I have to disagree with that. I personally like Les Stroud mmuch better than that other guy. I finally watched one of his episodes (the same one that most everyone is talking about) and I have to say, I'm amazed that he doesn't kill himself. On the other hand, Les Stroud to me doesn't really go the distance in that he says since he knows he's going home in a week, he doesn't really get into survival mode. I got that from his personal website. I would like to see him really kick it into high gear. I think that's why most people like shows like these in first place, to see what a human being is capable of under extreme circumstances. I really couldn't get into the Man vs. Wild thing so I don't think I'll be watching it again but I will continue to be a big Les Stroud fan, because as I said earlier, I think he's more of a human than the rest of them. He seems like a guy that would be fun to hang out with.
