I've only read Living Wild, but that is a really good book. I initially picked it up because it was dedicate to Scouts world wild and I was curious about what he was teaching to that audience.

Interestingly, I've always held a somewhat negative view of Man v. Wild, but never really watched a full show. Recently I've been watching survival shows while exercising and after finishing up the Survivorman series I decided to give Man v. Wild a shot. I'm most way through season 1 now and my opinion of the show has actually increased a fair bit. From my perspective, it really isn't that far off in the amount of usable information from Survivorman and Bear even does a better job in a couple areas.

Ultimately I think both shows fall a bit short as real-world instruction because they both focus on surviving free of support for an extended time & self extraction. Realistically, most of us in an outdoors emergency need to focus more on being found and not making SAR's job harder than it needs to be.
