Repetitive postings of the same concerns have the effect of making others feel that perhaps their opinions are wrong, their judgment is not to be trusted, their perception is inferior or they are in some way not thinking clearly and that the repetitive posting member finds himself superior to those who don't agree with him/her.
Of course, no one wants to create an impression of superiority but should anyone do so, the moderators will assist in restoring equality to the boards so that all members can post his/her opinion with complete freedom and without any feelings of oppression or sense of repression.
Thank you for not interfering with others' enjoyment of the show and the boards and their free expression of their feelings and perceptions.
You should be ashamed of yourself for lying to all these people. You admitted on the Letterman show that everything is staged and you stay in tents or lodges at night when you aren't filming. Pretty easy to avoid hypothermia after getting soaked in near freezing temps. when you have a warm lodge to go back to. You should be ashamed of yourself. Some poor bloke is gonna take your advise because they think you are the real thing and they are going to kill them-self. You should be ashamed.
I can not say what that has not already been said here. Be safe and the family and myself look forward to many more episodes. Simply job well done!! 73 Mike & family
Hi Bear, I'm a 14 years old kid i like the show so much and I'm a big fan. But i heard those rumors that you were a fake like those on youtube or something.
This is one of the 3 shows I ever watch. Seriosuly those people who hate on you are just jealous, Bear, since they can get that thier lives are boring and mundane but don't have the balls to try and change it and live out the dream.
Hey there bear! Loved your show since you were a new cub to the states. Keep us gals gasping for more bare Bear! Tell your wife shes a very blessed lady to have you by her side. God bless and be cool dude! LUV U!
Me and the boys at work follow your show, your insane and we just think your a champ.
Season 5, i'm pretty sure off hand thats when you had your bad accident.
Anyways, I know this is for your safety and all but we all miss the original bear.
The bear who didn't talk to the camera men, or ask for their help etc.... Now it seems like your just a group.... your supposed to show 'you' surviving without help.
And you need to work on your camera man's skills their a bit, it seems that first episode back was a bit shaky, second one was fine ..... but yea....
Dear Bear! I'm from Russia. I have watched lots of series of your cool programme, we're waiting for the new ones. It would be interesting to see the survival in the ocean or the sea. Such people as you are respected and admired in Russia and your programme is quite popular (it's on cable TV). You are a real "muzhik"!!! You are making very useful programme. It would also be great to get from you any souvenir (best of all - the knife), and I promise Russian vodka! Truly yours, Antony

Hey Bear, Just want to say thank you for the excellent episodes that you bring to your viewers each season, I like you am also a former military service member and recognize alot of the the survival techniques that you employ on your show. I have always wanted to travel and do what you do but since I never will get the opportunity I live out my adventures through you and your program, keep up the great work and PLEASE continue to bring us more of your shows, the wife and I look forward to each and every new season you film, your show is THE BEST on cable t.v.
hey, bear, u mite remember me if u heard my name, but i m the kid that u sent ur book 2 just befor the show started. u met my mom @ a biusseness Meeting in washington.
Keep up the great work bear! Your show is an oasis in the midst of a desert of crap TV... Be careful, we want you around for a long time. And always remember to tell us what the gross stuff tastes like. My favorite is the "old prune filled with bogies".
Keep exploring the lovely outdoors of the world Bear!! Be careful on your rock climbing. I've seen you make some mistakes on the way you climb. Just take sometime to think about what your going to do next.
Hi Bear, Frist LOVE your show!!!!! NEXT what is your schedule this year? where will you be traveling to? I was trying to find it but I couldn't find it.
I wanted to let you know that I justed loved your 2006 Sierra Nevada program(since I live in California, and not far from Yosetime Park, stay safe and keep up the great work. Hebe

sincerly, nichloas P.S. just wanted 2 now if u r religous
Every single comment is positive- the mods must be editing this thread like crazy.
The TRUTH is, Bear, many people are still deeply offended by the controversy.
The original episodes, when compared to the new transparencies, reveal a startling amount of deception. It seems you didn't catch any fish (or any other prey) and much of the show was staged.
And in the new episodes, I've yet to see anything that reveals much survival training. Why did they bring in a cobra just so you could confront it and shake a stick at it? And the way you keep eating bugs, I keep expecting to see Joe Roagan come out and the FEAR FACTOR logo to come on the screen.
This thread is like a super-censored korean election rally for Kim Jong. "Oh we love you great leader!"
So glad to see this post!! New to this site and joined only to express my appall at this rediculous show. Can't believe parents let their young children watch it, and worry for the young minds influenced by this man.
Originally posted by smarter than the average BEAR: Bear does it ever make you mad that you "have to drink your own urine" and your production crew has water bottles? Or that you are "sleeping in a camel carcass" and they leave for hotel rooms? I would be irritated. You must be "really tough".
