That's what I thought too and was skeptical of the whole thing, but now I'm like it, this guy is such a G it has to be real. Camera guy is just taping it that's it.
Damn straight.

how does bear grylls climb a cliff using "hard" techniques, and the camera man is right behind him when he gets to the top?
other than that, the show is bomb! it is the best show on TV.
also, how does he make so many episodes? in a year from now, do you think he'll still be doing this...i hope so. it's kinda like laguna beach... awesome!
He says at the start of several episodes that he'll have a small camera crew following him, but that they're not allowed to assist him unless he's in "extreme danger." I think he also wears one of those cameras that attatches to his waist for things like mountain and tree climbing. I've seen "survivor man" wearing a similar one.
but then when he gets to the top, the long distance view of him shows. maybe he waits while the film crew walks 25 miles to get up?
Laguna beach? WTF!?
I'm thinking maybe the really badass one is the cameraman.
Survivor Man >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Man Vs. Wild
I don't know which one I like better.
Bear Grylls has more personality.
laguna beach OWNED
The MAN!
Cash Cab is very good too you can actually sit down and watch this show while eating dinner with the family.
mythbusters is the worst show on discovery
I like Survivor man, he does not have a film crew, he shoots his own footage
Yes he does.I like Survivor man, he does not have a film crew, he shoots his own footage

I just say the Australian outback episode, well most of it where he drinks his own piss..........WTF!!!

No, but I do it anyway because it's sterile and I like the taste."

Yea...i just picture the camera man watching him. Holding a bad ass ice cold bottle of evian or something.
Damn Bear...drinkin your own piss? Want some evian?? "no you dolt! im a survivor!"
I concur
Bear does have a handheld. If you watched the mountain episode, you see him carrying an all weather camera. Its slightly larger than any other handheld and safety yellow.
So those shots you see of the treetops, etc are from Bear carrying that thing up with him.
I love the show. The absolute best part of the entire program for me are the multiple ways he starts a fire and the multiple ways he finds direction (ie north, west, south and east).
Those two things are basically all youll ever really need in a survivor situation. Food and water you will find when youre hungry and thirsty enough.
When he was in Mexico, he found a little piece of metal. He rubbed it on his head to magnatize it and he placed it on a leaf floating on water. It worked like a compass because it gave a true Noth/South direction.
I was impressed.
He does have a camera crew? Where on line?

Living off the land takes on a new meaning when wilderness survival expert and filmmaker Les "Survivorman" Stroud spends nine harrowing weeks alone in a variety of survival simulations.
Stroud's idea of a nature outing is probably a little different from yours and mine: he takes off alone and heads to a punishing corner in the back of beyond with nothing but a few cameras to do ent his (often miserable) experiences. From the frozen Arctic pack ice to the fetid jungles of Central America, Survivorman highlights Stroud's extraordinary self-reliance and survival skills. In each episode he is set down in a deserted wilderness and left to fend entirely for himself with no food, no fresh water, no shelter and no matches.
My bad.
Mea Culpa.
I was reading the wrong site.
According to Wikipedia, he does go at it alone.

I guess this gives him a one up on Bear Grylls.
