Stroud has earned my respect.

Who would have thought these guys would have earned over 400 posts?

Kind of fun to read through it when you're day dreaming and taking nothing serious.

anyone know when the new season (3) of Survivorman is airing?

**BIG TONE** · 05-29-2008, 02:23 PM

les gets my vote for sure not as exciting but more realistic

Man Vs. Wild is a better show IMO. Not as a Survival show in anyway, but Some of what he says is very helpful. The things he does I am not so sure about. This one is for entertainment, anyway. Survivorman is much more realistic and gives more tips. Though, I do find some of the stuff he does really stupid. (Not stupid like Bear, just stupid - like when he wastes his only food as bait)

Bear Gryllis? Entertaining? Stop it! You're killing me.

The thing that bothers me most about M v. W isn't the fact that he stays in hotels instead of the wilderness, it isn't that he ties up wild animals and then pretends to stalk and kill them, it isn't the fact that when shooting a rapids using inflated pants for floatation but really is wearing a life vest under his shirt......what really bothers me is that alot of what he does is dangerous and stupid, and for the novice that watches the show and says -- "Wow, cool, I think I'll try that".....somebody is gonna die.

ok these guys would bo alot better by their viewers (especially the ones who think there's more than about 10% useful info in any given show) if they would at least start out by telling what you should take if you even think there might a chance that your little day hike could quickly turn into a survival situation. common sense ain't so common anymore. and i did see one episode where stroud built his shelter about 5 yards from the edge of a roaring river and it had been raining non-stop since he arrived at the location. that's just asking to get caught in a flash-flood. and lo and behold when he woke up the next morning the river was alot closer than when he went to sleep. i think anyone who has any possiblity of being caught in a survival situation owes to themselves to be as prepared as possible. prior planning prevents piss poor performance as my drill seargent once told me. just my two bits.

Bear Grills is more daring but not always in a good way. He just shows you how to get out of bad situations. I think survivorman is better.

You seem pretty wise for your years Snakeman. Just remember that a lot of what Bear is doing could put you in danger rather than get you out of it.
