Bear Grylls

pure, survivor, bear grylls, awesomeness

Bear is absolutely awesome. His Discovery tv-show, "Man vs. Wild" (could've just called it "Man vs. Everything else"), is beyond anything I've ever seen. Where other boring nature hosts fails in engaging the viewers this guy knows how to put on a show. Eat a raw snake? No problem. Eat bugs? They're high on proteine. Chug it down. 50 feet drop? No problem.

Watch it. Bear Grylls is the man.

I have watched this show from the begining.
It's a good show.

Here is the official site:

As they say on the Discovery Channel: The World is just awesome

Be careful Espen. Limited television viewing is OK, but too much can evaporate your mind!

j/k. I haven't yet had a chance to tune into it. I have little problem with snakes and bugs, except roaches.

Espen you gave me an idea:

Forgive the off topic comment Espen, but have you changed the font on your blog? I'm finding it hard to read this latest post.

Angelikiellinidata # Tuesday, November 11, 2008 12:57:20 AM

Paula,
go a little higher!

lets have some Listerine handy as well!

slackwrdave # Tuesday, November 11, 2008 3:00:42 AM

I have this friend who, every time he has to go to the bathroom, yells "who's thirsty?" Maybe he can get on the Discovery Channel.

Angelikiellinidata # Tuesday, November 11, 2008 3:33:57 AM

I don;t dare to ask what he yells when he goes for the nbr2 !

Oh my GAWD!

Angeliki that's just....

Where's the Scope?

Angelikiellinidata # Tuesday, November 11, 2008 4:01:54 AM

Babs I have a feeling it will get even better!
Dave is never shy to share !

*hugs*

DeniseDBabbit # Tuesday, November 11, 2008 4:47:32 AM

He must be sleeping at the moment.

Dark FurieFurie # Tuesday, November 11, 2008 4:54:29 AM

Sounds like a Saturday night where I grew up.

Uric acid isn't the best thing to be drinking. Doesn't the guy know what bottled water is?

Dan DeVilledmfalmeida # Tuesday, November 11, 2008 1:13:55 PM

Dude, his show is the best! I watch it always I can!!!

Haha.

slackwrdave # Tuesday, November 11, 2008 3:20:20 PM

c'mon now, let's get back to the urine.

Espen André ØverdahlEspenAO # Tuesday, November 11, 2008 3:26:44 PM

Drinking your own urine is a necessity to survive! I do it all the time, even when I'm not in a survival situation. This is to successfully acclimate to the taste and overcome the psychological barrier becuase I will, one day, end up in a survival situation. I'm sure of that.

There ya go Espen! All my friends just think I'm having an apple juice.

Espen André ØverdahlEspenAO # Tuesday, November 11, 2008 3:37:17 PM

Haha. Excellent. Back on track!

Matt Coxcoxy # Tuesday, November 11, 2008 4:04:51 PM

Drinking your own urine is a necessity to survive!

I hate to be the one to uncover your survival tips as mere fetish, but you are incorrect and would ultimately fail in a life survival situation.

It's actually far, far better to drink someone else's urine. Gross, maybe. But your own urine has already been filtered through your body and is what remains once it's had the 'goodness' taken out of it - which is why it's known as 'waste'.

If you drink someone else's urine, your body will benefit from the good stuff that your friend's body can't/doesn't/didn't take. Their waste is your... nutrition?

If you have no friends during the life survival period; drinking your own urine again would have to suffice.

Espen André ØverdahlEspenAO # Tuesday, November 11, 2008 4:08:49 PM

...

I have nothing to add here.

Matt Coxcoxy # Tuesday, November 11, 2008 4:12:43 PM

Don't worry, EspenAO. You can always rely on me to kill a discussion! Usually it's because I say something really stupid and off-topic though, and not because I've said something constructive and viable.

Espen André ØverdahlEspenAO # Tuesday, November 11, 2008 4:14:09 PM

This time it was a combination of everything! Congratulations.

Charles SchlossChas4 # Tuesday, November 11, 2008 4:19:36 PM

Espen thanks for the info note taken in Opera. Is there anything else Bear Gryllls had done that some might find strange?

Angelikiellinidata # Tuesday, November 11, 2008 4:38:02 PM

not returning my calls!

slackwrdave # Tuesday, November 11, 2008 5:42:25 PM

When drinking someone else's, do you use a glass?

Angelikiellinidata # Tuesday, November 11, 2008 5:47:30 PM

I never thought I will start this !

Dave,
when you drink water from a garden hose do you use a glass ???

Dark FurieFurie # Tuesday, November 11, 2008 5:50:46 PM

Coxy, it's an admin thing. Any company that hires admin for an online community forces those admin to go through training that results in them being able to survive off their own bodily fluids. It's the best way to make sure they wont stop fighting a flooder to use the bog.

slackwrdave # Tuesday, November 11, 2008 6:50:29 PM

I've been accessing this all day from work which makes me look a little negligent, but by golly, I think I'm getting thirsty. The people around me at work wonder why I keep busting out laughing.

Dark FurieFurie # Tuesday, November 11, 2008 8:01:19 PM

Walk up to one of them, until you're uncomfortably close to their face. Look furtively around you then whisper "Seventy three" and nod to them like it's the greatest secret in the world and you've just taken them into your confidence.
