Man vs. Wild show.

The title gives a good hint as to what you'll be seeing. Man vs Wild? Learn the skills that allow you to live with Ma Nature, but if you try and fight her, she will always win.
 
If that is the one with the guy named, “Bear” I saw the one shot in the Rockys a couple of weeks ago and thought it was pretty bad. Discovery.com has a chat board in the survival section where it has been panned pretty hard as well. Many things seemed staged and some viewers are convinced the host has a flotation device under shirt while body surfing the river to make better time out of the wild. There are many needlessly dangerous things, jumping off a cliff, a claimed 40 ft. drop iirc into the river with water of an unknown depth, running down a steep hillside of loose soil and small rocks, breaking camp and running in the middle of the night because he hears something that may be a bear. I also found it odd that he mentioned the need to boil drinking water, but rinsed some roots in the river and while still dripping water ate them.

I know this show has yet to air but this thread has come back from the dead. Folks it's TV. Nuff said?
 
seemed like it would be worth watching....i'd rather watch a staged survival show than alot of the other stuff on TV.
 
Whatever else he may prove to be, Bear Grylles seems to have mastered the art of self-promotion.:D
 
Obviously they want to try and appeal to the masses, Hollywood it up. But there may still be some good info in there. Like Mears show.
