Check out John Curry or Mark Baker. Both are students of the frontier rifleman (1750-1790) and are both big time writers in the muzzle loading magazines. They go into the woods with 18th Century technology (and if they carry a cell phone for emergency purposes, they've never mentioned it).

Yeah, what he said...
I checked out Ron Hood's website www.survival.com and was really impressed.
His videos on Youtube are really informative. I spent a major part of the holiday riveted to the 'puter. He looks like the 'Real Deal' IMHO, I'd love to take some of his classes. check him out. |

Look up Dave Canterbury. He posts through YouTube. From what I gather he is is either a former ranger or SF. His vids are very good and he deserves a shot at this thing. He goes by the screen name Wildernessoutfitters. Look him up you won't be disappointed.

How about the guy that has the other show? On discovery channel. I think his name is Lee Stroud, beats Bear Gryllis by a long shot, the guy even carries his own camera equipment and actually stays out there, unlike Bear and his crew. Look at this video of one of Bear Gyllis' classic trips, clearly shows the hoax.

Thanks Nick for the laughs! I always knew the guy was full of it but never looked too much into it. I think the first clue I received was when he was in the Rockies and left the fishheads or whatever in his camp and the bear came that night! come on my seven year old knows better than that.

Bear is an entertainer who thinks that drinking your own unfiltered pee is a good idea to stay hydrated (literally). That combined with all the idiotic and pointless risk taking in his show is just for that, show.

yeah its funny. i know hes done his time, but not only is a lot of his show phony, he also does so many many stupid dangerous things that anyone in their right mind trying to survive would never do. like jee "let me climb 100 feet up this tree and risk breaking every bone in my body so i can have a looksy!" i don't know about that. its a good idea but i unno about half the stuff on there.
