Bear Grylls Eats A Fish ..yuck

[corey01]

Watch here

Used to always watch his programmes.. this kinda put me off though, spesh when the guts squirt out when he bites it. i mean why did he have to eat it? sure if its life or death but it wasnt really for him.

he ate a frog alive in another episode

I have watched a lot of his programmes and to be fair i find him annoying but its nice to know that if i am ever stranded in an arctic environment and have the luxury of fish to eat that i would est it war....NOT!

In one programme he squeezes some semi dry camel s.h.i.t so he could drink the fluid that comes from it. Lovely stuff

wasnt he proved to be a fraud?

 

[Esfa]

He's a total knob tbh, and a complete fake. He makes out he's going to spend the night out in the wilderness, freezing his nadgers off, when secretly he gets helicoptered to the nearest hotel. There's a vid on youtube somewhere where he's saying that he's in the middle of nowhere, miles away from any human contact, and that it's going to be a tough night. And then you see a lorry go down the motorway behind him...

He also claims to have been through all this 21st SAS special training, but he was actually in the 21st SAS, which is a reserve regiment that anyone can apply for, and you only have to do normal training, its not like the hardcore SAS soldiers.

Also, reading his biog on his website, it would be impossible for him to have completed all he claims to have done in the three years he was "allegedly" in. It's a part time basis and whilst they have to complete the same four week selection as regulars, the rest of the continuation training has to be done on an "as available" basis. Full continuation training for regular troopers, including specialisation, is about 18 months. Mr Grylls also claims to have been a member of about three troops, each of which requires its own specialist training, mountain warfare, freefall parachute etc, and to cap it all, he took part in exercises, which would have required him to have been fully trained. I'm sorry, but that doesn't happen in only three years. As for his so called survival skills, he hasn't got any. One of the golden rules of survival is not to drink your own urine, yet there he his, suggesting people do just that. A far better use for it would be pee in a hole and make a solar still. Another rule is never to expend more energy getting food than that food would provide, So good ole Bear scales a 60 odd foot cliff to eat one raw birds egg?

The guy is purely a marketable entertainment commodity with no real credibility amongst proper survival experts. He also has no care for the lives of animals.


Sorry long rant. But I hate him.

Esfa,

Seeing as you are based in Andover, can i assume you are either serving yourself or a pad brat? Either way, a proper member or ex member of the SAS would not be able to show his face publically and makes the claims he has done unless he has explicit permission from the MOD. I doubt that would happen.

If you see the recent series there is a disclaimer at the beginning stating that Bear is purposely put into certain situation for dramatic effect, or words to that effect.

If he claims to have completed the training he has and also claims to have served with the people he has, i would tend to believe him because he would be in a whole load of c.ra.p if it were found out that he lied about it all, so there must be an element of truth behind it. My guess is he is being selective about his claims rather than lying about them.

Also, the first vid you posted was quite funny

 

[invader]

I don't care if it's true or not -- I still love his show.

I am neither.

Exactly, yet it says it right there on his biog.

It wasnt on the older ones, was it?

 

[fry_lover]

lol, another attention seeker

 

[corey01]

alright no more arguments, i feel responsible now

 

[Corleone]

wasnt he proved to be a fraud?

He was, and not just the hotel thing. He's given some wonderful advice on how to drown yourself or get hypothermia. What's-his-name on Survivorman at least is the real deal, and he's actually out there surviving without a support crew of 30 following him around.
