Man vs Wild

[Acreboy]

Does anyone else watch this show religiously? I love it. It's just so interesting. I learn a lot every time I watch it. There are new episodes coming out sometime next week I think. Can't wait.

[familyguy555]

i watch it sometimes whenever my dad is watching it. its pretty cool but he eats the grossest stuff.

[Chucky]

Has anyone seen the show SurvivorMan with Les Stroud, seems like its kinda the same type of show.

[sdpads24]

This show is probably in my top 5 of shows on T.V. right now. The english guy is my favorite. It may seem kind of boring for first time viewers, but eventually it becomes really fascinating.

[princefielder28]

No, I watch church religiously

[bills_red]

I like it watchin it now

[ny10804]

It's the only non-sport, non-movie television I watch. My goal is to be the American Bear Grylls. Call me... Panda Stoves.

[TitleTown088]

Bear is his middle name. New season starts on June 15, I can't wait. Bear Grylls isn't hung like a horse, horses are hung like Bear Grylls.

[bantx]

what channel?

[fenikz]

i watched part of the show today, he was eating a zebra it was weird as hell

Your reaction when he squeezed and drank water out of elephant feces?

[NickBam]

I once watched him drink water from elephant dung, good times.

[Tubby]

I saw the last half of the rocky mountain one. It was pretty interesting.

[PalmerToCJ]

Your reaction when he squeezed and drank water out of elephant feces?

Yeah that was freaking gross.

I love that show and survivorman. Probably my favorite non-sports shows by far.

[bored of education]

I like watching the deadliest catch

[Acreboy]

what channel?Discovery Channel

[themaninblack]

discovery channel has some awesome shows between this, survivor man, deadliest catch, and cash cab it owns.

[757Dawg]

Great show.

Aside from LOST, it's my favorite show on TV. Those are the only two programs I make an effort to watch on a regular basis.

Cash cab is dank. If I got on I would win sooo much money, then go for the video bonus.

[bored of education]

I spent most of the day watching The Deadliest Catch marathon

[bantx]

discovery channel ahh the channel is so weird its like channel 3 where im from, you'd think they put it near history channel and all that stuff no they put it by the infomercial channels...i might start watching this it sounds intresting

[bored of education]

I like my channel set up Discovery, AE, Court TV and History Channel are right in order

[steelersfan43]

Survivorman is better.

[TitleTown088]

Survivorman is better.

Just because he tapes himself or what?

[bored of education]

ahh their is the rule.

[steelersfan43]

Just because he tapes himself or what?
Everything Bear grylls does is planed out/scripted with the camra men, half the crap he tells people they can do is seasonal, and most the time its not even the right time period when hes there, and he has no respect for the environments he tramples through.

How is it scripted? Was the episode in Alaska scripted when his boat sank in the middle of an iceberg filled ocean? As for Bear " having no respect for the environment". You're damaging the environment more by sitting on your computer and watching TV with the lights on than he does during his show.

Besides, how much are you going to "respect" anything when you're trying to survive?

[mikehop05]

the guy is my hero...

ive seen every episode, i dont even know what to say except its crazyyyy

also, so is deadliest catch

[mikehop05]

he actually didn't eat a few endangered species a couple times

a sea turtle for one when he was on the island

[bantx]

you guys like to watch old men fishing early in the morning on espn? or is it just me lol

that may be allll you on that one hahah

Has anyone seen the show SurvivorMan with Les Stroud, seems like its kinda the same type of show.
I love that show. I watched it a lot last summer, but kinda stopped. Is it still on with new episodes?

[PalmerToCJ]

Survivor Man seems more authentic in my mind. Some of the camera angles and other things on Man vs. Wild just seem fishy, not to say it couldn't be extremely well planned but I don't ever get that vibe from Survivor Man.

[Acreboy]

[mikehop05]

What?

/10characters

the episode when he was on the island i believe, he caught a sea turtle who happened to be endangered and he said that only if he was absolutely desperate would he ever eat and endangered species, then he let the turtle back into the sea

[bantx]

this man is crazy

survivor man just doesnt seem as badass as bear though, plus doesnt he take a lot more supplies with him

[umphrey]

Has anyone seen the show SurvivorMan with Les Stroud, seems like its kinda the same type of show.

Survivorman beats the crap out of Man vs Wild

Stroud gets left out in the middle of nowhere by himself, no camera guys or anything. Plus he actually reinacts crisis situations - one episode I watched him take a canoe out in the middle of nowhere and purposely crash it and he got all wet in a cold environment. He is badass, whenever you see a camera shot of him walking away or something he has to walk all the way back and pick up the camera after.

Bear Grill or whatever is kind of a ***** cuz he always has people around to help him and I've even seen him wearing a lifejacket during some shots...

[ncst8fan83]

the main difference in survivorman and man v. wild is that bear has to actually get OUT of where ever he is, while Les just has to survive for 7 days in one place. much harder to conserve energy, food, resources, etc, when you're on the move the entire day. the only time i've ever noticed something where i was sort of :confused: was when he crossed that ravine on those two ropes and flipped upside down and had the harness on the ropes. i'm sure if you were a climber you'd have that sort of thing, but a hiker trying to get out wouldn't hardly EVER carry climbing harnesses with them unless they knew they had to get up some steep mountain at some point. I enjoy Man v. Wild more than Survivorman, but as with all shows, it's obviously subjective to the viewer. I think they're both well done and they both serve their purpose well.

[themaninblack]

bear grylls>les stroud.

french foreign legion vs. harmonica toting weirdo. both shows are good but bear=badass in british.

[-black]

yeah this show is tight....i was laughin wen dude peed on his shirt and put it on his head to keep cool in the desert....and ate raw eggs and the shells

[PalmerToCJ]

Bear is more hardcore, no doubt about that. It's just that some shots seem fishy. Like one he was soaking wet and climbed up the shore and when he crested it he was dry. Normally that stuff doesn't bother me but on that show it makes me wonder.

It was hardcore when he killed that rabbit with the stick.

Anyone see the survivorman where he was stranded at sea and found some small little island? That one was sweet, they actually had to come and make sure he was safe during some crazy storm.

[Phrost]

Survivorman is > but after I watched the brit bite the head off of a live snake them eat its body right after, I am starting to change my mind.

[Acreboy]

New episodes tonight.

In other news, happy b-day ncst8fan83

Bear jumped in sub zero waters to show you how to get out if you fall through ice. Also you can see he jumps into quicksand in the new season. Camera man has no bearing on the show at all, only time they can help Bear is if he's going to die. Did you see where he crossed the volcano and Bear got yards ahead of the camera guy because their feet were catching on fire? Survivor man brings like 15 items to survive, Bear typically gets flint and a knife and sometimes they don't even give him flint. the rope he has usually comes from his parachute because he jumps in on his sites. I've never seen the life jacket either, he sailed on a cheap Cast Away style raft w/ no vest and had sharks chilling underneath him...

[bantx]

[Acreboy]

The new Alaska show was great. The ice tore his boat he found up.

He had the presence of mind to take off his jacket. because not only would it weigh him down but he used it for warmth.

Mans brilliant.

Friday 9pm est.

The one this week where he ate that scorpion was like whoa kick ass!!!

[themaninblack]

he also purposely went in waist deep in quicksand just to show how to get out.

[keylime_5]

Great show. I watch it every week. I have every episode he has every made taped on my Tivo.

[tEk]

Great show. I watch it every week. I have every episode he has every made taped on my Tivo.how many hour tivo you have. and at what quality are you recording?

[Acreboy]

New episode tonight. Just giving everyone a heads up. I think it's 9/8 Central

[Acreboy]

New episode, Austrailia (sp) is on right now.

[SubNoize]

damn we have 3 more hours to go here before i get to see it.

[BufFan71]

this man is a beast, he pissed on his shirt, and put the shirt on his head to cover him from the sun

[Acreboy]

this man is a beast, he pissed on his shirt, and put the shirt on his head to cover him from the sunNot in this episode. He straight drank his urine.

[bantx]

that episode where he swam in the freezing water he couldve died this show is so awesome!

[VY10]

The urine drinking was great - a warm, salty beverage to quench ones thirst on a hot Australian day.

[BufFan71]

cant u get like really sick from drinking your urine?

btw- the pissing on the shirt i was referring to the episode two nights ago

[Acreboy]

Replay of the new episode is on.

[Brent]

this show is the WWE pro wrestling version of survival but still rather enjoyable

[keylime_5]

He just shows how to get out of worst case scenarios, he's not saying you have to do that stuff to survive. But it's crazy that he goes around for days with only the stuff on him and no help from the crew. Next week's episode is in Scotland, and that's probably gonna be the best one of the season from what I've heard.

[ny10804]

Five things I've learned from Bear Grylls:

1. Always bring "a knife, a water bottle, and flint" no matter where you're going. If possible, add parachute to that list.
2. To find north (or is it south?), point the hour hand of your watch to the sun, and halfway between that and 12 o'clock is north (I'd find a way to screw this up in a survival situation).
3. Whenever your sleeping in a survival situation, you are required to wake up in the middle of the night and affirm that you've heard something outside.
4. The best, "least painful" way to kill a snake is to grab it by the tail, swing it over your head, and smash its head on a rock. Throwing a rock at its head will also do the job.
5. Even the most "no way this works" tactics will get the job done. Examples include: squeezing out water from elephant feces to drink, building a makeshift bow and arrow to catch fish, catching rodents by tying a slip knot to a plant, and killing a rabbit with a "throwing stick."

[jbeans187]

Check this guy out on wikipedia, its very interesting. I love the show, i know its somewhat planned out but i love it. Bear Grylls is for real, he broke his back while he was in the special forces, he does all kinds of charity work, he was the youngest briton to climb everest, and many more things
