Man Vs. Wild. I love the show, but how much is real?

Man vs. Wild isn't necessarily completely real, but all the situations he puts himself in are real. He may be near civilization, but that doesn't change how dangerous the activity he's doing is.

Survivorman, however, is completely real. He is really the only person there, and he really has no contact, and he's really in the middle of nowhere.

all reality survival based programs are fake. nearby there is always a crew and the person carries a cell phone., but we just dont see him carrying one. they give you the sense of it being real by the guy with his own personal camera and stuff but some scenes you can tell some other dude is with him and taping him do some stunts like going through a river. in no way is bear the british dude ganna really expose his life to danger
