SilentScope Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 I have come to the realization that Man vs. Wild is in fact the greatest show on television at the moment. Better than Survivor Man for the single reason that if Bear Grylls and Les Stroud got into a fight, Bear would beat Les to death, no questions. I dont care that Bear gets a camera crew either, if anything it means he has to keep THEM alive as well He even uses those cheap-*albatross* Gerber knives, it's like he doesn't even give a damn edited for broken English Link to post Share on other sites
Jagdraben Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 I'm pretty sure the camera crew keeps the camera crew alive. They probably bring plenty of food and water for themselves and a satellite phone with a helo nearby on 24 hour stand-by in case things go south. EDIT: Oh, and Grylls doesn't have to carry his camera equipment. Les does. Link to post Share on other sites
SilentScope Posted July 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 The point is that Bear Grylls was the youngest person to survive climbing Everest, A YEAR AFTER BREAKING HIS BACK, he was in the efffin SAS for three years, he has a black belt in karate, and Les Stroud plays the harmonica and bitches about how hard life is The SAS son, not even Ray Mears can touch that /thread Link to post Share on other sites
Jagdraben Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 And Bear Grylls bitches about how hard life is in the FFL. Despite having been in the SAS for three years. And despite the fact that it wasn't even the real FFL or even real FFL training: It was pseudo-FFL training! Link to post Share on other sites
Sledge Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Ray Mears doesn't make a big deal out of how hard he is for eating disgusting things. Link to post Share on other sites
Handsome Pete Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 i heard somewhere Ray Mears taught SAS soldiers but that is only word round the lonely campfire. Link to post Share on other sites
SilentScope Posted July 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 But argue my point that Bear would beat Les to death with his bare hands. That's right, you cant. Clearly he is the better man, better show, more entertaining, I'm staying in on a friday night to watch it in 2 hours, etc etc. Link to post Share on other sites
SilentScope Posted July 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Ray Mears doesn't make a big deal out of how hard he is for eating disgusting things. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Because that fatass will eat anything Link to post Share on other sites
Sledge Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 May be more entertaining, but the better man? No. Comes across as a bit of a ###### everytime I've seen him. Link to post Share on other sites

SilentScope Posted July 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Have you seen the stuff he has done!? I say his *albatross* is humble for that type of resume, seriously On Letterman he wouldn't even consider himself the youngest person to climb everest, even though the only guy who was younger didnt survive the decent Link to post Share on other sites
hardboiledcop Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 I like the guy, survival shows are always awesome but the element of danger he brings is always an added bonus.. Link to post Share on other sites

Miker Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 The dude from Survivor man bitches about every little thing... Bear Grylls does stuff he doesn't even have to too, like jump down water falls and such. Also the whole thing isn't him sitting under some branches making a fire saying how important it is to stay dry and get water and saying how bad of a time he is having.

PariahWolf Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 I don't know if any of you have met Ray Mears....? Anyone? I did at a book signing I pasted, he seems COMPLETELY full of himself. I talked to him for maybe 20~ seconds and I left with the firm believe that if I ever met him in the wilderness I'd use him for food. Edit: Re-reading my post it seems a little harsh, he wasn't a complate twat or anything, just had one of those ways about him. Link to post Share on other sites
GuzziHero Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 Bear Grylls is tough... But Sir Ranulph Feinnes would run through the jungle faster, climb the mountain quicker, swim the croc-infested river with raw meat hanging from him and kill any croc that passed his way...and when Grylls died from exhaustion, unable to keep up, Sir Feinnes would make a 4 course meal from his corpse. No contest. Proof: In 2000, he attempted to walk solo and unsupported to the North Pole. The expedition failed when his sleds fell through weak ice and Fiennes was forced to pull them out by hand. He sustained severe frostbite to the tips of all the fingers on his left hand, forcing him to abandon the attempt. On returning home, his surgeon insisted the necrotic fingertips be retained for several months (to allow regrowth of the remaining healthy tissue) before amputation. Impatient at the pain the dying fingertips caused, Fiennes removed them himself (in his garden shed) with a fretsaw. Now thats hardcore. Link to post Share on other sites
AliceHKfan Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 don't get me wrong Bear Grylls is badass, but I kinda respect Les Stroud more since he has to do everything by himself. Link to post Share on other sites
PariahWolf Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 Feinnes is a cheat. Link to post Share on other sites
Fuser Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 Ray Mears doesn't make a big deal out of how hard he is for eating disgusting things. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Does Bear Grylls? Once he just plucked a huge *albatross* crucifix spider from a branch and started to explain how it is full of nutrients and how you should eat it if you have to. He wasn't making a big deal about eating it, nor was he stalling. When he finished talking he just ate the damn thing. Maybe he made a bit of a face because it tasted like donkey semen. That's it. And as for Bear fighting Les Stroud...c'mon. Even if Les had a knife, it would be over more quickly because Bear would just take it from him. Or he'd build a spear from a tree as Les was running towards him. No competition. And lastly, maybe Les does carry his own equipment and is more "alone" in the wilderness, but have you seen the type of *beep* that he doesn't have to do?! His areas are so tame compared to where Bear goes. Bear Grylls has to climb up trees, glaciers, cliffs...the guy stuck his goddamn hand in a goddamn crevice and made a goddamn fist to pull himself up, honestly. ...And it's just such a relief that this thread is over...

Sledge Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 Ranulph Feinnes PWNS all. And he doesn't come across as a total *albartroth*. Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 I have now met Bear, I liked him a great deal. I met Ray mears ages ago and he is a twat. He did teach the SAS but that just makes him even more of a smug twat. I have never met Sir Ranulph Twistleton-Wykeham Fiennes (legendary name) but my dad has and although he seldom says much of anything my dad said he was a legend which is good enough for me. Ranulph>Bear>Ray, IMO. Highlight, Ranulph got thrown out of the SAS for blowing up a film set in Castle Coombe. Link to post Share on other sites
The Crunchy Bunny Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 Bear Grylls is the greatest man on Earth. He can do just about anything. In short, he kicks *albatross* on a majorly awsome level. Disclaimer: I am not gay for Bear nor any man. Yes, I realize how gay the above statment just sounded. Link to post Share on other sites
