Like it or not this is reality TV hence this show should be taken for what it is: a man applying survival techniques in a moderately safe ( but usually horrible) environment.
I am not a fan of reality TV but I can’t help but to sympathize with Bear in each episode -a truly charismatic and intelligent man-. He will show ultimate survival techniques for different parts of the world, some of them helpful some of them a little too weird but ALL of them fun to watch. The episodes are filled with excellent trivia about the different places and hilarious situations ( from a viewer perspective there is nothing funnier than watching a dude eat bugs) . I won’t deny that this show is not for everyone but I find it hard to believe that any person remotely adventurous won’t enjoy watching this fine piece of entertainment.
