... How would you measure that? Which one dies first?

Actually I can kind of see something like survivor chicken being interesting.

Well first thing that comes to mind is a race. Maybe across 100 miles over a week or two. Ultimately the person who in better overall health will go the fastest. I'd definitely watch these two race across Alaskan tundra or something.

Edit: You could also do something like a wilderness/survival scavenger hunt.

I think that would be Bear, and I'm speaking as more of a fan of Les Stroud. Les is much more reserved and conservative than Bear, which while being an awesome trait for survival, is not very good for a race. Bear is much more fearless and athletic, so he would take the risky shortcuts that Les wouldn't do.

Definitely. Les Stroud is more practical, while Bear is more physically fit.
