Breathtakingly fake; it makes you realise how edited and fake the media really are.

nice vid bit **** but that is normal, whats your problem? It’s a mix of set shots and him actually climbing something?

My problem is the sheer dishonesty of it.

Wait…..are you trying to tell me tv programes are edited….and perhaps not 100% real?

Shocking trail erosion going on there.

are you saying he didn’t climb it??

Where is the dishonesty?

^^are you him? If so, Ray Mears is better than you 😉

I’d say thats a distinct possibility 🙂

Deep down he knows that.

Why? Either back it up of head off to the conspiracy threads 😉

It’s not like he doesn’t have previous

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7304617.stm

and there are plenty of other tales floating around in the outdoor activities community.

At least fame has’nt changed him.He was a complete bell swipe when I met him before he was on TV.

My problem is the sheer dishonesty of it.

Don’t watch any Attenborough, your head will explode.

I’m surprised he had the energy to climb after running all that way carrying all his climbing equipment.

You are the real Donald Trump, and I claim my $5!
I personally have no time for Grylls, but all programmes of that nature are edited, even Ray Mears, who I consider to be much more honest in what he does., it’s an inevitable part of programme making.

Dicovery Shed (channel 161 on Sky) has been showing a whole load of Bear Grylls Born Survivor series. Some of the stuff is actually quite interesting so long as you tune out the miraculous coincidences of him finding exactly what he needs in a rather MacGyver-esque fashion.

Wait until you see Jurassic Park.

You mean he didn’t self belay himself up a 100m high tower with a 10m rope and three runners??? 😯

Amazing, climbing a route like that with a rack comprising 2 Friends – expect he was top-roped and hauled up!

Don’t watch any Attenborough, your head will explode.

Yep, and 90% of the sound is by a foley artist and not real.

Was it a doedorant advert? The logo at the end looked like a version of Sure for Men or something. Do we have to get upset about faked adverts now?

Did laugh at the auto-played next video – “Men’s survival trousers”! 😆

Got to hand it to him, Edward’s made a career out of being a complete fake. Not that he needed to with a rich Tory MP father (Sir Michael) and mother (Lady Sarah). I’m sure Huckleberry and Marmaduke will be proud of him though.

Lemony.

Dodgy friend placement and a static rope visible in shot while tying on to the yellow one. No, can’t be fake!

Absolutely hilarious. If it’s dishonest though, they need to make a better job of it. Didn’t even try to hide the top-rope on several of the shots. Even showed him tying into it at the bottom! 😀

I wonder where his belayer hid while he was bounding onto the summit in triumph?

I suppose there are still people out there who believe he abseils off knotted pig’s tendon.

He’s not even a real bear.

….and he very rarely grills anything.

Full disclosure: I’m not a real panther and I don’t think Flashy is an actual Captain either

I saw one where he throws a grappling hook into a tree on the other side of a gorge, pulls the rope tight and then declares that he has no choice but to go for it.

He then abseils down the “rope” that has transformed into a very tight steel wire. Brilliant. 🙂

I’m sure he doesn’t do lots of stuff that’s on his show, but if he can inspire some kids to join the scouts and actually leave their bedrooms to do some outdoor stuff then more power to him. He’s not exactly criminal number one is he?

To the 20 6/7 year olds who come along to Beavers every week, he’s a legend. I don’t dispute there’s probably a lot of fakery going on. 🙂

Tying into a static rope and wearing trainers… Certainly fake.

Mmm, when you realise the core audience is 10 year old boys it all makes more sense.

Bear Grylls is awesome.

I mean, he does all those things with his head stuck massively up his own arse.

I particularly liked the shot of him at 1:42.
He is literally hanging off the top rope with his legs out at an angle, but feet on nothing.
Like he’s trying to do mid-air splits.

He’s not even a real bear.

Hardly unique in that, I mean, Paddington, do you think he’s real? Or Yogi who is clearly fake and probably just an animation. The whole dishonest industry built around bear impersonation needs taking down. It makes me so angry.

I bet you’re not even a dog!

And he’s got no wires, never mind bad ones.

No problem with BG but much prefer Ray Mears. No invented drama and he genuinely loves the people and places he goes to.

Sort of guy you could have a beer with in the pub.

BG… Not so much.

My Mrs calls RM ‘that fat bloke that eats leaves’. 🙂

I know his Mrs, Ruth. Lovely lass from a Durham ex pit village. (she really is really nice)
