i just started watching it on DVD yesterday. I've seen a couple of them before when I was at my friend's house ( I don't have cable ) and I love watchign this show. It's very interesting, and I can't believe all the crap this guy puts himself in just to educate and entertain us.

Survivor Man is the only one worth watching. Man vs. Wild is all fake and he stays in hotels when the camera isn't rolling.

It is okay, but Survivorman is 10x more hardcore. I just cannot get into Man Vs Wild knowing that he has a full camera crew following him.

I really don't think so, there is no way he flies out on helicopters to local hotels and back every night, and 99% of the places he goes to don't have hotels for thousands of miles.

I really do like Man vs Wild... it's informative, and is alot more intense. A litte more than disgusting a times though.

However, I've never even seen Surivivor Man so I can't compare.

Yes. It is usually on before MVW. It is an ACTUAL survival show and there is no crew. He does all his own filming and actually has to survive for a week.

Actually yes he does. It is well documented and he mentions it all the time. He isn't in the middle of nowhere. Generally there is a place to stay within 20 miles.

Stop with all the man vs wild bashing. It's a demonstration of how to survive, it's a guide, not the real thing. He still eats all that nasty stuff, builds his shelters etc.

Well damn... that sorta saps the enjoyment of the show for me. Oh well, I still find it interesting. I'll have to keep an eye open for Survivor Man so I can give that a shot.

hooray for mis information ftw. He actually only did that once, and it isnt all fake, other then one night in a hotel, the rest is real. Not to mention how about doing some research on Bear Grylls, the guy is awesome, British Special Forces, climbed mount Everest, raised tons of money for foundations doing crazy things. The guy is awesome and a lot better then Survivor Man because all he teaches you is how to survive in a perfect situation in which you can sit and wait for help where as Grylls actually teachs what to do in serious situations.

Survivior man is so incredibly boring! I remember one time he was in te Artic and he was sitting in his shelter and he said I am going to leave this bone here and hope a bird drops by and I can catch it. And then it's like 6 hours later and he's still there with the bone and no bird.

Well you hve to take MVW for what it is. It is demonstration of what you can do in certain situations. It is nothing more than a visual survivor guide. Which is still good.

Ok, well from what i'm gathering, Man Vs Wild is a better show to watch while Survivor Man is more real. I would say that the reason why Bear Grylls recieves occasional help is because he's a heavily invested in property and Discovery Channel doesn't want to lose him. From what I've seen, he does do a lot of REAL stuff on camera, and I'm happy with it.

yes, also he does say that the crew is there to help in dangerous situations. The problem with Survivor Man is the fact that he does it alone. People say its more realistic and what not, well tell me who its any better/realistic/or true survival skills (like saving energy and time) when he places the camera down, walks like half a mile to get a shot...then has to walk all the way back, get that camera, and then walk that half mile again, all the time carrying camera equipment.

Yeah it is, and the guy films the whole thing himself. I like Man vs. Wild better because of its higher production values and better quality. Some of the stuff in Man vs Wild is fake, but most is real. They'll tell you when something isn't genuine.

Dude it's a scripted show, everything is scripted, they set up shots and he does them. It's just there to teach you how things are done. He doesn't just go out there and his crew follows him around, they find shots, locations etc, they plan to do something he does it, then they take a break and move to another location via jeep or car. Then they just crop all the clips together at the end.

What i don't get about the show is that he doesn't have anything at all (spare clothes, food, transportation, etc) yet he has a tv crew with him.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they're there to film the show. Bear does do real stuff on camera, because I don't see how falling down a waterfall, jumping into freezing waters, eating raw fish and freshly killed by a lion zebra can be fake.

Do I seriously have to search youtube for you or are you just that lazy..

http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Man+vs+Wild+is+Fak

Plus how to you explain how they get the shot of him swimming across a lake, or from below and above while he climbs down a steep cliff, or shots from a mile away. Use some 4th Grade Logic.

Both shows are, Bear does more intense stuff id say but he always has his camera crew and people with him, while survivorman on the other hand does more realistic things which arent as extreme but he is always alone.

It's pretty educational. I don't care for the level of realism of the situations he puts himself into, as long as I know what to do if I'm in his shoes.

lol. ill stat by saying there was like only 3 videos in that link that had anything to do with him faking it or showed any evidence that could prove it is fake. Also none of those proved your point of him driving to locations or it being scripted. Also its known by all who watch that show that he has a crew who video tapes him, they set up shoots yes, but that doesnt mean he doesnt do them himself and it has nothing to do with him driving around and staying in hotels. Also lets not start talking about setting up shots here, i mean even Survivor Man does it, and he does it without a crew causing him to waste time and energy. And why should I have to look for information to prove your argument...im lazy lol, you wouldnt even back yourself up until I argued against it...nice try though.
