I dunno man. Take a look at all the things Bear has done compared to Les..

Also I like the fact that Bear has his own camera crew so the entire show doesn't look like it was put together by a jerkoff with a camcorder. Bear's show is beautiful and stunning to watch because of the filming quality where as Les looks like he took his parents video camera into the back yard to film bugs.

Lets take a look at all the things that Bear Grylls is known for.

Quote:

# 1995 - Served for three years with 21st Special Air Service Regiment, a special forces unit of the British Army, during which time he broke his back in three places, while parachuting over southern Africa.
# 1997 - Became the youngest British person to summit Mount Ama Dablam in the Himalayas, a peak once described by Sir Edmund Hillary as 'unclimbable'.
# 1998 - On May 26, Became the youngest British person to summit Mount Everest and return alive. His book on this expedition, titled Facing Up, reached number nine in the best seller list.
# 2000 - Married Shara Nathalie Patricia Grylls. Later that year Bear led the first team to circumnavigate the UK on jetskis, in aid of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) Lifeboats.
# 2003 - Led team across North Atlantic in a rigid inflatable boat (RIB). The book on this world record is titled: Facing the Frozen Ocean. It was shortlisted as 'Sports Book of the Year.' Along with Dame Ellen MacArthur, he was awarded an honorary commission in the Royal Navy in recognition of this achievement.
# 2005 - Led the first team ever to attempt to paramotor over the remote jungle plateaux of the Angel Falls, Venezuela, in aid of the charity 'Hope & Homes for Children'. The team were attempting to reach the highest, most remote high tepuis, made famous by Conan Doyle's 'Lost World'.
# 2005 - Bear broke the world record for the highest ever open air dinner party [1], slung under a hot air balloon at 25,000 ft. Details of this adventure, in celebration of 50 years of The Duke of Edinburgh charity Award scheme.
# 2005 - During July, Channel 4 aired Escape to the Legion, a four-part documentary series following Bear & 11 volunteers over the course of a month in North Africa as they endured a course based on the basic training of the French Foreign Legion to find out "what kind of men [they] really [were]". The show was co-produced and presented by Grylls.

lol, oh yeah, I thought that at first but then wasn't positive. You are right though, it was Bear. Hes always in these crazy ass places and searching for food and I'm always wishing he would pick some cubes and eat them, that would be cool. Well I for one agree that Les Stroud is better, however this Fridays show looks pretty sick, he can also build some sick shit. You guys should watch it this Friday it looks like a really good one. Also, do they still run Survivor Man, and if they do; when and what channel?

I like those kind of shows, even if the guy does bring a camera crew with him and may not be the best of the best when it comes to survival, or he may cheat a little. At least it's more educational and better than most of the shit they put on TV these days (IMO). They give pretty decent tips and information either way.
I pretty much mostly watch documentaries, national geographic/discovery/science channel.

yeah they are both awesome...but i think les edges out bear...dont get me wrong bear does crazier shit and has a good show that i like a lot...but i think when it comes down to it in survival one of the worst things to endure is being alone.  and les demonstrates how to deal with that too....the simple fact that the camera crew is there lets you know its for entertainment purposes and not as true to form survival as les....huge fact also that someone mentioned already is les always starts his own fires with shit around him...i think once he tested a flint on his show, but thats it....but ole bear has a freaking flame trower type flint think he busts out to build fires....if this doesnt sound like much i challenge you to go out in the woods or even your back yard and bring nothing with you and start a fire using natural objects.  took me 2 hours with sticks in air crew survival school.

they are both freaked out by  bears....for good reason...especially les (he is alone)  if you come across a bear and it turns violent you die!

i watch survivorman like 2 times a week.  dont know if there are new ones, i am sure it takes quite a while to make a new season.

if bear and les were to get into a fight bear would win no problem.  if they were to be stranded on a small island for a month bear would have probably died from doing something dumb like climbing down a 200 foot waterfall IN THE STREAM OF WATER!  les would probably have a log cabin. :grin:
