Les is da' man! "What would Les Stroud do?" is an excellent survival question to ask yourself when you suspect you've gotten yourself into trouble.

Alternately, "is this something Bear Grylls would do?" is an excellent survival question to ask yourself if you need to rethink doing something that's too risky.
[No disrespect - Bear is a highly knowledgeable, credible and experienced outdoor expert, but, unlike Les, his shows are entirely for entertainment, not practical survival instruction]
