    That "Best Survivor" question with a poll

    Here you can find a poll with an almost complete list of survival personalities with that age old question of who would last the longest or get out first.

    http://www.facebook.com/questions/515018281863025

    Currently, Dave Canterbury is leading with Ray Mears and Lofty jostling for second place.

    Personally, I think Les Stroud should be in the running.

    Without a question someone few of you have ever heard of....Norwegian Lars Monsen...perhaps my biggest inspiration to get out there.

    What about Mors Korchanski..? He should be in the list.
    Ranulph Fiennes would last the longest out of that lot, cos he just does not do failure

    I trust it was you who added him to the list FF.

    Mors is as old as Lofty I'd love to see them both out there. First thing they'd carve would be a walking stick

    Lol.. Mors has more energy than most people I know, he is incredible, and full of passion for what he teaches..
