Bear Grylls vs Les Stroud

[keyser28146]

I would say Les by about 200 to 1.

I'm sure Bear Grylls has some survival skills, but the third clip Dooku posted, showing his "Safety" guy, should shut up anyone about how he is a badass.

Les is the real shit. Having a GPS phone for an emergency is common sense... I imagine a network with a multi million dollar investment in his safety probably requires that.

Bear Grylls is fucking joke though. I'm sure the members of his SAS unit make fun of his stupid ass all the time for turning into such a bitch. His camera does everything HE does, except he does it with a 30 pound Panasonic on his shouder, which incidently means he also does it with only one free arm.

Comparing Bear Grylls to Les Stroud is like comparing Jar Jar Binks to Darth Vader.

Well all I know is that Vader got his ass handed to him twice and jar jar became a senator.

Yeah but in display of the first 3 episodes Vader was a bitch too.

Time to get the torches and pitchforks.

LETS STRING HIM UP!!!

well, everyone i know refers to them as the real one(Les) and the fake one (Bear). Now im not sayin that Bear dont know his shit, its pretty obvious that BOTH of them have an AMAZING chance of survival if they were in them situations. I believe les is the better man here cause of him going solo and ACTUALLY goin out to these places ever time

Is this really an extreme survival situation? i think not

OMG that was some funny shit I ROTFLMFAO after I read that line. Eagle you're the man. Les Stroud is still better though.

Fuck these two ok. Steve Irwin is the original badass. The man pulled a sting ray out of his chest before he died. So he didn't survive but this man tested gators and the 10 most venomous snakes face to face and I do mean face to face. Too bad he is dead now.

[EagleOne]

No I got you all beat

Crocodile Dundee is the baddest of the bad.

Steve Irwin, no doubt RIP. He would give these guys a run for their money I'm sure, God rest his soul.

Both Bear and Les are pretty thrifty guys, the moral of the story is you do what you have to to survive. I like Bear, in an all-out survival elimination match. His military background / experience is that of the best, otherwise I abstain. If we could somehow put Bear, Les, Crocodile Dundee and the late Steve Irwin into say a small fenced-in pond, with underfed and overgrown Crocs... Crikey, Steve Irwin wins hands down, even if one of the Crocs was some kind of Hollywood-engineered Robo Croc 2000 that Dundee gets to use.

You guys know you were thinking it too.

[keyser28146]

Minus the crocs, it'd probably be pretty close...

I just get irritated when things aren't as advertised. When BG is out saying how he climbed this or did that, but he's actually staying in a Hilton and his cameraman is actually the one who climbed, well that just pisses me off. When he has a "safety" guy along and basically he just eats gross stuff for ratings and then goes off camera and brushes his teeth and heads back to the hotel, that's not "man versus Wild", that's "man vs mild". It's just not authentic survival. If you can't catch an animal in the wild, you can't send a crew member to the pet store to get one for your stupid ass. Just because BG underwent the training doesn't mean he is any good at it.

Les on the other hand has a less spectacular show, but his show teaches you actual survival technique, since you can see how well it works for real. If he gets a rabbit it's not because his crew brought one in from a pet store after he failed several times to get one (like Bear Grylls), but on HIS show, the failure would clue you in that you need to make alternate plans, as HE has to do in order to actually survive for real.

Any survival information that comes from a guy who can't actually perform it is useless in my book. I don't ask people who fail for advice, and I for one am not interested in their opinions or theories. Now if you are only interested in the entertainment value of the show, then I'd say BG probably has a more entertaining show for the gross out factor, but it is kind of like Fear Factor except it is missing Joe Rogan, as far as the real thing, it's Les.

And yeah I was a big Crocodile Hunter fan, surprised it took him as long to get killed as it did.

[EagleOne]

It was confirmed today that Bear rules and Les drools.
