Bear Grylls Posts go here!

Is Survivorman on DVD yet? I will be buying that post haste his swamp adventure was really entertaining.

As to a knife for Bear, how about Bear in antartica building a snow cave with a Ka Bar Fighter.

What knife do you want to see Bear or Les use? and Why.

I agree with you that Bear seems like a big-knife guy. I can pretty much see the look of glee on his face, whacking down a good-size tree with a big bowie or camp knife. Les on the other hand, seems happy with his multi-tool, and no interest in weapons or heavy tools at all. Nothing wrong with either way, just different personalities I reckon.

Put it this way... if we met, I think Bear wold want to try out my TrailMaster. I'm pretty sure Les would scowl and say "that's way too big to be useful." At which point, I would whack him upside the head with the flat of the blade and skin him alive to make myself a nice coat (he's fatter than I am, so that should work, right?) "Is it useful NOW, doofus?!?"

Sorry... got a little carried away there :o I would never do that... he's too short, the sleeves wouldn't fit me.
 
I'm sure les would shoot you with his anti-polarbear rifle from the tundra episode since he has the power to recall any episode:rolleyes:
 


Plus, Johnny (AKA Lord Greystoke) always had a foxy chick with him wearing skimpy outfits, and a chimp for survival food if things got tight.

Yeah, Weissmueler could climb waterfalls, knife a charging lion, take on a whole tribe of headhunters singlehandedly. And swim? He was an Olympic champ. He was a crocodile hunter too. And he was a knife guy. Not a tiny knife either. A real, honest to goodness sheath knife.

Ray Mears can kill a tiger with a 39cent knock-off swiss army knife (the one with the one inch blades):D
 
I agree completely. I was responding to SubaruSTi's suggestion that I "quit life". Following Strud's survival advise would get a lot of people killed, but I doubt it would happen that quickly - unless you jump off a cliff like him.
 
OK, my turn to nitpick... on tonight's episode, he had a flint and a stout knife. He was lucky enough to find a fairly fresh-killed zebra and ate some. My question is, if he was planning to build a fire that night, why the heck didn't he take a whole bunch of meat with him to cook later? Then it would keep for a day or two.

Like I said, I know I'm nitpicking, but I thought I'd bring it up.

At least he didn't try to ride the hippo, lol.
 
Bear just seems to do stuff to show you how, he drinks water out of poop when hes not even that thirsty? You would have to be on the brink of death to do that...

Another thing is theirs so much cut out because he gets "rescued", I like how les has 7 days no matter what.
 
I could be wrong but i think it's west as the survival consultant every episode. I know I have seen his name in the creditws on other episodes.
 
OK, cool. I thought maybe it was just that show, since West seems to specialize in African safaris.

perhaps zebra meat is better raw, like tar-tar steak?

i dont know about you guys, but most of the stuff he ingests would make me puke, so the dung-water and the raw zebra would have had the opposite effects. puking dehydrates you, right?:D

i still get quite a kick out of this show..
