[pct-l] The Dark Side of "Survivor Man" & "Man Versus Wild"

[Freiman, Paul]

I don't know if anyone else noticed, but when he was in the Sierras... at one of his campsites... there was a cut log.  In other words, he was at a real campsite and he had found a trail.  Bear proceeded to get hypothermic in the water though, cause that is good TV.

In case you aren't familiar with these Discovery Channel  series, they
involve "stranding" a survival expert in the wilds somewhere &  filming his
escape/eventual rescue.  The series are quite entertaining and  informative, but I had
never considered their dark side until I read the  letter about the
Survivalist who planned to live in the woods with no food  provisions and minimal
supplies.
