Kevin Mcleods escape to the wild

[RaaRaaNoiseyLittleLion]

Anyone just watched it and gone grrrrrr!

The useless bloke on there is being patted on the back for being adventurous and living his dream with his doey eyed wife at his side and all I'm thinking is what a deadbeat dad!

For those who haven't seen it its about a couple who live in very rural Scandinavia and 'brave' the wilderness frontier with their huskies.

So basically he F'd off to another country leaving two kids in the uk so he could follow his dream. He skypes them twice a week and he and his wife bang on about how his kids are his world and how much he misses them! I'm sitting here thinking not enough to contribute to their upbringing or regularly see them though!

If I was Kevin I'd be asking questions about honouring your responsibilies and not putting your own dream first but then I guess I'll never be a tv presenter!!

I really want to see the Nicaragua one now. I can't find it anywhere on YouTube

I thought the same about the man in Scandinavia. How can his kids be his life if he lives so far away from them out of choice?

I looked at the bushcraft website that someone posted earlier, and it is based in Merthyr Mawr. We bought a puppy from a house in Merthyr Mawr about ten years ago. We both thought at the time that the man seemed a bit strange, but the pup was fine so we went ahead. I'm wondering if it was the same man! He is really into dogs, so I just thought there might be a link.
