this show is so fake just like survivor man


from the first episode, there is no water source? there are deer on the island for god's sake. they have to drink something. this island is definitely not deserted. and his film crew is on the island just out of sight. this is a tv show. you think he's really alone on the island when no one can ever know if he's alone or not? it's so stupid that people think les stroub actually sleeps in a pile of leaves. after the camera stops rolling, his crew comes out and they all sleep in sleeping bags and eat a hot meal.

And is it neccessary for him to be but naked?

so you would rather see his bulge and skidmarks than a pixelated area?

animals get the majority of their water from the plants and animals they consume, of course their film and medical crews are within a safe distance, Les and Ed are of the very few guys on a survival show that actually sleep out there and do this on their own, bear grylls, dual survival, even naked and afraid get assistance and even set up shots, you made great assumptions though

ok but where's your proof? my proof is the obvious common sense that nobody would suffer needlessly when nobody can ever know if they suffered or not. in fact, it would be stupid for les stroub to suffer needlessly. he's not a priest or something. he doesn't need to secretly do good deeds. he's on a tv show. it's not immoral for him to sleep in a tent.

he could sleep in a tent or a nearby hotel, but if he ever got caught or if a crew member ratted him out he would really shoot himself in the leg, his t.v. shows, music, merchandizing, organizations, the following he has is there because he's the one guy out of everybody that's the real deal, he looks like he's sleeping out there to me, you can hear it in his voice and see it in his eyes, the soreness and misery, he'll admit when the crew has to intervene also and most other people won't, he's also been trying to take other people out there with him for a week if discovery ever lets him, that seems pretty ballsy if he's a fake

how is he going to get ratted out? nobody ever ratted out bear grylls. he got caught sleeping at a hotel. his crew is not so deluded as most of the idiots who watch the show. they know it's just a tv show and it probably pays handsomely. they're probably friends with les too. they would be the biggest idiots if they sabotage their own careers for something that they don't even care about. it's a show. les stroub isn't a prophet or something and his disciples has to live with the guilt that they know he's false.
