Whipped Cream Difficulties

This is partially a continuation of the survival theme, but I also see it as a slice of life from a culture that I’m honestly not all that familiar with. (Except for the jokes about everything outdoors being lethal, and “Fosters: Australian for Budweiser”.)

“Bush Tucker Man”, the original documentary, by way of Australian Bushcraft Magazine.

Major Leslie James Hiddins AM (born 13 August 1946 in Brisbane, Queensland), known as “The Bush Tucker Man” is a retired Australian Army soldier and war veteran who is best known for his love and knowledge of the Australian bush. Hiddins is recognized by his distinctively modified Akubra “sombrero” hat and big grin.

This is basically an Aussie version of Euell Gibbons.

Bonus: the documentary resulted in a spin-off series, also known as “Bush Tucker Man”. And many of those episodes have been uploaded to the ‘Tube as well.

Akubra hats in the USA. One of these days I’m going to hie myself over to Brookshire or Pattison and pick up an Akubra.
