Another new Bear Grylls knife

I am a huge grylls fan and I have beensince hs show started I watch because it's fun and I wish to be a survivalist but I need to loos so e weight first anyway I would never put bear down but sme of the thing he shows is a bit extreme ( drinking elegant poo water! jumping into a frozen river naked!) and I take it with a grain of salt but the other 90% of the show is pratical info like how to find you bearing how to filter water in the wild certain plants that contain water how to keep cool in the desert how to make cordage , just to name a few

I don't care if it is just a TV show for entertainment, the POS needs to quit telling so many lies about the area he is in.
Any other lies would be fine if not about the area he is in.

Some people acually care about the geographic history of an area...esp if they live there !!!

He should not tell where he is at, and the show would be fine. Or at least quit making up crap about the area's he is in.

Instead he comes to an area(like Little River Canyon near me) and tells all kind of lies such as 15' alligators being in NORTH AL:rolleyes:

I can stand some little white lies, like we all do at times, but I can not stand anyone that fabricates a lie.... esp about something as important as the true geopraphic makeup of an area.

If he ever quits telling the area he is in I'll start watching again.
 
do you know of any other episode where he made up crap like that? because that was the only one i know where he made up crap. i mean ... i don't know if there are any aligators in alabama at all, but if he was in northern alabama (like you said) and the only aligators in alabama live to the south, he might just messed things up and told something wrong. The only thing i'd be mad about, would be that they could've changed it in the post production.

Maybe one of the local guides he consulted with in that episode told him that to try and sound cool and bear believed him
 
the producers give him a script to read, he just does what he is paid to say and do, relax or bad mouth the producers how do we know the great LES hasnt been a little misleading to make a good show?:jerkit:
 
Bear is an excellent entertainer, and has kohones like few others. He not only drinks elephant poo water, but camel digestive tract water, snake guts, eats bug and maggots that I dont want to even get close to, and takes risks that that are utterly redicuoulus.

I am a huge fan.

You know all those times when you say LOL, you weren't really laughing out loud? This is not one of those times. :D

Do ya think he got sponsored by Gerber or something? Not to knock the baby food or anything, but it seems like a bit of a step down from what he was using....
 
When he climbed on that rusty chain and old rope grapple across a gap was insane I seriously worry for his saftey sometimes

all I know is me or my brother will buy one

Edward Michael Grylls, chose to read from the scripts, chose to repeat the lies, chose to say they were true no amount of editing can cover it up

And yes, I find his show entertaining (i love watching who--s in the woods) :)
 
IMHO the issue isn't what he does, it's the way it was presented to the viewer. When the show first began they made a great effort to tell the viewer that Bear was out there all alone doing all this stuff with no support or safety precautions. Anyone who saw early episodes before he was 'outed' for sleeping in motels and then saw them in reruns can easily tell you the difference.

After he was caught they added the disclaimer to the reruns and edited his commentary. For one example, in the glacier episode he initially said "I found this dead sheep" but in the revised one he says "A farmer left this sheep here so I could demonstrate..." or words to that effect. Same thing with snaring a rabbit. In the rerun he now says "I didn't actually snare one but the crew gave me a rabbit so I can dmonstrate..."

It's not what he did, it's that he tried to pass it off as something else. Yes, Bear is way tougher than I am, but I never lied about sliding into a crevasse without a safety line.
 
I suppose there are some basic survival skills you can pick up watching him, but he recommends some pretty stupid stuff sometimes like pole vaulting down hills, or the worse I ever saw was reccomending that you drink water from elephant dung.

I couldn't care less if he was staying at hotels or anything of that sort. Les Stroud quit because his his show was too physically tasking; if they would put Les Stroud up in a nice hotel a few miles away Survivor man would still be on the air. So I mean, while I don't really like his show, the fact that he's not really out there all alone is a good thing.

I wish they would offer Les Stroud another show.
 
If I had to choose an adventurer to hang out with it would be Josh gates he seems really cool I only wish he would carry a knife more

Someone with no clue has typed. SAS would steam roll your average grunt...we won't even bring Russia's Spetsnaz into the picture, that would be completely unfair.
 
What's it going to be called?

Ps: do you guys think the bk2 is something bear would use or is it to heavy
