Its states very clearly at the beginning of each segment that the following situations were staged for the purpose of showing survival techniques so I dont know where he's being dishonest! Most of the things he does (and eats!) are clearly for real & u can see him suffering. Any one who expects him to constantly be in REAL dangerous situations is clearly a TWAT! He has one cameraman with him but has to have safety back up due to TV regulations.
