I totally agree that Bear gets a bad rap. I think he's pretty entertaining, & seems to know what he's doing. It's easy to sit at a computer and second guess the guy; I'd like to see them try to survive with just a knife & canteen. Sure lots of us (me included) wouldn't do half the stuff he does e.g.: eating rotting zebra flesh, eating a live fish...amongst other things. But hey, if I could do those things & get paid for it, I’d do them too.
