I love Survivorman and Man Vs. Wild...Bear has a crew, but it is no less

entertaining and educational, maybe more so.

"Bear" is a showman.  He takes risks and does stuff that you should NOT
do
in most survival situations. I refer to the one where he basically
climbs down canyon
walls in Copper Canyon, without really knowing if the way will lead
down.  The jump he
has to make to continue down was just a showman's risk...  at least I
hope so.
If it wasn't, it was a foolish move.

Les, the other hand, is fantastic.  Not as flashy, but much more useful
stuff.  I look
forward to watching all of these videos.
