Les Stroud, Survivorman. He provides quality content, basic down-to-earth survival advice, and he carries around all of his own camera equipment for the entire week he's alone.

He is. Ray Mears helped the British police track an armed killer who was on the run innawoods. He spotted signs and trails that the swat team (or whatever the brit equivalent is) couldn't see, found the guy's base, came really close and eventually flushed him out. All this from an unarmed civilian.

And rightly so. Have you read the sas survival survival hanbook recently? It's full of stupid errors and terrible advice.

Dave Canterbury has some great stuff. Journal of the yurt is a great series on YouTube. Non of the flash or drama of his TV stuff.

He also survive a plane crash and survive until rescue arrive but compare of what the others do in there show, he is a lot more focusing on history, education, culture and bushcraft instead if the typical WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF YOU SLIP AND FALL UNDER THIS CLIFF?!?!?!

Ray expressed a lot of admiration for the Bush Tucker Man in some show I only hazily remember. As far as his shows have gone, I think Ray definitely is more about bushcraft than survival, and that's where he shines.

There seems to be an iron focus on emergency survival shows on the TV right now, maybe because slower moving camp building and primitive skills shows wouldn't be interesting enough.

Youtube has fuckloads of people doing that though - usual caveats about enthusiastic amateurs apply - and about everything. I watched a couple of hours of people explaining how to flint knap and the tools used and how they relate to finds from ancient man.. you'd never see anything like that on TV, especially not when it's craft focused instead of history focused.

TV is dead.

safe/mainstream option of les stroud. All the flash of Gryls without the *INCREDIBLY* flawed ethics.

Though i will admit i was disappointed when he put out his own line of survival gear... And even more when it somehow managed to be even more mediocre than the bear/gerber shit.

Ray is the fucking man.

I have had an amusing mental image for a while. Being lost in the woods with Gryll's and Mears. While Mears has constructed a cosy shelter, fished some dinner which is of course, cooked to perfection, and is busy brewing some wood tea. Gryll's is stumbling through the woods puking up his pancreas and searching for more faeces to drink.

I agree with this. I don't care if it has 500 channels, they are all useless.

Almost. The NFL is pretty damned good in HD. The rest is fucking useless.

If I were stranded anywhere, I would want him by my side. Although that would make me sad, that because of me, he would also be stranded.

But yeah, Ray Mears.

Although it will never happen, I'd love to be able to pick and choose 5-10 stations and pay like $10 bucks a month. I'd pick the Science Channel, NatGeo, Smithsonian, History Channel 2 (Because they actually show history), Fox Sports (for hockey), and BBC. All the rest are bloat and I feel bad paying the amount I do for petty entertainment.

1) Youtube has a ton of documentaries from all those channels.
2) EZTV delivers directly from MVGroup who specialize on delivering documentary rips in torrent form.
3) You can search and find most things through EZTV or just a general torrent search.

Just a PSA, no implying implications.

Ray Mears. If you get the chance go to one of his talks/lectures, Highly recommended.
