I respect Bear b/c I think he's in great shape and clearly has some survival experience. He also does a lot of research prior to getting in to an area as he always seems to know which plants are good for what and what the original inhabitants of an area used to survive.

I love watching Les too. Survivorman starts a new season this month! Watching both together, I think you can learn a lot from them, but I agree-Bear does some idiotic things and things are usually just too easy for him. Entertaining non-the-less.
