for thinking that Bear Grylls is stretching the word 'survival' by using it in relation to

[nickytwotimes]

a trip in rural Ireland?

I mean, come on, ffs.

Surely the biggest challenge is getting enough footage without walkers in it?

BCNS

BCNS.

I'd take Bear raw anyday.

I like Scout/climber types. Sluurrrp.

ROFL! I will never be able to watch Mr Tumble now without seeing the whole terrifying scene in my head...

BCNS I won't be able to get that image out of my head now. Which is a good thing.

Not the Mr Tumble bit though...

have just read some of this and it made me pmsl

OMG! expat.. I married ( and divorced)one of those .. as descibed above.. where I thought he would be adventrous and fun.. he was in fact an "equipment freak" who would think nothing of spending ££££ for a winter coat.. because you can climb everest in it, £££ on a watch that navy divers wear and walking boots that crampons attatched to.. and wore them round surrey middle class shopping centre..whilst carrying his survival fire starter keyring and a pocket credit card multi tool.

he also happened to carry a full size AXE in the frigging landrover.. just incase he came upon a fallen tree in the sodding road .. in surrey/Hampshire/berkshire borders! ... mind you that was quite handing when mum decided she no longer liked the dwarf willow tree in the fron t garden..
and was debating this with my father..when ta daaaaa

action hero surrey survival man.. ran to the landy.. grabbed the full sized AXE!! and chopped the blary tree out of the ground.. before my mother had chance to breathe... schwoooop schwooop it was flipping gone..!!!!

I believe this is what old bear is like on his day off as well. he seems the type!

I'm chanelling Rimmer from Red Dwarf. I think he's a frustrated Bear type.

go on cornsilk i'm intrigued......

With the Rimmer thing?

yup, how is he a frustrated bear type?

Ace Rimmer was a bit Bear like.
'Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast!'

Mr Tumble on a spit roast?

Is it the wine I'm drinking or is this thread getting a little weird

just going back to bear grylls for a moment here, just googled him and read wikipedia.
two of his kids are named marmaduke and huckleberry. are they going to be extra double hard when they grow up so they can take all the schtick that goes with those names? other random bear fact - He also rowed naked for 22 miles in a homemade bathtub along the Thames to raise funds for a friend who lost his legs in a climbing accident.
he's way posher than i thought he was too. there you go. i've learnt some new things tonight.

@ "way posher"

Oh, equipment freaks are posers, BCNS. Nope, I could smell those a mile away. I liked the grubby, sinewy, wiry type who could climb on a minimum of gear of any sort. The guy who climbed 6 pitch cracks with no camming devices. Oooo, yeeessss. That was my man.

.. my god his arms must have been amaizing!!

Why did he row naked?

Why wasn't I informed of this event?!

corn weren't you watching tonight.. old bear chappy doesn't like wet clothes!! duh!

LOL expat!

He didn't take his wets undies off though. (disappointed emoticon)

My 8-month-old son doesn't like wet clothes! Duh indeed .

.. I noticed that the wet trunks stayed on.. and all I could think of is he's is so going to look like he's wet his pants.. hope his coat comes over his bum!

Fgs do you think his whole career is just there to justify him constantly getting his kit off? Why doesn't he just do his own strip show? (And how could he possibly be any posher than he already appears?)
