Tell that to his face if you mean it. Or you could hide on a relatively obscure forum instead.

His stories about the SAS etc have been allegedly discredited by ex special forces types who asked around.

Plus he had to admit that Ray Mears was a more bone fide outdoorsman/survivalist, when he wasn't staying in Motels whilst meant to be in the wilds of somewhere.

In short yes I think he is a twat too.

I don't think I've ever seen him but I like the bear grylls gerber multi tool I got bough as a present.

Sorry, but all of these survivalist types are fucking insane.  It's the 21st century.... nobody needs to ever be in a situation where they have to drink elephant shit juice or eat live larvae out from under a rock.  Get in your car and go to a fucking restaurant you bellend.  I bet even the natives in these places are watching on in hysterics as they dial a pizza from their mobiles.

I bought a pair of Craghoppers that have his name written on them. 

At the time I had no idea who he was.

I love multi tools but last time I looked the Bear Grylls one had a price premium what with having his name on it.

@Emp_Fab

Agreed teaching useful outdoors skills may be OK and be handy come the Zombie Apocalypse but that is just gross.

Bear Grylls doesn't actually have to eat and drink the shitty stuff, telling/explaining would be amply sufficient and less puke making.

I guess the skills he and Ray Mears have are useful in the situations they're useful in. I'd prefer a Remington 12 gauge and a stash of useful stuff come the zombie apocalypse though

I wouldn't group them together - I think Ray Mears is pretty genuine in what he does. I'm convinced Edward ("Bear" FFS!) Grylls is a bull-shitter.

chillidoggy

Ray Mears is streets ahead of the the other twat.

But ahead of all of them in the "let's see what stomach-churning shite we can eat" stakes was the Aussie Bush Tucker man. Plain made me heave, some of the shit that he served up in the bush.

Or not Toby? That is the question....

chillidoggy

Toby Carvery-Grills. It's double barrelled.

ICBM

Went to Eton. No idea if that's why he got the job as Chief Boy Scout or if he was picked for his knowledge of knots.

I drove through Eton last week. Had to resist the temptation to run down a future Prime Minister as a pre-emptive measure for the good of the nation...

Travisthedog

I guess when I called him a twat I'd just witnessed him pull an unsuspecting and quite beautiful snake out from under a bush and then chop it's fucking head off and drank its blood

Why?

I stand by my original point

Twat
