I am sure that most are aware that there has been some recent accusations about the show MAN VS. WILD and Bear Grylls, it's host. There have been claims that Grylls was not 'roughin' it as the show seemed to imply and that he was staying at hotels and not really exposed to the elements. The whole debate and issue is ridiculous in my mind, simply because there is no point in making a survival show if you don't survive and in EXTREME cases if you have to stay in a hotel in order to live, than so be it. A true survivalist always knows how to play-it-smart and will not test the boundaries without a certain amount of certainty and they know what those are better than anyone else.

The purpose of MAN VS. WILD is to give practical advice on what to do in certain circumstances ranging from being in blizzards, swamps, deserts, etc. These places truly show nature at it's worst and it's very easy to get killed in the process, it's no different than the Crocodile Hunter...you have to know when to call it quits.

Anyone else have some thoughts???
