The show is not fake. Many ppl thought it was after they found out what was going on with the show. Man vs Wild was suppose to be him being put in certain situations on purpose and teaching you how to survive in various conditions. It wasn't suppose to be survivor man, which is a little more "reality" tv. I think ppl just got the wrong impression about the show and then deemed it fake when it didn't match their expectations.

Les Stroud is the real deal.

7 days by himself.
Yea, but he's boring. Now Bear Grylls, that's an action packed show!

You know whats not fake? S.A.S. This dude was one of them. He's proven enough to the world, he doesn't need to do it again. Makes the Navy SEALS look like amateurs (except devgru ).

Anyone who thought it was real is dumb. Survivorman is fake as well. Why? Because you can't have a real survivor show unless the subject is truly in fear for his life, and REALLY needs to survive. Les also knows that help is a phone call away.

I like both shows, but they are meant to be education/informational, not reality. Some people are too dumb to understand that ITS TV!!!

I've seen him squeeze elephant dung for water. Listen, so what if he stays in hotels when the cameras stop rolling....my man drank poo water and his own pee out of a snakeskin canteen. That's badass manly right there.
