Dumb question, bear/surviroman

in the beginning of these shows bear or survivorman say "just 7 days, all alone".  If they are all alone how come it shows them say, riding a bike?  No way could they ride a bike and film it by themselves like they do.  I call shenanigans!!

I only saw part of that one. A lot of stuff in bears show is staged. He's not really that badass.

Les on survivorman is actually alone. And he lugs around a shitton of weight in cameras and batteries to film it. He set's the cameras up to get different shots then has to go back and grab those cameras. He has a safety team a few miles a week and uses some sort of transponder to communicate once a day so they know he;s good or call for help if he's dead.
But for the most part he does it completely alone.

Survivor man is legit, but bear grills isn't he has a crew that follows him. And survivor man has a safety crew stationed miles and miles away but no contact with them what so ever.

i know that bear is a fake, but he does cool shit and gives solid info, but i always thought survivorman was legit.

but now i am starting to think after many years that they are on a team to keep each other afloat....

i have never considered this before.

les starts with a camera crew, and they usually get a shot of him as he heads off; they will do some copter follow cam, but by night he's alone.

man vs wild is 10 times more entertaining than survivor man, period. Les just sits around with his thumb up his ass, bear jumps of cliffs and climbs fucked up shit and eats shit he would never have to and does stuff he'd never have to, but he does the gnarly shit and creates a way more baller persona that i like to watch.

Seriously, and who cares if Bear has a camera crew.  That makes for way better filming for one, and second of all it doesn't matter if he has a crew when he jumps off cliffs and climbs up them with no safety harnesses.

WHO GIVES A FUCK

its a fucking tv show, its suppose to entertain you. When you analyze everything, question all the shit, you ruin the show and then it doesnt entertain you anymore. If you wanna tear it apart and get pissed about it, then i guess you shouldnt watch it, im still gonan enjoy it and let bear entertain me on the daily.
