Haven't seen this one, but it's awesome how he escapes all these situations.

Eh...the only problem I have with the show is how the camera man get around and stuff..

The camera is usually following him.. and rarely, if ever, lead the way. But for all we know the camera guy is also an uber survivalist expert.

Good, I'm not the only Rager that watches this show. I watched a few episodes one night and now I can't get enough of it.

ETA: I keep thinking that "Rager" says "Roger".

The british version is a top show. Bear is a total legend. Getting water out of dung and that sort of thing.

Aye, he is. In an episode of this show he's up in some snowy mountaintops. He talked about how people step on snow that's only a few inches thick, covering a giant, deep cavern in the mountain. So he made this rope thing, I believe and tied knots in it, so when you fall the knots catch on the ledges and stop your from falling.

Well, in the episode he never gets to use it so at the end he just jumps off a freakin' cliff and it catches him. Point proven but INSANE.

Can't remember. I didn't catch the full episode. Wouldn't surprise me if he did do that.

Found it. Only a man purposely throws themself into a frozen lake, gets back out, strips naked, rubs themself with snow and does some press ups.

I can't imagine the shrinkage he got from that.

But I laughed when he started doing push ups.
