First off, I think we should all be a bit careful taking our news from the New York Post, I mean....really!

News source aside, if you watch the show, it becomes quite clear that portions of it must be staged. For example, in the Alaska episode when his boat "suddenly" starts sinking....

I think thats fine, though. Doing the things that are done on that show in an uncontrolled environment are downright reckless, expert or not.

If they take 10 days to film an episode, but only have him spend a 2 or 3 nights in the wild. Filming the rest in smaller segments, and stitching it together for and illusion of continuity, i really don't see a problem with that. The information conveyed is still good.

I agree with you.Maybe some of it is staged maybe he does not sleep outside when cameras are off.But the point is to show you how to survive in the wilderness in dangerous cituations.He showes you how to catch food what parts to eat whats parts not to eat.See I dont like people that are scepticul about the show if you think its fake than dont watch it.Like im a scepticul on the chris angle show cause I dont belive in magic so I dont watch it cause Ill be wasting my time.But Im a fan of the show ad people can say what they want but I learn things that know one else knows......
