Discovery Channel's Man vs Wild

Bear cuts a paraglider and turns it into a kite - foil on two line.

and the coolest part is he water relaunches a open cell.

check it out

From what I can tell for those wondering, it's in Season 6, Episode 10. Discovery.com doesn't have full episodes, but if you want to see the clip, that's the show to look for. Personally I'm a Les Stroud kinda guy...

After some searching, I couldn't find a place to watch it online, so I bought it for $2 in the iTunes store.

cheezycheese - 27-3-2010 at 03:10 PM

I'm a Les fan also. Watch all his over and over, LOL

Bear does some real crazy things. I like to watch him just to see what he's going to do next.

I'll have to try and find this one.

The whole episode is on youtube in 5 segments. This is the first, I'm sure you all can find the rest.

Edit: looks like they only have thru part 3, but that will include the kite part

WIllardTheGrey - 27-3-2010 at 11:05 PM

Kite parts 6:50-end and beginning of second clip-1:00


cjules - 28-3-2010 at 02:40 PM

damnit. i know i should have checked youtube first.

I preffer Les as well. He is out there all alone with a few peanuts and a bag of camera gear. Bear has a whole crew to make sure he's ok.
But I haven't seen either in years. Sometimes I do miss tv a little. :(

cheezycheese - 29-3-2010 at 04:49 AM

why no tv Roc...?

rocfighter - 29-3-2010 at 05:17 AM

We live in a deep vally and no reception. And I'm not paying to watch TV!! cable was good in the begining no commercials. But now it's worse than ever. They charge the advertizers tons of money. And then charge the viewer a lot too. Like a condo, you pay the morgage on it and still pay rent. ( ok we have one of those but we rent it out)

erratic winds - 29-3-2010 at 04:29 PM

first episode I ever saw of bear grylls was when he was going down whitewater, and I said to myself-"he's wearing a life jacket WTF!!"

I prefer les, but this is 2x now bear has done the kite thing. He also did it across a frozen lake with a parachute..

Hardrock - 29-3-2010 at 05:49 PM

Last time I watched Bear, he caught a skunk, ate it. Killed a rattle snake, ate it. Filled the snake skin up with his whiz, and drank it.

Ugggggg.

wannabekiter - 29-3-2010 at 06:23 PM

my favorite is when he sleeps in a deer carcass.

rocfighter - 29-3-2010 at 06:39 PM

WOW I miss so much cool stuff!!

Hardrock - 29-3-2010 at 06:42 PM

I seriously hope you are joking. It would be a shame if that was a real post.

Never mind he hit 667

over the big pond we get him on tv also.

Watched last nights episode in Africa during monsoon, hardest part was watching him eat a leopard leftover which was an antelope leg, with thousands of flies buzzing around, the stench would have outlasted religion. Had to walk away when he took his first bite.

Good to know you're not joking. Scary mother#@%$#!er
