I think you may be confused about which show is credited with saving a person's life.

When Bear carries his own equipment into the "REAL wilderness", not 50 feet from the highway, we can discuss this.

If no one knows you are in trouble, or if you are in a desolate area, you may need to move to survive. THAT is where the things Gryllis demonstrates would be needed.

I doubt you will find anyone who's life was saved by knowing how hard it was for Stroud to carry his tripod.

all Gryllis demonstrates is to not go anywhere that is out of sight of a Comfort Inn.

when Stroud actually does something dangerous and interesting, I might find his show more enjoyable.

If he actually went to the middle of nowhere you would have a point.

Seems he is always "scaling" waterfalls or dangerous terrain while his cameraman who is 30 ft away makes his way just fine.

We're sorry reality isn't interesting enough for you, and you need manufactured drama to hold your attention.

Well, this post just shows you are clueless.

Unless being in the middle of no where without a camera crew or anything else for that matter i snot dangerous.

Bear really puts himself out there with 2-3 guys prepping his "episode" and filiming him and being htere in case he gets hurt.

If I hold the camera the right way I could convince you I was stranded in a neverending field of grassin my backyard!

to each his own, my idea of entertainment isn't watching Les Stroud huff and puff his way back and forth from his camera setup counting the days until the chopper comes back.

Well, one is surviving for real and one is pretending. Pretend is always mroe fun, I will agree.

I'd still say the odds that Gryllis would die during filming are much higher than Stroud.

People don't watch hockey to see skating, and they don't watch auto racing to see the pit stops.

Ber also has people with him, Les does not. Therefore the risk taking takes on a whole new aspect.
