Neither guy is probably allowed to really put his life on the line, because then the Discovery Channel (the BBC) could be liable.
I remember a Surviorman show where Les was going to survive a sea for a week. However a nasty storm blew up and he was called back to the "mothership."
Personally I think
these people are the most badass. Without any survival training they survived for MONTHS!
