Thank you..and Amen to that. I am tired of people posting negative comments on links that I have posted about him. I don't care you don't have to watch the video and you don't have to visit this spot. And if your reading this please stop posting negative things about bear grylls on other links in different spot totally irrelevant. It's rude and immature. link

I can see that wepostlethwait is not a fan of Bear. But I have to agree with you goalstopper, the show is not meant to be a documentary and never claims to be such. It's a tutorial and lessons on how to survive if you were to find yourself in certain circumstances. I've read articles where his tips on survival actually really helped people. Although I was a bit bummed about the wild horses coming from some ranch and the raft being built by some consultant. Hey, the man isn't McGyver after all!

did you know that the guy in man v.s. wild doesnt sleep where ever he is lost every time he just goes to a hotel and sleeps survivorman stays out in the woods or where ever he is and he doesnt have a camera crew the guy in man v.s. wild does

most of the stuff he did wasn't faked, though, that was only a few episodes. most of the time he is really doing it and he always knows what he is doing. i agree that survivorman is really out there all the time, but he's kinda boring and his show is interesting, but really slow-paced. i'm happy discovery channel is going to keep making man vs. wild.

As a friend of Bear, I ran the full gambit of emotions.. but then we talked it out and he explained to me that he left at times because he felt that he would be able to film a better show if he was rested. While showing me his knife and his boots, he noted that unlike Les Stroud, he actually knows how to climb, repel, and do other survival techniques, which are more important than just sitting in one place.

So after a cup of tea and a few weevel grubs, we burried the survival axe and got on the plane to Patagonia.

To those who might have been upset with me, im sorry, but if Bear can forgive me, you can too.
