Man vs Wild

i was just going to make a thread about man vs wild. Do you know the location of the episode for the sierra nevada mountains? That meadow area looked really nice. I personally like 'survivor man' better because its more realistic without the camera men and i cant help but feel that some of the stuff in man v wild is faked. Also, i dont like the way he jepordizes his own life to show you how to survive if your in that circumstance. When he jumped through the ice in one episode i was mad because it was only done because the producer/camera man wanted him to. in survior man sure he has to move around the cameras and what not, but it makes me see how good he is at surviving even with making multiple long distance trips for all the gear.

I also dont understand why he eats the food raw when he has a fire going/could easily make one, i just find it that he does it all for tv unlike survivorman, or atleast not as much.
