dig this show but only thing that bugs me is most of the makeshift shelters are
for 1 man -so where does the cameraman sleep? or does he get airlifted out each
night?( along with bear to a cosy motel most likelly - then flown back to the
spot and carrys on filming like he slept there all night ) though i have to
say he does take so pretty steep risks on some of his shows - even with all his
saftey gear it can fail - like that one where he climbed into a crevice in that
glazier- that was mad- rope snaps kiss your butt goodbye.

i've also been thinking about what happens with the crew, but i just figured
they had their own supply and probably an arctic tent or something. and i doubt
bear is being flown away. since he often has some comment during the night, like
he hears animals if he's in the jungle or something.

you think because he is on television that nothing can happen to him? :s just
because he is somewhat famous doesn't mean he is invincible.

what about the last episode where he "down climbed" into a viper pit and then a
waterfall using only vines. that seemed ridiculously dangerous to me. if real,
and it was certainly presented as real.
i used to work for the bbc's natural history unit (they make all the david
attenborough stuff) so i know a reasonable amount about location filming.
there's shed loads of health and safety forms to fill in and there's no way
anyone, let alone the presenter, could climb down anything using some raggedy
old vines. but then again this show isn't made by the bbc and perhaps bear's
production company like to bend the rules a bit.
and yeah the cameramen do get helicoptered out at night see this...
so they admitted they stayed at some place twice. so what? this is not a show
you watch to see if bear will survive his challenge. it's about teaching those
who like to travel to adventurous places how to survive should they come in a
critical situation in the wild. i'm starting to think some people watch too many
crap american reality shows where everything is about who makes it to the end.
it's not any less of a show if they get help. and the camera crew is not what
the show is about. this show is about teaching survival techniques to use
in extreme conditions.
bunch of lazy asses. it's fun to point as long as you're not being pointed at.
edit: about the vines, he was not very comfortable about using them, however he
didn't have a rope and it was the only way down.

not many people understand that. it's good to see some actually realize what
this show is about.

i agree with you all. man vs wild is entertaining and bear is an amiable
presenter. i wouldn't do what he does so bugger the minutiae of the shows
production.
happy new year to the entire eztv cosmoverse !

in reply to the person who's got every episode so far. this is a clip show
called something like "bear eats". the narration <i>might</i> be new and there's
loads of new disclaimers but that's all. tis still good tho.

i could care less if the crew or even "bear" got coptered out each night.
the purpose of the show is to show you the dangers of getting stranded in the
wild along with possible ways of surviving the experience, not to actually get
the (might i say) exceedingly fit and hot presenter killed in the process.
look at what pure stupidity & bad luck did to steve irwin. because of his
hubris, he has a devastated widow and 2 innocent kids left without a father. i
always knew irwin was going to get killed or maimed but i expected it to be from
a croc or venomous snake, not a stupid ray.
bear is married and has a greater responsibility to get home safely to his
partner than to be macho for the rest of us schmucks.
