both guys are impressive in their own right. i have my wilderness first response and i can say that these doods are great because they represent the full spectrum of what the back country experience is and can be in emergency situations.
bear is way more flashy and exciting...he does shit very often that i find myself saying, he really didnt have to do that..but it's tv, and good tv at that.

les is the opposite of flashy (obv...he's canadian), he is more about endurance and decision making. he does all his own camera work with tripods and shit. (that must be tough!) by the same token, his crew is not actually with him. they are usually about 5+ miles away on a designated 'x' on a topo. if the shit hit the fan, what might normally be a half a days walk depending on terrain, could very well be the end of dood.

bear's crew however is with him 24/7 to lend a hand, throw a rope, give first aid, and to film..

any one ever see 'alone in the wilderness?'
dick proenneke makes these doods look like new school fags..

both are cool, but i dig stroud a bit more because of the realism.
