I agree with you, Flounder. He is talented. I would like to see him film his own show with no support crew. I think he will start acting a lot more like Les Stroud. BTW, that everest show was very cool.

The fact that he walks back and forth setting up cameras is what makes his show no less unrealistic than what Bear Grilles does. Bear Grilles takes more risks but it makes the show more entertaining.

Walking back and forth to set up cameras is an unfortunate side effect of taking an unsupported, hence more realistic, approach. IMO.

I would love to hear some of BG's stories, though. I bet he's had some doosies!

He has his own support crew around at all times, he just doesn't ever let the viewer become aware of that like Bear does. When he is ready to be picked up they are there in a matter of minutes.

I agree, I am sure Bear has some epic stories.
