I know everyone has their personal opinion, but I love this knife. The reason being is that it has everything you can ask for from a knife and that's all that matters. It has a sharpener, hand guide, whistle, fire starter, sheath, comfortable grip, strong hilt, full tang, balanced, and keeps a good edge what more do u need from a 70 dollar knife. Again I respect everyone's opinion but I personally love this knife
bilal sabri it's really an amazing knife.
Amen
bilal sabri yeah I wish I had this knife but I wouldn’t have enough
Rust, cheap sheets, bad materials means your safety. This guy is on contract this knife sucks. Get an esse, tops, Utica and go with a premium material. Mora is not full tang but the modified Scandinavian grind will save you.
It also has a compass in the handle and a thing that tells time.
Here we are almost 6 years later and absolutely no price drop. Still $72 on Amazon.
$69.95 as of today
Gerber Bear Grylls Ultimate Pro Knife, Fine Edge [31-001901] www.amazon.com/dp/B00AU6H3UY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_j0hIDbE8S62ZD
x.adam1 . . . $35 at target 2 years ago
walmart 50$
x.adam1 . . . The leash is too short to stick your hand in it should be the purpose
x.adam1 . . . This guy don’t know much about survival the leash must be longer so you don’t lose your knife in any situation!!
You are most welcome and thanks for checking us out.
Love this knife loads of nostalgia from bush crafting with the ultimate pro. BG used to make some crap knives but the ultimate pro really is a good solid knife.
It's a good knife for the money it's light and has a really grippy handle, most people will never put a knife through that much abuse, real world use is what counts I have this knife and love it
Price of this knife please????
Imran Khan it’s $74.21 (US dollars). I got mine when I was in middle school lol it’s been serving me well through the years
Really not a bad knife to keep as an extra in a bug out bag.
This knife is well worth the money, I am really happy with it. I use it camping, fishing, hiking and it hasn't let me down yet , I even have used it as a spear too spear fish in shallow water which worked really well but I guess there will always be people who think that a more expensive knife is better . But I guess everyone has different opinions and some people just try to find faults because they have nothing better to do but hey "whatever blows your hair back "
jamie smith
jamie smith The people who are knocking this knife do not own one or used one. There is nothing you can do with a $200 knife that you cannot do with the ultimate pro. I have several expensive knives and I would put this knife up against any of them, even my ka-bar.
I totally agree !!!
jamie smith I agree. This is a great knife. period.
Excellent! Happy it helped you out.
Excellent review, and a really nicely edited video too. A lot of UA-camrs neglect editing but you did a great job there. I'm now off to see what others videos you've created.
Great channel with very professionally produced and well researched vids, new sub here David!

thanks Jeff
Thanks Paul! Your encouragement is... well... encouraging! Have a great day bro! ~David
Really solid and informative video mate. I like the amount of effort you go to show us the gear you review. Not to mention the amount of editing and stitching you must do for these vids. I have the Ultimate Survival Fine Edge Knife and after seeing this vid I will purchase the Pro Knife for my emergency kit. Keep up the great work man.
Well in Australia you never carry this type of equipment in your vehicle because the cops love stopping people forcing themselves on your privacy and stealing for themselves whatever they think is 'handy. Their excuse is: ' it's a 'dangerous weapon your carrying''. They have so far stolen over at least $300.00 worth of my personal travelling equipment I carry as survival gear because I travel a lot. They always insist on searching my gear and then things conveniently disappear. The last thing they took was my brand new tomahawk and they didn't even try to hide the fact they were taking it. Stinking thieves!
I Got one of these knives after seeing this video. Great review. The thing that convinced me was the Hammer test. And it has been worth the Purchase And still serves me well although the whistle and fire steel where lost after getting snagged on wind fall. Because I had placed the whistle on the loop on the fire steel. Creating the snag hazard. Thanks again for the Great review.
cool vid man thanks, liked the thing at the end now u got me hooked clickin all these knifes!
Sounds cool. I have sooooo many knives to review... but I will look at this in the fall if you remind me. Thanks bro.
Love this knife it's so practical and has so much features
Michel Azar It sucks.
Moras are waaaaay better this knife sucks
I use my knives for their intended purpose: to cut things. I respect them, I don't use them as a chisel, pry-bar or ballistic weapon, so I don't much care how much abuse they take during these antics. I like a 4" or so blade, I consider serration magic for certain cutting chores and I use a Gerber Steel (no longer made) to put the last dry-shaving edge on my blades. No need for sharpening tools with my knife, diamond or otherwise. I'm Airborne, Ranger and Recondo Qualified, so don't need the survival pamphlet or whistle, thank you very much. I use a lanyard around the thumb and across the back of my hand when cutting, so I don't worry about slippage, wet or dry. The full tang on the newer model is a definite plus, but I just don't see me doing anything that will break my original in two. The whole nylon sheath thing just pissed me off, so I removed it and attached the hard sheath directly to my gun belt with a leather strap and pop rivets. I don't plan on upgrading, since I require partial serration. In fact, at 74, I don't plan on replacing my Gerber, having every confidence that it will give me good service in the field or garrison for the rest of my life. The bright orange is nice, but only for fools like me who occasionally set their knife on the ground in the middle of a task and then have to look for it. In short, I find the original very satisfactory and plan on keeping it in daily use. The video was well-made and informative. BTW, I am no great fan of Bear or Gerber, just require a serviceable knife with the features I require, cost is not a major factor, but I don't want to go into the field with anything I'm not willing to lose, with the exception of my life.
I have never seen review given in such a elaborated, precise and showing its pros By product in various situations this is something that really builds up more confidence of the buyer of the products
Really appreciate the lengthy reviews!!
I've had the original BG Gerber survival knife for 4 years and it's been worked hard. I keep it sharp and it does the job well and without incurring any damage. I can't really fault it to be honest. I don't see what some of these guys are whining about and criticizing a good everyday product for the average guy to use. If you want super special steel and super this and that you'll pay through the nose for it and likely never use it except to show your buddies what a wonderful new knife you have. If it's important to you so much then go spend your money on what pleases you most, not criticizing and whining like spoiled prima donna brats.
+Clearwaters You'll be better of with a Fällkniven F1 or S1 instead of this one.
Dan Lundberg Actually I am better off with the choice I made for my own reasons and prefer not to be pressed into buying products that are no better than the one I have, moreover they cannot be proven to be better either, so I'll stick with what I have. All the best.
Idk about that. I paid $170 for just my silent hero and couldnt be happier with this knife. Not a special steel, just 1095 but also diff tempered. I have this edge hair splitting sharp and it will hold that edge a long time. Not to mention i love the design of the handle and is very comfortable to use. I guess everyone has their own tastes.
this is how every review should be!!!!!!!!!!!
You're reviews are the best man! I always come here first before going to any other source, keep doing what you're doing and cheers!
hey man just wanted to say keep up the awesome videos. I learned a lot about the knives I want from your youtube channel
Personally I have been using the Cold Steel SRK since 2010. That knife holds up very good! Would love to see a review on it!
I bought this knife as well. I can only recommond it !!! :)
Great video.
I've had this knife in my amazon wish list for 2 years after watching this video it's time I buy it.
Thank you.
As always, you have the very best reviews.
Thanks David!
I own the pro knife for a year now and I've used it for everything from rock climbing to backpacking and the hatchet from gerber and it's very reliable and the canteen I use every day and its great I own the BG scout and I rather use the SOG escape more reliable keep posting the great vids David I hope you can do a review on the les stroud knives
Thanks, excellent review.
This is probably one of the best and professionally done informational videos I have ever seen on UTube
Impressive, professional review.
I can normally tell if a review is going to be thorough from it's first minute.
Great video! :)
To all those who have negative comments about this knife. I have only this to say. To turn up your nose at a product because of its gimmicky branding, is just as ignorant as to fall in love with it for the same reason. I took a chance and spent the $45 on the Ultimate Survival knife with the same reservations I'm sure you all have, and its become my favorite camp knife. I use it whenever I go on camping trips, I use it often, and heavily, and work my blades hard. I Think its a fantastic knife, and recommend it all the time. Are there "better" knives out there, well yeah, but its kind of like using a .50 BMG or .30-06 to hunt deer when a 6.5x55 will do the job just fine. Just because this knife isn't done exactly the way YOU think it should be done, doesn't make it junk. Anyone on here who says this is a trash blade obviously has never bothered to try one out.
Thank you for having the first coherent post I've seen so far!! I bought the Pro and love how it feels in my hands. That rubber grip makes for a perfect grip even if my hand was sweaty and the blade is solid. Sure, I hate all the stupid BG orange everywhere but beyond that it is an awesome knife. Some people are so closed minded that they will take what they think they'll believe and go to the grave with them regardless of anything. They'll tell you the sky is green before they admit you were right.
I 100% agree. Interesting how the only negative comments seem to be from those who have likely never even held it in their hand. Notice the have ZERO experience to draw from ? (mmmmm.....) yet everyone who has it swears by it. Pretty obvious whos opinions are worth reading and whos are not. Mine should be here in a week, and if it performs at least 50% as well as the very best and most expensive knives out there (probably actually closer to 80%) then it is a great knife for about 1/3 or even 1/4 of the cost. :)
Even in the years since this review this knife has yet to be broken. I like this knife. It is too bad this line of knifes got such a bad wrap because people don’t like Bear Grylls.
Totally I agree with you.
Your reviews get better and better. I feel confident in the information you give and appreciate you doing the dirty work for us! Aside from the price, this knife is stellar. Thanks for the complete review, not to mention bashing it for quality measurement!
Now this is a good knife review.Glad I subscribed.Please keep the videos coming brother.
love how all these people think they know more than a man who served the sas, specialises in survival and is a chief scout and one of the biggest knife brands gerber about how a survival knife should be XD. I bought the survival pro and I can't find a single fault. full tang, strong steel, solid sheath with fire steel and sharpener which would never fall out as it's very secure. I did a bit of research before buying it and most knives that quality were around the same price. people think just because it's bear grylls it's overpriced
Exactly!! Its a damn good knife. Way better than les strouds knifes.
@Universal Kombat I agree. The pro looks great
You forgot chief cook and bottle washer.
Agreed
He doesnt even use these tools. Gerber makes them then tells him to endorse it since he has a contract with them. In reality SAS wouldn't use this crap. Stop being so naive
$70? Holy shit! In the UK, the cheapest one I can find is £89.99... equating to roughly $148...
I enjoy your reviews David. Thanks
great video i love it you have tot me a lot of how to choose my survival gear!
Too many people bitching about the name, scratch bg off and its a decent knife, not a falkniven or becker bk 7 but for the price its not bad ,id say the steel is slightly better than aus8 just dont use a pull sharpener and keep it lightly oiled , sheath is actually well thought out. My advice a schrade fronteir is a better option or save a little and get a bk2 as a one tool option, get this knive if you dont care about branding it will work either way
seen lots of hates toward this knife, I bought one, it's fine, I'd give it a 6.5/10. not the best but it gets the job done.
Newman Gan you'll see.
Mars Seeker still working fine.
Everybody hates it but when you get down to it there are really few fails with this model. I don't like the look of it in terms of colour and BG logo but its stainless and easy to sharpen.
Yeah, the look is the only thing keeping me back
You do awesome reviews
got mine yesterday,this knive has the best grip i've ever felt, i am one happy camper, ready too
How much was it
For the money that’s actually a really good knife i’ve seen other videos where people are literally abusing that knife it doesn’t break and the steel is pretty decent if you’re on a budget that’s actually an excellent knife I like high-quality Knives I’m actually thinking about buying one
Pretty tough I’d say it’s extremely well-built you’re smacking that thing with a 3 to 4 pound sledge and it didn’t break the handles didn’t fly off most knives that’s most likely what will happen
That’s actually a knife you can buy this is what I’m gonna do with it by I just Buy it sharpened good and just throw it in the glove box of my jeep so I always have it if somebody steal it’s not a big deal I’ll just buy another one
idk why people bitch about this knife had mine for 5 years now used plenty of times and never failed me i added a pouch with a survival tin and attached it with a 550cord bracelet its roughly the same weight
+Teddy Milan i ment the original half straight half serrated not this one specifically i know alot of people bitch about the original but i find it super usefull
Excellent, comprehensive review.
I learned more watching this video than I anticipated, great job and I'll be checking in to this knife.
Bear gets a bunch of crap from people yet 10 yes ago everyone loved him, only in America right, one day your drinking water from elephant turds and the next day your sniffing wine and buying land. He did exactly what he should have, unlike football stars who break a leg and are out of luck he will be able to take care of his family even after hes dead. Actually after seeing this and reading other comments I'm going to buy one just to put more money in his pocket and to support my local home businesses. Thanks for the awesome review.
Those are nice knives I have owned one. They do have a couple issues.
(1) if you are in a "bug out" situation , you don't want nothing orange.
(2) I prefer a cerated base. It is better for gutting animals.
(3) the ferro rod is tiny.
It will do the job though.
You can in my opinion get better. The SOG seal pup has full tang blade , it is all black, it is also designed for tactical as well as survival. It does not come with a ferro rod , but you can get a big ferro rod for about $8.00. (At least here you can) the blade is shorter but that can save your fingers! It is also preferred by lots of active military personel. They run about $50 for just the knife and sheath. Mine has never let me down.
Airik1111, I agree. I got the knife and hatchet set from Amazon and am very pleased. The hatchet is pretty thick and has some weight to it. Has the "stuff you probably won't ever need" but that's cool. People's bad opinions are like, well you know.
fuk him & his family too... poser
Great video and review! Camera work was A+
You're right the price needs to come down.... still up at $70.52 with Amazon Prime.
Can't justify that when you can still get the Becker BK2 @ $69.99 on Amazon Prime..... At the end of the day this knife is still for weekend warriors and Bear Grylls groupies.
Sure the BK2 is nice but it's just too big for me so the BG U Pro works perfectly for me and feels amazing in my hands. Don't forget the BK2's sheath is hated by almost everybody so you'll have to get a new one so add another $20-$30 to it.
YES! I hate the sheath! You're being kind about the sheath cost too.. so for the only sheath that I like for te BK2 is from Skystorm and its around $70... LOL
Excellent review! Thanks for the info.
Your videos are really helpfull man. Keep it up!!
i don't know what the hell i want to buy this knife. i mean i don't even go outside my house
LOL
Then, why are you here?
Hi, couch potato
Just grow a pair and get it
Grim Reaper WELL GO OUTSIDE MAN!!!
he will never bang his msk1 into a stomp top like that
love this channel dave! keep up the good videos
As always great review thanks David.
yes, but can you shoot down planes with it?
Sure can, if you have a good imagination or you take a shit ton of mushrooms.
Yeah if you’re chuck Norris
@@hunter0161 you mean MacGyver
Only with the semi auto assault model🤣🤣
Ask John Wick
I got one and it is very durable, reliable, the blade stays sharp and would still slice a tomato even after I had split small logs. This is well worth the money !!!
jamie smith You could slice a tomato with any sharp object, not much of an accomplishment. Trust me bro, it wont hold up over time.
Paolo Calabria Been using mine at work (landscaping) as well as recreation (camping, hunting, fishing, etc). I have put this knife through hell for quite some time and it has held up just fine
From what i hear, this knife is garbage. Could be better than i think, it could be an amazing knife. I saw one at walmart, i was so close to buying it. But i stopped myself because ive hear alot of bad things about this knife.
+Paolo Calabria The only bad things they have to say is that it is endorsed by a celebrity. This knife will do everything you need it to do. It will not let you down.
+Paolo Calabria Probably because your "heard" but never actually got your hands on one. Give it a try first then say your piece.
I am fairly new to bushcraft and will be taking several classes this summer. Because the cost I bought the BG ultimate and it seems to be doing ok for now....I love that gerber made a much better version and the BG pro goes on the short list when I decide to upgrade. Thanks again for another outstanding vid !
Thanks David. Really im a newbie with knives but man, ur reviews are amazing and thorough. keep up the good work n thanks!
Just a little side note. For 20-30 bucks more (going off of the Amazon $60 price tag) you can get a much higher quality knife thats made in the US and the company will replace it for free if you break it.
Look at the ESEE 4
Well I agree with you, but I would not say you even need to go to $60 for a knife that is much better quality than the BG stuff. The new Schrades maybe made in China, but they are made very well comparatively and will defiantly out do the Gerber stuff. Also the Cold Steel SRK ($70-$80) is made in Tiwan and is far superior to the BG, not to mention the Beker line. Some of the best sub $80 outdoor blades I have seen are coming from Condor (El Salvidor mind the spelling) And if you want made in America Buck and Ontario has a lot to offer, not quite as well finished as the Esee counterparts but a lot less expensive.
What I am getting at, people looking at a Bear Grylls most likely are not willing to pay $100 on something they are new to. I am all for Esee, but prefer companies like Tops, Bark River, Scrap Yard, Swamp Rat, and so on.
Yeah I know there are kuch better knives at or around the same price point. Which is why I stay away from even the higher end Gerbers.
Im not saying get a $300 blade. In my experience, you get the best bang for your buck 80-200 range.
But yeah people buying these generally dont care or don't understand what makes a survival knife good or not. They see a fairly mainstream survival "expert" and assume it has to be good
Yeah that is about what I would say. In the world of out door knives $200 can get you a Esee Junglas or Cold Steel Trail Master, or better yet a Scrap Yard 911. Of course if you want the absolute best you need to pork out like $500 for a BlackHeart or some other mid tech, but those are really more than anyone needs. If you keep track of a small company called Bradford Knives, you may be able to get one of their mid size knives for $150, but I am sure that will go up to the $300s by this time next year.
And in the world of folders that will get you a Spyderco Manix 2 ($90) or a ZT 0562 ($200) is you want something more extravagant. And once again if you want the best you should find for about $1000 you can get a RockStead, but same story most functionality but more than anyone really needs objectively as a tool.
Rusty Shackleford it is good :)
4:15 do you have ARM DANDRIFF? what IS that
That is dry skin
Not Me shave with a dull knife and you will see it on your arms too.
Not Me it's literally just dry skin.
It is skin........
Thank you for this review, it was very helpful.
I like all your knife reviews, keep up the good work! :)
Who is waatching this on 2019
I am. I just recently bought 2 of these knives. This video helped me make the decision.
Yup, I have both versions and like them more than when I bought them at half price.
Bear Grylls' knives are much less cumbersome to carry. Once they snap in two, you can easily carry it in both front pockets.
If you're doing something weird enough to snap this steel into two pieces, you were using it wrong. You should have been using something else.....
Hahaha
Very good review. Thanks!
that's a cute little knife ... do you think bear keeps one under his nap pillow at the JW Marriott after a long couple of hours filming at the zoo>?
Gosh it happened once. Plus he still climbs the mountains, eats the food, and makes the shelter. It never says in the show that he actually spent the night.
Why do you people like to hate on him so much?
I like this knife as well I have it myself
this is tv-shop disguised as a youtube review channel...you can tell by his pro tv-shop narration...however great reviews;)
i agree
This is the best review I've seen, awesome work. Definitely subscribing
"it was able to cut through my hair on my arm"
me, sitting here with a knife that cant cut through a rope
Legal in uk?
yes like here in italy
+CONOR XP nope but swiss army knives are
+CONOR XP cant have fixed blades or lock bladers in most EU countries, folding knifes only ,not longer then 7cm or so..
Any knife is legal in the uk but you must have a good reason to carry it. Don't go walking down a liberal infested city centre with one on your belt and you will be fine. Just keep it in your bag and say it's for hunting or bushcraft.
Good review. I like your Videos, good Job. I am looking forward to see more from your innovative Videos.
Awesome review David. Keep up the good work!
I'd rather have the Mora Bushcraft Black with the plastic sheath over that
I actually bought this thing and its really good. like seriously
Clearly this is better, you just cannot afford it.
DHC DeepBlue Clearly, you are being rude.
Just stating the obvious. I used to have a mora it was good, until I saved up and got better knives.
DHC DeepBlue Like you know a lot about me! Mind your own business, like an adult!
The Gerber BG knives are such a massive step down from the pre-Gerber knives he used to use. Understand it had to lose some quality to make a reasonable Gerber price point. But even the "ultimate pro" uses a super crappy Chinese Cr-mov series steel. His previous handmades were powder forged, zero compromise works of art. Gerber could take a much higher quality approach to the BG line without making them a huge amount more expensive. I'm surprised they don't. BG knives should have an image of quality. Instead Gerber has made the brand almost entry level, which doesn't fit with the BG brand IMHO.
i know man look at the applegate fair bain 154 cm automatic excellence.
***** agree
For starters you are quoting the steel on the older model, not the pro which has been upgraded to what experts are comparing to a decent US equivalent. But the Question I have for you is....have YOU actually tried it or are you like all the other idiots on here forming opinions on zero experience ? No its not the best out there, but I like a heavier blade with a hollow grind is more useful overall than a Mora, and for what you are getting it will likely perform to 60-70% of what a $300 knife will for only 1/3 of the cost. But obviously you didn't consider any of this at all.
Paul Hiebert -
in fairness to Jonoderidder, his comment was made 4 years ago. Had they come out yet with this newer, better version by then? I agree with your specs I just don't know that this newer knife you're talking about had been released then.
@@IamDoogy They did. This video is about it....
I just bought this knife after comparing it to everything else on the market. Out of the box, it shaved my arm hair and is skery sharp! It's checked all the boxes for me! Good job Gerber!
Great review definitely worth a subscribe
Kabar bk2 -60$ just sayin
Amen and thanks for some sanity within this terribly mis-lead video.
Everywhere I look for it it is at least 100
Just some information for you guys. The metal this knife is made out of is 9Cr19MoV, which is a chinese version of 440C. 440C is one of the best American stainless steels there is and is comparable to AUS 8. Most companies "including Gerber" use 420HC which is inferior to 440C to make their knives in America. 9Cr19MoV is one of the best Chinese stainless steels there is, and is used for their pricey surgical tools and barber sissors.Gerber calls 9Cr19MoV a "Premium" steel and it is.I have seen this knife do some amazing things, and I have yet to see a video of someone breaking this knife " And trust me if there was one it would be all over UA-cam" simply because alot of haters hate Bear Grylls.Unlike the "Ultimate", this knife was made to take abuse, and you simply cannot go wrong with a strong stainless steel knife that can do what this knife can, yet come with all of the features it does, and the price at $68.00 dollars on Amazon is a steal. You may not like BG, but give this fine blade the respect it deserves. Its a affordable and dependable survival knife you can trust.1095 blades are awesome, but they rust, and in a survival situation if you don't have WD-40, chapstick, or mineral oil, your gonna wish you had stainless.So IMHO this is a great Survival Knife you can trust reguardless of whos initials are on it.
440 rusts . Give your high carbons a forced patina. The 440 family are not premium stainless. 70 bucks get a Utica, tops or even esse. Would you leave your hands in the life of Walmart??? Tops also offer 154cm, white river offers s35v, benchmade will give you great material. Save another 30 bucks and change the game! This is just a glow stick.
Dutch Bushcraft Knives show how pathetic this blade is. Its beyond awful haha

Thanks so much you are such a help and am going to get one. Thanks a bunch.
Thanks for the amazing review David your a really good reviewer
OMG DUDE NEVER SHAVE YOUR ARM WITH A 6 INCH BLADE DO YOU NOT HAVE ANY KNIFE SAFETY 😟😳
Are you 6?
i am 16 what about you ?
Jokes 10 your new to knives aren’t you?
Jokes 10 I do that with razor sharp knives all the time. Your speaking as if my life is endangered. Every time I drive, I’m at more risk than shaving my arm with a knife. I’ve cut myself many times, I’ve seen my own flesh and muscle, tendons, and bone. I haven’t died since. I’ve cleaned the wound and stitched it.
"Literally beat the tar out of it"?
This implies that the knife is made with a gooey tar centre, and that you were so rough on it during testing that it oozed from its core.
Very good, thorough review...... sold......nice knife, well thought out
Hi David ! Just subscribed to your channel. Keep up the good work !
What a long commercial.
Hey, Gerber paid good money for this commercial!
Spend your money on a mora
thorin dyer maybe if it was full tang
+thorin dyer if they did that they would have to give up misusing a knife as an axe/machete like i see in every video posted on youtube. or in this idiots case, throwing it. this knife is aimed at the weekend warrior market, rather than serious outdoors folk who know the correct way to use a tool.
Doesn't matter who the market target is. If it works it works. Have only seen videos of the original failing. None for the pro. Cold steel and buck seem to have the most fail videos. I own some of both and they have never let me down

+7319dexter is it really a fail or just what you or they believe as a fail?
From the things you point out, it looks like gerber put a lot of thought into improving their design.
Great review! It is very detailed.
Thank you
Loved your review on the Gerber Bear Grylis Ultimate Pro Survival knife. I'm sold. Have been looking at reviews to aid in purchasing a good all round utility knife for camping and backpacking. This unit is so packed with features and sturdy that I need not look any further. Let Gerber know that it was your review that sold me. Thanks again and I'm off to see the rest of your reviews
Bear Grylls is such a massive sell out these days. I mean, he has a reality show and he constantly advertises Walmart. Walmart... survival in America, I guess.
he was a sellout from the start my friend. less stroud all the way
he had to sell out, how else can he make money? Hes doing the right thing because sooner or later he will get too old or lose his fame.
Going from trusted survival expert to peddler of crap items you wouldn't even take camping with you is a long fall.
Kaisar Dragon Its not his fault they are shit, its Gerber's fault. The designs are pretty good but they are just made of crap steels and materials.
dude all i am saying is he jumped blindly into a deal with gerber notorious for recalls. why not make a deal with Buck or a more reputable company. i am a fan of gerber but the lately have been sucking balls. He shows you how to get killed in his show yes i know he could out survive me for sure i dont have military survival training but i took 2 survival classes with less stroud last summer and his skills are way more practical in his show he does like back flips and shit and runs for no reason plus when he's out he has like twenty guys with him theres a video on youtube of him showing his crew.
Bear Grylls? Isn't he the guy who got busted sleeping in motels and eating cheeseburgers when he was suppose to be sleepin' out in the woods eatin' raw lizards?
Yeah... he is a bitch made fake.
he never claims to be a hardcore survivalist and his show is more for enterainment than anything. In fact, les stroud has been exposed to have stayed less than 300 feet from a high way

Bear is a shill and a fake, rumors of Les are still rumors.
Just because he hasn't commented on the fact doesn't mean it's not true. I mean have you seen the blogs of people finding his supposed survial sites?
draconIs Read Bear Grylls' article on Wikipedia. It's full of stuff that usually makes someone pretty hardcore.
Awesome review!
Thanks man! I keep on doing what I do because of comments like yours. ~ David
that knife it's a joke, like JGBLADES SAID, your probably been support $ by Gerber and Bear G. I never seen someone like this knife so much. worth fail on this knife its the loop for the belt
Goran G lol what kind of knife you have ? to be calling me hater???
He has to look at this from a neutral position.
Why is it a joke? Explain and tell everybody why.
p
He's a turd a carbon pollution mouth creates climate change not good for survive ful
this isnt "Ultimate Survival Tips" this is more or less "The Ultimate Hocking of Bear Grillis' Dirt Cheap and "You Get What You Pay For" Survival Type Tools"....you should really change the name of the channel....80% of the vids are this cheap ass chinese BG endorsed junk...great if you get paid to promo this crap, but dont act like this is a tips and prep channel....hell Gerber isnt even a good blade anymore....people should know that....when a company's name cant sell the product abd you have to celebrity endorse it to sell it you know theres a issue with the product (think Beats).....
"Bear" = Dirt cheap and commie= China. FAKE!!!!
*****
nothing but crap products.
Do any of you people actually give your time to show us any thing better? No so shut up
Survive101
You shut up.
Synapsis
I will check your channel out.
Hi Damian... I don't have a SOG Jungle canopy knife.. should I?
David.. i'd have to agree. When thinking of blades etc i always come by to make sure you gave it a good review! lol thanks and keep it up
90% of the reviews on this channel is bear grylls crap.
Are you his cousin?
I have most of Bear Grills Camping equipment. Very well made, maybe a bit over priced. All his stuff is quite all what you will need.
+Kalpesh Patel but don't get his 72 hour survival
Made in China, But worst of all; Bear Grylls? Clearly. Not even eligible for a 1 on on the cool scale. I'm sure it's a great channel otherwise.
