Survivorman calling it quits
Such disappointing news
The trail was here before we arrived, and it will still be here when we are gone...enjoy it now, and preserve it for others that come after us
Bummer!
Yeah, he is so much more real than that other dude Bear Grylls. I like them both. In fact I really liked Survivorman that was on last night. He went out for a day hike in the Sierra Nevada (like 30 or 40 miles if it were you guys Phreak and Egads) and simulated getting lost. Good info if you hike in that area.
B.G. did the big E...
gee, I just watched another re-run today in fact. I was hoping something will stick if I watch it enough, lol. I'll miss him for SURE. But I understand ... it's rough on the insides of a body and him being a family man has more to be concerned with than only himself. I'll keep watching the old shows though as I pick up interesting things all the time. I liked that he would try stuff he'd heard of but not tried ... and try it live on TV. Didn't always work, but he tried anyway and had backup ways of doing things which is cool.
Drat. We really loved the guy. We watch Bear Grylls but knowing how he goes to hotels and always has a camera man and all along takes a lot away from it. Plus he just gets way too melodramatic.
"All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us."
This is definitely disappointing news, but hell, if he does as the article says and follows the tracks of the original trail blazers, that'll be cool too.
this sucks

dudes hardcore to the bone!
Bummer! I know many people have beat up on Survivorman and the other Bear dude with the accent...however, I've always found them both entertaining plus I usually learn something new each episode. I guess it will just be the Bear dude who survives.
I like that idea as well. It's dissappointing but at least we get one last season. I'm downloading the Sierra Nevadas episode right now...can't wait to watch it.Originally Posted by strates
And really, how many more situations can he put himself in before they start to get redundant. 3 seasons was a great run for him. Let's see him go and do Everest, THAT would be great.

...anyone got The Science/Discovery channels home phone number?
Sad!
I watch Les to learn
I watch Bear hoping to see serious bodily injury
Curse you Perry the Platypus!
Just watched that Sierra Nevadas episode. I thought he gave a lot of really good advice with regards to search and rescue operations. Cant believe he left the tent behind though, crazy SOB
Ditto. Like when he makes vine harnesses and scales a 60 foot waterfall. Could have been the last episodeSad!

Damn. Just as season 3 starts he calls it quits. I can't stomach Man vs "Wild".
I watch man vs wild for the entertainment value, like maybe he'll snap one of these vine ropes he is using to climb up this 100' ravine right now.
This stinks. I agree Man vs. Wild is pretty staged. One of my favorite episodes in Survivorman is the Boreal Forest in Ontario in Autumn. It was just on today actually. It sort of reminds me of the AT in Maine.
Sad news but you have to understand his decision.
Completely understandable decision. Who wants to take a week of starving themselves too many times?
Favorite episode was the plane crash scenario...boy he looked cold
