The shattered shower glass thread and subsequent knowledgable replies being just one example of hundreds of posts that look for help and ALWAYS get helpful, informative responses from the font of all knowledge, that is LFW, made me ask myself the question;
Is there any random question that would have team LFW lost for words, unable to answer?!

I'm reading his book "How to survive" and the section on shark attacks is both fascinating and harrowing.
WARNING: Don't read this next bit if you are eating!
If you are in the sea and there is the risk of shark attack, the fact that bodily fluids attract sharks means that: - If you need a wee, you need to do it in bursts - If you need a poo, you need to - gag - grab it as it comes out and throw it as far away as possible. That could present some practical challenges!
If sharks are nearby, you'll probably need both!
You can avert an attack by doing the following, but you'll need guts to do it: You swim confidently *towards* the shark, shouting at it underwater.
I bet you didn't expect to learn that today LOL.
I've been listening to 'Real Survival Stories' on Noiser in the middle of the night. It's from the same people that do the short histories, as mentioned on here.
Most of them are quite good - was listening to one the other night were a guy got pinned under his quad bike in the Canadian Rockies for 3 days fending off a hungry pack of coyotes. That was a tight spot.
Towards the end of the tale he calmly threw in that he'd been visiting people for dinner the night before: told them he was going out tomorrow check his traps, and if he didn't come round the next evening that they should call for help. But they never bothered their arses - he didn't sound too impressed with that decision.

If I were to ever to find myself in a situation where I was about to attacked by a shark I would simply opt out entirely by shìtting myself to death.

I've watched a YouTube video about the guy who got trapped under the quadbike, it was gripping stuff. The "I shouldn't be alive" videos on YouTube are worth a watch, there are some great stories and heart warming escapes.
"Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1."

The peak sawtooth waves of Loft for words were surmounted for me when someone posted the Gross domestic product annual turnover of Benin , during the second half of the Preston home match thread a couple of years ago.
8% apparently.

Might look into that. Used to enjoy 'I Shouldn't Be Alive' when still in The America - strangely amusing to find out what the hapless adventurer will do to themselves in each episode.
Did you ever watch Dual Survival, RF? That was good - you had one former Special Forces meathead hurt locker type with all the gear, twinned with this slightly overweight spiritual healer bloke who was always in bare feet. The special forces guy (Joe Tyrece maybe) used to make a lot of reference to being 'behind the 8-ball' when the situation got remotely tricky.
This relationship eventually fell apart however during an episode where they had to get to 'safety' through deep snow, and the living-off-the-land bloke refused to wear anything more than socks, resulting in him eventually becoming immobilised with frostbite, the eejit.
The show took a short break after that and then came back with another living off the land guy, but this partnership rendered the concept slightly pointless, because the new one actually bloody loved living off the land and wanted to stay for a few days in whatever grass hut he'd construct, plus food seemed to just fall into his lap - fish, birds, everything! Could tickle a trout in his sleep and apparently completely eschewed the internet, the loon.
At that point they had to start creating scenarios for Special Forces Joe to prove he could bring anything to the partnership, and he just wanted to manufacture a quick false sense of adventure for 2 days and get back to his gas-fired barbecue anyway. So that was, I think the end of that. Good show anyway!

I love "Dual Survival," but when the presenters were Joe Teti and Cody Lundin, things got really ugly. They never liked each other but as I recall, after the frostbite incident you mention, there was a subsequent episode in which Cody completely lost it and started larking about, throwing key bits of survival kit away deliberately. He left the show after that.
