I'm not going to argue with you when the shows are so different from a production stand point. One man filming everything and living entirely off the land vs one man plus a production crew staying in hotels and feasting on the buffet.
Bear doesn't have to worry as much about injury as Les since Bear has so many people with him while Les is alone.
Black bears love the hills of NC and VA, but you must have climbed 14k peaks somewhere else. Good for you, because I'd be cussing the whole way up. Live off the land for 2 months, F that. I'm with Bear, where's the Westin.
JMS, the premise behind Les's shows are that he's doing a normal activity, but gets lost or has a problem. He "lost" a motor in the boat episode, once "crashed" a plane in the Canadian tundra, "lost" his way while dog sledding, etc...
Anyway, the title of the thread is "
Coolest Canadian" and I don't think Bear is Canadian.
Hey Carey, did you climb Mt Mitchell near Asheville? We haven't climbed it, but have stayed nearby several times. Old Hiker has climbed it. Where were you in NC?
