Bear must be quite the author. I thumbed through another of his works at the public library -"Bear's Guide to Wilderness Survival" or something like that. I would have to say it was acceptable - not the best, but it contained nothing that was dreadfully wrong - decent, elementary survival advice. It was copiously illustrated with BG wearing a succession of high end parkas, gnawing on maggots and such.

As for skeptics like Bacpacjac, doubters of his mil cred, there were also pics of Our Hero in full SAS regalia. I rest my case.

There I did it! A post that is halfway nice to Bear Grylls. Surely I have earned my place in Heaven.
