Most of his stuff is, Bear Grylls has stayed in hotels a lot of the time and most of his shows are stage managed.

You learn a lot of interesting things, though.

Quit being a dick and let's enjoy the video.

He has to do it, he needs the footage. And that makes him even more badass because he uses more energy and carries 25 kilos of camera stuff, resulting in greater hunger.
Comeon it's a TV show.
Sure it's completely overdone but it's entertaiment.
No way in hell could you get me to climb that.

That article also shows that Mears is an asshole.
Wouldn't it be easier and less deadly to just go to the end of the bridge and walk onto the track?

i completely agree with what you just said
Mears is an ass. In an interview Bear said Mears has said some nasty things about him, but he'll always love Mears. Still, if it's raw facts you want and no bullshit nonsense, watch Ray. If you want some of the same advice and lessons but displayed in real life situations, set up or not, watch Bear.
I know which i prefer.

This show is for entertainment with some guidelines here and there. He will always go trough the most extreme route, while it's not the best option, it's interesting, entertaining, and it's "just in case you wouldn't have other options".
I don't know about you lot but you can see where it cut just before he jumped.
video cuts at 4:19 definitely.
This dude is fucking nuts
The best one ever was when he went through this forest. Found an old wreck that had like 400 year old rope on it that was just decayed and falling apart when you touched it.
Then at the most prominent place dangling right out infront of all the other rope was a glistening white rop that looked like it had literally just been bought. Guess what he took

Got a link to that one?

Trying to find it now
I know a lot of the stuff he does is staged but it's entertaining. And I can't buy he would so simply get that chain stuck.
In the Scotland episode, he used my skydiving club's cameramen, plane and pilot to jump... and I can assure you, what you see on TV is 99% bullshit. Trust me.
That guy is a mutant. Maybe he's been drinking radioactive piss.

So who jumped out of the plane instead of him?
He jumped out of the plane... but he fluffed his landing, so the next day they went to a different location and he pretty much jumped off a rock so they could re-shoot it.
It's literally a case of "3-2-1-ACTION".
Also, the real badass is his fucking camera man.

I want to be a camera man someday. :allears:
Even if some things are staged or fake, it's one helluva entertaining show.
Why do people think that Man vs. wild is just Bear surviving? It's supposed to show people what to do in extreme situations where they get lost in the wild.
wrong thread
Anybody made the inevitable joke about him drinking his own piss yet?
To be honest I couldn't give a shit if its staged. I'm entertained.
