Here we go. It could all be bollocks, but I'm inclined to believe not.

# I do remember wondering
"where do the camera crew kip?" while I was watching it but I assumed that they slept in a tent or caravan or something while Bear slept in his hammock/sleeping platform/shoe/whatever

It's disappointing, but less surprising than it should be :(

# There is a disclaimer at the start of the show
Saying whilst they go and do this stuff, come the end of the day they go back to a hotel.
It was made out like they were roughing it in the early series then people moaned about it, so now they have a little disclaimer at the start of the show.

# Which then begs the question
WHAT'S THE FUCKING POINT.

This may also have something to do with me really loving Ray Mears.

I do still enjoy Bears show though, he does do some mad shit that if you were really in a survivial situation might come in handy.

Ray shows you how to live comfortably in the wilds. Hell he usually has a full set of herbs and spices to cook with!

# Ray is great
He'd definitely be my Desert Island discs luxury item. I could sit and read and listen to music while he built a house and found dinner.
