"Lost" in the Everglades, Bear was toting a Buck Zipper, the gut-hooked version of the Vanguard...

Nothing too wacky tonight, I thought, except for when he jumped into a sinkhole to demonstrate how to get out of one. He ate a small frog whole, which was... Different.

I'll keep watching this season, just like I slow down for traffic accidents. *sigh*
 
I caught it,as well. Not a bad episode. Nothing he did made me scream at the TV- my wife says that this is a good sign for Bear...

was hoping if anyone can upload the new season- some things he does is fairly interesting but others either make me laugh or cry or even both. Someone already uploaded the whole first seaon on youtube- so...
 
I liked it although I thought he overplayed the alligator paranoia a bit...but thats just me
 
I liked watching him cook the turtle by just throwing it on the fire. Stewed inside its own little pressure cooker. :thumbup:
 
Tomorrow Discovery channel is running the entire last season in a marathon starting at 8am central time, 12 hours straight.

I've seen him and Les Stroud both cook animals with their entrails still inside them, seems like that would be unsafe????? :confused:

:thumbdn: What's the deal with the gut hook??? Why on earth would he take a gut hook knowingly into a survival situation? Other than what they're specifically made for, they suck. And, I don't see him field dressing a whole lotta big game on that show.:confused: He probably forgot his knife and had to borrow one from his camera crew.:D
 
Bear is a complete tool, but he is making money hand over fist. I don't think he knows the first thing about woodscraft, he came up with an idea for a show and sold it to the discovery channel. He is just an actor, nothing more nothing less. Chris
 
Chris I agree I think most of his information is not his own but is taken from expert advisers, I think he's just the face of a much larger operation. I think much of what he does is overdramatized, However from an entertainment perspective I enjoy the show immensely and as an athlete I can respect his physical ability...However I think swimming whitewater or climbing waterfalls or out of quicksand when you don't have to is never a hot idea.
 
Yeah, I didn't understand why he used the Vanguard with the gut hook, didn't make a whole of sense.
 
I wrote him an email and told him an idea I had for a shirt.
on the front:
DOES BEAR GRYLLS SHIT IN THE WOODS?
Back : Watch Man vs. Wild!

They wrote back that they would take it under advisement
 
Its just a tv show, so I don't get too worked up when Bear pretends to be stuck in "quicksand" and so forth. Good entertainment IMO. :thumbup:
 
Good entertainment? As in comedy, right?

He's an idiot, little better than the late, great Steve Irwin. Chris
 
I'd still rather watch Bear over one of the 15 CSIs or a reality show that has nothing to do with reality.

Same goes for Survivorman, I treat it as entertainment, not education and it beats the majority of other tv.
 
Yeah and his knife sells for like $700. I was like WTF it looks nice but not that nice.
 
I like MVW, he does some outlandish stuff, but overall I think he has a good idea of what he's doing. Afterall, if I only learn one thing an episode, its one more thing then I knew
