I picked up his book and just started reading through it. I've always admired Les' adventures. I would definitely trust his advice over Bear's.
He often does a lot of his survive on what you have on you shows, but this last one, he actually had some decent equipment on it. Loved him signaling the helicopter, shows how to employ signaling devices. Would have liked to have seen him use a whistle too.
