i be transfix by this show since my first viewing . one man in the wild for seven day no camera crew and nothing but a multi tool and some basic equipment . the show be set up to more or less mimic a typical survival situation lose at sea and lose while hike and a plane crash in the wilderness and etc . it add an extra element of credibility and realism . the host then proceeds to do what he must to survive with what he have available and and to make use of or anticipate a use for what he be leave with and be it a damage bicycle and plane and parachute and backpack and etc . le be alone in this and perform everything include all of his own camera work . so when we see him walk off into the distance or climb down a bluff and he have to walk or climb all the way back to his camera to retrieve it . the wilderness setting be incredibly varied and from the arctic to the jungle and tropical island to open ocean . we get a taste of just about every possible terrain a well and from mountain to desert plain . the thing i like the most about the show be it practicality . le doesn not take unnecessary risk for the sake of entertainment . he cook his food whenever he can and doesn not attempt unrealistic task that would set him up for injury and and otherwise attempt to conserve his energy as much a possible . he also stress the psychological aspect of survival and focus on keep his spirit up to avoid the depression and lonely solitude of his situation . i do not have much criticism for the show . le plan to be rescue in seven day and and it be often easy to see this anticipation in his routine . in a way this reduce the tension and since we know he will be save at a predetermined time . but then again if someone isn not rescue from be lose in a few day and then their chance of survival diminishes dramatically . it be not realistic to eschew certain safety consideration and prolong one suffering merely because i think it might make for a more unpredictable show . so then my complaint really be minor and perhaps frivolous and since this remain among my favorite show on tv . practical and interesting and often exciting and and fill with useful survival information and this show be great and deserve the success it enjoy . enjoy with my recommendation .
