I'm surprised no one has mentioned Ray Mears -- he's the original U.K. prototype that Bear has copied.

http://www.raymears.com/

Ray comes across as a straight up guy with a genuine love and respect for the wilderness. He illustrates, educates, informs and learns from where he goes and those that live there. His show isn't an "adrenaline filled adventure" in the way these survival shows tend to present themselves -- and that's a good thing if you're actually interested in learning some things. Not to say the show is boring, but Ray doesn't sensationalize his adventures unnecessarily.

Definitely.

Ray Mears episodes are like therapy man, he is super relaxed! I reckon he's a toker and all...

i fukin love that quote tho and it rings sooo true.

i feel sorry for the kids of today who dont learn the "hard way"

dont rely on GPS and beacons, and cell phones, etc....but learn the wilderness the hard way like i was taughtike i was taught.

but since u have the tech. ...then use it if u can (tho i dont)

Hehe, that's very true. He's very mellow but not boring. He presents his shows in the same way as he thinks people should behave in the outdoors -- calmly, carefully and with respect. No blasting sound track and shots of Ray leaping over things -- just good information presented in an engaging manner.

Not sure he tokes, but I would like to think so. ;)

i wish richard proenneke lived long enough to have his own show, thankfully he left us a bunch of videos though.

bro that is so awesome and brings a tear to my eyes.

he's a fukin hero of mine if i ever had one.

there arent peeps in this world that can live in solitude and make a PEACEFUL home from the wilderness and LIVE WITH the wilderness!

it's soooooooo fukin' simple that its so hard

rp's book and video are in my collection for life, and i'll always aspire to be like him.....and keep in mind he was in his 40's before he built his cabin on lake clark....ive seen it in person.
 
If the adverage joe tried doing the things bear grylls does in a true survival situation 90% of the time the adverage joe would probably kill himself trying it.

Les stroud is physically the adverage joe alone in a REAL survival situation trying to survive and video tape his adventure.

Les stroud < bear grylls

Why are you hating on bear? He is just trying to show people how to survive if they are put in certain situations. Seriously, both shows have their up and downs.. IMO survivorman is much more entertaining, it's one guy on his own! that's pretty crazy, but seriously, they only show you what THEY want you to see. And what they do is very dangerous, i'm pretty sure man vs wild has had crew members killed during filming.

Bear is the man.....FUCKING BADASS EXTRAORDINAIRE! :respect: I've never seen him kill anything he didn't eat. If he wants to spend the night in a hotel so be it; as if everyone doesn't know he can do it all..... SIBERIA!?! :yoinks:

NOKUY.. i'm not crazy..
why do you call it crap? Stop sitting on your ass bitching about other peoples shit, and go make something of yourself, possible a hit tv show w/ millions of viewers??? you need to get off your high horse.

anyways, there was a crew member whose body was never even discovered because he lost his footing in fell into a endless void in a glacier.. i'm sure a quick search of google could find something about it. Whenever i was watching his show it had a quick mention about the fellows death
