Bear or Ray?

[Sigmund Fraud]

Vote MEARS.

Bear Gryllis will be barricaded into a luxury production trailer rummaging down the back of the sofa for minibar pistachios.

This did actually make me laugh out loud @ my desk

I've recently watched a few Bear Grylls programmes and he gets an unfair rap. So what if he was born into a posh family? The man is run to watch do crazy survival shit. Ray Mears is cute but dull.

 

[ChrisFilter]

Fun to watch. Not run.

Mears has a secret army of woodland creatures as henchmen that hide in the bushes waiting to strike at all times.

True story.

Bearis ex TA Sas so a complete loon would probably do the stuff he does even if not filmed

Furry scum kill them with fire

Fuck the Alpha course loving Etonian and the horse he slept in.

 

[ChrisFilter]

Granted, he's christian and an old etonian, but he never mentions either in his programmes so who gives a fuck? Nice, enthusiastic bloke who makes fun tv. No harm done.

The same SAS who got taken prisoner by some unarmed Libyan farmers not so very long ago? My boots remain resolutely un-quaked in.

No the part timers may or may not be military useful.
But completely insane

Ray, got to be. Although I might survive longer with Bear, I think it would be more fun with Ray. As others have said, if you can survive and still be a bit large you must know what you are doing. And Ray just seems less gung-ho. He seems a nicer person.

 

[Cid]

I think Bear would be quite good provided a) you're running away from something b) you have somewhere to run away to c) you're prepared to accept that, to Bear, you're the 'bloke he runs faster than'. For general, long-term survival Ray is going to be much better.

Actually, the SAS thing reminds me - we need more Lofty Wiseman.

Provided you don't mind tripping your bollocks off every so often when he finds some 'interesting' mushrooms.

 

[Pingu]

wow
post 47 and up to now no bush tucker man mention?

are you thinking about the crapping into clingfilm and passing it round to keep warm thread eleswhere?

Anyone watching Ray on ITV 3 now? Digging his jerkin.

 

[stuff_it]

Ray pisses over Bear (or he would do except I reckon he's too well-mannered to do that)

Bear couldn't piss all over Ray as he's drunk it all.

 

[Supine]

FFS, one of them has changed their name to Bear. What a twat.

Plus, if you need tips about finding food in a desert ask the chubby guy. He knows his stuff.

 

[felixthecat]

Ray, without a doubt.

Ray wouldn't make me eat raw worms - he'd cook them up with exotic woodland herbs and spices and we'd eat gourmet worms. And he's cute and cuddly. I'd probably end up killing Bear in his sleep for being just plain annoying.

 

[trabuquera]

for the nth time, I vote Mears. He is he truly the sort of chap you'd want to go into the jungle with. quiet, unshowy, store of knowledge as inexhaustible as a skilled squirrel's nut stash.

Grylls on the other hand is a macho poseur who I'd be sorely tempted to use for food & kindling.
