So what if some of the show is staged! Any intelligent person could deduce that. I look at it like a training film. Its the information conveyed that is important. Who knows? Anyone of us could be stuck in the Gobi Desert without a pot, right?

“We just drop you into a lot of different hellholes equipped with nothing, and you do what you have to do to survive.”

I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express® last night.

In all of these type shows including Survivor where they are starving and no water etc. and in real danger, who do you think is recording it on film?? I would say it’s pretty hard to die from thirst with a whole camera and sound crew a few feet away.

I roughed it out once at the Bellagio and had a Bloody Mary with vodka from the well.

I almost broke down, right there in the bar off the lobby.

It’s one of my favorites. Each show is a reminder how many wonderful, amazing places there are in the world—God’s handiwork on display, if you will.

In another episode viewers watched as Grylls tried to coax an apparently wild mustang into a lasso in the Sierra Nevada. “I’m in luck,” he told viewers, apparently coming across four wild horses grazing in a meadow. “A chance to use an old native American mode of transport comes my way. This is one of the few places in the whole of the US where horses still roam wild.”

Especially since there are no wild horses in the Sierra, they are found at the foot of the White Mountains, 20 miles east of the High Sierra.

His episode where he parachuted into north scottish highlands right when a storm was about to hit was amazing. He skinned a dead deer and used the fur as a blanket to sleep with. He wasn’t sleeping in a holiday inn that night.
He teaches all kinds of great information. That episode was all good tricks to stay warm and find food and water.
I don’t see the problem if for some of the episodes, he crashed at a nearby hotel.

Big frickin deal.

I am not sure, but I don’t think a feral horse would let someone approach it the way he did.

He’s a hunk, masculine, Christian, and good guy.

What’s not to tear down?!

He’s like a moving target.

I enjoy this show. Anyone with a brain larger than a walnut realizes there is a camera crew with him, and some of it is staged. Duh...

But a TV station with smaller-than-walnut-brain-people want to investigate this? What next, investigate TV starlets with fake hair and boobs? Where will it end?
