I am going to go against the grain and go Dave Canterbury. Grylls does needless stupid stuff mostly for attention i like ray more but it isn't survival like the others have said. If you ever watch duel survival it is a nice middle between Ray and bear
Les Hiddins
Well, aiming to be like...
I tried to be normal once.... Worst two minutes of my life...

Neither I prefer people with real skills like John Lofty Wiseman or my old teacher Eddie Mcgee and gods like Major Les Hiddens, Mears and Grylls are minor players in comparison. Indeed when Meers went walkabout in Oz the first think he did was seek our Major Les and it was clear for all to see on TV that Mears was clearly suborndinate to the great Major.
I always considered myself quite good at combat and survival after more than 10 years soldiering, then I did two of Eddie MGees courses and soon realised i knew lest than nothing and I was in the presence of a master.

Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.

Neither. I'm more of a home boy. I don't see survival out in -20 to be something I want to practise. I think there are enough homes in the UK we can use without having to build anything from kindling.

If I had to choose I would say Ray's approach is far better for long term situations. His methods follow those that have been around forever allowing people to live in difficult environments without tech or gear they cant make locally. Bear is only into getting out of danger quickly.
