Bear Grylls

[chickensnake]

he is very knowldgeable, but he does kill alot of unnecisary things...he killed that monitor and only ate a few bites, he killed a rare endangered turtle and ate the legs, half the stuff he kills he wastes 95% of it. I enjoy watching him but he peeves me off with the killing and not eating. he will kill anything that has no defence against a stick or rock, yet when faced with a spitting cobra he pooed his undies and then poked a camera in its face, he was being tracked by a bear and pooed himself ran away lol, he was on a half sunk raft in the middle of the ocean was surrounded by tiger sharks and guess what .....pooed himself. When faced with something that can take him he pooes himself and runs away if he can dominate and kill it to have 2-3 bites of an animal that could be a 3 course meal he will. And no he was not in a survival situation at anytime

not saying you done webcol but no body is having a dig at you for your area of expertise ...
...
and i have watched his show many times... and he never kills any animal for no reason at all, there is always some reason for it... and even though we all love snakes on here, just because he kills one doesn't make him evil...

 

[naledge]

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..

A lot of people have accomplished a lot of great things in their lives.

Hey, Gary Glitter won 'Best Male Artist' does that give him the right to download "thousands of items of child pornography"?

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...

Sorry but you're very ignorant, don't believe everything you see. He is not knowledgeable at all, it's not hard to google something and then say it to a camera, or in his case, ask the bloke on the other side of the camera.
I highly doubt he would have died if he didn't kill that Olive Python in the Kimberly, where it was "58 Degrees Celsius with 100% humidity" haha, literally impossible, the highest recorded temp in Australia is only 50.3 degrees in Oodnadatta in SA, high humidity prevents temperatures from getting so high.. As I said, a temperature that high with 100% humidity is literally impossible, just goes to show how full of **** he is. Along with Austen Stevens and his "cyclone" in the middle of winter
Oh and by the way, "Bear" doesn't drink his own piss in that same Kimberly episode. While I'm bursting your bubble, I might as well tell you that Santa, the Tooth Fairy, and unfortunately the Easter Bunny, are not real.

The only reason he kills them is to make money. That is the only reason.

 

[Frustration]

okay ... wow...
so if you guys were in a life or death situation and the only food you might find is a snake... you would leave it because its beautiful and placid...
and it doesnt matter if he has support there, he doesnt use it... and he is illustrating a point... and yes sometimes it is uncalled for i agree.... but the majority of times it isnt...

 

[NoURdeadRight]

yeah his a money grabber

 

[webcol]

Not evening talking about the killing, but some of the things is stupid. I.e this is a dangerous cliff, care must be taken climbing down etc so he runs down it almost sliding of it, making rafts that just sink, that raft he made and got swept out to sea... Not the best way to show people how to survive

 

[herpsman]

well maybe, no reason isn't the best phrase, no good reason would be better as all he kills them for is TV

 

[chondrogreen]

The bloke has been killing animals all season and not 1 single thread untill now. Is this because its a Reptile? lol
Bias much? Nah of course not governor haha.

For the record I think he is awsome.
Have learnt many ideal things from him that has aided my hunting trips.

He wasn't in a life or death situation.

he isn't in a life or death situation. He could just say they may be eaten.
How is it about survival when he has a hunting knife, flint, warm clothes and a parachute...
Who is prepared when they become lost..

he was never in a "life or death situation" lol but all in all he is awesome...just needs to eat more of what he kills

No, he always kills reptiles. Reptiles and bugs and fish. The only time I've seen him kill mammals is when he's with tribes, and fair enough, the tribes kill mammals so that they can survive, I have no problem with that.

I'm not being biased, I suppose I don't mind when he kills fish. But I hate everything else.

The only time I've seen him kill things other than fish, reptiles and bugs was a hedgehog thing for an African tribe and a Yak that was bred for food for a Siberian tribe.

okay... looks like its me against everyone lol...
...
trust me i dont believe everything i see... and maybe he isnt knowledgeable, but what if he is, how would you know... so dont call me ignorant for expressing my opinion...
and if you recall he was actually refering to the temperature on the ground at that point and the reference to humidity was an exaggeration... maybe you shouldnt take everything so literally ... im sure you have exaggerated for effect every once in a while ...
as for saying he is full of it... totally uncalled for... and unjustified ... you dont know him at all.. so why do you automatically asume the worst

You dont know him at all, so why do you assume the best?

as i have said i like him..needs to eat more blah blah blah...BUT you DONT know him either, do you? he could be a total opposite to what you have said who knows. someone get me the adress to nat geo and i will write him a letter and all these posts will be included lol

 

[Frustration]

chondrogreen woow... yeah...
...
it is a simulation of a life or death situation... and sure the things he does are for affect, but he is still able to do them... and just because he kills a snake or two doesnt mean you guys have the right to call him a phony...

I don't think he's full of it, he seems to know what he's doing. I just think what he's doing is totally pointless.

And there's a 'Survival Consultant' in the credits, so he may not be as knowledgeable as we think, but I dunno.
