:pAdd another shrimp on the barbie for the glory of Bear Grylls. He ranks right up there with Steven Seagal. I am glad you are turning around Dooku. Everyone should love Bear Grylls, especially the canadians.
But he is not a bad-ass by any means. It's all fake.
You woudn't catch me out there even it was fake!!!
BTW...all of it is FAKE....even Les Stroud!!! It's just varying degrees of what appears to be real and not real.

A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years. ― Alexis de Tocqueville
I read the poll as "Who is the better of the two" and not "Who is the better at surviving". Since they're both fake, Bear Grylls gets a bonus for being entertaining and having the James Bond accent.

Exactly!!! And that is why I watch Bear and not that other guy who puts me asleep!!!

The poll was created with bias. I, personally don't find Grylls entertaining because his show is so incredibly staged and melodramatic. I completely agree Survivorman is not as exciting to watch, but it does provide better lessons in real life survival situations.
I now know the previous video I posted, and THIS ONE are basically commercials (I do like dos equis). I guess they're meant to be funny, but I just don't get it. Why the fuck would you catch and cook a rat if you have beer!?!?! :p

How is that the poll was created with bias? Either you vote for Les or you vote for Bear....that simple? Do you mean that the creator of the poll can't expreses his views or even vote? Is Eagle such a demostrative person that he's pursuaded 9 other to vote in his favor?

Seeing that the topic lit a fire under alot of asses, a thread needed to be started to name a victor.
Who is the better of the two:
Bear Grylls (Man vs. Wild)
or
Les Stroud (Survivorman)
The two are well known on the discovery channel for their shows about getting out of survival situation. I believe Bear is the better of the two since he actually shows you different methods that work such as finding you direction using your watch, different ways to start a fire.
Les simply shows you he is a putz. He is always out of water, out of food and only needs to last seven days before they pick him up. Almost always he tries to catch food but always fails. I really don't care if he can barely last for 7 days, I want to know what to do if my ass is ever lost or in a ten line bine. Bear shows you what to do if you are stuck in a mud hole, or how to scale a cliff, navigate at night, thing that are actually useful instead of "Man, I haven't ate in three days, let me play my harmonica".
