The Grylls thing has come up in here many times, always ends up in a Mears/Grylls controversy and argument and never ends well.

I can’t see this thread going anywhere productive at all, in fact I see it
inciting an argument.

How do you know what is productive for me given that you have got no idea whatsoever what I am researching and why I asked the question?

I wish I had the knowledge and skills of Ray and the energy/physicality of Bear. It's easy to find fault but they've both done so much good for getting people outdoors and into nature that in my opinion that outweighs any negative stuff, which personally I find hard to voice as they both thrash me in so many areas of competence and ability that I feel a bit humble when I think about it.

Ha ha, I realise that I'm caught up in the comparison because of some of the other comments. My comments about Bear are hopefully what you're after.
I know people that know him and he's classed as a really nice guy, he's got getup and go, he's capable, even if he does push the boundaries sometimes. I'd rather be stranded with him than someone that gives up and things are too hard, I think, generally, you'd survive better.

So refreshing that we can still find new points to argue over on an idea that has been thrashed to death! There might well be no winners in this debate but just look at the field of corpses of sentiments put forward !
