Northwest Members - Man VS. Wild In Oregon/Idaho

I love the the outdoors so I'm kinda hyper about tonight's show. Bear's getting dropped off in Hell's Canyon on the Idaho side and making his way over to Oregon. Channel 707 @ 7 and 11 Comcast

i cant stand that guy he is a fake in every sense of the word. Sorry to say that but i really like survivor man a lot more. Hope you enjoy it though.

You are going off what you read a while back huh? Don't believe the hype man :) Survivor Man is pretty good. Two different shows... Bear is a little more entertaining and hardcore IMO.

If you want to call eating a gigantic maggot fake then....yeah I guess so.

Yeah I always knew all this stuff is staged, but it is entertaining to watch him eat some shit that noone starving or not would ever eat.

The dude is a joke.. And you think he is hardcore??? How can someone be hardcore when he has a camera crew follow him every where he goes?

Are you talking about Les Stroud???

This dude is by FAR more superior than Bear would ever hope to be..

And yes it is all staged to a point.. But Man vs Wild is more of a setup show than the damn Real World.. ha ha.

ya he is entertaining but i will give my reasons for not liking him.

1. he showed a bear print on a tree and there was bark cut out where the pad was. I mean how can a bears pad tear bark off a tree? :eyes:

2. he does things that are flat out stupid and if someone (a real person trying to survive) did not have a camera crew to get them out they would be dead if they injured themselves like baer did when he broke his arm or whatever.

3. i saw him take off running and go sliding down a slope because he saw a bear print. lol if he only knew the range bears cover.

4. the things he builds, that the perfect tipi made out of perfect size and length sticks that would take someone forever to find. or that above water thing in florida he made in a tree that also would have taken forever to make. or the raft when he was on the island.

Honestly i think the show is a complete joke and it is very entertaining i would almost never take it serious.

Let's see you get out there and do half the shit he does...you wouldn't. I take his show with a grain of salt but to say everything is staged is B.S. The guy can swim and climb like a champ.

Ha ha I would LOVE to be able to do what he does.... Hell I would do it for less than half the amount that guy gets paid for. Without the help of a camera crew(Les Shroud).

Growing up in small cow town of 2k people my hole life. There really wasn't that much to do... Except shit like this.

Lol...he does pull off some stupid shi* sometimes. Like I said, he's more of an entertainer then Les. He's got some talent regardless and watching him eat some of the stuff he comes across, well that's almost worth watching by itself :D

Get out there then man :) Even getting paid half of what Bear does you could go pay cash towards a couple different color Z06 :nod:

You are right about some of the stuff he does. It is entertaining..

But hey check out Les Stroud's site. He is going to be in Seattle, Showing off the SPOT!

Lmao.. No shit.. Or get my burnt SS fixed... lmao

lol... bear is entertaining but Les > Bear any day of the week.

BEAR GRILLS IS A DAMN SHAME! he doesnt have crap on survivorman!

if any of you think you are more hardcore than bear. go join the SAS like he did and see how well you fare. look up his stats on wikipedia. the dude is a badass.


Everest

In 1998, Grylls achieved his childhood dream, and a Guinness World Record (since surpassed), as the youngest Briton, at 23, to summit Mount Everest, just eighteen months after breaking his back. However, James Allen, an Australian/British climber who ascended Everest in 1995 with an Australian team, but who has dual citizenship, beat him to the summit at age 22.[22]. The expedition led by former SAS officer Neil Laughton and including childhood friend Mick Crosthwaite, involved nearly three months on Everest's southeast face, from his first reconnaissance climb on which he fell in a crevasse and was knocked unconscious, regaining consciousness to find himself swinging on the end of a rope, to the grueling ascent that took him past extreme weather, fatigue, dehydration, last-minute illness, sleep deprivation and almost running out of oxygen inside the death zone

You are right about some of the stuff he does. It is entertaining..

The only difference between Bear and Les is, Bear gets a cuddle buddy at night and Les doesn't..j/k! Yeah I will check that out. I watch them both for the most part.

dude.. he has a camera crew with him. I dont care what he did in the SAS. Ive seen bear grilZ get help from his camera man one time when he fell down a hole. Surivor man doesnt have help.... PERIOD!!!

did the survivor man ever climb everest when he was 23? 18 months after breaking is back?

Wow what did I start? LMAO!!!!!!!

did the survivor man ever climb everest when he was 23? 18 months after breaking is back?

no but we are not bashing his accomplishments but more of how fake his show is. I mean the guy of that caliber should be embarassed to be on that show doing the things he does or what the show makes him do i guess.

well with the economy the way it is hes lucky to have a job at all. so whatever it takes to pay the bills man

Thing is, if both shows were the same it would get kinda boring. Don't you guys like the fact that Survivor Man and M.V.W. are unique in their own way? Just because he has a camera crew with him doesn't mean they got their nose up his ass the whole time helping him out. Both good shows. The most important thing is, who would win in a fist fight? :)

my money is on bear grylls. les might sing him a sweet song though. i heard hes got a few cds out or something

LOOOOOL :D

"Ode To My Bear" was his first smash hit.

Jerimiah Johsnon would crush both of them so it does not really matter :nod:

LOL, yes i guess.. but if had to camp with one of them.. i think les would be less annoying

Ha Ha..there's a name I haven't heard for a while :D

Jerimiah Johnson is da man!!!!! :)

Jerimiah Johnson is da man!!!!! :)

yes he is

Ha Ha..there's a name I haven't heard for a while :D

ya i love that movie. So how did the show go?

It was alright. The beginning was kinda cool. He took a stick about 8-10ft long and pole vaulted himself down the mtn to avoid walking on loose rocks/dirt. Then high jumped over the river with it. I'm sure someone who watches it will say there was a trampoline hidden somewhere :)

pfft, this is like Jeff Corwin vs Irwin. Les Stroud is a million times more legit. ANYONE SEE THE JAGUAR CHASE IN THE AMAZON?! I sure did.

I still watch Man vs. Wild but what ticked off people is that they originally made it look like he was building all these things himself and that he was out in the middle of no where with just a camera man not helping him.

What it turned out to be is all staged and he was less than a 1/4 mile from major roads...look on youtube and you'll see some examples.

Anyways, I watch it for entertainment but I'm not impressed with much that he does knowing that he has a safety harness or life jacket on during the shoots and then goes to a hotel at night. :eyes:
