Man VS Wild – How listening to Bear Grylls will get you killed

Why Discovery tries to pass Man vs Wild off as a survival show I will never understand. The guy is a complete fraud and 90% of the information that he gives is either wrong or just plain dangerous.

It wasn’t bad enough that this fraud was presented to the public as a wilderness survival expert, but to pretend that he is now an urban survivalist (as shown on the newest episode of MAN VS WILD) is insane. This show is not about survival, it is nothing more than a stuntman preforming carefully choreographed stunts.

In the latest so called “urban survival” episode Bear Grylls advises:

• Crawling across power lines to explore old abandoned buildings
• Climbing down old rusty pipes and risking a fall that would kill you if the pipe broke.
• Crawling through Sewage (does this sound smart to you?)
• Blowing up doors to gain access to abandoned buildings
• and countless other stupid things that have nothing to do with urban survival.

HEY MORON…. STOP RUNNING AND JUMPING – It may not sound like a big deal but in a survival situation it can get you killed. Episode after episode shows Bear Grylls running down mountains, jumping across boulders, diving into freezing cold waters to save time, and countless other idiotic things that will help ensure your death.
