Seeing as a tv show is supposed to be entertaining and informational i vote bear. Plus he obviously does that stuff too he skinned a sheep on camera and took a bite of heart he is just as hardcore but his filming is better
I actually like Bear Grylls better. He does some hardcore stuff,every bit as hard core as Les,plus he's a great entertainer and knows a lot about survival techniques and the geography of regions and the customs of the local people. That's not saying Les Stroud is lesser,they're both great at their jobs and I love to watch both of their shows,don't get me wrong,but I just like Man Vs. Wild a little better. Just a teeny-eeny amount more.
I don't know who Les Stroud is, but Bear Grylls does sum pretty awesome stuff, i go for him. You can learn allot from Man vs. Wild
Bear grylls is such a fake, he has a camera crew with him and who knows he isn't doing all that stuff infront of a green screen. He probably just eats chocolate scorpions during the show and on the commercials he finishes his Big Mac.
Les Stroud actually shows you what to do in survival situations whereas Bear Grylls just says "I'm awesome, and watch me be retarded and drink my own piss." Les Stroud also is a great blues singer, Les FTW!
