Fat Men Can't Hunt

On BBC3, 11pm Mondays...A project that involves taking lardasses and putting them in the Namibian Kalahari to hunt'n'gather in the traditional way.

Amusing watching them struggle to find 2000 calories a day, and the fact that the locals walk 30k a day without thinking about it while the tubbies think 250 yards is a long walk.

Ray Mears with a difference...

Funnily enough, Moth and me are off to the Kalahari very shortly, in both Namibia and Botswana. On Saturday, in fact, we fly down to Cape Town to begin our journey. Fortunately we won't have to forage for food, and even if we did, we have enough fat on us to keep us going for a few weeks.

When old fashioned two stroke motorcycles went down hill they went chuf chuf chuf - it was called hunting. If you imagine a fat git going down hill ------yeah , fat gits can hunt!
