@primitiveskills, still doesn’t mean you have to bad-mouth them. Bear has climbed Everest, along with a lot of things you haven’t. Having myself spent 14 years in the U.S. Army, I completed several survival courses and consider that I know my stuff. Bear and Les also train survival classes and although not as good as Mears, they still know their stuff. It shows weakness of character to bad-mouth others! Didn’t you mother ever tell you that when you have nothing good to say, don’t say anything?

As a former Marine Survival Instructor I can tell you you really don’t know your stuff. Having said that, & with 23 ys. supporting my fam w/ this, nor do I. Saying you “know something” means no room for learning. While I admire your loyalty to these 2, I question your eagerness to overlook the real & present harm done by misleading millions of viewers w/ innacurate survival techniques. It seems you would rather focus on “pleasantries” than dispelling the trash & learning what really works.

@primitiveskills, if you have been supporting your family with doing vids, I feel very sorry for you! I merely stated that you don’t need to bad-mouth other people; it shows weakness of character, something I guess the Marines didn’t teach you… p.s. I really do know my “stuff”, trust me.

@stopthesejets No, the vids are just instructional. The School is the Maine Primitive Skills School. You should come up some time. We do full survival trips every year. I’ll even let you bring a knife (though it would be cheating). If you know your stuff, I would be eager to learn from you. I’m still learning every day. Would love to share! Won’t be available in April, heading to the coast to work with some folks on survival skills for a couple of weeks. May would be great though.

Badmouthing someone is considered “black magic” by some cultures because of how hurtful it can be. The same goes for putting someone “on a pedastal.” It is a duty to point out someones weakness to help them improve, but tell THEM, not hold an argument in a public setting/forum. Keep in mind also that a lot of people “know their stuff” enough to survive, but that is different than primitive living. Safe journeys and Semper Fi.

I’m honestly glad you called out Les and Bear, watching their shows, I can spot many mistakes or wastes of energy and time. Bear more so then Les, mind you. Bear just overkills the situation and does way too much stupid and takes way too many risky actions. At least Les is more sensible. But anyway, good video, very informative. I do a lot of “Survival Camping” myself, going into the woods with the bare minimum for about a week. In fact, i’m going out tomorrow! I’ll be giving this a try!

@primitiveskills you should never ingest feaces of any animals it contains parasites and you could get dysentery you should boil all suspect water so if anyone listens to what bear gryls says they are dead but then whoever listens to that waste of life is a dumbass and deserves a tapeworm lol by the way having a knife with you is definitly not cheating
