Just caught the last bit where he was hanging off the helicopter ladder and the closing comments from both.
Hell of a difference watching Man vs Wild and Survivorman.
Anytime I watch Survivorman all he seems to do is catch nothing and get sick whilst being cold and miserable. At the same time not taking anything away from him he "appears" to be carrying round his own camera etc and does appear to be genuinely isolated.
Man vs Wild has more insight into plants/sources of food etc but seems to be more scripted (e.g. finding a fresly dead camel in the desert) and appears to have more 'on hand' back up ... i.e. someone to carry the camera.
