lol...dude the man has his own survival knife. i saw it at dicks sporting goods when i was looking for camoping gear, the Bear Grylls Survival Knife....i would do the same if my act is up i gotta find other sources of income
yeah leave the man alone, you think he cares? hes making good money. and its entertainment, thats why its on tv other wise they wouldnt risk not getting good ratings. even he did make his own raft or not, in a way its enjoying to watch, i doubt he would risk his life, the show and producer would not allow it do to legal parts. all in all its ENTERTAINMENT and i dont give a shit if its s filmed down my street...someone is envying his success
Bear Girls is a first class fraudster,and dupes many nut huggers into believing his crap.The disclaimer was only announced after he had been caught sleeping in a hotel when he was actually pretending to be sleeping in a swamp.Eejit.
No, he doesn't. The advice he gives is dangerously stupid - the number one rule of survival is to stay put when you're lost, and he breaks it in *every single show.*
Past that, he has also encouraged scaling high cliffs for a few hundred calories, drinking your own urine, jumping off a cliff into water of unknown depth to escape from a bear, and many other equally suicidal pieces of advice. Want survival knowledge? Watch survivorman.
No offense but Les Stroud (Survivorman) doesn't really show you anything he just tells you he's doing it. I saw an episode of him in the Rocky Mountains and when he was going to set a trap in the river to find food and he just said I'm going to try getting fish. Then he comes back and says I got a fish. That's not very helpful. But they are both impressive for sure, all because Bear Grylls has a three man crew doesn't mean he's fake, it means he wants to make the show more enjoyable to watch.
Survivorman with Les Stroud is king of the survival shows. One man, lugging all of his camera gear, *living* what he teaches, and actually giving proper survival
lessons. Many things that Bear does in his show are stupidly dangerous to do in survival. In a survival situation the worst thing is get hurt... In episodes he climbs sheer cliffs for no reason & even much worse. This is terrible information & can get someone killed. These are peoples lives we're talking about! -Thumbs Up if you agree-
@dannyvas1 That's the thing, it may just be a tv show, but sadly many people take to heart what he does and would attempt many of his techniques in a survival situation to try and save their own lives. While some of what he shows is proper, just as much is incorrect, and even worse extremely dangerous...
oh please! if a person is an idiot he is going to do dumb dumb things weather he watches Bear's show or worse. and like they say in engineering "Never underestimate the brilliance of stupid people" they will always find places for new ideas worse than him, such as the news/religion/movies/the dog whisperer/UFC.
@dannyvas1 While I do agree with that statement completely, you cannot logically tell me that what I state is incorrect. The difference being in your examples is that those things are not implemented in a life or death situation. Therefore their risk factor to causing a human life is little to none at all...
Though I'm not arguing that this is a bad thing, mother nature has a way of dealing with the weak and stupid, I'm sure you'll agree with that also. -Turns Off Pain
@redliberation well in that case its better to have hes show than not having anything at all. like me if I wouldn't watch hes show I wouldn't know anything at all because I am not going to have a professional survivor course or something.
@redliberation totally agree with you. but at the same time I like watching hes show. he is a special individual. anyways I hope some new episodes will come out soon. cheers!
lead a team of five to take an ice-breaking rigid-inflatable boat (RIB) through 2,500 miles (4,000 km) of the ice strewn Northwest Passage. to raise money for children's charity Global Angels.
So yeah hes really fake ain't he? What have you achieved you Retarded American Scum maybe eating the most Mc Donalds?
@EssexGamer First of all, I live in the US and I'm not fat (trust me I'm not offended in any way because I see your point). Second of all, I agree, people think because he has a camera crew he's fake. He still shows us survivor skills and still goes to those dangerous places, so trust me he's not a fake. Oh yea and youngest Brit to climb Everest.
@EssexGamer I'm american! But I do agree with you about this whole thing. Bear is better and that's my opinion, he's done so much more than Les Stroud, not to mention actually caring for other people. I mean would Les Stroud lead a team of people across the frozen Arctic to raise money for kids?
@4Boldme a loser your reviewing shows that you haven't even watched. if you actually watch the programme and not judge it from other peoples comments. he says things like "i wont be staying the night but if i was this is what i'd do" and things like " i wasn't able to catch one but my camera crew did". ive got a life mate im trying to do some work, im not a virgin that just sits here and comments on things i don't even know about....later precious xx
@4Bold whats he actually lying about, he still teaches you how to srurvive, aint that the purpose of the programme, he admits that sometimes he will stay with the crew at night but NOT in a hotel a camp they set up before. i bet if you had about 400 cameras on yah and a crew of 80 you would still shit your self in the same situation. if this is fake 'ITS NOT' what wrong with him teaching people how to survive. if anything hes trying to save peoples lives!!
the whole point of the show is inform the viewers survival techniques and what skills he has learnt throughout his life. i cant see why people dont like this man , he's helping people 'JUST INCASE' they are in these situations. fuck all the people who dont like him. i absolutely love this man and if anyone has anything to say , go ahead and respond
The best complaint about this show is that most of the "survival" advice this guy gives is more likely to get you killed than help you survive. If you wanna learn about survival, watch Survivorman; Les Stroud isn't an idiot.
I thaught the whole point of the tv series' was to give an idea to viewers on how survival at different extreme parts of the world is done. Who cares if it's set in different locations, he's still presenting the techniques used, history and stories of other people's method's of survivng. So all in all it's doing exactally as it says on the tin.
I don't understand what these people that make these kind of videos gain from doing them? Jealousy? Shame? Motivation?
People aren't upset that it's not a reality show. They are upset because he tries to deceive ppl into believe these are 'real' how-to-guides and not staged situations. This causes him to lose credibility; meaning his advice on how-to also loses credibility.
I noticed ppl posting logic. If you are so good at logic, when you watch his show red flags should pop up everywhere. He constantly does and says things that are not logical.
@rskace (cont) or counters his own advice on survival. Meaning his how-to-guides have no credibility = useless. It's basically just a drama with questionable educational value.
Survivor man gives extremely good survival information.
Also to all the idiots out there. Would Bear or a TV corporation risk there star just for the hell of it. He is not a dare devil he is a professional simulating real survival situations. If it was just him and a camera and left to the dynamic chaos that surrounds you in the wild anyone would be dead by now. Its a lot of skill to survive in the remote wilderness but luck does play an large part too. What if out of nowhere he accidently came across a mother grizzly with no protection?
To all the Bear Grylls defenders out there, I would love for just once, to see him actually survive for a week, on his own. He can keep his camera crew, but thats it. Just him, his cameraman, and maybe one other guy to help carry equipment.
My problem is at first the show was put out to the world like that is what was really happening. Now he puts up a disclaimer and goes about his business. Its good TV, i watch it myself. But there ain't no way in hell im following any advice that man gives.
@PaperTreeProphet Are you kidding me? The man was SAS. He could easily survive this shit but if you only needed one person to make a TV show don't you think most shows would do that to cut cost. If it was just him and a camera quality would suffer and no large corporation would sponsor him. Its a reality but I think on his own with no camera he would do the stuff he does without help its because the viewers have unrealistic expectations and that is why its like it is. Smarten the fuck up.
@Deerslayer2k9 I never said he couldn't, that wasn't the point. My problem is with how the show was originally presented as well as some of the crap he shows. Not to mention I didn't say just him and a camera, i said he could keep the crew. But Les Stroud seemed to pull it off with some great success. I'm no survival expert but I got enough of a brain to know if you took half the risk he supposedly does in the show then you would kill yourself before ever getting out.
The disclaimer is there for a reason. Remember when he was on that glacier? Seconds after he decided to rope himself and his camera crew up to a harness, he fell into a crevice; the harness saved his life. People fail to realize this IS a TV show, but you can't expect the man to run around unequipped risking his own life just for the sake of good TV.
I mean he DOES do that, but I mean in life threatening situations, he needs it. Otherwise his life is in jeopardy.
i would still consider him surviving in the wild regardless of where it is still surviving if i was washed ashore there i would have no idea where china mans hat was and i would probably go on for a at least a week w/o seeing another person.
The thing that annoys me about anti-Bear Grylls people is that they don't realize what the aim of the show is; it is to demonstrate survival TECHNIQUES which may occur in situations. Since airtime is limited, it is logical to "frame" certain techniques just so he can prove what is happening. Despite the fact that certain scenes are being framed, he still provides good advice on how to survive in certain situations.
Man vs Wild is just a show for our entertainment. Some of it is educational because he tells you some good techniques for survival, such as what to eat, what not to eat, what plants can help you, how to build a raft.
Of course he doesn't spend most of the nights in the jungle, i would think that sometimes he might stay overnight to film, but most of the time he's probably off to a motel or something (maybe not in the desert), but i wouldn't call him a fake. He is still a survival expert.
Again, this is simple for 99 percent of the functional brains in the free world. If in fact bear accidently got stranded on every trip to the grocery store he would be an idiot. This is an educational show you moron who posted this. I just cannot get over some peoples thinking. Its like people wake up everyday to try to find flaws in everyone and everything but themselfs. You want to tear apart anything that is not "what it seems" YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT "what it seems" IDIOT
I just cant get over this, I really cant. Look, we as LOGICAL viewers are supposed to have a predetermined logical mindset that Bear is presented these situations. The ratings would be a FRACTION of what they are if they told us "ok we are going to drop this spitting cobra out of this snake sack and have bear kill it so you know how to do it should you come across a spitting cobra" ITS TV, ITS ENTERTAINMENT. I hope you are used in the next Man Vs Wild show as a potential meal for bear.
I mean come REALLY??? You think every week Bear gets in his car he gets lost in the Jungle? Or every time he flies his plane crashes? Or every boat he gets on sinks? YOU FUCKING IDOT. These situations are PRESENTED to him. So every show is he supposed to start it by saying, "This is really not a deserted island but were going to act like it is one" NO, that is up to LOGICAL viewers to know. You just made me dumber by watching your video. Thanks
@jvanley6911 What this guy said 100%. I mean, you guys are acting surprised and shocked over something that's just common sense to the rest of the world. Take a step back and think about it.
Whoever posted this video is a real walking talking idiot. You are proff that human beings cannot tell the difference between educational videos and real life drama. OF COURSE THESE SITUATIONS ARE PRESENTED TO BEAR. Thats the whole point of the fucking show!! Come on, do you REALLY think Bear gets fucking lost every other week in the mountains, desert island or the fucking ocean? This show is a presented education show to demonstrate survival techniques.
Really funny reading the comments from the people who don't mind being spoon-fed a bunch of fake bs presented as being real. "But that's OK, I'll eat the crap he feeds me because he used to be superman and he shows me how to survive." lol If you're that stupid, you get what you deserve. Same idiots that bought "hope and change". You can use those survival skill after the administration redistributes all your "wealth". Think your not wealthy? You're all "wealthier" than someone. Just wait and see
what's the point of this shitty video? who cares? I think you're the loser. Bear is what he is. He has big balls to do what he does and show how he would survive in extreme conditions.
. . . Bear in Jurassic park. LOL Dude, who cares if it's fake? Who cares if he lied. Fact is he's at least showing us how the hell to survive...and nom nom nom, some pretty interesting creatures. *Goes back to watching Bear eat a tarantula.* Must say though, EPIC F^CKIN VID! I LOVED IT! You did a really good point in showing your view ^.^ I found it interesting. Thanks for uploading. ^.^ I like looking at both sides in one post, then can't get trolled as easy. XD
makes me laugh that neither the person who made the video nor those leaving comments on Bear being fake would even dare to attempt the back flip of the chopper. Is a "how to" show, People who nag here should upload a video response doing half the things that Bear does. The location might not be a remote island but it teaches you how to survive in this cases and is a tv show and sure he's got lots of background people looking out for his safety but he's still got more balls than anybody here.
@mike2tone you've missed the point. It's not that the stuff he does it's easy, it's that it's a how-to show posing as a survivalist show. Saying "YOU TRY AND EAT A SCORPION THEN , HAH U SUCK" is completely irrelevant. The fact is, most nights he goes to a hotel, washes up, shaves, then goes back out there and pretends he's on a survival expedition = bullshit.
I haven't seen him do anything the guys from Jackass couldn't do. He even admits to researching the survival tips in the days beforehand
Yes, not allowed. The company would remain liable if anything should happen to you knowing of your previous injuries. I can't bungy or skydive because my knee has pins in it.
@ssbmloler Except that he was, unless you believe that his parachuting accident (in which he partially crushed three vertebrae) while serving in North Africa in '96 was all part of an elaborate ruse to fill out his TV promos a decade later. Which other lies are there?
@xjtbarnesx Yes, I would believe that is the same lie he tells. If he crushed 3 vertebrae he wouldn't parachute again btw...so you only confirm my theory.
He puts on the show for entertainment purposes,not to show how tough he is outside the wild,also,the tips,what to do,what to eat,what to drink when you are stranded in the middle of a Fucked Up terrain such as the Jungle,Desert,and Snowy Mountains,Of course he brought his crew with him for safety puposes if you were bear,you wouldnt be able to film yourself if youre alone would you?and most of all,who on earth want to die if anything goes wrong?
@ball0222 Yea I agree, Man vs. Wild is truly more exciting than Survivorman. Survivorman looks like a YouTube video and he doesn't actually show you how to do things he just tells you, but he is impressive, I mean they both are, I just prefer Bear.
@sdleg2008 Actually Bear does tell you how to turn urine into water in a few of his episodes, for example one was in the Sahara I believe. I admit they are both impressive, but my opinion is Bear Grylls is better. Just respect others opinions like I'm respecting yours.
@sidewinderxx yea... the difference between the 2 is survivorman just has his crew camp 50 yards away from him..most bear grylls haters are survivorman fans. just watch the episodes where he didnt last the duration. usually, it ends with him running to his camp just over the hill. News flash- they both work for the same company ( discoverychannel) and answer to the same regulatory bodies.
Who the fuck cares if it's real or fake.. isn't the point of the show just to show what you should do and how you'd survive in those situations. Plus, if you think it's fake just don't watch.. it's so annoying when people try to ruin shit for everyone else.
Errr, it's a show, it's indicated before it starts that it's a How-To Guide, not a reality show, plus the crew is with him just in case something happens and he can get help...f**king fat noob nigger with KFC in his armpit...
It's entertaining. Doesn't matter if he has a whole crew of 1000 men behind him. Doesn't matter if most of it is staged and fake. Doesn't matter if he stays in a 5-star hotel for the night. Doesn't matter if most of his advice is wrong. I love the show, it looks real, I love the parts when he eats and builds, even if it is fake.
The man is showing survior technics in different envoriments and for an idiot who lives in suburba and gets lost, has no food or idea. I think I would use them. Than be an idiot who sits there and dies.
Guy's the show is fake sorry but he admit a while ago its not like this is news it really is old news and kind of sad that people like lkillpplinrealllife go bat shit insane defending this guy when many of his shows are filmed over six days and places that you can drive to. Its cool he climbed everest and was SAS. But so what my grandpa was in special forces in Nam and and still does cool shit. But he's not making a fake show its entertainment don't take his advice to heart.
BITCH!! HOW CAN YOU PROVE ANY OF THIS WITH UR SHITTY GOOGLE IMAGE PICS UR A FUCKEN REATRD FAT CUNT THAT IS JUST JELOUS THAT BEAR GRLLYS CAN GET OFF HIS ASS UNLIKE YOU U FUCKEN NERD
@Ikillpplinreallife Dude he admit's it was fake a long time ago danm kid you got some anger problems w w w nowpublic{.} com/ culture /man-vs-wild-admits-show-fake
Bear is real,but he is doing the risky way every time because the show.He tell every time "this dangerous" "dont do it" but stil he do it because this is entertaining.He never lied about surviving technics,they are real,he tell you what can you eat,of course he chose the risky ugly disgusting way,he chose the fast risky ways.Of course if you have everything you need to survive,then dont try to get out,stay there and wait for rescue.This is booring,1/10 people watch the show if he do this.
Hem ... "he said, he said ... he said..." no, I resaw all episodes, he didn't say that ... actually, u anderstood that, and U thinks u can do that ... unfortunatly, this guy didn't say that, it is suggested u could, but u're not a heroe, probably a fu**in fat guy who eats big mac 3 times a day. So u can't, OMG Grylls lied to u !!!
Well, everyone has his own opinion about this guy and this program. I apreciate this program, and f**k the rest =)

What I would suggest, if you can ever see them, is the series of shows called "Bush Tucker Man" featuring Major Les Hiddens, Australian Amy (now retired) instead of showing you how to break your neck is a spectacular and foolhardy fashion his job was actually ascertaining (by going out there and seeing for himself) which Australian native plants were actually edible, something that might actually be useful knowledge
I do not think I said the "claim is wholly fake", but merely pointed out his "SAS service" is not what people generally assume it to be. He is not hiding this as he admitted his part time and pretty much minimal service in an interview. As for Wiki, I think I would believe a very reputable broadsheet before putting my trust in and entry that anyone, with little or no actual knowledge, could edit. I don't hate this guy, I don't actually spare him any thought. He is pretty much irrelevant.
much is made of Bear Grylls's SAS service, however in an interview for the Sydney Morning Herald he admitted that he had served a total of 2 years in the RESERVES. In the Australian military we refer to reserves as - 1 Cut lunch commandos or Koalas (because they can not be exported and they can not be shot. Also known as chocos (as in chocolate soldiers) or we even call them the SAS (as in saturdays and sundays, which is an apt description of his service)
The show might be somewhat fake, meaning he gets a lift with the crew etc, stays in a hotel.But if he had to do it all real it would take months to film one episode and cost a fortune.If you look up grylls himself he is NOT a fake.He is a heavily experienced climber and explorer ex soldier and ex SAS special forces commando.He is real of course the TV show isn't.
He's still ex-SAS, he still climbed Everest at 23, and he's still the youngest Chief Scout... Which part is fraudulent? What are your own achievements?
Your own naivety isn't Bear's fault. If, by now, you don't understand how and why TV shows are produced, you need more than 'survival' advice. C'mon kids.
@TheWombat40 Saying the claim is wholly fake is more than a little dismissive, but even still, it's still completely irrelevant. I mean, even with minimal effort on your own part, you spend 2 minutes on his wiki page and read through his rather impressive list of less-than-comfortable, certainly not fraudulent accomplishments.
I don't understand the hatred for this guy? /shrug
@GSNRecords I'm not sure what you're on about? Taking the easy way out of what? Admittedly, I've never climbed Everest, I've never taught survival skills to the SAS, and I wasn't part of the first unassisted arctic crossing in an RIB, but I'm not sure that any of these things exactly qualify as the 'easy way out.'
See, bringing up all this irrelevant shit doesn't change that Bear is deliberately deceiving his audience. AKA, one fact here doesn't prove another, and all you're doing is trying to win an argument with a logical fallacy.
@GSNRecords I think I understand your poorly made point, but I'm not actually saying that the SHOW isn't "fraudulent". No, in fact if I were an oblivious 7 year old child, I'd be inclined to agree with you. Here's the important bit: I'm only saying that Bear Grylls himself is not a fraud - his achievements I've listed are testament to that. You can fault the show's editor all you want, but Bear is still a survival expert and he's still done (and doing) a hell of a lot more than you or I.
Yet again, you insist on using logical fallacies. One fact does not prove another. Bear has done remarkable feats that prove his HARDINESS, not his character. Richard Nixon became the fucking President of the US, but you don't doubt his fraudulent and irresponsible behaviour, do you?
@GSNRecords I guess I was confused about which part you deem fraudulent - not the show, not his expertise, but his character? So your contention is that Bear, whilst actually presenting the survival situations, is not only responsible for how the program is produced, billed, edited, and so on, but also for how any naive viewer might possibly perceive the show. Therefore, despite his own personal clarification of the show's process and also his charity efforts, he's a shitty person. Yeah?
@xjtbarnesx In wrestling there is a saying: "Wrestle the guy, not the name." The same applies here. He is a great person I'm sure and he's made many great accomplishments, but the stuff he teaches could get someone in trouble. Some tv shows (i.e. Good Eats) do teach. And the way he makes out his show is like he's trying to teach us. Sure, it's entertaining, but we can't apply what we learn from him to a real life scenario because its dangerous.
@MMSkullkid especially the episode where he made a grappling hook and then threw it to the other cliff that was 20 ft. away...who would do that in real life when you're barely getting any nutrients due to lack of food?
@xjtbarnesx sure, he did all those things. but the fact is man vs wild is a show about survival. bear grylls is a terrible person to take survival advice from, due to the fact that the #1 rule in wilderness survival is not to take unneccessary risks, and thats all bear grylls seems to do. "ooh look a giant cliff that leads to nowhere, lets climb it"
@da133 Oh, is that an exact quote? I must've missed that episode. Bear knows his limits; he does a lot of things that really /aren't/ all that risky given his background and experience, but to a mailman from Dirty Jers, I guess anything might seem completely ridiculous. This is where the show assumes an audience IQ of at least 70.
If you've ever read a true survival account, it's often the big risks that save lives. Losing track of your camp site for 3 hours isn't a survival situation.
@xjtbarnesx what a pathetic response... im not a mailman anymore, and even if i was, that has no bearing on my iq. if you can't see that bear grylls constantly takes unnecessary risks then maybe you are the one with an iq below 70.
@xjtbarnesx You morons forget that it's not a reality show. It's an educational documentary supposed to show you basic survival skills, and tips from it helped a little boy recently survive and be found in the woods. I'd like to see you cut up and eat parts of a dead camel/zebra, or use a camel carcass as shelter, or drink fluids from elephant dung, or climb steep ridges with no rope or a million other things a regular person couldn't do. Go back to your chronic masturbating.
@xjtbarnesx it's not that he's faking everything he does, it's that he's lying to the viewer. Have you seen those ads where some middle aged lady walks through a supermarket talking about a product and it's called something stupid like 'Brand Reviews' and they make it out to be an objective review, when it's clearly an ad. It's not that the product is bad inherently, it's that the message is fucked and takes the viewer for a stupid idiot. Same thing with Grills.
@icecremer Oh believe me the show is VERY entertaining and I'm bot being sarcastic! It's very cool but when people try out some of the stuff he does, it can be dangerous.
how do you know this is real information they could hav took the right film after bear was there and named it a resort DUH and if you belive that well im sorry but this is fake bear is real!!!
If you want to learn something that is not a load of BS, watch Les Stroud "Survivorman". He is the real deal. Bear Grylls is a sensationalist and either has no clue what he is doing or he is a pathological liar who tells people to do things that are not only wrong but stupid and dangerous with no real reason for it.
He got into the SAS and survived a parachute accident, thats more than what you can do in your whole lifetime, why cant you people enjoy things instead of getting jealous and trying your hardest to prove things "fake".
@MMSkullkid either way skullkid the big picture is that he's successful and probably can read your comment and laugh at you while he sits in his multi million dollar house. whatre you tryin to prove?
Actually, the point of the show was to entertain by making you believe he wasn't being assisted at all and yet was able to survive. People do believe he is really doing everything that is being suggested he is in the episodes. And it's fine that he isn't. But don't lead people on--tell them if this is real or if it's staged.
Dude everything on TV is fake.... even loads of ''reality'' shows are staged with events thought about beforehand. Same goes for a lot of spellshows. Steve Irwin had a truck of animals with him when he went ''into the wild'', they let them lose and then ''spotted them in the wild to catch them''. You honestly think he would roam around for days to find certain animals? You know how expensive that is?
Why would you want the dull boring truth on TV when you can have an exciting fake one.....
I have always seen him as a parody of survivor expert :D Too bad discovery actually claims him to be expert. Otherwise it is just a dude running around. People like it.
It was obvious he whether doesn't know shit or doesn't show how to survive (you don't do things he does if you want to stay alive).
Bear Grylls to survivor things is like Brainiack toreal science.
see.. you cannot argue on the same level. therefore you quickly shift to other level - how much success BG achieved as entertainer.
Discussion is that Bear staes something that isn't true. Just like T-pain would state he doesn't sue autotune or Bush would state there was no war in Iraq at all. Never.
btw. Coperfield was best entertainer of all time. He'd destroy Bear in entertainment-off :D
yes is true what you say, about people will take his advice seriously.But he also says, only do it if there's no other way.sometimes you have to take chances to ably to survive.offcourse he is trained to do those things, But when it does happen to you, believe me you will use the surviver skills of bear grylls fake or no fake.
first - it is really cheap way to cover any bullshit he wants. ANY.
second - if that particular way was really the only way.. why the hell we need to watch him? Wouldn't it being the only way automatically exclude any other ways therefore it'd become obvious what to do?
@krasiebitch "no other way". Ha! That's a copout. Like Ed said, he can literally get alway with ANYTHING saying that! There is always no other way with him. Why is that? Also, if there is no other way, how come other survival experts don't recommend his way?
lol...dude the man has his own survival knife. i saw it at dicks sporting goods when i was looking for camoping gear, the Bear Grylls Survival Knife....i would do the same if my act is up i gotta find other sources of income

No, he doesn't. The advice he gives is dangerously stupid - the number one rule of survival is to stay put when you're lost, and he breaks it in *every single show.*
Past that, he has also encouraged scaling high cliffs for a few hundred calories, drinking your own urine, jumping off a cliff into water of unknown depth to escape from a bear, and many other equally suicidal pieces of advice. Want survival knowledge? Watch survivorman.

No offense but Les Stroud (Survivorman) doesn't really show you anything he just tells you he's doing it. I saw an episode of him in the Rocky Mountains and when he was going to set a trap in the river to find food and he just said I'm going to try getting fish. Then he comes back and says I got a fish. That's not very helpful. But they are both impressive for sure, all because Bear Grylls has a three man crew doesn't mean he's fake, it means he wants to make the show more enjoyable to watch.

Survivorman with Les Stroud is king of the survival shows. One man, lugging all of his camera gear, *living* what he teaches, and actually giving proper survival
lessons. Many things that Bear does in his show are stupidly dangerous to do in survival. In a survival situation the worst thing is get hurt... In episodes he climbs sheer cliffs for no reason & even much worse. This is terrible information & can get someone killed. These are peoples lives we're talking about! -Thumbs Up if you agree-

@dannyvas1 That's the thing, it may just be a tv show, but sadly many people take to heart what he does and would attempt many of his techniques in a survival situation to try and save their own lives. While some of what he shows is proper, just as much is incorrect, and even worse extremely dangerous...

oh please! if a person is an idiot he is going to do dumb dumb things weather he watches Bear's show or worse. and like they say in engineering "Never underestimate the brilliance of stupid people" they will always find places for new ideas worse than him, such as the news/religion/movies/the dog whisperer/UFC.
dannyvas1 8 months ago
@dannyvas1 While I do agree with that statement completely, you cannot logically tell me that what I state is incorrect. The difference being in your examples is that those things are not implemented in a life or death situation. Therefore their risk factor to causing a human life is little to none at all...
Though I'm not arguing that this is a bad thing, mother nature has a way of dealing with the weak and stupid, I'm sure you'll agree with that also. -Turns Off Pain

I thaught the whole point of the tv series' was to give an idea to viewers on how survival at different extreme parts of the world is done. Who cares if it's set in different locations, he's still presenting the techniques used, history and stories of other people's method's of survivng. So all in all it's doing exactally as it says on the tin.
I don't understand what these people that make these kind of videos gain from doing them? Jealousy? Shame? Motivation?

People aren't upset that it's not a reality show. They are upset because he tries to deceive ppl into believe these are 'real' how-to-guides and not staged situations. This causes him to lose credibility; meaning his advice on how-to also loses credibility.
I noticed ppl posting logic. If you are so good at logic, when you watch his show red flags should pop up everywhere. He constantly does and says things that are not logical.

Also to all the idiots out there. Would Bear or a TV corporation risk there star just for the hell of it. He is not a dare devil he is a professional simulating real survival situations. If it was just him and a camera and left to the dynamic chaos that surrounds you in the wild anyone would be dead by now. Its a lot of skill to survive in the remote wilderness but luck does play an large part too. What if out of nowhere he accidently came across a mother grizzly with no protection?
Deerslayer2k9 10 months ago
To all the Bear Grylls defenders out there, I would love for just once, to see him actually survive for a week, on his own. He can keep his camera crew, but thats it. Just him, his cameraman, and maybe one other guy to help carry equipment.
My problem is at first the show was put out to the world like that is what was really happening. Now he puts up a disclaimer and goes about his business. Its good TV, i watch it myself. But there ain't no way in hell im following any advice that man gives.
PaperTreeProphet 10 months ago
@PaperTreeProphet Are you kidding me? The man was SAS. He could easily survive this shit but if you only needed one person to make a TV show don't you think most shows would do that to cut cost. If it was just him and a camera quality would suffer and no large corporation would sponsor him. Its a reality but I think on his own with no camera he would do the stuff he does without help its because the viewers have unrealistic expectations and that is why its like it is. Smarten the fuck up.
Deerslayer2k9 10 months ago
@Deerslayer2k9 I never said he couldn't, that wasn't the point. My problem is with how the show was originally presented as well as some of the crap he shows. Not to mention I didn't say just him and a camera, i said he could keep the crew. But Les Stroud seemed to pull it off with some great success. I'm no survival expert but I got enough of a brain to know if you took half the risk he supposedly does in the show then you would kill yourself before ever getting out.
PaperTreeProphet 10 months ago
@PaperTreeProphet
The disclaimer is there for a reason. Remember when he was on that glacier? Seconds after he decided to rope himself and his camera crew up to a harness, he fell into a crevice; the harness saved his life. People fail to realize this IS a TV show, but you can't expect the man to run around unequipped risking his own life just for the sake of good TV.
I mean he DOES do that, but I mean in life threatening situations, he needs it. Otherwise his life is in jeopardy.

The thing that annoys me about anti-Bear Grylls people is that they don't realize what the aim of the show is; it is to demonstrate survival TECHNIQUES which may occur in situations. Since airtime is limited, it is logical to "frame" certain techniques just so he can prove what is happening. Despite the fact that certain scenes are being framed, he still provides good advice on how to survive in certain situations.

Man vs Wild is just a show for our entertainment. Some of it is educational because he tells you some good techniques for survival, such as what to eat, what not to eat, what plants can help you, how to build a raft.
Of course he doesn't spend most of the nights in the jungle, i would think that sometimes he might stay overnight to film, but most of the time he's probably off to a motel or something (maybe not in the desert), but i wouldn't call him a fake. He is still a survival expert.

Saying "YOU TRY AND EAT A SCORPION THEN , HAH U SUCK" is completely irrelevant. The fact is, most nights he goes to a hotel, washes up, shaves, then goes back out there and pretends he's on a survival expedition = bullshit.

What I would suggest, if you can ever see them, is the series of shows called "Bush Tucker Man" featuring Major Les Hiddens, Australian Amy (now retired) instead of showing you how to break your neck is a spectacular and foolhardy fashion his job was actually ascertaining (by going out there and seeing for himself) which Australian native plants were actually edible, something that might actually be useful knowledge

I do not think I said the "claim is wholly fake", but merely pointed out his "SAS service" is not what people generally assume it to be. He is not hiding this as he admitted his part time and pretty much minimal service in an interview. As for Wiki, I think I would believe a very reputable broadsheet before putting my trust in and entry that anyone, with little or no actual knowledge, could edit. I don't hate this guy, I don't actually spare him any thought. He is pretty much irrelevant.

much is made of Bear Grylls's SAS service, however in an interview for the Sydney Morning Herald he admitted that he had served a total of 2 years in the RESERVES. In the Australian military we refer to reserves as - 1 Cut lunch commandos or Koalas (because they can not be exported and they can not be shot. Also known as chocos (as in chocolate soldiers) or we even call them the SAS (as in saturdays and sundays, which is an apt description of his service)

The show might be somewhat fake, meaning he gets a lift with the crew etc, stays in a hotel.But if he had to do it all real it would take months to film one episode and cost a fortune.If you look up grylls himself he is NOT a fake.He is a heavily experienced climber and explorer ex soldier and ex SAS special forces commando.He is real of course the TV show isn't.

Here's the important bit: I'm only saying that Bear Grylls himself is not a fraud - his achievements I've listed are testament to that. You can fault the show's editor all you want, but Bear is still a survival expert and he's still done (and doing) a hell of a lot more than you or I.

Yet again, you insist on using logical fallacies. One fact does not prove another. Bear has done remarkable feats that prove his HARDINESS, not his character. Richard Nixon became the fucking President of the US, but you don't doubt his fraudulent and irresponsible behaviour, do you?
GSNRecords 1 year ago
@GSNRecords I guess I was confused about which part you deem fraudulent - not the show, not his expertise, but his character? So your contention is that Bear, whilst actually presenting the survival situations, is not only responsible for how the program is produced, billed, edited, and so on, but also for how any naive viewer might possibly perceive the show. Therefore, despite his own personal clarification of the show's process and also his charity efforts, he's a shitty person. Yeah?

@xjtbarnesx In wrestling there is a saying: "Wrestle the guy, not the name." The same applies here. He is a great person I'm sure and he's made many great accomplishments, but the stuff he teaches could get someone in trouble. Some tv shows (i.e. Good Eats) do teach. And the way he makes out his show is like he's trying to teach us. Sure, it's entertaining, but we can't apply what we learn from him to a real life scenario because its dangerous.

@MMSkullkid especially the episode where he made a grappling hook and then threw it to the other cliff that was 20 ft. away...who would do that in real life when you're barely getting any nutrients due to lack of food?

I've been a Discovery channel viewer for years and I've never seen a real show.
Even World War footage is fake on the dicovery channel. Bear is a legend.

@xjtbarnesx sure, he did all those things. but the fact is man vs wild is a show about survival. bear grylls is a terrible person to take survival advice from, due to the fact that the #1 rule in wilderness survival is not to take unneccessary risks, and thats all bear grylls seems to do. "ooh look a giant cliff that leads to nowhere, lets climb it"
da133 1 year ago
@da133 Oh, is that an exact quote? I must've missed that episode. Bear knows his limits; he does a lot of things that really /aren't/ all that risky given his background and experience, but to a mailman from Dirty Jers, I guess anything might seem completely ridiculous. This is where the show assumes an audience IQ of at least 70.
If you've ever read a true survival account, it's often the big risks that save lives. Losing track of your camp site for 3 hours isn't a survival situation.
xjtbarnesx 1 year ago 9
@xjtbarnesx what a pathetic response... im not a mailman anymore, and even if i was, that has no bearing on my iq. if you can't see that bear grylls constantly takes unnecessary risks then maybe you are the one with an iq below 70.
da133 1 year ago
@xjtbarnesx You morons forget that it's not a reality show. It's an educational documentary supposed to show you basic survival skills, and tips from it helped a little boy recently survive and be found in the woods. I'd like to see you cut up and eat parts of a dead camel/zebra, or use a camel carcass as shelter, or drink fluids from elephant dung, or climb steep ridges with no rope or a million other things a regular person couldn't do. Go back to your chronic masturbating.

@xjtbarnesx it's not that he's faking everything he does, it's that he's lying to the viewer. Have you seen those ads where some middle aged lady walks through a supermarket talking about a product and it's called something stupid like 'Brand Reviews' and they make it out to be an objective review, when it's clearly an ad. It's not that the product is bad inherently, it's that the message is fucked and takes the viewer for a stupid idiot. Same thing with Grills.

If you want to learn something that is not a load of BS, watch Les Stroud "Survivorman". He is the real deal. Bear Grylls is a sensationalist and either has no clue what he is doing or he is a pathological liar who tells people to do things that are not only wrong but stupid and dangerous with no real reason for it.

enterthafatass 1 year ago
Actually, the point of the show was to entertain by making you believe he wasn't being assisted at all and yet was able to survive. People do believe he is really doing everything that is being suggested he is in the episodes. And it's fine that he isn't. But don't lead people on--tell them if this is real or if it's staged.

Dude everything on TV is fake.... even loads of ''reality'' shows are staged with events thought about beforehand. Same goes for a lot of spellshows. Steve Irwin had a truck of animals with him when he went ''into the wild'', they let them lose and then ''spotted them in the wild to catch them''. You honestly think he would roam around for days to find certain animals? You know how expensive that is?
Why would you want the dull boring truth on TV when you can have an exciting fake one.....

cheezie760 1 year ago
I have always seen him as a parody of survivor expert :D Too bad discovery actually claims him to be expert. Otherwise it is just a dude running around. People like it.
It was obvious he whether doesn't know shit or doesn't show how to survive (you don't do things he does if you want to stay alive).
Bear Grylls to survivor things is like Brainiack toreal science.

Yes, you are a loser.. No, Not Bear. Who has a show that shows someone what to do. He himself is NOT stuck. So the maker of this video is a LOSER.

@undeadwhite
see.. you cannot argue on the same level. therefore you quickly shift to other level - how much success BG achieved as entertainer.
Discussion is that Bear staes something that isn't true. Just like T-pain would state he doesn't sue autotune or Bush would state there was no war in Iraq at all. Never.
btw. Coperfield was best entertainer of all time. He'd destroy Bear in entertainment-off :D
EdTheBadass 1 year ago
yes is true what you say, about people will take his advice seriously.But he also says, only do it if there's no other way.sometimes you have to take chances to ably to survive.offcourse he is trained to do those things, But when it does happen to you, believe me you will use the surviver skills of bear grylls fake or no fake.
krasiebitch 1 year ago
"do it if there's no other way"
first - it is really cheap way to cover any bullshit he wants. ANY.
second - if that particular way was really the only way.. why the hell we need to watch him? Wouldn't it being the only way automatically exclude any other ways therefore it'd become obvious what to do?
EdTheBadass 1 year ago
@krasiebitch "no other way". Ha! That's a copout. Like Ed said, he can literally get alway with ANYTHING saying that! There is always no other way with him. Why is that? Also, if there is no other way, how come other survival experts don't recommend his way?
