-Isn't it convenient that when they need fuel for their tractor, they just happen to figure out that the fat from pigs can be boiled down and used for fuel? Hey, remember those rotting pigs we saw a couple days ago!?? How convenient!

-Isn't it convenient that, just when they think their batteries will run out while using the welder, they are able to get the welding completed in order to charge aforementioned batteries?

-Isn't it convenient that they happened to find grease pens to use for drawing plans and schematics on a window that just happens to be see-through AND tinted so cameras can film from behind?

-Isn't it convenient that when they went hunting for snakes in the Louisiana Bayou, they didn't encounter any poisonous snakes? Isn't it convenient that Jim felt totally at ease with the first snake and grabbed it by it's head without any concern for being bitten?

It was made clear in season 1 that they are effectively given projects to accomplish by the production team, so no, none of it is "convenient" it is staged and they say it's staged.

As for the snakes. I think you're reaching. They couldn't guarantee there'd be no poisonous snakes. Even if they spent an hour combing the area with a team of snake catchers another one could have slithered up while they were filming.
