In no particular order;

"Zip up, and we go . . ."

"A puma is about the same size as a mountain lion."

"You must alternate your hands and your feet when climbing up the tree."

"My pee is REALLY yellow . . ."

"Really, my only choice here is to . . . "(insert) -
-jump off this 70ft cliff into the river
-abandon my camp if a bear might be out there
-follow this slot canyon to civilization
-use my backpack to float down these frigid rapids for 12 miles
-swim under this debris jam
-climb UP this waterfall
-use a vine to abseil DOWN this waterfall
-immerse myself in the largest, coldest body of water
-do this unprotected 5th class climbing
-strip off all my clothing within the first 20 minutes of the episode

There are just so MANY!

“That's why I really didn't want this series to be made to look heroic, and it hasn't been. There's more depth to it than that, and I don't look heroic at all.”

“But you're in a different arena out there, and you do what you have to do. Sometimes it's you or the snake. None of the animals suffer. I show the most humane way of killing them - like with the fish, you bite straight through the backbone and it dies instantly. Similarly, with a snake, I grab it by the tail and swing it over my head, and it looks pretty brutal but actually it's instantaneous. In one programme I kill a big wild rabbit using a throwing stick, and I knocked it straight out and broke its neck.”

“I think one of the nice things about the series is that it's very human, it's very real, and it's not always perfect.”

These are all pre controversy obviously. There haven’t been many downright silly bearisms since.

From the newest commercial, Bear sings: "I love a-rack-a-nids" in a soothing, low voice...we all know he's gonna bite the head off that little 'bugga'!...Nevermind! It's a GIANT tarantula, full of nastiness (and venom?). Man, you are EXTREME!!!!

My favorite Bear quotes:

Bear came across a tiny beautiful flower hanging in the jungle canopy and remarked that it was a morale boost and how probably no one would ever see it. He called it, "an example of God's extravagance." AWESOME

Another favorite quote was his review of a snail he'd just eaten:
"That tasted like a cold, wet, bogey." LOL

And finally...
"I could murder a cheesecake right about now..."


I can't wait to see what it is in the Season 4 promo that Bear and the native are jumping out of the hole from. HILARIOUS!!!

I like when he describes things as "Not ideal." It's usually a huge understatement!

From the Nambia episode, when Bear was told to go in after the porcupine, and drag it out by it's feet. Bear replied "You have got to be having yourself a laugh."
