    That has gotten worse with all the “survivalist” shows acting like its easy to survive with just a knife and fig leaf in the wild.

    They see a show grab some gear and off they go. Not realizing those shows are often fake and when not, the star has many years of actual experience and training.

      I’m a huge fan of Alone, but would never in a million years think I could do it. Those people are literally survival teachers or Bushmen/women who have done this their entire lives and even then only make it 20 or so days before calling to gtfo.

      This is incredibly sad.

      I didn’t watch a lot of him but I enjoyed Les Stroud’s Survivorman.
