What a douche!

Omg I know right. I mean the cameraman has a safety harnass on the entire time and safety ropes, etc. but he's still doing practically the same stuff. Yeah he might not eat bear sh!t or drink his own piss, but he has to lug the camera around. Bear is usually the first one to jump off the edge of something into water and gives the all clear to the cameraman that he's not going to die, but the cameraman still has to jump too. Bear Grylls gets to say tons of awesome things on camera like "chilly perkins" and "slippy" and the cameraman has to stay quiet the whole time. So not fair!

What a total douche.

I think you're misunderstood what Bear is trying to get across. The show has a message before it starts, clarifying that Bear is followed and at times helped by his camera crew. What many don't seem to understand, is the fact that Man vs Wild is a survival/How to guide. It isn't a reality television show, no one is risking their life just for entertainment.

Also, isn't the camera man doing the same thing hes doing enough proof that it works? People complain that what he does it either too dangerous or not fool proof. If a camera man can do it anyone can do it. But again, it isn't a show about stranding yourself in a secluded island to fend for yourself and watch as the host of the show either nearly makes it or dies trying. This is the very same reason Les Stroud stopped doing his show. Its tasking to do EVERYHING by yourself, my hat goes off to him.

Lastly, Mantracker teaches the audience nothing, it is the prime example of reality TV. A show made for people who just want to see this pseudo running man series that isn't informative but "fun" to watch. Theres a major difference between, survival and running to the end of the finish line. You either need to see more episodes of Man vs Wild, or do some research.

Calling a guy who climbed Mt Everest in his 20's, and was in the SAS a douche, sounds like sour grapes to me.

"One gay beer for my friend, because he's gay, and one normal beer for me, because I'm normal."

ok... 1 thing.... DUMBASS

OP you are the biggest douche around. OK lets use your idea LETS MAKE A FU#%ING SHOW WITHOUT CAMERAS!!! YAAAA lets have him capture his experience with his mind we then use cables and attach them to his brain and transfer his experience to a media device.

OBVIOUSLY HE HAS A CAMERAMAN YOU DOUCHE!!!! FOR OBVIOUS F%^ING REASONS YOU DOUCHE!!! JESUS CHRIST ALLLLL MIGHTY!!!!

Another obvious thing is research YAAAA THEY DO RESEARCH on the location and they scout best locations to cover to make it more entertaining and educational I mean isn't that the point of any F%^ING SHOW to be entertaining.


And if he does hurt himself HELP IS MILES AWAY U NUMB NUTS, dude cuts a major artery ohhh yaaaaa lets operate in the jungle, dude gets a seizure ohhhh yaaaaaa lets stabilize him with are equipment in the middle of the ocean!!!, dude gets a hart attach oh yaaaa lets zap the fool with are defibrillator while he is hanging off a cliff.

If any serious injury were to happen you can have 30 helicopters on standby your a$$ is still gonna die before you get to the hospital.

Also some idiot said

I had no idea! I'm glad were on the same page. Some people are such idiots and its nice to know there's at least one person out there who isn't.

No S$%T Sherlock how do you think those images end up on your TV magic? THROUGH A FING CAMERA!!! Its this magical device that captures images at variable rate, you have the internet just type in camera and you will find all sorts of cool and magical stuff about this device.
