Bear Grylls - Born Lunatic
Bear Grylls, no not a wildlife barbecue (bet he’s never heard that one before) is a complete lunatic, but makes the kind of TV you can enjoy watching when safely tucked up in your suburban living room.
Check out his website for detailed information, but this is a man who climbed Everest at the age of 23 after breaking his back in 3 places, whilst serving with the SAS, and now gets parachuted into remote areas of the world and has to escape them for shows on Discovery, with only a knife, water bottle and full camera crew 
Being the kind of milksop who gets nervous in the back garden at dusk, I always enjoy watching someone risk life & limb in hideously dangerous parts of the world, and Bear is obviously a double-hard bastard with what he’s done in his life. That said, should I ever get stranded in the wild, I’d rather have Ray Mears in my backpack: Bear was in the jungle last week, and spent the night laying directly on the forest floor getting soaked. Ray Mears would have constructed a 4 poster bed with nightstand and matching wardrobe out of leaves and beetle spit in the same time 
If you want to see what Bear gets up to, check out the clip, interspersed with the comedian Harry Hill making some sage observations. Ladies, Bear gets naked about half way through…
For Bear’s next trick, he’s going to fly over Everest in a paraglider

Sounds a bit like ‘Survivorman’ over here - crazy idiot will get dropped off in Northern Canada (or the middle of the desert) with nothing, and has to survive and walk out where his crew can find him within seven days. This guy is his own camera crew though, so he really IS all on his own!

He left out the part about chiseling out a couple hand grips in the ice before you fall in.

To hell with what all you people think. Your’e all making up rumors just to put someone out of business. Bear Gryll is NOT a fraud and he is NOT a fake. I may be only 13 but I know things, and im not stupid. Stop putting up posts about Bear Grylls up just because your not famous or because you just okan dont like him. To all the poepl that are Bears’s TRUE fans, if they are TRUE fans they won’t just stop watching his T.V show just because some IGNORENT, SELF-ABSORBED, JELOUSE adults make up rumors. To tell everyone the truth…I think YOU adults, need to grow up and do something better with all of your lives. Stop being inconsiderate. Stop tryin to nock people off their pedistols. Grow up and get a life. Cause not all things are true that you hear on the internet! Im a true fan, I will ALWAYS stick up for this man called, Bear Grylls. And I WILL watch his show because it is NOT fake.
Sincerly,
Suraya Venice Walker
P.S.

Blimey, calm down Suraya, I actually like Bear, as does Harry Hill who sang with him on the TV show I’ve put up a clip of above. It’s a Brit thing laughing at ourselves, which is all this clip is about.
You carry on standing up for what you enjoy, it’s a good attitude.
PS Ask your Dad to install the FireFox web browser, it has a built in spell checker.
PPS I have no idea what “If you Surrvivorman u bag on Man V.S Wild if you like Msn V.S Wild ur baggin Surrvivor man…get a grip.” means, sorry. I’m old I know, please type more slowly and I’ll try to get it next time.
(PPPS, the above is known as ‘taking the piss’ and you really won’t get that….)

Im sorry if you didnt understand what i was saying. I said that if you like Survivorman you end up talking about Man V.S Wild. And if you like Man V.s. Wild you start to talk about Surrvivorman. I may not like Survivorman but I don’t talk about him. And thats why I said that you adults need to grow up!

Ah right, I’ve not actually seen Survivorman over here in the UK.
Plenty of time to grow up Suraya, no need to start now!
Check out Ray Mears if you see him on Discovery, he hasn’t got Bear’s abs but I’d trust him to keep me alive in the wild.

Sorry? I thought we’d got this one sorted out?
Here’s a question for you: if nobody cares what I think, why did you come back a month later to leave another comment?
Aah, you do care…..
