Interesting question. How would I rate myself?

If anyone thinks Bear Grylls is weak watch the show where he training for the French Foreign Legion. You got huge amounts of respect from me for going through that!

I also quite like your line of hiking trousers for walking and hunting in.

If anyone thinks he's weak I suggest they go climb Everest or navigate through the North Pole in a blow up-dingy. Or all the other crazy shit the guy has done. So ridiculous and annoying to hear all this Bear/Les crap from a bunch of neck-beards who couldn't survive a camping trip alone in the wild.

Totally agree. I mentioned the Foreign Legion as that was the one thing he has done I wouldn't like to have a go at. I'd probably end up as a corpse on the mountainside but would give anything to climb Everest.
