Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Who would you rather have with you if you were stuck in the middle of nowhere and had to survive for a week? I'm going to go for Bear Grylls with Parry a close second. Ray Mears is a bit too boring for my liking and Bear Grylls always seems to do ridiculous things like sleep inside Zebras or climb down 500 ft cliffs .... he's a risk taker! I'm warming to Bruce Parry though, he is another mentalist and he's willing to try a lot of dodgy drugs! This thread is of no importance at all. I'm just terribly hungover and a bit bored. Vote away!

Alan_R Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Has to be Mears in direct answer to your question. As has already been covered in a few kickback topics and online alot of grylls stuff is set up or faked. While his programs are interesting aswell as entertaining I think I'd have to go with Mears for genuine knowledge and practical skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CostaJambo Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Parry would probably be able to tell you what is smokable or not, although on the down side he does look a bit like Ben off of Big Cook, Little Cook who is a total tool. Still undecided, may vote later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 But could you trust a fat survival expert? I'm not so sure. All the more reason to trust him. Lives in the wilderness, comes back fatter than he went. Stands to reason he is good at it. Could probably find a cream cake in the desert.

However, his chances of dying of a heart attack are much bigger than the others due to being a fatty. Risky business this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosanostra Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Has to be Parry. He likes getting mad with it. He'd find some tree root and make it into a big biffter and go on some drug crazed, hallucination bender while wearing a head-dress fashioned from a turnip. Seems like a good sort of a guy to me.

Watched an episode tonight on C4 where he is in Zambia. Unreal! He had the sh*ts from eating dodgy bugs and was climbing up a cliff face when he had to stop and have a dump as he was climbing up. Superb. You just don't get that kind of entertainment from Fatty Mears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he does keel over with a heart attack, just start eating him as you said he is a fatty, enough meat on him to last a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just don't get that kind of entertainment from Fatty Mears. New Series is in barren rocky wastelands in i think Mexico. He has just chopped the head off a skunk, quality! just seen the clip before the break where it looks as if he is getting honey from a bee hive. he gets stung to feck and his head is so swolen he looks like an alien, mentalist!

cosanostra Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Sorry but Mears and Grylls are a pair on mincers in comparison to Parry. When have either of those 2 blousers ever gotten crunked up on poisonous frog venom and gone mental for about 12 hours, whilst chanting about a sacred wolf who lived by a tree with a bunch of tribesman? The Parry is a true legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamboinglasgow Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 has to be mears, Gills acts like he has to impress by doing outlandish things, Parry is just crazy. Mears acts boring because he doesn't need to do anything exciting unless it is strictly nessecary. But when that happens it will be a spectacular event. He knows what to eat, what to do in every event and I am sure will kill a crocadile with just one look. Good to see our SAS doesn't just produce writers but also survival presenters. Wonder what they will produce next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cade Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Parry would be too busy eating every mushroom and berry in sight, tripping off his nut. Grylls would have his chopper pick him up and take him to the nearest hotel. Mears is the logical choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redm Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Parry Parry Parry. He's a nice bloke and he knows how to party in the wilderness. What more could you ask for? Given a smidgen of an opportunity, I'd quite gladly push Grylls off the edge of a very dangerous cliff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
