Bear Grylls; Man Vs. Wild

So I'd like to take this time to address an unusual intolerance for Bear Grylls and the Man Vs. Wild show on the Discovery Channel. Regardless of the camera crew and emergency help Bear gets when creating the show, we can learn a lot from it. Let's face it, it's entertaining. If it wasn't, it wouldn't be on TV. Second; The show is about proactive survival. Les Stroud, from Survivorman is about maintaining yourself whilst waiting and relying on rescue. Clearly waiting on rescue is for the kind of person that is okay with their fate resting in someone else's hands.

In conclusion, the people that scrutinize about how authentic the Man Vs. Wild show is, are the same people that scrutinize the accuracy of star trek episodes. Nerd-bombs that are in no physical condition to survive themselves.

Education is what you get from reading the fine print. Experience is what you get from not reading it.
