RE: Man vs Wild
Both shows are good. They show you techniques that hopefully we will never have use in the field. Bear never claimed he was alone in the wilderness. The camera crew is with him and being 2 versus being alone in the wild already makes a big difference.

RE: Man vs Wild
Survivor man is the best. Bear is a cool dude, but is a fraud. Here is the article that is out of his own country:

RE: Man vs Wild
I watch both shows, and I find both informative, but Man vs Wild seems to be somewhat more contrived. I respect Bear Gryllis for what he has accomplished. BTW the21st Regiment is a Reserve or Territorial Army (their National Guard) SAS Regiment. That is the regiment that Bear was a member of.If I recall, 22nd is the only active duty SAS Regiment.

RE: Man vs Wild
This thread turned into a re-run of the other that was up a couple of weeks ago, what I want to know about is the episode he was trying to hunt deer (mentioned in the first post), how did it go? Was he successful or was it comical?

RE: Man vs Wild
I suspected something was up. Straight-up, I don't care how fit you are, how much you know, after several days with little sleep, food, or water - you would be DRAGGING - like Les usually is.....
Most of the time Bear is going out of his way to climb, decend, jump into muck, freezing water, and what-not. You can't tell me that when you're in the freezing cold with nothing, and you're camera team has a tent and all the provisions - you wouldn't cave! I think Bear caves....

RE: Man vs Wild
i agree. im watrching surviroman right now on my laptop and i do like him better. he seems more real regarding survivoral and not trying to look like a he-man who climbs over, thru, under and around stuff. seems like hes more keen on jus surviving. i like both shows tho

I watch Man Vs Wild, but he is fake. Les Stroud "SurvivorMan" rules, new episode this Friday on Discovery!

I do like this Les Stround "Survivor Man". He is believable and think he does spend the whole week out in the wild or until he finds his way back. The episode up in the Arctic was really wild! Sleeping out in Polar Bear territory in early Spring! Yikes!
