Default Re: Discovery Channel : MAN VS WILD or SURVIVORMAN?

Bear Grylls is a complete fake. I was reading a climbing forum a few months ago, after an episode of Man Vs. Wild that was filmed in the Sierras. Several people recognized the area he had filmed the episode in, which was supposedly in the wilderness, but was actually a quarter mile off the highway. Also, while jumping off of cliffs, eating raw fish, drinking elephant dung and swimming down 40 degree rivers is entertaining, in a real survival situation that kind of stuff would probably get you killed. If you were to dump both Bear Grylls and Les Stroud in a real wilderness with no help or support, i would bet on Les Stroud to make it out alive and Bear Grylls to die of hypothermia from swimming down a river, breaking a leg jumping off a cliff, or of dysentery from drinking water squeezed out of elephant poop.
