OLD GI - I merged your thread with this one. I'm curious, is Bear a bare bear or is a bear a bare Bear? Can Bear be a bear whether or not he is bare? If barely bare is Bear Bearly bare or is he barely bare like the rest of the bears? Curious bears want to know.

Had the opportunity to talk with some British soldiers who were @ Levenworth training a few weeks ago and they all laughed about Bear. Funny guys.

There's a vid floating around the net (youtube?) where Grylls is in America and is interviewed by a black camera crew who ask him-"Why are there not many black explorers or mountaineers around?" and Grylls replies "You have to be messed up to want to do it"..:)

If I went on that show, I would win, because I would get rid of all the other players by the end of the first week. I tried to say that nicely!

I didn't like Man vs Wild as a educational show {which it was not} But it was good for a laugh, same as Big Bang or Modern Family.

Awe that's nothing - you should have seen the show before it.... Surviving in urban English hotel environments with crazy people and english accents...

i liked him better anyway. (sorry if you just got screen raped)

dual survival beats them both, imo. yeah, i know it's scripted, but canterbury and lundin are the real deals.

man, woman, wild gives me something better to look at, though.

Ok Im new here and I have one question why is that everyone likes Les better than BG? I personally dont like Les's wait to die way of survival. And I also know that most people dont care for BGs balls to the wall way of doing things. But as far as survival goes BG does teach you things that will save your life like how to escape quicksand or get out of a frozen lake. I have never heard the question "how did you know how to survive?" awnsered with "I saw Les Stroud do it on tv" but I have heard "I saw BG do it on tv. Not trying to start a fight just wondering.

Does BG have the training to survive, I'm sure so. Was his TV show more stupid stunts ans shock value than useful info, definitely. Sure there was some useful bits of information sprinkled in here and there, but some of his stunts would more likely kill someone then help them survive... just my 2 cents...
