2 parts in episodes seem to stick out. I'm not even going to acknowledge the bigfoot episodes.
1. Where he happens to find the lighter full of fluid right on the rock on the beach. I know it showed a rust mark on the rock but that seemed WAY too convenient.
2. In behind the scenes when he talks about filming "Alaska" and his bigfoot encounter he talks about.

I do believe it. Walk a mile or two along any beach, I guarantee you'll find at least one lighter and it will probably have fluid it in.

I agree with you regaring beaches near civilization but a remote island in the Pacific seemed a bit of a stretch. IT is possible though, but just thought it seemed very convenient. It also doesn't take long to create rust marks. I am not saying it is impossible or that wasn't legit, it was a little questionable.

Lighter's float. It's actually a huge problem. Lots of birds will eat them, floating on the surface thinking that they are fish.

The main culprit are always lighters. In the middle of nowhere in a remote island, scores and scores of birds dead from eating lighters.
