This is the greatest show on the Discovery Channel by far. Before Man vs Wild I was not very interested in the outdoors but now I'm hooked. I was always in sports growing up and now I want to take that athleticism and apply it to the outdoors. This show has shown me so much of what I have been missing out on in life and I want to get out there and explore just like Bear.

This won't be an in depth review, so I'll keep this short. And this won't be much of a review of Bear Grylls as an expert on surviving in the wild. But, I will say these 10 adventures are entertaining, and it shows us parts of the world that aren't too explored....television wise, that is.

Also, there ARE English subtitles for this season. So, to anybody complaining about the lack of subtitles/closed captions on previous seasons, Discovery does it right with this season. I'm not sure if there are closed captions however, but there are English subtitles only.

Another thing, be prepared, like always, for a strong stomach for at least some of these episodes. Some of what he eats is just awful.

I definitely enjoyed the season. I was hoping that the episode with Will Farrell was going to be in it but to my dismay, i will have to wait for the next season. there was a little bit of stagnancy in the situations Bear had to face. a lot of the situations that were left for him didn't pan out as unexpected. must say that the bee-sting in the face on the salt pans was a test of endurance. made it through just as the WILDMAN always does. this season is definitely a good addition to the collection.

We bought this for my Dad, who doesn't have cable tv, and he LOVED it. He's an outdoorsy kind of guy - the type who can label all the different mosses and trees on a nature hike. We also watch this with our 4 1/2 year old and 2 1/2 year old, and they LOVE "the Bug show" they call it. They end up building forts and rivers in the living room - whatever they saw Bear do lately. My husband & I also enjoy this show, and even though you don't know what has been staged and what is real, it is a fun, entertaining and educational show.

Just got down watching season 3 and it was great. I love the outdoors, camping, fishing etc. This dvd makes sense in a lot of ways, maybe I won't kill a alligator or a python but he does have some good ideas on survival. I found all dvd's to be entertaning and fun to watch. Bear looks like he can adapt to any situation and he is not afraid of anything, maybe because he is trained? I thing everyone will enjoy this season.

Ok, so a lot of people have negative coments about Bear, but to be honest, I dont understand why.

You may not enjoy the outdors but the landscapes Bear is in are just awe inspiring. Its amazing how little I knew about baja, i live right next door and ive been down those roads before but I had no idea how much information I was going to learn about it, just by watching this dvd.

He gives you cool tips that you might never use, which is the central idea of the show but he does it in a very entertaining way that keeps you wanting more.

So i give this show a 5 star review, why? because when you finally compare it with the garbage they have in tv or movies today, this is really an entertaining and family friendly show.

Those of you that dont like it, i think you over react. Its just a man walking through the wild, what did you expect to see? so enjoy it next to a hot cup of chocolate and your dog and you will find yourself smiling right in the middle of the 3rd season.

Ive got all these dvds and record the newest shows thats not out yet , in other words i really enjoy the show lol , i love the outdoors , i read some reviews saying he's a fake and the stuff is setup but you've got to remember , he's just showing what is possible if everything has gone wrong , ive learned quite alot from him , now climbing rock cliffs going into dangerous caves , jumping into freezing water lol well most folks aren't going to take those chances , people its entertainment take it for what it is ,i really enjoy surviverman also , but bear really does know his stuff !

I purchased this almost a year ago for my step father and he just loves this show. The DVD is still playing after continuous use and I think it was well worth the price at the time.

Very entertaining. I love these kinds of movies. I've been happy with every season so far!

I've heard a lot of people saying that Grylls' show is set up and fake. To those people, I say fooey! There's no faking a bug buffet or a live scorpion meal. This dude is the best. Don't waste your time with Survivorman or the other impostors, Grylls keeps it reals. Great show!
