Top 10 manliest moments from man vs wild. http://www.linkognito.com/b.php?b=259 |
. That episode made me want to vomit

I love man vs. wild for its comedic value. If someone, who was actually in a survival situation, did half the things that Grylis does in his show, they would be dead inside of 4 hours. He is always jumping off something, into something, over something, etc.., Mark my words, his "luck" will run out some day. Don't get me wrong, I wish him no harm, but even the best can slip up. |
| Les stroud is the best of the two in my view. Bear has some good points but you have got to pick and choose what you take from him or you will kill yourself sooner than later. All the stuff Bear does you can do but you are taking more of a risk than if you follow Les stroud's tactics. I watch Les like a hawk and soak up everything he does. |
Is that because Bear would Kick Your Butt if you tried to eat him?  That being said, Les is da man. |
That was awesome, I was kind of thinking "don't do it man, you're going to hike over the next hill and find a nice flowing stream", sure as elephant shit, he hikes a ways further and what do you know... |
Thats what I told my girlfriend this weekend when we were watching Man Vs. Wild. I told one her day he is going to do something stupid(beyond what he already does), and is going to pay for it. |

The first episode I watched of Mav Vs Wild, I saw him floating/swimming in a white water river. He TOTALLY has a PFD on under his windbreaker. It was then that I knew the show was utter BS. Plus the camera shots of him descending down into the jungle canopy in a parachute. How in the hell did the camera man know where he was going to come down at? Answer, it was utter shit and totally staged. I mean, whats to stop the cameraman from having a rifle/shotgun slung along for those late night bear attacks. I know if I was his cameraman, I would sure as shit have a bear-gun/Lion-gun/cape buffalo-gun with me when filiming out in the middle of no-where....His show is about 15% somewhat useful survival content, 85% entertainment. |
Yeah, I saw that too. Needless to say, I am not a huge fan of this show or guy. The more and more episodes I've survived, the more and more holes I'm finding in this guys game...entertainment for those who's outdoor adventures amount to nothing more than lawn mowing. |
Only thing I can imagine is he'll go all "Empire Strikes Back". There will be an episode where he parachutes into the arctic tundra, kills a moose, and then guts it and climbs inside for warmth.

If you guys really believe that either les or bear are more than fronts for the camera, your kidding yourselves. Both of them have survival experts-consultants that inform them and tell them what to do in a given situation. Neither of them come up with all of that stuff on there own. The only difference is bear shows you how to get out the quickest way and les stays in the same place for 3-4 days and then decides to move on. But either way it's TV and don't always believe what you see....

No, the main difference is that Stroud is actually out there alone doing his thing, and Bear travels along with a camera crew who documents his every daredevil move. Even if Stroud has a survival expert on staff, the guy isn't out there with him while the show is being filmed. He's alone. |
It really doesn't matter if they have anybody with them or not, they BOTH are still getting survival advice from someone esle...That is all that I am saying and again, it is for TV, don't believe everything you see! |
