Kind of like the public education system when you put it that way.

That sounds about like par for the course.

My sons and I watch ol' Bear and I let them point out what they think are his mistakes and stupidities. We then discuss what Bear could/should have done that would have been safer, smarter, and more effective. I have to say, they're mighty adept boys. Makes a dad proud.

So, I guess I do have to give Bear some credit. His show has proven a good catalyst for some very interesting and educational discussions in my house.

Here's my idea for the next "Numpty...er...I mean..."Man vs. Wild" episode. Bear has to survive in South Central, in East L.A. wearing the wrong gang colors. The rest of us get to bet on how long it takes for the "bangers" to shove that expensive knife up his cute little tush!

**Rick** · 02-04-2010, 04:29 PM

All righty then. There's three words I never expected to hear from you in the same sentence....Bear.....cute......tush.

I'll be backing out of here now.

**hunter63** · 02-04-2010, 04:59 PM

Yeah, what the???.........
Never mind.

Well the fun is over after Les Stroud's New Orleans survival show, he hung it up and took the proceeds to build a log cabin off grid somewhere in the USA.

Bear is still making shows.

Just saw on another forum site that on one of his (recent?) shows, that Bear gave himself an enema to ingest non-potable water while riding on a raft. Anybody see such a thing? If it's true, it's no surprise.

**lucznik** · 02-25-2010, 07:03 PM

It was played as a rerun last night on Discovery so; it is definitely true. It wasn't just "non-potable" water either. It was water contaminated with bird feces.

Nasty.

I didn't let my kids watch that part. Too vile.

**Rick** · 02-25-2010, 07:05 PM

What a load of crap.

**Ted** · 02-25-2010, 10:18 PM

Well he certainly needs a enema...he's so full o's**t!

**Rick** · 02-25-2010, 10:24 PM

I think that's what I said.

**Old GI** · 02-26-2010, 09:49 AM

All the enemas in the world and he'd still be FOS.

**Rick** · 02-26-2010, 08:00 PM

Since Les and quite the Survivorman series and no one likes Bear (NO ONE!) I'm going to nominate these brothers to kick off a new series in survival reality shows. I think they have a lot to contribute.

i did my survivle with the british forces and they teach you not to take any risks if you hurt yourself it is harder to live! the stuff bear does is just for show! and why does he have to talk like that?
