Please Pray For Capt. Tred Barta

On his way to Alaska to tape his TV show, Tred Barta suffered a rare occurrence called a spinal stroke affecting his T2-T10 vertebrae. Since there are only 12 of these Thoracic bones, that's a very large area. He is currently paralyzed from just below the chest down. Prognosis is way up in the air at the moment. Some medicos predict permanent paralysis while others have given him up to a 60-percent chance of at least partial recovery.

His message to everyone is Don't take a single second of your life for granted.

George,

Never heard of this condition and our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.

oh man :-[ Tred is a stud, this news realy bums me out.

I will pray for him

I saw his show where he shot a mallard with a bow and arrows he made and the duck was flying. That is impresive

Thoughts and prayers go out to Tred and his family.

Thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.

He and his family are in my prayers.

Good lord, that's horrible news. Prayers out to him and all involved.

That is terrible. I wish him the best. I  admire the way he likes to do things the hard way. I will never forget one of his episodes where he was hog hunting in Texas. Instead of using a gun or bow, he jumped on it and stabbed the hog to death.  

Wow. That is awful news. I always thought the guy was a little out there but anyone who has seen his show has to admit that he challenges himself to catch fish and kill game in ways that most people wouldn't even think possible. He is truly an amazing sportsman. I hope he recovers so that he can at least go fishing and hunting again, even if its not at the same level.

Prayers and best of wishes for Tred and his family !! Always liked his show.. He had some very educational points during just about every show...

Prayers and thoughts for his family and him. I always enjoy watching his show.

Totally suks! I'll definitely pray for him and his family.

Terrible news. I wish he and his family (and friends) the best. I don't hunt, so when a hunting show comes on, i change the channel. Not Tred though. He would make it so entertaining you couldn't turn away. We're all pulling for ya.....

Keep the faith Mr. Barta. Will be praying for you and your family.

My prayers go with all.

hoping for the best recovery

Good luck Tred!!  There are a lot of appreciative and good ol'hardheaded, like-minded folks pulling for you!!

Prayers sent

Sad to hear. I always enjoyed his shows.  Hope for the best recovery possible.

I once heard someone say yesterday's history, tomorrow's a mystery but today's a blessing. THINK ABOUT IT

Thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family.
