Lucky kids!

that is awesome, you guys gotta stop giving Bear Grylls crap now

Survivorman would have recommended waiting in the same spot for 5 days until the rescue chopper came...

 

[Jawo]

darn good show too!

Hah nice job by the kid.

It sounds to me like it may be sensationalized a bit though... If his friends were in the water for more than a few minutes theyd be dead...

So if he fell through the ice and made it home after climbing out in a couple minutes time... he wasnt far from home.

i read the title as:
"watching man" vs "wild saves teens' lives"

Yeah, I agree. I'm not sure how the information he received from the show really translated into saving his life, but no doubt it was a good tip. Seems doubtful that had they not removed their clothes they'd be dead as the article implies.

Maybe I'm missing something...

No way. I'm gonna go die jumping over a lava tube with a picture of Bear Grylls in my shirt pocket. That'll show him.

Pretty cool. Good to see kids watching Discovery Channel instead of MTV as well.

bear gryles
ray mears
and survivorman
pretty good stuff.
ray mears is more documentary type stuff. more and more city kids are becoming more detached from the wild, so its good to have these shows. esp with the over scheduled kid thing going on.

Bear Grylls is pretty cool.

Even if that whole scandal came about, some of that stuff can't be scripted so he's still badass.

 

[TheVrolok]

Cool story. Sure, maybe Bear sneaks off to a hotel to nap, but man, the guy survived a 1,600 foot fall and then decided to do a survival show. That's pretty badass.

 

[SaoFeng]

pretty awesome

 

[Lorax]

good thing the kids didn't have to squeeze feces for water.

Hahaha... well said, MvW > Survivorman

 

[CptCrunch]

great show, glad it could be useful, like MacGyver

What did the other boys do? Did they take of their clothes too and save themselves? If not then he wasn't in as much danger.

Richard Proenneke > Les Stroud (Survivorman) > Bear Grylls

survivorman fans know better than to run around on a fcking frozen sheet of ice

I was really thirsty at work the other day and the coke machine was out of order so I drank my own urine...THANKS BEAR! for saving my life!
