[QUOTE="LoisC, post: 3328744, member: 107828"] Bear Grylls for sure. Les Stroud's show is very informative, but it all surrounds the plot that if you were to ever get stuck in the wilderness, it would be because of an airplane crash, or some event that people would know that you're out there. This is okay for most people, but I think Bear Grylls is more of a "what you need to do to save yourself if you get stuck out on the wild and nobody knows where you are" type of a host. Most of his stuff may be fake, but it's informative. Yes, he jumped into a frozen lake in order to show you how to survive hypothermia. Most people are saying, that's not surviving, that's being an idiot. But he's doing this to show the viewer what to do if say, they were stuck having to cross a frozen lake and they fall in. Practical uses and such. I like watching both shows, but if you ever want to survive really being in the wilderness, listen to Bear Grylls. Les Stroud's ideas on survival are more for commercial flights, pre-planned expeditions/trips, etc. where people will be able to know that you've gone missing. In Boy Scouts, they teach a Les Stroud-type of mentality because they're assuming you've done all of their other pre-requisites, such as leaving a timeline of your plans with somebody who will be able to get you help in case you don't make it back on time.
