I could care less if people call him a "fake" or whatever. He still does more stuff than any of the other "survivor people".
He executes the stuff, although he has like 4 camera people that research the stuff and tell him what to do, how to do it, and how not to forget it up.
Survivorman does stuff by himself, and I could care less that his camerawork is unprofessional because atleast it's realistic.
Matter of opinion really, whether you want actual situations of survival by a single person or a person that is showing you how to survive if stuff were to happen to you.
And somebody is comparing my show to Survivorman. Better drink my own piss.
edit: damn, somebody beat me to the bear grylls meme :s
