Man vs. Tame

I'm a big fan of the shows "Survivorman" and "Man vs. Wild". The first is hosted by a Canadian man (Les Stroud) who goes off alone into the wild to survive. He lugs his camera equipment in and often leaves one to take a shot of him going off into the distance or climbing a cliff. After he gets done, he has to hike back or climb up or down to retrieve his camera gear.

"Man vs. Wild" stars a guy (Bear Grylls) who was once a member of British special forces. He has a camera crew follow him, so it doesn't seem to be as dangerous as what Survivorman does, but he DOES do some crazy stuff, like eating scorpions or crawling into a dead camel for warmth.

Still, there have been some criticisms of Grylls
