Ray Mears is a naturalist not a survivalist in my opinion. He has no military training that I'm aware of, and dawdles along the trail like he out for a Sunday stroll. Bear Grylls in contrast, is a former SAS trooper, survival instructor, and medic. He doesn't dawdle, and moves from point A to B as quickly as possible. In a real survival situation that's what you'd need to do. I agree, some of the things he does are just for dramatic effect, but that's TV.
