Yeah he finished filming episode 1 of season 2. I hope he can make it through the season without dying.

He will, of course.

3/9/2007 2:01:10 PM

The other guy makes me wet though.

3/9/2007 2:07:14 PM

gunzz is down with that survivorman shit

3/9/2007 2:07:29 PM

haha, i just watched this clown in the swamps of georgia. what a shitty fucking raft he made. this guy sucks. watch man v. wild alps episode and try to tell me that bear isn't a bigger badass. gtfo

oh, and riverboat charlie just "happened" to find him.



[Edited on March 12, 2007 at 10:39 PM. Reason : he's canadian for chrissakes]

3/12/2007 10:37:33 PM

thats what happens when you don't have a crew that can setup all your shots for you and make everything go perfect each time. if they both got stranded together les would eat bear and make his skin into a hot air balloon to fly out on

3/12/2007 10:40:09 PM

ha, did you see that raft??

oh, and what kind of survival expert brings a lighter with them?




- oh yeah, he just happened to become a 'survivor expert' when his music career failed... um yeah Bear was in the special forces. i dont even see how this is an argument.

[Edited on March 12, 2007 at 10:43 PM. Reason : i win]

I WIN... FUCKER

3/12/2007 11:05:16 PM

Sorry, but no.

3/12/2007 11:17:55 PM

Les vidoes himself.

3/13/2007 12:15:43 AM

nope, bear is better. i win.

3/13/2007 11:17:36 AM

i dont care who has the better credentials, Survivorman is a much much more impressive show.

3/13/2007 2:34:39 PM

survivorman is so much better

Bear might win in a fistfight, but if I could only have one of 'em with me on a deserted island, I'd take Les, hands down

3/13/2007 10:09:48 PM

I've never seen les drink Elephant dung, therefore he wins.

3/13/2007 11:13:02 PM

Bear is the better survivalist it would seem, but Survivorman is much much better to watch

3/13/2007 11:37:09 PM

I don't think bear is necessarily better. If it comes to the point where you have to drink elephant dung, or bite in to a live salmon, you've failed in your survival techniques, those are acts of desperation.

3/13/2007 11:54:59 PM

Survivorman is much better I mean have you seen the one where he puts himself out to sea of the time where he almost freezes to death out in the Colorado mountains??? sorry bear but this guy i much better

granted that Bear is a bad ass dude and i wouldnt fight him but again
if i were stranded somewhere with only one person...i would want that person to be les

3/14/2007 10:03:49 AM

Les Stroud, FTW!

3/14/2007 5:42:21 PM

i love this show so much

4/6/2007 12:42:17 AM

Survivorman ate a motherfuckin' SNAKE in the swamp
But Man Vs Wild ate raw zebra meat in the African plain

I'm down to watch either show anytime, though I like Survivorman more

4/6/2007 2:56:31 PM

yeah but survivorman doesnt even try to get himself out of those shitty situations, he just sits and waits for someone to come pick him up. bear always finds a way out.

4/6/2007 8:39:11 PM

BEAR FTW


His name is bear.....duuuuhh

4/6/2007 8:44:29 PM

4/7/2007 10:45:00 AM

I see I can't persuade you, I will leave you to your survivorman, I'm xing out of this thread.

4/9/2007 10:25:30 PM

New episode on now

1/1/2014 9:50:41 PM

Thanks for the reminder. I knew there were going to be new episodes but forgot to set the DVR. I'll pick this one up at midnight.

1/1/2014 10:21:09 PM

Anyone watching Alone on amazon/Hulu from history channel? Multiple participants filming themselves.

7/5/2020 9:00:36 PM

Yeah, we’ve been running through them. Started with the one on Netflix (6th season I think?), then went back and started from season one. Just finished 3 tonight. Unfortunately so far it seems we started with the best one. The others, while still ok, haven’t enjoyed as much.

7/5/2020 9:35:58 PM

This thread makes me want to watch Man vs Wild

7/5/2020 9:41:00 PM

survivorman was the best.

7/6/2020 9:25:19 AM

I've binged Seasons 1,2 and 6 of Alone. Really like the show and its concept. The teams on season 3 doesnt appeal to me as much.

6 has been my favorite season so far...

SPOILER
_________

Really thought Winonya was going to win 6 and be the first woman winner...they have it a lot tougher than the men in regards to BMI and other health related issues

END SPOILER

It kinda surprises me how basically everyone on the show starves. none of these people would survive long term, and they're highly skilled hunters and survivalists.

It really shows how necessary it is for humans to cooperate and have division of labor, and how it requires some type of farming to provide us with enough calories to thrive. You can see too how an anatomically modern human would not be able to utilize their full cognitive capabilities without these luxuries.

7/8/2020 4:09:45 PM

^well I think on something like "Alone" they have to generally stay in one area. Most people would just continue to move if they ran out of food sources. In season 6 several of them complained about running out of stuff to catch in their area. Plus the guy who won said they drop you off with 100+lbs of camera gear, so its not easy to travel much. That guy for sure could have continued for a long time.

7/8/2020 10:44:46 PM

i just watched the man vs wild where bear just bites into a salmon straight out of the river.

If you ever watch Naked and Afraid, it is the exact same on that, especially on the XL version. The XL version is usually the more successful of the people on the regular show and they barely squeeze by 40 days eating things like snails and the occasional fish or snake that they catch. Even that is people who have studied wilderness survival for years.

7/9/2020 10:29:16 AM

Look up "Primitive Technology" channel on Youtube. That guy is the real survivorman.

7/14/2020 2:41:49 PM

We started watching Season 6 of Alone last night.





Spoilers:








I totally thought Donny was going to dominate. The guy had a completely insulated bear den complete with a firepit only to cook a muskrat and give himself dysentary 12 hours later.
