Ray: Always ends up with a nice shelter and wakes up dry and well rested, can live indefinitely in the wild, befriends tribesmen and forms a long lasting relationship.
Bear: Always wakes up wet and miserable, Drinks urine and eats faecal matter (the latter being infested with pathogens), kills animals on tv for entertainment purposes, gets rescued within the hour and spends the night in a hotel. He fell into a hole in the ground in Ireland and the camera man had to give him a hand to get out..
Ray is boring, sure he has the knowledge but defiantly not the physical conditioning. Bear has done more (climbed everest,SAS). God forbid if Ray comes across a steep molehill he might die of exhaustion!
RAY MEARS is the very best I also like bear but raymears is like " chill I can cook it " when bear is like " OMGz we are going to die if I don't eat this fish raw and alive " that's what I think
Im sorry but its Ray for me also. Bear eats stuff raw when he could just cook it and eat it nice. Its just a bit too much 'im hard i am' lol where Ray is ' why suffer?' Bear will risk life and limb down a rockface using is laces where Ray will wonder the long way around picking up his meal on the way. Both have one great thing in common, they get people out and about having a go.
bear is more comercial and just dumb things down and make things seem 10x more dramatic than they actualy are just to play to the audience and make survival apeal to the dim and light minded members of public. i find ray is way more informative. this is why i prefer bear
Bear can be entertaining but if you found yourself in a survival situation you woulnt have to dive down a waterfall or run down a mountain, so i think ray wins on the fact that if you were to copy him you would probably have a much safer time. I do like them both though =]
Lets say we were in a croc infested area, who would you think would take the croc. Ray or Bear? Its about survival, your not always gonna have a gun, eventually your gonna run into a larger predator and Bear would be alot more useful especially as he is ex- SAS aswell as more physical power than Ray, if you were with Ray you'd both end up being killed.
It's all TV it's all Entertainment so you can be asured there will be a lot of staging, anyone thinking this is not the case is crasy Immagine the lawsuits if any of these survival hosts would die during the shoot of these shows, not to mention the fatc that their milking cow is gone
Bear is better at eating shits in the forest full of life. But first he must wash that shit with half of his water. Of course shit has about zero calories but on the other hand.. its full of seriously dangerous substances...
Ray would have a nice camp set up cooking some fish and baking bread while numb nuts is busy running around looking for elephant turds to squeeze and spraying his camera crew with the runs when he feels the need to take a dump in the middle of climbing a sheer cliff.
well i think ray is alot better than bear cause he is kind of fat realy. so that means he WILL find food anyware, i would realy have a go at his sand oven/stove/furnace Deer.
and i think if you climb down ( run down or most of the time fall down) a mountain like bear, you would die, ore have an accident and then die of hunger.
routine is a fundamental bushcraft skill, if you follow the same routine over and over you will never panic and you'll make the right decisions, Ray has that routine
@buffmann91. hahaha, wtf? territorial SAS???? where the hell did you pull that out of? sounds like SAS reserve regiment.... dude, don't insult the SAS.... The actual SAS survival skills that ray taught in the 80's was probably based on a book he read... Ray is probably the guy who collects military medals and books so that he can feel like a complete trooper.
@convener777 Grylls was part of the territorial SAS - google it, Buffman isn't insulting the SAS.
Really climbing Mt Everest doesn't prove who is the best survivalist, as all it takes is money and fitness. Both are good at their profession, but Mears seems to be more humble and isn't trying to prove himself. I've met Ray and he is completely down to earth and isn't boastful of his skills, so your idea of him being someone collecting medals to feel like the genuine article doesn't fit Ray at all
i like both of them but they are kind of both focused on differnt thing bear gryll is focused on just finding a way to get the hell out and ray mears is focused on bushcraft and living with native people and learning the tecniques they use
Ray Mears could build me a 3 bed detached out of bark so he wins.
Seriously, I enjoy the both and both offer something different. Bear gets a lot of stick but you need to look at his achievements off camera to see what he's really done. Mears you would survive, Bear you should survive but may drown in a river trying to cross it with an inflated pillowcase.
Ray is a twat, he thinks he automatically better then Bear just because he was a wood chucker; lets look at bear record, youngest Briton to climb Mount Everest, crossed the artic circle, was in the best special force unit in the world the S.A.S, he broke his back in 3 places and was told he would not walk again, Ray has nothing on bear, all ray does is sit around the camp fire eating salmon .
Personally I much, MUCH prefer Ray... I think the people who love Grylls just love the sensational barbaric stuff he does (much of which he has admitted is staged/assisted.)
Ray seems more genuine to me and honestly I have learned way more from him in terms of practical ingenuity. But, Grylls is about extreme subsistence (or claims to be) and Ray is more a survival/bushcraft combo. They aren't exactly the same.
Bear grylls is not bad man,but the way that he presents survival,can be lethal.Especialy kids watch it,and think that they can survive in amazon,they can go there and die.
Ray Mears have a best look on bushcraft and survival,I'm bushcrafter and survivalist,and survival isn't knife and waterbottle.
Yea they're both great guys, though I'm a much more biased towards Ray, considering his rather specification of bushcraft skills in his shows. They seem to show bushcraft enthusiasts how to fine tune their skills. By the way this kinda reminds me of a wilderness version of Spy Vs. Spy.
ok everyone i want all of you too read this. There is a huge difference between bear grylls and ray mears and that is.Bear grylls is about survival. Ray mears is about bushcraft . they are 2 completly different things so please dont make anymore Bear Grylls VS Ray Mears.
i have always been impressed by mears coming to the arizona sonoran desert while bear has not. but, i find bear the more entertaining of the two. you know bear is a family man and is pretty handsome too.
A true stand-off would be who lights a fire quicker in a variety of situations i.e snow, wind, morning when things are damp and in wet conditions as that seems to be the mainstay of each show!
bear grylls glitters, ray mears is gold, if a bit of a snob :P i reckon in a real survival situation bear grylls would probably die of dysentry after a while or exhaustion, he's always prancing around making a big show out of everything, he should call his show, "doing really stupid things in the wilderness", fair enough nothing wrong with that its his life, but calling it survival and acting like he's some kind of bushcraft guru or whatever is pushing it.
@ImEuanAndIGotsSkeelz so true. Get lost in the wild with Ray for a week and the rescuers would find you sitting by a nice fire, well fed, well rested and generally content and probably you'll want to take with you some of the furniture from the camp site that your home lacks. Do it with Bear and the rescuers would find you in some cavity in a rock with a broken leg, starved (though you ate bear shit, sheep eyes and drank your own piss), sick and mad.
@hirezo This song is named "La Resa dei Conti" on the original Italian soundtrack. It's English title is "60 sconds to what" However, this CD "Grandes Temas del Oeste" and this track is called "La muerte tenia un precio "Rindiendo cuentas" - It's from mini hollywood.
Wandering chimes set the stage for a showdown, with the hard spanish surf guitar spotlighting the cruccial moment; then demonic organ amps the instensity, before conquistidore horns come in so bold they could punch through stone
thing is though, bear grylls is awsome and has such a vast amount of knowledge and skill, strength and all that. but at the end of the day, it was people like ray mears who will have taught bear survival skills.
@MrNomad81 Amen!!! I live in northern Michigan ,USA and the environment is basically the same as yours i imagine. People make winter wilderness survival videos and talk about sleeping out in 30 degree weather. That's not cold!!! Folks around hear are still wearing T-shirts and shorts at 30 degrees.
@BallsDangleton amen to that, your right our climates are exactly the same. Im only about 2 hours drive from detroit. Im just on the shore of lake ontario.
Bear is more of an extremist. He gets in situations that people might be in and he shows how to survive in it. While Ray Mears is a typical boyscout that will show you how to build your own mansion with an ax and a can of tuna.
STOP COMPARING !!! THEY BOTH ROCK AND SHOW HOW YOU CAN survive in harsh places, I think we should look up to them both instead of bring one down, AND SO WHAT IF HE DRINK HIS OWN PISS??? IF ITS GONA HELP YOU LIVE THEN HELL YES I WOULD. stop bitching you crazed fan boys, bear grylls and ray mears ftw
Urine is mostly water but this does not mean it can replace H2O. In addition to the water content, urine contains other things like nitrogen, potassium, sodium and impurities which is why its salty. If you have no water & your drinking urine, then all the impurities that your body is expelling are put back in. This can cause serious problems in the long run with your kidneys and liver.
Drink urine...no thanks, not me. Plenty of other options out there.
98% of modern people could never survive alone in the wild. Most people today haveno idea how to make a fire, much less how to skin, dress and cook any sort of wild game to feed themselves. They could not catch the game in the first place. Death stalks a lost person in the wild from the first instant that peron is in the wild. they do not have days or weeks to live without proper skills. They have hours. Death comes mainly from dehydration and exposure to the elements.
Bear is hard as fuck, HOWEVER.. he's no survivalist. He's on tv for those people who are addicted to hyped up reality tv and constant stimulation. He does things you should never, ever do in a survival situation. Ray is smart, calculating, knowlegeable, and informative. Ray wins, easy, every time. But I wouldnt wanna fight Bear...
survival is a instinct , Not everyone has it and every person has a different way of going about it . These are just two people amongst a few billion of us . Ray looks like a scout dweeb and Bear is an adrenaline junkie
They both have the skills, Grylls is tied to the infamous hollywood sound byte/ drama between commercials format. So, he is able to only give an outline. Mears, I have only seen here, is able to do a subject justice.
i like both Ray and Bear but prefer Ray, as he is more true to what he does. i have dvds of both & you can tell when things arent properly done with Bear, 1 i can think of is when Bear is going down a wild river holding onto a log, but when he gets out you nottice that hes actually wearing a lifejacket under his jumper that he wasnt wearing when he first got in. its on dvd you can check it out
if that was Ray he would just build a proper raft or find a safer route, for that reason i prefer Ray
@Random1357912 Why can't they ask Ray or Bear to go on I'm a celebrity get me out of here? pointless, they'd win all the stars eating all that bush crap and asking for seconds
@Random1357912 No I think they should hunt each other, Ray wins. Fatality. Oh but who's that!!? OMG it's the Bush tucker here to reclaim his OMG BUSH TUCKER MAN IS BEATING RAY MEARS TO DEATH WITH BEAR GRYLIS'S COLD DEAD BODY!!!
Lol I'm not an ex. I'm currently serving. Paras and sasband rmc (marines) are all elite units due to there stringent selection process. As for bending people over or getting raped is all army jargon not to be taken seriousley or literally
judging by the show is not helping anyway. They are both set up differently. But I think they both are extremely good in what they do. Grylls is an advanture seeker, Mears is a survival men. When you truly survive you just sit down and gather food. No need to climb mountains and jump huge cliffs. But then again, the show is not a good thing to base your opinion on. I think they both would do somewhat the same if they would be thrown in a real survival situation.
@gazbradshaw obviously u don't have the brains of a para trooper .... being a great surviver has nothing , NOTHING to do with you'r weight ! , being a survivor is knowledge , knowledge of invornment , shelter , weather , gears , survival kits , etc ... and they both have different approach bear is more about really tough survival with minimal gear , while ray has an approach more similar to people like me or u who hike or trek for a long time or maybe just start to do it ...
@gazbradshaw Hey Gaz why is it, as a para you are so into bending blokes over? I thought you would be into more manly pursuits. I always thought the Para Regiment and SAS Regiment were relatively small elite units. It appears they must be huge units as they seem to have thousands people claiming to be ex-members.
2 blokes enjoying different aspects of the great outdoors.
As a fellow outdoor enthusiast, I see no point in slagging off kindred spirits.
Better to have a go at the suits and layabouts who are gradually spoiling what little country we have left, either for their own gain or through apathy.
Mears is too chubby to last out in the bush for long. That is unless he had his 500lbs of equipment you always see him with. Might as well do the shows in his back yard.
they aren't the same type of outdoorsman...Ray shows you how to survive/thrive in the woods, bear shows you how to get from point A to point B fast and more escape type stuff than anything.
no doubt ray has alot of bushcraft skills. Bear was payed to do a show and did it. but really these posts are stupid. bear has real skills so does ray different shows different skills etc. yes one was fake, but the guy knows his shit. just learn and stop giving either guy shit for stuff u dont do. have another burger LOL
grylls is a dipshit showoff who wants nothing more than ratings.... hence the showing off. Gee let me see how much water I can get out of some elephant shit.. then let me relax in my hotel room the same night.
bear is a joke. look up the wiki for all the bad advice he gave on survival. every episode on man vs wild he does something stupid that could get you killed. if you did all the stunts bear did ... u would be dead or be in worst situation then just staying still. i think he even admit mear is more tough then him. mear call bear boy scout stunts. lol
With all Grylls exp why on earth does he not cook his food or should i say GRILL IT!!!!! its the shook factor that he goes for if you would like to follow in this guys foot prints take a walk to your local shop and buy some raw meat and try it!!! he waste a life to feed there and then the rest he wastes WHAT AN IDIOT
nor does bear grylls he show is all staged and fake all bear does is eat shit and climb shit he doesnt teach u nothing ray mears shows are brilliant cos he actually knows what the fuck he is on about BG is an adrenaline junkie ,
Yes killing animals is maybe not tough. But swim under ice in siberia, climbing 200 foot waterfalls, catching rattlesnakes, serveing 3 years with the special forces and climbing everest is much more tough......
@goldreserve you clearly dont know Bear Grylls, he was in the S.A.S, do you know how hard it is to get into the S.A.S if not search it. Ray has gone through nothing comepared to Bear.
@99Shockwave99 Bear did 3 years as a part time soldier in the SAS reserve. Ray Mears has dedicated his life to learning bushcraft skills from different tribes and peoples all over the planet!
To me it seems like they cater to different demographics. Bear to a younger crowd who maybe prefer a more actionpacked show with a lot of spectacular thing, even if it feels like it doesn't make sence to what he tries to acomplish at times. Like survivorman on extacy.
They are both funny, ray is always eating crap and makes it out as if it tastes great whilst on the other hand bear eats crap and says it tastes like shit.....
Me 2 both. They have different style, Grylls is more like an adventure, Mears is more informative and historical background. Well, Mears look like he is always at home having good time in the backyard; Grylls look like he is always sent to hell, trying to get out alive.
After three days in the bush with Bear you'd have two shattered ankles (after wiping out while running at top speed down a rock scree) and be reduced to drinking your own p**s while grubbing in the dirt for worms and insects. After three days in the bush with Ray you'd be sitting warm and cozy in an 8x10 log cabin feasting on venison tenderloin roasted over the fire and served on a bed of wild mushrooms.
@madaxe606 no survival is survival, sometime you just only have enough resources for one or the other, pick wisely and learn the cozy and the gritty mate~
Ray: Always ends up with a nice shelter and wakes up dry and well rested, can live indefinitely in the wild, befriends tribesmen and forms a long lasting relationship.
Bear: Always wakes up wet and miserable, Drinks urine and eats faecal matter (the latter being infested with pathogens), kills animals on tv for entertainment purposes, gets rescued within the hour and spends the night in a hotel. He fell into a hole in the ground in Ireland and the camera man had to give him a hand to get out..

@MrNomad81 Amen!!! I live in northern Michigan ,USA and the environment is basically the same as yours i imagine. People make winter wilderness survival videos and talk about sleeping out in 30 degree weather. That's not cold!!! Folks around hear are still wearing T-shirts and shorts at 30 degrees.

Bear is more of an extremist. He gets in situations that people might be in and he shows how to survive in it. While Ray Mears is a typical boyscout that will show you how to build your own mansion with an ax and a can of tuna.

STOP COMPARING !!! THEY BOTH ROCK AND SHOW HOW YOU CAN survive in harsh places, I think we should look up to them both instead of bring one down, AND SO WHAT IF HE DRINK HIS OWN PISS??? IF ITS GONA HELP YOU LIVE THEN HELL YES I WOULD. stop bitching you crazed fan boys, bear grylls and ray mears ftw

@shoooshify
Just so you know.
Urine is mostly water but this does not mean it can replace H2O. In addition to the water content, urine contains other things like nitrogen, potassium, sodium and impurities which is why its salty. If you have no water & your drinking urine, then all the impurities that your body is expelling are put back in. This can cause serious problems in the long run with your kidneys and liver.
Drink urine...no thanks, not me. Plenty of other options out there.

98% of modern people could never survive alone in the wild. Most people today haveno idea how to make a fire, much less how to skin, dress and cook any sort of wild game to feed themselves. They could not catch the game in the first place. Death stalks a lost person in the wild from the first instant that peron is in the wild. they do not have days or weeks to live without proper skills. They have hours. Death comes mainly from dehydration and exposure to the elements.

Bear is better than Ray because Ray uses axes and other tools while Bear usually only have a pocket knife, clothes on his back, and some rope.
However, overall, the Survivor Man is better than both because he survives in areas for a whole week without a camera crew.

ray and bear are doing complete different stuff.
bear is using anything the nature offers or humans garbage whatever to survive.
ray is following old traditions and keep them intact, like building canoes.
both doing survival stuff on different aproaches.
stoneyharrieXeve 1 year ago
Bear is hard as fuck, HOWEVER.. he's no survivalist. He's on tv for those people who are addicted to hyped up reality tv and constant stimulation. He does things you should never, ever do in a survival situation. Ray is smart, calculating, knowlegeable, and informative. Ray wins, easy, every time. But I wouldnt wanna fight Bear...

They both have the skills, Grylls is tied to the infamous hollywood sound byte/ drama between commercials format. So, he is able to only give an outline. Mears, I have only seen here, is able to do a subject justice.

i like both Ray and Bear but prefer Ray, as he is more true to what he does. i have dvds of both & you can tell when things arent properly done with Bear, 1 i can think of is when Bear is going down a wild river holding onto a log, but when he gets out you nottice that hes actually wearing a lifejacket under his jumper that he wasnt wearing when he first got in. its on dvd you can check it out
if that was Ray he would just build a proper raft or find a safer route, for that reason i prefer Ray

fudgelord67 1 year ago
judging by the show is not helping anyway. They are both set up differently. But I think they both are extremely good in what they do. Grylls is an advanture seeker, Mears is a survival men. When you truly survive you just sit down and gather food. No need to climb mountains and jump huge cliffs. But then again, the show is not a good thing to base your opinion on. I think they both would do somewhat the same if they would be thrown in a real survival situation.

@gazbradshaw Hey Gaz why is it, as a para you are so into bending blokes over? I thought you would be into more manly pursuits. I always thought the Para Regiment and SAS Regiment were relatively small elite units. It appears they must be huge units as they seem to have thousands people claiming to be ex-members.

Mears is too chubby to last out in the bush for long. That is unless he had his 500lbs of equipment you always see him with. Might as well do the shows in his back yard.

After three days in the bush with Bear you'd have two shattered ankles (after wiping out while running at top speed down a rock scree) and be reduced to drinking your own p**s while grubbing in the dirt for worms and insects. After three days in the bush with Ray you'd be sitting warm and cozy in an 8x10 log cabin feasting on venison tenderloin roasted over the fire and served on a bed of wild mushrooms.
