Who would you rather go geocaching with....

May 18, 2010

if your GPS ran out of batteries and you were lost - and you still wanted to find your cache: Les Stroud or Bear Grylls?

May 18, 2010

neither, I would love to cache with Mantracker.

I suspect this show may only be in Canada, so here's a link if you haven't seen it. http://www.mantracker.ca/

May 18, 2010

That's a very interesting question! I remember the shenanigans a while ago between the two.

I would have to say Les Stroud. Bear Grylls is great but I think Les is better.

Ernest Shackleton. Those other two are hacks in comparison :grin:

Mostly Canada, but I recall one that was on Bear Mountain in California.

Sir Henry Morton Stanley!

Finding a moving "cache" after a 7,000 mile trek through mostly unmapped territory is a feat, indeed!

... and no GPSr, too boot!

Sidenote: Mantracker is/was on in the States, haven't seen it for a while.

Bear for the eye candy and eye candy alone. I'll find my own caches but wouldn't mind him leading the way.

Les - easy win.

Bear is a dangerous buffoon.

May 18, 2010

Bear definitely! At least if we got lost for a few days Bear would be able to find food. Poor Les sometimes goes awhile without catching anything.

May 18, 2010

As I have no idea who those two persons are, I'm going to have to go with Shackleton as well. Sir Stanley would also be a very handy person to have along. as would Sir Edmund Hillary.

While I think he's got the skills, I doubt I could stand spending time with that guy.

Well, there IS that part. I know some people who insist that he's only playing "The Game" and he's probably not like that in real life...Yeah...Whatever.

Les Stround hands down. Bear Grylls seems more of "how to descend waterfalls when it is completely unnecessary, when you could just walk around".

Having watched his reactions on the season finale, I doubt he's 'only playing the game.' He's a furk.

Back to the OP: Either one of those guys would muggle the cache and use the contents to build some sort of survival gadget. I wouldn't let them anywhere near a cache.

May 19, 2010

My choice would be (a) Cav Scout. Proven in combat and navigated under fire using only a map and compass.

Now lets see the reality actors do that

May 19, 2010

"furk"?

On topic, I'd rather cache with the girl from that HeadSplinters movie...it's not about the find but the fun

May 19, 2010

I choose Les - Bear is a bit too matcho for my taste.

"furk"?

Yep. I sorta made it up, but am pleased to see it is in the Urban Dictionary, and at least a couple of the possible definitions are close to what I intended.

I just finished watching that. Literally. I have to agree.

May 19, 2010

I'd pick Les. All Bear does is stay in hotel rooms.

Never work. If no man has gone there before, there's obviously no cache there.

I'm not gay (not that there's anything wrong with that) but I would pick the professor.

He could make a GPS out of a coconut if he wanted to.

I mean really.. he was MacGuyver before there was a MacGuyver!

Les, hands down. That dude rules.

May 19, 2010

Don't know the guys mentioned... but since other people have thrown out historical names, I would have no reservations in having Tom Crean as my wingman. He walked solo 56 km's across the Ross Ice Shelf (on 3 biscuits and a stick of chocolate) to save Edward Evans of the disastrous Robert Falcon Scott expedition to the South Pole.

bear would be useless in that scenario. if you were lost, how would roomservice find him?

May 19, 2010

I love all of the posts here! (even if some are relatively off-topic ) nTo answer my own question it would have to be Les Stroud. The dude lives off of practically nothing while filming his excursions by himself. I actually get worried for him in some episodes like when he gets heat stroke. Dude is for real.

When I actually say that out loud - I realize I'd push him off a cliff before we ever found any cache....

Just make sure you're not wearing a red shirt if you are on a caching expedition with William Shatner.

Never heard of either one. Who the heck are they? I'll go with my wife like Cotati suggests. My wife for me, his for him just to clear up any misconceptions from that.

I wonder how many people will get that?

I'd pick Les. Bear is a phony and I can't get the image of him wringing liquid out of elephant dung. Stay away from me, poop boy!

I got it too which I guess makes us super nerds. We geocache and know too much about Star Trek.

Bear Grylls because he has beaucoup rewards points at the Hyatt, and we could celebrate in high style after finding (or not finding) the cache.

High praise. :cry: Anytime buddy!

I had fun cachin' with you too. BTW I'll be in the Bay area in a few weeks, but the only cache I have planned is Columba.

Of the other 2 it would be a toss up, but I plan to look for Criminal at GW8.

Personally, I'd like to cache with GroundskeeperWillie over the 2 guys listed in the OP. I'm a big trek fan, but I don't take it too seriously.

I'd like to go geocaching with Lindsay Lohan.

Really.

I think she needs the sun and air and to get away from it all.

Take her on a good Death March to show her how good just a plain bottle of water and a Clif bar can be.
