Grown up boyscout BEAR GRYLLS! Note to self: before jumping headfirst into Pacific ocean from home made kontiki raft, check for 16ft Tiger sharks looking for a bite to eat. I never run out of different ways to say "he's crazy" while watching this show.

    I'll take the Amazon over this! Apparently Piranhas aren't even that aggressive

    While I agree that Bear Grylls is hard-as-nails. Who else pisses on their shirt to keep themselves cool, or squeezes elephant dung to drink the liquid?!? However, I'm a little dubious of the show considering he has a camera man and sound guy along with him (arguably making them tougher for having to lug equipment around).
    For the real survivor ish, Les Stroud (aka Survivorman) is the real deal:

    All by himself (meaning he does all of the camera and sound work alone) for up to seven days in the most remote locations...definetly

    I dunno, looked like he was alone on that raft clip.

    DAA-MNNNNN, I just saw a clip at the discovery channel website, where he pisses on his head dress, to keep cool in the desert.

    Biting out of a fresh Zebra. Never seen that one before!

    as fuck.

    No, he is by himself - the text under the pic was referring to Stroud. There was an episode where they did a behind-the-scenes making-of deal, and it was eye-opening. Those shots where you see him walking off into the distance? Then he has to turn around, walk back, and pick up all that gear. Then he continues walking through the desert after four days without food.

    Hard ass. Love that shit.

    Oh, and they revealed in the making-of episode that he spends a week with local survivalists/desert/bush/etc/dwellers before the shooting, so it's not like he's dropped cold into a random survival situation. But whatever. Knowledge or not, dude goes without food, water and shelter far too often and faces some things I never want to.

    The Bear guy has a cameraman. And putting aside all real/fake assumptions, I just finished watching the Moab Desert episode. Pretty awesome. That part where he intentionally puts himself in quicksand, and gets out, is , so is the part where he climbs out of that canyon water.

    I like this show, thanks for posting about it!
