Anything wrong with being in the TA?
If you think selection is easy in the TA SAS then why not have a go?
They still have to do the same tasks in the field as regulars, just with less training time available and full time jobs too!

Having worked with SF both regular and TA I'm aware of the huge gap in training between the two. As said above by carbore, I'd rather watch Ray Mears for a factual programme on survival. Bear is good for the "shock" entertainment factor if that's your thing. It's just not mine. Chris Ryan did a simular sort of thing a few years ago. Not seen him on TV recently, where as "Andy McNab" is popping up everywhere, showing the serious side of army and SF work.
boss:
i much prefer bear grills to ray mears for several reasons...
no survival expert is that fat!
he wears those bloody shorts....you know what i mean
and he has a god damn film crew with him at all times, its like saying "i can survive in this wilderness....aslong as i have my trusty swiss army knife, a compass, my film crew, my film crews supply of tracker bars, my film crews supply of water, my film crews climbing equipment, my film crews boat , my film crews satalite phone, my film crews "magic ciggarettes", my film crews generator and PS3 with WI-FI connectivity and the 300 games they bring and of corse my my mosquito net"
its not ray mears extreme survival....its ray mears on an adventure holiday!
i saw bear grills pull a catfish out of the water with his bare hands! if mister mears did more of that fine, but he doesnt!...wuss! :lol:
if there was a fight between them grills would decend on mears like a ninja and smack the white off him!
check and mate!
