Did you ever think that Man vs Wild was really real? Didn't the horse episode kinda give it away?

You realize it says in the intro of the show that some scenarios are fabricated to show the viewer what they could do in that given scenario, right? It literally says this at the beginning of every episode, lol.

Bear Grylls is super open about the fact that most of the stunts are setup for survival education and demonstration

He ate some nasty stuff... leave him alone

I don’t care about the stunts, as long as he really ate those bugs, larvae and drank pee that makes it extra.

I always felt like Man Vs Wild was more of a simulation. Not actually survival, like how survivor man was. Bear was there to entertain you and show you possible scenarios and solutions to problems and then showing us in example of how he would go about it if he was surviving. Different from Survivor Man in the way that Les Stroud is doing his examples of what to do it certain scenarios but actually trying to take you through it the most real way possible.

Option A: Do as they say and get rich and famous Option B: Be an honest nobody

Wait, did people actually think he was filming himself surviving in perilous situations? It's pretty obvious from the way it's filmed that he is only showing what you could do to survive, not that he is actively in a life and death situation.

Title: "stunts that where totally fake" Video: nothing to do with stunts and just all the info that they tell you at the beginning of each episode. Verdict: kinda disappointed ngl

Next Video:Looper videos that were totally false.

I never thought man vs wild was like a guide or something for survival, it's entertainment... If I ever got lost in a forest I would just straight up die...

I met bear on a survival course back in 2016 in wiltshire where he did actually show us survival techniques but tbh i go off youtubers now because some fire starting methods ive learned of some youtubers are simple and fantastically effective practically instantly in starting. bear was going all around everyone asking if they had a any questions and one woman popped up and said how she is a fan of man vs wild wild etc and even bear said there and then he enjoyed his time on it but it was a heavily scripted show mainly showing the audience some techniques what could help you in the wild not necessarily save you and some entertainment of him him eating nasty stuff which he enjoyed inflicting on the crew. I liked him alot, seemed a down to earth type of dude and regardless of the shows fakery ive still bought his knives and they have never failed me.

Les stroud on survivor man is legit.

I remember him acting as if he was in danger of being alligator food while crossing a canal in Louisiana. This is what we locals refer to as swimming.

Avoid doing stunts if at all possible in a wilderness survival situation. The whole idea is to not get yourself injured.

So what, he is a veteran and has skills in skydiving and other feats that no one else has.

I'm offended that people even speak of Man vs Wild in the same breath that they would Survivorman. The difference is night and day. They are not comparable. Man vs Wild was basically just the network trying to make their own copy of Survivorman that they would own and control because they couldn't get Les Stroud to sell out.

Obviously there are people to help him. It's a question of life after all. But the show is entertaining and informative and one of its kind.

Obviously, when a camera crew is around you, the feeling of panic,fright,stress,is gone, if you're lost. But if you're able to use his ideas, it makes for a very entertaining show.

this show is more of a entertainment show..that's why you will find him doing risky stuffs too (like falling through a sloppy terrain, jumping in dangerous rivers, falling in swamps), he tries to simulate the dangerous situations...but other survival shows actually only shows survival tricks, they mostly avoid doing risky stuffs unlike bear grylls & focus mainly on survival...

To me, it's kind of like saying you'd watch Shark Tank to learn how to become a millionaire. No doubt that the Sharks are successful business owners and partners, but there's obviously more entertainment value for the screen. Wouldn't be much reality tv shine in the logistics of running your own business, let alone a survival show of a guy just repeatedly defeating death in silence to 'prove it'. If he took himself to a situation where danger was very likely, just for TV, that's more than just him in danger. There's a limit to the filming, imagine Bear fighting a wild animal or something - legitimately fighting for his life - then having to go to court because a cameraman was injured.

I grew up near Reno, NV, and spent a lot of time watching wild horses. The proof that he never roped a wild horse? He's still alive.

I am a fan of both shows mentioned and I have always considered them to be educational and entertaining (all things with a grain of salt, and appropriate only in the right situation). BG on MvW even refers to the crew with him on occasion. If I want something more authentic then Survivorman is best and more satisfying. BG is a good showman. LS is a good educator.

I always knew that a lot of the show was probably fake, but my concern is always that people might actually take his bad advice. Also, him stereotyping other cultures and eating animals for entertainment.

Err... the horses, okay that’s fine. I doubt they’d want to lasso actually wild horses. As to a lot of the rest. It’s him and his camera man. Both are ex-SAS. So carrying smoke machines and all that other stuff around?? In some of the celebrity ones he pre-prepares challenges like rope bridges & descents But they have to for insurance on the celebrity. You should watch some of his other stuff. Besides, this show is about what to do if you find yourself in that kind of situation. If you do, you won’t be filming yourself will you 🙄

Imagine being in a survival situation and wasting energy / risking serious injury or death trying to wrangle and break a horse... if anything, kill the damn thing and eat it.

First! I think we all knew this tbh but he’s entertaining! For me that’s what matters most

Strange,I thought this video would have been way longer,,,,,,,,,

I don’t care give him some credit he climbed Mount Everest and survived and served his country where else can you Ask for

he ate some nasty stuff..why??? for us.

This guy really doesn't like his show or bear Grylls him self 🤯🥶

No offense to Bear, the dude clearly has some skills and guts but you compare Survivorman to Man Vs Wild and it is clear Les shows the boring reality of survival. Bear shows you some fantastical adventure that you tell grand kids. In the end real survival is not a joke and should be taken really seriously.

So what? At least I know that, I have to follow the trail downhill, it’ll take me to a river and then, I’ll find people 🙂 lol

Bear survives shopping at the family dollar hunting bravely for nail clippers to trim a toe nail..., absolute breath taking.. damn stud.....😳👍

Recycling content from 2017

I never believed he had to survive, but rather showing us what to do if we have to survive.

In the beginning of each episode they says bear and his team are given safety so I know everything is not true but he is phenomenal human

The point of the show isn't about Grylls actually surviving, it's about him showing off extreme survival techniques and situations. It's not supposed to be ¨real¨ or ¨fake¨.

Nice lie. You lost a subscriber

Did you guys read the disclaimer at the start of the the show?... In case you didn't, some of the scenes were done based on his knowledge. It also says that Bear is presented with scenario, which he reenacts it to demonstrate how to.

did you ever notice the intro? maybe this is not acurate but can help you out

How many bears could Bear Grylls grill if Bear Grylls could grill bears?

He killed and ate a fancy hooded rat from what I heard. Fancy rats are domesticated rats. They're basically like small pet dogs that can do tricks and form strong bonds. Its unforgiveable.

He didn't really have to "survive" anything. Everything is staged and a crew follows him everywhere

The one with John travolta was brilliant tho. Best episode ever.

This is basically a reupload of another one of your videos

Let's not forget the train in the tunnel scene. 🌬️🤡💨

For someone like me who has had his SAS training by living his entire life in Finland, the episodes where Bear is trying to 'survive' in an extreme, sub-zero environment stand out in a particularly bad way. He never wears any kind of hat or beanie and rarely even has mittens or gloves on. It looks absolutely ridiculous and takes away what little credibility this program has. It's almost comparable to the scenes in Game of Thrones where Jon Snow is travelling beyond the Wall, looking like he's going to attend the Paris fashion week. But I guess showbiz is showbiz and it would mess his hair 😂 In real life though, he would lose his fingers and simply freeze to death.

Best thing was when he got stung by a bee and that was not staged hahah

Do you expect that he doesn't have stuff out of his comfort zone? If those were wild horses they could have easily trampled either him or his crew.

im not gonna lie...that episode where he was in a swamp in season one, he came across only one single alligator in a supposed alligator infested swamp

I heard the part where he drank elephant dung juice was actually Starbucks tall.

Bear Grylls is gangsta until Hazen Audel shows up

I mean yes the situations are setup to show how you would survive, but the man has still climbed everest, paraglided around it, crossed the atlantic in an open top RIB, traveled the north west passage in a RIB and served in the military, cut the guy some slack

They'll find him tame horses but they'll let him go down a 90 foot hole with nothing but a vine tied to a rock. There are plenty of moments where he could've actually died

Damn. Imma stick to Survivorman.

Shut up looper. Bear gryls is awsome no matter what. Great tips and all.

Grylls would certainly do better than most when it comes to surviving in a wilderness. He's prepared to do anything, eat anything, and he's very fit. He's also ex military and conquered Everest. What he mostly is now though is a marketing machine. His TV shows are 100% self-promotion and full of "Look at how tough I am" moments. His advice is generally poor. Survival is about keeping healthy, and getting rescued. The moment you get injured, by trekking over hazardous terrain, your chances of survival take a nose-dive. Eating/Drinking something that gives you diarrhoea instantly means you will lose more energy/fluids than you took in. It's just crazy to advocate eating or drinking from dubious sources. He does it simply to show what a hero he is... to himself.

What are you saying bro ,he is doing a tough job in his shows for us not only to entertain to give informative thoughts and survivel skills, totally it's not fake , but in some situation borrow some animals to show us how to be alive when us come face to face an animal so don't think negatively, support these type of shows.

What about the running from a train?

He teaches survival techniques. It's obviously irrelevant if he is really facing those perils or not. The point is it is entertaining and informative.

At the start of the episode, does he not always say me and my camera crew?

Correct me if I'm wrong but don't they say in every episode that some scenes are fabricated? so they can give the viewers an idea what to do in a scenario like that.

Next time read the disclaimer before every Man Vs Wild Episode

some people seems to think that the camera float around him on its own....

Looper why you tryin slam my boi

I always knew beargrills was a rip off, looper give me a job

All of those "shams" were in season 1

I remember a episode were they was in a wild river bear almost didn't make it if film crew help him

I stopped watching that show when Bear was struggling to cross a river, the camera was set at the classic water level shot. When the camera dipped below the water it briefly revealed that the depth was about two feet.

This is why Survivorman is better

The purpose of the show was to demonstrate survival techniques. While being entertaining. At the start of each show,he admits that he is aide

The guy is a showman and that is all. If that is what you want then that's fine, but don't look to the guy for a real outdoors survivalist

You never had seen the Bear Grylls specials? What you are saying isn't something shocking or breaking, in the specials you can see the camera crew a meters of Grylls, even that he says that they should interfere, the crew admitted that they really help him sometimes, specially when the things that Grylls wanted to do something really dangerous, and even then Grylls really nearly kill himself doing stupid stunts that he camera crew didnt approve.

I realized long long time ago that the second a camera is in front of you reality does not exist. Period.

This dude really hates bear😂

It may sometimes be fake but he is till teaching the audience in an extremely entertaining way so I don't really care

A video about Bear Grylls,again?

And people shame people who watch anime grown men watching this and thinking it's real and not having maturity to admit it's fake

It is a TV show. Anyone can logically imagine that you cannot put a persons life in actual danger on public television. Honestly, all these reality shows are just for entertainment. If people want the real deal then they need to go do the time and train for it. If you enjoy the show, watch it and enjoy it. If you are jealous and miserable then quit your job and prove you are better and film with your own camera, no crew, no assistance - you get the idea. . .

His nose allowed him glide to safety

The real question is that "pee" or "apple juice"

I don't really consider these episodes uneducational because they are staged. In the end the shows purpose is to demonstrate correct procedures to take in case of a survival situation, and I bet many people learn a lot from it

There's behind the scene where he explains everything so this is no fraud show and Bear is a legit guy.

I guess entertainment matters more than if its real or fake

so the train was real???

Ray Mears called him a boy scout.Lofty Wiseman called him a clown.

I was expecting a 6 hour video since ALL of his stunts were fake

Is there any proof of this??

I don’t believe you I think you’re faking it

Now Ed Stafford he's real

The fact that he is assisted is a well known fact, it's mentioned in every opening of the episode that the crew assist him if needed.

Read the disclaimer in start of every episode, everything will be clear.

It should be known that not everything you see in a show is just how it is, there must be behind-the-scenes for the shows like this. Anyways, he did a lots of crazy stuff and showed many useful tips. Man vs. Wild was never really about the man trying to survive in the wild show, but *showing* the possible things you could do or try to do if you get in trouble, whether you fall into the cold water, quicksand, (etc.), which can be helpful even if you're not surviving in some random place in the wild, but having trouble in paradise while being in expedition or else. Also the show helps you learn how to make a raft, shelter, hunting weapon, traps or know some tactics in hunting. Survival guides... That's all very real and important, and some of the things is for entertainment. The show contains mixture of serious stuff and entertainment. Bear being in an Uncharted game, just running in the jungle and climbing, and on the other hand, teaching the viewers about survival, showing some valuable things. That's why it's fun to watch it.

Remember, Bear Grylls is Bear Grylls !!!

He was teaching people how to survive if they where in that situation as if. He's not risking his life for a freaking tv show

So it wasn't pee??

Its not supposed to be bloody real.its all demonstrated so that u can do the same while facing the same sort of situations

Its not about beeing real or not. The show is about showing the audience what to do in certain scenarios. So they fake scenarios instead of looking for them

its fun with the you vs wild, honestly, its an episode where he uses a wingsuit and you can clearly see its a stuntman of some sorts, the guy using it, doesnt have any scruff or a beard, woops he lands and there is bear grylls with a bear, sick growth
