I'll take Ray Mears please.:D
Well, it's tricky to locate a tornado that lasts for a whole seven days, so Les can do his thing. ;)Quote:

I have stopped watching Bear Grylls, but I will probably check out this episode!
Looks like another pee drinking party.
Love Survivorman watch it everyday love to learn from his mistakes
I'm with everyone who likes Survivorman...I saw the one where Bear eats the "****berries" from a heap of bear offal. He shows all this extreme stuff that ain't necessary. Les is more down to earth and does everything practically...Bear Grylls is an idiot and I refuse to watch him...I think he's a dumbass...And you can quote me.
So why don't you mount up yer 'ole hoss & mosey on over to the intro section & tell us all about yerself?:cool2:Quote:

We just like to know a lil' about those who care to grace us with their presence :D
Survivorman gets my vote, no question. But I agree, they don't show enough on basics. He does let you know that the crew will come back and clean up whatever mess was made. I enjoy the different scenarios they set up, which are helpful. Planecrash, motorcycle broke in the desert, etc. Plus the crew "gives" Les some items occassionally.
We can all pick up a tidbit or two, here or there on either show. Even Bear Grylls shows us what not to do, and how to recover if you do it anyway. Mostly they are good entertainment (like tv wrestling). Man vs Wild is more active. Survivorman can be boring to some, but in a survival situation the younguns need to know that the trap is usually empty, and that the deadfall may land on your hand when your trying to set it and haven't eaten in days, etc...
ditto that one. ******* mears is cool. hes what bear and les wish they were with a touch of james bond. hes so smooth.Quote:

bear just seams liek a show boater and he has the rugged good looks that makes for good TV celebrity.
i can name half a dozen guys making youtube videos that are probably just as wilderness capable but lack the charisma/cult of personality.
that my newbie opinion anyway :0
What is a ray mears, and does it really know what it's doing? Never heard of it.
Here ya go. http://www.raymears.com/Quote:

Man vs. Wild & Survivorman are 2 different shows and shouldn't be compared head-to-head, but they do have some similarities. However, they are both outstanding in representing survival skills. Bear has more technical climbing skills and more, but both TV hosts are very qualified and entertaining to watch. I do see more humor with BG- especially incorporating Will Ferrell in Men vs. Wild show-June 2 10pm EST.
Anyhow...
