You have to move very caustiosly in situations like true sr\urvival situations. Even a broken finger could spell disaster in that kind of situation. Yet I think he likes to do the "Stunts" because it MAY be a bit of an ego thing.

    All that said, I think I would like him a lot. Did you see his flight over Everest? VERY cool. Hey, he was SAS... nothing to prove to ANYONE in my book! Still, some say Strouds show is a little boring because he doesnt do some of the goofier stuff. So I guess it all makes interesting TV.

    Stroud sure makes it tougher by filming all his own stuff. That would be TOUGH! And of course they both have rescue or "bail out" options. Id love to go backpacking with either! I bet you would learn a TON!
    I dont know why my DVR didnt pick up the Everest episode. Maybe it will come on again soon. Im sure the "bail out" option is definitely the culprit of his more crazy antics. I dont see him doing backflips out of trees in a real survival situation.
    I HATE BRACELETS.

    Thats a great example!!!

    He did an adventure with a guy... it wasn't Man vs Wild... I think it was called Bear's Everest Adventure. The guy he trained with backed out due to "technical issues". Personally I think he was a little timid... but Bear kept flying! LOL... too funny!

    Recently I was reading articles on my hero Ranulph Fiennes. And found a good article that referenced Bear... Actually it was Bears wife. The article was all about the women married to the crazy adventure types. :)

    I definitely prefer Les. Not to take anything away from Bear but if I were stuck on an Island, I think I would want Les with me, not Bear. I don't see Les as nearly as big an 'adventure' type, but he has a well balanced ego & a good head on his shoulders. Maybe Bear would be great in a 'real' survival situation, but we will never know because a full crew follows him around.

    In the Movie Shooter the leading actor had a Black black core I believe.

    I know its an old post, but has anyone noticed that Greg Gunberg who plays Matt Parkman on Heroes wears either an X-lander or a Metron?
