Bear Grylls Fans are Savages

I'm glad people got as much of a kick out of this as I did. Keep the funny comments coming!

That's nothing compared to the new 2013 BG line from Gerber. Check the vids on youtube. Survival Belt, Survival Blanket, Survival Lanyard, Survival PONCHO!

I really like Bear but he's too lenient with the use of his name and likeness.

Which reminds me, Mykel Hawke has his own knife brand now through SMKW (not his TOPS collabs). Wonder how they'll be judged.

Actually, I think Bear is a marketing genius, and I say this without any sarcastic intent. His achievements aren't actually that impressive (although certainly more so than mine!), but as an unabashed cheerleader for American-style free market capitalism, I totally admire the way he has parlayed his name into a brand and his experiences into big bucks. Of course a lot of his stuff on TV is showmanship, and a lot of the things he does are more entertaining than educational, but it's still miles better than "reality" soaps, and I don't really care whether he slept in a motel instead of inside a gutted buffalo carcass or whatever. The business model works, and the endorsement deal and the line of BG products is obviously profitable for Bear and for Gerber, and nobody is forced to buy the stuff. Three cheers for free enterprise!

The BG knives are just as much of a piece of crapola as his ridiculous show.

I am sure that the "thief" was only taking the knife to survive the wilds of WallyWorld after being dropped off by his mother.
 
That is classy! A perfect example of why I try to avoid wall mart
However......I do really want a BG survival poncho!
 
I like the fixed he had in the first few seasons of M vs. Wild.. Before he sold out to the cheap-o line-up he has now.. That was a knife!

I have to add that I loved watching the show (beats whatever the wifey had on TV :D) and I did learn a few things here and there.. I'm an outdoor junkie, so if I'm stuck at home, beats TBS's Tyler Perry horse shit LOL

Amen to that.
 
Homeboy could have made a lean-to out of that packaging. What a rookie.

Ironic that the BG survival knife probably sent him into a survival situation...
 
So he injured himself stealing a Bear Grylls knife, of all things? Jesus, if you're gonna hurt yourself to steal something, at least make it something GOOD...
 
I work at Dick's sporting goods. I see this about 2 to 3 times a shift.... people will steal anything that is not nailed down. my favorite of all time was when I was walking my department and I notice a drop of blood here and there, I follow the blood and come to the back of an isle. there is blood al over the floor! I find a knife still in the package covered in blood. what people like to do with knives is bend the packaging in half so the blade rips through the plastic. It looked like the blade went straight into the would be thief. I then followed the bloodtrail out of the store while quietly chuckling to myself.
