Quoted By:
After extensively diving into the world of Bear and his gear, shows, and books, then comparing him with Les Stroud here is what I can tell you and we are going to settle this subject once and for all:
On Bear vs Les (knowledge & skill):
They're both fake, and they're both idiots that would have a hard time in an actual survival situation. However, because Bear is ex-SAS he would naturally have a higher chance at surviving. Stroud makes horrible mistakes (three log raft in Georgia that hilariously flips over, going to Costa Rica with a gash in his toe, cutting a finger almost to the bone in Costa Rica because he cuts towards himself, etc).
I mean by now they have more skill than they had when they started doing these shows, but Bear is certainly more equipped with personal knowledge and in a real situation Bear > Les, especially with all the mistakes Les makes (his show is almost a comedy in a way that you watch him and learn what not to do).
