Exaclty...if you are stranded by yourself you don't go scaling waterfalls and climbing rocks and such. Unless you just want to get hurt and die a painful death.

If you're lost in the mountains and near a trail, sure, you sit it out. But if your plane crashes in the middle of the desert and no one knows where you are or is looking for you, you MUST be proactive. Gryllis jumps into quicksand to demonstrate how to get out of you ever encounter it. He jumps into a sub-freezing lake to show you how to get out and recover once you do. Obviously 99% of people will never encounter either situation, but if you do, having watched MvW gives you a chance because he shows you how to handle it. Stroud doesn't show anything like that. |

or unless you feel there is a high likelyhood that NO ONE knows you're missing or where you are. And those situations happen.

I'm not going to slide down a waterfall over finding another route.

Also,if no one knows you are missing then you doomed yourself before you ever go in trouble. Rule #1. ALWAYS tell someone where you are going and such. |

I won't discount what Bear shows you. But the conditions of which he attempted to portray it was bullshit. And now he has to premise his show that these are basically manufactured scenarios.
all in all, Les is surviving and Bear is showing you what to do in the case you get a hair up your ass and want to worsen your situation. |

Basically, Bear does that, but he wraps it up in a survival soap opera. I think he gives people some bad ideas though. I remember the South Dakota episode where he left the plains and entered the Badlands because there was a road down in there. Probably safer to find a road on the prairie ehh, Bear?

Stroud has shown how to build fires, what a ****ing idea, from everything but matches. Bear always has his magnesium stick on him. Stroud also shows you how to buld snares and drop traps contrary to what the other guy says. I watched Les start a fire last night using a LED flashlight. I have seen him start fires with rubbin sticks, using a battery and using fluids in a first aid kit. I have seen Bear do nothing other than use his magnesium stick., Les also shows you how to strip down whatever equipment you may have and how to use it to your advantage. Clearly Survivorman is the more practical of the shows as more hikers\bikers\snowmobiler's will find themsevles in his situations rather than Bear's. |
