Starting a thread on this board only because Discovery HD is readily available. Season starts 11/9. Grylls is sure to get himself in some more tight spots, supposedly the locales are pretty cool this year too.

i saw one of the episodes on discovery HD...looks like upconverted SD to me.
This is the problem with discovery..they're showing upconverted SD and HD both in 16:9 and they don't tell you which is which. The PQ isn't up to snuff on most of their shows.

I don't know if anyone has noticed, but all the reruns on Discovery have been edited from their original broadcast. Instead of Bear saying he makes all these gadgets, sleeping areas, shelters, etc quickly, the edited version says the crew helped him. Regardless, I still watch the show for entertainment purposes.

I figured that out when I watched the episode when he was in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Since that's my backyard, I knew he was full of it when he claimed to hike from the mountain he was dropped off to the chaparral (foothill) region. The wild horse scene was a dead give away that the show was b.s. There are no wild horses in the central Sierra's.

The audience is NOT stupid - whatever many producers cynically think (and British producers are just as guilty as any others - and in the "reality genre" they could be worse...) - and I think most of us would find entertainment and information value in the stuff Bear actually does in the locations he does them, even if it weren't set-up with the ridiculous "He's on his own, miles from anywhere and doing everything himself and could die at any moment" premise they framed it in.

There were no disclaimers during the piss drinking scene, so I'm assuming that wasn't Mountain Dew.

Ray Mears does a far better job imparting real survival tips and bushcraft knowledge. It's unfortunate that eating big slugs for no reason and being photogenic is more appealing to producers.

AS long as he makes his own fire and drinks his own piss I will watch him.

Always fascinating how a common language separates us.
Us Brits would say "I couldN'T care less where he sleeps at night"!
