Bear Grylls

Is there anything this man can't do? I've seen him cut open a deer and sleep in it, squeeze the juice out of elephant poop and drink it, drink his own urine, kill a rabbit with a stick, eat bugs, eat the flesh off of a raw zebra, escape quicksand, jump into a six foot deep pool of mud, build a raft and escape from a pacific island to try to find a rescue ship... The man makes Steve Irwin look like a pussy. Man vs. Wild may be the funniest show on television right now.

Watch Bear piss on his shirt and turn it into a hat to keep cool.

And here, Bear can be seen jumping into a frozen lake, only to escape, get completely naked, rub snow all over his body, and do push-ups to retain body heat.

Agree, I love this show. A few weeks ago I forget where he was but he came across a spiders web and just picked up the spider and ate it. And when he killed that rabbit by throwing the stick at it, yeah I laughed.

I was waiting for you to start a thread on Bear,LLC.

This man is a fucking freak. He's hilarious,crazy,sick,twisted and an out right looney dude.

Seriously, this aint for those with weak stomachs.

When he killed the rabbit, that was hilarious!

Wasn't that the same one where he tried to tame a wild horse, and failed miserably?

Haha, the taming of the horse was pretty funny. He tried to jump on it and the horse just ran off.

The show is pretty amazing. If I had Tivo or DVR or something that let me record shows I'd record every single episode of that show.

There are a few full length episodes on youtube.

Colletti, you should check out the video of him squeezing the juices from elephant shit and drinking it that I posted over in Gina's thread on Mike Rowe.

There's no way that was a wild horse. No wild horse would let him get that close.

The show still rules though. One of my favorites was when he grabbed a small snake, bit the head off and spit it out, then ate the rest of the body raw, all in one motion.

This guy really is crazy when it comes to "surviving". I've seen interviews with him and even he admits that some of the stuff he eats doesn't sit well in his stomach and it comes back up. But if it were a true survival situation, that is the sort of thing you have to try in order to live.

The show where he bites into the belly of a live fish and eats it raw/live is pretty crazy as well. I predict he's the next guy to die "on the job" like the Crocodile Hunter.

I remember when he ate the snake. The body was still moving and convulsing when he put it in his mouth.

I think what's crazier then the fish, is when he found a dead zebra, and tore right into the flesh, and began eating the meat, raw, right off the bone.

He's an ex-SAS man so he has to be a bit loopy!
When he drank the juice out of the shit....now that was pretty awful

Ive seen several episodes. It's a great show.

It's hilarious, even great, but surely you guys mean for all the wrong reasons, right?

Unless this guy doesn't actually take himself seriously, I think he's the biggest pile of phony bullshit ever.

That jump into the icy lake is brilliant. It has me literally creased whenever I watch it. As if!

What about when he finds a dead sheep and chooses to cook some of its body and eye ball in boiling hot water from a volcano?

I haven't seen that one yet.

That's basically what I get from the show. I've just been "praising" him in something of a satirical way.

The man honestly is crazy. And I still contest he makes 007 look like a pussy.

While doing the TV Listings for August, I noticed that your buddy Bear is gonna be on Jimmy Kimmel on Monday 8/6 (apparently a repeat of the 7/13 show)

What channel is he on and when?

Here I was thinking I didn't have to look it up cuz I'm lazy...

The site says he's on 12:05AM / 11:05C on ABC

JG, why do you do TV listings? What are you looking for, showings of The Godfather or anything Mafia related?

Why do I do TV Listings? It's a free public service that I thought people here (at least in the USA) would find handy. If you go there you'll see the kinds of listings I post...

Yeah, that's what I thought. It's very useful. I'd definitely use it if I were living over there. Good idea. Perhaps I should do the same for every film over here, for the FCM boards...

Nah.

Thanks for looking it up for me Geoffy, cuz I AM lazy.

Its been in the papers over here lately that in between all his antics and escapades he has been spending nights in 5* hotels
People think he may be a fraud......
Still a great show to watch though!

Yeah, I read about that. I'll post the article later.

Really, I don't think it matters; he still does everything we see him doing on the show.

I heard that too. But the elephant dung found in the five star hotels can't compare to the elephant dung found in the jungle.

You know, I think this whole hotel thing just makes him look even crazier. I recall an episode where he was shown cutting open a dead dear, and then crawling inside of it to sleep in it as to protect himself from an incoming wind storm. But now, all I can think is, "why in the hell didn't he just go to a hotel that night?"

I dont care where he sleeps at night. The point of the show is to show you tips if you get stranded in a place like him. I know most people cant go half of what he does but he is at least showing what you could do to help get you out of a place.

And even if he does go to a hotel, he still shows you how to make some kind of tent for the night.

I'd still beat him in a fight.

I bet you could as well mate
