"The Wild Within" TV show.....

[Mooch]

So right now I'm watching this show on the Travel Channel. It turns out that they are doing a show about surviving and living off the City of San Francisco (eating pigeon eggs by the beach, a road kill raccoon, picking out edible plants in the Golden Gate Park and eating boiled snails) and long and behold.....a segment of the show had Kirk / Monkeyface doing a "how to" on poke poling for monkeyface eel (at Fort Baker) What a trip 

Now they are doing Leopard shark research (catch,tag and release) in the Bay with "Capt. Steve". A leopard and a Seven Gill has been caught, tagged and released. Now the host of the show keeps a keeper male leopard and plans on eating it.....commercial...

Don't you think the host kind of looks like a rail thin version of Brian G?

Yeah, I forgot to mention that. They actually dropped a crab trap and brought in a "Giant" bicycle

Don't you think the host kind of looks like a rail thin version of Brian G?

Yes!

*On another note, it was kinda funny how the host described Kirk ...and I quote "Kirk is one of those who spends way more time around fish than people....so he's a little unusual but in a really appealing way"

Yup.  that's pier 14, where me and piski usually haul out the boat on our transbay adventures.

I saw that show last night. Kirk was good. Loved when he served the roasted road-kill raccoon at the dinner party, and the look on that one gals face when he told them what it was.  Show was alot of fun.

Did you guys see his previous shows?

I believe the first one was in Alaska when he hunted for dear and havested some dungies.

And my favorite one was when he went to Molakai / Hawaii and hunted for deer, went spear fshing for octopus and some reef fish, gathered some opihi and finally went wild bore hunting with a knife. At the end, he and the locals cooked everything the traditional Hawiian way. It's really cool to see that there are still places where you can live off the land even with modern society just around the corner

Boiled snails from GoldenGatePark = plain yummy!

So garden snails are edible?  I heard somewhere they are non-native, brought here for food...  but didn't believe it.  Too much salt and magnifying glass experimentation in my youth.
