I have never seen more than a few brief clips, but often a wee bit of video footage tells you a lot. Forget about those prima donnas, the whussie contestants on surviver, this man is true grit, a genuine survivor. Journey along with Bear, he'll take you there, where?, on the adventurer of your life, from the comfort of your home. Bears, Dogs, and cats all ascended from a common ancestor 45,000,000 years ago, bears sound like dogs and vice versa, dogs are our best friends and bears at times as well, Mr. Gry
