Rogue nutter. Always said those survival shows were dangerous. It encourages all sorts of Rambo wannabees to start living in trees, on a diet of bat sh!t and cactus juice.
AN adventurer found dead in a remote bothy had planned to spend a year living rough like TV survival expert Bear Grylls, it emerged last night. David Austin, 29, is believed to have perished several weeks before his body was discovered in the hut by freezing Rannoch Moor, in Perthshire, on Hogmanay.
There's little to eat at the best of times. Apart from deer, hare and rabbit it's mostly heather and a few other wild flowers. You get blaeberries in the autumn and a couple of other fruits. Virtually nothing at this time of year.
That's what you get for taking ideas on survival in the wilderness from some stage show public school boy prick.
This has the makings of a great reality TV show, dump a load of Z listers in the Scottish wilderness and the last one alive wins. On a more sombre note, the brave soul lasted longer than if he tried such a mission in Glasgow
Bear Grylls the bloke who has scenes set up for him and stays in motels anyone trying to copy this bloke must be ****ing insane
If the bloke had copied Bear Grylls properly he'd be alive and tucked up in Premier Inn with a hangover.
On the bright side he did get given his "making a complete arse of yourself" scout badge so that's nice.
I watched that a few weeks ago ; excellent I thought ...and an amazing soundtrack....had to buy it ; imagine my embarrassment when I found out it was done by eddie vedder , of corporate rock whores, pearl jam.
he planned to spend a year living rough like bear grylls? when the **** does grylls spend a year living rough? dont see why his name should be attatched to this story in any way. a guy does a show showing survival tricks that may help you last a bit longer if you ever find yourself in trouble, shipwrecked or things like that. he dosent do a show about how to live rough in the wild for a year that encourages people to try it this guy died because he was clearly a ****ing moron, **** all to do with a tv show. this is like putting steve irwins name in the headline of anyone who is killed by a crocodile or a snake, sad attempt to sell newspapers
