Yeah, I think was the only one of those guys that actually came the closest to actually surviving. That’s why he did way less “risky” things than Bear did. People would say that Les’s show was “boring”. Yeah, there’s a reason for that…he didn’t have a massive support crew with him.

As he pointed out in an interview once, he also has to go twice as far because he has to keep going back to pick up his camera after the shot. Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of Gryll's because he's just fun. Tea on top of a balloon canopy dressed as Lord Admiral Nelson? That's a guy you party with. But certainly Les was the more sensible of the two when it came to surviving. Nobody really drinks water out of elephant dung if they intend to stay healthy. That's something you do because you know you'll be back in town close to a hospital after the shoot is over.
