Kind of thought he was above this petty sniping.

It's is the mail. I wouldn't take it as factual.

And the article has a point.

great bit of journalism

Ray Mears' World of Survival premiered on British screens in 1997 and taught viewers a new survival skill in each episode, including how to rub sticks together to make fire to keep warm in the Arctic.

Yes makes you wonder why reporters dont 'brush up' on the subject before writing up the report.

They are employees of the Daily Mail, it isn't fair to proper reporters and journalists to refer to them as anything else.

It's trash journalism. There was another interview where he said he wasn't bothered about the comparison although what they have quoted him on is correct.

They have blown things out of proportion. Let's face it, it COULD be dangerous to go jumping off cliffs into rivers if you don't know how deep they are.

I have great respect for BOTH these people, but they will always have two very different approaches to their craft.

Maybe they should pop them into "I'm a celebrity" this time around...Just don't let them kill and eat a rat

Makes me wonder why anyone would willingly read the "Hate Mail"

I was banned from the Mail online for a political comment about Mugabe, the DM did not agree with my views, which were not politically correct enough for them, I now scan the 'pages' when my Wife logs in.
I did try the Guardian but not enough pictures in it. LOL.

The Beano was Sold out so next best thing

 

[MikeLA]

in fact no longer read any newspaper and the BBC news is too PC left with Sky news only

 

[General Strike]

It looks to me that they've taken Ray's recent interview in the Guardian, discarded everything that they couldn't misconstrue and they slapped a bunch of stuff about Bear in to make it look like there's still life in the old nag. It's just the same old Oasis/Blur, Madonna/Cyndi Lauper thing.

That said, precisely what variety of berk buys an unspoiled nesting site and bolts a waterslide to it? That act has cemented my view of Grylls as a man who really has no grasp of living with nature at all - which would explain why his shows all pit him against nature in an adversarial way.

Stop talking about this article. It's in the Mail. Just completely ignore it. There's a better thread about the Guardian article.

Trouble is of course the Grauniad is really no better than the "Hate Mail" - its just an organ for regurgitating failed socialist dogma much as the Mail tries to pretend all immigrants both "take our jobs" and "claim social security" at the same time. Two sides of the same coin really.
