Rocking the trent or boat, but I respect and like the man and take the programmes as entertainment. More often that not if I want to watch a DVD its his I watch

So true and so funny... ^^^^^ Bear would use the Coconuts to wedge 550 paracord in between a rock for a 300 foot abseil down a rocky ravine, clenching the 550 between his buttocks as a break, Ray would just fashion a bra out of them. :)

thats an awsome pic, love the electric eel......i do feel bear should be wringing the urine out of the badger rather than trying to sleep in it though :D

I'd be more worried that it appears to have been snowing in Ray's Funland!

What would a macaw be doing around snow? Or a coconut and palm tree for that matter!

There are just too many inaccuracies in that cartoon depiction for me to overlook, I therefore refuse to find it amusing in any way until I look at Bear in a badger :)

Mr frills is on quest+1 as we speak. In Scotland showing you how not to set a snare (open ground with evidence of deer, and nowhere near a run) and how to dispatch a rabbit inhumanely with a karate chop. I suppose good he gets people interested in the outdoors, but his methods are questionable at best. On a lighter note he also said "I hope this holds" while getting across a fallen pine that was around 2 feet thick :lmao:

You don't think Ray Mears doesn't do that as well? I met somebody who was part of the crew on the programme Mears did about the WW2 Norwegian Saboteurs..He claimed the RM' s who played the saboteurs stayed on set most of the time, where as Mears only appeared when and as needed for filming. Even when onset, he apparently sent most of his time on a sat phone organising other business..

I have no idea how true this is, but it would not surprise me..Its probably down to the reality of filming a TV show in a cost effective and safe manner more than a refection of Mears or Grylls for that matter....

More Ray bashing based on speculation :rolleyes:

I didn't read that as "ray bashing" tbh......just that he's a busy bloke at work. strikes me he'd rather be messing about in the snow than organising his courses, interviews, stock take, or whatever over the phone

No, no, no... it can't be... it has to be snow! I agree that the logical answer would be a white sandy beach, but then my argument regarding the macaw wouldn't hold water... so it has to be snow!

In fact i think the whole picture is a sham, i see no evidence of how that bamboo dodgem is lashed together, the only plausible thing in it is Bear avoiding dying of hypothermia by warming his feet inside the dead badger even though he thought they smelt bad on the outside

it did take an artificial reality in the construct of a cartoon for that to happen though
