Sorry for my delay in responses....I've been in the mountains. Yes- I'm one guy with a passion for Bear Grylls! In addition, I do enjoy and admire many survival experts (below) and don't ridicule or judge them...especially against folks that may advocate one of them.
Rudiger Nehberg, German author and survival expert
Bruce Parry, British adventurer
Les Hiddins, Australian survival expert
Les Stroud, Canadian survival expert
Ranulph Fiennes, British adventurer
Ed Stafford, British adventurer
Ray Mears, English survival expert
I'm eager to start enjoying this forum to learn more about bushcraft skills....as its use was originally intended for! I think all of the above survival experts offer unique skills....including bushcraft!
I guess freedom of speech and too much time on the internet and not enough time spent in the mountains causes many folks to write what's on their minds and clutter forums with useless information. I'll certainly work on this as well!
With that said, you can learn more about me at my website...more to come!
