Camelot – A Replica of Bear Grylls’ Famous Camel Carcass

LIKE DISLIKE

If you’re a fan of Discovery Channel, you know about Bear Grylls’ crazy adventures from “Man vs. Wild”, and particularly about the famous camel carcass he used to protect himself in the Sahara Desert.

In an original advertising move to promote the new season of “Man vs. Wild”, Discovery Channel placed a replica of the camel carcass in Sydney’s Wynyard Park and put it up for rent, on a popular website.

Passers-by had the chance to crawl inside the carcass, dubbed Camelot,  to see how Bear felt during his survival test in Sahara, and also fill in a form telling Discovery why they would be the best tenant for this unusual property, for the chance to win a holiday voucher worth $2,500.

    Bear Grylls is a dirty fake. On average he requires a caravan of 5-10 suv's carrying everything from his hot meal he will enjoy between takes to the mini-camper he enjoys when he isn't “surviving” at the holiday inn overnight.

    Look him up, its so sad hes so fake since so many people know him and enjoy his show.

    If you are looking for an authentic survival show look no further than “Survivorman”. Les Stroud the host of “Survivorman” had to discontinue the show after the third season, not because of low ratings but because of the toll the show took on his body (no food / water does that to you, which is what true survival puts you through).

    Les Stroud of “Survivorman” is the true outdoorsman of our time, not the jacked-up hollywood stunt maniac that is Bear Grylls. If you want to see a British dork jump out of a helicopter and eat a tarantula just for the spectacle, go for it.
