Alone In The Wild - Tanya Streeter

Thread Status: Hello , There was no answer in this thread for more than 60 days.
It can take a long time to get an up-to-date response or contact with relevant users.
Although TV uses amazing people to portray in their productions, once they are in their productions, bovine droppings seems to take over.

Bear Grills in one of his shows. I don't generally watch TV. The wife does, I drift in, spot Bovine Droppings, drift out.

He was alone, surviving in the jungle, had to get a coconut to prevent himself from dehydrating. Tied his shoelaces together so he could climb the tree. Got almost to the top.

Next shot was above him, looking down on Bear Grills cutting a coconut.

Golly gosh there is a boomlift in the jungle, how handy.

Nobody is alone in a television production. Camera men, sound technicians, make up, costume etc. etc.

it is all bovine droppings.

Love you all

I just saw the clip with Amy and Tanya being instructed in pigeon catching, cleaning and using the intestines for fishing bait. It looks like Tanya is the bravest of the two. I'm looking forward seeing that episode.

Poida, Yes I have to agree, these media production teams do lie and cheat. I also witnessed in the shows I was on. Did you see the clip where the producer actually said they did NOT sent any cam team to record/support the participants?
Have you got a link to a clip where you can see that nearly impossible top-down shot?

AAaarrrgh, you just ruined it for me, you mean they're not alone? A santa claus moment !! :waterwork:waterwork:D:D

I remember one episeode of Bear escaping from an island on a raft and you could clearly see the nice new (white) rope holding his logs and leaves raft together under the water :)
 
I think these are set apart from bear, Bear on one show introduced us to the camera man that follows him and has to do mostly what he does but yeah its all for tv. It looks more like these are alone but who can really say. watched the first two but aint seen Joe yet. really enjoyed the cricket guy and the Jason garnier one as I really though he was gonn bail. The cricket guy defo lost a shitload of weight from not eating for the week so seemed real enough.
 
My favourite Bear Grylls moment was on his new series, the everyday emergency one. Where he taught viewers to suck poison from a snake bite and then keep the limb low. How about a simple compression bandage &%@%???

Hi RT,

Actually Keeping the bitten limb low is very important. Slows circulation to other parts of the body. In particular slows venom reaching the heart, where it can become fatal.


Antivenin is a great idea for snake bites. The survival rate for most poisonous snake bites is pretty good if you can get the person treated with antivenin within a couple of hours.

Compresses & tourniquets are not a good idea for snake bites

Sucking venom into your mouth is a very bad idea

Rattlesnake venom is a special case. It works by actually dissolving tissue. If you have access to a snake venom pump, you can reduce local damage by sucking out as much as possible, while you still get the victim somewhere for antivenin treatment ASAP. (FWIW, a professor at a university I attended had gotten bitten in the little finger of his right hand by a Northern Pacific Rattlesnake. It was twisted and distorted, sort of like it had melted and then refrozen, and he couldn't move it).

Needless to say, rattlesnake venom should never come in contact with your mouth.

Coming from Australia, and a military background, goodluck being bitten over here and NOT applying a compression bandage. We'll start a sweep, the maximum amount of time on the sweep will be around 7 minutes to death. =)
 
Benny we actually lost a guy to them... Nothing left but a brown stain and a boot.
 
What do you mean by this? Santa Claus is real

Don't be making up stuff and ruining Christmas for me!


Oooh sorrry, no your quite right.

Apparently he is the patron saint of thieves! [or of theives who repent].
