Another cautionary tale for idiots with delusions of potency.

Inspired by Bear Grylls, a 29-year-old British man, David Austin, decided to embark on a year-long adventure in the Scottish wilderness. Unfortunately, the man died in under a month, likely from hypothermia. His body wasn?t discovered until weeks after he had died.

The exact cause of his death will always remain a mystery, although ?it was f**king cold? could be described as the inexact cause. I feel bad for the guy?s family, but then again, David Austin knew what he was getting himself into. If you?re going to emulate Bear Grylls, besides drinking your own urine, you might also take a cell phone, a camera crew, and spend a few nights in hotels. If it?s any consolation, Austin lost to a much bigger force than Bear Grylls. Nature is out there, and it?s play or get played. Mother Nature is a bitch, and no amount of urine drinking will spare you from 12 months ? or even three weeks ? of freezing temperatures and heavy snow.

Good. He was a retard.

assholes, why they did not put some "do not try at home" warning into the show ... oh, now i see, wait ...

Damn. At least emulate the ones where they go to a tropical island full of coconuts, crabs and stupid birds you can kill with a rock.

Maybe he hadn't read that Bear gets flown out of wherever he is and spends the nights in a nice hotel?

i read some where that he did this once before, i don't think that equates that he does that every time...

Can't remember saying it did.

What a retard, rip though

welcome to one month ago.

anyway, check out this man who at the age of 51 went to Alsaska wilderness and spent there 30 years all by himself.

I had a similar experience... one night... I was so fucking wasted... I fell asleep at the beach... I am so glad I survived...

luckily I live on a tropical island...

He should have watched the Survivorman: Les Stroud. Bear Gryllys is a fucking phony.

les had to quit cause it was too much wear and tear on his body

Surviroman is a is definitely a much more realistic and better show but it can be pretty uneventful.
Man vs. Wild makes it very clear that they're just demonstrating scenarios.

Pretty sure that was only one of the series.. He is Ex SAS so i think he should be used to sleeping outside once in a while

Outdoor survival in wilderness for humans is difficult. Although it is quite expensive, a room provides basic necessities of life such as heating, cooking and hygiene tools. Some wild animals have been known to live and reproduce in the wild. Be careful.

:1orglaughThanks for the tip.

im not sure why people try and copy shit they see on TV. obviously Bear Grylls has a entire crew with him. something goes wrong, they are not going to sit there and let him die.

PLUS, he staged a lot of his adventures and situations, not for his sake but the safety of his crew

What a fucking moron.

hate to think what might have happened if he watched jersey shore instead...


the horror...

Dick Proenneke is a boss!

It sucks dying stupidly.

Stupidity kills.

Scotland has enough wilderness to get lost in?

The thing about Bear Grylls is that he makes it look so easy but actually the guy is amazingly experienced at that kind of thing.

For me a hotel without a lounge is roughing it.

.

Yes Bear's showed is obviously staged and all that, but the guy is still a serious dude. Ex SAS who broke his back on a jump and went on to be one of the youngest to climb Everest. Reading his book shows him in a better light I think.

They've always put it into the show that certain things have been left for him. Like the one where he finds a dead sheep, skins it, and inflates the skin as a raft to cross a lake. Pretty intense and all that, but it WAS left there for him in ideal condition.
