any time ive seen him kill a snake,he takes one bite and chucks it away,or drinks its blood and chucks it away.....

even if he was,i bet if he went for a drink in Hereford where the off duty SAS drink,i bet he'd get his as* kicked

Maybe they'd catch him in waist deep water, slam his head against a tree then stab him in the neck. Just like that poor monitor.

We are the apex....unless you go for a swim off the coast of South Africa.

Then we are just white shark bait.

That's a massive mouth full of razors driven by 15+ foot of muscle. This picture creeps me out a little.

The intelligence to use weapons makes us apex.

Even Neanderthal used tools to bring down large animals.

Unlike Grylls, Neanderthal man had to take down animals, they had no choppers and buffet tables "off set" and they didn't waste anything.

We are evolving backward.

I haven't seen a lot of his shows so I can't/won't judge him on those but his autobiography was a good read and he has achieved a lot in his life.

Shaun, yes he is ex SAS he was in the SAS reserves before he had his accident.

I remember reading somewhere he was SAS for 6 minute.
(Not very long at all...just a few years if I remember)

I did a quick google search, but I dont care enough about him to spend the time.

Here is a link to an SAS hero trashing bear:

1/2 the advice in his show would get you killed if you were stranded. Run around like a nut case, trust a single vine with your life, go sliding down cliffs. I don't think anyone buys it really anyway.

The fact he kills animals then goes back to a camp or hotel to eat makes him a douche.

SurvivorMan was a great show; Les actually went out on his own and legitimately depended on what he did for survival. There was once he was given a gun and some fat, but that was the most he ever got for assistance. He never even had a camera crew; he did all the camera work himself. THAT is an educational show.

But Bear Grylls' show is purely for entertainment, and many of the things he does are sickening and totally unnecessary. He once carved out a camel to show how to turn it into shelter in an emergency situation, then informed the audience that he was headed to a hotel. Why did that camel have to be killed and mutilated, then? He could have just talked about it! He does quite a lot of idiotic things that people shouldn't do in a survival situation as well. For example, he once ate a bug and said "I'm not sure if this is poisonous, but if it isn't it will give me the protein I need!" and another time he was exploring a chasm in a glacier and said "This space can suddenly flood with icy cold water at any moment and kill me!"....there is little to no educational value to his show. I can't stand it.

By the sounds of things I don't think I shouldn't watch his shows if all it is is sensationalized so called survival.

Chris Ryan's bravo two zero book (I can't remember what it is called) was a really good read and he is certainly one double hard bas**rd. The things all of those guys on that patrol went through is frightening and fascinating. Chris' and Andy McNabbs books about this are both certainly worth a read.

as far as i remember Chris Ryans walk out of the country after the bravo 2 zero mission was comprimised,was a record for the SAS,now thats one hard ba*tard...!!

but imo even Chris Ryan would'nt go for a drink in Hereford,the serving members don't like all the tv programes and books thats been done

The books are good and very realistic apparently. I regularly go for a coffee with an ex SAS man, he is well in his eighties and hard as nails still. He reminds me of my grandpa so we are quite close andnhe shares a lot of his experiences.

And shauny is right, the SAS guys are not happy about the money made out of the books and films, they see themselves as brothers for life and dont think things like taht should be exploited.

i know i can't even watch it, so i won't.

i agree, it is not necessary most likely. if it is for pure survival, i understand b/c it's to live. and you are thankful for the sacrifice. but just for entertainment? sick.
