  • I love Bear Grylls in Man vs. Wild... as entertainment. How accurate is his information when it comes to medicine and health though? I decided to look back at some of Bear’s more jarring moments over the years and see whether he is spreading useful tips or misinformation. We took a look at a ton of “interesting” stuff today, such as Bear drinking urine, drinking liquids from all sorts of animals, natural sunscreen, bee stings, anaphylactic shock, eating bugs, swimming in a frozen lake, eating placenta with Shaq, fighting jellyfish with Mel B from Spice Girls, and so much more. Let me know if there are any Bear moments I missed you’d like me to react to in the future!

      @eleanorcooke7136 Před rokem +99

      @@Tweethk I would not. It's fairly common knowledge that drinking your own urine is a bad idea. So is drinking any fluid that is not clean. If you need to survive for a long time, you need to focus on keeping yourself in a healthy condition. Drinking any fluid with a high potential for bacterial growth will get you sick and ultimately decrease your chance of survival. The only way you should drink your own urine is if you had a purifier set up to extract the water from the harmful waste and bacteria. If you get diarrhea from drinking urine (which is totally possible), not only have you ingested something that will dehydrate you more, the diarrhea could kill you as it causes huge fluid loss.
      Maybe I would trust Grylls in a survival situation but he's never allowed to sort out the water situation.

A lot of scenes staged and Built by his consultants like nick vroomans etc like when he drink elephant poop it was fake, when he killed a snake it was a snake already killed by Vroomans and given to him. When he was in the vulcano area, it was not lava but staged With charcoal and fire and smoke vaporizers. Search it on internet, the same consultants, vroomans, say that of him and more.

      Why he prefaces "in a survival situation" So you wouldnt do anything he does unless any one of these things would give you an extra 6-12 hours to find civilization instead of dying. You can survive a diarrhea that'll come probably in half a day but you can't if you get a heatstroke from being severely dehydrated and passing out in the sun or something within hours. The show is staged sure but the things he does is more for entertainment. There are genuine survival strategies you just dont do most of what he does like eating things raw without cooking or not filtering the water sources with some rudimentary means like filtering with dirt/sand/charcoal/shirt and then heat treating it.

    Yeah I gotta say, even the stuff that is technically safe or "safe" to eat REALLY should be cooked for added safety and taste. Like when you mentioned that he's a "survival specialist" that doesn't seem to utilize fire, I never really noticed that before, but you're kinda right. A survival specialist really should, not just teach you to be a scavenger, but be a hunter/fisher/shelter builder/and teach you to make fire from simple tools. Like I realize in some environments, fire may just be an impossibility unless you have the supplies with you already (which kinda defeats the purpose of what he should be trying to teach), so I get not using fire every single time, and I'm by no means an avid watcher of his, but I don't think I've ever seen a clip of him using fire, or making a not gross shelter (didn't he take shelter inside an animal carcass once? Or am I thinking of someone else?). Dudes always eating raw, disgusting food.
    I feel bad for his gut, liver, and kidney's.

  • @michaelmurray6197
    @michaelmurray6197 Před rokem +4

    I like that fire is mentioned. But one of the most important reasons for cooking your food is almost never mentioned. It actually reduces the calories needed to digest most food, which means you actually get more calories out of your food. For example steamed broccoli is more calories than raw broccoli. Obviously you wouldn't want to burn your food, and it may not increase calories much for some type of food, but you basically always better off cooking your food when you can in a survival situation. This is especially true for plants. Plus there are a ton of plants that are slightly poisonous when uncooked, but the cooking process breaks down those poisons, for example potato.

Tie a watertight bag (ziplock, sandwich bag, bread bag, even a grocery bag) tie it into the end of a tree branch using a hair tie, string, rubber band or ect. and weight the bag on the outside with a rock or other heavy object. And water will condense inside the bag over hours! Can boil to clean it further but trees are usually good at being anti microbial to begin with

I have always wondered why Bear skips that step as it seems like a very necessary step to making sure there’s actual value to what you’re doing.

    People say urine is sterile because they don't understand the difference between "sterile" and "homeosterile".

Doesn't mean it's safe; just because a bacteria is present in your urinary tract doesn't mean you won't get sick ingesting it.
    Oh hey, so from experience, white vinegar seems to work better than saltwater for jellyfish stings. According to Mythbusters, the best remedy is to rinse with white vinegar while scrubbing gently with a stiff brush to get the remaining nematocysts off.
    Fun fact about water-storing organs: giant tortoises have a special organ that stores up to a gallon of fresh drinkable water. It's about half the reason they're endangered; historically European ships traveling through that part of the world would pick up and keep a few live giant tortoises as an emergency food and water supply. They'd often be killed before emergency conditions happened, because the other reason they're so endangered is that they apparently possess the most delicious meat known to man.
    I'd love to see you react to Survivorman, Les Stroud actually admits he makes a lot of mistakes, but he's still definitely more of an actual survival expert than Bear Grylls.

    As a veterinarian, i can confirm the "Rumen water" part sounds like the absolute worst thing you could do
    The way that ruminant animals like cows, sheep, etc. can eat grass and things like that, it's through FERMENTATION. The Rumen is absolutely FILLED with bacteria that fermentate the parts of the grass that are not really digestible and use the process to get protein, etc. etc. So i cannot imagine getting a mouthfull of those bacteria can do you any good

    The rumen thing actually has quite the historical significance in Islamic history.
    As the story goes, Khalid ibn Al Waleed's (a very well known Islamic general) army faced extremely harsh desert conditions as they advanced through the Iraqi desert. To counter the debilitating effects of heat and the lack of water, Khalid devised a plan to maximize the utility of their camels. He ordered the camels to be given as much water as they could drink before the march. Then, during the march when water ran scarce, the camels were slaughtered and the water stored in their stomachs was consumed to sustain the army. While camels don’t technically “store” water in their stomachs in the way a canteen might, their unique physiology allows them to retain a large volume of water in their digestive system that can be extracted in dire circumstances.
    The outcome of this strategy was that Khalid’s forces were able to survive and continue their march, eventually capturing Ain al-Tamr. This battle was one of several that led to the downfall of the Sassanian Empire and the expansion of the early Islamic state.
