Now you've gone and done it. H63 is going to have to go cool off.......and no - he wasn't wearing a coat.
Just trying to be helpful. We wouldn't want anything bad to happen to Ruth. (We do need to get rid of that husband of hers, though).
ray mears is well suited for long term survival bear is quick to get out of the woods. i dont know what bear really knows.
http://youtu.be/f4Ipkc8cCDk this is the trailer for Hillbilly Blood. we start filming season 2 soon.
Gene - for those of us that don't get 3Net - will there be another way to watch your show?
Awww, c'mon gsip, you know you you're just attracted to that cute tush of his! 'Fess up! :whistling:Quote:

Very cool, I'll be watching for it.....Need to find some of the 3d glasses, I guess.
Well, if Ruth would do what Bear Grylls did and strip down naked and do push-ups in the snow the ratings would be off the chart! :creepy:Quote:

I don't know about the secutity of this site but downloads of his pamphlets are available here. Tony

Gene, that is awesome!~ Congrats, I have always enjoyed your take on survival!
I have mentioned Mors several times on here and have several of his pamphlets as well as his book, "Bushcraft: Outdoor Skills & Wilderness Survival!" :smartass:Quote:

Cody Lundin was a student of his and Mors was the the one sho influenced him to start him wearing his Mora knife around his neck on a piece of Para-cord. Mors also uses the Mora knife! :smartass:
A few years back we had a member come on here briefly who knows Mors personally, although we haven't seen him for some time. :thumbup1:
Asemery - I removed the link to the last site. That is a known malicious site as listed by Semantec. It spawns multiple windows and you have to download proprietary software to open the pamphlets. So before someone got caught up in it I removed the link.
I like both but I lean toward Mors ^^
I have to read his book thanks for link
That's great, Gene. I'm happy for you. You know you're stuff so it should be a good show.
I dunno stranded somewhere with no way of getting food bear would keep you alive longer. He would do something stupid and get himself killed and you have about 200lbs of food right there.
With what he eats, and drinks.....I don't know if I would eat that.
Nothing wrong with snake blood, and tree bark grubs with a side of slug slime ^^
Along with a pint of urine! :creepy:Quote:

Hi Guys, new to the forum, but new to the subject, at the ripe old age of 65 :-)
BG, is fun to watch for his showmanship, Mears I have never seen, but John Wiseman is the guy I want with me, have used his book for years to teach my students.
I would just watch them all for various bits of information that can generate ideas for further thought. I can practice many of the suggestions they put up to see, but can use common sense to eliminate or do more research on the ones that are more critical in nature. And most of the shows show the disclaimer that crews are there and in some cases, local experts give the hosts hints and information on the flora and fauna in that area. Just don't take every word they speak as Gospel with out testing.
I love Bear Grylls, alot of what he does is dangerous, but when in dire circumstances, you risk nothing you gain nothing. I've recently been watching Dual Survival and will be getting the Survivorman series on DVD.
I agree with the above post, you learn something differant from all of them and they are all useful in their own forms. What Bear puts his body through is amazing, but it just goes to show it can be done. Cody is great he showed how to make a container out of a tree stump by burning the inner bark with coals, which i've never seen done or heard of before.
Every survival show in my opinion has their strong points and their let downs.
Made some comments in red. :yes:

I will continue to watch MvW, but one episode at a time. I think thrre is a limit to how many times one can fall in 60 minutes.
As for being stranded with him, I'd say "see ya", because I wouldn't want yo be stuck taking care of his impetuously broken leg.
I"ve got some You Tubing to do, because I think that I have missed some important stuff. Thanks for that, folks.
PS...Grylls is off DC?
Wow, the Outdoor channel is going to have a field day; Hawke, Canterbury, and noe Grylls up for grabs...
Yo FJ, keep the news about the Hawkes on the down-low...we wouldn't want to depress Hunter, o.k.? :innocent:Quote:

Amen. It seemed that Dave Canterbury had a flashback to a civil war documentary and thought it would be a cool idea to gunpowder a non-lifethreatening would. He would have been better off to urinate on it and seal it up than do that. It was not a heavy bleeder. He lost just a bit of credulity with that, but the thing with survival is that it is ultimately a solitary pursuit, so you figure out what works for you or Darwin takes over. I still watch all these guys when possible (exc for BG) just to get their perspectives. Like any advice, the listener decides what to do with the given information. That is the fun of it all and is why forums and groups like this exist.
What........Why didn't see this coming?.....Aw man...bummer.....Quote:

Dual Survival, Survivorman and Ray mears shows.. I've seen every single episode of these shows and I love 'em.
After watching a few episodes of Bear's Ultimate survival I knew enough.. this is ment to entertain people instead of teaching them anything about survival. I do not treat the forest asif it was a parkour course and I would not eat raw meat while i have the tools to cook it.
Hyper active folk also tend to get on my nerves and the merchandise he sells (survival knife etc) turn out to be rubbish.
So yeah.. give me Mears :)
I hate to get involved in arguments about who is the best and who is real/fake, but please allow me to provide information that others may not have. I have not seen many of the survival shows, but I was interested to see "Survival in Samoa" by Ray Mears on the Internet. Mears did not attempt to do anything new but showed some of the techniques used by Samoan villagers. I think he did a good job without a lot of hype.
I was a Peace Corps volunteer in Samoa (Western Samoa) and can attest to the techniques shown. For example, Mears shows moray eels being captured in a box trap. That technique is used to capture small morays (the large ones can be poisonous) to cook on hot stones for the Sunday dinner. I lived with a Samoan family and helped pepare the meals many times. I support Ray Mears for informative, low key films.
Faiaoga ("schoolteacher" in Samoan)
Grylls is my man, sorry Survivorman fans
Don't apologize, just try to find the poor slob some work, ok? According to Les' website he'll soon be back on the tube teaching survival! :clap: :thumbup:Quote:

Give him time to read three more threads and make two or three more posts and he will realize he knows more than Bear and change sides.
