I kind of think both Bear and Les have things that are worthwhile learning, although Les is clearly the guy to follow. Bear is more like watching a guy on an adventure.

I could see myself trying to do many of the things Les attempts, and seeking to avoid things Bear does. I saw a recent show with Bear trying to take a raft across a lake or river with freezing water. It was just a plain old dumb move. His rafter was too flimsy, it couldn't keep him from just being flat out wet, and there was no way he was ever getting across before hypothermia had it's way with him. I'm not drinking water from elephant dung, at least I don't see myself doing it. However, if it was there and I was thirsty, it's still nice to know it could be done. I hope I'd emulate Les more than Bear, but each has some information of value.
