"I think it's pretty obvious that this is mock survival, and think people in general including city dwellers can make the difference between theater and real life..."

Actually, that's not true. If you're old enough to remember a TV show called "Marcus Welby, M.D.", you'll remember that it was totally fiction, not meant to be any kind of documentary, and the star was a well known actor. Yet he received thousands upon thousands of letters from people who wanted advice on their physical and medical problems. And there are many more who think what they read in the National Inquirer and the other rags is accurate information.

No, a lot of people raised on television seem to think that whatever they see there is true and accurate.

Movie writers and directors don't bother to research much of anything you see. Some of it is so stupid that its painful to watch.

I don't know about the rest of the world, but way too many Americans are stupid beyond belief. I'm waiting to hear of someone suing Bear's show/production company because someone followed his antics and died.
