And he doesn't tell you to drink your own piss!

Every time I hear an argument being marketed by saying that this or that appeal to "those of lesser intelligence", I automatically hate it.
rakhsh
Also well worth checking out is the Primitive Technology YouTube channel. Amazing stuff and straight to the point.

Instructions unclear: drank my own piss

All in all they're both TV shows, no matter how real or fabricated. You still learn and will be entertained in the comfort of your couch.

Ginseng is a plant in and of itself...it can not be IN ANOTHER PLANT unless you put it there! Grylls is a dumbass!
glowingsoulful
You make it difficult for people to hear this message when you insult them, But I guess you have superior intelligence so it doesn't matter
ZehPara
but does he drink his own piss?
ImperialWatch
Yes, he does.

"If im not carful I might have to drink my own piss*shakes head* yeah right" - les
nerdgasma
All I hear is this.." *in a caveman voice* Grylls weak, Stroud strong". Whatever dude I respect both. They approach situations differently.
Iamthelaughingman
If Grylls were legit he would make his shitty K-Mart survival gear lighter and more practical. A 1lb pocket knife? Give me a break.
kennedy9154
Saw a Grylls episode where he was in Alaska I think...he pointed out a certain plant and said IT HAS GINSENG IN IT.

This is society. And no one cares.

This was JUST on the FP.

Lmao, Survivorman gets downright depressing. "I'm gonna use the last of my food to try to get more...." "I'm out of food, maybe tomorrow..."

Better drink pee and in his honor
previoustopcomment
that is the reality in a survival situation.
FullGrownChild
When Naked and Afraid came out, I thought it was just a stupid gimmick. But after watching it, it truly shows the harshness of nature 1
degenerateace
One of my favorite shows
FullGrownChild
And how challenging it would be to adapt if you truly had nothing with you 2

But how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?!

With the exception of the sheeping bag, I've never watched abutting bear grylls. I've seen every episode of Survivorman a couple times

Anything*
garytufin
I have always admired his show and seen more of his than Bear's

TheNeverEndingNameHaJustKidding
I feel like Survivorman was usually "I'm trying to survive, ah dang I didn't do so great, oh well" and Bear went to (1/2)
TheNeverEndingNameHaJustKidding
the extent of "here's everything that could possibly go wrong, and how to deal with it"
Esdog
What's his show called?
Noirz
Survivorman i think it was, too lazy to google to verify.
Esdog
Thanks!
plasmarob
Survivorman. Excellent. You grow to respect the guy. I laugh at him walking into the distance. You'll be back... for the camera.
Esdog
Haha thanks

I got a classic. Bushtuckerman les hiddins

Fukkin awesome bloke, and top show
Forge4life
Yes! Why don't more people know about this guy??
nwdle1
Ray Mears is my favourite survival expert, he learns alot from the local people and doesn't act like he knows it all, bear grylls is piss.
Theodrian
You are what you eat.

Marlin Perkins was the OG

But can he tell me why kids prefer the cinnamon sweet taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch?

He probably could with science.
ticktockbent
Because kids like sugar.

My 10 yo brother hates the cinnamon sweet taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Even tho' I like the cinnamon sweet taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch

1. I remember back in like, 2008, before Bear Grylls was largely regarded as a charlatan, I was watching Man vs. Wild. He was on the tundra
MunckDude
Sure it wasn't the testicle of the yak?
flamingflamingo
2. with some native, and they stumbled across a dead baby yak (or something). The native told Bear that they would eat it, even though it >
flamingflamingo
5. seriously ill. That was when I realized that Bear is a fucking fake and has no fucking idea what he's actually doing.
flamingflamingo
3. it was rotten. So Bear cut off a slice and ate it right up. Made him sick because it was so gross. The native just stares at him like >
flamingflamingo
4. he's an idiot and says, "What are you DOING? You have to COOK IT FIRST." Like what he just did was EXTREMELY dangerous and he might get >

Bear was an SAS soldier, toughest gig in the world. I think it unwise to doubt his skills. It is, after all, only tv.

BiteTheHandsThatThieve
Sure but for pure wilderness survival, Stroud is the one I'd want by my side. Bear can help me fight against an invasion or something.
deykamol
my boyfriend's dad worked with Grylls for a while. Can confirm he is an utter moron who would have died several times if not for his crew.
MushroomFiend
I kind of doubt that. The SAS is one of the best special operations programs in the world. They must know how to survive in the wild.
soso456
Special forces rarely know how to survive in EVERY situation because each type of environement require a formation and iirc he didn't 1/2
soso456
spent a lot of years in the sas so I doubt he had more than a generalist and minimal formation about survival in the wild. 2/2
deykamol
well he once asphixiated himself by swallowing an octopus tentacle that suckered on to his throat and got stuck so.
deykamol
he also stayed in hotels while his crew (boyfriend's dad included) slept in a tent outside.
unitedhello
Pretty sure that's more the network not being willing to pay for the rooms. He could've slept outside as well, but it's hardly his fault.
fingersb
Grylls was an SAS reservist and has climbed Everest, Les is a Canadian folk singer and survival expert different skill sets really
EricMatthews
I think he was in the French Foreign Legion as well
Shquag
Wasn't it leaked a couple of years ago that bear sleeps in hotels and not at the actual locations?
PolarHailStorm
Indeed. What it comes down to is marketing and TV and such.
SaintSebastian
I think it comes down to who looks best drinking their own urine. But that's just because I enjoy watersports...
notthesameasmyotheraccountss
I think the creator of this infographic needs to reserve some of his SAS.
XYPH3R
Man vs Wild wasnt meant to be a show on how Grylls could survive in the wild. People call him a pussy when it was meant to be informative.
Zaayl
To my knowledge bear hasn't gone off in search of "Bigfoot" so he has that going for him...
Zaayl
Why am I being downvoted? Do people not know Les has a bigfoot show now?
thegreenknight7
I had not heard of that. Looked it up, son of a bitch he went looking for bigfoot with a crazy person.
eldarriath
Crazy people*
BilboTeabagginsOfTheShire
Yeah if you dropped them both in a cage, you bet your ass i'm putting all of my money on Grylls

What inspires a person to reply to every comment with this? Do the points mean that much to you? Fuck dude...

theluckyking
I assume hes saying drink pee to honor bears military service, which consuming pee is a running joke with bear....
Reemy420
Also Bear has a wife and child to make sure he gets home to.

IIRC, if something goes wrong, he has a group of first responders roughly 5 miles away.

They're usually at the nearest station and it serves as great practice for local rescue.

Everest has a 10% mortality rate...they often go in groups of 20 and come back with 18...it's absolutely an incredible feet
wuttheshit
"Everest is a tourist stop" is possibly the dumbest thing you've ever said. Take pictures after you climb it.

If you really believe there isn't inherent danger avoidable with money, talk to the 22 people that died in 2015, or the 17 people in 2014.

Taking risks isn't a skill, mitigating risks is. The question is whether or not Bear was the one mitigating risks or his guides.
