Exactly. Here's why:
He doesn't fucking kill shit just for the lulz, take a bite then throw it on the ground. He actuall immerses himself IN the environment, shoots his own stuff (making him have to walk every mile like 3 times over). He uses everything he can in the environment and makes do IN A REALISTIC WAY. Sure Bear Grylls does crazy shit that's fun to watch, but the average person CAN'T SCALE A FUCKIGN TREE BY HAND TO CROSS AN ALLIGATOR INFESTED RIVER. Doing it Bear's way will get your dumbass killed for trying. Les Stroud fucking eats dead fish on the shore to make it through.
Honestly my main complaint about Bear is that he doesn't give realistic tips most of the time ad he ALWAYS KILLS SHIT FOR NO REASON. I once saw him bite the head off a snake, explain how tender the belly meat is, take another bite and then chuck it back onto the ground...
