Anyone ever watch this show on Discovery? I think it's awesome. Probably the most engrossing nature show since the Croc Hunter, IMHO. Dude's name is Bear Grylls (how kick-@ss a name is that?) and he parachutes into remote regions of the globe and shows people how to survive. He's the definition of hard core. I think I'm addicted.
i love this show! i have my tv record all of them and i watch em. his show is way better than the other guy that does the same thing... uh... forgot the name of the other one.
This show is so insane dude. I saw the one where he made a raft and went out in the Pacific Ocean and was getting surrounded by like 12 foot tiger sharks. He like eats his gloves in the one episode because there is no food. I love the discovery channel.
Bear is like MacGyver and Steve Irwin mixed into a smooth sexy british body. If I was a girl I'd totally have his love child. I mean who else can make a raft with a sail, made out of leaves to get themselves off an island. He also likes to throw himself randomly into frozen lakes, to show the viewers what it's like.
did yall see the one where he was in the desert and pissed on his shirt and wraped it around his head to try to keep cool? hardcore! and yeah that tiger shark one was crazy too.
and then the one where he is in alaska and gets in a boat and his boat starts sinking when he is like surrounded by iceburgs and he has to swim out.

I don't think I could have summed up the show any better than this. Have some Karma.

I guess I like the fact that Les Stroud (Survivorman) simulates real life episodes of being stranded and working with the little, random things you have at hand to get you by. He also has no camera crew, so every shot you see of him, like climbing down a mountain or a gorge, is made possible by the fact that he lugged the camera equipment down there and set it up for the shot and then hiked back up and filmed himself climbing down again. He's completely alone and I really enjoy that. He talks about what that lonelieness can do to your mind when you are trying to survive. lastly, he's a regular guy and not militarily trained. So, if he can survive, so can I. At least that's what I get from it. I think he's a hell of a lot more likeable than Bear Gryll, but I don't really know them personally.
One of these guys needs to have a guest spot with the boy scout from NC. It appears they just found the kid alive after 3 days. Karma to all the searchers.
Oh man. And here is the debate to end all debates. My friends and I talk about this sh!t all the time(how lame are we? . Survivor Guy plays it safe. Bear goes crazy. Yes he has a camera crew. But he drinks elephant dung and jumps into frozen lakes. He can kill a rabbit by throwing a blunt stick at it. His raft kicks survivorman's raft's @ss. Did you see that episode when survivorman made a raft out of 3 logs and it wouldn't even float? Bear makes one with a sail, and it holds up when getting bumped by sharks. Plus he'll eat anything raw. Pluck a fish out of the river, break it's spine, and enjoy. Or how bout some raw zebra meat? Sure why not.
Survivorman might be more practical. But, IMHO, there's no comparison to the watchability.

i agree to an extent i just feel bears show is more tv friendly, just more entertaining you know
I think that we should hijack both of them, take them to a deserted island and make them participate in games to win a chance not to get voted off......oh wait that is Survivor....what was I talkin about......

im all about man vs wild too. until survivor man drinks dung juice and pisses on his own head anyways. they should drop them both on haifa street in baghdad and see who comes out alive. then i say that one wins!
although i agree there is something to be said for the alone factor. that makes a big difference. atleast it hink it would.

I love Man vs Wild. In one episode, he threw a stick at a rabbit, from a pretty good distance, and actually nailed the poor thing in the head. And then he roasted it on a stick. Awesome!
<EDIT> just reread the thread and noticed this was already mentioned... Oh well, it was still freaking sweet.

man vs. wild is defintley my favorite show on Discovery. How about when he jumped into a 200 ft. crevase to show people that his little rope with knots worked....crazyness....also about the camera crew thing. i was wondering, they say that bear has a camera crew, but are they just in the air? When they show shots from the chopper, bear is the only person there....but then how do they get such great shots in the woods and shit? i think im just a little confused....
i think i like people with british accents. when i meet them i automatically think they are good people. dont know why. and the accent seems to give the women a full extra point on the sexy meter. so again id personally have to give the edge to man vs wild.

bear does have a camera crew that is always with him.. in some episodes you can see him tell them what to do in dangerous situations
i do give survivor man some karma cause he always has to walk twice the distance... first to set up his camera then go back and start walking again so it can be filmed.
but again... bear=awsomeness haha. i like when he was on a frozen lake and found a spot with thin ice so he could jump in to show you what its like. the guy is just insane haha in a good way.
