RE: tred barta?
I've watched Tred's show for almost a year now. For most of that time I held a very low opinion of the man...sanctimonious, narcissistic, borderline unethical, etc... But I kept watching for some reason. Now I've almost completely changed my assessment. The guy can be so over the top and so tongue in cheek at the same time that I thought he really took himself that seriously. Now it's obvious to me that he's usually the butt of his own good-natured jokes. Any guy that will haul some crazy mountain goat halloween costume to the far end of creation just for a laugh can't be that bad. I still think that his views on technology are completely inconsistent. The next time he goes after a big eyed tuna in a birchbark canoe I may change my mind on that. Until then, he doesn't need to lecture people on the evils of using blinds or decoys to kill a turkey (that's just one example). All in all, I'm a big fan, and Tred---he's the MAN!
