The Resume

    (October 20, 1961- )
    Born in Mimico, Canada
    Host of the Discovery Channel show 'Survivorman' (2004-)

Why he might be annoying:

    He carries a harmonica with him at all times.
    After marrying his wife in 1994, the couple cut off human contact and lived from the land in the isolated Canadian wilderness.
    He became dive certified just so he could be the host of the Discovery Channel's 'Shark Week' in 2008.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He learns native customs and attempts to learn local survival methods before filming an episode of 'Survivorman.'
    His show attempts to showcase techniques that an average person might need if they are lost of stranded in the wilderness.
    Several people have survived being lost in the wilderness thanks to skills learned from 'Survivorman' episodes.
    He is completely alone while filming 'Survivorman,' thus he films the show by himself. This requires him to carry several pounds of camera equipment across sometimes inhospitable terrain.
    He is an accomplished blues musician, and has recorded two albums.
