SAS: Are you tough enough

Post by ace_compton »

Hi all,
Well in new zealand last night on channel one there was a reality tv show hosted by ex-sas members, it was about 40 or so civvys going thru a mock sas selection run by ex sas guys, they are only doing a 10 day course, but the sas guy said it is damn close to effort required to get thru real sas selection, of course 85% of these ppl were about 4 hours or so behind the required times at rv on on the long drag...wasnt a bad show really, its on again at 9:50 monday tv1 for all you kiwis out there.

later

theres also 'SAS survival secrets' done by the same poeple (Eddie Stone etc) which is also pretty interesting

The only thing i have seen is one episode of catching chris ryan or whatever its called. It was the one set in artic conditions where he nearly died.

They've been on before you'll have to keep an eye out for re-runs.
