you miss the whole point. It has always been very clear that MvW is to demonstrate how to get out of an extreme situation. the ONLY controversy is that in the first 2 seasons they didn't have explicit cut cards stating that he received assistance or on occasion stayed in a base camp or cabin. But at the end of the day, it was still Gryllis jumping into that river or eating a yak eyeball.
If you're lost in the mountains and near a trail, sure, you sit it out. But if your plane crashes in the middle of the desert and no one knows where you are or is looking for you, you MUST be proactive.
Gryllis jumps into quicksand to demonstrate how to get out of you ever encounter it. He jumps into a sub-freezing lake to show you how to get out and recover once you do.
Obviously 99% of people will never encounter either situation, but if you do, having watched MvW gives you a chance because he shows you how to handle it.
Stroud doesn't show anything like that.
