Re: Man vs Wild is fake
Also,
Duh. They probably took a week to shoot that 24-48 hours that elapses over the show. If he didn't stay in hotels, he'd actually be doing more than is shown. There are times he goes to climb a tree, then there is a camera shot from another tree. Did you think this was magic? He has a camera crew and obviously it is edited for tv. The dude still bites heads off snakes and was in the SAS. He can obviously do everything he is showing.

Re: Man vs Wild is fake
just based on the camera work its obvious the show isn't that legit, in terms of the his-life-is-constantly-on-the-line aspect of the show.
the show is still informative and interesting. though there are some really cheesy bits every now and again where he plays up how difficult or scary something is when it is obviously very trivial. the show survivor man seems way way more legit. but that may just be because they actually try to cover up their tracks a bit. in terms of educational value, both shows seem to be on par with each other fwiw.

[/ QUOTE ] I don't think they are necessarily as on par with educational value. Man vs. Wild has the occasional good piece of advice from the two shows I have seen, but he takes far too many risks that the average person should not take. He can do this because he is highly trained, has people around in case of emergency and now also stays in hotels at night. Survivorman is much more conservative and representative of a real life survival because there is no safety net for Stroud. If that guy falls and is seriously injured he will not be found for a few days at which time the helicopter will come to find him. He is most certainly all by himself with just the cameras. Maybe he has some secret communication device for emergencies, but this guy seems really serious and I think he does what he says he does. He lived in the woods with barely any materials for a year. So, anyway, in conclusion, I think in terms of learning what you should do in a survival situation you will learn much more what to do and how to stay alive longer if you follow Survivorman, but it doesn't hurt to learn even more from Man vs. Wild.

Nobody knows everything, including all the native plants, their medicinal and nutritive values, and ways available to build things in every environment. There's a fair bit of MacGyver in this show, and he obviously gets help from the show on that.
