    I feel like too many people do not respect nature. They romanticize it, and that’s a very dangerous thing. They forget that you need actual skills to survive in the wild. This didn’t have to happen.

      That has gotten worse with all the “survivalist” shows acting like its easy to survive with just a knife and fig leaf in the wild.

      They see a show grab some gear and off they go. Not realizing those shows are often fake and when not, the star has many years of actual experience and training.

        I’m a huge fan of Alone, but would never in a million years think I could do it. Those people are literally survival teachers or Bushmen/women who have done this their entire lives and even then only make it 20 or so days before calling to gtfo.

        This is incredibly sad.

        I didn’t watch a lot of him but I enjoyed Les Stroud’s Survivorman.
