Bogroll Love Thread

i'm sorry, but we've had this discussion:
parry>mears>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>grylls.

finally have someone who agrees with me on the Mears vs. grylls debate.
I have a lot of love for you eyebrows

Only tossers don't agree. Ray Mears is a legend. Bear fucking who?

+1 for mears

If you want to entertain yourself for a while- go to youtube and watch the survivorman/ bear grylls stuff.
There's some serious partisan arguments, it cracks me up.

but having not heard of Bruce Parry, I cannot comment.

I want to go on a Mears course/ expedition, might do the nordic skiing one. cos I like snow.
Also he's really environmentally cautious, unlike grylls' kill it technique.

hold on ray mears runs courses??????????

also there is only 1 point to make when comparing the two.
Ray Mears survives due to his wealth of knowledge and expertise. It is unnecessary for him to go to the extremes which Grylls has to.
Grylls certainly has a stronger stomach and as an athlete or specimen of man is probably more impressive, however the shock factor of squeezing water from elephant shit etc is done far better on programs such as dirty sanchez (which is also awful). He also takes any excuse to get his shirt off.

As Ray Mears lightly fricasees some wild fungi, served with an amuse bouche of shellfish Grylls eats his own shoelaces with a side order of rhino dung

Ladeeesssaannndddgentlemeennnnn - there is only one winner

surprising no-one has stated the blatantly obvious which is that half the world i.e the eastern half has got this sorted.
squatting and washing uses no paper, and you get a much better movement anyway
so there

Real men use sand paper.

That would really wipe the smile off your face.

Look how fat Mears is. That means he is a better survivalistenger.

Isn't it time that this thread had an analogy to Hitler's Germany?

It is going down the toilet fast -or maybe that's Brown's Britain.

Are you suggesting that Britain is becoming a Turd World country?

hold on ray mears runs courses??????????

Yep. My mates are going on one next year. £400 to spend a few nights in a tent near Croydon eating worms and eachothers shit. Needless to say, I declined their offer, I have better things to spend my money on. I can't see how knowing any survival skills can benefit me in anyway whatsoever, being as I live in London

yer fuck that shit^ I was a cub scout

I thought it was going to be some gnarly thing doing it hunter gatherer stylee with Gordon Hillman in some far away land

actually ive just googled it and they look pretty awesome, thinking about enlisting

lol I was being slightly sarcastic. They were unable to convince me of the merits of the course. Seeing as I can get a weeks diving in Egypt for the price they are paying.

the original bush tucker man would have used some gum leaves or a goanna.

I prefer three-ply.

when fashion goes a little too far, you can always count on BAPE to be there....

He's the guy with the cool hat, Him and Mears just did a show together. Where they both taught eachother things the other didn't know about. Peas in a pod?

Is this made of monkey fur then?

Fuck yeah Les Hiddins is the best ever. 2 tours of duty in Nam as a forward scout for infantry. He is the best tv survivalist ever.

i reckon pistanator started this thread for a (arse) crack

You what, you mean you're straight?? Oh my God, you never had full sex with a man?? Jeees, kid, you've never lived.....try it mate, it may change your life!

No thanks buddy, just out of interest are you a pitcher or a catcher.Swing batter batter batter batter Swing.

i definitely want to do the nordic stuff. sounds epic.

There are plenty of other bushcraft schools/courses for similar or less £'s, Mr Mears does very little teaching.
