    Default Duty belt at work?

    Uh-oh...now I have to start saying nice things about cops?? Glad you got a sense of humor man, I was trying to take a dig at all those acronyms you used I had to keep stopping reading to figure out RFP and LBP and all that, lol. (My best friend is a cop, by the way, {ducking})
    some fella confronted me the other day and asked "What's your problem?" So I told him, "I don't have a problem I am a problem"

    Don't get too excited, Bear only filmed four episodes for this season, and they've already aired. His site is still on the Dicovery Channel site

    - Man VS Wild : Very good show. I watched every episode in one sitting. The thing that people don't understand is that every survival show doesn't have to be without camera men. Bear chooses to have camera men, and that doesn't make his show any more fake. He isn't there to show you that he can survive in the wild by himself, but to teach you how to.

    - Survivor Man : My all time favorite show. It truely captivates the real essence of survival. The host does an excelent job of showing you what to do in survival situations all over the world, and the fact that he doesn't have a camera crew makes it even more exciting. There is nothing wrong with this show at all.
    Good way to sum it up. I agree with you.

    An old car hub cap for a "fire pan".
    An old tire that would make a good smoke signal if set on fire.
    Trees that were down that, coupled with a tarp would make a good shelter.
    A small spring leading to a nearby river that would provide water and had both frogs (for eating) and minnows (for bait to be used in fishing the nearby river.)

    It really was a lot of fun.
    I do that frequently. I learned it from our local volunteer disaster response team course. They called it "Seeing With Earthquake Eyes"

    I call it "What'll kill me and what'll help me"

    OK. You're right. I'm paranoid. I wanted to join Paranoids' Anonymous, but they wouldn't tell me where the meetings were...

    Hate bustin' yer bubble, Dark Dude, but don't count the mighty Bear out yet! I received an answer just yesterday to a question I e-mailed to Discovery and they said he will be back, but that there will be more disclaimers and clearer explanations throughout! Les Stroud is really smart doing his own filming as if he does decide to cheat there's no witnesses!

    More disclaimers, hmmm.

    In a real fast lawyer voice and jargan.

    BG reserves the right to; use a porta potty, spend nights in hotels, eat hotel food, take showers....................(AHHHHHHH THAT'S WHY THE SOB NEVER GOT HEAT RASH'S IN THE JUNGLES, HE TOOK SHOWERS, USED CLEAN TOWELS TO DRY OFF, APPLIED BABY POWDER OR HAD AN ASSISTANT DO THAT, THEN PUT ON NEWLY WASHED AND DRY UNDIES) GB reserves the right to cut and paste and make up situations that he really is not in, and he reserves the right to dress his buddies up in bear costumes to throw "SCARY" shadows in the twilight hours.

    I reserve the right to just laugh my arse off when he's on tv. British SOS, he probably took a college coarse in British military history and then had is arse carried up Everest.

    Guys a joke.

    I like both shows while both are edited many secenes of Bears are staged(Ron Hood was advisor on Bear's show for a short while and had a few negative things to say about this) and now there is word about Bear staying in hotels at night and geting a lot of support from his crew. I Think that Les tries to show a senario as it might really go down. An as for good speling I am amazed that the human race actually survived before written word although I did see less put a message in a bottle.

    I loved the fist season of Survivorman with Les Stroud (sp?). And I was exited about Man vs Wild until I started watching the first show and he was "using" a river to travel farther faster.........it was obvious that he had a life vest on under his shirt. I turned it imediately and have not watched since.

    Default The Show That Ends Bear Grylls Career-LOL

    Well w/ all the controversy surrounding bear grylls lately i thought that me and my friend should take action and make a survival show also...w/ bear grylls possible contract termination, who knows...you might be seeing this on Discovery soon...lol

    (All footage was taken from a recent hike basically to just document the hike but then we saw how fun it was to poke fun at Bear so this is the result..DO NOT take advice to heart or you will probably hurt yourself...watch at your own risk...ENJOY!!! I also want to make clear this is a joke and not bashing Bear Grylls,im not into that....nevertheless laugh it up)
