Exactly!! Very well done but spme people actually believe it!!

Like hammond would sleep in those hotels....the must have had 5 star when out there

Interesting that they showed the film crew at one stage, not a few, must have been over a dozen!
No surprise of course, but takes the 'adventure' out of it.

 

[dem maser]

they travel with loads...when they were filming the polar, there was another 4 trucks!!

you think if they run out of food in theirs then thats it but the supply is enough for 2 weeks!!

Anyone that 'believes' all the 'living off the land' programs like Ray Mears, Bear Gryliss etc to name only two, must remember that the film crew is at least 4 strong, thier equipment would not fit in a large 4x4 so they need 2. The program 'star' may live off ants and beetle juice - the film crew would probably faint if more than 200m from a McDonalds. Camping would be an 'Out of Africa' experience rather than a sleeping bag on the ground spread on some nice insect infested scrub.

Much as I enjoy these programs I am always reminded of the waiting around I did whilst the RAF flew Nell McAndrew back and forwards to Kuwait City so she could take a sh1te instead of squatting behind a camel like the rest of us - in her defence when the story got out it was quite clear that her entourage had insisted on it rather than her.
I still have the picture of her using the portaloo in Basra Palace

As I told my son at age 5/6....................the only thats real on the TV....is the on /off button..........the rest are complete fantasy, partial or complete lies and the odd gem of truth/knowledge.......he still repeats it back to me!!
