haha that knife is sick. I really can't think of a need for a knife for me. Although I do plan on doing a lot of outdoor stuff since I joined an outdoor thing at school.

I have this.  I like it because it doesn't have an overrated TV star's name on it.

Now if you come across a Les Stroud Gerber, let me know.

he is a pussy that sleeps in hotels when he is supposedly "surviving". You want a real wild/survivor man? Watch Les Stroud on survivorman he puts grylls to shame

bahahaha i totally agree

les stroud is way cooler than bear grylls. bear grylls is too hollywood for me, his show looks sooooo scripted and rediculous. all the stuff he does is stupidly impractical. why would you need to drink reindeer blood? cuz it looks cool on tv?

i met les stroud a couple summers ago, and my brother chilled with him at an xavier rudd concert. not only is les cooler, but hes got a way more legit show. all this "bear grylls" overpriced merchandise doesnt help bears case, just makes him seem like more of a celebrity than the survival expert he is supposed to be.

thats my opinion anyways

Bear was in the SAS, broke his back and climbed Mount Everest. He is an all around badass.

thats awesome, i feel like he would be wicked down to earth and cool to chill with

It's not that I don't like grylls he's definitely more apt to survive in an extreme situation than I am..I'm just saying his show is garbage compared to strouds and nothing more than a more refined version of jackass, all he does is stupid stunts that have very little practicality

If you put the two head to head and asked them to survive on their own with minimal supplies, stroud would last 100x longer than grylls, it would be like watching the yankees play a t-ball team in home run derby

Man Vs. Wild may be staged, but Survivorman is boring as shit.  I bet Les wouldn't do half the crazy shit that Bear does.  Who gives a shit if he can live in a cave without moving for 6 days?

It's literally a gerber prodigy with a different handel and BG on it.  Nothing new here except for combining it with a fire starter... I'd rather take have the LMF II

This looks pretty sick though.  Only $30 too!

Les Stroud is fucking boooooooooring to watch.  And both of them can survive fine in the wild, Bear just realizes he doesn't have to be a dumbfuck and actually spend a week filming shit quality videos alone.

This is a real survival knife. I made a template for one in my own design, a little different. But this one takes the cake IMO.

Yes I am an expert on the matter.

Best statement yet in this thread. Fuck Bear Grylls, honestly. If he is not really out there surviving, the only reason he is squeezing water from a pile of shit is shock value and to get paid. If you actually want to learn something, Les Stroud and the guys on Dual Survival will teach you a lot more. Les Stroud is more of a badass for these short reasons; he carries his own camera gear, films and edits his own show, frequently backtracks to pickup camera after "getting the shot" regardless of whatever obstacle he may have to encounter again, and finally because he plays a mean harmonica.

If you REALLY want to learn something, pick up books! Try the "SAS Survival Handbook: For any climate, in any situation" by John "Lofty" Wiseman. There are many other good books out there as well, that is just a recommended starting point.

And I personally hate Gerber, just my own opinion. But as mentioned above the LMF II, aka ASEK, is a much better choice than a glorified "Pro Model" knife for a narcissistic tool.

Bear Grylls was in the SAS making him more badass than Les Stroud and Dual Survivalist guys combined.

Bear Grylls is a showman.

Les is a survivalist.


Completely different shows, get over it. Talk to any survivalist out there, none of them would do the dumb shit that Bear does. Bear only does that crazy showman shit cus he has a crew with him in case he fucks up.

les sits in one place and bitches the whole time

it doesn't matter what bear does. he shoes you how to make the the shelter; where to find water; how to cook/eat/find food

les would never do half the shit bear does. you are much better off in the long term with bear's survival techniques.

well i guess if taking risks that could break your leg when you're already trying to survive makes sense then so be it.

how the fuck do you figure? bear could never survive a week in the sahara or amazon being tracked by a jaguar..grylls sleeps in hotels, lies about his supplies, depends on what the filming crew brings with them, and lies about what he 'builds'


he is nothing more than a showman...a good showman, but no survivor like he claims
