Who is the better survivalist?
I am a huge fan of both Bear Gryls and Les Stroud. Both men are entertaining, informative, and true experts in the art of survival. Personally, I would place my trust in either of these men if it came to a matter of survival. However, I would have to say that Bear Gryls is the better survivalist based on his specialized military training and personal accomplishments. He has served in the British Special Forces and also holds a Guinness Book record for being the youngest Brit to ever climb Mount Everest. Les Stroud, on the other hand, was employed in the music industry and held a job as a trash collector in Toronto.
