Mears no way Jose, its ya man Bear he can do everything Mears can do on the survival side plus he's got special forces experience that Mears has'nt ...hands down winner Bears the man

 

[crabtastic]

Bear Grylls every time- he can navigate you to the nearest 5* holiday resort in time for happy hour in short order.

No way Mears, a lardy ginger with a touch of the gwar about him.

If there's a Hilton nearby with a makeup artist with faux-dirt then Bear would pull it out the bag.
Otherwise I'd have to go with Ray.

Mears would win- he'd eat Grylls

Mears does have the "survival physique" which when all things are considered is what will carry you through.

Neither are a patch on Les Hiddins or 'our Lofty'.

 

[warrior8234mkIIIA2]

forgot about lofty,£100 on him please ,after all he did write the original survival bible

My money is on bear, I have seen him eat some nasty things. Mears seems to spend all his time making Canoes and stuff, probably expends more calories than the value, but then he does look a bit chunky. Maybe he stores up before he films the edpisodes

 

[mon_colonel]

Was'nt it called " Staying alive with Lofty Large" I used to be sat infront of the telly after school with me beans on toast waiting for him to come on...what a guy ...yep he if got involved it'd be

1. Lofty Large
2. Bear Grylls

3. Ray fatty Mears

No doubt abaout it

 

[blobmeister]

Mears teaches on the 'them' course. It's Mears all the way

 

[mandown]

yup, mears takes it for me too.

 

[warrior8234mkIIIA2]

Grylls needs a bigger knife

 

[cromach]

If you did find yourself in trouble and having to survive, it'd be a whole lot more "luxurious" with Ray Mears there with you making the shelter and doing the cooking - it'd only be Bear if you didn't care what you ate!

Mears would build a 5 star hotel out of some twigs and pocket fluff and be charging Bear £300 per night to stay there until the rescue party turns up.
Plus Mears knows where the pie tree grows.

Lofty Wiseman is the survival guru

 

[tiger stacker]

hmmmmn lofty would win hands down but as its between ray and bear would have to say ray hands down after all who else sucks the gum out of trees

 

[Pitswamper]

Les Hiddins seconded, walks around in the Ozzie bush with a hoofin' girt Mess Webley in case the 'natives get restless' gathering 'Bush Tucker' and spinning yarns about Colonial explorers getting lost and ending up in the Aboriginal Hot Pot.
Ex OZ Army Major created the Australian Armies bush survival course. NAILS.

[warrior8234mkIIIA2]

i saw a programme once where Ray taught some old ancient tribe how to light fires with sticks again because they had used to using lighters and matches and had forgotten the skills.Bear jumps into sh1t pits and frozen lakes !!!!!

 

[Bruce6Scots]
