I respect Les and look forward to any episode of Survivorman (even reruns I've seen umpteen times.
I watch Bear mostly with the mute on because the scenery's gorgeous, though I have watched Bear with my daughter to point out what not to do.....
She can watch him and point out all the stupid stuff he does just for drama "look daddy, he's jumping from rock to rock and begging for a broken ankle, I would never do that..."
When we're hiking she even refers to doing something risky as "pulling a Bear".
I'm so proud of my child...
