ray vs bear

[2sheds]

maybe this has been here before, trivial tittle tattle i came across whilst reading a comment from Ray about "my island" (Skomer that is, and not really mine but managed by my organisation, well not really my organiosation i guess my organisation belongs to the 4200 members) not sure if it impressed the girls but i'm going to buy some tight khaki shorts tomorrow

I did think the gals would find Bear more attractive ?

"The squat-and-explain stance" . . . . . . lol.

MAYBE its been on here!, you bet... to death.

Personally, I find Ray informative, and Bear entertining, in a kind of "You Mug" or "Point and Laugh" sort of way. Though, as I like to explain to my scouts, who would you follow, the Fat guy that knows where to find water in the most extreme of places, or the skinny guy that drinks from cow dung.

There are some amusing Biographys of both on ARRSE if anyone is interested enough to search for them.

I use Radio Times online. The issue of Ray V Bear though has been done so many times, its become tedious.

I only watch Bear Grylls because I hate him and enjoy watching him suffer ^_^

My favorite was when he got the runs half way up a cliff. Priceless!

 

[mbiraman]

The explanation to the scouts,,,LOL

 

[mbiraman]

I don't watch most survival shows as to me they come off fake. Having said that i will watch a Ray Mears doc or special because he doesn't come off hollywood like the rest. Even so Ray doesn't always get it right. He recently did a special on the bears on the BC coast and while most of it was accurate there was some TV drama and at least one thing he either faked or made a huge mistake at, but that's ok,,,,its TV.

My Pleaseure. I found em funny.

Thanks for clarifying MBiraman. It was just something that just came up in a discussion a few weeks ago, it just sort of rolled off the tongue. I suppose I should have a bit more respect for the chief scout, but not when he's a showboating mug(ok, I'll not say that to his face, being a jap slapping meistro)

 

[Bushwhacker]

Is there a room 101 on this forum?

 

[outdoorpaddy]

[Stringmaker]

Well my cat knows who she prefers:

 

[robevs73]

Cat's are intelagent animals, far more than Bear's!!!!!!

 

[Panama Jungle]

in jungle, Bear. No question. I have worked with the bloke who looked after him in the Panama jungle episodes and he said his skills were good, just obviously puts on more of a 'show' for the TV.
