BG again

[hog]

Its got to be mentioned.
Yes once again starved as I am for survival visuals, I tuned into Grylls and will never get that hour of my life back.
1. Why does he have to sit outside the chopper?
2. Again he uses a rock to batton his knife!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3. Tarzan swings over a crevass to slam into the rock face??????
4. Jumping off a cliff into untold shallows and jutting up rocks, no the rock on the vine proved very little.
5. He killed a boa to feed himself, possibly the crew then was still hungry enough to eat a whip scorpion................... I'm speachless.
This guy is the fool of the TV world, in my book and should be told not to produce rubbish like he does.

I guess that puts you firmly in Mr Mears camp then!!! lol

All of his stunts aside he is actually a nice guy I dont watch him but I have met him.
Just incase you ask no I didnt get his autograph!!

 

[hog]

Have to say though, he might be a great guy and he probably does know a thing or two about survival, just not the sort we need.
Yes I prefer Mr Mears and do have his autograph.

If you had the chance you wouldn't sit outside the chopper? I would
It's all a bit of fun and should be taken that way, pure entertainment and after all we have plenty of tv channels to turn to or even the power button Personally I think he's mad in a good way but lets not start another discussion on BG vs RM...........

[scrogger]

What do you mean another RM vs BG discussion!! have we had one? right im of for me jetpack to go to the offy I need a beer!!

 

[Deleted dude 7861]

not for the Boa!

The boa had it coming!

 

[Pignut]

The boa had it coming!

BG consumed by Boa........ now there is TV

I keep two emergency forks by the chair just in case the remote emergegncy channel hop fails

No, I am not opening another BG v RM debate, just surprised that the shows continue to go on regardless of the slating it receives not just on forums such as this and many others but from the media in general, and a survival guru of note.

It's sensationalist TV. We are the minority. That's why Jade is now a national hero. Down with Nelson, pooh to Churchill, up with Jade!!!

Edward 'Teddy' Grylls is actually a decent guy, It's the producers that pay him stupid amounts of cash and write every episode for the masses that need to be shot, not him. I'd do it too if I got to visit the places he does and got paid that amount. It's also the survival 'experts' that advise on the show that need spooning to death for giving out crappy advice that is sure to seal your doom if you land up in such a situation and adhere to their less than wise words .

 

[Peterlee_Paddler]

Absolutely well said, JonathonD !

 

[durulz]

I watched it last night and I thought it was great fun. Seriously. No irony or anything.
Come on, guys - you don't really think that anyone interested in bushcraft or survival watches Bear for hints and tips, do you? It's watched for enjoyment, escapism, titilation, and just entertainment. Stop taking Bear (and yourselves!) too seriously.

BG is almost as entertaining as these threads.Which is what it's meant to be.ENTERTAINMENT.

 

[Asa Samuel]

BG is an idiot.

 

[sapper1]

Yes,but a rich and popular idiot.

 

[featherstick]

Oh come on!

He lives on a houseboat and does pull-ups on a canal bridge - how cool is that?

I'd love to have his money, his fun, and his chest.

 

[Asa Samuel]

I'd love to have his head on a pole in my yard.

 

[Hoodoo]

Who?

I'm just wondering how many would find it "just for" entertainment if in the darkest greenery of the far east the maniacal BG, snatched a cuddly puppy out of the undergrowth, bashed its cute trusting head against a tree and proceeded to have a haunch of puppy for tea, all done in the best traditions of a take what you need mentality...
