I am just watching the sick bastard on TV eating the eye of a dead reindeer.
The man is seriously fucked up. They dropped him in Siberea, minus 20.
The one IO liked the best was when he got stung in the face by a bee and his face swelled up.
I have watched all the episodes of his series on Discovery and read a survival book he published. He sure has some knowledge about survival, and he is definately tough and not easily put off by anything. He has had good training ofcause, but he is also adventureous thats for sure. Not a lot of people would put themselves though what he chooses to do. Impressive stuff worth watching. He has gotten a bit of slack for having a film crew with him, especially compaired to the guy from the series Survivorman, who brings the cameras with him and does everything himself, left to survive for one week alone in various places and situations. But Bear Grylls has a lot of style and he is entertaining at the same time as he is being educational.
He's barking. He was in the savanna and he came across a rotting tree. He picked out a handful of little beetle grubs, about an inch long, and scoffed those. Then he found this monster, twice the thickness of your thumb with a big brown head. When he bit into it it splurted everywhere, and he forced it down. He said it tasted of cold custard and bogies. Even he was gagging. Funnily enough he got diarrhoea in that episode.

The ones where he injures himself are the best.
I foun d one on my Sky plus the other day that I had taped, it was in Southern Ireland of all places, not too inhospitable you might think, but he jumped out of a helecopter into the sea and swam ashore, he was living on the moorland, he found a dead sheep that had been trapped in a peat bog, nearly got stuck in the bog trying to get to it, retrieved said sheep, skinned, said sheep, ate bits of it and used the skin to sleep in, and as a float to get accross a lake.
Mad as a box of frogs.
I like how he survives the wilderness while off-camera.
In a hotel.
I think once he was stuck in a swamp. He claims that snakes are a good source of protein, but only eat the head, as the digestive tract is full of rotting fish.
Harry Hill's coverage of his survival series is class :clap:
Seen him catch a poisonous snake and eat the rest and tell us to bury the head due to latent poison in the fangs. Also seen him wrestle a 2m long water goanna thing and swing it over his head to bash its bonce into a tree so he could scoff that - he ate the legs and tail.

The worst thing I saw him eat was a skunk which he snared and roasted over a barbeque, it ended up looking like a charred and disgusting smelling cat carcass.
That was the episode where he was stung in the face by a bee, I enjoyed that one.
You said :) <viz>He got stang on the face off of a bee</viz>

I'll have to go to remedial English lessons Jim :)

Could have just walked the few miles to the pub. Lazy bastard.
He wouldn't drink alcohol unless it had naturally fermented in the stomach of some long dead anomal.
That would be "Beer Grylls".
I'd like to see him go up against Hugh Fearnly Whittingstall in any sort of contest.
Hugh Fearnly Whittingstall is a disgusting bastard.. He'd eat his own faeces in the blink of an eye.
