Episode Quotes
 
MacGyver: And to track an eagle, you've sort of got to become one. Get up there with 'em.
 
Darin Cooper: I just want to do things. She won't let me.
MacGyver: Did you talk to her about it? Try?
Darin Cooper: She doesn't listen.
MacGyver: Well, if you don't talk, what's she going to listen to? Just a thought.
 
MacGyver: You know, the only arguments I ever had with my mother were about bed time. I finally had to let her stay up until ten.
 
MacGyver: Nature gives people and animal instincts that help them to survive. But up on the mountain, a part of nature was in danger of disappear, and instinct alone wasn't going to save it.
 
MacGyver: It took a little doing, but I figured out in a hurry the things a climber really needs. A pair of strong hands, a set of steady nerves, and a paid-up insurance policy.
 
MacGyver: They say drowning men see their lives flash before them. Falling men do, to. At least, this man did. And what I saw was about fifty years too short.
 
MacGyver: I personally don't know which is more dangerous. Falling off a wedge of ice down the side of a mountain, or falling into a thousand foot crevasse. And I really don't want to know.
 
MacGyver: I really wanted to get that eagle down to the cabin. But then I remembered there's only one kind of climber who tries to get down a mountain in the middle of a snowstorm. The kind you never hear from again.

* Ball bearings on a grindstone, and the sparks to ignite propane from a tank to create a distraction
* An inner tube strapped to the handles of a bicycle as a slingshot
* A sock to pack eagle eggs to prevent breakage
* Bedding from a chair to make nesting material, coated in vegetable oil that causes low-level spontaneous combustion to create an incubator for eagle eggs
