I've heard the same thing that this guy on Man v. Wild doesn't stay out in the wild every night as he leads you to believe. Though he does some pretty risky and disgusting things (e.g. drinking water he squeezed from supposedly fresh elephant crap!) [:'(]

I do like this Les Stround "Survivor Man". He is believable and think he does spend the whole week out in the wild or until he finds his way back. The episode up in the Arctic was really wild! Sleeping out in Polar Bear territory in early Spring! Yikes!
