Bear Grylls' Advice From Man Vs Wild Helped Save My Life!

Bear Grylls would survive longer by himself than all of you weenies combined in the wilderness. Then after you die, he would eat your eyeballs for hydration, turn your bladder into a thermos and use your bones to hunt wildlife.
All of this would take place in yellow stone national park.

LOL....LOL!
Bear's not an idiot, do you not realize that this is marketing? He does things that most people shouldn't, wouldn't or couldn't do. But I'm pretty sure he could get his way out of a real life situation.
In addition to the SAS, he has also climbed Everest and flown over it in a paraglider thing.
The thing about man vs. wild is that Bear gets dropped some where and actually has to travel and find people to rescue him. This is why hes run and jumping in rivers and shit, he is trying to move as fast as possible while he still has some food in him.
You mean hes doing things that people wouldn't know to do. If I was starving and traveling miles a day to get rescued I would bite the head off of anything that moved. Id drink my own piss and eat bugs to live if need be. Sure Bear has an "out" with his crew but he is also doing most of this stuff for our sake. The point is to teach us that we can just bite the head off of a frog and be fine, or that you wont die from drinking your own piss.
Now the guy from Surivorman... he is a douche. Sure he has no camera crew but he never leaves from his one spot. He just sets up camp and starts hunting/fishing and shit. He would spend the rest of his life there if no one knew where he was. That fucker is just camping.

Nothing against Bear, I believe ha knows what he is doing. What I mean is Bear does things for the drama (marketting to get more viewers) that are outright foolish, like swimming across frozen rivers in the winter, climbing up and down waterfalls (making it look like is is free climbing when he is on a rope, jumping 30 feet into unknown water, drinking un-purified water etc. He has on several occasions gotten very sick from some of the things he has done. Getting explosive mudd butt for an extended period could kill you. You could dehydrate and lose the energy to continue.
Completely false. He sets up realistic situations, that average people might encounter and shows you how to survive it. In most cases the best thing to do is to stay where you are. It's much easier to find a sitting target than a moving target. He did a show about the couple with the baby that got stranded out west and showed how they could have done much better, a real situation. Bear knows all along where he is getting dropped and where he is going. I think if you dropped both of them into a remote location, on their own, Les would do as well as Bear.
Do you think Aaron Ralston is a smart resourceful guy or an idiot? He's not lucky to be alive, he's stupid for having to cut his own arm off.
You shouldn't ever get in one of these situations unless you survive a plane crash in a remote location or something equally as unlikely. Also realize that both of these guys get advice from survival experts and locals about the areas they are going to be in.
Yea cuz we know most of the scenes are setup, on Survivorman he wouldn't risk bringing a goofball who couldn't take care of himself.
Like in the Hawaii episode posted above? He must have been at least 1/4 mile from that road full of tourists. Good thing he was able to make it all the way over there to get rescued.
I like Bear Grylls. So what if he has a camera crew following him around? So what if he gets emergency medical help if/when he needs it? It says right at the beginning of the show. The key word being "show" here - it's entertainment. He might be overly dramatic at times, but it's television. What do you expect? All in all, I enjoy it and I hope he continues to make more episodes.
Bear is legit. He may fluff some things alot. But its for the entertainment factor. And to capture more of the audience. Its show biz. Many of his techniques are legit.
Of course the hawaii clip was faked. He was showing how to trek across the terrain. But the true fact is what he did was crazy. He showed it as an option. Being a 1/4 mile from people is probably a safe bet. Those lava flows change all the time. Tourist always try and do that and end up swimiming in lava. I still laugh when he does unrealistic shit. When he drank water from elephant dung, he got my respect.lol.
Survivor Man is sweet too. Both shows are great.

I still think that bear doesn't wait to be rescued because of military training. If he was a crashed pilot he would have to move as fast as possible to a area that would allow for rescue. This explains the river crossings and the rock climbing. His training was totally different than surivorman's.
and so what if he is filming somewhere that people are near by? The fact that he is eatings bugs and elephant shit should show you that hes not exactly walking over and asking for a cheeseburger. His advice on terrain crossing is just as valid as if he was in the middle of no where.
