Who cares if the show isn't 100% accurate?? The fact of the matter is that he is *capable* of doing anything that we might see him doing. Any man who can successfully climb Everest gets a whole lot of respect in my book. The fact that he was only 23 at the time makes his accomplishment even more noteworthy.

Yup....his credentials say it all....eh ???
He must be one tough cookie to even make it into SAS.

ANY SF soldier, or ranger, or many regular grunts could do anything on that show, and do it without spending the night in a comfy hotel room. In fact, most have done it.

I guess I set the bar of reality a little too high.

The first (and only) time I was caught sleeping on guard duty my squad leader took corrective action. A Buttstroke to the helmet at 0 dark 30 will certainly provide a learning experience one never forgets.

Well... to be honest....

Anyone who has a parachuting accident and breaks his back in three places and recovers to be able to DO any of this stuff gets bonus points in my books. How many have done that?

And while maybe anyone with the training can do what he does on the show.... MANY MANY MANY people that get stuck in those situations do NOT have the training. That is the point of the show.... to show the untrained that get lost and stuck out in the middle of these conditions how they can survive. To show that if you really have the will to survive.... ANYONE CAN do it. He's not trying to show that survival is out of reach.... instead he is trying to show that anyone can do it with just a little knowledge.

Yeah....I think a lot of people could learn from that guy. I remember once hearing about a lady who put her trousers on back to front and then almost went to work that day........I mean....sheesh....who would do a thing like that ??? I think that person needs to watch Grylls more than anyone !!!!!

HAH !!! I bet that had the old eardrums ringing for a while !!!!!
The only time I was caught, I missed out on the next weekends leave with my girlfriend....I had to do Sat / Sun.

I bet the light show was pretty startling

I guess he could avoid all the bad publicity by staying at home?
Or not getting on the helicopter?
