Bear Grylls

muddyjames:
I saw a dessert one once and he climbed into a camel skin still on the bones and peed all around the outside to put animals off eating him or his camel tent. Oh how I would have laughed if a big animal dragged the carcase off in the night with him inside. :lol:

Disco Matt:
I have to say I much prefer the Ray Mears approach (despite all those claiming that it's fake and that he has a fully kitted motorhome behind the camera). He just seems far more sensible - survival in relative comfort. Bear's antics, while entertaining, would be really stupid in a genuine survival situation as they put him at far too much risk of injuring himself in a silly way. It's bad enough having the scenery, weather and wildlife trying to kill you without doing daft things like walking around in the snow in trainers!

glaggs:
Not a big fan of Bear Grylls myself, much prefer Ray Mears - but it makes a change not to have to watch a namby pamby PC H&S restricted contton wooled wrapped sanitised piece of twaddle occasionaly. If he wants to climb without the 'right gear' he has the choice! as do we all. We still have the inteligence to assess risk and carry on accordingly. With the Media and Government Nanny mentality the next generation won't know how to leave the house without going on a course to get a meaningless certificate first.

I went to Manchester over christmas and there was a sale on in town , I found a really nice woodsman  shirt for £3  :shock: thought I'd buy a few .....................


 BUT on the pocket it had the imortal words Bear grylls  :roll: :roll:

no wonder there was loads of them left ...

the guys a prat the first rule in any survival situation in fact any emergency situation is don't take risks ,

walking around in trainers in snow would be a possibility in an emergency however I'd walk down a hill carefully rather than lob off the nearest waterfall  :roll:

Ray (fatty) mears is way better (if a little dull sometimes) but the facts are there and well put across , though I do think he puts too much time into cooking and eating than he does finding/catching the food  :lol: :lol:

Lord Shagg-Pyle:
Not exactly a glacier buster, but I've always thought this guy was pretty good. He had a cracking Landy as well!

His recipes for Stinging Nettle Soup and Spicy Squirrel are excellent! Highly recommended!
