Parts Unknown was the only show on Netflix we actually binged watched.  As many have said, not surprising but still sucks because he's one of the celebrities that I crushed on.  He fault valiently against pretension and inauthenticity.  His interaction/friendship with Eric Ripert was always a real world, perfect version of the Odd Couple.

What a tragedy to his family...especially his 11 yr old daughter.  This is a dark painful legacy that she has to carry at such a young age that will haunt her forever.

Your children should be your reason to LIVE, no matter how shite your life gets with your spouse job etc, at the very least be around for your kids.

I respect and admire Bourdain  both as a Chef and Writer, but as a father myself that was seriously f*cked up thing to do to his daughter. 

I don't think I will be able to look back on him with the same respect and admiration because of that.

Sitting out by the pool this evening discussing this exact thing. I just don’t get it. I’m a bit jaded with him now also. Really looked up to him before this.

I hate to admit it, but I as well just don't get it.  I have countless eps of No Reservations on my PC and both Kitchen Confidential and Medium Raw in a rather small/mid-sized home library.  I understand people can have inner demons and serious mental issues but this is just hard to take.  I'm going to have a difficult time ever even rewatching one of my favorite TV personalities of all time.    

Definitely a harder pill to swallow celeb death wise than any in a while.  Robin Williams, Anthony Bourdain, it just boggles the mind.  Feel so bad for his daughter.  I know there needs to be a level of respect in these type of situations but suicide, especially given his situation, is just so crazy to me. 

You can understand loneliness, regret, pain, shame, etc. but to sit in the bad feelings and let it brew to the point of terminating your own life is just mind boggling.  I'm not religious or anything but I hope everyone out there is doing well; let this be a moment. @Johnny Rockets is right above: jaded is the right word.  I'm quite sad about this but I'm not in the mood to memorialize him.  This stinks :/

Loved Bourdain and have for 10+ years now.  This is the first celebrity suicide that's really hit me I think...and weirdly finding solace in the fact that it seems he was so well respected and loved by so many (I always thought it was just me and a few other Travel Channel fans back in the day). 

I understand the take hating on his suicide for his daughter's sake, but at the same time, no clue what his life was actually like. It just fuging sucks all the way around.

The research also makes clear that in more than half of those deaths, the individuals were not diagnosed with a mental health condition. It’s a hidden problem for many people.

According to Dr. Anne Schuchat, principal deputy director of the CDC:

"These findings are disturbing. Suicide is one of the top 10 causes of death in the US right now, and it's one of three causes that is actually increasing recently, so we do consider it a public health problem—and something that is all around us." Alzheimer's and drug overdoses are the other two causes that are on the rise, according to Schuchat. 

In the year 2016 alone, 45,000 people died from suicide and Schuchat warned, “Our data show the problem is getting worse.”

      Snow in the high country

      By rayzor · Posted

      yeah. winter backpacking trips were the most miserable and amazing experiences. same with the coldest and snowiest hunting  experiences. i love being in it. makes for incredible memories. the worse it was, the more i ended up loving it. made the greatest memories.  i just want to get out of it afterwards.

      I forgot about Jackson...definitely elite.  The sad part of your list is that 2 of them were 'there for the taking for the Panthers'.  Rumor has it that Hurney loved Herbert and was vetoed on trying to trade up.  And rumor has it that Frank & McCown wanted Stroud.  I believe both rumors.

      Snow in the high country

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.
