Would Les bring another person with him on Survivorman?

I'm sure my wife would want to be there as well. She's at least made a bow fire, whereas I make sure I'm never without matches.

He did do Snowshoes and solitude with his wife; however, I just dont see this happening in Survivorman.

I'd like to see numbers for sure, but I suspect that it is the rare survival situation that is a lone one. I tried looking for statistics on this type of thing about 6 months ago and came up empty. I was aware of the one year in the bush thing, so that's why I imagined that Les' wife might not be totally against it. Sometimes I think we need to wonder if we are subliminally thinking of the women as the weaker sex.

Good point, I think it would be interesting if Les did a mini series of surviving in a pair, Wife and Husband. At this point he's only shown solo suvival but nothing about pair survival. Plus it would be nice to see a woman's point of view on survival. Very Happy

Another interesting thing that I've always taken as an axiom is that a pair will usually do twice as much work as a trio. Now no doubt there are exceptions to this, but I wonder if there isn't a truth there that would go for a survival situation as well.

A followup to the above.

Quote:

The most interactivity was observed in pairs. The interaction lessened on the addition of more students or an instructor. This increase in passive behavior is the result of other social processes and psychologic differences becoming more influential. Interestingly, students working alone were not necessarily more passive, because they still interacted with texts—laboratory notes, manuals, and a histology atlas—that require students to probe as they would via verbal communication.

If I was Les I would be like yeah, you can come if you carry all of my camera gear everywhere and also demonstrate what not to do. This could possibly mean leaping before you look, falling into a cravasse without a rope, etc. Having another person with him would only slow him down, just another reason not to bring anyone Very Happy

It would be a great idea, but I don't think it's going to happen soon. On one of the FAQ's he said it's nearly impossible to change things with the show. I suppose they don't want to risk it, and chance the ratings of the show. Confused
