I can't believe I used to like 'man vs wild'

He just killed a harmless monitor for no reason at all.

People like this disgust me. He can show people how to survive without resorting to swinging an animal into a branch 'for the lulz'.
 
yeah he is a total and utter ****er.I really dont know how he gets away with stuff like that.

You do know its all set up and fake with like 20 people standing around dont you
 
Glad I'm not the only one who's mad about it, ye he's an idiot, he could have just said in a survival situation you could eat this which i see reason for, he didnt have to kill it just for tv
 
Yeah he spun me out to, He found this nice big exotic python or boa, not sure what it was. I thought i was whatching a quality documenty, the next thing i learn, his beating it over the head with a stick saying he wont go hungary tonight.
 
i believe i am going out on a limb here and i will be going against the majority...
but i think bear grylls is incredible...
the amount of knowledge he has, and the things he can do is simple stunning...
granted he does some very unnecessary things but for the major part he is quite amazing...
 
Heaps survival, like when your have a parachute, Hunting knife and a flint, not to mention a film crew director medics and all the experts to tell him what things are... That show is a complete joke. Hope he gets bittiin by a Eastern brown.

The knowledge the people they pay to follow him around have. I doubt he would know much. it would be difficult to learn the fauna and flora of all those countries, would take years of study.
He is just some dude who is willing to do some stupid stuff like kill things, swim in ice and drink urine so they gave him a show. Its not educational its entertainment
 
He just murdered a nice Mangrove snake on the same show. There are different ways to show peple how to survive without killing animals for no reason. Sure, if it was a life and death situation...than do it, but you can tell he is well hydrated and has a good supply of food on standby.

Yeah I do haha.

He did a few episodes in Australia I think, I want to watch them. I can't see the Australian government agreeing to letting him swing a lace monitor around his head and hack death adders to death because 'if he doesn't get them, they'll get him'

Did he eat it? I didnt watch tonights show, but usually find his show funny and a little informative.

Our land has a tradition of killing and eating monitors, humans are likely to have wiped out Megalania (Varanus prisca) from hunting and environmental destruction soon after their arrival.

I prefer to keep them alive and kill other animals to feed them and i am biased because of this, but they are just another animal made of meat at the end of the day.
 
ive seen one episode where he was in australia. he found a nice sized olive. fortunately thanks to our laws he was unable to kill it but he said that if you dont need to kill it right away just carry it live with you until you do.
 
actually if you learn more about the man before criticize him...
you would know he is quite remarkable...
he is one of the youngest men ever to climb mount everest...
he is very well educated and skillful, speaks several languages and does a variety of martial arts...
he served in the military for many years... and has had ridiculous life experiences...
so dont talk him down... when no body here could come near to accomplishing what he has..

He drank his own pee and humaley killed, cooked and ate an Olive Python, i would happily eat an Olive Python if it was nicely cooked, but i dont find the pee thing very appeeling.

He ate about one or two mouthfulls.

I think every animal should only be killed if it has to, and should only be killed humanely. He has no reason to kill any of the animals he does and he usually takes his time taunting them before he kills them.

I enjoy most of the show, I just hate these parts with a passion.
 
I really enjoy his show. I couldn't care less if it's set up. He us meant to be an ex English sas soldier so he should have those survival skills. But who knows if that's true. But I agree that there is no need to kill the animals! He just cut the head off suck a beautiful snake, that part makes me angry. There is no need to do that. But apart from that I enjoy the show abs it has dmsome really interesting stuff!
 
I know he's done some pretty amazing things but does that give him the right to kill animals for no good reason?

Pfft, i havent climbed a mountain but im quite proud of what i have achieved in my life.
 
The Mangrove Snake looked really friendly, he was screwing with it for a few minutes and it didn't even strike at him. To sum it up:

"This is such a beautiful snake. It's dangerous, it can numb your arm for a couple of days. Such a beautiful snake. I'm going to cut it's head of now and eat one bite"
