Bear's programs are designed to entertain idiots

think he is capitalising on the trend of this extreeme sport/naturist thing going on.he has some balls with some of his things he dose.

Bear has done some pretty useful free climbing and he's not bad with his folding saw !

[Lorry thompson]

Aye it was awesome mate think I had the happiest lurcher in the world:thumbup: I remember the first time we went my dad waded across a rough river just down from high force the tallest waterfall in the country, he set up a rope for me to hold onto while I crossed even though there was a bridge just a bit further down:sneaky2: obviously being my dad I thought he was the coolest man in the world

Bear grylls book 'facing up' is a good read. Let's not forget that he was the youngest Brit to summit Everest a while back. And that was shortly after breaking his back whilst in the army. He has my respect!

Ray Mears has forgotten more about living off the land than most of us will ever know. And he can shoot Bears Grylls is a tool for more reasons I care to divulge, but here's one for you 'Mors Kochanski' now there was a bushman. His books are amazing, he has been there do it, invented stuff to make it do-able, and got the t-shirt. Living legend

 

 

What have I do?

I have lived off the land in my own way ,some years ago,I eat what I could forage & kill,But did earn money of sorts,I had a horse & 4 wheel trolley,bow saw & axe & a few sheets of canvas with old carpet for a 'fly sheet',ended up roofing the cart with ash hoops for a home,& made another cart to go out on the road to earn a bit running scrap,hauling logs out the wood for firewood,all manner of things to turn a shilling,boot fairs included.

Was a good life in many ways in this country,so not realy survival stuff,more a way of living,had about 4 years at it!

I'm more a fan of Ray Mears than Bear, reason being you get the impression off Ray that he does actually give a monkeys about what he does and is passing important knowledge on so it doesn't get lost with modern life. With Bear a lot of what he does is postulating for the camera, case in point being this clip :

Soon as I saw this I lost all my respect for him, as his shows are very misleading.
