If you're spending your nights in hotels it's probably safer to stick with the fake bears.

If you fake it, you don't have it.

That's one count of being a bear.

Hence why Survivorman is way more truthful and cooler.

TV? Fake? Unpossible.

I REFUSE to do a GIS here.

Man vs. Wild is still a good show, and it's obvious that half of the stuff is staged. I still find it cool when I learn the different nutritional and medicinal properties of regional flora and fauna, regardless of whether or not Bear Grylls is sleeping in a cave.

It's a goddamn TV show, what do you expect?

You think things are really THAT exciting?

dogdaze: Man vs minibar

Dan'l Boone kilt a minibar on this tree...

"BEARFARKER, Do you need assistance?"

Where is Timmy Treadwell when we need him?

Bet he can't fake getting hit by Terry Tate, Office Linebacker.

I like the steelers better anyway...

Les Stroud would outlast Bear in any climate.

And film it all himself.

HE obviously does not do it the Barta way. The Hard way.

Tred Barta... occupation: man (pops)



Hunts birds with homemade arrows

The man ate a live snake dude. A live freakin' snake dude!

I never really suspected that he spent every single night out in the wilderness.

They film for up to two weeks at a time. I don't think he would or should stay out there every night that they are filming. I think the night shots they shoot for the show is when he stays out there.

Anyways, this sounds like BS. From what I see of his personality on and off camera, I just don't think he'd stoop to nonsense like this.

Can't wait for the new episodes of Survivor Man starting August 10th.

ps69: Where is Timmy Treadwell when we need him?

Gently waving in the breeze on an uncharted island in Alaska.

I still learn loads of stuff from the show, "Man vs. Wild...... when I'm stuck in the woods I would definitely prefer sleeping in a hotel if one were available! Just makes him seem all the more sensible to me! As for someone wearing a bear suit? Again..... that makes a hell of a lot more sense than confronting a grizzly! I don't think we need another Steve Irwin event!

I want proof. Bear rocks. I love that show.

Obligatory.

It taught me to bring a first aid kit and a couple of extra containers of food and water when I hike. And a GPS receiver. And a Bic lighter.

/not squeezing the water out of any animal's shiat to drink

gregory311: Bear farker!

DO YOU NEED ASSISTANCE?!

Ominous shadow != Bear attack

That said, it's still extremely lame.

This bamma is a fraud. I saw this episode and he acted ike something was attracted to his fire. He creeps out of the tent and peeks around, then he comes back to the camera whispering like he might be in danger.

If I recall, I belive the next day he showed evidence that something had been at his campsite. A few things were knocked over or something was chewed.

/Get him off the air
//the other Survivorman dude is better.

i might not know much , but i damn well know how to survive in the woods. if you take any of this clowns advice seriously you gonna die... in a bad,bad way. Crawling up waterfalls for no reason and burning fish guts in a fire so every bear in a 50 mile radius knows you're food are not ways to make it out. This cat claims he was SAS or some garbage but he must not have ever read the SAS survival guide ( which i highly advise that anyone going deep carry one ). Survivorman at least shows common sense technique and doesn't make any stupid risky moves. Discovery and Grylls are going to get somebody killed by airing these fluffed up stunt shows..

Survivorman > Man Vs. Wild

There I said it.

Here's a BBC News link for ya.

His entire show is like what do to if you want to die in the wilderness. Heck, he took a leaky boat into glacial waters and then swam to shore.

Hahahaha! What a LOSER!

And what the fark is his real name? Or did they just hire him because his name was "Bear Grylls"?

Dear Bear Grylls,
In Serious Forest bear grills YOU!

I bet it'd be a great Halloween costume, but I just can't figure out how you would dress up as a bear attack.

/Grammar.

This guy's a big fat phony!

Shucks. And I was totally going to name my next child, "Bear." I guess I'll have to name him "Magnum" instead.

Sir...Sir...HEY BEAR farkER!

/yeah, I don't care, it wont kill you to read it again.

Can someone post the article? The Sun is blocked here. This is what I get:

I've had issues with Man vs. Wild from day one. I would assume a former Navy Seal would have no problem surviving in the wilderness. I would freakin' hope so. Survivorman is more like me, somewhat overweight, not necessarily in the greatest physical shape, and does actual scenarios, like finding yourself stranded on a mountain with a broken limb.

Not finding yourself down in a big freakin' hole in the middle of the desert with impossibly smooth walls. It's a hole. In the desert. Kinda' hard to miss.

Who cares if he sleeps in hotels or fakes bears...

The dude climbed Everest when he was 23, sailed the artic ocean in an inflatable raft, etc. At least thats what the intranets says...

Hes already proven himself as far as I am concerned, and he has good survival tips.

He drank his own piss last week in the Outback...

FTA:
SURVIVAL expert Bear Grylls faked a bear attack by getting a colleague to dress up as one in fancy dress, it was claimed yeterday.

What is fancy dress for a bear? Did it have to wear pumps or something?

jack_o_the_hills is right.

Every episode has Bear climbing something or hopping over rocks for no reason.

Every episode also has him take off and recklessly run as fast as he can, which has resulted with him taking a few spills.

If he's going to take those kind of chances, then he should at least do an episode on how to survive and treat a compound fracture.

Les tried and had to give up after a couple days and just do it normally.
