Yeah I did and I can't stop wondering if they were getting serious or not with the insults they were trading. In the last minutes Bear saying something about Will "mistaking him for his wife (or girlfriend?) last night" or something like that. It was wierd.

They didn't look too happy with each other or it just seemed that way. :confused:
 
I like how les can get enough food to have excess sometimes on his adventures, but bear always ends up having to eat something horrible. I think they are two different type of survivors, les is trying to survive and get to some help slowly and carefully, bear is trying to run to a location he knows means rescue, so two different worlds of survival really.
 
here is idea for him, line of vitamin water called "poop juice" with his portrait on the bottle and signature .:thumbup:

Get some.
 
This past week, Bear had to cross a 120' drop. Out comes some kind of shoulder canon to fire a grappling hook. That's hilarious, cause I take one of those on all my backpacking trips.
I get that it's for entertainment, but he's going so far out of his way to pull off crazy shit. Other than military, what deomographic would ever have one of those?

No doubt..lol...I was thinking the same thing and forgot about that canon until you mentioned it. Then what's worse was the insane climb across that wire!!
 
Me and my fiance LOVE Man Vs Wild. We find it very entertaining.

The part where he made a tank top out of the dead seal was one of the funniest things I have ever seen on TV.

We laughed till we cried.

That is pure entertainment. :)

I would like to see him do an Arctic gig, dressed in a wet suit, running from a polar bear. :D

He sure didn't fake climbing Everest or being in the British Special Forces...I know he's a pretty polarizing guy, but most of us couldn't do 90% of the stuff he does on TV, scripted or not.

Don't get me wrong. I like Bear's show and all, he's just too athletic and high risk to try and duplicate most of his stuff. I'd want him with me in a SHTF scenario. I especially loved when he strapped that giant fan on his *ss, attached it to a para-sail thingy and flew to the top of Everest! That was a man versus wild moment alright. :D

I think his whole crew being there is a required safety net for his survival hijinx. He'd probably have killed himself many times over w/o supervision and expert direction/consultation on the techniques and sequences that he films.

Les, Cody and Dave are more what a normal man could hope to learn and do, and then just "maybe!"
 
The show is for entertainment purposes, im not saying that bear grylls is a fake, i believe that he does have the knowledge and skills neccesary to survive, im just saying that hes not only a survivalist, but a showman.
 
These Bear bashing threads get old quick - why can't people get it through their heads that it's a television program geared for entertainment value - if you want to learn survival pay for a class and don't rely on what you see on TV.

I wouldn't. He'd probably kill and eat me.

Later in the episode he catches two 6" trout and after stating that the waters where he is at are so pristine that it would be ok to eat them raw. He then bites the head off the fish, spits it out and starts munching on the fish like gollum in that lord of the rings movie. The whole time I am like WTF!!! You have a knife! I just saw you use it.

The commercials for this week show him building some trap, and demonstrating it by destroying a watermelon. a) Where the hell did he get a watermelon in the first place, and b) why does he need to build a trap if he's got a damn watermelon he can eat?
 
Bear grylls did climb mount everest, sail around the world, and was int he special forces. The problem i think is that Bear is a supercharged man capable of doing the most amazing things. In one episode, i saw him trap a reindeer, slash its neck, drink the blood while it was flowing out of its neck. Then with his entire face covered in blood he guts it, and rips out the heart and east it raw. This all happened in the span of 10 seconds. later in the episode he cuts of the reindeer leg and uses it as a walking stick.
 
i think bear needs to get a little more props than what you guys are givin him. He does have quite an extensive background in outdoor extremes and was in brit special forces. so what if hes gone to hollywood, i would, for the paycheck!!!
