both really cool shows

Actually met Jonathan the captain of the Time Bandit last fall at a local bar. Guess it's one of his favorite haunts when he's at home. He was a kick.

The show is great. Ice Road Truckers is looking interesting too.

no shit i noticed that to!

discovery is teh shizzy!

Can't wait to see this one here. We lived in Yellowknife for a few years(What newfie hasn't! lol) and in the years we lived there only 1 went thru the ice, he was new and was speeding. Big fine for him too!! Been on the ice road as well and I can tell you, you do hear the cracking!

When I was in Yellowknife working with the airlines and I use to fly loadmaster into BHP with the loads it was nothing but tents in there... when I left 5 years BHP was a damn city with all the building etc! We use to go caribou hunting out on the ice roads and it's amazing to feel the water moving under you when those trucks are driving by!

As Raw Alex said those trucks are only allowed to go fast, actually anybody caught speeding on that road is fucked!

In the 5 years that I was there I only heard of one truck go through the ice and it's because the idiot drove over a part of the ice road that was closed!

I just watched it on You Tube and Discovery is really making it out to be a lot worst then it really is!

Alaska??? It's Canada, the Northwest Territories

Great show i watch that show all the time.

Thanks Buddy!!!

Deadliest Catch is great! Discovery channel rocks.

That blog rocks BTW...I´ve got it on my bloglines feed reader and every post is awesome.

I love the Discovery Channel and loved Deadliest Catch!
While the ice road is really interesting.. I don't think I want to watch a show on truckers. :2 cents:

2 great shows, glad they made Ice Road Trucks into a mini show.
