Bear Grylls or Les Stroud?
 

Private poll.

Bear Grylls, British badass. Host of the incredibly contrived, yet entertaining Discovery show Man vs. Wild. Travels with a cameraman and a sound engineer. During the taping of an episode, gets picked up by helicopter and flown to different locations. Lots of stunts, lots of climbing, lots of action. Did an episode with Will Farrell.

Personally, I'd like to see a show starring his cameraman. THAT badass does everything Bear does - but while lugging around a fucking camera.

Les Stroud. Canadian badass. Survivorman. Hauls around about 50 pounds of camera equipment, and does all of his own filming. In spite of being in daily contact with his remote crew, Les spends seven days (or less, if he has to bail on the situation) alone in a hostile environment. Did an episode while being stalked by a fucking Jaguar.

Few stunts, little action. More informative and laid back. Quit making the show because it was literally killing him.

My vote goes to my homeboy Les Stroud.

Bear Grylls is a warrior. Stroud always annoyed me.

Vote: Bear

I also like Les Stroud more but if you watch the behind the scenes ones they really show him exactly where he's going and a local gives him the entire drill.

The Bear Grylls crazy jumps and biting heads off snakes is a bit retarded though.

But if you like those shows try and find some Ray Mears shows from UK or for real old school stuff try and find some Les Hiddins "Bush tucker man" series those two both really are more laid back and informative.

All are better than Jersey shore though.

I was hoping they would do a reality show where, Bear, Les Stroud and Ray Mears have some form of survival challenge against each other like helping normal people survive in the wilderness, guy with the least deaths on his hands wins.

I'll check 'em out. Thanks! Great idea about the survival challenge, too.

They're both pansies compared to:

No doubt that Bear could kick Les' ass, and I'd rather have Bear with me if I was stuck in Afghanistan. I have a better chance of stranded in Northern Canada, though, so Les is a little closer to my heart.

Bear drinks his own piss on atleast 5 episodes, and has a camera crew with him.

Stroud is in the middle of nowhere, and I never saw him have to resort to his own piss.

+1 for Stroud.

If you need to kick some dangerous locals ass you need Bear.

If you actually wanna survive with food and shelter etc. Ray Mears is best.

If you need a Canadian who plays decent harmonica Les is the one!

Bear kicks ass and is way more knowledgable.

If you're lost, either would be kick ass to have with you.

At least he'd keep me entertained while I slowly die of starvation. Or more rapidly die of thirst - cause I ain't drinking nobody's piss - not even my own.

I just get the feeling that Bear would end up killing me whie he was trying to save me.

With Les we could jam some blues and hunt rabbits and go fishing.

That actually sounds like a typical weekend up here, now that I think about it :)

No matter how you dress it up, that is still Tom Cruise. If either Bear or Les had to resort to cannibalism, pussy Tom would be the first item on the menu.

You would be Bear's meal on his 4th day..bahaha

haha Les is awesome.. Both are very knowledgeable and les often fails a lot of the time at things like hunting etc, but that's what makes him so great. He's much more realistic as to what the average hiker might be like, unlike Bear, he would tie some weird quick release knot to repel down some 100ft cliff, then swing from a vine over a raging river. Bear's show can be cheesy at times I find, where Les is just raw filming alone trying to survive.

Les gets my vote

As long as I got to be on TV!

Les did it once that I reacal (seen every episode at least 3 times). In the desert... Dug a hole... Stuck in a Dixie cup... Pissed around the cup... And covered it with plastic... And all the piss condensation (maybe a tablespoon or two) dripped in
to the cup and he drank it.

Bear is annoying.

Since survivorman ended, The best one now is dual survival. A barefoot hippie and a military butch dude trying to survive. Fucking great.

they both cool, i say tie.

You're right. Les didn't actually drink his own piss. He drank the condensation that his urine generated. +1 Les for not drinking piss. -1 Bear for being in such a hurry that he drank his own pee.

Les is probably laughing his face off.

Two to one for my pussy Canuck homeboy Les so far.

Really? I thought that was Les Grossman... :upsidedow

If that is Tom Cruise, then yes, I imagine Bear or the other Les would stalk and eat that short skinny scientologist, even if he was hiding in a closet. :helpme :upsidedow

But seriously, we are talking about Les Grossman, and nobody funks wit him...

Remember, never go full retard:



Les produced that little piece of cinematic gold. Let's not forget that.

Is it me, or does this thread seem to be preoccupied with men drinking their piss, water sports, golden showers, and other yucky stuff? :disgust

Les Grossman would never do such a thing - um, Tom, I'm not so sure about... :anon

I have no idea why I'm enabling you. Yes, Id o... I'm drunk.

Everyone has seen Tropic Thunder. Even though I consider you the King (that would be acapital "K" King) of the relevant pic or vid embed, you're failing here.

Its fucking Tom Cruise.

If you're supporitng a pussy that has already been owned by Stan Marsh, maybe you should just give the fuck up already.

yeah, Les Grossman is the true badass :D

Oh, crap. Stop. Its fucking Tom Cruise, dammit. Aaaaarrrrgggghhh! He does not count.

Les would be happily lighting fires and eating roots, whereas Bear and his cameraman and soundguy would be jumping of cliffs and wading across rapis.

Shit, Bear's crew doesn't even get to eat the bugs. I want to watch te show where Bear's crew gets pissed off and start eating him.

The man is a pussy. His fucking cameraman or soundman could kick his ass. If a soundman can kick your ass, you are the living definition of a pussy.

Hey, Bear, thanks for making us haul all of this equipment up that mountain because your pussy ass couldn't handle the work. Damn, I should have accepted Les Stroud's offer. Now there's a REAL man.

Les rocks. Poll over. Canada 1 - UK Minus 86

While I concede that Stan Marsh is the biggest badass thus far mentioned in this thread, I can only think about how Les Grossman handed Mel Gibson his ass in this tape recorded conversation, submitted for your consideration...

Until bear realises he's out of satellite phone range and starts to cry...

he served in the SAS and climbed everest at 23 so he's not that much of a pussy.

Bear Grylls is ex military. He eats & lives on the wilderness like we use a pc.

He is the dogs bollocks!

Exactly,


The best of the best!


The highest elite force in the world, the SAS :thumbsup

I like both, but have to choose Les Stroud here. There's something about the mood in his episodes that get me drawn into it. I recently bought all the episodes on dvd pretty cheap from amazon :)

Commander Anderson: Have you ever been in a combat situation before?
Stanley Goodspeed: Define combat, sir.
Commander Anderson: Shep?
Lt. Shephard: An incursion underwater to re-take an impregnable fortress held by an elite team of U.S. Marines, in possession of eighty-one hostages and fifteen guided rockets loaded with V.X. poison gas.
Stanley Goodspeed: Oh. In that case, no sir. Excuse me... :throwup

Sas takes out the bad guys & the good guy dont even know it...


The Special Air Service had Saddam in their sights for years...But the U.S wanted to take him out. So we let you ;)


Theres no better than the SAS mate ;)

SAS is bad ass for sure... although I'm sure Spetsnaz and Green Berets would disagree with you. :winkwink:

Les stroud is hardcore. Sure Bear does some amazing things but it's very scripted. Les goes out there on his own with a camera. He nearly died in that desert episode when he was overheating in his van.

my vote goes to Bear Grylls...

They both would agree that its our guys "The SAS" that gather all the intelligence for the gungho troops to blow the place up....


If the job needs doing, fast, effective & right, the SAS are the best. There is no comparison & the green berets would probably agree...

I can remember Bush Tucker Man being really interesting :thumbsup
