Proof of Concept

Dramatic Moment of Last Night's "Man vs. Wild": Bear Grylls climbing the avocado tree to get the fruit.

Dramatic Moment of Last Night's "I Shouldn't Be Alive": The guy climbing the tree in the Amazon rain forest to look at the terrain, only to fall flat on his back after only going halfway up.

Get the hint?

The basic line is this: "Man vs. Wild" does contain some useful survival information and ideas, but unfortunately that useful information is buried in with so much entertainment gibberish that it's difficult for the uneducated viewer to filter out. To make matters worse, the uneducated viewer is the show's main demographic target.
