Congrats to ‘Get Out Alive’ Winners!

My uncle Lucky and cousin Louie won the first season of “Get Out Alive With Bear Grylls” tonight!

Lucky_Louie_Aug14_2013I’m gonna quote my brother Nace here, from a comment on his Facesbook page:

[Lucky & Louie] never said Anything…. I just know that Lucky could teach Bear a few things about the woods, so I figured if there was anything real about the show at all, he had to see that. And I believe that they were almost the only ones EVER shown Laughing !

I gotta add here that my uncle Lucky took me and my brothers on many camping and fishing and hunting trips over the years, and it’s very cool to see him get recognition for things he’s been so passionate about for his whole life: both being in the outdoors and helping challenge others to try things they may not have thought they could do (a slide-for-life  into the quarry pond, the limb-leap onto the rope swing, the wild-meat meals, and many more). It’s very cool to see this award go to such a great person.

UPDATE: Here’s an interview Lucky & Louie did with NBC-5 Chicago.
