DJL 232 #1 June 23, 2009 I knew it was a matter of time before we saw something like this. And I can't believe that all the news sources are saying that the show HELPED? him survive. Since the show (Suvivorman is also guilty of this) always shows the actor blazing across the wilderness the kid did exactly that. Along the way he admits that he was in a state of panic; he shredded his rain jacket as he hiked through the downpour, he lost his backpack, he followed a stream instead of staying put. I'm surprised he didn't follow some more of the jack-ass stunts and get himself killed. http://www.deseretnews.com/article/705312010/Lost-boy-uses-TV-show-to-survive.html"I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DJL 232 #3 June 23, 2009 QuoteAll that matters is he survived, everything else is just Monday morning quarterbacking. Actually, everyone was saying this on Friday...of last year. Do a search even on THIS site and you'll see long lists of how that show teaches all the wrong things. It was just a matter of time not just that something like this happened but that the bad advice could be directly linked to that show."I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beerlight 0 #5 June 23, 2009 Yep, although I like watching Bear for the entertainment value, he does demo some stupid shit with regards to survival. Everything he does is more "combat survival" than anything else..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SARLDO 0 #9 June 23, 2009 At least the kid didn't hide from his rescuers like some tend to do Teach your kids to hug a tree (stay put) and make some noise when lost folks. Pretty much gaurantee they'll be found quick and within a mile of where they were last seen (unless there's foul play ). Oh, and also teach them not to believe everything they see on T.V.

DJL 232 #10 June 23, 2009 QuoteDo you blame computer games for violence too? If a kid says, "I choked the hooker because I thought it would make me stronger." then I'll at least wonder what the fuck is going on in that house. This is educational programming that presents itself as the "what to do" in survival situations. I'm not asking for Nanny TV, just that if someone says that they're an expert that they as least say what you're REALLY supposed to do. But, hugging a tree and blowing a whistle for 45 minutes doesn't make for good TV.

JohnRich 4 #14 June 23, 2009 I don't blame the TV. I blame Mom:"Grayson's mother, Kimberly Wynne, said her son had been hiking back to the family's camper with a cousin when he fell behind and strayed onto a different trail. When family members noticed Grayson was missing, they began a search"If her son was out of sight and sound for so long that she didn't notice him missing until too late, then she's negligent. Keep track of your kids! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtnesbitt 0 #15 June 23, 2009 I dont blame the TV show, as it's entertainment and thats what it needs to be taken for. However Bear is an absolute idiot. He wouldnt do half the stuff he does if he didnt have his crew with him or rescue chopper. Has anyone noticed this guy isnt capable of slowly decending? He runs/falls/hurdles down every hill and mountain he comes across. One episode he did it with a pilot chute trailing behind him! What an idiot!
