  • i have so much respect for this man. he is a true survivalist! he goes out to some sort of spot, for a week, with few supplies, and a bunch of cameras. there is always the chance he will die. he is Amazing!

  • its a dry place? look behind u dumbass theres a river

  • @Thesoulreplay You only drink running water, DUMB ASS.

  • @threemusketeertrio you must of not watched his other episodes? idiot you can drink any type of water without salt you got to boil it ....

  • @Thesoulreplay Alright, well maybe he didn't want to spend too much time, so there is some ice, Solid and a liquid when it melts, and also its more safer. And maybe he just wanted to show his viewers what to do when you only got snow. so............................­.....

  • @threemusketeertrio alright and i didn't say he should drink that water lmfao when he said its a very dry place i said look behind u dumbass theres are river or some sort of water channel lmfao how is that dry?LOl

  • @Thesoulreplay the world's driest place in the world is dry, that is why it gots it title from, but anyway.... even though it is called the driest place in the world, right to the west of it is an ocean? but yet it is still called the driest place in the world so.... Les, i would say that he is not a dumbass

  • Reminds me of the Gears of War 2 achievement: Never eat red snow =P

  • Bear says if you piss on it, it makes lemon water ice. 

  • @BigBroBoomer I really like Bear and all kind of stuf he eats but he sleeps in a hotel at night :'l watch a interview on youtube if youd dont believe it.

    This is way more real and therefore in my opinion more fun to watch

  • @BigBroBoomer

    Actually.... going one step beyond the other answer you got:

    Apart from the fact that Bear faked it (which is the least of my concerns), he also routinely gives bad advice. And by bad I mean uneccessarily dangerous. He was even caught using concealed equipment to perform dangerous moves that he is pretending are ok for you to do.

    He is a ratings whore. One day someone will follow his advice and die. I am sure though he will be thoroughly entertained all the way to his death.

  • @BigBroBoomer It was revealed awhile ago that Bear slept in hotels/motels, ate real food and didn't actually spend any time out in the wild except with the crew to film for the day. Nothing to do with suspicion, they came out and admitted it that the show is just for survival tactics not actual survival.

  • lol

  • FUCK man this show is very awesome, but I watch it baked occasionally and it makes me munch VEEEEEEERY hard ahha.

  • @exow2 20 $ says u were ripped when u wrote that ahhaa.

  • @yabodmon lmao

  • I peed right there.

  • esmejor aprueba de todo esto es una mierda

  • survivor man rules bear is fake he has a camera crew which means they have a

    steak right behind the camera when there

    finished les carrys his own camera stuff

    with him i love the show

  • Les and Bear have two different shows with two different objectives. The point of Survivorman is to show its audience how man survives by himself; the point of Man vs. Wild, on the other hand, is to demonstrate what one should do should one face the worst of dangers in the wild. To say one is better or worse than the other is capricious and juvenile, so try to look past the concept of the show you want to watch, and instead concentrate on what you are ACTUALLY watching.

  • @jrr2146 - My point is not to bash Bear because obviously he is very capable. However, your characterization of Man vs. Wild is a bit generous. Originally the show WAS presented as a man surviving by himself. The NAME of the show implies that. The early shows have the look of a guy filming himself and they took great pains to never mention a camera crew. The new "transparency" format came only when Discovery was caught red handed and had no choice but to fess up to misleading people.

  • @ideastoday what happened with discovery?

  • everyone talks shit bout Bear being fake but i would like to see yall people in here attempt to do half the things that crazy son of a bitch is doin. none of yall would make it. even if he is jus a few miles away from a hotel. the point is, this is youtube watch the video and move on. thank you for you time lol

  • les is better than bear!

  • dont hate on les. hes a fucking boss

  • lol he says everything tastes good

  • check out Brian The Adventurer. Look it up in the youtube search.

  • i hate eay snow because its taste like mineral water, and i hate that !

  • you dont eat snow. it gives you mouth ulcers. and lowers your body temperature. les is good, but bear is the real genius and man wild is more fun to watch. he takes some serious risks.

  • That depends where you are eating snow. I ate a lot of snow in Ontario when I was a kid and I didn't get mouth ulcers. In Siberia it is so cold so that is why you should eat snow in there. In North America it is ok to eat some snow.

  • Les Stroud is genuine, and is actually enduring out in the wild. Bear Grylls might be fun to watch with his fancy tricks and all, but he's a fake. He has a crew helping him with tasks impossible to accomplish alone, and he doesn't even spend every night out in the wild like he tries fooling us to think. Say what you want about the snow eating, but Les survived the seven days of that episode nonetheless.

  • bear has climbed mount everest.

    les stroud doesnt understand survival like that.

    and theres a difference between surviving in the wild and demonstrating survival techniques.

    grylls trained with the SAS and the french foregin legion. all les does it sit around his camp eating food and being a pussy.

  • What does climbing Everest have to do with surviving? Climbing Everest is more of a sport man, don't even bring that up. Les is actually surviving, that's the point of the show, you obviously missed it because you are so caught up in fake TV realities and special effects that reality itself is too boring for you I'm guessing? Les Stroud isn't trying to be a total badass rolling around and sky diving into wilderness like Bear he's just keeping it real to educate others about SURVIVING.

  • are you seriously suggesting that climbing mount everest isn't survival?

  • no its climbing a mountain... with food and shelter

  • you are incredibly stupid. shelter on mount everest? stop embarrassing yourself.

  • its called a tent you cock

  • haha. surely your not suggesting that a tent is to be considered shelter on mount everest?

  • YEAH I AM fAGGOT BECAUSE IT IS

  • hahaha

  • Actually it is. There was a documentary of scientist who climbed the mountain on an expedition, that I watched in my anthropology class. Guess what they slept in at night? Yeah a tent.

  • french= girl scouts

  • true. but so are americans

  • Then why does Bear need 20 people to come with him?

    Or to stay in hotels after each show?

  • ya, it's much riskier to go out in the wild with a film/safety crew then it is to go out alone.

    You're right Bear does take more risks, with his 5 crews and hotels.

    ur a dumbass

  • bear skydives for everyepisode. jumps into a frozen lake in siberia.

    les' greatest moment was when he caught a few fish

  • well then he should be a stuntman. or perhaps a butcher.

    not a "survival expert"

  • good for him, but all his stunts coulnt save him from death alone in the wild.

  • bear is fake and has a crew

  • He's not "fake," dumb ass. He stays one night in the wild, showing you how to set up camp and make shelter. He shows you what to hunt for, and the dangers of the terrian. All with a knife and flint.

  • lmao, Dont name call. Its youtube.

    The shows tries to give the illusion that he is miles into the woods and must find a way out.. while in reality he is normally just off of a road. They also state that his crew only helps in "emergency situations", although they have helped and interfered in many episodes.

    That sure does sound fake compared to les,

    Not that I don't like the guy, its just not what the show tried to make it out to be. Especially in the beginning.

  • I remember watching survivorman. He is honest enough to know when he is in trouble. It's a shame people value "success" over honesty, even when said success is false.

    For example, I remember watching man vs. wild and the guy just happened onto a perfectly made wooden raft...

    That made me lose all interest and faith in man vs. wild. It's a complete joke, whatever that guy needs he will just "happen" onto. The fact that the guy on man vs. wild never "fails" is convincing enough.

  • mmmhhh... snow, but seriusly eating snow is bad for you system it takes more heat to melt the sh it than it dose to just melt it in a pot or a bag or over a fire in a pot! so how do you like that, and iv'e been in that kinda place it's dose suck but you can have a snow fight with a tree and then piss on it

  • yumm....snow....so...good.....­

  • Really? I was thinking about eating that snow with all that shit all over it. This guy is a fucking joke.

  • I love how everyone on here are expert survivors...but, then again...WHO'S THE ONE WITH THE SHOW!?

  • @LDKBBAB lived in the eastern hill of kentucky my whole life pal, having a show means shit. I bet i could take les out to the top of one of these hills or swamps and he would be asking me for advice.

  • @AppleSoldier You poor soul...Your sister must be your mom and most likely grandma, too.

  • wtf? there's a pond behind him

  • not distilled water , snow water is very healthy :)

  • if u watch the episode then u know that the pond is salt water lake.

  • they taught us that in hunters education but he wasnt really in a dire situation so it dosn't really matter that he ate the snow

  • Eating snow is one of the worst things you can do. making you cold and even more dehydrated. you have to melt it first.

  • You're right, but it DOES get you hydrated, since it's made of water.

    But you should only eat it if there is no other choice.

  • it takes more water from your body t melt the snow and use it than it provides for you

  • Oh that's weird, in one of Les' shows he said that it gets you hydrated, and gives you the energy to keep going.

  • opposing ideas i guess

  • If you worked all day eating snow can help you stop sweating. If you sweat you die like les said.

  • @Casperius2 why is that statement true anyway? I kinda understand why but not w whole lot like you loose your body water?

  • @Casperius2 yet my gym teacher still forced me to do a lap around the gym....

  • I just watch the show to see him get injured and possibly get mauled or die by starvation. He rarely catches anything in the wild, gives up easily and teaches you how NOT to survive in the wild.

  • But his show is probably the truth. Bear Grylls is more about entertainment.

    Their probably are a LOT of survival situations where even an expert would be SOL. A lot of martial artists/fighters will tell you that there many situations where you can only run away to save yourself also. It's more fun to see the truth of these situations than phony entertainment, at least to me.

  • No, I see what you're saying, but god man, it's just so frustrating to watch him. But I don't hate the show...eh whatever....he's trying.

  • i like this guy, but have you watched him on tv? he moans constantly, about the weather, the fact he is alone, that he has to carry so much equipment and treck back and forth picking up the cameras. i have never heard someone moan so much on a tv program. if he doesn't like doing it then why the hell is he doing it? moaning faced git.

  • haha well said jamesy. oh yeah, we all know bear grylls is superior! hes more to the point and doesnt moan.

  • he also is a fake

  • You should NEVER eat snow directly. It will sure burn your mouth. Better put snow into the bottle, stick it under your clothes and wait until it gets melted with your body heat.

  • burn your mouth? you shouldn't eat it because it cools your body down too much

  • Bear Grylls knows NOTHING about survival!

  • He knows alot more that Pansyman here. Atleast bear grylls has to get his own way out of trouble, while showing us vital things to save us if we were in the same scenario, instead of spending 7 days in wilderness doing nothing and whinging.

  • No.. Bear knows nothing.. He said something on one of his shows and I was like WOW, that's crazy.. and then I did some research on it and I found out if you did it, their was a possibility of getting sick or dieing.

  • "Ugh, I've got to carry all these cameras" "Ow i just hurt myself doing something easy" "wah wah wah"

    All things Survivorman says.

  • Oh wow, Bear needs a million people around him, oh but Les doesn't need shit.

    How about we stop fighting and shut up.

  • To TheFrozenAlchemist41:

    1:He never says any of that.

    2:Lets see you try and survive in the wild you stupid bitch.

  • hahahaha, you're joking right!?

    Bear hasn't been in trouble since he started his show.

    do you not watch the credits?

    four to five man camera/sound team, and a specifically trained rope master.

  • well at least we now know brittish people like your country

  • wait- there was a pond behind him

  • That snow is much cleaner than a random pond with dead rodents and stuff in it. :p

  • he was saying it as if you didnt have water and it was your last resort cause you burn a lot of energy trying to warm up the snow and melt it

  • snow can be much much cleaner than bug infested waters

  • lol he talks about not having water and there is a lot behind him. should've boiled the water instead of eating the snow

  • it isnt only on discovery, it's on science channel too

  • theres a pool of water right beside you just boil it and your good to go...

  • well, I'm sure he's hot. Boiled water sounds like a terrible choice for quenching thirst in the presence of snow, and on top of that, despite being boiled, looks like it might have a foul taste judging from the size.

  • For sake of argument, thats a great way to get sick off toxins or get botulism. Filter + Chlorine/Iodine > Filter + Boiling > Boiling > Filter.

    At any rate, eating clean snow is still safer than boiled water.

  • Never eat snow, let melt first.

  • dude in that case since it was summer and about 80-90 degrees every day, he'd be alright

  • It is only of concern if ithe day is cold. Otherwise, if the weather's very warm, eating snow is just like having a tasteless slush/granita. Call it what you want. Otherwise you can always pack the snow in a bottle or something (if you have one) and carry it on your backpack while letting it melt in the sun. I've done that a few times.

  • In hot weather, it's not a big deal.

  • Les rocks. =) He is the real deal, unlike some others out there.

  • les actually does what he says he does. he lives in the wild and survives in the wild alone. Bear stays at hotels, has food, water and whatever else he needs provided by his film crew. search " man vs. hotel" on youtube to see exactly what bear grylls is all about.

  • is this dick actually eating snow ?

    it won't do you much good in the mountains, and every begginer knows it.

  • yes hes eating snow you dumb fuck. how do you not know hes showing it for demonstration purposes. how can you question what he does Hes a EXPERT and you are shit. simple as that.

  • LES is the MAN I have and always will take him over man vs wild ANYDAY les has been around wayyyyyy nefore that fuck tard on man vs wild. Since the early ninties at least not on television then. And he is soo much more intelligent alot of the ting man vs wild does is mopre dangerous plus man vs wild has a camera crew Les DOESNT.

  • ummmm he has water right behind him

  • Yes, but I think the point of him showing this is so you'll learn something new.

  • yeah its well known by now man vs wild isnt a authentic as survivorman, man vs wild bear, that guy bear doesnt actually do most of his presentations in the wild, he has quite a few people following him, at the very least he has a camera man, a boom mike operator (ive seen the shadows), and a survival expert from the area. its also been repeatedly said that he usually has a base camp set or transportation waiting to take him to a house, motel. very unauthentic in comparison

  • yeah he doesnt claim to be surviving like les does....thats peoples perception....hes just show what to do in survival situations

  • OMG!

    ii wish ppl would stop saying everything is fake

    SO WUHT IF IT IS!?!

    they still get paid nd yu still watch the shows

  • You're fucking stupid.

    Please never comment on any video ever again. Thanks.

  • uhm, dont comment me ever again. thanks

    asshole

  • You're an idiot.

    "OMG!

    ii wish ppl would stop saying everything is fake

    SO WUHT IF IT IS!?!

    they still get paid nd yu still watch the shows "

    Like, are you fucking serious?

  • uhm, yes i am serious but i was not talkin to yu

    r u fuqqin serious gettin all upset for no reason???

    lmao, i swear youtube has some real LOSERS online

  • uhm, yu make absolutely no sense..

    yu see how many 'thumbs downs' yu have, they're not from me which means that yur a weirdo.

    so BYE BYE WEIRDO!!!! im done feeding into yur weirdo crap... have a nice time getting upset on youtube while i actually do something productive with my life

    ta-ta

  • 8 thumbs down, a few more than 2...

    now go bother someone else.

    oh, and it's 'down' syndrome, not 'downs'

    and you can't tell how dumb or smart I am from a few comments, but I can tell that you are very ignorant, and it is ignorant people who make it hard for anyone to have a stress-free life.

    and I don't need to join your mom in a strip club, i'll do just fine in my career (and models are obviously not ugly, not that you can tell from my one pic of half of my face) so thnx

  • At time of posting I had 2. You fail.

    Downs and down, are both acceptable. You fail.

    I can tell very well that you're dumb from a few comments. You fail.

    By your logic, you can't judge people based off a few comments, but then go and call me ignorant? You fail.

    I am not ignorant, and my mom doesn't work in a strip club, false insults will not offend me. You fail.

    Most models are no better looking than average. Once again, you fail.

  • how many survivorman episodes are there?

  • I think survivorman has 23 episodes, but he's done other things like "Off the Grid", but I'm looking forward to his new series, though I have no clue what it's called or when it starts.

  • he has something on YTV called "survive this"

    but i think its only on in Canada... this only matters if you live outside of Canada. However if you do live here, it on on Tuesdays at 7:30 on YTV.. its not really about him but more about teens trying to survive but he appears 3 or 4 times throughout the show

  • Well I heard that he will be doing another show. It was hinted at on the last ep. of Survivorman when he said, "Survival is only the beginning...", then on his blog on his site mentions that he will be doing something new, so I'm assuming something new will be coming to the Discovery Channel... I could be wrong though.

  • i hope that you aren't wrong

  • Same here :)

  • let me tell u all..... man vs wild isnt as good as survivor man because this guy only has himself and a camera.....bear on man vs wild has himself and a camera crew....... plus he just magically has shit appear at times..... so yeah

  • les rules im huge fan

  • Bear could kill you with that bowie he carries around easy enough and Les would survive off of your carcass for a week! They are both very good at what they do!

  • Bear is a TV presentor showing off what professionals tell him to, didnt you see his behind the scenes episode? it also explains that he doesn't actually survive for a week but rather show people how to survive IF they get in such situations

  • youtube search:

    survivormann promo

  • survivorman is the best. man vs wild is so stupid they have a camera crew. they are cheep the crew gives him food. survivorman has to eat other stuff from the wild.

  • Comment removed

  • after he wakes up from the hotel room to shoot the second part to yet another lie?

  • its so awesome how he makes this disgusting crap he eats look good lol

  • er is ok i mean his survivl show isnt really a survivor show since he has a crew its just for entertainment sake. but Les knows how he his own cameras by himself and does everything himself. bears shows sucks he is usaully less then 100 meters away from civilization but acts likes its miles and miles away stranded alone. u have a camera crew to help u, some survival

  • Les rules!

  • It's funny, he says "Cold water, oh yeah, go's down nicely in very dry place" but theres a lake behind him. lol. helpful vid though.

  • Exactly what my brother said. LOL. But the lake looks very dirty. Nothing but some cold CLEAN snow.

  • The lake could have parasites, where the snow is just rain water really....

  • the fact between Bear and survivorman is that Bear, is teaching you how to sruvive and FIND a way out

    and survivorman is all alone and is teaching you HOW to sruvive about 7 days with very usefull tips

    Bear has his entire crew behind him so he could handle well in tight situations

  • I like both shows, but I prefer Survivorman, its more realistic. I find Bear sometimes does things just to do em, like "Watch me scale this waterfall!" for no apparent reason, which serves no purpose at all for an actual person trying to survive. I love the areas he goes to, so tropical and cool. But Survivorman I actually learn stuff.

    Because of him I now know how to start a campfire with a lighter with no lighter fluid left in it.

  • yeah AND Bear is using a....wait.... hows it called? that stone that he starts fires!While survivorman uses whatever the nature gives him

  • I don't think I've seen this episode. Anyone know where he is here?

  • colorado rockies, just finished watching it

  • STOP ARGUING ABOUT WHO IS BETTER, JUST ENJOY THE DAMN SHOW, VICE VERSA, JESUS CHRIST! Y'all argue like a bunch of bitches, proving who is better. Both of them are doing the same thing, proving how to survive, who the fuck cares who does it better?

  • haah its like he dies from dehyrdation and falls in a clean spring water lake

  • the red tinge is actually algae

  • i love this show ..its fuckin wikkid

  • this man is an idiot if you eat snow it dehydrates you it is not a source of water unless you melt it.

  • he melts it in his mouth!

  • its going to turn to water almost instantly when it goes in you're mouth

  • sorry for my ignorance but what's wrong with red snow? is it blood or something?

  • Lmao. What the heck do you think is wrong with it. It might be chemicals, it might be harmful products in the snow. Something like that you know. It's not blood obviously.

  • How do you know it's not blood? Why would there be chemicals on the mountaintop? I though it would be some naturally ocurring phenomenon like red tide or something.

  • "Red Snow" or "Watermelon Snow" is snow with a cold-tolerant algae and would be the same as eating certain "bad" mushrooms. Vomit, diarrhea, or even death can result in eating red snow in large amounts.

  • That's interesting. Thanks for the informative answer.

  • it means it's dirty

  • bear would be dead wihout his crew..maybe

  • lmao in your dreams, he climbed mt.Everest before he was 20, he was in the SAS, legion and is one of the top ranked survival experts in the world

  • prove it

  • are you talking about man vs wild

    ?

  • suvivorman is alone, and bear has his crew he is a puss for sure.

  • Read you shit on bear before you talk shit idiot

  • are u fuckin retarted bear grylls is a lil bitch compared to les. les could out stand bear in a survival situation anyday any time

  • As i said 2 tci67, maybe you should read some info on bear before you look like an idiot

  • bear is fake sorry

  • he knows stuff, but Man Vs. Wild is hardcore-as i said, he knows stuff, i like this guy too, and cool as water in a very dry place..? lol

  • man vs wild dont know his stuff, but he is "hardcoore"

  • ya but you never know what could that water contains ? his a pro so he knows what he was doing after all there is no camara crew with him they only drop him off in the area than they live him alone there i heard and oh ya he has a flare with him just incase if his about to die or something goes wrong he use it so his crew can come and pick him up .

  • he says mm cold water in a very dry place. lol theres a river right behind him

  • the river behind is probably infested with sht cuz its stagnant and still. Only safe water is from running streams

  • The snow had a reddish tinge. I think that's why he picked that spot. Plus if the snow has stuff on it, then the water has stuff in it (as pk4lyfe123 said), and you can't scrape that off like you can do with snow.

  • lol, well maybe he was meaning the enviroment he was in?
