Don't get me wrong, I still think Bear Grylls (seen below drinking fresh turtle blood) is a badass. In my opinion the main problem with his show lies with the Discovery channel. It seems like they have turned him into more of a sideshow attraction than a survival guide.
I recently found Ray Mears on YouTube. His show is basically the BBC version of Man Vs. Wild, but with great information in place of all of the theatrics. Ray's show is packed with instructional survival information. Granted, it is not as excited as watching Bear do backflips off of everything and bite the heads off of snakes, but it teaches you quite a bit more about staying alive in the wild.
