Ray Mears vs Bear Grylls

Sykk

Who's the better?

Definitely Bear Grylls in my eyes. He's a legend and does some crazy stuff that's would actually be required in a survival situation. He perseveres some of the toughest weather and conditions on earth.

The only real danger Ray Mears puts himself in is ever so slightly burning his mouth from sipping the mint tea from his 5 star hotel..

Ray Mears actually teaches you practical tips to survive. He also actually trains the SAS.

Bear Grylls is a reality TV 'star'.

MungBean

Ray Mears would live comfortably in the wild. Bear Grills would be dead in a week from drinking piss water or trying to show everyone how dangerous it is to jump off a cliff.

thefly

You do realise that Bear Grylls stays in hotels??? In fact he admitted that he stays in hotels

GavRedKing

Bear Grylls, the guy is SAS trained and was one of the youngest Brittons to climb Everest.

Although, if your stuck in a life or death situation, either would be a real help.

MidlandsM

Bear *5 star hotel* Grylls ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...........

V_Moth

That human blimp Ray Mears would be odds-on favourite to subdue and ultimately consume Bear Grylls in a fight.

smash

Bear Grylls would gut Ray Mears and sleep inside him!

CasaBonita

Ray Mears all the way. I'd hate to be stuck in the wild with Bear Grylls - he's not the real deal.

Survivor man FTW!!!

I think you'll find its Bear Grylls that is the fraud and not Ray Mears.

Bear Grylls is a want a be Mears. Mears is the original and his shows are much more interesting than anything Grylls has done.

Ray Mears all day every day. What teddy bear fails to mention is that he was 23 SAS(R), not 22 SAS, he's a stab, a sand bag and border line walt. There also the fact that if there was a path down the side of a mountain he'd throw himself off the top. OP you do realise that the "crazy stuff" he does is more likely to cause survival situation the aid one.

Outkast_IRE

Ray mears obvious winner for a real life situation , if i wanted someone with me to entertain me it would be Bear Grylls

Morpork

Cody Lundin wins. Have you seen his house?

biko

Bear Grylls has a cooler name.
Ray Mears sounds like Rainman.

suicide_circus

Ray all the way, his extra blubber would allow him to live longer in the wild and he would make you nutritious tea out of berries and moss, where as bear would have you drinking your own piss.

He is good, although his show with Dave Canterbury makes them seem more at odds then they really are.

To viewers of his TV series, Bear Grylls is the daredevil adventurer who catapults himself into world's worst 'hellholes' and then survives on his wits alone.
But it has emerged that far from roughing it in brutal environments, the former SAS man actually spent nights in hotels during filming of his Channel 4 show.
The Eton- educated 33-year- old is also alleged to have choreographed parts
Channel 4 last night began an investigation into the claims, which follow a number of embarrassing incidents in which programmes screened by the station were found to have misled the public.

I once saw a show where bear grylls had to 'survive' on the coast of sligo by climbing into a dead sheep. He could have just gone down to centra and bought himself a breakfast roll.

Ray Mears knows his stuff inside out.

I think I'll choose Ray Mears.

Inspired by Bear Grylls, a 29-year-old British man, David Austin, decided to embark on a year-long adventure in the Scottish wilderness. Unfortunately, the man died in under a month, likely from hypothermia. His body wasn’t discovered until weeks after he had died.

Ray Mears is the man!

It's like comparing broadsheets and tabloids...

I think you have the two men mixed up. Ray Mears often goes where he does to tell a particular story and is very easy-going and honest, in addition to looking like the type of chap you could actually talk to. Grylls is the one who likes to try look like a tough man while spending the nights in hotels. He also seems like the kind of chap who would go on a night out wearing three popped collars and shouting at the top of his voice so everyone knows exactly how cool he is.

Poor ould Bear Grylls just got sacked from discovery over a contractual dispute.

Bear was better, we all have our wincing Bear moments, mine was when he ate the big raw spider, or sucked moisture from a dead camels stomach.

suicide_circus

Ray seems much more practical and sage-like, his lovely calm voice gives confidence and you learn from him. Bear is all about shock value, shakey camera work and piss drinking.

Sykk

Ray always has the nice meals and soups. Things that in all reality, you will not likely find. Not in any barren wilderness.

People prefer the idea of having nice berry soup as opposed to eating spiders and grubs, yet it is rarely possible when you're in survival situations..

Bear does what needs to be done.
