'sevivorman' vs 'man vs wild'
    #7138382 -

These show are pretty similar but which one do you think gives you better info.

Personally I think servivorman has the better info. Every time I watch man vs wild I see the guy taking unnecessary risks and explaining it like its a good idea. I just watched the episode where he treks out of the sierra nevada desert. He climbs into a narrow gully finds some polluted water decides to swim through while explaining the dangers of flash flooding. Then he comes upon a small wall of debris and rather than going over it or dismantling it he decides to swim underneath a large pile of unstable debris. To me, that is retarded. And in the previous episode he stole a row boat, I thought that was funny.

As for servivorman I've watched a few episodes and everything he does seems well informed and in the proper order; water > shelter/supplies > food > movement - repeat. In man vs wild the procedure goes; movement > water > supplies > helicopter ride out. To me that seems somewhat unrealistic.

I agree, a lot of people though don't like how realistic survivorman is though, the call it 'boring', and 'oh he bitches too much'.  Yeah he's alone w/ cameras, and no crew members.  He's allowed to bitch.  He does what he has to do to survive where he's been left because he's his only way out.

*edit*
Hey man, he's an idiot, give him a chance. :smile:

Yeah, though I could see survivorman trying to cook that damn zebra meat, no matter how hot it is, because he realizes how shitty it would be to get some nasty parasite out in that wilderness. Plus, making yourself puke == dehydration.

So I skipped a letter in the title big fucking deal, how many words did I misspell in the post? Do I have to change my screen name to get some fucking respect around here, god damn.

I don't see how being realistic is boring, some people are fucking idiots. and I give that guy alot of respect cause he ends up having to make the one trip he is on 10 different times just to get the shots that keep us entertained. If I were him I'd make discovery strap a camera to my head and thats all thayd get.

Man vs. Wild is like Survivor, I mean, the guy has a full on camera crew following him everywhere and viewers are supposed to believe that he gets no help? Also, if Bear were really trying to survive, he wouldn't put himself into rediculous and dangerous situations just to "show you how to survive". I mean, he's always flinging himself down crevasses and into quicksand. It just seems too commercial, too trivial and unauthentic.

Survivor man is fucking raw, and focuses on true survival. Much more authentic, albeit slightly less entertaining.

Man vs. Wild is tailored for mass appeal and is pretty entertaining.
Survivorman is just hardcore.

But then, once in a lifetime

The longed-for tidal wave

Of justice can rise up

And hope and history rhyme.

Survivorman is more realistic and gives better information. Man vs. Wild is more exciting.

Man vs Wild is more to show you general ideas of what not to do, and if yuo do get stuck in that situation, say, quicksand, hwo to get out.

He can do that because he has the crew just in case, etc.

Survivorman doesnt do that shit because his ass would be dead if he fucks up. He actualy is truly surviving vs just showing you what to or not to do. Both have GPS locators however so the risk of them not going home is really nil.

Also, Bear looks like he's in much better shape and does more strenuous things than Les does.

I don't follow these shows that much really, I was just watching man vs wild and got a little pissed about how stupid he was being. I mean if one of the sticks that he was aimlessly shaking around was weight baring and broke as he was swimming under the debris he would have drowned before the camera crew dug him out.

I think that the camera-guy probably goes through as much shit if not more shit than Bear does through the course of his little adventures.

Dr :ronpaul: says to stop trying to treat the side-effects of big government and focus on the core issues. End the Federal Reserve/audit the gold reserves at Fort Knox, abolish the IRS, end all wars and occupancies, stop the building of an empire that will inevitably fail, and cut all unconstitutional federal programs. Put the power back in the peoples' hands by ending this nanny-state.

Now that I know his name is bear I'm liking him even less.

and now that I know the servivormans name is Les (like less claypool) I'm liking him more.

it's probably been said.. but, i didn't bother to read the replies..

man vs wild is shot w/ a crew.. the guy has a safety net to do that shit he does.. and, it's re-shot to get the best shot.. you can see sometimes when he's just come out of water and his hair is all dry.  Still a good show, but more staged than survivorman.

survivorman is just left somewhere with the gear he can carry.. he can't use any of the equipment to aid himself and he only has a radio for emergency.  Plus, he stays out way longer than bear gryls in man vs wild. 

survivorman>man vs wild

imo

:smile:
