do u watch man vs wild?!?
i'm watching it right now on the discovery channel & its pretty damn crazy. in the beginning of the episode, he had to drink his own urine so he wouldn't be dehydrated && then caught a live snake to get his protein. thats crazy!! now i know what to do next time im hungry & too lazy to go grocery shopping. ha!
what have u guys learned from the show?! (p.s. he seems to have a cute british accent so it does belong in this category. =)
okay.. well duh. we all KNOW that he has a whole entire staff to help him find things to eat & clues to figure out direction. the point of the show is to teach us viewers how to survive if we were ever in that situation, not to see if he's smart enough to do it on his own. .... && the urine episode isn't a figment of my imagination, i saw it! it was the australia episode, check it out! :)

bear is frickin fantastical. they should mass produce him, and sell him at walmart, so the next time you get lost on an alaskan glacier, or the middle of iceland, you'll be able to find your way home.

I like watching his show. I never saw the urine episode, but I did see him pick up a snake before and take several bites from it.......guess it's no different than sushi though, raw. Yeah, it's crasy, but if we were stranded somewhere way off like that.....we'd do what we had to if we wanted to live to ya know? Yeah, I like his accent too, lol, he's pretty cool. If I'm ever stranded somewhere, I sure hope it's with him! I also saw him eat maggots (NOW THAT, NO WAY IN HELL!!) and also termites from a piece of rotten wood.
For me it would have to be grasshoppers, with some chocolate fondue!

Yes, Bear is amazing, yet still down to earth. He has published several books, and set a couple world records as well. He is the youngest person to climb MT. Everest, and broke his back in 3 places from a parachute fall. He was told he would never walk again. Very interesting person.

Its all bull crap. He has planned routes, staff members to save him should he get in trouble, and his accent doesn't exactly fit in very well with the wilderness.
Before he goes to a location he researches EVERYTHING about EVERYTHING so that he knows what is dangerous and what he can eat. Not exactly something you can do in a real survival situation.
He does pass along some good info, but I know he did not drink his own urine. The first thing we learn in hunters education is to NEVER ever drink your own urine.
When he was in the desert he took off his underwear and pissed on it, then he applied it to his head to "help cool himself off" which was totally something that should not be done. He could have just used his underwear for a hat and it would have absorbed his sweat, in effect doing just as good without having piss on his head. He never drank urine.

I don't like the show. It's all trumped up. On one episode he talked about how dangerous the jungle was and how he had to be on guard against all these dangers. Meanwhile 200 yards away there were children playing. It seems the innocent children were fairing just a good as this "commando". lol...
What a poseur!!!!

I saw that tonight. One time he ate the maggots right out of a dead animal. The other time he ate the dead animal.
