I suspect it's probably to raise awareness for donations since his sponsors pulled the plug on the expedition.

The very definition of badass, if you ask me. I genuinely hope he makes it and then writes a book ... I'd buy it in a second.

Recognition? Plus if he survives and does write a book about his journey then I'd definitely want to read it. Balls of steel or madman? Either way this guy kicks arse, the only thing I didn't like was that the article came from the Daily Wail.

there be his website. Not sure how he is managing to blog in the amazon, but we have some crazy tech, so whatevs. It is certainly amazing to see someone today who isn't afraid to go out and do something like this. Hell, it's probably one of the last things we have left to conquer as humans, walking the amazon on foot. We have been to the highest and lowest points on the planet, and everywhere in between, but the amazon has always seemed like one of those inhospitable places no one wants to fark with. Good on him for being a badass.

The power of Chuck Norris' beard has been exaggerated. Its primary purpose is to be a jizzmop.

If such a donation fund existed I would say that I would donate, but then not actually donate. Not because I don't support him, but because I'm poor.

Great idea! Someone should set up a PayPal donation account for this guy!

An UFIA might be this guys undoing. But it would be badass to have farkers find a way to get this guy the rest of the way through... cool thought, bro.

I don't know this man, but I have met Chuck Norris in the gym. He repped 150 a few times, sipped a Muscle Milk or something then left in his Escalade after a half hour. My ex used to babysit for him. Cool story, huh bro?

That being said, this would be an entirely different type of survival show or book than the popular Man vs Wild or Survivorman series'. When armageddon comes I want to have this man's skillset.

Don't try that pickup line with a Shoryuken modification.

Contrary to popular belief, you CAN'T break much ice with "The ladies call me SHORYUKEN because I'm forward - down - down-forward fierce!"

"In the Army he was known as 'Spice Girl', a moniker earned when he attended the officers' mess one day in a pair of jeans that were considered 'too trendy'."

You just know that Uncle Darwin is licking his chops over this guy since smart, strong, capable people don't generally pass on their DNA. There is no chance in hell I could keep up with him but I think Fark should have an excursion into the Amazon.

Think of all the meme potential encapsulated into neurotoxin.
It's like liquid slapstick.
