Man vs Wild... a survival show
The show is great... I love it but why do they have to make the guy appear as if he is coming up with all those survival ideas himself? Why are we led to believe that he is facing real danger at every turn?... we know why.. because it sells..
in reality, he's just someone on a camping trip being followed by a camera crew.
I'd bet a months pay that a pre-production team will visit a location ahead of him and map out all the resources in the area and pass along any knowledge of the flora and fauna and location of resources.
Survivorman les stroud seems have a more honest approach.
