Les is great, Ray is great. Bear was in the SAS. Please feel free to look that up, and find out what it takes. Those guys are some serious survival military tactic experts. Surviving in the wild is just one thing Bear shows you. He is one hardcore sob. People who call him fake, is just cause of his show. Imagine if they showed "ALL" of his skills.
and theres so many reasons not to get liquid out of shit. which he did not do, if you look closely its a sponge. and if you want to say thats not true, read what it says at the beginning of the show. You could get a fatal disease if you were drinking shit water in a hospital. But you could note how long the shits been there, and follow the tracks. elephants go to watering holes. the very name of the show, Man vs. Wild. You don't fight the wild? The whole show's just idiotic
@Aurality almost every channel is just a sellout. they put on whatever gets veiws, which happens to be complete bullshit like Man vs. Wild. I dont have anything against Bear. He was British special forces, he's not faking that he could actually do all that stuff, but it is not the right thing to do in a survival situation. Drinking your own urin, sucking water out of elephant crap? Urin is toxic, but there's about a dozen way to use your urin to get clean water.
the point of the series. it's to show how a person could survive in in a disaster-like scenario. how to find the basics: water, food, shelter. it was never about him living on his own in the wilderness with a camera crew like a fucking reality survival show. its entertainment that has the potential to help you learn life-saving techniques.
These guides are ill prepared, to old to use modern advice, take the proper amount of water, rope and first aide kit, after all they are looking after young hikers, and yes I go to the grand canyon alot
Bear Grylls "survival" techniques consist largely of entertaining forms of suicide. Sliding down scree rock for no reason? Sliding like an idiot down a slope that presents avalance danger? Jumping into a river in the yukon with no way to warm himself up? Without even a *stick*? (he does fall, which he deserves, but then becomes magically dry) Lowering himself into a crevasse even though he is supposed to have NO IDEA whether he can get out again? (Faked) walking across lava flows?
Bear is my hero. The bigger the scorpion, the less poisonous. The smaller the scorpion the tastier it is raw. Or rather less disgusting. Bear Grylls is really good at what he does.
who cares if its fake or not, and who cares who is better bear or les, their fucking tv shows!!! besides if you want real survival techniques and bushcraft skills watch ray mears instead
@walnutpearl why should we not care if it's fake? He has an obligation to produce a show that is about survival...and it's not about survival at all...it's about pure entertainment yet he doesn't advertize it as that. If you asked Bear himself, he'd probably want us to care.
lol and dont forget to drink your piss! Only 8% of it is made of lethal toxins!
This video doesnt really prove anything... Bear didnt advise you to eat a scorpion... and anyway his shows are about money.... he wants money and to help people but he cares for money more... eg..Trail crunch cereal lol
Bear grylls advice should not be used in a real life-or death situation. From time to time, i take survival excursions in the sonoran desert, in extreme southern arizona. Bear grylls' advice WILL get you killed in a life-or-death situation. But of course, this is meant for the average feed-chewing american sheep. Stupid-ass sheep.
If he were in arizona, he could be surrounded by mesquite trees, cacti, and all sorts of edibles, but then he's gonna tell us to eat gross shit like puma semen
Is this disproving Bear Grylls or something, cause I don't really see what he had to do with this besides the scorpion, that they (the hikers) did nothing but flick off and look at.
In Man vs Wild the scenes there is fake but what they are doing will help you to survive and it's optional if you want to eat some bugs or drink some pee those advise is just for last resort to survive
yup and i totally agree with that but what people dont seem to think of is the fact that he is only teaching things that can help you, its not a challenge for him to see how he can survive its to help YOU survive if ever your wandering about and get lost.
thats stupid! just because bear grills is not a wimp like some scouts dosent mean it could kill you. and anyway those scouts said "do you THINK it can kill you" they didn't evan know, bear grylls did.
The problem they had on I Shouldn't be Alive is the lack of water. In the desert like that, as you can see on the show, it can kill you in just a couple days. Eating any kind of food requires your body to use MORE water. It takes weeks for you to starve. They would be better off not eating the scorpion.
dude, he has 20 people with him, and half the places he goes to are right by civilization. Seriously, its fake. The advice is real, but les has waaaaaay more experience then him.
wtf why does everyone say hes a fake ?? what the point cant u just let the people who like his show just enjoy it and when lookin over stuff on youtube reading comments or something why do u have to say hes a fake who give a shit he might just be a frod or it could be realy and i dont no why people waisted tht freakin time making videos say he sucks fuck hime and shit like that i think who ever trys to make an other person think diffrently about somethin they realy like should just shut up !!!!!
Actually, I think we SHOULD pretend there aren't multiple cameras and personnel when watching Man vs. Wild. It's called "suspension of disbelief". I watch TV for entertainment, and perhaps a bit of insight into someone's views on survival information. I agree it is sad, and I was really disappointed in Bear when i learned so much of it was faked, but it's still entertaining, and I can't help but like it. It's my "guilty pleasure" you might say. (continued below)
But at the same time, one really get survival advice off TV and assume they can use it without researching it and testing it first (though not to say there isn't some good advice to be had on these shows). generally any survival knowledge you have should be something you KNOW for a fact and have committed to memory, not something you get off a TV show. My point though is that it's still an entertaining show. I'm not trying to criticize your comment, I agree with it.
The problem is that Bear is far from "average" in physical skills, so people WOULD get killed doing exactly what he does. In one episode, he swims 1/2 mile across a lake to get to a road (he could just as easily have walked around). I can swim maybe 100 yds. before I gas out. Show of hands: how many can swim 1/2 mile, while hungry, thirsty, and overtired?
He were in the SAS, he knows what to do in these kind of places like Patagonia, Andes and Sahara. No one should not try any of his stunts unless they need to or in place of survival.
And thirdly, most importantly, those of you who do dis the show, altho right you may be, probably don't have the personal experience or ability to truly be any better. you can't do it, so shut up and don't complain. Learn first, and when your good enough to teach proper survival skills with a licensed ability feel free to speak as you wish but by that time, you'll probably realise the stupidity of your argume
sorry alot of my rant has been cut off but here is the last bit: secondly people who strictly believe that what is said is all true and use 100% of the advice from the show without thinking of anything else or applying common sence to their own survival situation should probably die anyways,
mainly stateing, that if you don't apply common sence like *wow jumping this cliff looks dangeriouse and I don't have the same physicaly ability nor the experience that bear has, nor do I have the medical assistance* and then jumping anyways because you didn't "think" about it... you should be dead, no questions asked. first lesson of a survival training course " if your not going to think about what you do, get out"
How can any man expect to make a high action high movement survival show filling an entire season of TV with only a couple of months in which to do it in? what happens if he does get hurt, how do you continue shooting? How do you get the insurace to do this? and most importantly how do you convince any sane camera man to acompany you throught the whole adventure?
then there comes the point of how Bear is a phony because he doesn't actually shoot in remote locations and he has help and this and that.... well of course he does, its TV.
Again another unfortunate point with all survival books and guides and shows is that you have to have experience and personal guidance through maney of the peliminary steps before you can move onto even attempting many of the larger challengesnt.
Well Bear shows and demonstrates survival in a military standard where the first priority is to get to a rescue point fast. second priority is safety. So this unfortunatly makes alot of his advice quirky at best but some of the time what he has to say is very true.
Im sure Bear Grylls gives some good advice its just his main thing that he seems moronic to ppl because of how he presents himself. As a hardcore survivor stuck out in the middle of nowhere & doing all this shit. But then he got investigated & proved that he stays at resorts at night & in trailers & shit so ppl hate on him. So its just his fault for misrepresenting what he's doing. In my mind Les Stroud is more Legit
As a hiker and survivalist myself, Bear Grylls does do some crazy shit, but in reality, if you're in a life or death situation in somewhere like the Sumatra Rain Forest, you're probably going to be dead before someone shows up to save you, so you need to take chances. Also, if you're somewhere like the Moab in Utah, you're likely an experiences climber anyway, so most the stuff he's teaching isn't that far-fetched for someone who would be legitimately stuck in the wilderness.
3 minutes in I already see major Flaws in their plan.
They only have enough water to go out, not all the way. So if someone is injured 2/3 of the way out, they can't simply backtrack. It's made worse by the return being up a steep incline.
2nd flaw is the assumption that a natural water supply will be good to drink, it could be dried up or contaminated.
What do you want to bet they don't have a radio or any other way of calling for help.
Looks like these kids are being led by the 3 stooges.
lol yeah those guys do look like they dont know what they are doing. how can ppl teach other ppl to do stuff they dont know how to do lol most ppl know to always bring some device to communicate with outside world
turns out the old folks knew a think or two when their plan went batshit, but the dumb kids acted like idiots and ignored their guide and wondered off like they were the experts.
The old folks may not have taken precautions but in the next part you'll see how they know not to panic and think with their head, not their thirst.
r u serious? bear's advice can get u killed? NO @#$%!!!! we all know that, but doing NOTHING in a survival situation is even worse thats like saying "you know, if you want food to stay alive, you're gonna have to kill that lion over there, but you MIGHT get killed"
You don't get it. When they say his advice "can get you killed", they mean that he advises people to do STUPID, UNNECESSARY THINGS.
Example - climbing down a waterfall, in Alaska, near sundown. Example - jumping 70 feet into unchecked water so that a bear won't follow your scent (proven false, water won't break the scent). Example - drinking undistilled, unboiled urine. Example - using massive amounts of energy reserves to get tiny scraps of food (less than you just burned getting it).
1) It contains toxins and (most importantly) salt - drinking urine while you're dehydrated will only dehydrate you more quickly. EVERY survival handbook worth reading knows this.
3) If you're dehydrated enough that you have to resort to drinking urine, it would be too concentrated to be worth drinking. If you aren't dehydrated enough, you have plenty of time to purify it.
Point being that there are smarter ways to survive.
Toxins that your body already has in it, which will be filtered out of your blood by your kidneys, just like it was the first time. Its a short term fix, very short term, but its a fix nonetheless. Bear says so, and cautions the viewers. It'll keep you alive just a bit longer.
If you're on the edge of dehydration, you wouldn't have any urine to drink, anyway. The amount of urine you'd get from it would probably extend your life by as much time as it would take you to stop, urinate, and drink.
You mean if you're on the edge of death by dehydration. This is a technique to use when you're still in fairly good condition, and you know you can get water within the next 24 hours or so. It keeps the fluids running through you so you can make it to real water.
If you're on the brink of dehydration, you won't have enough to help you survive. If you're not on the brink of dehydration, then you've got plenty of time to distill or filter the urine properly.
If you find yourself in a situation where drinking unfiltered urine is your best hope for survival, you aren't making good enough use of your resources.
the point is you're not supposed to drink urine if your already dehydrated, youre supposed to if you need to stay as hydrated as possible in the initial search for water, any survival book says that, as does bear
In which case the salt content will only serve to dehydrate you further, with the long-term results leaving you worse off than you would have been otherwise.
Meaning that if you wanted to survive for, say, a WEEK in the wilderness, drinking urine straight will only do you a disservice.
There's a difference between the dangerous and the reckless. Survival of any nature is risky, but much of what Bear Grylls does (glissading, climbing under glaciers, rappelling with parachute cord, drinking urine) is just plain stupid.
this is called a RE ENACTMENT. those guys ARE actors, acting out a true story. from what i noe the guy nicked a fuck load of money in 'catch me if u can' wasnt actualy leo de caprio was it?
bear just informs and shows you of what you actually have to do in a REAL survival situation. Weather you have to eat a scorpion or cool yourself with pea. You could just die..whatever floats your boat. Les Stroud is really good and though they both have really great advice, Bear brings reality into play. and even tho he has a camera crew..that just makes it that much better to see whats going on.
Dude, having his show on your video is giving him publicity.... and to be honest, theres no such thing as bad publicity. And if you hate him so much, your displaying it incorrectly. and his advice can get u killed, but maybe NOT doing it can get u killed too. you just gotta handle the situation the same way he did and u won't be killed, and that's why he shows it to us visually.
well ur an ignorant faggot. I put that in for to show that the scorpion's tail is poisonous cause in the episode, the boy asked if it was poisonous u fucking retard.
you should only do a thing like these people, if you're not scared of death. and nor bear or stroud are fake, anyone can do what they can, and you don't need any training. do you think homosapiens had training? anyone could do it, but not everyone will make it.
bear and stroud are both capable of doing it, and so is anyone else. stroud stays at 1 place for a week, humans can live without any food for more then 7 days. all he needs is water and shelter which is very easy to get. he isn't gonna go to a place with no water.
No screw you all who don't like Bear don't watch his show don't even waste your time writing hate messages. I really love Bear Grylls and I always will no matter what.
why r u guys even arguing over this. man vs wild is a dam show ok. 99 percent of the ppl watch it for pure entertainment. seriously, if u are actually stuck in one of those situations, u probably should noe much about surviving before hands. so who gives a shit if his advices are useful or not
yes but he has given good reasons for all of those things you fagget he is ex sas like to see you get off your fat fucking ass and go out side let alone survive in th bush
who makes this shit?? argh! fuck off and get a life. if you think bear grylls is fake, and get yourself in bad situation, just dont do what he does, and die.
Any day and any time I would follow Bear. But I would never trust an American...They know only McDonald and Pizza Hot....and les stroud is an idiot...
Bear is an ex special forces. he is trained in some of these things which might mean he doesnt realize that the average dumb fat american cant follow his methods.
so not only is it knowledge but i have tryed most of it for real, in alot of cases on location too. I you lot realy do not like him then dont watch his bloody videos.
all you retards think that bear is a fake well why dont you do some research first before critersiseing, he is a married man with a young son, so i dont blame him for not takeing risks, hes also ex SAS witch means that he realy does know a hell of alot to do with servival, more than you lot!!!
His not showing him surviving. His showing YOU how to survive in different enviroments. They even say what you siad before the program starts, that he has assistant from cameramen and shit and its edited.
its funny because you all bad mouth him, but i would love to see any of you climb mount everest in aid of charity, and before you all start bitching, the vid of him on everest was not the one i am refering to, the charity climb was not filmed, so please stop bad mouthing him, at the end of the day the basics of what he shows in his films Do work and i know this because i am a servivalist and have spent almost my hole life in the wilderness
WHO CARES if Bear Grylls actually does any of this stuff or if any of it works, although I sure think he does and it does. What matters is that the show is inspiring, and having hope while in a survival situation has a much greater chance of saving your life than doing nothing because you think "Bear Grylls is a fake." Go ahead, have that etched in your tombstone. Oh, and please - LEARN HOW TO SPELL.
Just think about how much Les Stroud whines and moans when he hurts himself compared to Bear. It's difficult to learn from someone who seems incompetent. For a "survivorman" he seems less mentally prepared than I'd like to be if I was trying to survive in the wild...
The thing I like better about Bear's show is that he makes it entertaining. I mean he fights fucking porcupines!!! Survivorman, all his show is "I'm cold...:(" "I should eat, I'm hungry." Who cares if Bear sleeps in hotels and stuff! He's still way more entertaining than Survivorman!!! And he is an ex European special forces guy or something..
i dont think grylls is fake but even if it is so what? the point of the show is not to see if someone can make it out alive, its to learn HOW to make it out alive. maybe he eats regular food, maybe he has a tent, but it doesnt matter cuz what hes teaching you is important
Great videos. Big fan of Bear's. But please correct your title. "Advices" isn't a word. the plural of 'advice" is "advice". It should read "Is Bear Grylls' advice actually useful?".
i think that les is more down to earth...and fun...he's always trying to find new ways to make fires and what not...if i was stranded somewhere i rather be with les...
Why compare 15 yr boy with a developed man. Both Bear and Les use some tips that are on the FM21-76 (free manual on the web), made to survive, period. That manual was done with years of experience and with a lot of scientific knowledge. Les and Bear are showing it for lazy people who doesnt want to read... like me... So lets face it. The boys didnt have the knowledge the water the equipment and the communication skills, doctors had radios, knowledge and equipment. So prepare yourself before...
bear teaches a type of survival thats taught in the military were you need to keep moving and which masivley depends on what your fitness leavel is to start with, were as over instructer teach you how to make a life for your self for a short period of time wich is not always posible in certain conditions
Staying where your at only works in the desert. Bear has more usefull information for sombody lost he shows you different ways to navigate every show. If you know where your at and where north is you will live. Keep moving is the best solution unless your moving into the woods.
Bear grylls is the best hes not fake les strut is cool two but never like bear why dont all of you dont get off your lazy asses and get a life like he does.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
bear grylls sucks cuz hes fake...some of his shit r useful but hes not a tru survivorman just cuz hes not along nd hes a phony.hes a great person really, but he stays at hotels. Les Stroud is the true survivor expert cuz we can actually be like him unlike grylls who went to special forces. Any one disagree tell me reasonalbly
Les is great, Ray is great. Bear was in the SAS. Please feel free to look that up, and find out what it takes. Those guys are some serious survival military tactic experts. Surviving in the wild is just one thing Bear shows you. He is one hardcore sob. People who call him fake, is just cause of his show. Imagine if they showed "ALL" of his skills.

from Britain, such as Kitchen Nightmares and lots' more. If you watch
the original British versions over here - They are just normal documentaries,
then the US version has full on movie voice narration, orchesteral

BEAR IS THE SHIT U GUYS R FUCKED UP I DONT care wat u dumbass ppl say >:O
joshuaray32 3 years ago
The problem is that Bear is far from "average" in physical skills, so people WOULD get killed doing exactly what he does. In one episode, he swims 1/2 mile across a lake to get to a road (he could just as easily have walked around). I can swim maybe 100 yds. before I gas out. Show of hands: how many can swim 1/2 mile, while hungry, thirsty, and overtired?

He were in the SAS, he knows what to do in these kind of places like Patagonia, Andes and Sahara. No one should not try any of his stunts unless they need to or in place of survival.

And thirdly, most importantly, those of you who do dis the show, altho right you may be, probably don't have the personal experience or ability to truly be any better. you can't do it, so shut up and don't complain. Learn first, and when your good enough to teach proper survival skills with a licensed ability feel free to speak as you wish but by that time, you'll probably realise the stupidity of your argume

Bear is great! peace
superford500 3 years ago
sorry alot of my rant has been cut off but here is the last bit: secondly people who strictly believe that what is said is all true and use 100% of the advice from the show without thinking of anything else or applying common sence to their own survival situation should probably die anyways,
phillippeak 3 years ago
mainly stateing, that if you don't apply common sence like *wow jumping this cliff looks dangeriouse and I don't have the same physicaly ability nor the experience that bear has, nor do I have the medical assistance* and then jumping anyways because you didn't "think" about it... you should be dead, no questions asked. first lesson of a survival training course " if your not going to think about what you do, get out"
phillippeak 3 years ago
How can any man expect to make a high action high movement survival show filling an entire season of TV with only a couple of months in which to do it in? what happens if he does get hurt, how do you continue shooting? How do you get the insurace to do this? and most importantly how do you convince any sane camera man to acompany you throught the whole adventure?
phillippeak 3 years ago
then there comes the point of how Bear is a phony because he doesn't actually shoot in remote locations and he has help and this and that.... well of course he does, its TV.
phillippeak 3 years ago
Again another unfortunate point with all survival books and guides and shows is that you have to have experience and personal guidance through maney of the peliminary steps before you can move onto even attempting many of the larger challengesnt.
phillippeak 3 years ago
Well Bear shows and demonstrates survival in a military standard where the first priority is to get to a rescue point fast. second priority is safety. So this unfortunatly makes alot of his advice quirky at best but some of the time what he has to say is very true.
phillippeak 3 years ago
Im sure Bear Grylls gives some good advice its just his main thing that he seems moronic to ppl because of how he presents himself. As a hardcore survivor stuck out in the middle of nowhere & doing all this shit. But then he got investigated & proved that he stays at resorts at night & in trailers & shit so ppl hate on him. So its just his fault for misrepresenting what he's doing. In my mind Les Stroud is more Legit
i1wingedangel 3 years ago
As a hiker and survivalist myself, Bear Grylls does do some crazy shit, but in reality, if you're in a life or death situation in somewhere like the Sumatra Rain Forest, you're probably going to be dead before someone shows up to save you, so you need to take chances. Also, if you're somewhere like the Moab in Utah, you're likely an experiences climber anyway, so most the stuff he's teaching isn't that far-fetched for someone who would be legitimately stuck in the wilderness.

3 minutes in I already see major Flaws in their plan.
They only have enough water to go out, not all the way. So if someone is injured 2/3 of the way out, they can't simply backtrack. It's made worse by the return being up a steep incline.
2nd flaw is the assumption that a natural water supply will be good to drink, it could be dried up or contaminated.
What do you want to bet they don't have a radio or any other way of calling for help.

endlessrskies 3 years ago
exactly, its bears job
pntballer310 3 years ago
You don't get it. When they say his advice "can get you killed", they mean that he advises people to do STUPID, UNNECESSARY THINGS.
Example - climbing down a waterfall, in Alaska, near sundown. Example - jumping 70 feet into unchecked water so that a bear won't follow your scent (proven false, water won't break the scent). Example - drinking undistilled, unboiled urine. Example - using massive amounts of energy reserves to get tiny scraps of food (less than you just burned getting it).
DantesDump 3 years ago
How is urine dangerous?
1lofoten 3 years ago
The majority of it is sterile fluid, but about 6% is really nasty toxins that your body is releasing.
DantesDump 3 years ago
1) It contains toxins and (most importantly) salt - drinking urine while you're dehydrated will only dehydrate you more quickly. EVERY survival handbook worth reading knows this.
3) If you're dehydrated enough that you have to resort to drinking urine, it would be too concentrated to be worth drinking. If you aren't dehydrated enough, you have plenty of time to purify it.
Point being that there are smarter ways to survive.
RobinHood3000 3 years ago
Toxins that your body already has in it, which will be filtered out of your blood by your kidneys, just like it was the first time. Its a short term fix, very short term, but its a fix nonetheless. Bear says so, and cautions the viewers. It'll keep you alive just a bit longer.
BakaYaru13 3 years ago
If you're on the edge of dehydration, you wouldn't have any urine to drink, anyway. The amount of urine you'd get from it would probably extend your life by as much time as it would take you to stop, urinate, and drink.
RobinHood3000 3 years ago
You mean if you're on the edge of death by dehydration. This is a technique to use when you're still in fairly good condition, and you know you can get water within the next 24 hours or so. It keeps the fluids running through you so you can make it to real water.
BakaYaru13 3 years ago
umm, if ya got no other source of hydration, drinking urine will help you survive an extra day or two.
glacier1978 3 years ago
If you're on the brink of dehydration, you won't have enough to help you survive. If you're not on the brink of dehydration, then you've got plenty of time to distill or filter the urine properly.
If you find yourself in a situation where drinking unfiltered urine is your best hope for survival, you aren't making good enough use of your resources.
RobinHood3000 3 years ago
the point is you're not supposed to drink urine if your already dehydrated, youre supposed to if you need to stay as hydrated as possible in the initial search for water, any survival book says that, as does bear
JmanAmerica 3 years ago
The only true thing to survival is know where your at and preparation.
woodtothechuck 3 years ago
In which case the salt content will only serve to dehydrate you further, with the long-term results leaving you worse off than you would have been otherwise.
Meaning that if you wanted to survive for, say, a WEEK in the wilderness, drinking urine straight will only do you a disservice.

Example - swimming beneath an obstacle that you can't see the end of. Drowning anyone?
Example - using parachute cord to abseil down a cliff with (not a good idea if you weigh more than 100 lbs).
Example - telling people to run from a bear(!) you NEVER try to outrun a bear. It will catch you, even of you placed first in the Olympic sprints.
Grylls is a tool who wasn't in the proper SAS - he was in the TA, which is like the UK National Guard.

There's a difference between the dangerous and the reckless. Survival of any nature is risky, but much of what Bear Grylls does (glissading, climbing under glaciers, rappelling with parachute cord, drinking urine) is just plain stupid.

bear just informs and shows you of what you actually have to do in a REAL survival situation. Weather you have to eat a scorpion or cool yourself with pea. You could just die..whatever floats your boat. Les Stroud is really good and though they both have really great advice, Bear brings reality into play. and even tho he has a camera crew..that just makes it that much better to see whats going on.
podcastfreak 3 years ago
Dude, having his show on your video is giving him publicity.... and to be honest, theres no such thing as bad publicity. And if you hate him so much, your displaying it incorrectly. and his advice can get u killed, but maybe NOT doing it can get u killed too. you just gotta handle the situation the same way he did and u won't be killed, and that's why he shows it to us visually.

WHO CARES if Bear Grylls actually does any of this stuff or if any of it works, although I sure think he does and it does. What matters is that the show is inspiring, and having hope while in a survival situation has a much greater chance of saving your life than doing nothing because you think "Bear Grylls is a fake." Go ahead, have that etched in your tombstone. Oh, and please - LEARN HOW TO SPELL.
basskat76 3 years ago
Just think about how much Les Stroud whines and moans when he hurts himself compared to Bear. It's difficult to learn from someone who seems incompetent. For a "survivorman" he seems less mentally prepared than I'd like to be if I was trying to survive in the wild...

The thing I like better about Bear's show is that he makes it entertaining. I mean he fights fucking porcupines!!! Survivorman, all his show is "I'm cold...:(" "I should eat, I'm hungry."

Why compare 15 yr boy with a developed man. Both Bear and Les use some tips that are on the FM21-76 (free manual on the web), made to survive, period. That manual was done with years of experience and with a lot of scientific knowledge. Les and Bear are showing it for lazy people who doesnt want to read... like me... So lets face it. The boys didnt have the knowledge the water the equipment and the communication skills, doctors had radios, knowledge and equipment. So prepare yourself before...
