Lee Stroud

but bear does shit no normal human being would do just to prove he can do them. like the one amazon episode, he comes to this like 200 foot deep ravine, and instead of walking around it, uses vines to climb down one side and back up. what normal human being would do that? Les does things a normal average person would be able to do

Dumbshit. If you were in a situation where you had no way of walking around? He teaches you how to APPLY the things he shows to other places and/or situations!

so youre saying, if for some reason you were lost in the rainforest and came across a massive ravine, that you would use vines to climb down it and up the other side because you saw bear grylls do it.

I would happily do 100% of the shit that bear does if i got paid as much as him. just sayin...

If I'm ever i a life threatening situation like the ones on the shows, I'm gonna use stuff I learned from survivor man before I use the stuff I learn from Man v. Wild.

Same here bro. I have a man crush on Les Stroud! what a man

if that as the only way across, yea i would, climbing vines is fun

If you can truly believe you can survive a situation if you watched it on television I am very worried about you.

he carries more than on camera with him.

Bit lucky none of them break really.

They break a lot, he carries repair kits with him.

not to mention sometimes uses broken cameras for parts. like making fishing hooks and the like.

It was the tv crew at the end of an episode when they pick him up, or he has two tripods, one for camera, one for camcorder.

multiple cameras. he often has shots of him walking away with the big tripod on his shoulder

... God damnit man I remember waking up as a kid and watching him as I pondered why the hell I loved cinnamon toast crunch so god damned much.

Dammit man you me feel. I was so sad when he died.

Les's life isn't in danger
The animals lives are

Les does it without drinking urine.

Where's the fun in that?

I have an SAS handbook on survival, and yeah, anyone who actually can do any of that stuff has my vote for badass.

he also trained with the French Foreign Legion

It clearly states in the beginning that he is a badass, just not as much as stroud.

"who makes bear look like a goddamn pansy ass schoolboy away from mommy and daddy at summer camp"
Tell me what les has done that makes Bear Mothafucking Grylls look like that.

*makes* him look like

its called compare and contrast

Look at my last line. I'm asking you what Les has done to make Bear Grylls, IN COMPARISON, look like a goddamn pansy ass schoolboy away from mommy and daddy at summer camp. I didn't include 'in comparison' because I thought it painfully obvious it was implied.

Yes, creatures like anons are painfully unaware of subtly and implications.

two possible answers: one - this is a pre-drop picture while the transport crew that drops him off is still with him, or two - He has a camera on a post that he is holding out to the side of himself. Notice that the one he's holding over his shoulder is a VIDEO camera.

He has two cameras

Another possibility . . .

I know he was in The French Foreign Legion and he climbed Mt Muhfuckin Everest

It's not lying. The techniques he demonstrates in his shows are absolutely valuable to people that may find themselves in similar situations. So what if he goes and sleeps somewhere while filming? He still has an awesome show that shows various methods of surviving in harsh conditions.

If being in the SAS does not factor into someone's badassness in your opinion, your opinion is not one I'd bother paying attention to.

Right, you jump out of a helicopter and into an ocean with strong riptides/currents pulling you down, and a bunch of parachute cords wrapping around you, and then tell me how safe you are.

I guess you could say....
He wants.....
Les Crouds

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

les would be annoyed of bear for that he ask can we go now so many times

Les would laugh when Bear asks him if they can share a tent. Les has scared off lions using a mother fucking FLAME THROWER he made out of a hot air balloon he flew into the savanna by himself.

"He made out of a hot air balloon."

He's so goddamn genius, he figured out how to operate the balloon he used to fly into the fucking savanna. Man, he's fucking 2cool4skool. Praise be to Les, bringer of already supplied fire.

That wasn't the point I was trying to make, and it was poorly worded. hehe.

My intention is that he flew it out and made a shelter that protected him from all the dangers using a big balloon. They've both done some pretty awesome things but I'd be more impressed if Bear actually had at least 1 episode where he had no help doing things.

He has done some awesome things, but I don't feel that episode is the best showcase of his talents. For, he did spend most of his time in the pre-made shelter that the accident created.
Let's not forget that in another episode, he'd burned a shelter down.
I feel that both shows have their own distinctive purposes. My example will be that other survivalist show, "Dual Survival", in which the pair regularly recreate survival situations already reported, or walk through scenarios. I feel Les is more of an entertainment situation, where as I feel like I'm learning skills through Bear. I don't want to discredit either survivalist, as they're both extraordinary men, and certainly do more than I can.

Also; I apologize for the edge I used in my post.

A valid point my good man, and apology accepted in every which way.

rest in peace your glorious bastard. made me want to learn more about animals than anyone else I've ever met

Multiple cameras lol

It attached to his hip and he kind of supports the arm a bit.



If you were serious, that could have gone both ways.

I'm not disagreeing with you, but Les's approach is to show you how not to fuck up, a slightly different stategy from Bear. Les sometimes shows what to watch out for so you don't get yourself into a bad situation in the first place.

But half the things Bear does NO ONE with a sane mind would attempt.
The only reason he is able to is because he has special forces training AND he has a crew with him.
I'm sorry, but jumping off a cliff to a tree with the risk of a 100 ft fall, that's just stupid.
Not to mention Les Stroud's scenarios are much more plausible, like your truck breaking down in the middle of the the Mojave, or getting lost while hunting. Those situation are the ones where you want to just sit and wait.

He has multiple cameras dummy.

So he has a camera to take a photo of him holding a camera?

That may be one of the cameras jobs, but it's not the only one.

what is the name of Lee stroud's show?
I want to watch it now

Survivor Man
