CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 Go on, if you were stranded in some dangerous terrain, who would you rather have with you?
theunderstudy Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 Ray mears, every day of the week. legend.
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted November 28, 2010 Author Posted November 28, 2010 Ray would keep you well fed and sheltered, but Grylls would get you the **** out of there.
kidlewis Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 Ray would keep you well fed and sheltered, but Grylls would get you the **** out of there. exactly, Grylls would have you back in your own home by the weekend Whereas Mears would have you in your own "Robin Hood Prince Of Thieves" Village in the forest with pulley systems, irrigation systems and tree houses by the weekend.
MattJ83 Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 Ray. He knows what he is doing to an extent. The guys that support them are far better at survival. They are the guys that have trained me in the past for jungle stuff and its amazing what they know!
Frobisher Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 Ray! Bear would get you killed with the shit he does - traversing a steel beam at about one hundred feet up to get a rancid pigeon egg? Screw that.
Stevo985 Posted November 28, 2010 VT Supporter Posted November 28, 2010 All bear would do is make you drink piss and eat shit and small animals while they're alive. That's not what I want. I want someone to keep me alive. Ray is that man.
saturdaygig Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 Ray, because I don't know who bear is. He's definately not as famous as Thom Yorke.
claret75 Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 The boy Grylls pips it for me. I'd gladly put my life in his more than capable hands. Top man.
CVByrne Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 Ray would keep you well fed and sheltered, but Grylls would get you the **** out of there. **** spot on. Ray would start building a gaff and cooking nice feasts. Bear would get you the **** out of there sharpish.
Brumerican Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 Depends on the location really. If it was an otter reserve or a butterfly farm then Ray's clearly the man . If I was actually in any danger then I would go with Grylls. Ray "Chiles" Mears is only one more dandelion and nettle souffle away from a heart attack by the looks of it.
theunderstudy Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 Brumerican - that is outrageous sir! Ray will keep you safe and build you a shelter, bear will just make you eat insects then sleep in hotels
Brumerican Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 Brumerican - that is outrageous sir! Ray will keep you safe and build you a shelter, bear will just make you eat insects then sleep in hotels The whole hotel thing has been blown out of proportion ! It happened ages ago, Bear apologised for misleading anyone and they have long since made it clear before every show that it is educational entertainment Channel 4 confirmed that Grylls had used hotels during expeditions and ordered the production company that made the programme to investigate the other claims. A spokesman said: 'We take any allegations of misleading our audiences seriously. 'Bear does do all his own stunts and does put himself in perilous situations. 'But Born Survivor is not an observational documentary series but a "how to" guide to basic survival techniques in extreme environments. The programme explicitly does not claim that presenter Bear Grylls's experience is one of unaided solo survival.' From the Daily Mail in 2007! That's nearly 4 years ago so you can drop the "he stays in hotels " bollocks. I watch both Mears and Grylls and enjoy both their styles but Bear wins hands down in the survival tough guy stakes. (In all honesty, Bear's camera man is the real hero )
theunderstudy Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 Boo!!!! (It was only a dig anyway ) The cameramen are heroes because they have to follow them everywhere...
