Man vs Wild


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.

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...

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

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. :(

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)

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..

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.

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.
