Bear Grylls Reviews More Survival Scenes From Movies & TV | Vanity Fair

[@chrissmith7572]

Bear grylls is the type of guy in horror movies that checks out the noise instead of running and survives.

[@sting6ph]

checking the noise and survives the attack

[@amberhoward7807]

He's all about surviving, so he's going to do what is the best chance of survival... if it's finding the threat then that's what he will do, if it's running, that's what he will do...

[@ricky5369]

@@amberhoward7807 yea I would say the opposite he would stay put because he's a survivalist

[@Thatgoodsniper]

Bear was in in the special forces for 10+ years. He climbed Mount Everest when he was 23 years old and had a life ending injury that he recovered from. The experience this guy has in various climates and conditions is unparalleled. Not only to know what to do, but to experience it physically can carry more than reading it off a book. Yes his show was so called staged, but his knowledge on what to do and when outweighs the average persons ability to survive.

[@AnAvacadoThanks4]

I feel like the fact that Misty cauterized it later should have also been included bc like yes, she cut it off but I think, in terms of the show and how long we know they were stuck, she saved his life.

Just one thing: amputation is required when the tissue is mush, or the bone shattered into small pieces. Else, the patient would die due blood loss or inflammation (not limited to the wound area). Also, as soon as you remove the weight the time is ticking...

[@Tazzie1312]

Compartment syndrome i also a concern

[@joaomarcosjunqueira4965]

she should have made a tourniquet before the amputation, I guess, and maybe cauterize it after?

[@sandpiperr]

He's going on the assumption that they'll be rescued, though. He doesn't know they end up stranded for a year and a half on the show. You are right that there's no way the coach would have made it if she hadn't amputated the leg, because unless he got to a hospital in a few days he'd have gone septic and died, and that's if he didn't lose so much blood he went into shock first! Of course, he also might have been able to get to a hospital in a few days if not for another action Misty took! And, in the real world, assuming that rescue is coming is the best way to care for someone in a wilderness first aid situation.

Thanks Bear. I'm a big fan. I was once caught in a beach rip current. They tell you not to panic and I've always thought "Yeh, of course. That's common sense". But as I was being pulled out to sea, I realised that panic is exactly what you feel and it was creeping up on me. I no longer judge anyone in those situations. 😉 I clearly got out of it. Had a very strong friend with me who was only partly caught and we sort of human-chained it out (yes, didn't even follow the "how to get out of a rip current" advice).

[@matt2774069]

That's crazy. I was in the exact same situation and i didnt know what a rip current was back then. The panic when the floor disappears and salt water constantly gushing into my mouth everytime I tried to get some air to breathe was traumatising.

[@m.lhenderson5885]

I was caught in one at eight years old with my brother and no one on the beach except a strange surfer guy just treading water way out in the deep, and he dragged me back in, my brother made his own way out somehow.

[@joaomarcosjunqueira4965]

I got caught in one too, and I'm a very anxious person, I always tought I'd panic in a situation like this, but I could remain surprisingly calm. I was way pass the waves breaking line, so the water was calm, and I float really well, so I was able to breath properly, therefore, I could remember to swim aside and made it back just a bit tired.

[@joeg5023]

The thing that irks me the most when it comes to people hating on Bear or saying he's not as good as the other guy is that they have two completely different shows that just happen to be set in the same kind of place. Bear's show is about escaping brutal conditions if you have no chance of rescue. The other show (sorry, I can't remember his name or the shows name) was about staying put and surviving until someone rescued you. Both are important and educational, but each serves a different purpose.

[@XusernamegoeshereX]

I don't remember them ever claiming he was going to be camped out in the wild the entire time. It was not the same kind of show as Survivorman.

I don't care if anyone says his shoes are staged, this man really knows what he's talking about. Think of the countless hours and probably years he's been learning about stuff like this. He's very intelligent and educated in survival and natural disasters. Plus, if everything he did in every show was 100% real, he may lose his life or risk serious injury and then he can't educate more people and/or do what he loves

[@leoarc1061]

So you believe his shows are educational. Running though a lava field, jumping over boulders and drinking urine is not educational. It's stupidly dangerous. About staging survival situations, there are appropriate ways of doing it. Les Stroud has been doing it for decades. Ray Mears been doing it for decades! It can be done.

[@rosed3535]

some of his advices in his shows were actually recognized as bad advices that nobody should follow, it’s either bad options or not the best most efficient ways to get out of situations. him spreading misinformation to such a big audience is so dangerous. now it’s not to say he’s not educated or skilled cause he is and he did also give some great advices and educated people, but there was times where his advices weren’t the best to spread at all

Yeah, probably even if he'd promptly got to a hospital with a trauma team, they might not have been able to save the leg. And, given that they end up in the wilderness without access to medical care for 19 months, he'd definitely have died in just a few days if she hadn't cut it off. However, she's also the reason they ended up there for so long...

I was caught in a ripe current for like 15 minutes a couple years ago. I dove under a wave, next thing I knew I couldn’t touch the bottom anymore and turned around and I was like 80 yards off the break! I swam along the beach both ways but didn’t move an inch. I had to just float on my back and yell for help. Finally I spit in the water, saw it slightly drift one direction, and followed it out. As I finally hit sand again a helicopter came flying over me.

Same happened when I sliced the top of my middle toe I thought it was just a stubbing till I saw the blood, and the tip of my bone was sliced too. I found it useful that you do first aid, but it's good to update, because techniques get better. It good to know how to survive, as there are lot's of wild food's we have that we don't learn about anymore. My granddaughter has join the scouts, she loves animals and the outdoors.

[@lucal2067]

regarding the Yellowjacket scene I would say that while they should have restricted the blood flow before and not after cutting the leg wasn't such a bad decision. In most cases stabilize would be a priority but for the brief second we see the leg it seams completely smashed, even when you are close to an hospital if a limb is totally destroyed, bones crushed, muscles teared, keeping it attached does more harm then good, first it could cause a crash syndrome that would likely be fatal without medical intervention, second it would 100% get infected. So if there is any structural integrity preserving the leg could be better but if it's minced meat loosely attached cutting the leg was the best option. While usually misty is pretty unhinged she seems to have decent medical knowledge and probably made a calculated choice, the rush was more to avoid pain than an irrational decision

[@danti2563]

[@nicolina1026]

There was nothing to stabilize on coaches leg, it's a quick shot but it was being held on by shreds of skin and muscle and was already amputated. She didn't chop the bone, she chopped the shreds holding it on. The leg *stretched* when they pulled the plane wing back. 🤢 No hospital could have saved or reattached that. It was like jelly. Definitely an incomplete assessment, either they didn't show him the full clip or he didn't take a proper look. He had an equal chance of sepsis if she had left the lower hanging on by a thread part of his leg attached. Maybe more so. The cauterization with the axe, while the right idea, was not the best tool. Metal sticks to skin when hot and can melt it. Cauterizing with wood is safer. The scene in the Revenant I think is more unrealistic as fire on your neck like that could trigger a vagal response strong enough to stop your heart when your body is already under so much stress.
