For all you who are as mad as me Bear's new series starts next Monday night on Discovery 21:00.

LennyJ1 · « **Reply #1 on:** June 08, 2011 »

It started on monday past with him in the canadian rockies. It was a good show but with the bear you never know if its set up or real after the hotel scandal.

But still you have to give it to him he is good. But is he better than Ray?

Is this going to turn into one of those threads where it's:

or even:

Each to their own I guess, I enjoy watching both of them and have books by them as well but personally I prefer Ray (not just cause I met the guy, I'm sure Bear's a decent spud too) as he's got a different approach and doesn't sensationalise what he's doing. He's also been doing it a lot longer so has more authority in my book.

Having said that I would probably watch Bear's new series but don't have Sky unfortunately

Do you have sky+? If you do just search Bear and it is pepeated loads on Discovery.

OMG just seen them pictures Paul, lol. But I do prefer the way of the bear.

They are completly different in there approch and that makes it a great difference.

Ray for me every time, bear grylls is more "hollywood" in his approach, and makes for entertaining tv, but not sure how good he would be if he couldnt "find" an old boat, rope, petrol cans etc "lying around" in the forest

Not sure, I think that Bear would have more chance of getting you rescued. Where as Ray would probably be able to keep you sustained in a forest.

Repeat is on Saturday, set for record already

I agree Ray is the man.. Bear is a liability..

Yeah that is because Bear has a huge support team around him and you would be bound to get rescued..

ha ha, it's like comparing F1 and WRC. I like them both, but I think Ray's recent shows have been a bit samey.

Since the hotel 'scandal' Bear's been very careful to make it clear when he has support and when they help him out to save time.
You honestly think Ray doesn't have an equally competent support team?

Ray does have a support crew and they have been shown on camera many times, he makes no secret of it. However he definitely has the knowledge whereas Bear takes advice in the locations he's in.

why is Bear Grylls aways covered in muck. Even when he was in the snow he still managed to get covered in muck. Is spray on muck part of his survival kit?

I take it none of you have seen the video of the outtakes/near death experiences.

Think thats it. I havent seen all of it but from what I did see he has a lot of gut doing some of it.

Seen a video where they took a short cut through a train tunnel, about halfway down they heard the train coming at them. They had to run for their lives. The camera man fell mid way and bear ran back and picked him up and they had only just sprinted about 300 metres when they jumped out of the tunnels mouth and the freigh train whizzed passed and missed him by about a foot. '
Sorry haters, you just can t stage that.
