Tred Barta Recovery Update - Return to TV after Tred Barta paralyzed in 2009
In spite of of being restrained to a wheelchair, Tred Barta refused to live a dull life and decided to keep on living life “The Barta Way”. On 18 December, he appeared on TV screen after his mysterious paralysis while amusing his viewers as he use to do in the old days before his mysterious disease. The major difference was only that he use to stand on his two feet before but that time he was in the wheelchair.
The beginning of the episode was heart aching when he started the episode with these below words. He also said that even though he is paralyzed but he is healthy and every morning when he arouses up he prays to attack life in the old fashion. Now for his fans there is good news as he is back and ready to initiate TV life once again. Our best wishes and good luck to him for a successful career by return to TV after Tred Barta paralyzed in 2009.
Read the words of Tred Barta told Versus about his upcoming show:
"This is an episode viewers cannot afford to miss. Remember I was just leaving for a bear hunt when I became paralyzed from the waist down and the cameramen were right there to capture it. Viewers will follow me from the day I left Longbow Ranch, where the incident happened, through the hospital for ninety days and then finally my return to the ranch. It is a sobering and an accurate account of what happened to me. Anni and I cannot watch this episode without tissues nearby. The fact is I’m paralyzed but healthy. I’m paralyzed but wake up every morning ready to attack life the way I’ve always lived it. And viewers can too. All they have to do is follow the on VERSUS and get up and out into the field. Life is about doing your best every single day. It is that simple. Please watch my new premiere show on December 18 and let’s travel around the world together. Thank you for this opportunity to say hello."

Anonymous — Sat, 11/06/2010 - 08:05Good luck on your recovery. Maybe you could be the one to create a "all terrain ( 4 wheel drive ) wheelchair for those who used to be as mobile as you once were. I've been handicapped since 1962 & have become more so in recent years; but just as you have kept a positive attitude & a go gettum philosophy; so have I.

Anonymous — Mon, 11/01/2010 - 02:49I have been watching your show for years and you have been an inspiration to me and others. I heard you say once that the hunting experience should'nt be considered a sucess only if harvest an animal but on enjoying the experiece and keep working at reaching the goals you set for yourself. I hope you have a speedy recovery and I know you will always set new goals for yourself and live life to the fullest.
Thoughts and prayers
