Sounds like another episode I saw, where he got into a mine with a torch that he dipped in kerosene. He went deeper, downclimbed a shaft, _then_ his torch went out (and I thought, In real life, that would pretty much be 'game over') and he said how dangerous the whole thing was and he kept

I lost interest in this guy and his show when I repeatedly saw him doing things that were either unnecessary, dangerous, or just plain stupid. Then, fraud and hoaxes were introduced. Read below:

Read Bears disclaimer at the start of the show. Kinda kills the whole thing. Recently, he tried to trap a caribou, when he failed, the land steward provided one for him. He promptly lost most of the meat doing something foolish, like climbing down a frozen waterfall. He is a strong, well

Is this the guy that claims to be doing his own photography, sound, and all that? If so, I've seen a few bits of it and don't buy into it 100%. My guess is that he's never alone--always got somebody standing by to lend a hand, offer a suggestion, keep an eye on him to make sure he doesn't screw

That's him, Gill, but he does have an emergency radio with him. He also gets training in the local flora and other conditions in order to know the terrain and food sources available. Other than that, he's on his own. He's one tough dude and I admire what he does and how he does it. He's

Ok, so maybe Bear has some help. Maybe he spits out the zebra corpse and chases the taste away with big mac as soon as the shot is over. He might even get foot rubs every night and sleep on siberian goose down comforters with 1500 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets. Regardless, he's a badass on

No, he always says he has a camera crew. And He is a showman, as Gill says. But he also is an amazingly strong guy who cannot stand to not push himself. Look for the episode of him parasailing on Everest --- probably higher than any man had done that. Pretty amazing. Pretty dumb, too, if
