@abskwl how about you shut up about bear grylls because he might have been sleeping there because he got hurt during trying to make a show or he could have been on a vacation or he could have just been there NOT doing a show. also some kid got lost in the wild ,some day i dont know when ,but he surrived because he watched bear grylls and he did what he needed to that bear grylls said in the show and he got rescued.
Mears is cool and educational, but I like Les Stroud more because what he does is more practical. He's not super muscular or ex-military or anything; HE'S A MUSICIAN! Aside from his simple knowledge, you can do anything he can.
Ive always liked Mears more than any of these so cold survival experts. Mears doesn't just survive for 2 days putting on a dramatic show about it. He shows us how you could actually live in different parts of the world. Living meaning, a whole life, building a culture around it. He is educational, not being all like "If I dont find water using this technique I will die in 6 hours" and shit like that. That's not living. Thats putting urself in a shitty spot for no reason.
for anyone who thinks bear grylls is a 'fake' or 'phonie'... he has more then just him self he has to drag through the jungles and what not, camera crew and sound guys, the rope expert that has to rig up all the lines for said camera and sound guys... like bball2908 said.. it can take a long time to film just one episode... its a TV SHOW! lol its obviously not real... nor is it fake, its educational, and this... Mear guy is a joke
@JasAndNae u no nothing if u think ray mears is a joke him and dave canterbury are the best survival teacher on the web so dont call him a joke if u know nothing about survival
man vs wild is FAKE!! video footage all over the net, bear grylls is the most stupidist "survivalist" who always happens to "find" just what he needs for the so called unexpected?? WTF!!
I love how he has all of these convenient tools in his bag. In all reality if you ended up unexpectedly stranded somewhere I doubt you'd just happen to have a machete in your bag.
@decapitatedchipmunk its so much more comercial. this guy is for people who go on expeditions trips prepared with friggin hot water bottles and everything LOL! bear is the man, he fixes together a shelter in no time and doesnt spend ages knotting all the little stems together and making sure they look pretty lol!
Id like to see this fat boy mear eat a goat testicle or even an eyeball! He would shit his pants if he came near to a turtle let alone diving ontop of a tiger shark like grylls LOL!!
@Noelcrackcocaine both you fuck heads dont know shit, bear grylls does it for ratings and money. Ray Mears does it because he loves it, watch more of his series theyre awesome.
@justyoustupid First of all, I dont think bear would be doing half the things he does if he didnt love doing it. Second, youre boring. You actually genuinely believe what you are talking about is true. lol. Third, Ray Mears is fat lol. Fourth, I would rather get taught by a disabled child than by Ray Mears. He is fat and plods along through the forest with all his equipment at hand. Its simple... would you rather be taught by a trainer who looks worse in shape than you do?
@justyoustupid Obviously you dont mind being taught by such a trainer. And if you actually look at my comment you ray mears bum chum then you would see that I said Ray Mears isnt for extreme survival whereas Bear Grylls is. If you think they are trying to teach you the same thing then your brain hasnt developed properly yet. Sorry to bring you the bad news, but thats life :)
@justyoustupid Ok, do I have to make this rediculously clear to you. Seriously if you dont get it by now then theres something wrong with you. He goes into the jungle with all the necesary equipment. he might say "well im not a day hike anymore... blah blah blah" but he is making a tv show and right after it he will go and sleep safe and nice in a warm bed for that night. Bear Grylls shows you the reality of a survival situation. He goes in with a knife+bottle+flint and sleeps right there.
@Noelcrackcocaine If Grylls is 'God' and Mears is a phoney, then how come GRYLLS was the one caught sleeping in hotels, not Mears? It's on the Sunday Times website, 24th and 22nd of July 2007, and loads of other websites.
Ray is tubby because he can LIVE (not just survive) in the wild and cook 3 course meals. He plods as he doesn't have to worry about time limits, he could live there if he wanted to. Grylls would be dead if he had to survive anywhere for two weeks and no hotel...
@abskwl neither of them are phonies...bear served in the SAS and climbed Mt. everest at the age of 23 which is an incredible feat and he can definitely survive anywhere it's just that he doesn't have to...one episode of his show can take 1-2 weeks to film so you think he is going to spend every single night in a shelter he built? Obviously not so of course he has to stay somewhere and ray is probably tubby because he doesnt stay in shape like bear does not cause he can LIVE in the wild
@abskwl Im not saying 1 is better then the other but BG has huge survival knowledge and skills though.
He is chief scout UK , in army he served for 3 years as "Specialist Combat Survival Instructor and Patrol Medic[1] at SAS, and the thing you talk about 3 course meals, Bear just shows us all what you can eat when there is nothing else and still survive on that, he is a presenter, to highlight his role in presenting survival techniques to the viewer.
@BRFC4LYF1 I reckon I could last at least three days, I'm not going to pretend to be a wilderness expert, but I learnt to build shelters et al as a kid, so it would be a limit of finding edible food. I can skin animals as my dad taught me when he caught rabbits on his farm, so I'm not hopeless.
@abskwl No he wouldnt die.. it wouldnt be as easy for grylls to live in the wild but he could do it if he had to he knows what to do and when so what if he takes a brake FROM A SHOW all you haters are the same *wrestling is fake* Why dont all you haters fuck off a enjoy the shows tips and tricks....?
@richard2mitchell and what would he do about that broken leg on the 2nd day from running through the forest when he only needed to walk and enjoy? Tips and tricks? What tips and tricks? "Best way to do this is the highest risk and most entertaining way possible!!!"
@justyoustupid Look how relaxed he is in making his shelter, not a worry in the world, and then compare this to grylls not having a meal for the day because he couldnt catch anything. Seriously mate, youre making it hard for me to make it any simpler. If you dont get it by now, then theres something wrong with you. No offense but Ive made it so clear a three year old can even understand the difference
you shouldnt pull liana's like that, if the branch of the tree is dead you run the risk of breaking it and killing yourself if it falls on you. I live in Costa Rica, and have heard of many people who have died doing that.
@cona192 Bear wouldn't survive as well as it looks like in the show. It's for entertainement. The best survivalists are the natives of each region. Do you see aboriginals drinking their pee, jumping off cliffs into water and other dangerous things like that? I don't think so.
This guy takes advice from natives and tries to copy them. If you tried to copy Bear, you'd probably end up with a broken leg and die. Not everyone has millitary training and the physical condition to do what he does.
@1987kids after much research about his bio, you are right. i made that comment without doing much of a background check...however i have seen all his episodes and i'm more of a semi-fan, i watch for entertainment and his fitness. however what survival environment field does Bear specialize in? i know he {bear} general in all round survival due to the SAS.
e.g.mykel hawke is more jungle, cody lundin is Desert.
@Survivorguy74800 Actually, being fat is a big help towards surviving in the wilderness: the thin guys (like me) will always cop it before the ones with good body reserves. If you don´t believe me, consider the inhabitants of most Pacific islands: most of them have a tendency to accumulate body fat, and it is because they are descendents of survivors of very long sea voyages, where food typically was scarce or had run out.
@tristramshorter Well... for me the ideal body is whan you are around 80-90 kilogram, and you have good muscles. Than you are strong and real man. Im not like this but im working on it. Im just 75 kilogram.
well why the hell would you go in the amazon with just a little knife. If you were smart you wud bring a backpack or two full stuff you can surive on just in case
If the roof is supposed to keep you dry from rain, they should mention that you should build it facing the wind direction. (Find it by licking your finger)
@benx2k7rs i am so with you on that one. i owe everything i know about bushcraft to him. sure, there are two others i admire as well, but not as much as i do ray.
It's not strange being without a machete unless you really know you have to carry one: if you are foreigner on a trip, you can't take it on the plane (or train) and likely don't own one, so you'd buy it on site, but at last, because bulky sharp and heavy with the luggage. Besides, if you are with a group or a guide or there for work, it's a load you hope not to need, thus you may overlook or leave it somewhere you think you are going back to (before being lost). Show me what... without machete
Ok but mostly for long term and...planned survival. I mean, planning once there is a must, but not necessarily one goes there to...train that or thinks ahead enough before being in the situation. He might go there with no machete, following some trip, maybe the guide had machete but he doesn't, didn't need one before. He might be lost from accident or breakdown (plane, train, car), robbed, abandoned on a visit for work-tourism, taken a wrong turning from bad map reading, parachuted in wrong area
They always have a large knife or Machete because if you venture into the outdoors without one is to gamble with ones survival.. If your going to rely on stone and bone tools than you'll be more than lucky to make it out alive... If your going with just a pocket knife then at least make it a Leatherman tool that has a wood saw so you can at least process 1"-2" wood.. Those who advocate the Mora as the penultimate survival knife are downright dangerous to those who follow their advice..
You know, a friend of mine was stuck in a rainforest somewhere after a boatcrash, and he was stranded with me, and i set us up with a bet. (By the way the other guy is aneorexic, or however u spell it). I bet that if he can survive longest without food, he can get the pink slips to my car, but if I survive i get the pink slips to his car and his house.
And I'm here today, he died that day. But i always said to him, "Should eat more, son".
Both Ray and Bear Grylls are survival experts, whehter or not you call them fake
Bear Grylls used to be in the SAS, hence why's he's got the stomach to eat nearly any kind of shit he finds. He knows what he's talking about when it comes to survival, and I'm fairly sure Ray Mears did something similar in terms of Survival.... agreed about the Machete rain forest, you should always go prepared, but it would be interesting to see normal sharp objects made out of items you could find.
This show has helped me alot, i once had my plane shot down by terroist in the middle of the amazons. If it weren't for these shows i would not have been here today, i survived by eating bugs and rabbits. I drained water from elephant poop(no idea how it got there). I was nearly dead when I were saved. Thank you. This guy is kinda "big"
@CoolSebbe431 That is the biggest load of bullshit i have hever seen, you blatantly just made that up, there are no rabbits or elephants in the amazon and to my knowledge not many planes get shot down over the amazon either.
Your shit spelling also points to the fact that you are probably about 10.
you can't compare Ray Mears with Bear Grylls or the other way around. wile Bear teaches you how to survive for a few days with minimum resources, Ray shows you how to survive for longer periods, if you got some extra tools of course
I instantly became interested in survival by watching Survivorman and Man Vs. Wild!
I was hooked and then began researching this subject and bought the SAS Survival Guide by John "Lofty" Wiseman and watching countless amounts amateur videos here on youtube...
I have been researching this stuff on and off for a few months now and i've just now stumbled on Ray Mears today.....
I will be watching every single one of Ray's videos here on youtube and will be purchasing all of his DVDs!! A++++++
Man vs Wild is a bit of a bad show. It can be entertaining, but he's just a presenter, and does no actual survival in the wild.
Ray Mears does some survival while filming the shows, but Ray is also a bonafide expert on survival and bushcraft and NOT just a presenter like Bear.
Les Stroud, the guy from Survivorman is the only one who does all the filming alone, but Survivorman had it's last season a year or two ago because it was beating him up too much physically on every trip.
@hypnolobster I agree with most of what you said but not everything. I think Ray is also a presenter beside being a survival expert. Bear show is more entertainment. I wish Les didn't quit but health is more important.
i agree with you about les i really liked his show and i wish that they were still on tv because he seemed to be the realest because he did just about eveything by himself. another guy thats pretty good is myke hawke you should check him out as well.
your right about bear but im not sure about the actual survival part about it? because it sure looks like he does.but ive heard that he sleeps in hotel's.havnt found any truth to it yet tho. but i like all 3 of the show's because they can all teach you one thing or another about survival.
Survival programmes ike this; they're quite useful but when we're in a plane crash we wont have a machete, or any type of knife, or a backpack (well we might) or a fire making kit!!! Its sooo annoying! x lol ;)
Alyand, you're so silly. How do you know it will be a plane crash? If not, where's your knife and fire making kit? Your weird perspective on life is really what is annoying. Pay attention, and you might learn something useful, you little dimwit.
@AlyandAJxx Planes usually have a basic survival kit aboard and if by badluck you were unable to use it, you could always use scrapped metal from the wreck as a substitute to a knife.
@AlyandAJxx you are totally right just my thoughts too. When you are in a plane crash or similar situations you dont have all that necessaries to survive, so you just have to know what you can find in the nature, none of the survivor programme is showing that. And some common things you normal use, you dont have in the jungle in a survivor situation so you need to have a good fantasy. What would you do if you suddenly have diarrhoea or some banality like that. What would you do without a knife?
you can use the yarn, a bow shaped stick softwood drill and hardwood notch, and there's your firelighting kit :D you can also use cigarette filters and fire + stones to make a very sharp fibreglass knife, even still, plane crash wreckage could be used as a blade
Why do these survival guys always have a big survival knife or thick machete? Most people who find themselves in this type of situation will be lucky to have a 3inch folder in their pocket.
They should do some episodes on how to make good cutting tools out of bone, rock and other natural materials. Because without the ability to cut most of what they teach is worthless.
True, anyone that enters a "wilderness" enviorment without takeing basic supplies (knife,rope,cell phone,ect) deserves what they get. But a plane crash or shipwreak could drop you into a place like this with nothing but the clothes on your back.
@weatherlight52 I agree. knife or machete are still modern tools. they should teach people to survive with home made stone tools or rocks. make it more challenging.
@weatherlight52 One of the bigest reasons for haveing a big survival knife or thick machete is to chop wood. The do the same work as a ax but are lighter and easyer to pack. If your out in the woods with just a 3 inch folder then your in some trouble as far as the kind of work you can do with it. But that being said you can still do a lot with a pocket knife.
@weatherlight52 i get your point but in reality no one should be wandering about the woods without at least the most basic necessary tools. if you get lost in the woods without at least a pocket knife then your probably not smart enough to stay alive with a bone or a rock
@xxdreamsxx100 lol true... but if you find yourself alive after a plane crash i don't think you need to worry... looks like you've got the while "survival" thing down
@weatherlight52, well there not demonstrating getting lost in the woods behind your house, these are notoriously rugged and dangerous places, id say his logic is that no human in their right mind would go into the jungle without the machete, whether they plan on getting lost or not when would you ever be in the jungle without knowing you'd be going there i.e. you'd have the machete
@weatherlight52 If you suddenly find yourself in a situation walking around in the jungle trying to survive my guess is you have been on a hike on your own hand in the jungle without tools (the fool action). If you wanna visit the jungle at all you must be prepared and the prepartion would involve a big knife and maybe gun too. If you should come in a similar situation without any kind of tools i guess your plane has had a crash landing down the jungle.
@weatherlight52 dumbass, do you know how difficult it is to make a knife out of flint? you can't find usable flint anywhere, there are specific deposits that you would have to find first. you might as well tell people to look for iron ore and smelt it down. no, there are essential tools that you must bring with you, without which you will surely die. if you go out in the wild without a good, big knife, the most basic of all tools, you deserve to die.
So! We get a machete on the plane - and as flintstone9812 states that is impossible - and wear a hair net? Then survival is a matter of just avoiding pit-vipers? Easy! Put a lump of steel a hammer and anvil in your essentials. That way you can make a machete when you crash.
For protein pack beef jerky or, what ever that dried salted raw meat is called. You can get at least 2kg in your bag in a small space, then you can eat for 2wks at least. Don't forget teabags and a pot to boil stuff in.
well if you know whear you are and how far a city is or you know close i would try to find it dont over do it if it under 100miel try finding the place over 100 id stay and gather some things then try to find it and set up a serries of camps
The knowledge of shelter building and acquisition of food is absolutely necessary to survival. It could happen to you as the result of a plane crash or vehicle breakdown.
And god only knows where you will be.
Sad that now you can't carry a good survival knife with you on a plane. Just hope the hell you can get to your checked luggage and find one.
I'd like to see Ray in a city survival series; foraging for food in the bins behind Macdonalds and building a shelter out of newspapers and plastic bags.
Even better Alimantado91, would be if the homeless people learnt Ray's skills and buggered off into the wild, instead of sitting on the streets sniffing glue and abusing passers-by!
Screw Ray Mears. Bear Grylls ftw.

you shouldnt pull liana's like that, if the branch of the tree is dead you run the risk of breaking it and killing yourself if it falls on you. I live in Costa Rica, and have heard of many people who have died doing that.

cona192 1 year ago
@cona192 Bear wouldn't survive as well as it looks like in the show. It's for entertainement. The best survivalists are the natives of each region. Do you see aboriginals drinking their pee, jumping off cliffs into water and other dangerous things like that? I don't think so.
This guy takes advice from natives and tries to copy them. If you tried to copy Bear, you'd probably end up with a broken leg and die. Not everyone has millitary training and the physical condition to do what he does.

@1987kids after much research about his bio, you are right. i made that comment without doing much of a background check...however i have seen all his episodes and i'm more of a semi-fan, i watch for entertainment and his fitness. however what survival environment field does Bear specialize in? i know he {bear} general in all round survival due to the SAS.
e.g.mykel hawke is more jungle, cody lundin is Desert.

xxdreamsxx100 1 year ago
@Survivorguy74800 Actually, being fat is a big help towards surviving in the wilderness: the thin guys (like me) will always cop it before the ones with good body reserves. If you don´t believe me, consider the inhabitants of most Pacific islands: most of them have a tendency to accumulate body fat, and it is because they are descendents of survivors of very long sea voyages, where food typically was scarce or had run out.

It's not strange being without a machete unless you really know you have to carry one: if you are foreigner on a trip, you can't take it on the plane (or train) and likely don't own one, so you'd buy it on site, but at last, because bulky sharp and heavy with the luggage. Besides, if you are with a group or a guide or there for work, it's a load you hope not to need, thus you may overlook or leave it somewhere you think you are going back to (before being lost). Show me what... without machete
giammira 1 year ago
Ok but mostly for long term and...planned survival. I mean, planning once there is a must, but not necessarily one goes there to...train that or thinks ahead enough before being in the situation. He might go there with no machete, following some trip, maybe the guide had machete but he doesn't, didn't need one before. He might be lost from accident or breakdown (plane, train, car), robbed, abandoned on a visit for work-tourism, taken a wrong turning from bad map reading, parachuted in wrong area

Avrelsg 1 year ago
They always have a large knife or Machete because if you venture into the outdoors without one is to gamble with ones survival.. If your going to rely on stone and bone tools than you'll be more than lucky to make it out alive... If your going with just a pocket knife then at least make it a Leatherman tool that has a wood saw so you can at least process 1"-2" wood.. Those who advocate the Mora as the penultimate survival knife are downright dangerous to those who follow their advice..

You know, a friend of mine was stuck in a rainforest somewhere after a boatcrash, and he was stranded with me, and i set us up with a bet. (By the way the other guy is aneorexic, or however u spell it). I bet that if he can survive longest without food, he can get the pink slips to my car, but if I survive i get the pink slips to his car and his house.
And I'm here today, he died that day. But i always said to him, "Should eat more, son".
Jumpmike22 1 year ago
Both Ray and Bear Grylls are survival experts, whehter or not you call them fake
Bear Grylls used to be in the SAS, hence why's he's got the stomach to eat nearly any kind of shit he finds. He knows what he's talking about when it comes to survival, and I'm fairly sure Ray Mears did something similar in terms of Survival.... agreed about the Machete rain forest, you should always go prepared, but it would be interesting to see normal sharp objects made out of items you could find.

I instantly became interested in survival by watching Survivorman and Man Vs. Wild!
I was hooked and then began researching this subject and bought the SAS Survival Guide by John "Lofty" Wiseman and watching countless amounts amateur videos here on youtube...

Man vs Wild is a bit of a bad show. It can be entertaining, but he's just a presenter, and does no actual survival in the wild.
Ray Mears does some survival while filming the shows, but Ray is also a bonafide expert on survival and bushcraft and NOT just a presenter like Bear.
Les Stroud, the guy from Survivorman is the only one who does all the filming alone, but Survivorman had it's last season a year or two ago because it was beating him up too much physically on every trip.

@AlyandAJxx Planes usually have a basic survival kit aboard and if by badluck you were unable to use it, you could always use scrapped metal from the wreck as a substitute to a knife.
YouGotFranked 2 years ago
@AlyandAJxx you are totally right just my thoughts too. When you are in a plane crash or similar situations you dont have all that necessaries to survive, so you just have to know what you can find in the nature, none of the survivor programme is showing that. And some common things you normal use, you dont have in the jungle in a survivor situation so you need to have a good fantasy. What would you do if you suddenly have diarrhoea or some banality like that. What would you do without a knife?
globe255 2 years ago
you can use the yarn, a bow shaped stick softwood drill and hardwood notch, and there's your firelighting kit :D you can also use cigarette filters and fire + stones to make a very sharp fibreglass knife, even still, plane crash wreckage could be used as a blade

Why do these survival guys always have a big survival knife or thick machete? Most people who find themselves in this type of situation will be lucky to have a 3inch folder in their pocket.
They should do some episodes on how to make good cutting tools out of bone, rock and other natural materials. Because without the ability to cut most of what they teach is worthless.

@weatherlight52 One of the bigest reasons for haveing a big survival knife or thick machete is to chop wood. The do the same work as a ax but are lighter and easyer to pack. If your out in the woods with just a 3 inch folder then your in some trouble as far as the kind of work you can do with it. But that being said you can still do a lot with a pocket knife.

@weatherlight52, well there not demonstrating getting lost in the woods behind your house, these are notoriously rugged and dangerous places, id say his logic is that no human in their right mind would go into the jungle without the machete, whether they plan on getting lost or not when would you ever be in the jungle without knowing you'd be going there i.e. you'd have the machete

@weatherlight52 If you suddenly find yourself in a situation walking around in the jungle trying to survive my guess is you have been on a hike on your own hand in the jungle without tools (the fool action). If you wanna visit the jungle at all you must be prepared and the prepartion would involve a big knife and maybe gun too. If you should come in a similar situation without any kind of tools i guess your plane has had a crash landing down the jungle.
globe255 1 year ago
@weatherlight52 dumbass, do you know how difficult it is to make a knife out of flint? you can't find usable flint anywhere, there are specific deposits that you would have to find first. you might as well tell people to look for iron ore and smelt it down. no, there are essential tools that you must bring with you, without which you will surely die. if you go out in the wild without a good, big knife, the most basic of all tools, you deserve to die.

So! We get a machete on the plane - and as flintstone9812 states that is impossible - and wear a hair net? Then survival is a matter of just avoiding pit-vipers? Easy! Put a lump of steel a hammer and anvil in your essentials. That way you can make a machete when you crash.
For protein pack beef jerky or, what ever that dried salted raw meat is called. You can get at least 2kg in your bag in a small space, then you can eat for 2wks at least. Don't forget teabags and a pot to boil stuff in.

The knowledge of shelter building and acquisition of food is absolutely necessary to survival. It could happen to you as the result of a plane crash or vehicle breakdown.
And god only knows where you will be.
