I don't really know what's going on, discovery.com/my tv info says: "Bear Grylls tackles the deadly swamps of the Deep South. He dodges alligator attacks, tangles with venomous snakes and uses his ingenuity to hook a catfish with his bare hands. He also follows the trail of destruction caused by hurricane Katrina."
But he's in Sumatra in a jungle right now. :crash:
Les uses "everyday" items :tdown: It's not anything special if he can start a fire without working. Bear has people there to keep him out of danger but he still does stuff like jump into freezing water and drink the water in elephant shit.
Les because he is more practical and legit. Being an outdoorsmen and practicing things like outdoor and winter survival I can compare to Les closer than bear.
The only reason bear would seem more mentally capable is because he has a crew right next to him... imagine how lonely you would get surviving by yourself... Les is the real deal
I feel bad for Bear, he stays in hotel and wears a life jacket once because producers forced him and now suddenly everything he has ever done in invalidated
Bear spys a river, says its very dangerous.
Bear hops in the river.

Bear floats down said river with a life jacket on. (He started out with a knife)
So: Bear is a fraud.
He has also been seen checking into a hotel when he should have been in the wild.
It's not like he doesn't say he's not going to be out there for the night. Listen to him next time he's building shelters, he's said it multiple times.
