Bear Grylls - love him or loathe him?

[Bonefish Blues]

Lofty has been quoted as saying he would take Ray Mears with him if there was a survival situation. Mainly because he'd make more meals....

Always trust a fat survivalist. His girlfriend's quite a woman too, iyswim.

I'll tell you something about Bear Grylls - his coats aren't up to much.

I've got a bear coat. It's very waterproof

Bear Grylls: true or false?

 

[MacB]

Does it have to be love or loathe, can't we just be indifferent?

 

[Welsh wheels]

Sometimes I am much like Bear - when I am taking a bath.

Bear Grylls: true or false?

Either....or neither?

He's not my cup of tea but I think he's been very clever - it's probably not easy to make money out of bushcraft and survival, and he knows what he's good at and knows how to transfer that in to a popular TV show. So hats off to him I guess.

Yeah I don't think people would pay to see me climb up some rocks and drink my own urine. I don't have the same appeal.

And has Bear ever sharpened a knife on a car window?

"Lofty" Wiseman.

Depends where I was going, if it was Boreal Forest I think I'd take Lars Fält.

You might be surprised....

I'll give you a quid if you can neck a pint of the stuff

[QUOTE 5021842, member: 259"]Thus stunning the fish that he would then feast upon. Ray is the man. And another half of a man. I bet Bear Grylls wouldn't even recognise a pignut if he saw it in his minibar.[/QUOTE]
Indeed, and when we needed to escape we'd simply float out on him.

I didn't dislike him till I saw his 30 foot high mug plastered over a local evangelical church.

They did not climb commando ridge but pissed around on a side gully. They did not sleep in the bivvy but went to a nearby hotel around 6pm. A climbing friend was around at the time,

As far as I'm concerned, you can't beat a good Les.

Stroud or Hiddins.
