[45 / 5 / ?]
So /out/, here is a blow-by-blow review of that age old Les Stroud vs Bear Grylls competition.
Bear
-Say what you will, not a whiner.
-Does ridiculous, unecessary stunts for no reason other than for attention.
-Does survival show with a camera crew and backup
-Does survival show with minimal gear (he has gone into areas with no knife, but generally carries 1 knife, one backpack and basic clothing layers)
-Survival style is heavily based on fast travel into safe areas, quick self-rescue and effective (borderline excessive) hunting.
-Other
* Military trained
*Mountaineering background
*Eats bugs and bitches about the taste
*British
Les Stroud
-Say what you will, is a complete whiner (MUH cameras-somebody go back to 2007 and get this faggot a gopro so he'll shut the fuck up about how hard his life is.)
-Keeps things low risk.
-Is left in an uncivilized area for approximately 7 days at a time with no crew (he dips out early alot).
-Does survival show with increasingly stocked kit (always has a leatherman and his goddamn homosex harmonica that he plays every night like a lonely 12 year old boy)
-Survival style is based on little travel, half-hearted and ineffective hunting attempts and waiting days without food for his bail out. Seriously, how many goddamn times does this clown end up starving himself because he's too stupid or too lazy to get food? A bunch of times.
-Other
*Eats weird shit and almost never bitches about taste.
*No military or extreme outdoor experience
*Canadien
*Definitely accident prone, which is a nice way of saying careless which is a nice way of saying he's not very smart. Number of times he's set a shelter on fire: 2 that we know of. Number of times he has injured self on show due to gross negligence: 3-4.
So who should you watch?
The answer is clear and obvious. Both of them. Watch them both, glean what you can and watch yr bushcraft skill go nuts.
Then watch Ray Mears and realize how much time you wasted with these two amateurs.
END
