I’ve got to say out of the two shows I’ve to prefer Ultimate Survival with bear [it's got different names here in europe I guess?] and the first things I always wondered were
“surviving….together with a cameraman”
I Always felt bad for that cameraman, especially when he decided to make a raft out of barrels and crap and just sets off into the ocean [seriously, not exactly a good plan] and they proceed to sink, bear jumps off onto the passing boat and his cameraman takes a dive into the ice cold water.

Survivorman is more like “this is interesting to watch, and a few of these things actually could come in handy”

But facing the facts, you shouldn’t take tv for more then entertainment.
If I’m lost in the desert, I’m not going to think
“what would les/bear do”

My Fiance & I are big fans of Les Stroud. We see him as a true survivorman and he isnt all about the money. There was this episode he did called “Off The Grid”. Les & his family rebuild a home for themselves, they decided to use 100% Solar Energy panels for their home.. no electricity lines.. I think thats a great idea, he cares alot about the enviroment and he is all about nature. He is very independant as well, He is only one out there with his camera recording his shows.. When it comes down to Man vs Wild, Bear Grylls has the whole crew with him and he stays in hotels on the side.. He makes himself look like a real trooper but in our eyes he isnt nothing.. he is fake and all about the money.. Bear isnt proving anything to anybody by jumping off cliffs … the first day of Les’s journey he barely eats anything until the next day.. He cares more about having a shelter & a fire to keep him warm.. I think thats a great thing.. I dont understand with Bear.. biting off a snake’s head the first 5 mins of his show LOL.. Like I said.. I dont have much respect for Bear Grylls and his show… I think most of his techinques will get someone killed… I’ve heard that from many people already lol

what ever it might be.They both are trying to educate basic survival techiniques to the people.Apperciate their initiative,Just grab what we want and forget about the drama that they create on shows.Afterall everything is done for money..Cheers!!!!

I find many of the comments here to be amusing. It would appear that most of you hav never had to survive in the wild. As someone who has, Les is much more realistic, he makes mistakes as everybody does when alone in the wild. His hunting skills leave much to be desired. Bear is without doubt an experienced survivalist but that is not what his show is about. It is more about entertainment. Les does “get down”on his show but as anyone will tell you has been alone for days on end in the wild it is easy to get fed up and despondent. That is the battle!. Both these guys are talented and if I was stranded in the wild I would rather be with one of these two gentlemen than most of the armchair critics posting here.

the thing with les is he is alone, but he has gps and shit for emergency’s, even tho les is 100% real he wont kill him self to show us how to survive.

He has never lied about anything, Les is 100% real plus he also works as an survival expert so thats like a big plus.

All you jerks who calling les fake are damn stupid,
and to even try to protect Bear grylls is even more stupid
i mean just watch this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qT6Bh3A0Fu0

he proudly presents the saftey inspector.

He might have climbed mt.everest, might have been a soldier.
but hes no survivor, i bet he wouldent be abel to get a pice of sleep with a small grain of sand under hes pillow.
