How does he do it?

termites, ants, and things of that nature...

i could never get used to grubs....the way the wriggled...and squished...i'd rather eat a tree full of termites than one grub (although the wings get stuck in your teeth like popcorn shells)

in my second life I taught special education...and we took a group of kids on a hike up a pretty steep mountain outside of Charlottesville, VA once...


one of the kids (a 5th grader) was extremely overweight, and struggled greatly...i must have walked that mountain 6 times walking back and forth from the main group to where one of my assistants was making slow progress with Terrence...

anyway, a little bit from the top he stopped on a big rock and refused to go any further...

i ended up sitting there with him trying to coax him the rest of the way...

one of the things he had been most looking forward to was the pizza at the end when we got back down...

i tried that as a ploy to get him to finish (you gotta go up before you go back down)...he said he didn't care, he'd just stay right there and find something else to eat

I said, "Like this?" and grabbed a termite, let it run across my teeth, than sucked it down...

I swear the kid sprinted the last distance to the top screaming "Mr Trio ate a bug! Mr Trio ate a bug!"




if only I'd known it would have been that simple i would have munched on termites the whole way up!

we ate all kinds of ****ed up shit in military school. i was on our Ironman team, and our team mentor was a Ranger with SERE, LRRP, RSCL, etc quals up the ass... we'd bite the heads off live lizards (for hardcore points only) and skewer 'em into "zerd kabobs," tons and tons of ants, various desert rodents, grubs, lots of cicadas, roots, leaves...

never sqeezed elephant shit into our mouths, though.

So what is the weirdest thing you have eaten?

For me, the jungle survival diet: Snails, fish eyes, larva, leaf cutter ants, those big ass green bugs, and a few others. Toss it back and try not to pay attention to the texture.

Probably duck tounge & donkey meat at a couple different restaurants in Beijing. And only God knows what while stationed in Korea.

So what is the weirdest thing you have eaten?

Rocky Mountain Oysters.

I've lived a gloriously sheltered life when it comes to not having to eat weird stuff.

the guys a ****in wack job.

Holy Mother of God! This is going to take me a while to get out of my head. I think I will step up the lifesaver bottle on my list too . . .

Didn't somebody prove that he was in fact squeezing a sponge made to look like elephant dung and not an actual piece of elephant dung? I'm certainly not an expert on dung, but I don't recall ever encountering any type of dung you could squeeze like a sponge.

IIRC a lot of what they show has been criticized as fake.

I enjoy the show and I'm sure the guy is a real badass but I don't buy all of it.

Bear is a lot more entertaining to watch then Les Stroud.

Les is a retard. He took his whole fmaily out of a normal suberman home, and displaced them into a cabin in the middle of nowhere in Canada. Took his kids from all their friends, all they afterschool activities and moved them into the woods! like 100 miles from the nearest town. What parent does that to his kids?

Anyway, Bear is the man, real or staged, its awesome to watch. Except when he gave him self an enima on a raft... even my girlfriend who finds him "hot" thought that was a little too much lol
