Timothy treadwell had some strange views on conservation. It was hard to tell wither he was feeling those from the heart, or if they were driven my total schizophrenia. He created some unreal views of wildlife which no one has or will ever do again, but at the same time broke the boundary between showing and telling. Every time he touched a bear it drove me crazy, and all I could think was "Well, I know how this is going to end."
Homeboy spend 10 seasons in the Alaskan wild filming and living with the largest land mammals on the North American Continent. I dont think there is anything hippish about that fool. I backpack every weekend and saw my first bear a weekend ago... Freaked me out.
