If you like Bear Grylls, also check out this guy... hes is from Canada, and the shows are similar...it is called "Survivor Man."
thank you.
in China, the government has denied some popular platforms like Facebook and You tube. etc.
But i can get around of that .
They sell that at Walmart. Too bad it doesn't make you any more Bear Gryll-ish or I'd buy a box of them.
Frankly, it is a high quality EDC pocket knife, do you know the price in Walmart ?
thank you
Bear uses a better knife than that. I've seen him cut trees down with it.
Bear Grylls Knife Specifications:
Its around $700 USD. That must be a fake or cheapo version
They're $20 CDN here.
It's around $15 usd at walmart. They have really good prices.
It's marketing thing w/ gerber so they have a whole collection including this manly thing:
Bear Grylls has a custom made bushcrafting knife that he uses on his shows. He also has a branding deal with Gerber for a line of knives and multitools that he would never, ever, ever, ever, ever, EVER under any circumstances use, but he's more than happy to slap his name on for enough money.
What's funny is that if you ever dig up a retail package for one of these knives, the picture of Bear Grylls on the front actually has him holding his custom bushcrafting knife, not any of the Gerbers (and there are like... 5 I think in the line?)
Man, the comments on that Ultimate knife at amazon are ridiculous. It's literally people typing on their computer in suburbia complaining how their untarnished knife won't cut it if civilization fell.
If you own more than a few knives it's basically like lady's handbags or shoes. It doesn't matter if you spoil the edge on one because that's why you got the other few dozen.
I'd pay $15 for that knife. On second thought. Probably not
Not to TC, but I wasnt at all impressed when I held one of these (or any other entry level Gerber knives for that matter). SRM/Sanrenmu/Bee have a far superior build quality and are less expensive.
Bear Grylls association with Gerber is like putting Michael Schumachers name on a base model Hyundai and calling it a competition ready F1 car (I take offense to it
).
But I do just love that trendy orange on black color scheme and how it screams out, "Look at me. Im so pretty and different!" Has anyone ever seen a respected outdoors survivalist carry a half-serrated blade folder... ever?
I've lived in a place with no infrastructure at all. We had electricity (for 4 hours a night) for three nights in two years. I taught chemistry and had to make pretty much all the equipment I needed. I am not very good at glass blowing but had to learn. Over a charcoal fire. I have soldered stuff over a charcoal fire. And am not in a hurry to have to do that again.
And in all that time, the only knife I owned was made from filing down a broken suspension spring from a Land Rover.
I cut up food, killed snakes, cleaned my fingernails with it. I still open letters with it (I last sharpened it in 1985)
What am I prepared to pay extra for a branded knife? Not a single cent.
Im impressed. Where was this Don? Perhaps you should write a book.
Because youre serious, and walk the walk. Thats honest and genuine living.
Half the worlds population never made a phone call, and lives on less than 1USD per day...vs people spending 1000s of USD in the name of fancy survival knives they will never use other than to post pictures of on the internet...give me a break.
Anyway, thanks for sharing a little bit about your story there, if you'd like to write more Im sure we would all be interested.
+1... Id love to hear more.
That must have taken forever to file it down to knife size. How big/long was it? What did you use for a handle? I'd love to see a pic of it.
What don't you know how to do?
Don is like the MacGyver of BLF.
I have a lot of pictures of a rather blurred assistant's nose. I have few good pics of her as she keeps coming up to the camera to see what I'm doing. The black shadow on the top left is her nose.
I'm not responsible for the woodwork by the way - I originally stuck the blade in a stick cut from one of the trees around the house. The blade is about 175mm long.
Actually, the preferred method of snake destruction was to send for Mubita, one of my pupils, who wasn't very good at chemistry but was very, very good at despatching venomous snakes.
The place was called Sefula - about 15km from Mongu, the provincial capital of Western Province, Zambia. This picture dates from almost exactly 26 years ago (It would have been around July 4th). In the background behind me are the science classrooms. I was thinner then (About 45kg then - a very large amount more now) and had hair.
I loved the comment from a very senior official in the National Tourist Board to my parents, "What do you want to go to Mongu for? Nobody wants to go to Mongu."
Guys, I beg you, please don't buy Bear Grylls' stuff by Gerber. It sucks hard, especially the fixed blade. Get a snarenmu or spyderco tenacious.
