bear grylls is the s**t
literally
bear grylls is the s**td
Les Stroud camps there alone for a week.
meh. I like both shows but I like Man Vs. Wild better…
…woah, I can feel some flames coming…
Nope…to each there own.
dam right!
*damn
What did one fish say to the other when they ran into a wall?
Dam.
here you can have my internetz
*their
lol holy god damn did someone on an website’s comments section SERIOUSLY just say “to each their own” about someone elses opinion?!?!?!?!? :O and then others agreed???
call the presses!
Bear is annoying. Les is the man.
But he does look like Daniel Negreanu, Eh?
Les is cool when it comes to surviving, but Bear is hardcore.
Look Bear up on Wikipedia. He doesn’t need a safety crew. He could do it by himself.
I wrote his Wikipedia article. Made the whole thing up. He doesn’t really exist.
I wrote your comment, sorry, you don’t exist either.
holy s**t conspiracy!! when russians with bow ties come to your door shoot and move i repeat shoot and move!!
FAIL
I get in trouble by my profs. when I cite wikipedia.
Follow the sources. Site those instead.
*Cite
i agree, bear is a bad ass man. I love the show but the post is really funny…
They’re very different. I like both shows equally for different reasons. And if you watch the behind the scenes stuff about Bear’s safety crew… it’s no joke what they go through along with him.
Also how did my comment go from first to second?
with magic, my friend.
…while periodically dropping his cameras, hiking away from them and hiking back just to get a good shot because he doesn’t need the extra time or energy to survive
Les Stroud doesnt have a camera…he doesnt even have pants
BEAR GRYLLS
Needs no safety crew. He Gows into the wild alone and carries the camera with magic.
AND
I f**ked up the word goes.
Gows is now a real word also, from his magic.
Win
Les Stroud
brings no safety crew. he goes into the wild and actually carries the camera with raw man power.
He may have a safety crew but i’m pretty sure i saw him giving low-kicks to Jesus…
You’re getting mixed up with chuck norris. Only he can make his camera float along with him
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
If you really like Man Vs Wild, this will amuse you…
Fair warning, it’s a World of Warcraft Machinima parody.
damn s.a.s reject at lest ray mears teachs you how “respect” the land and to talk to the aburiganies
During his “rejected” SAS service, the man survived a fall from a plane with a defective parachute, which broke his back in 3 places. After recovering (Which he was told would not happen, BTW…) he went on to be the youngest Englishman to ever scale Mt. Everest (at 23 years old).
And you have done WHAT exactly that entitles you to be judgmental of him? (Besides murdering the English language, that is…)
*If this post is a duplicate, I apologize. My browser screwed up.*
I call bulls**t. SAS selections begin after a long and exemplary career in the Royal Marines or Army, with selection ages closer to 30 than 25. Besides, I find it hard to take a man seriously that has a rainbow knit hat with pom pom and his initials on it.
Call whatever you want. I know from experience that selection for US Army special forces (Green Berets) starts at E-4, and it is common for a soldier to enter service at age 18 as E-1 and be E-4 within 2 years. Faster with exemplary service.
I don’t honestly think the process is THAT much different for the SAS than for us over here.
Besides, he was a reservist. Maybe that makes a difference?
AND this does not have anything to do with my final question from above… What did “adam” do in his life that would make enable him to call any man an “SAS Reject”?
Guess what? You don’t need any special prerequisites to call a spade a spade.
Truth is truth, and it doesn’t matter if the person saying it is a basement dwelling 45 year old living with his parents or the 19 year old who rebuilt a flood ravaged village out of his own pocket and the sweat of his brow.
Sure. Anyone can state the truth.
But not everyone is qualified to KNOW the truth.
Lots of people recover just fine from broken backs. But no one says Grylls is _bad_. However, he does make his show as if he were out on his own when in fact he is out with a huge crew and occasional breaks at a hotel. Les on the other hand actually films himself and is completely alone, with just a radio to call for his crew which is generally quite far away.
It is the difference between being taken on a tour of a place by a crew of survivalists and going there yourself.
If I see any aburiganies, I’ll send them over to Mears. I doubt I will though. Can he talk to Aborigines if I find any?
“But no one says Grylls is _bad_.”
Not true.
YOU didn’t say it. But my comments were directed at another dufus who did say it, not you.
Essential life skills
Talk to the WHAT????
Mate, if you could even get past the entrance exams to UKSF, then you may have the right to insult someone who failed SAS training due to severe injury
Wtf is an “aburiganies”?
Is it anything like aboriginals? PS, I don’t think they like being called that. I believe they prefer indigenous people.
You, Adam, are obviously an education reject and have no right to call any one a reject for any reason.
Bear Grylls is like the son of Chuck Norris
Exactly. They’re both overrated motherf**kers.
Exactly. They’re both overrated wankers.
WIN
Say that to Chuck’s face. Dare you.
Sure! Just go find him and bring him here and I will. I’m sure he’s a very good martial artist, but he’s not as good as everyone says he is. For example, he could kick my ass, but so could lots of people, so that doesn’t say much.
Succesful troll is succesful
i dont give a rats ass wat you think about Grylls hes my hero and when your standed in the middle of a desert i hope you burn to death
Never, ever, leave your “standed” in the middle of the desert, ever.
You say that as if everyone gets stranded in a desert once in their life…
call him what you like, but you cant deny the fact hes the perfect man ;D
trust me, every girl would die to be his girlfriend.
and besides, someone who lives with their mom until there 22, and has only f**ked an inflatable doll has no right to judge.
haha yes this is the poster i made
Low blow.
And his camera crew, which goes in first to tape Bear walking dramatically..
Finally people are realizing his skills pale in comparison with Les Stroud!
Just a global fyi, captions in captions pics really aren’t funny.
Another global fyi, sweeping blanket pronouncements like that make you sound like an egotistical, pedagogical, ponce, especially when they are not true, so you can add ‘retarded monkey’ to the list as well.
I will agree, this one is not especially funny. The original is, even if it is a knockoff of a Chuck Norris joke.
Ugh, I hate this. Both Grylls and Stroud NEED safety crews. They are doing the show for the network and the network requires to have a safety crew. Just because Stroud makes it look like he’s alone, he actually isn’t ever “alone”, they both have people waiting for the chance that something happens…
Sorry I just hate these damn safety arguments for who is better.
Les has a “safety crew” that is at least several hours away. Bear Grylls has a safety crew nearby, then spends the night in a hotel.
Bear Grylls is about as much of a survivalist as Martha Stewart.
Don’t you dare speak bad of Martha!
Broke back, then climbed Everest. Did extremely well on SAS survival training. There’s a difference between being incapable, and fudging stuff you can actually do for the sake of good TV.
prolly broke his back going down the stairs, and edg, how do you know that he has a camera cew a few hours away (bear)?
Hey idiot. Les does do it alone. Before his show even existed he did a special to pitch for a show. During this ‘special’ filming no network even knew he was out there alone. Educate yourself.
Um, actually, the safety crew, as you call it, for Les is quite far away. If something went wrong, they would never even know about it until it was too late. In theory, he has a radio to call them in if it is necessary, but half the time he can’t get a signal, and the other half he doesn’t use it anyway. In one episode he was nearly cut off from getting back to them due to the weather (the dog sled episode).
Grylls, on the other hand, doesn’t even film himself. His crew is right there 24/7. Sure, you can do a survival show that way, but don’t pretend to be doing it the way Les does. I don’t even assert that Grylls _couldn’t_ survive just as well as Les; I only assert that his show is not an example of someone surviving, whereas Les’ is.
But that’s the whole point. He never says he IS surviving. Only that he is showing you HOW TO survive.
Yes but what if Les had a safety crew not shown on camera? Don’t always believe what you see. TV is made to entertain, not educate. Even the medias do that. So maybe he’s all alone, but maybe he’s got a whole crew behind him.
Any camera Les uses is always on some sort of stationary mount. It never moved nor follows him. In fact one shot was a long one of him setting up a camera, walking far away, then going back to get it.
Well, bottom line, either of them do some mindblowing shiat none of you basement goblins could ever come close to, even with a safety crew, stunt doubles, trick photography, and digital editing.
/thread
Lol… so? They come across as attention whores whatever they do.
Modesty is the way to go.
Les Stroud would get you out alive, if you didn’t die of boredom. Bear would get you killed, but it would be a helluva ride….
Thanks for the fun insight from another 11B.
This poster blows… You obviously don’t watch the show or behind the scenes episodes to see what really happens. You probably also don’t realize he spent quite a long time in the UK Special Forces. Your poster is a Fail.
Les Stroud doesn’t do Holiday Inn.
If he’s good enough to get his own survival show, why is there any questioning him?
Because it’s not true survival when you have a safety crew right there to hand you a Twinkie if you get hungry and can’t find food.
He likes to drink his own urine…
beginning of every man vs. wild.
“Now im going to show you how to survive in ”
he doesn’t say “im gonna survive”.
Bear grylls is a teacher. Les stroud is a performer. both are highly highly respecatble.
Stroud teaches too. Hell, he showed how to use a flare to light up a fire if one was needed.
*facepalm* there are actually ppl who think that TV is real apparently. Ofc he has a safety crew, ofc he has a camera team… what you expect? Someone getting mauled by a bear on TV?
but only if the bear is a man in a costume
what did you think that they would endanger a sas
I know for sure my tv is real. So are lots of shows on it, the news for example.
If you’re refering to Fox news you fail.
Les Stroud > Bear Grylls
Easily.
Man vs Wild is a gigantic load of nonsense. Bear regularly teaches insanely idiotic things to do, stunts for the purpose of drama that would be retarded to do in real life. He also stays in Hotels. He films in bushes that are a stone’s throw from civilization, literally, and pretends it’s in the wilderness.
Survivorman is way more realistic and Les Stroud is just generally a cooler, humbler dude with better knowledge.
Bear also makes very… peculiar… choices for hydration.
He’s still one of the people I want near me when zombie apocalyps kicks in…
IF YOU FIND YOURSELF LOST IN THE WILD JUST JUMP ONTO THE BACK OF A WILD HORSE AND RIDE BACK TO SAFETY.
Haha yeah
and if you fall in a frozen river make sure to have hand-grips before attempting to pull yourself out.
Also Bear’s advice if your in the arctic and fall through the ice: Take off your clothes and roll around in the snow. This ‘survival tip’ was shot down by every survivor expert out there. My neighbors retarded sun wouldn’t even do that.
They are not even comparable shows. MvW is shot to feel like the viewer is on an adventure with Bear, whereas Survivorman is a guy showing you how to survive.
Anyone who climbs a three hundred foot train trestle (MvW season 4, i think) when the valley it crosses gently slopes up a quarter mile away is not too concerned about survival; he’s doing it for entertainment pure and simple. And it’s very entertaining if you keep that in mind.
He’s still mor of a man than you are
With a support crew right there to bail him out?
No he isn’t.
dude, all of you are f**king rediculous… i can beleive you are all sitting here argueing over a stupid f**king pic, it’s a joke, chill out, now im going to go kick my own ass for sitting here long enought to read all of your pointless comments…..
-also kicks own ass for very same reasons-
Les doesn’t just “camp for a week”, he judges if it would be more beneficial to stay put or move and look for help. If you get stranded, it would be better to follow the advice that wouldn’t get you killed… Les Stroud all the way.
I coulda sworn the point of Bear’s show was to teach people survival skills.
Why would anyone risk death to teach someone something. I’m sure he could survive without the safety crew, but so could most of our ancestors, many people in these times, and some people that actually paid attention to these shows.
These are skills we are supposed to know anyway.
I’ve never seen Bear deal in long term survival, he deal with getting back to civilization as soon as possible.
Bear, put’s himself in unnecessary danger, and he explains what he does as survival instructions, what ever you do do not attempt ANY of his stunts in a survival or camping situation. As an example diving in a river to get to the other side of some rocks, that’s how you get killed in a river easly
…uhmmm…did you people ever though that Survivor man is staged?
cmon….there’s a possibility that Les…might have a safety crew…hidden behind the cameras…
besides..both shows is awesome..
If that were the case Les’ cameras would move far more than they do. Not counting the ones he mounts on a boom attache to himself.
Nobody’s more badass than Les Stroud – Survivorman… Canadian guy who goes out and “survives” for a week… all alone, films himself. Awesome show.
Yeah he actually takes his own cameras, walks out half a freakin mile, plants the cameras for diff angles. He’s kick ass.
Staged or not, Bear or Les,
I still like The Colony better.
/thread
I don’t care what people say, Bear might have camera crew but that enables him to do even crazier s**t then Stroud. Like parachuting into locations and swinging from Cranes! Stroud could never manage that!
Doing crazy s**t isn’t surviving.
Bear presents survival skills in the wild, while Les shows you how he survives in the wild.
True, Les is braver for enduring alone, but I find Bear’s show more entertaining, though.
It’s kind of illegal for him not to have one, and no one is that suicidal O_o also, he eats freakin’ bugs >.< Saftey crew or not, that takes alot. Lets see you go out and eat a scorpian or two.
Been there. Done that.
Not Tasty. I respect the man for more than his ability to eat things with more than 4 legs though.
What about things with less than 4 legs? Long pig anyone?
While it’s true Bear has a safety crew along with him (it’s been proved and said over and over), every reality show has a little of fake. In an episode of a ghost-catching show (don’t remember the name but their originality is that they don’t always conclude there’s a ghost), a chair flew right across the room. MANY people commented saying that you could see a string. So even that one wasn’t 100% real and it was the closest.
In conclusion, either someone makes a 100% real show or we enjoy them as they are.
Bear is a fraud, plenty of videos proving it. Many of his dangerous areas are dangerously close to civilization, like walking distance, or aren’t even dangerous at all. Look up his little volcano excursion being exposed.
Oh, and did you know Bear isn’t nor ever was his name? It was made to make him sound more tough for the ratings.
It doesn’t matter. The point of the show is to teach, and that’s what they do. The show isn’t really about “thrills of watching a man do dangerous stuff!”. That’s just a side effect.
but nobody can argue that dangerous stuff gets ratings… that and boobs
Bear Grylls is a pretentious git.
Gotta say it because I like Bear. He has a wife and two young children. I’m not pissed off at a man who takes precautions because, oh yeah, his life is not only his own. What happens to him has a major effect on the lives of his loved ones and he’s smart enough to know that just because he knows a good deal about survival doesn’t mean he should gamble with something like that.
The man recovered from a broken back that could have prevented him from walking again (and there was a lot of concern it would), worked hard to rehab his body and get strong again, and climbed to the top of Everest less than two years after breaking his back. It’s not fun to admit, but something tells me very few of us could manage that.
Stop whining that a man with a family is responsible enough to take some precautions.
With his safety crew that keeps the camera safe and doesn’t give Bear a harness, or any safety equipment, or indeed any help. Because in reality they are a camera crew. LOL.
Bear doesn’t afraid afraid of anything. Most of the time his ‘stunts’ are standard actions anyone would have to take in those situations. Let’s see you lot chimney-climb a 300ft ravine with no harnesses without s**tting your keks ^^
second guy is for the win!!lol
I believe the bottom line is…What the f**k have any of you achieved? Bear has passed SAS selection, climbed everest and crossed the North Atlantic on an open-rigid inflatable boat, just to name a few. I guess you’re qualified to criticise as so many of you can claim such accomplishments, right? Oh no thats right, jack s**t. As said before…THEY BOTH REQUIRE SAFETY CREWS ON THE GROUNDS OF HEALTH AND SAFETY, ORGANISED BY THEIR PRODUCTION COMPANY. End of story. Thank you and f**k off.
hi bear grylls
i m ur good friend
pls send me some survival tips of my E-mail id
akshay.arya65@gmail.com
I prefer Les more. His seems more focused on the actual experience, why Bear likes to glmaourize and make it flashy, showing off. But I’d watch either. It just bothers me when he parachutes into each locatin with a camera crew and starts talking about how tough it is for him.
Thank you, I have just been searching for information about this topic for a while and yours is the best I have came upon so far. But, what in regards to the conclusion? Are you certain about the source?
