These are the men who crab the Bering Sea during what may very well be the shortest crab season in the world. I know it is one of the most dangerous. This is a show I have to walk away from. I just find it too distressing. Last week one of the boats went down Out of 6 crew members only one survived & three were never found. Within hours another boat lost a man overboard. Without a life suit you get exactly 3 minutes survival time in the water. Besides, the sight of all those big seas & heaving decks makes me sea sick without getting anywhere near the water.
The crabs bring extraordinary money but I wouldn't eat one if you paid me & no crab, however tasty, is worth a man's life. Men are most extraordinary creatures. I know Dino would dearly love to try this. I pray God he never gets the chance!

That show, on the Discovery Channel here in Texas is very popular. I have always been afraid of water so I can't even think about watching it. My 17 year old son loves it though!
