I've been watching Survivorman and Man vs Wild since they both started because my father is obsessed with them both. He on the other hand preferred Man vs Wild. For those of you that aren't familiar with the two shows Man vs Wild is hosted by Bear Grylls, a Uk Special forces officer and Survivor man is hosted by Les Stroud(way cooler name. Not as faggoty). The two shows share the same concept. A man puts him self in an enviroment(desert, rain forest, artic, etc.) he is unfamiliar with and shows you how you would survive if you we stuck in that area with little or no supplies. Here's the fucking difference. As my dad watched Man vs Wild he would always comment on how crazy the Bear Grylls was because he's eating an eyeball or someshit and during one of the episodes I realized that he had to of had a huge ass camera crew with him. My dad kept saying, "Bullshit. He's alone". Impossible considering you have him walking up a mountain and the camera is zooming out. I begin to realize, this mother fucker probably edits all his shots so that it looks like he's doing this shit.
Example. He begins to build a hut to stay for the night. It shows him beginning work on it. Boom. Suddenly it cuts to him standing before a finished hut. Well a month or two later my dad tells me, hey you were right. He admitted that his crew helps him and that sometimes when it appears he's sleeping in a jungle overnight for example, he's actually flying to a hotel for the night. They just build the illusion that he stayed overnight.
Fuck That. Les Stroud. He is a man. He is a crazy sunuvabitch. He is completely alone when he does these trips. He carries around 70 lbs of camera equipment with him at all times. So say he wants a shot of himself walking up a mountain, he has to set the camera up on a tripod and then walk up the mountain for the shot he wants. He must then walk back turn the camera off and then do whatever it is he's going to do next. Another thing, he always makes it so that he has to stay in the enviorment for a number of days then leaves. What impresses me most about him is that sometimes it'll get so shitty in the enviorment for him that he will have a breakdown and just stop. He admits defeat and gets the fuck out. And sometimes he carries a rifle. Why cooler than eating a buffalo eye like that hack Bear Grylls does for attention. On top of all of this, filming Survivor man has put so much stress on Les' body that after season 3 he retired stating that he couldn't endure another season. I would like to salute Les Stroud for showing me how it truly would be if I were trapped in the desert with only a vehicle and a canteen of water. He's taught me so much
Here's a video of Bear Grylls being exposed as a fake. And piece of shit.
Now here's Les Stroud telling a really nice story. Because he is so personable.
And here is a video of an 8 year child hitting his face into a chair that I found while looking for survivorman clips.
