I have tried this and it is much harder then it actually looks. Everything takes 3-4 longer as you to have film, check, redo, re-check etc. On top of all this, it takes more work back home when it comes to editing the video. You may have hours and hours of raw field video only to end up with minutes of decent final cut video.

I recall Less Stroud mentioning the difficulties of doing solo videos. He would have multiple cameras to work with and not to mention being deprived of sleep, food, water etc over a period of 7 days. All this video would be edited and condensed down to about 42 minutes for an hour long Survivorman show.
