Thing is, if both shows were the same it would get kinda boring. Don't you guys like the fact that Survivor Man and M.V.W. are unique in their own way? Just because he has a camera crew with him doesn't mean they got their nose up his *** the whole time helping him out. Both good shows. The most important thing is, who would win in a fist fight?

Jerimiah Johsnon would crush both of them so it does not really matter

It was alright. The beginning was kinda cool. He took a stick about 8-10ft long and pole vaulted himself down the mtn to avoid walking on loose rocks/dirt. Then high jumped over the river with it. I'm sure someone who watches it will say there was a trampoline hidden somewhere

I still watch Man vs. Wild but what ticked off people is that they originally made it look like he was building all these things himself and that he was out in the middle of no where with just a camera man not helping him.

What it turned out to be is all staged and he was less than a 1/4 mile from major roads...look on youtube and you'll see some examples.

Anyways, I watch it for entertainment but I'm not impressed with much that he does knowing that he has a safety harness or life jacket on during the shoots and then goes to a hotel at night.
