Are you Bear Grylls ?

[melvyn]

The trend of survival appeals to a lot of men,away from it all,testing yourself against nature,but how many of you have walked the walk and jumped in ,tell us about your experiences or did you wish you was back home in your nice comfy bed?

A mate of mine did a pee take video of ray mears vs bear G . I will see if I can get it on as its well funny

[melvyn]

The comparison of ray mears and Bear Grylls is quite funny to.Both are exploiting the public's yearning for this 'back to nature' thing.Don't get me wrong I like them and respect them but is it for real ? Les Stroud is good too ,but is this all in the name of entertainment ? How about Guy Grieve ( call of the wild ) who actually spent a year out in Canada surviving and nearly dieing

I prefer watching Bruce Parry's stuff. He is obviously a solid bloke but doesn't tend to brag about it - instead he focuses on the tribes he is visiting.

 

I haven't done any proper solo wilderness stuff - I am not sure I am made of the right stuff. I love camping and travelling to remote areas but need company!

I think it's good to test yourself in these circumstances,we learn a lot about ourselves,Some people really freak out.I think If you can overcome isolation in survival you really empower yourself

Me and my dad used to camp on the pennine way for a week or so and take the lurcher to catch rabbits and eat them. That's about as far as we went was good crack

[armchairarborist]

not really survival stuff but i like to eat yew berries, lime leaves, hawthorn leaves, chickweed, fungi and loads of other stuff as i find them and the seasons are right, i'd like to think i could survive for a bit if i had to,
