Since most of you hate bear grylls. I read a lot of the stuff on that bear wiki site that shows a LOT of stuff he's been caught doing, but there was hardly anything for season 3. I hadn't had the...

I think I figured out how that works. Our bodies burn the high energy fat during intense workouts, it being a better supply for energy and at those times needed to conserve and utilize the muscles...

That's a very interesting link you provided Rick, funny it's pretty much the opposite of what the general belief is. So do we have a catch 22 here? Seeing that muscle is used before fat, you might...

Okay, this might seem a little strange but giving it some thought I think it's a decent question. I got to thinking about how our body burns off body fat for energy first when food is not available....

I liked the answers to my question just fine, but we've gone off course and we're talking about something else now. Like I said, it's demonstrations, so the fact that it's staged really doesn't...

I said what was shown, not what is true/not true. Which by the way, do you have a link to that Crash because I can't seem to find anything about it on youtube. Is that just another story about him...

Actually though Sarge, it did show him urinate into his canteen, as to whether not he actually drank THAT and not something else put in it (or a different canteen altogether) we don't know. And it...

I'm not going to argue about the validity of Man vs Wild but I'm pretty sure the stories he tells about other people are true. In the same episode where he supposedly drank his own urine he said that...

Okay so in the SAS survival handbook it says to never drink urine. Plain and simple. But I was taught that urine is steril, and therefore okay to drink immediately after urinating but better sooner...

I just bought that book a week or so ago but I couldn't find a pocket sized version, I payed 20 bucks for a big paperback that probably weighs 4 pounds. Real pain in the *** actually, I wish I would...

This seems obvious now that it has been pointed out to me, thanks guys. Maybe we got lucky? There's really not that much ventilation in most tents, I think we zipped up the "windows" or whatever,...

I'm not sure if this thread is in the right category, since it was more of improving and being innovative rather than creating anything. But back in scouts on a camping trip me and a couple of tent...

Honey is probably one the most valuable sources you can find in the wild, I honestly believe. Not only does it absorb quickly into the bloodstream giving quick energy, it's a powerful antiseptic and...

crash I hope that is not the impression I give. I take everyone's advice seriously, I liked that video by the way erunkis, you did a good job. Sorry if I went off course but I don't appreciate...

Technically yes, but I probably wouldn't want to use my clothing too much other than clothing, unless necessary. All I plan on bringing is a source for fire, a knife, and a small first aid kit (maybe...

That's great and all but the whole point of any of this for me is to see if I can get by...

Well I don't plan on taking a tackle box with me you know? It's not like I would use the spit as bait.
And you know the qualifications in boy scouts probably HAVE dropped, I wouldn't know for sure,...

And I never actually suggested catching fish with spit, the spit just gave me an idea, I had them swarming and it could be used to lure them, not actually catch them.

Well I just turned 22 last month. To be honest I would not say boy scouts prepared me for any real survival situation. While I did learn a lot of great skills, camping trips were very controlled, and...

Yeah I figured, just wasn't entirely sure seeing as how it's like a thriving ecosystem, thought it might cancel out anything bad lol. What about the slow running, very shallow stream?

At least a store bought pot. Making one on my own with only what nature provides (and my knife of course) is high up on my list of things to learn and master.

I went to a lake nearby my house today and walked around, went up to the shore and was amazed at how many little fishies were all over the place. There was literally a meal that could have filled me...

Well because if you had to distill salt water you couldn't very well make a fire right there on the shore could you? That situation makes transporting easier though because there are coconuts but I'm...

A neighbor of mine a few years back when I lived in a different location had a few wolves, and a few huskies all living together and fenced in (in a rural area). It was funny because the wolves...

But don't forget the liver damaging effects of tylenol. Of course you have to take a lot of it (there's a 4 gram daily maximum) but if you're in a lot of pain don't just assume the more tylenol you...
