He cheats tho--does his 'homework' B4 bailing out' in an area! Knows the plants/trees/food sources to use/eat. The episode that grossed me out was when he squeezed the moisture out of fresh elephant dung into his mouth!! Arrrrgh!! Also ate a tree frog, basically alive after he bit it to kill it first!!

He was on a talk show and mentioned the only times he really got sick was drinking unboiled/not-suff. boiled water. Cleaned him out!!

But all that dehydration/exposure/etc. must be taking some years off of his life..?!

I watched some of the episodes and found them kind of dumb!

YOU can tell he cheats and he tries way to hard to put facial expressions into his camera.

It would be much more enjoyable if they would blind fold him and just drop him off in the middle of nowhere, no info as to where he was before hand either~

Most people dont go to the info section of the local library and say
gee, guess I will get lost in alaska next week.........
