Is that Jeremiah Johnson?
Looks like Robert Redford to me.

Bruce Parry does talks, lectures and campaigns for indigenous peoples and cultures. He made a film in 2018 ‘Tawai - A voice from the forest.Bruce Parry. What a fantastic series that was. An actual likeable pleasurable and naturally trustworthy, presentable and open appearing man. He just disappeared after that series and it was groundbreaking and brilliant.
Yeah but the cheese thread considered some of the real and important issues facing mankind today.Well considering the amount of posts, it’s one of the most replied to threads in recent days since Poppy’s ridiculous cheese threads.
I'm a big fan of Bruce Parry.Bruce Parry does talks, lectures and campaigns for indigenous peoples and cultures. He made a film in 2018 ‘Tawai - A voice from the forest.
Brizzlebush:
Your comment about white men with cameras reminds of the guy from Mali who turns to camera and says," We're just a normal Malian household. Husband, two wives, four kids and an anthopologist."
As to the debate, I agree that Bruce Parry and Ray Mears are both commendable for the respect they show towards the people they visit. A common factor of both is an understanding that learning is a two way process, just as respect is. Both also have a respect for the natural world, which I find lacking in Grylls and Stafford who seem to espouse and outdated view that Nature is a force to be overcome.
Strange that there is no mention of Paul Kirtley. He seems to me to embody all the virtues and is the one I'd like to share time in the wilderness with.
I love Manchester for me there's more to do there than LiverpoolPoor deluded fool!
Liverpool is probably the best city in Northern England and that's being modest about it too. (Take out the probably).
Then there's led Stroud survivorman lolAt the risk of being impolite I'd say you never know whether RM will be the biggest series by series. If you know what I mean.
The one thing I will say about RM and BG is that they seem very nice guys. I'm not really sure about ES because he's been doing a lot of competitive bushcraft type of programme. I'm wary of people feeling the need to compete or prove they're the best. Especially in bushcraft.
he has over 68 episodes I believe he did get food in quite a lot of them but did go on like a ten episode strea k with nothing but that's reality it's hardly a buffet out thereI know John J has won, but we forgot Les Stroud. Hang your heads in shame. Although, he wasn’t very successful in his shows. Hardly caught anything to eat. But it was brilliant TV in that he filmed everything himself. Probably why he didn’t have time to catch food.
Agreed, he is credible. His TV stuff is fun and massively over the top, but he is accomplished and his mental fortitude is impressive.
One bloke who hasn’t had a mention here that I always loved watching, especially when taking hallucinogenic concoctions and inverting his penis (as is tradition), Bruce Parry. Whatever happened to him?

A marines wannabe vs actual SAS and the wannabe gets the higher hardman roots? Chopper crash or parachute failure at 26,000 feet? One auto grates down the other freefalls. 31% survival rate with chopper crashes but can't find equivalent figure for parachuting. Although he's had the 5th highest survived freefall

Australian aboriginals I believe and there concept of the 3 brains they go by there gut ,one of the three brains the other being the heart it's interesting for sureI think ES has spent time learning from indigenous tribes too but it's not part of his show format so probably not obvious. I'm sure he's described a technique learnt from xyz tribe as being useful in one of his escapes.
I suspect there is a lot we don't know about RM, ES & BG. We really only have their shows, interviews, books and any kit they've put their name to. What they represent is their career not their full capabilities or knowledge. Even in interviews they're representing their work for promotion purposes.
Brilliant.Yeah but the cheese thread considered some of the real and important issues facing mankind today.
Surely that's a question to be asked of these tv peeps?
So, Ray, after you'd been given the all clear in hospital after the helicopter crash. What cheese did you most hanker after. With damper of choice?
Tell me Ed, after you reached the mouth of the Amazon, having walked it's entire length. I bet you just wanted a big lump of mature cheddar and a cold cider eh? Which would those be please?
Mr Grylls, I understand you're partial to a fine claret? Would you care to tell us your favourite cheese pairing for a 1986 St Emilion?
