No one tops Bear Grylls in that field. He drinks his own wee onto victory as everyone else starves.

and Aragorn can run for three days and nights without stopping then ride another four days and still be in good enough shape to beat up Theodins Guards?

Aragorn was averaging something like 22-30 miles a day- for comparison Bear Grylls who was a British spec ops guy and a war vet IIRC- in his prime at full gear could march something like 15-20 miles in a forced march out of desperation for about sixteen hours before needing rest- This is with a limited rations order and sleep

Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli did this for days without anything..as for his survival skills guy can read an entire battle from a single blade of grass due to some funky Elf kung fu Elrond taught him

Conan is even worse guy ran across the Chinese desert into the middle east and did this inside of several months months..it took well trained Roman legionaires (who could march about as well as Bear can by the way) backing up a Roman trade mission about two years to do that

Conan and Subutai were running top human speed for about 8-12 hours a day with stops for hunting along the way..and they'd be just as good survivalists- oh and when I say top speed i mean they were running fastest man in the world Olympic Gold medalist level speed constantly for 12 hours a day and laughing and carrying on conversations Bear could not do that..you don't march at top speed and you certainly don't average twenty miles an hour..you average that a day if you're lucky - these guys were doing it per hour while teasing each other

oh and I'm just using movie feats here if I got into the Howard or Tolkien stories it'd be worse

Well no that guy and Les Stroud from survivor man are both military black ops trained experts who did IIRC actually participate in combat

so they are experts and they are actually pretty dangerous men..the problem is Bear is up against an 87 year old border line telepath who has been fighting in wars and living in the wilderness since he was 11 years old (Aragorn rode to battle as a boy his father and mother were killed in combat- he was a Captain of Gondor when he was 18 and a fought with the King of Rohan Theodens grandfather when Theoden was like 8 or 9 and Theoden was in his late sixties in the movie/book)

and Conan who spent his entire life in the wild

and both of them are super humanly strong and durable compared to Bear

and this isn't even touching Achilles from the Troy film who can throw a spear well over a quarter of a mile with enough force to lift a man off a horse and hurl him about ten feet and was basically aim dodging dozens of arrows

or..Xena who is also someone who can survive in the wilderness..is superhumanly strong and has a weapon that like Conan and Aragorns swords can carve up conventional metal easily

oh and then there's Rambo..who is superior to him at everything lol

Basically he's like a template prototype version and these characters are the masters finished painting or bust

Bear Grylls can do that! Just give him some wee to drink.

Aragorn was averaging something like 22-30 miles a day- for comparison Bear Grylls who was a British spec ops guy and a war vet IIRC- in his prime at full gear could march something like 15-20 miles in a forced march out of desperation for about sixteen hours before needing rest- This is with a limited rations order and sleep

But with his wee drinking powers, he has a limitless supply of stamina.

Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli did this for days without anything..as for his survival skills guy can read an entire battle from a single blade of grass due to some funky Elf kung fu Elrond taught him

Bear Grylls can read the entire history of the universe by sipping upon his wee, which is the nectar of existance.

Conan is even worse guy ran across the Chinese desert into the middle east and did this inside of several months months..it took well trained Roman legionaires (who could march about as well as Bear can by the way) backing up a Roman trade mission about two years to do that

But they lack the wee drinking feats of Bear Grylls. Bear drinks it and the desert compresses itself into a 2 meter span of dust in his presence.

Conan and Subutai were running top human speed for about 8-12 hours a day with stops for hunting along the way..and they'd be just as good survivalists- oh and when I say top speed i mean they were running fastest man in the world Olympic Gold medalist level speed constantly for 12 hours a day and laughing and carrying on conversations Bear could not do that..you don't march at top speed and you certainly don't average twenty miles an hour..you average that a day if you're lucky - these guys were doing it per hour while teasing each other

Bear does it while teasing them, running backwards, sipping on a teacup of his own wee. You don't understand the limitless engine of energy that comes from Bear and that cup. Its beyond comprehension.

oh and I'm just using movie feats here if I got into the Howard or Tolkien stories it'd be worse

If I gave him two cups of his own wee, the entirety of existance would be reformed in his image.

Well no that guy and Les Stroud from survivor man are both military black ops trained experts who did IIRC actually participate in combat

He carries a cantine of his own brew just as a nod to his olden days.

so they are experts and they are actually pretty dangerous men..the problem is Bear is up against an 87 year old border line telepath who has been fighting in wars and living in the wilderness since he was 11 years old (Aragorn rode to battle as a boy his father and mother were killed in combat- he was a Captain of Gondor when he was 18 and a fought with the King of Rohan Theodens grandfather when Theoden was like 8 or 9 and Theoden was in his late sixties in the movie/book)

Bear has his wee to drink, there is nothing to fear for him.

and Conan who spent his entire life in the wild

See above.

and both of them are super humanly strong and durable compared to Bear

Until he takes a sip of his wee. Then he becomes an omnipotent.

and this isn't even touching Achilles from the Troy film who can throw a spear well over a quarter of a mile with enough force to lift a man off a horse and hurl him about ten feet and was basically aim dodging dozens of arrows

Bear doesn't need to dodge. He sips his own wee and the arrows would deflect off of his sheer manliness. As for throwing a spear, the enemies throw themselves off of the horses once they realize what immense power they face.

or..Xena who is also someone who can survive in the wilderness..is superhumanly strong and has a weapon that like Conan and Aragorns swords can carve up conventional metal easily

But can it carve up a wee-powered Bear Grylls? I think not.

oh and then there's Rambo..who is superior to him at everything lol

I bet Bear can best him in a wee-drinking contest.

Basically he's like a template prototype version and these characters are the masters finished painting or bust

I wouldn't expect you to know of the power of the Bear. This isn't even a contest, Bear could take on all of the other districts running on a half cup and trump every last one of them.
