Ray, a very experienced man who gives knowledge as if he was giving it to his son, Bear, Stupid.
Bear just gets wow's on Born survivor, Ray actually teaches you.

I believe a large problem there was the use of large swamp tyres putting undue stress in the drive train.

I read the name 'Bromhead' and thought to myself "Rorke's Drift" and what do you know, he is a descendant.
I'd suggest you do a bit of reading mate
What I mean is Ray teaches you about real bushcraft, Bear just tells you how to get rescued... I used to watch Bear on discovery from morning 'til day, but then I found out about Ray, which is the real deal, they are not alike you can't even really compare them..
But Ray is better... ahah
There you go fixedWhat I mean is Ray teaches you about real bushcraft, Bear just tells you how to get killed... I used to watch Bear on discovery from morning 'til day, but then I found out about Ray, which is the real deal, they are not alike you can't even really compare them..

Survival and bushcraft are 2 totally different yet closely related things. Do you know anything about bear thats not from man vs wild?

Have you fallen out of a helicopter over the Peruvian step, then had to travel to catch a train moving through the landscape surviving by your wits having to feed your self AND a film crew(because we are unable to differentiate between a TV show and reality here)?
NO?
then how are you in any way qualified to comment?
I think it is safe to say they have both found their niche in life. If push came to shove, I'd be happy to be stranded with either of them. And both have far greater knowledge than I do, they just demonstrate it in different ways.
Odds on that?page 3 page 3 any takers on page 3?
A fairly safe bet I would say - at evens!
Its TV.... Not real life...
Once you've been here a while you'll realize that the Ray v Bear debate is eternal on this forum. We like to hypothesize how they would interact with each other who's better etc etc etc... So statements like 'Ray is better' or 'Rays the real deal' etc is hardly ground breaking news TBH. However thanks for your contribution....
Is Monty Halls really such a well known figure? He went to the same school as me and came in one day for a speech. I sat right opposite him at dinner and he seemed like a really nice guy. At the time at had no idea who he was as I had been in boarding school for years and hadn't watched tv since I was 12. LOL.

Its always difficult when you get an invite that says dress - smart/casual. I think RM is more 'lounge suit', but BG hasn't made an effort at all, at least they've had a shave though.
Did anyone see the comment in Radio Times by Dominic West saying that RM "would take years to die if he never ate another thing". I used to think he was alright but there's no need for saying stuff like that. Its on the last page of this weeks issue.
