It's Friday, we know whqt that means,
another episode of "Do I hate or love Bear Grylls" is bound to arise. :rolleyes:

In advance of this epic event, the Wilderness and Survival Forum has dedicated this space for all the Bear Grylls topics:

Why does bear climb so much? :confused:
What knife did he use this week? (This week I heard it's a Busse??!!) ;)
Why does bear pee on his shirt? :eek:
Do I need a parachute to get into a survival situation? :rolleyes:

All this and more!!! Right here, right in this post. :thumbup:

It's the Bear Grylls thread!!! 24x7, it will be here.
(Do not mistake this for general bear topics like Grizzlies and Polar Bears)


Post here, and post often!
 
I think Bear is a bit on the nutty side, and his show and demonstrations should be taken with a healthy dose of salt, but he is undeniably entertaining. I especially like him when he admits he's having a perfectly horrible time, longs for his real bed, or wishes he hadn't just done what he did, like when he tried walking atop a mangrove swamp and was making pathetic progress.

He has a lot of skills, and is in tip top shape, but he miscalculates, does the regrettable, and usually tells himself, and the audience, when he has screwed up. I can really relate to a guy who can live outdoors, who generally knows what he can do and what he is capable of, and still does something that seemed like a good idea in theory only to admit he FUBARed it in the planning or execution.

He climbs so much because he is apparently excellent at it.:thumbup: He gets to think three dimensionally instead of being stuck to the ground. His trek off of the lava field on Hawai'i would have royally sucked for him without being able to get the avacadoes or the water in the lava tube.

Should the rest of us climb just because he can? No way.

I like that he is not wedded to any one knife because too many of us are.

He pees on his shirt because he is hardcore.:p He eats bugs too.

You do need a parachute to get into a survival situation with style and drama.;) It's only the producer's money he's burning up.

Relax and take him for the outdoor entertainer that he is.

I hardly think the Survival and wilderness forum is a place to discuss bare gorillas. Unless you are some kind of Jane Goodall groupie or something kinky like that. I did like the gorilla on the George Of The Jungle movie though. He was quite a survivalist himself, though not bare by any means.

Wait...is this about a performer of some type? Acrobat? Never heard of him.

Nevermind.:D

Skunk this a great post. Now we have a place to sit and bitch about a guy who's reality is many guy's fantasy. We don't even have to wait for the show to have aired. We can completly ignore the fact that this is TV and that the show has to generate interest to sell advertising. And if Bear makes a mistake in an episode we can hang him from the nearest tree along with Les Stroud, Ron Hood, Doug Ritter and all the rest. I wish I would have thought of this.
 
2dogs, It will be a booming success if we can get people to post during the show! :thumbup:

"Did you see what he just did?"
"I'd never cut a double-hook-loop-knot with a Wharncliff blade, it's just not proper!" :eek:

Then we can set-up an on-line chatroom, and do video-play by play, with commentary from various survival experts from our forum. ;)

SO, whether it's BEFORE, DURING or AFTER, we need everyone to post their thoughts right here.

What do you think of Bear?
Would let him marry your daughter?
Do you trust him around your pets?

This is the place to post, right here.
 
If he promised not to eat my dogs he'd great to have on a campout. We would need an English/American dictionary though.
 
I never actually seen his show, but i've watched a few clips on you tube. All I can is that after I saw him repel down a water fall, pee on his shirt and yeah running EVERYWHERE. I lost all intrest in his show, haha its really funny to see the stupid stuff he does though :)

And no hes not going to marry any daughter of mine( though I have none )
 
I'm with 2dogs. People that whine about Grylls and Stroud not being perfect are just jealous they don't have that cool of a job! I admire all those guys for making a livin' doin' this stuff :thumbup:
 
Thanks skunk.


Why DOES Bear pee on his shirt? the world may never know.


Edit :
I might whine about them (specificly bear) doing crazy stuff, but they are still fun to watch!
 
Well, I know this is gonna sound biased, but as a parasitic protozoan, I happen to love Bear Grylls. He's like a walking, erm....running parasitie Mardi Gras.

As for marrying my daughters absolutely, that is if he hadn't spackled all 3000 of them on the backs of his boots in the rain forest.
 
I've said it before and I'll say it again:

I like the guy.

The show is one of the few I'll let my 5 year old sone watch. It gets him excited about going out into the woods with me and he thinks "bear" its such a cool name.

Yes, Bear is a goofball. Yes, all of his idea's may not fly with sane folks.

He's entertaining.
 
Has anyone else noticed that Bear seems to like taking off his pants? He's done it in at least two of the episodes so far, and in tonights show he took them off on two separate occasions.
 
I missed it but it's on tonight again at 12:00 a.m. on Discovery so I'll tune in then, I haven't even watched this guy yet, sounds like I'm in for a treat.
