Discovery Channel : MAN VS WILD or SURVIVORMAN?
 

I gotta go with Man v Wild.... the dude drank the juice from an elephant dung when he couldnt't find water

Re: Discovery Channel : MAN VS WILD or SURVIVORMAN?
 

Man v Wild for sure. The one where he eats the fish raw was awesome.

Where does 'I Shouldn't Be Alive' play into this

Re: Discovery Channel : MAN VS WILD or SURVIVORMAN?
 

I Shouldn't Be Alive' blows hard and Survivorman> MvsW

Re: Discovery Channel : MAN VS WILD or SURVIVORMAN?
 

no dude survivorman is so much better, man v wild he has a whole camera crew there to save him, survivor man he films everything by himself, plus the survivorman guy is a lot funnier than the man v wild doushebag

how did u not attach a poll to this [censored]?

Re: Discovery Channel : MAN VS WILD or SURVIVORMAN?
 

Man VS Wild is more enertaining because he jumps off a lot of [censored] where many times it doesn't even seem necessary and he seems to have a little more personality but Survivorman is clearly the more badass of the two since he films it solo.

So true. Survivor man is literally dropped off and left to fend for himself and he has to film everything to boot. Man v Wild has producers camera men, boom mic operators etc.

Re: Discovery Channel : MAN VS WILD or SURVIVORMAN?
 

Survivorman is real, Man vs. Wild is not. That is pretty much all that needs to be said in this thread.

Re: Discovery Channel : MAN VS WILD or SURVIVORMAN?
 

Regardless of how the show is taped, it's painfully obvious who's more of a badass:

Re: Discovery Channel : MAN VS WILD or SURVIVORMAN?
 

Just because he eats raw meat doesn't make him the bigger badass. He isn't out there by himself actually risking anything (other than food poisoning) as his crew will just call for help at the first sign of danger.

Re: Discovery Channel : MAN VS WILD or SURVIVORMAN?
 

LOLOLOLOLOLOL

This is not even close!

I was watching it yesterday and here's what I saw.

Survivorman CUT HIS OWN FINGER when he was trying to get water he didn't need. Just to demonstrate.

Bear Grylls drank water from elephant [censored], bit the head off a snake, killed a rabbit with a home made boomerang on the first throw and found fresh water in an underground LAVA TUBE!

Man vrs Wild guy tried to start a fire using stuff from a smashed up camera? And failed.

Bear Grylls has made fire 4 different ways and he never fails.

Survivor Man eats a mushroom saying he "hopes its a blahblahblah." Bear Grylls eats dead carcasses and live snakes.

Bear Grylls is one of the most badass people alive and travels for 3 dyas straight across some of the most difficult terran in the world (Like on the volcano, he went a mile of rocks so jagged, they were like knived).

The survivor man camps out for on a lake and then walks 3 miles thata-way to a highway.

um... have you seen what he eats? No way you motivate yourself to drain water from [censored] if you were just munching on a snickers.

SM is out in the wilderness for 3+ days also, only difference is HE IS ALONE WITH NO ONE TO HELP HIM IF HE GETS IN TROUBLE. DUC the difference between carrying 3 or so cameras and setting them up yourself and filming it all by your lonesome and having a full on crew there 'that can't intervene unless I'm about to die' type crap? I would hope you do, but from your post you seem to not understand how huge a difference this is.

Re: Discovery Channel : MAN VS WILD or SURVIVORMAN?
 

Man vs. Wild just shows people how to get hurt doing INSANE [censored] that only Bear could do. Man vs. Wild is also pretty staged. Although Bear is much more likable.. Survivorman is the better show.

Re: Discovery Channel : MAN VS WILD or SURVIVORMAN?
 

survivorman sucks, way too boring

read the wiki on man vs wild dude, he is a [censored] badass and would waste no time eating survivorman if they were stuck in the wilderness together

Please read the wiki articles

MVW was in the SAS, one of the most elite Special Forces units in the world. He broke his back and climbed Mt. Everest two years later. He crossed the North Atlantic Ocean in an inflatable boat. The dude is crazy and holds multiple world records for his accomplishments.


SM was a musican that became an outdoor/survival enthusiast. He went and lived in the Canadian wilderness for a year.

Re: Discovery Channel : MAN VS WILD or SURVIVORMAN?
 

So, the SAS instructs people on how to go out into the wilderness like a pussy with a back up rescue team and not alone, filming it yourself. Interesting.

Re: Discovery Channel : MAN VS WILD or SURVIVORMAN?
 

From the wiki....

"In 2007 Grylls claimed a new world record by flying a petrol powered paraglider over the Himalayas higher than Mount Everest. He had to cope with temperatures of -60C and dangerously low death zone oxygen levels to reach a claimed 29,500 feet, almost 10,000 feet higher than the previous record of 6,102m (20,019ft)"

Re: Discovery Channel : MAN VS WILD or SURVIVORMAN?
 

man vs wild is the greatest show in the history of shows, ever.


Mancrush ftw

Re: Discovery Channel : MAN VS WILD or SURVIVORMAN?
 

This proves that Man vs. Wild is the winner hands down

Re: Discovery Channel : MAN VS WILD or SURVIVORMAN?
 

I was just in this conversation the other day. Survivorman for the win!

Re: Discovery Channel : MAN VS WILD or SURVIVORMAN?
 

I just asked a friend this question yesterday...he said Man vs Wild...

the guy in Man vs Wild does much crazier stuff, but he also has a camera crew with him...and I'm quite sure they do plenty of safety stuff when he is climbing up watterfalls and [censored] like that...it's still balla, but Survivorman goes out there with no one..and if that wasn't bad enough, he has to carry around all his [censored] along with the camera equipment

Survivorman FTW

Re: Discovery Channel : MAN VS WILD or SURVIVORMAN?
 

Survivorman is only entertaining because Les basically fails to do anything productive and ends the show no better off than where he started and everyone laughs at his incompetence.


Man vs. Wild may not be as "authentic", but at least Bear COULD actually survive for >3 days if he actually had to.

Oh yeah, and he drinks elephant dung, so [censored] off anyone who says Les is more badass.

Re: Discovery Channel : MAN VS WILD or SURVIVORMAN?
 

MANHUNTER LDO~~

Re: Discovery Channel : MAN VS WILD or SURVIVORMAN?
 

if you guys think survivorman doesnt have people ready to come in and save his ass if his camping trip goes bad you're [censored] dumb sry.

[/ QUOTE ]

Why would you expect someone alone in the wilderness for 7 days to come out better off than when he started?

Also, Les' show is 7 days long so he already does survive for longer than 3 days.

He has a radio which is usually not working. There is no one within ~ 1 mile from where he is. Anyone who compares the authenticity of Survivorman to Man vs. Wild is [censored] dumb.

One thing that hasn't been mentioned in this thread is that Man vs. Wild offers TERRIBLE and in many times dangerous survival techniques. These two shows should not even be compared; they are nothing alike.

Re: Discovery Channel : MAN VS WILD or SURVIVORMAN?
 

man vs wild is the better show, and it's not close

survivorman is the yawn

deadliest catch = better tho

[/ QUOTE ]yea, and his help has no way of traversing a mile to get to him, that's pretty stupid logic sorry, both are entertainment and in either case if they got in trouble they would be able to get out so in that way neither are "authentic".

as for which is the better show i prefer man vs wild. he doesn't simply stay in one place, he actively attempts to escape the dangerous situation and get back to civilization. he also is more badass and it's not close, he was in SAS for christ sake.

Re: Discovery Channel : MAN VS WILD or SURVIVORMAN?
 

I fully expected at least 75% of the posts in this thread to deal with eating poop or maggots. I can't find the words to adequately express my disappointment.

Re: Discovery Channel : MAN VS WILD or SURVIVORMAN?
 

Why are people so dumb. Man vs Wild is entertaining but little more than that. The guy tried to get a wild horse to ride out in one of the shows. I mean wtf, anyone who thought this would be a good idea in a survival situation is an idiot. Hes putting on a show.

Re: Discovery Channel : MAN VS WILD or SURVIVORMAN?
 

i saw man vs wild dude show how to survive if you fall into a frozen lake by breaking the ice cover and sitting in a frozen pond for like 30 seconds. then he takes off his clothes and rubs snow all over himself for warmth? wtf...kiss my ass regardless of if he has crew there he is way more bad ass, i assure you those camera men arent carrying blankets and ribeyes for him.
