2 Alabama

3 Vietnam
8/26/09

4 Texas

13 North Africa
2/17/10
In the North African Sahara, Bear gets creative finding water. He treks to the coast, catches an octopus, makes shelter with acacia trees, and eats a stomach-turning bug burger breakfast of locusts and moths.

This isn't real survival, its entertainment, which is fine so long as you know everything is staged, sponsored, and choreographed while Bear spends the night in a hotel. Try Survivorman with Les Stroud for a taste of the real thing--he doesn't even use a camera crew.

Just a great show. Wouldn't try anything he does in a real survival situation. But extremely entertaining to watch Bear in his element!
