Can I also point out that having worked with both regular AND TA SAS units they are both the same in terms of training and knowledge etc. Also, TA SAS are presently on active duty in the middle east!! Don't denegrate them, just cos of the non regular tag!
Actually...
The SAS can walk on water..
So can we all....
Just wait until it freezes!
Criky - you guys are getting a bit serious about a comedy actor who fell over while out walking!

It turns out Grylls and Co actually were there to promote Ethanol biofuel as a "green alternative"
what the hell!! The guy is a complete ****, what a bunch of ****heads and selfish greedy money accepting ********s.
Ethanol is an AWFUL substitute to oil. It needs more crops,is grown on third world land where food could be grown, hence more deforestation and the process of converting it to fuel releases 50% more carbon emmissions than oil. On top of all that how the HELL does flying a load of people to antartica in a dirty great plane to **** about on a mountain promote this? Not to mention the not-very-eco-friendly helicopters involved in airlifting the toffer out of there.
No Grylls has no more care for the environment than anyone else. You know what it is that all these people want (and ourselves)? - An exciting life. Sod the generations after us, sod the wake, lets all prance about all over the globe whislt preaching a message of sustainability. rubbish, utter rubbish.
Do your damn preaching at home you celebrities!

I am with yo to on this one, Firecrest. As to the *******
I have heard worse!
Yet another "cash crop" ruining the environment, and the third world countries' environment, in which they are grown, keeping them in shackles by the multinational businesses that really run the world.
Money talks for humans. But eventually, the planet will get rid of us in a big way. We are like bacteria on a Petri dish, growing and consuming uncontrollably. I think it's inevitable that we will suffer big time soon. In the long term, Gaia will survive. We won't.

Hold your fire a minute..can I ask a question? As I don't have a television I've never seen this gentleman, so can't comment. Which one is he in JoJo's photo, the furry pasty looking one on the right or the little one in the yellow jacket?? 
they werent real expletives, just a load of ****ing stars
I best stop before I get meself in trouble! apparently the trip was paid for by a bio-ethanol company.
Now there's a surprise.....
Give him his due, hes done a few things which deserve a certain amount of respect and hes not a bad person. Saying that,"Man Vs. Wild".......for me, its more like, Man at Harmony with the wild.
Mr Grylls was trying to raise upto $1m in sponsorships for the Global Angels Foundation who look after kids in Uganda so let`s give the guy some slack on this one.

More on topic. I don't like Bear Grylls, at all. I think his "advice" is downright dangerous, I think his methods are idiotic and I think he's a complete and utter sellout. I highly doubt, however, that on a personal outing, he behaves the way he does on TV. It's showy. Nobody runs around squeezing water out of elephant dung and drinking urine from a snakeskin unless they're getting paid well to do it (except, perhaps, some of his more diehard fans). All in all, he caters to armchair survivalists more even than I think he would appeal to people who are actually into practicing survival techniques.
Not to say that I don't enjoy his shows. They crack me up, and if you can filter out the nonsense, you might even be able to get some useful information.
I wouldn't wish harm on the man. As long as he does charity work, I consider him a positive force in the world. I am not, however, surprised that he got injured. Nor do I pity him. I do hope that he makes a full recovery though, as some of his expeditions (which, of course, require physical fitness) are what raises the money for charity.

well alright, that is a lot more cause-worthy, though quite why it needed money from Ethanol Ventures Ive no idea. I don't like the idea of big companies getting involved in things like this, its an image thing and its almost like holding people to an emotional ransom ie - "we support a good cause that means you should support our company to"
Ive no doubt Bear supports these charities out of the kindness of his heart though.
