Bear grills is a legend,
Yes, he is extreme, but thats exactly the point. he's teaching you how to survive without all the nicety's like ray mears. Bear was also voted best survivalist,

Ray mears spends 4 hours making a bleedin oven to cook the piece of meet a farmer left out for him, in which time he could have been tabbing or doing something that would help his rescue in a situation where he was lost.

Like a hotel room for example?

No wait...

Have to hand it to Bear, it takes real nerve to make the kind of survival shows he does, and then turn in his hotel receipts to the Expenses department afterwards.

jill_valentine · 24-07-2009 01:13AM

Dammit, if only I hadn't paused to spellcheck.

Some British politicians should have payed attention to that particular episode

When you say tabbing you're not talking about acid are you? Coz as much fun as that sounds I doubt its usefulness in a survival situation. It would make great TV though.

Ray Mears, off his tits in the wilderness...

jill_valentine · 24-07-2009 01:48AM

I would honestly pay to see that.

NakedDex · 24-07-2009 01:49AM

Well he does seem to know wayyyyyy too much about wild mushrooms...

jill_valentine · 24-07-2009 01:52AM

That's just it though.

Bear says "Blahblahblah, this is exactly what you need to do to survive when you're dangling off a rock in the arctic".
Ray Mears says "Just don't go to the f*cking arctic. Stay here and make a pie!"

Now, which of these two men has demonstrated the keener survival instinct?

Ask anybody to choose one of two survival expert type as a mentor, and I don't think I'd be alone in picking the comfortably chubby one.

Thats exactly my point, he shows you how to survive in a desperate situation. he does it, not just tells ya how to do it. he can go to his hotel because he isnt in a life or death situation. but if you were you would know what to do.

jill_valentine · 24-07-2009 01:58AM

Ray Mears taught me how to make an ocarina out of a stick.

Bear Grylls can go to hell.

Stercus Accidit · 24-07-2009 01:58AM

He should just sit in a comfy leather armchair, by the fire smoking a pipe then, and just tell us how to act in these situations, and forget the façade.

He could even drink a nice brandy.

Feck him, if ever I go camping, its Ray Mears advice I'd want, not extreem yogi bear bbq grills. I know who I'd prefer a pint with and all, wee bear would shyte on all night about how hardcore he is, have too many drinks, get sick on himself, and need to go home early.

Peh.

Wow, that really sounds like Ray Mears, lol
hes no survivalist, hes in terrible shape, he may be able to live off the land but that doesn't mean sh1t in a proper survival situation. bear can make rappelling harnesss from vines for jaysis sake, of course hes leet.,

Spetzcong · 24-07-2009 02:39AM

Nah bollocks, they're both crap. Macguyver, that's who you want in a survival situation. Failing that I'll take Ray Mears, but only so he can point out which mushrooms I need to eat for the all night super amazing mountain party.

I hear you can survive for 28 days eating and drinking nothing but hallucinations.

He's tubby. Once again, this is a good sign considering his line of work. Never get a tattoo from somebody with no tattoos, never take survival instructions from an emaciated rickets victim.

As for survival situations, I'd say he had a lively time of it during that helicopter crash a while back...

Ever been to college?

Gizmodeon · 24-07-2009 04:10AM

wow,
all the crazyness just leaks out in this thread after midnight

jill_valentine · 24-07-2009 04:17AM

'Cause we don't sleep, of course.

See title.

Gizmodeon · 24-07-2009 04:41AM

I do declare
Touche would be the appropriate term :P
otherwise lol would do it

oddly enough yes, got a degree out of it too. Now that you mention it, let me rephrase my previous statement.

I hear that you can survive for 28 days eating and drinking nothing but hallucinations and get a degree in journalism from a semi-reputable third level institution, but you'll still end up on the dole in a couple of years, and mildly addicted to substances...

"IVE been dropped more than a kilometer off shore, all of a sudden i feel very alone"(except for that camera man beside me) when he did that i remeber hearing he did a lot of his filming 5 minutes from some main road, there was 2 threads about this man being a fraud in AH and TV but i cant remember the names now, searching should bring them up

I was also amazed at how throughout the programme he managed to walk from the Burren to Donegal, back to the Burren, and then down south without hitting a road, meeting another person, or coming across the Mr.Whippy van that was around the bend

Yep i used to climb down near that cliff face he was at. its not far from a road at all, but again, hes not in a life of death situation, hes showing you how to survive...

I was led to believe that survival WAS about life or death.

Stercus Accidit · 24-07-2009 12:42PM

Fcuking LOL.

How to survive in the west of Ireland = walk in any direction for 20-30 minutes and you will arrive at a pub.

Get drunk, fall asleep in a field.

Next week....

How to survive in the ghettos of Dublin 4, and like, their totally over priced hotels roish.

Can any responses be civilised please, try to preserve people's sanity

Shiva · 24-07-2009 01:24PM

Actually, if there is going to be a "discussion" about this, can it please be done in a separate thread?

I'd rather not see this thread locked, even for a short time.

No suprises. A certain someone who will remain nameless has a long standing association with Leinster Rifle and Pistol Club.

A certain someone who claims to have nothing to do with the operation of the IASRA committee as far as I recall.
