Another new Bear Grylls knife

I love how every time somebody starts a thread about Bear Grylls' knife, a bunch of armchair warriors use it as an opportunity to talk about how much of a tool he is. I am pretty sure the original poster asked about the knife he was using, not how much of a fraud you thought the man was.

Well, are you going to tell him what you know about the knife?

If not, your post is as irrelevant as the ones you speak of.





To stay more on topic...I think his new knife is a piece of crap:p

1. Man v. Wild is just a tv show. Nothing to get one's feathers ruffled over.

2. Bear Grylls has almost surely done more in his life (in terms of adventure and outdoor living), and can climb better, than all of us put together. So dissing him as a pretender just doesn't work.

3. I too own a Gerber Prodigy. :thumbup:

I have spoken. :)

Good post powernoodle. You've been heard :thumbup:
 
It's a TV show. Powernoode has it about right. I couldn't do a show like Gryllis. While I think Gryllis does some stupid stuff, I think his shows are quite good overall. My least favorite ones are the island (ocean survivial) scenarios. I do think the AL episode was a hoot also. You just have to go there and look around.
 
idk why people get so worked up about grylls. it's a tv show. get over it. its not like it's some average guy doing this stuff either. i mean he made it into the sas. and he also climbed everest like a year or 2 after breaking his back pretty bad parachuting accident. he's not some joe shmoe like most people on here. if he had to survive im willing to bet he could do a pretty job of doing it.

Well said.
 
every one calling him out I bet couldnt do the things he does,or has done. and its a tv show for entertainment not real survival training
 
as previously stated this man has litteraly broken his back, climbed mount everest, served in the british special forces, and the things we see him do on tv, like eat a 6 inch grub, or on my favorite episode, catch a reindeer in a trap, slit its throat, drink its blood, and then eat its heart,(this actually happened it was the most badass thing ever) all within about 2 minutes, noone should be dissing him for not being completly real, the survival techniques he teraches are, and so is his competance as an outdoorsman
 
Yeah, its just a show, and he is tough, entertaining ,etc...

But I feel when in an area he should not make stuff up about the geographic history of the area.
I'm proud of my area, and don't think he should have told people they are 15' gators at Little River Canyon. You have to drive hours south to find gators, and none are 15' way down there.
Some people like to know the truth about geography. Heck, they may want to go there one day.


IMO he doesn't need to even mention the area he is in, and the show would be fine.
Or if he does tell where he is, he should at least try to google about the area and gets the basic facts, instead of making stuff up about the area.


Other than that small detail, its a great show:p



The knife...I'd want better when outdoors.
 
Better to pick up some helpful tips (some nearer to reality than others) from Bear than to watch Dancing with the Stars (although the knives used by the surgeons on those gals were most likely bigger than whatever Mr. Grylls carries).
 
Man there are some haters on here. It's a frickin TV show. It's entertainment. 90% of the people who watch it have never been in the woods and probably never will. Bottom line is that the guys makes an ass-load of money for doing what most of us wish we could do day-in and day-out. It's a fun show and I like watching it....but I don't write down everything he says and use it as my survival bible.
 
British "special" Forces... :) Just a free laugh every time I hear it. Much respect, but my boys n green have them every which way. Thanks to all of our Armed services and their families; Here and abroad. Your Service and Sacrifices make our world a better place!
 
Actually the UK's special forces are highly regarded by American special forces fyi.

I enjoyed Stroud's show with the teens stranded in the woods after a bus wreck. It's episodes seemed to just stop, however. The kid's channel it was on just seemed to drop it before it finished - anyone know why - or what happened?

That was called "Survive This" and the episode you mentioned was in Season 1. Season 2 is currently airing on OLN (maybe some other channels, but I watch it when I catch it on OLN).

Oh, and just a comment on Bear. I love his shows for what they are - entertainment. That guy does some crazy, and dangerous, stuff even if he sleeps in a hotel occasionally. It's TV people.

You gotta be kidding right:confused: The British invented modern special forces, are most elite units were modelled after the SAS. This is in no way meant to knock Americans as I am one and a member of the military but you have to give credit where credit is due.
 
One of those shows that everyone professes to hate, but everyone watches...
I can think of some knives like that.
 
the britsh special forces are some of the best in the world SAS is up their with the seals and the russian spetsnaz.
