Running Wild with Bear Grylls: Season 3 (Sierra episodes)

Grab your bear can or camp chair, kick your feet up and chew the fat about anything Sierra Nevada related that doesn't quite fit in any of the other forums. Within reason, (and the HST rules and guidelines) this is also an anything goes forum. Tell stories, discuss wilderness issues, music, or whatever else the High Sierra stirs up in your mind.

Running Wild with Bear Grylls: Season 3 (Sierra episodes)

Post by ERIC »

:rolleyes:
Vanessa Hudgens will venture to the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Most recently Hudgens received critical praise for her role as Rizzo in “Grease Live.” Hudgens has also starred in several films, including “Spring Breakers” and “Sucker Punch.” Hudgens will star this fall in the new NBC comedy “Powerless.”

Also traveling with Grylls to Sierra Nevada is Nick Jonas, who currently stars on the critically-acclaimed DirectTV series “Kingdom” and will next be seen in the indie film “Goat” this fall. Jonas will release his upcoming album, “Last Year Was Complicated,” as well as kick off his multi-city North American tour in June.

I can hardly wait for the desperate situations that they find in the Sierra Nevada--situations that my wife and I have faced over fifty times on backpacking trips there. And we're both over 60. I am sure we'll all learn a lot about the Sierra and effective survival techniques from this clown.

I put no stock in Bear at all. Les Stroud is my guy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_Stroud

At least Les did the hikes and filmography by himself.

Bear Grylls :thumbsdown:

Which hotel is he going to hang out in SF when it rains. :rolleyes:

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

I remember him in the Sierra awhile back. Trying to ride what he claimed was a wild horse. Getting as far as touching and trying to get on it's back. And him following what is typically a rule of survival but not so great in the Sierra to follow a creek to a river and down to people. Then making a raft and launching down the river. I'm sure that would play out well on the Kern or any of the major rivers of the Sierra.

Super Bear!!! Maybe he'll eat up some of those bark beetles for us.
I much prefer Les as well.
If you don't know where you're going, then any path will get you there.

I wonder if he'll spend some time instructing her on how to respect and preserve our natural resources. http://bigstory.ap.org/article/6c11a3c1 ... -rock-wall

I sometimes watch his show. Bear is a cute, hunky, ex-military, athletic, outdoorsy, engaging, blue eyed, energetic specimen of a real man!

Well, actually, my GF makes me watch the show. :D

She is into that kinda guy. :nod:
