BG Ultimate knife. straight from the horses mouth!

[Samon]

I've seen the terrible reviews of this knife in the past but I didn't think he'd actually go on camera and try to advertise it himself and make out it's not a piece of s***..

The last few seconds it does look like he's trying not to laugh..or cry.

Shocked isn't a strong enough word..

I'm starting to dislike him even more..the degree of stupid disgusting things he does to dead animals is getting worse every time he's released into the outdoors. The knife is just an embarressing ploy for him to make money off of dumb 15 year olds.

I think he's trying to reach out to the young american audiance with his tackyness and retarded action man 'survival' techniques.

Bit of a sweeping statement. It's only a programme, and an American one at that, so what'd you expect.

Perhaps it's aimed more at the US market.

It is. It's made by Discovery under the Man Vs Wild title. They tried to tailor it more for the UK market in series 2 but it slipped back to the more US targeted programme after that.

The Americans that I know (through various forums) who obsess over him are the 'types' it's aimed at not the normal ones. He's teaching stupid 'survival tips' to people who actually live in/near enviroments where real survival training is needed, the last thing a weekend warrior needs is advice from that boob coupled with that action man knife.

All weekend warriors do is watch the TV and eat cheesy puffs. Not much chance of them getting stuck in Arnhemland.

Haha! That's true but I'd hate to think of someone actually trying to copy his stunts to survive..
I actually found his earlier episodes entertaining but not anymore.

Southey stands on the bins sometimes too,...

Maybe his show is a bit pants BUT you have to respect the man:

1. He's probably been to more places and had more experience than many people claiming to be survival specialists.
2. The man climbed Everest (and I seem to remember he was the first to paraglide off it? )
3. He's made a truckload of money, and whilst everyones knocking him, he's probably curled up in his mansion on a sofa made of dodo pelts, next to his model girlfriend...boob??... I dont think so....

 

[ex-member Raikey]

hahah yeah either that,...

or ,...(for better TV,....

he,s drinking Dodo,s weewee and making a coat out of his girlfriend

But WHO exactly will buy it?? anybody who knows anything about knives can see it for what it is and wont buy it. resulting in a load of BG wannabees army rolling around local woodlands, jumping off waterfalls and wildly hacking at anything they see "surviving" all over the place. Knives are not toys as we all know!! And shouldn't be marketed to people who want to "play" Bear Grylls.

Dan

Just watch, his show was one of the most popular in america for males age 18-55, now i'm sure a few folk over the big pond will buy it, and I bet about 1% of them will actually know anything about knifes!!!

That sort of thing is why he lives on his own island, and we dont!! good for him

His royal chubbyness does exactly the same thing as well endorsing products and selling them through his website, and who is to knock any of the two of them for doing so!!
