How to exit a RIB at WOT
This video has been kicking around for a while, but what the hell:
A diving buddy of mine throws Bear Grylls out of his Redbay 7.4 at WOT, in my favourite cruising grounds.
It's curious, but there's a perfectly nice beach just around the corner 
...and he was lucky the seas settled on his way in too (  ) 'cos those cliffs are a real meat grinder in most weather....

Never liked that bloke - he seems to spend his whole time telling the world how good he is. He really managed to put Alan Priddy's nose out of joint when he tried to steal his thunder for crossing the Atlantic in a RIB.

Well if I'd known, I'm sure the lads could have been persuaded to chuck him a bit harder....

He's also got a fantastic Ocean Dynamics RIB (don't think it's the one he took across the atlantic...smaller IIRC) which he drives into 'town' from the island....presumably to shop at Spar?
Think Jono G and James may have delivered it /collected it for him...or something like that. Lovely bit of kit though!

Give the bloke a break, of corse he has a camera man, he is making a frigging tv programme
"All I'm taking with me are a few basic survival tools & my camera crew" 2.15 if you watch the clip

It annoys me to listen to these guys who are all breathy and looking around them as if someone/thing is about to swoop down and gobble them up!
He's only on the west coast for God's sake!
Look at the disclaimer at the start of his programme - Health and Safety!! my b___side!
Its no surprise that he was outed as a fake in the US.
Ugh!!

I think Ray Mears is a much nicer guy. I know who I'd rather be with if my helicopter crashed in the rain forest. Ray can cook too. 
Oh! My helicopter's imaginary.

I prefer to watch Ray Mears too but Bear Grylls is just making a living too.
If you don't like what he does you don't have to watch it.

Ray Mears isn't a member of Ribnet and he hangs out with that slightly suspect Gordon guy.
