ray mears for maximum comfort and a tranquil viewing experience
bear grylls if youre up for some quick entertainment, but i still like him

ray mears shows you how to live off the land, amongst many other things, and doesnt have to eat live animals to do so

les stroud is basically a redditor dad who goes camping with his son in northern canada. bear grylls is a super army soldier who jumps from planes, charms beautiful actresses and comforts celebrities after he's led them to breakthroughs. he's the ross kemp of the jungle and the fact that you would compare a canadian dadbod to him is fucking enraging

This. He may not be as experienced as Bear in some things but at least he never stayed in a fucking hotel and had a camera crew five feet away from him.

Survivorman was such a comfy show.

>>86639325
>bear grylls is a mediocre army soldier who has a TV crew do every and anything for him who cant jump from planes because the cord is too hard to pull, gets pussy because money and does basic people work
if you put Bear grylls out on an island with nothing but himself he'd die in a day. Les Stroud would actually stand a chance, and would most likely get back to tell the tale

Say what you will about Bear Grylls, and I never cared for the guy at all until this happened, but I respect him after:

> family friend of mine is 18 year old lad
> he is going camping with 2 friends
> they both bailed at last minute. he decided to go camping just by himself anyway as a "challenge"
> he is found dead in his tent
> cause of death unknown. nobody thought he was suicidal
> its as if his heart just stopped
> a few weeks after it happened his parents received this extremely thoughtful handwritten letter from Bear Grylls, who read about the young man, and wanted to offer his condolences

6 months on and the inquest into his death is still moving slowly forward.

I will always tell this story when someone talks shit about him as I feel it says a lot of good things about the guy

The crew never left. They're professionals and they're protecting very important celebrities.

>>86640068
he (or someone else) should do it in different climate zones

>>86640099
I'd never be that calm right next to a gorilla

I feel like you'd survive longer on a desert island with Ray but longer in an extreme environment with Bear.

>>86637144
this guy is GOAT

>>86639729
he was bearly alive

>>86635859
Grylls is more entertaining. If you're ever in a situation where you're relying on a TV show you watched in order to survive, you're already dead.

>>86640209
>I feel like you'd survive longer on a desert island with Ray

Only because you could eat him and there'd be more meat than on Bear.

Bear Grills or whatever has never actually gone into the wild by himself so who know's how long he'd survive. But I imagine his super jungle stuntman routine is the exact opposite behavior you want for a survival situation

Yeah, because that's a really dumb thing to do and has no training benefit.

This faggot >>86639729 went into the wild by himself.

>>86640651
Didn't that faggot spend 10 or 12 summers in the wild before getting mauled? It's not that hard

>>86640757
Yeah, then he brought his gf out to get eaten with him on the last one.

Ray Mears could survive, living off the land. Bear is a fake SAS man.

Bear Grylls has unironically killed people, though. I watched his interview on Piers Morgan's Life Stories.

>>86635859
Ray Mears shows have history and context and feel more like documentaries, whereas Grylls feels more like scripted reality show stuff.

>>86641300
It kind of is, but nothing he teaches you isn't valuable and correct.

>>86641203
How would one kill people ironically?

>>86641543
sorry

>>86641203
he didn't kill them. HM Special Services did.

Bear Grylls is for Americans.
Ray Mears is for everyone else.

>>86635859
neither of those guys is Les Stroud...so, false debate.

>>86641066
>Bear is a fake SAS man.
Not really a fake since he was in the SAS reserves, he passed selection but did not complete his training before he was injured and forced to quit.

He has a school in Sweden or some shit where he teaches this stuff.
I hear even military folks go there.

>>86639997

Why would he do that? Did he hear about it on the news or something? Was your friend a fan of his?

>>86640068
Primitive is pure kino

>>86635859
Bear Grylls is a cunt, the type of kid in school that did "dares" to try to fit in but everyone just laughed at him being a retard and eating worms n shit for no reason and injuring himself -balancing on building ledges & breaking bones. Ray Mears, I've watched most of his stuff, while he is an annoying posh autistic pleb, he's still watchable.

>>86643066
The irony is that their roles in real life are pretty much reversed, Bear Grylls is a rich fag whose dad was a politician. Ray Mears was not exactly poor but he lived in a semi detached house and his dad was a printer.

>>86643260
True, I should of mentioned Bear Grylls is posh too, good point.

Ray Mears is a bushcraft specialist.
Bear Grylls is a survivalist.
Bear Grylls was in the army, Mears was just facinated by bushcraft, but trains the army.
They are both post as fuck.

Mears had a great comfy tv show, then Grylls had one becasue of Mears popularity.

Mears>Grylls

>>86639729
post the audio

>>86643861
I think this is the best evaluation of them.

Grylls would get you off the desert island on a raft. Then probably try to kill you when he was starving.
Mears would develop the desert island until you didn't want to leave. Then you'd discover he had a working satellite phone the whole time and this is just his idea of a holiday.

redditors get mad that Grylls used his TV show to demonstrate his survival skills in an entertaining and informative way instead of some dumb gimmick tv format like Stroud. Bear has served in the armed forces, has a black belt in martial arts and has actually survived all around the world. Stroud should pay for the honour of sucking Bear's nuts.

>>86641022
The bears knew about women

>>86637144
Les is great but he basically just goes out and starves for 7 days in almost all of his episodes
Bear is much more entertaining
