I think that there’s some staging involved with that show too. I remember one episode in particular filmed in the AZ desert. One important part of that episode involved his search for water. He had to trek quite a distance to find a little spring. IIRC, he didn’t find water until the third day out.

At the beginning of each show, they give the latitude and longitude where they drop him. I got curious and looked up the spot on Google Earth. Then I turned on the layer indicating where known water sources are. The spot where he started out was about 500 yards west of a water source. There was another in the opposite direction about 1000 yards away. A third was located to the south, also about 1000 yards away. So which way did he go? North. And it looked like he had to dodge one tank in that direction too, as well as a few houses along the way! North was also the only direction he could go without hitting a road within a few miles.

First time I watched him try and build a fire I like to have split a gut. LOL

He should have practiced somewhere?
