    Cool oops...

    Should have included Mors Kochanski, Ray Mears, & Bob Newman as well.
    anyway, add whomever you want & I'll tally them up later & see who's popular.

    Hmmmm, looks like Army Ranger Dick...er...uh...I mean Army Ranger RICK, isn't doing so well.

    Ive read a few of tom browns books and it seems like he really knows what hes doing. But ive never reallyresearched him.

    I like Cody, Les, and Dave Canterbury in that order.

    Where did you list Crashdive and our own "Rick"

    Anyone that has been on this board that long is survivalist
    Surivial is just an unplanned adventure when you are prepared

    LOL! Well honestly I don't watch T.V.. so I don't know who any of them are. Except Less and that dumba** Grilled Bear guy, and thats only because I was at someones house who watching them.

    So who ever is alive in 300 years gets my vote. Notice I didn't say 30,000...people don't live that long silly!!!!

    I can personally attest to Crash's woodsmanship and veggie-wad building poweress. He also snores loud enough to keep the boogie man and the local coyote pack at bay.

    In addition he is always the first one up and has a pot of coffee going before daylight. Those TV guys don't even remember to bring coffee, much less get up at 5am to get it hot for you!

    You can go with Less and eat bugs, go with Bear and drink pee, or go with Tom Brown and hide in Canada from '69-'76, or you can pick Crash, eat well, have good coffee and hear tales of Captain Nemo and the cold war boomer service.

    I think I'll pick Crash.

    I've never camped with Rick, but he hasn't banned me yet so that says he has infinate patience. Maybe next year.
    If you didn't bring jerky what did I just eat?

    Default best survivalists

    Benjamin Church, Robert Rogers, Kit Carson, Jim Bridger, Sacagawea, Dave Canterbury, and Cody Lundin , can't forget the one who made survival popular on t.v Les Stroud. Could name more but will class it as Native Americans.
