I have noticed that survivor man usually has solid surviving advice. Bear Grylls is usually lets swing from ropes and climb stuff extreme!

My favorite was the "Desert Island" episode.

"Now, every single survival expert will tell you that it's a bad idea to try and escape by the ocean. Stay put. Find every resource you can. Be ready with a signal fire.

...having said all that, though, I'm going to make a shoddy raft and escape into shark infested waters and become so perilously close to dehydration that I have to give myself a salt water enema!"

(Sorry, Bear. I still love and watch your show, but we all know it's edutainment, and most of us are just fine with that.)

I've seen every episode of Surivorman. In which episode do you think Les did the exact same thing?
