Would you head off, into the wilderness... With Bear Grylls?!

Hellz yeah I would.. We'd be making night traps for predators eating worms and killing crocodiles on the harshest terrain.. then I'd ride him in his sleep..

For those of you who don't know this living legend. Have a look here.

So.. Would you do it for a few days?

Doyler92 · 31-08-2010 12:14PM

No.

Hasmunch · 31-08-2010 12:16PM

I dont like eating faeces... so NO!

krudler · 31-08-2010 12:16PM

Hes a fraud, so no.

clived2 · 31-08-2010 12:16PM

Hell yes

Think of all those 5 star hotels you get to stay in

you're a chick right?

cynder · 31-08-2010 12:17PM

Yep, the only thing is i would probably die out there because there is not a hope i would kill anything except fish, and i would not eat anything raw except fruit n veg. I would go for the adventure....

landsleaving · 31-08-2010 12:17PM

I'd rather head off into the wilderness alone... or at least with someone who isn't so smug and irritating.

Also, I'd go to the ACTUAL wilderness.

EDIT: Is that just a white box for everyone else? Can't seem to embed youtube videos.

Jeboa Safari · 31-08-2010 12:18PM

Only if his cameraman was there too

Brendog · 31-08-2010 12:19PM

His brother, Wolf Stirfry, is much better

Prefer Wolf Stirfry to be honest.

*Looks up at Brendogs post*
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, I've entered the MATRIX.

Gummy Panda · 31-08-2010 12:25PM

I'd rather go into the wilderness with Brutus the bear

Meleftone · 31-08-2010 12:26PM

Give me Les Stroud or Ray Mears anyday...although if you like 5 star hotels by all means go with "Poo Bear".

Brendog · 31-08-2010 12:30PM

"Hello! My name is Bear Grylls. I'm gonna show you how to survive in increasingly less dangerous areas, while doing thing a survivalist wouldn't do"

" First we'll cross the vast desert of the Sahara with nothing but the clothes on our back, and a pocket knife. Stopping to examine everything that can kill me in detail."
"After a couple of seasons I'll show you how to survive if you happen to be 5 miles outside of glasgow. Like the Sahara, I'll be stopping to eat everything that can kill me, including berries, ivy and chipper food."

"I'll also show you how to scale cliffs larger than my nose and pretend to slip. When we get back to civilisation I'll then show you how to edit in a G note on a violin to make the scene tense!"

Da ya think hes done it with the bear?

youcancallmeal · 31-08-2010 12:32PM

I'd go anywhere with Bear Grylls!

Wibbs · 31-08-2010 12:32PM

Plus one on Ray Mears. None of this jumping around for him. Oh no. The lad likes his comfort. He doesnt just survive in the wild, he lives in it. He sets up a proper shelter, not just some lazy lash up of twigs, gets himself nice and snug and then gets a slap up meal together. Then whittles up a telly for entertainment. None of this, living in damp clothes, biting the heads of snakes, eating rotten sheep and drinking your own píss stuff of the Bear fella. I read somewhere oul Ray went off into some wilderness for a month and came out a few extra kilos heavier and he's not a scrawny bloke to start with. Nuff said really.

And he can always get a cup of tea out of something or somewhere....Thats the fella ye want surviving the apocaplypse, not sea-water up the hole Grylls....

My name is URL · 31-08-2010 12:37PM

Grylls is a twat. Honestly, there's probably people who would take his advice (despite the warnings on the show) when in a survival situation and end up worse off than if they hadn't. It's entertaining and cringe-worthy to watch but that's about it

Brendog · 31-08-2010 12:39PM

He always talks about everything he did in the army.

Everything except the butt-shecks

31-08-2010 12:44PM

I think its a great show I didn't realize the dislike people appear to have for it.

Pogmothone · 31-08-2010 12:45PM

Would rather be with Ray Mears instead.

Terry · 31-08-2010 12:45PM

I'd like to head to the West of Ireland with him, and then point out that there is, in all likelyhood, a house just down the road that would have people willing to put him up for the night.

Wibbs · 31-08-2010 12:48PM

Its a bit of escapist crack alright and Bear's a good one for it and seems a nice bloke, but survival info? Naw. The Ray Mears lad gives you so much more. History, real info, less hype. Plus like I said, if given a choice to head off into the bush between the two, I'm calling shotgun on the taking it easy, living in comfort chunky bloke. A hunter gatherer with the makings of a beer belly(and the ability to actually brew the stuff in the wild) is a far better bet than some uberfit hyperactive ex SAS bloke in my humble. I like my comfort.

fonecrusher1 · 31-08-2010 12:48PM

Its amazing how he travels through these wilderness places all alone except for the camera crew, first aid personel, local guides & trackers & stunt advisors.

Oh & the episode where he drinks the liquid content of an animal turd - FFS?:rolleyes:

It's because of the fakery...and the fact much of its plain madness. While no survival expert, I know enough to say that going through unknown caves/mines without the right gear, on your own, with no-one knowing your down there is absolute lunacy. Doing it as some sort of 'quick way' down a mountain is the equivalent to finding a good steep part you can jump straight off.

Sure didnt he grow up there? In his programme about the west of Ireland there was probably locals watching going "oh there's the Grylls lad again. Lovely fella, but you would think he would have grown out of that by now"

If it's the north west, the guesthouse is the far side of the carpark which is behind the cameraman. Beats sheepskin and has beer.

MayoForSam · 31-08-2010 12:58PM

I pity his crew - his cameraman has to take the real risks and follow Bear everywhere while holding onto a big lump of a camera. One of his coordinators makes a point of eating whatever Bear eats - the raw goat's testicles was a step too far even for him though.

I reckon Bear might just take the Steve Irwin route and meet his comeuppance one of these days - there's not too many more wild places left to explore at this stage and to keep the ratings up, the stunts are bound to get more dangerous. He had a lucky escape in one of the episodes jumping onto a rotten log that broke and was swept away down a deep gully. Didn't faze good old Bear though.

You go on ahead OP....i'm off into the kitchen here to polish off 6 superquinn sausages that are cooking nicely on the frying pan, then i'm going to lie up on the couch and give my sack a good scratch while watching a show about an eejit who "pretends" to survive out in the wilderness........
