Skoze Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 (edited) In the words of Ed Byrne,"He's not even a real bear"Says it all really.Ray is the original, strange thing eating, raft building, spear fishing, pretty chubby dude.

Concussion Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 He isn't a survival expert but I like Bruce Parry, seems like a nice guy, got a lot of respect for him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BONGO Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 it's basically the same as asking, Jackass or Sanchez...The first is the best, the second is more extreme. Just as good and even better in many ways, but you have the first love of the original always burning deep in our hearts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudirudirudirudirudi Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 bear grills doesnt actually do this stuff. he fakes it. he doesnt actually stay over night etc. ray mears could actually survive longer in the wilderness which is what its all about really..... bear grills just overdramatises things.

We all know what he DOES do ON screen...He does drink dead camel piss straight from the bladder, squeeze water from the turd, eat anything that moves and can survive just as well as Mears. Ex special forces teaches you how to survive, not how to enjoy it. He eats a scorpion to survive. Mears will cook it, pick some nice berries and cook it all up to a nice scorp-riotta served on a carefully carved oak plate on a bamboo table that he made while he was waiting.

BONGO Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Ray mears is a fat b*****d. He could survive with no food for months anyway.Plus he goes out and catches monkeys and birds with natives bow and arrow's! They are both as knowledgable as each other. from what people can see. Mears is more of a guide with cultural interests. As a purely survival point of view, they both hold their own and could no doubt survive as successfully as each other.

fredrico Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Only way to settle this is a Grylls Vs Mears face off.Both get a knive and dropped into the middle of a jungle. First one out wins............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prawny Baby's Baby Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 It really depends what you want;If you want a genuine guy sitting there telling you tips on survival, going through some cool survival stories, one who knows those situations are dangerous so will not put himself in them, one that says look here is my camera crew and these are our tents. Then Ray is by far supeior.If you want an arse who just tries to show off but instead makes himself look like a complete tit. Then you are going to want "bear".

BONGO Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 He was an officer in the TA and ended up serving with the SAS for 3 years in the 90's.I can't decide, i think from loyalty it'd be Mears as he's been there for years and years, but Grylls is a good watch. I personally don't care if he stays in a bed when he's off camera. I'm watching the programme to see what happens in the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Token Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 If there were a series of Bear cutting animals open, living in them an eating their shit. I'd watch that anytime over Ray whittling a canoe out of a twig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Token Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 I want to see some youtube footage of this 'Chris Crap Stabber Ryan' being a double hard b*****d. Until then, your all lie-ing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavyn. Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 (edited) QFT, and I can guarantee 'Bear' wasn't in the SAS.he was, not the 22's though. think he was in with the reserves. he still went through the training and entry course so he is one tough motherf**ker. chris ryan is the one who over exaggerated what he'd been through and got caught out.my main reason for not watching ray is the saggy as f**k tits your forced to watch while he talks to some woman in africa about how she thinks rubbing a leaf on her face will cure malariaeddie stone is my favourite Edited April 28, 2008 by G4vyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
br3n Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 bear wins hands down, its just a shame a lot of its faked/refilmed but then again.. wouldnt be very good TV otherwise :/Mears is good, but that series with that incredibly boring guy in england was awful, you cant spend all day fouraging for nuts and berries then cooking it in a sauspan with tesco flour... Thats just pointless!!!! If there were a series of Bear cutting animals open, living in them an eating their shit. I'd watch that anytime over Ray whittling a canoe out of a twig.Amazing, Genuine laughter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
