haha my kids eat anything i serve em up now after watching the last few episodes

the guy is a legend

anyone who can catch a pidgen with his shoelaces ,peel it like a bannana then cook it on a stick... is well kinda bent

as for diving in a icy river then warming up in a thermal spring, eating moss, sleeping in snow caves, tops it off by pulling out of his pocket a piece of dead sheep fat to make a torch {lit by a flint} to go through lava tunnel/cave, tops it off by chewing roots from some plant for a snack whilst avoiding quicksand on his walk home.....
check it out sbs every monday

From another post...

Chuck Norris once visited the Virgin Islands. They are now The Islands.
Chuck Norris' calendar goes straight from March 31st to April 2nd; no one fools Chuck Norris.
Leading hand sanitizers claim they can kill 99.9 percent of germs. Chuck Norris can kill 100 percent of whatever the **** he wants.
Chuck Norris counted to infinity - twice.
Chuck Norris' tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried.
Chuck Norris was originally cast as the main character in 24, but was replaced by the producers when he managed to kill every terrorist and save the day in 12 minutes and 37 seconds.
Some kids piss their name in the snow. Chuck Norris can piss his name into concrete.
Once, while having sex in a tractor-trailer, part of Chuck Norris' sperm escaped and got into the engine. We now know this truck as Optimus Prime.
Chuck Norris can speak braille.
Chuck Norris died ten years ago, but the Grim Reaper can't get up the courage to tell him.
Superman owns a pair of Chuck Norris pajamas.
Chuck Norris puts the "laughter" in "manslaughter".
Chuck Norris owns the greatest Poker Face of all-time. It helped him win the 1983 World Series of Poker despite him holding just a Joker, a Get out of Jail Free Monopoly card, a 2 of clubs, 7 of spades and a green #4 card from the game Uno.
Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits.
Chuck Norris can slam revolving doors.
Chuck Norris doesn't pop his collar, his shirts just get erections when they touch his body.
Chuck Norris was once on Celebrity Wheel of Fortune and was the first to spin. The next 29 minutes of the show consisted of everyone standing around awkwardly, waiting for the wheel to stop.
Chuck Norris sleeps with a night light. Not because Chuck Norris is afraid of the dark, but the dark is afraid of Chuck Norris
Chuck Norris does not hunt because the word hunting implies the possibility of failure. Chuck Norris goes killing.
Chuck Norris doesn't read books. He stares them down until he gets the information he wants.
Once a cobra bit Chuck Norris' leg. After five days of excruciating pain, the cobra died.
Chuck Norris is not hung like a horse... horses are hung like Chuck Norris
When Chuck Norris gives you the finger, he's telling you how many seconds you have left to live.
Chuck Norris doesn't have hair on his testicles, because hair does not grow on steel.
If you play Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" backwards, you will hear Chuck Norris banging your sister.
Chuck Norris' dog is trained to pick up his own poop because Chuck Norris will not take **** from anyone.
Giraffes were created when Chuck Norris uppercutted a horse.

Chuck Norris ...


I haven't been laughing like this for long time.
It's not good for my reputation in the office.

Like all TV there is a bit of reality and a LOT of staging.

If the situations Bear gets himself into (i.e. on a cliff face) are so kn tuff, how come the cameraman with all his gear can get there in the shotgun posi too?

Interesting all the same - you just have to accept he probably does 4-5 takes of each 'spontanious' action and go with the flo.

His constantly psyched narration sh!ts me though.

i watched the show at mates place last week and that was my point exactly...

he carries on about how skilled he is and how dangerous the things he's doing are and how close to the edge of certain death he is ... all the while the while he's being followed by some guy doing exactly the same thing only with 20kgs of camera gear on his shoulders. so essentially, the camera man is twice as hard a cant as this Bear guy, cause he's doin it all one handed with no depth perception cause he's looking out one eye....

after pointing this out to my mates... they asked me to leave.. (happens quite a bit, t.v is for stupid people anyway)

^^^ No - not complete boolsheet, just a little. OK maybe a little more than a little. At least Bear knows what he is talking about though. Mangels was a scammer and BS artist.

Doc makes a valid point though. My mates are the same Doc. Ignorance is bliss (apparently).

It does say that he is being aided at the start of each show.
he does need to remember that you suck the goodness out of an eyeball.
but he was right about drinking your urine whilst it is fresh, why waste all those good minerals and salts.
Having had to do it once , I can tell you it tastes better than Crownies

While on topic...whatever happenned to Troy Dan? I remember that if he ever got in trouble, he'd do the ol' "I'll have to take my shirt off!"

Watched an episode where his dog took off chasing a wild boar, it ended up dying from exhaustion, he was in tears (which reminded me of the Alby Mangel 'throw dog overboard' skit)...the only prob with the was the cameraman was following the dog the whole time...?!?
