Only ever seen Bear, but it seems like he would be pretty hard to top. Plus survivorman just sounds stupid.

Bear is a girl scout compared to Les Stroud. At least survivorman actually does some real surviving. Bear has a whole camera crew follow him around playing up some fake danger while Stroud carries all his own equipment.

Also Bear gives really shitty advice.

-laugh+facepalm-

Dude, I don't see how showing yourself and taking triple the time of a journey to carry and put cameras everywhere make you show survival skills . If I want to see a survival show, I wanna see good techniques and good advice. I don't think I will ever lose myself somewhere in the mountains with a s**t load of cameras in my back.

Sure Bear has an entire team behind his back and I really don't mind, as I don't really care how much a "pussy" he is because of that , as long as he shows me good survival skills. Even if he had 300k guys covering his ass I really haven't minded.

Besides that , Les Stroud only takes time to make a fire and stay in one place almost all the "survival days" and b***h about everything.

-And about Bear "being a pussy" . I don't really think he would be a pussy if he came here from the frikin army and climbed the everest. Also, try saying he's a pussy after all the stunts and sacrifices he does for the show. Go and eat a live 4 inch spider and then we'll talk.

I've seen both shows and , talking about survival skills and techniques (not about entertainment and action) , I still prefer Bear.

If I am going to take advice from someone, I'm going to take advice from the guy who could survive completely on his own action and do it despite carrying extra equipment.
Sure Bear has an entire team behind his back and I really don't mind, as I don't really care how much a "pussy" he is because of that , as long as he shows me good survival skills. Even if he had 300k guys covering his ass I really haven't minded.
Any sign of danger is grossly exaggerated or completely manufactured on that show. Like when Bear faked crossing over a "dangerous" crevasse
Besides that , Les Stroud only takes time to make a fire and stay in one place almost all the "survival days" and b***h about everything.
This is the correct survival strategy. Bear tells his audience to wander around and slide off a cliff until they hit a highway while Les shows his audience how to hunker down and survive until rescue can find him. For his own safetly he has a limit on how long he's going to be out filming but he stays in a location long enough so that he can cover a lot of tips in each episode.

If my on site safety instructor says the spider is perfectly safe to eat that doesn't prove anything about my masculinity.

On the basis of survival techniques Bear gives terrible advice so he loses immediately. On the standard of action Man vs Wild is fake and Survivorman is a really good informative Documentary formatted show.

...so how do you know bear doesn't survive on his own ? He may get advice or very little help but most of the things he does are purely individual (sleeping where he makes his sleep place, eats only the things he finds, drinks the same, and the stunts he does are more than on his own)... And if survivor man would have a cameraman with him he would cover much more ground and not bother carrying and b****h about how many cameras he has to carry.

If 5 square meters of jungle was in the middle of the city close to a walmart and a hotel , but the jungle was full of deadly animals, I would still love to see bear survive crossing it.

-lol- No. B****hing about everying ISN't a technique of survival. To be able to survive you first need to think clear and positive , full of hope. If you don't, you're far from taking the right decisions in the right places and finally being rescued. I don't support bear for his stupid stunts or whatever, but I would certainly not want to hear a guy who b****h about everything he dislikes and sings his harmonica to attract bears. And btw, if you're lost in the wild , I don't think there are too many chances for you to get rescued if you stand in the same spot and wait for someone to do it for you. You have to use your mind and know where civilization may be (like down or up a river, climb a tree to see some trails or sights of human buildings etc)

To be honest, I have actually learned more stuff from bear than from survivorman. And the spider thing - it does.

It isn't a dangerous jungle, its a ditch by the side of a road.

You go ahead and wander around the canadian wilderness and see how far that gets you. I'm staying near the plane crash/ my last known location until someone comes looking for me.

Wait, people still watch and respect Bear Grylls?  Dude is the biggest joke on the internet right now.  Amazing!  The Soldat Forums have become an oasis of douche, completely ostracized from the rest of the informed world.  Everything Grylls does is completely staged.  Watching Bear Grylls is like watching the Daily Show green-screen reports and considering them a realistic and accurate portrayal of the event they're covering.

Everyone, this guy totally knows what he's talking about!  Just kidding.  Any military man, scout, or park ranger will tell you to stay the fuck in place.  Wandering is how people die.
