love this show! and to anybody that prefers survivorman and can't stop knocking bear: hey, i like survivorman too, but bear is hands down the more pure "survivalist" and everybody that says otherwise doesn't know shit about survival... in the make-of from survivorman he even says himself, that he gets trained by a professional on the area in question before doing the shoot and then basically just retelling what he learned from them. now bear knows his shit without having to rely on professionals, also he's a far better climber... to cut a long story short: bear is the real deal, whereas the other dude now almost seems "fake" to me. yes, i have watched all episodes of either as well as the bushcraft-thing with ray... |

i love both shows but i have to disagree with you. bear grylls is not the pure survivalist. les stroud is. les gives a more realistic approach to surviving in the wild. if i were to get lost, i know that i wouldn't be a complete jackass and start climbing down cliffs and jumping into glacial melt water just to get out quicker. as far as your bullshit argument about les getting "trained" by local survival experts, look at the end credits for all of man vs. wild episodes and you'll see survival experts: and a list of names who have "trained" bear on how to survive in the environment presented in that particular episode. research what the hell you're talking before you start typing. check this out: h**p://img217.imageshack.us/img217/1663/vlcsnap5256843zx8.png again i'll leave saying that i love both shows, and respect both men. but les is truly the pure survivalist. |

if you think bear would jump into melt-water if his life were on the line, you must be faaar more demented, than i give you credit for... also i never said he didn't have guides... i said that les is a pussy and in no way a "true surivialist"... all he does is bitch about how cold and dangerous it is. and while we're on the subject of research: you know that les makes music for a living? you know that bear grylls climed mount everest and crossed the atlantic in what can be refered to as marginally bigger than a walnut shell? my rating: 1. bear grylls 2. ray mears 3. les strauss ah and @ sarre: my dick is not only huge, it also has seen far more action at 26, than your tiny wiener will do in your lifetime... ;-d don't take everything soooo serious... have a sense of humor for christ's sake... edit: lol, i just realized: you actually went to the trouble to make a screenshot and upload it just to prove that? dude, you need to get out more! waaay more... |

this show seems pretty cool, but the encoding job ain't so great. the image quality is pretty crunchy, and the top and bottom seem to be cropped. was it originally aired in 4:3 then cropped to 16:10 for this release? it'd be nice to see an un-cropped version. |

people like mcbrite and sarre are why i often hate the internet. i posted a rebuttal to your badly thought out argument and all you two have to say is that i have a small dick and need a life. wow. just wow. it took me about a minute to take that screen cap and post it online. what's wrong with wasting a minute of my oh so busy life. did you lash out at me because i disproved your shitty little post? tough shit, get over it. mcbrite's first post wrote: now bear knows his shit without having to rely on professionals, also he's a far better climber... mcbrite's second post wrote: also i never said he didn't have guides... kind of contradicting ourselves there aren't we. and yes i know that les stroud is also a musician, and that music is a hell of a lot better than most of the crappy synth rock that is on man vs. wild. i'll leave it with this, man vs. wild is more about having an adventure/thrill seeking. survivorman shows you how to reasonably and safely survive once your adventure weekend goes wrong. if man vs. wild was about surviving, he wouldn't be doing some of the crazy shit that he does. i love and respect both shows and their presenters. but les has more of my respect than bear does. i'm done with this, have a good time reading my rant. johnny rad: the show was filmed in widescreen but presented in letterboxed 16:9 for the television broadcast. that leaves you with black bars on the top and bottoms of the screen. it's usually best to crop those black bars seeing as how they can degrade the picture quality. so don't worry you're not missing out on any footage. i haven't seen this release yet, i used to get my caps from goat over at txrd, but seeing as how they received a cease and desist order i'll have to check this one out. |
