I personally like the volcano episode. It went along well with Discovery's I shouldn't be Alive episode.

he tells you it's safe to eat things that aren't safe to eat. things that cause vomiting and diarrhea are not the types of things that are going to help you survive in the wild.

that one where he was talking about milk of magnesia for stomach cramps. it's a laxative. you don't want to drink laxatives when you're stuck in the jungle cuz you will just get more dehydrated.

and he's always jumping down hills and shit. why is he telling people to do that?

Watch. Learn. Survive.

I've actually learned several potentially life-saving tricks and techniques from both shows. They're both bad-asses.

I hope these shows don't actually convince people to go out into the wild and try any of these things.

Glad I was raised able to camp/hunt for myself.

For someone to actually believe anything on TV is actually real, thats just being naive.

well personally I tend too thnk these shows are for people to watch, and then if your unfortunate to be put into a survivle situation of any kind or flavor you'll think back to something like this show. Its not like "hey guys lets go get lost in the costa riiiican jungle" :P

Okay, I'll tell you my secret.

My best buddies roommate is actually a professional Survivalist.

He actually teaches survival classes in California, then takes them on week long adventures through the Sierra's.

His side business is making bows, staffs and spears from wood, flint and animal remains to keep everything together, just like the native Americans.

The funny part about this whole thing?

He taught the Survivor Man (Les Stroud) everything he knows. He (Tom) watches the show and gets his kicks because Les regurgitates all his lectures.

I've heard some stories of this Les Stroud guy, from other of these survival guys (they tend to hang out) and think that Bear is way more extreme, original, and just better for TV. Les is a little bitch.

:grin:

The show was co-produced and presented by Grylls.
* 2006 - The show Man vs. Wild premiered, the host of which was Grylls, yet most of the scenes are staged and contain advice deemed dangerous by most survival experts



What has that Les Stroud douchebag done with his life?

Same thing happened to me when I played Neil Armstrong in Moonshot. They found me in an alley in Burbank trying to re-enter the earth's atmosphere in an old refrigerator box.

I like both shows but

i feel in SM we may miss a lot of stuff just because he has to film it all himself

and MvsW the guy is like it will take 30-60mins to walk around this so instead I'll climb down this waterfall :wtf: that isn't good advice

I think people just need to see these shows for what they are ...entertainment. Being an avid survivalist myself (I've studied the subject for 10-12yrs along with 5 years of army infantry training) I find that there is good info on both shows. The problem is that they don't really show the whole picture. All their advice is very tv oriented. It's all about entertainment and anyone who thinks they can watch those shows and all of a sudden they're freakin Croc Dundee better make sure they have their affairs in order and a next of kin named.
