So let the DARWIN AWARDS take effect by killing off those stupid enough to believe that BG is correct. Have you seen INTO THE WILD the movie yet? The spoiled rich kid thinks he knows how to survive, but the DARWIN AWARDS kick in, and he does not make it.

 | | I still hate the man because he's no differnt to me, sorry guys but this guys an attention whore and cares about how he looks doing this than teaching you anything. Its my opinion this guy cant be comapred to Les, Ron Hood, or Ray Mears.
Ya he got his fan base back, unfortunally. His fan base consists of young kids who dont know survival (sorry to you people here, I know you guys are experiance here  )
When I had my stroud videos on youtube, I got tons of messages from people saying "Bear grylls is way better than everyone else" and it was just really lame. |
I agree.

Naw its not a waste of space, its like one of those stress relievers that therapists always talk about, letting out your frustrations. I am pretty sure if there was a dart board with the man vs. wild logo on it, it would be pretty well filled with holes right now  I just hope some person doesn't see him and say hey I can do that, and then go and try it.

I have seen the commercials for this new season. The obvious market is for the PETER PAN types that thinks they can just use the TOUGH GUY tactics to beat any situations thrown at them.
When I was in my 20s I did just that. I was out there hiking 20 miles a day up and down mountains., but on well traveled trails. I could have broken a leg, or could have been caught in darkness. I could have been overcome by hypothermia, but I was moving so fast; and I always had a good tarp-tent and artificial fill sleeping bag. I was in an area that had tons of water at all times, and I did have a buddy at most times.
Since Bear obviously survived his season, it would be cool to do a 1 week survival challenge against someone else.

Top 10 Reasons For Not Inviting Bear Grylls To Your Party:
 He'll come in through the window. Even if you're on the 10th floor. Especially if you're on the 10th floor.
If it's BYOB, he'll bring a sack of elephant dung.
He'll be wearing his underwear on his head.
If someone suggests spiking the punch, he'll unzip.
He'll say he's starving, but he won't touch the snacks you put out. You'll start wondering where your pets are disappearing to.
If he gets cold, instead of asking you to close a window, he'll take out a knife, gut the sofa, and climb inside it.
It will be crowded with all his crew there, doing things for him.
Okay, I guess that's only 7, but you get the idea.

| | Seriously guys, am I the only person here to wanted to jump him? This attention whore is going to kill people when they try to copy his stunts (that is all they are, stunts). I'm sure he knows how to survive, he just isn't sharing it with anyone else! And he taking attention from guys like Les, the REAL Man in Man vs Wild!
He is the Outdoorsman version of MTVs "Jack^ss" |
Actually he doesnt even know how to survive. Watch the credits and you will see Presenter Bear Grylls, and then it will list a completely different person as the survival expert. All he does is do whatever that guy tells him to! HES A MONKEY!

Whoa Dude!
I've been thinking the SAME THING for every show I watch. If any *normal* person attempts what he does, they're toast.
Sorry I'm late to the party, but I just _noticed_ this thread.
I think the guy is an A # 1 masochist, and likes to punish himself in front of an audience. He also flirts with Death WAY more often than I would recommend. He is an example, perhaps, of what not to do when out in the wild?

I'm sure he knows a little. you can't know everything there is to know about survival. even les has a few experts that come out and give him a few pointers. "The training experience has been fascinating. My instructors: Douw, Lee, Koos and Raphael have put in long days showing me the plants, animals and skills necessary to survive out here." as said in Les' blog for his African Plains episode. Les is learning and thats half the fun of bush craft. learning it then using it. All I'm saying is you can't blame a person for finding a mentor. I am not trying to defend Bear at all. I'm just saying to find a better way to say he is a fake like no surviving in the wild. check it out.

Well I mean Les has to try to remember all of the stuff he has learned for the trip. Bear could just ask the survival expert at any time what he would do. And the difference is Les had mentors, they are not with him on the show like that guy is with Bear.

When I need a "survival info fix" , I don't watch LittleBear...I come here.
That guy is going to get someone hurt.....bad!!!
He also likes to get naked WAY too much for me to want to see.

Well I went to google and type in Bear Grylls videos and there is an entire page with lots of snippets on them. Especially enlightening is the one where he admits to David Letterman on camera that he stays "down the road at a Motel 6" during some of his filming. And what really threw me was the heroic walk he made out in the wilderness over a volcanic shaft 
I won't spoil it for you by telling you what I saw.
My faith in him is in the bucket, although we're *sure he knows something*
