Concussion Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 (edited) `Bear`Grylls... is he a bad-ass or what? I think him and `Tubby` Ray Mears should have survival-off! Chuck em both in a extreme survival situation and see who wins, maybe the winner gets to eat the loser or something... raw!Anyone been watching the programme, repeated on the Discovery channel 10pm Mondays?

on that? u must be joking Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 I can't stand the way he gets into these contrived emergency situations which are dangerous to him but just fine and dandy to the film crew.Ray Mears ***.

011001000110010101110010 Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 bear took his clothes off and jumped into a frozen lake to explain what happens to your body. Ray would have just talked about it or possibly a voice over some photos.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomturd Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 `Tubby` Ray MearsWe call him Ray Fatty Mears, he's a legend.Literally downloaded the 7 episodes of Bear Grylls a week ago and have watched one a day since. Kicks Ray mears ass (although Ray is also still amazing)A drink along with bear game would be pretty simply.Drink 1 every time he climbs down something instead of going around 'to save time'.Drink 1 every time he tells a story of how a family/scout/explorer got into a similar situation only this year and died.Drink 2 every time he tells a story of how a family/scout/explorer got into a similar situation only this year and survived.Drink 1 every time he reminds you he's an 'experienced climber'.Drink 1 every time he eats a raw fish.you get the idea..

Concussion Posted May 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 you get the idea..Oh yeah! ... he actually cooked something in last nights Discovery repeat, amazing!...who wants to eat a raw crayfish though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 (edited) bear gyrlls is a pretty couragous guy people, not really the same genre as ray mears. Hes a survival expert, and hes the youngest brit to ever have reached the summit of everest and survived. If your interested he has a book out about the climb called 'facing up', you should read it and find out why its slightly more than "hes not as cool as ray mears", hes a very interesting, insightful guy. Actually, saying that about everest, hes about to make his second attempt at reaching the summit, by paraglider, info can be found here.

DeeperThanBlack Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Its a mixed decision- Bear Grylls is probably my favourite, only because he eats uhmm... everything! The last time I swa it he actually ate dirt and rocks!I would also like to add a little more to the drinking game, but its for Ray. Drink six every time Ray lights a fire then holds the burning kindling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haz Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Only ever saw 1 episode of Bear Grylls. Was awesome!Parachute into a lake, get naked, get dressed, run down a mountain, paddle harshest rapids in mountains in a shoddy raft made from twigs, eat trees.It's a winning combination really.Need to find a place to aquire the whole series.

Sneakers O'Toole Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 That Bear guy is pretty cool in what he does but i prefer watching Ray Mears for his bushcraft and the way he believes everything he eats is "mmm delicious". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Sheehan! Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 (edited) Bear Grylls and Ray Mears are 2 different people. Bear shows how you survive in a jungle, and Ray shows how to live in a jungle, thats why he builds shelters, because he plans on staying there for a bit. Bear would rather jump into a lake and run through a rainforest to get to civilisation while Ray would build a shack, eat a meal and wait for a search party to arrive.Whatever happens, they're both 2 seriously cool people.
