Put me down for 1 with this years stricter permit rules.

And I'll say 2, just because you beat me to 1.

Someone made a thread but posted it in GBS for some reason. The thread was poo poo posted into Oblivion and the guy posted a banme.

This thread was originally in GBS. I didn't realize it wasn't still until now.

Joe Rogan recently had Jake B Evans and Bud Brutsman on his podcast and they get into Everest rescue missions a bit during the interview. I actually saw Jack Evans speak at a work convention several years back and he has some interesting stories.

Why are they not doing this together?

Because it's a race to be the first to solo it.

Maybe I missed it, but they never mention what food he’s taking with him, aside from two bottles of wine and a block of foie gras. The video shows some tomatoes and bananas, both of which will be rotten pretty quickly if he doesn’t eat them first, but I wish they had gotten into the details of what he’s bringing with him to survive the 3 months he suspects it will take him to literally float across the Atlantic. I also couldn’t imagine how much that barrel constantly moves around, even in still water.

Rations are one thing, especially if they’re dehydrated, but that brings another question up: how much consumable water does his craft hold?

I read that barrel guy has made 4 other transatlantic voyages by sailboat, so I guess he knows what to expect by now.

E: Also read that there's an old superstition among sailors that bananas are bad luck, but I suppose barrel guy's not really sailing but floating so hopefully he'll be ok.

Kinda reminds me of Bionic Commando.

E: now that I’ve played it, it’s not Bionic Commando at all. It’s loving evil.
