Even if that was true, being well prepared is not cheating. It's common sense. Go into the wilderness and see how far you get without preparation.

It's not a game. So Boo yourself.

I think there should be "your experience may differ" disclaimer in the beginning.

@rostfleck79 you can go pretty far if you have the knowledge of the plants trees and the knowledge of animals like trapping or hunting

"the more you know the less you need"

[Silentscreamer2009]

You can never ever replace Bear Grylls. You lack the intensity and creativity Bear has.

@philateliceun Though factory tampered gorilla bones are used to fashion helicopters today, it is very possible that our ancient Mesolithic ancestors also used a similar method to generate lift with the remains of other primates in the region. We will never know for sure.

@barbedbinz

So you believe other TV shows are for real?

I can't believe there are people that naive in this country!

@Thecarotidpulse You obviously know very little about cutting tools. Good machetes and parangs all use carbon steel. They are impact tools, used mainly for chopping. Stainless steel is brittle and will soon break under such stress. Carbon steel is softer, thus less prone to breaking and also easier to sharpen.
