How does he do it?

I enjoy Bear Grylls attitude about surviving, but jeez, he eats some stuff that even I would nor eat. I've eaten Zebra and various snakes. Putting a Camel Spider in my mouth is just not gonna' happen

I figure if I was that damn hungry I might just close my eyes and eat it.

You should go to the Survivalistboard forum and see the debate about him vs Les stroud haha.

There are times I think I would resort to cannibalism before I did some of the stuff he does.

i'd rather rejoin my Lord in Heaven than squeeze elephant shit into my mouth.

Thank You. this was the answer I was looking for.

Hahaha, isn't elephant dung a good tinder for fire starting?

**13F3OL7** · 01-13-10, 21:18

Starting a fire maybe, but not human consumption.

If you could determine how much he gets paid
then count the bites of "stuff" he eats, I would
bet that it his hundreds of dollars per bite...

A lot of people will do strange things for money.

This is true. They're also willing to humiliate themselves on TV for money.

he's pretty well schooled on an area before he goes into it, from what I understand...

for example, the elephant shit thing, I would bet money that wasn't

a) the first time he'd seen it done

or

b) the first time he'd done it...

the "purists" all love Stroud because he goes out by himself....which is fine, and good to see...Stroud doesn't take a lot of the risks Grylls does because he is on his own...

Grylls can take more risks (and therefore show us more cool stuff) presumably because he has a crew with him who, if need be, could get him help

but the idea that Grylls is just an actor is absurd....i don't know his whole story, but I know he's one of the youngest people to summit Everest, and he was a reservist in the SAS for 3 years...i don't know about all this survivorman vs bear stuff, but neither of those are accomplishments to sneeze at...

either way, I find his show entertaining, so i'll keep watching

(i could do without him giving himself an enema again, though

)
