anybody ever watch Man vs. Wild on the Discovery Channel

[SixFive]

if not, I highly recommend it. This guy, Bear Grylls, gets dropped in the most unhospitable environments, and he has to work his way out to civilization.

here's part 1 of his trip to the Rocky Mountains http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtY9uhnsxls

after it's over, there will be links on the side to the rest of the show. Enjoy.

I was wondering who else might be into this show, why am I not surprised Six:mj07:
Absolutely love it, seen them all, some two and three times:com: Best part is my about to be 4 year old son thinks its the best show around. The other day he asked if he could bring a flint to daycare? :scared He knows how to build shelters, and we did a mini raft that we built together. Great stuff!

awesome!! He gets into the water a little more than I think he should, but other than that, I think he's awesome in this show.

I love the show. :00hour

I'm a huge fan.

The most memorable shows for me are:
1. Squeezing "drinking water" from elephant dung
2. Scavenging off the dead zebra
3. Biting into the living fish

Great television. He's way better than that "Survivor Man", but I think Survivor Man is probably more realistic.

Big fan of the show also. On an episode yesterday he drank his own piss.:mj12: :drinky:

Love the show.

There is also another show along these lines called SurvivorMan. The only difference is that in survivor man he doesn't have a camera crew. Completely alone. He sets on a tripod, walks away, and then has to walk back to pick up the camera equipment.

I've seen that one too, and it's also enjoyable. Man vs. Wild is a little faster paced, so I like it a little better.

REALLY? :shrug: :scared

Whats his deal?

 

[Mjolnir]

british army special forces, has a long resume. some of the stuff he does on the show is pretty impressive.

Whats his deal?

do you mean he's not to physically impressive? Looks to be a bout 5'8" at the most. Tough bugger though to say the least. Maybe he could combine his show with a fear factor type element, you know, say 6 people jump with him into the area and have to keep up and eat all that chit he does.
