Is Les Stroud (survivorman) more respectable than Bear Grylls (man vs. wild) because he does his show by himself?

Yes. Plus Bear Grylls is a douche. He does stuff just for the hell of it, rather than for survival purposes like Les. I <3 Les.

Survivorman kicks ass. Les is real. As for Bear…

Yes. It’s also because Les isn’t completely fake.

and bear named his kid Marmaduke…just sayin’

Bear doesn’t hide the fact he is not alone , he does the show to inform you what to do in the worst case scenario.
That is totally different from what survivor man does , so you can’t really say who is more respectable .

Ever notice how Bear always is dry when he comes from the water, he is a proper twat but informs people what they can do.
