i have never been in desert i accept but we really cant say that we will not be...
The uses i got from that show....

1) How to choose a plant to eat...! (it has helped me once when i was on cross country NCC )

2) How to use cactus as a needle and thread for stitching.

3) In which type of climate how to adapt there and how to find food...

4) How wild animals will react & how you can prevent it from attacking you.

5) The way to choose the type of food in different situation....

there are more...


Bhai .... i am not entirely supporting what he is doing... yes i also accept that some of the things are too odd to see like eating a snake, sheep, killing other animals etc... but what i mean to say is the show should be continued but the things which they show should be censored ie wild and anti social things should be stopped.... thats all.

Look at this link please, specially the supporters, i found it on the PETA forums

Bad Advice and Inaccuracies - BearWiki

I knew he has recieved many criticisms about the show... Thats bound to happen when you run a show like this... People always have different opinions...

In addition they also say that hez not always without support... He had been caught in camps of crew, small motels near the shooting scene, partying when he should be sleeping alone in the jungle...

But all these claims doen't matter to me as long as the show seems informative to me...

Rameshjeee

Good point...Repo for you...

StarK

not regular people, but real surviving experts! can you refute any of what is claimed there??

Well i've mixed thought about this particular series.. Initially i thought Bear Grylls only uses dead animal, he did not kill any, But after reading previous post it seem he kill also(I've never seen). Well if i put that killing stuff apart, then i like Man Vs Wild.

Also its not only killing, it also shows how you can survive in those tough conditions..

1. He also show which plant need to be eaten and how to be eaten in desert.
2. How you can beat the heat by putting wet sand, also how and where you find those wet sand.
3. How you can use your trouser as life jacket.
4. If you are thirsty how can you find water by digging and how you can filter it with limited resource.


Also someone mentioned only 1 percent of population find themselves in these conditions, life if very uncertain, who know you can found yourself trapped in those conditions, and if i stuck then i'm willing to do anything to be alive, ofcourse i don't turn to cannibal, but i won't show any hesitation in killing animal to be alive, also i strongly deny of killing animal in TV (Am i being diplomatic)


P.S
No intention to hurt anyone's emotions, Human thinking is tend to diversified

Exactly correct Gothic.

and we should not forget another point he is not just any guy who is doing that show for money, he is a EX-Special operation member of Britten army.

StarK

all of you are just so inspired he used to be an army man and blah blah...
and are prepared to ignore his wrong advice.... bravo people!

A fact: Bear Grylls is laughed at by the real survival experts. If you check the link i gave you, you would know why.

if you are so unwilling to accept your hero's faults, i'm afraid i can't help you... and so please don't waste my and your own time here.

gothic_coder

Why are you getting angry buddy.. "Many Mens Many Head"..


Wouldn't it be fair to start a petition of "Stop broadcasting killing in Man Vs Wild" despite to "Stop the show Man Vs Wild" ????
I won't loose single second to sign the first one...

StarK

now you start pointing out my faults...

yes absolutely it should be that, i don't mind people acting on the guy's ill advice (and probably landing into more trouble) if in the rarest of rare case of them getting stranded in no man's land.

kirankumargb

SK we are not supporting him entirely... and we are not pointing out your faults.... we are just telling to stop the wild show of killing animals but rest of the show is good so we want that...
You are also having problem with the same na ie killing animals ! we are also on your side only we also dont want animals to be killed...! The difference is you want the whole show should be stopped but we want killing animals should be removed and the show should continue...!

No Personal feelings to hurt you mate... just its our thoughts thats all.
If i am hurting then i am really SORRY...!

gothic_coder

Well apart from killing(Which actually is issue here), i don't see any ill advice from him, i found it informative(It's my thinking, you might disagree with me) Or Did i miss something

P.S
I'm not pointing out your fault bro, you also know that.. PEACE

StarK

@coder Its not me who says he gives out wrong advice at various times in the show, its all here Bad Advice and Inaccuracies - BearWiki, much of it being judged by real survival experts.

@kumar man you're not hurting me at all, when i had started the thread i did not know that much of his advice is not wholly correct, since i do not watch the show. Now that i know that, it becomes specially important that the show doesn't spread cr** all over the world.

kirankumargb

No issues...!

aashaka_gandhi

well i vent seen the show myself.....but as i cud read......

i can make out tht its really bad tht thy r showing something like this on a channel like discovery....how on earth cud thy do sumthing soo bad n cruel...? its a fact than a human is cruel but to an extent ....... this is like extremes.......!!!very bad....

i registered myself for the petition...

gothic_coder

@ SK.. I completely won't deny the facts, Instead of that i will give you example,

I just hope Bear doesn't comes up with his counter attack about what real survival expert said(Just like loose change)

So all i'm saying that i won't deny any ones facts.....

After Loose Change...I watch it, I think it, Then i act or decide


P.S
I'm not protecting Mr Bear, It's just i like the SHOW (Except Killing)...

Logik

hey the show i exellent. i like it very much.
but yes, killing the animals is not supportive at all.
as some one said above, show must concentrte on, how to survive with the veg stuff in the nature. anyone tried to mail this thing to disovery channel?

newprouser

Would you support anybody killing humans purely for the sake of medical information/research, if it means that you will an hour's worth of TV show with interesting facts about human body, too ??

thanks Rameshjeee


Exactly.

gothic_coder

To the point

itsmemad

If everybody follows your logic... Then all should stop being a non-veg! I know few are... but what about majority of the others? We all contribute to kill a chicken to satisfy our stomach... Don't we need to stop that too? And do we really need to put a stop on the scientific experiments on animals which they do for the survival of mankind? My answer is No
