This guy is a first class selfish moronic prick.

We need a shit-load of chlorine in the gene pool, and we need it fast.

I, too, disagree with the whole "challenging his environment" bullshit. Simply because that's all it is: Bullshit.

This guy, and others like him, are glory hounds who needlessly take extreme risks with no consideration for the safety or well-being of those who may be called in to rescue or recover him from his own selfish stupidity if one of the thousands of possible bad scenario's unfolds.

It needs to become very clear public policy from the local level all of the way to the national level that anyone willing to take an "extreme risk" will do so with the knowledge that there will be no rescue, no aid, no negotiations for you, and recovery of your body will only occur if/when nobody else is put at risk. For extreme risks, both Murphy & Darwin will be re-instated their proper authority and mankind will once again step aside.

This policy also needs to cover those dumb asses who think doing crap like hiking along the Iraqi-Iranian border or sneaking into North Korea is somehow a good idea.
