I watch both but prefer SurvivorMan for sure. It’s more realistic without a camera crew following him. I don’t ever see Bear the next morning looking like he didn’t get any sleep because of the wild animals around him.

There’s a reason Les looks tired on his show and Bear seems to have all the energy in the world. It’s because Les is trying to survive. While Bear is trying to make television show.

If you think running around in your back yard. Pretending to be Rambo, Is actually how someone would survive. Than I suggest watch Man Vs Wild.

Now if you are not a pussy and want to know what it really takes to survive in the wilderness. Than your only choice should be Survivorman.

Don-

I watch both- gotta admit, I find entertainment in both BUT there is a TON of BAD info being given out by Mr. Bear- like jumping in Class 3-5 water to get to civilization when there really is no need other than the wow factor.

Les does seem to be more of the average Joe and gives a bit more practical advice as opposed to a ” dogs are on my trail and I better run like hell” attitude of Gryllis. Both would be good allies when the chips were down.

BTW- if Joe the deer hunter took everything in the woods he has been told he needs by the outdoor media and advertisers, he’s need a lot more than a daypack….. JMO

Les seems more authentic. Indeed, he relates better to the “average Joe” (six-pack Joe, Joe the plumber or any other Palin’s Joe). Of course you have more action with Bear (jumping, running and so on). This is because if something happens to him, someone would take care of him. Les has to manage not get hurt and survive at the same time. If not… it might be the end. So… if you want scripted action… go nuts for Bear. If you want some reality… Les is the winner.

I’ve been in the US Army for 16 years. Can’t say what I’ve done, but I now teach SERE (Survival Escape Resist and Evasion) to troops going all over the world. MVW is legit! Bear teaches more on the Evasion from the enemy techniques. These techniques are however not the way to go for all isolated personnel situations. That’s what the Army call’s it by the way, Isolated Solder Guidance (ISG). As far as Bear receiving food and water off camera? Who cares??? As long as he keeps ripping the heads off snakes with his teeth when they say “ACTION” I’m good. Again if you’re on a camping trip and family knows you are on a camping trip and you can’t make it back, then yes you would hang out and wait…If you think they can find you.
As far as entertainment…the survivor man makes me laugh my ass off!!!!!!!!!!!!! Other than that, they should take that junk of the air.
If you’re weak?… than MVW is not for you, and you shouldn’t be outdoors anyway.

These posts about tv are really cool. I have to go with Survivorman between the two shows. Survivorman seems more authentic to me. And as you said, I relate better to Les. Not that I really relate to either because I would probably not make it through a few hours of what they do. Both shows are fun to wacth.
