Man vs. Wild = Fake

[Silock]

Anyone with half a brain already knew this. Let's see... one episode, he's floating down a river with "only his backpack" as a floatation device. Except for under his clothes, you can clearly see his float vest. Whoops. In another, he says "Well, looks like I have to eat these maggots." Except, they were mealworms, not maggots. Whoops. He crosses a freezing river, soaking him to the bone. In the next shot, his clothes are completely dry. Whoops. His parachute gets tangled in a tree. He says that he has to jump down about 20 feet. Is that shown on camera? Nope. Just a cut shot to him landing, which is clearly NOT a 20 foot drop landing, and he rolls on the ground, panting and in pain. Except, he's not. Whoops.

Survivorman, as a show, is more boring, but it's way more informative. Man vs. Wild is better to watch, but you'd have to be a complete idiot to do some of the things that Bear does in an actual survival situation. Everything Les does, though, you could actually do and not put yourself in any more harm.
