Survivorman survives without giving himself an enema
bear would be bitching if he actually was out there surviving rather than staying in a fucking hotel every night....
im pretty sure if youre alone at night in the middle of fucking nowhere with no food or tent you'd complain a bit.
Bear Grylls is ex SAS. anyone who thinks that canadian hippie is in any way better then him is a fool. Sure his show may not be 100% real but thats because he makes it infinitly more entertaining then survior man
the thing i like about bear is that he goes out and does more crazy shit. He bites the heads off snakes, and drinks his own piss. But Les is more of a classy stay alive kinda guy. I have more respect for Les because he does all his own filming, but Bear does more crazy shit and puts himself in more dangerous situations. also his name is FUCKING BEAR! you can't fuck with a guy whos name is bear.
Bear ESCAPES, whereas Les just tries to survive for 3 days. I've actually learned some useful information from Bear (not like I'll be using it ever) but Les is just plain boring.
Les would never throw himself in a cold river to show the effects of hypothermia - he's a bitch. Bear killed a fucking wild boar with his bare hands, and Les bitched out in Africa when he heard a leopard in the woods.
I think les stroud is a bitch. Great. He can survive just like any other boyscout and their troop leader. Bear grylls makes his show interesting. Do you honestly think, with his climbing skills, his level of expertise, his life experiences, his overall superior fitness Bear grylls couldn't survive equally well or better than les stroud?
That being said, i think bear breathes way too loud all the time. its so annoying.
man vs wild has the camera men. I think the best part of Man vs wild is that once in a while Bear will actauly end up eating something actauly is delicious in the middle of nowhere
He really doesn't bitch that much. And if you think about it, he's completely alone for a week. No food or water unless he's left with a dandy bar or something. He has to lug around a ton of weight in cameras and batteries. If the weather sucks not is it only killing his spirit and will to keep going, it's fucking with the cameras.
I wasn't denying how Les is a badass, just that his whining about the cold in almost every episode gets kinda old. I guess Bear does it too though... so, my argument is kinda stupid.
Who cares? His show is boring as shit because he is always trying to film himself doing boring crap. Bear has made it clear since the beginning that he is with a team of people just showing you how do do different things, and people get butthurt because he makes the show interesting.
Survivorman is about as exciting as watching my grass grow.
HOW MANY FUCKING TIMES DOES THIS NEED TO BE ARGUED ON NEWSCHOOLERS?
Bear's show is 10 times more informational about how to survive, aka what to eat, how to get food, where to get food, what not to do and what to do. If you alone by yourself that's what you need to know. He was a member of the SAS, he's climbed Everest twice, he's better than survivor man. End of story, end of thread, end of discussion. God, it really fucking boggles my mind to think that the intelligent members of NS actually support Les over Bear, get your fucking head out of your ass and process what you're watching.
les actually builds a shelter, gets food and water, and does shit with no help and does exactly what you need to do to survive for 7 days.
bear goes around giving himself enemas and climbing down cliffs for no fucking reason. he doesnt show you how to survive, he shows you how to be a cunt.
Just because your personal opinion is against bear doesn't do anything to the FACT. Bear's resume is very impressive and he shares alot of really good info (whether its his or not) and saying hes worse is just ignorant. Bear fines water and food all of the time and builds shelters all the time what are you talking about? And as for bear, hes trying to escape, not chill for 7 days, the points of the shows are completely different.
when it comes down to it. bear is for people with ADD, while les is appreciated by people that have done some real camping in their life. not drive into your campsite, but canoeing 60miles in a week and doing 1mile + portages with full gear. between those two kinds of people whose opinion on the matter is better?
Survivorman doesn't need the little bullshit gimmicks. What he does is for real, and pretty fucking badass. Surviving for a week in different places all alone having to find your own food and shelter.
Bear just started eating shit and doing wacky things to make the show seem more hardcore.
escape from where? he chills in a hotel every night? he just drives somewhere, walks 10 minutes into the forest with a camera crew, and eats gross things and then leaves.
