It also does give out some genuine good survival advice. That said, it generally still manages to be entertaining despite this and still doesn't nullify some of the more badass things Bear has done, especially when there was genuine danger involved despite the controlled environment.
Kayfabe: It's pretty obvious that certain parts of the show are staged for certain scenarios note such as the infamous "wild horses" and there was even a note by one of the staff that most scenes take place not too far away from roads, and several accounts of Bear Grylls checking into hotels while filming. And he does it while lugging a camera behind and worrying about getting good shots all the time. Not only does he do everything that Grylls does, not only does he usually do it first, but he often does it multiple times, to capture footage from different POVs and angles. The production crew that follows him around has an agreement that they'll also take a bite of whatever he scrounges. A lot of it raw or so fresh that it's still twitching. Extreme Omnivore: Grylls eats and drinks some stomach churning "foods" on this show. 
Don't Try This at Home: Unusually, in addition to standard TV disclaimers, this has been often stressed to a much larger extent by real survival experts, who have often warned that anything Grylls does or says in the series would be fatal if actually tried, the random backflips and rolls on building roofs being only the beginning. He also did it well, considering he apparently has fear of heights. Jake Gyllenhaal appeared on an episode, as well, accompanying Bear through mountains of Iceland. An episode that broadcasted in between Seasons 3 and 4 featured Will Ferrell accompanying Bear through mountains of Sweden. 
Carcass Sleeping Bag: In an episode, Bear Grylls hides inside a gutted camel carcass to escape a sandstorm.Later inquiries by reporters seem to show that the host supposedly served in the territorial reserves, SAS 21, which is to SAS 22 about what the US National Guard is to the SEAL units. Based on a Great Big Lie: So says Chris Ryan, actual ex-member of SAS 22, about Grylls's alleged SAS exploits.Awesome, but Impractical: Some of Bear's advice, and his stunts.
The Amazon: And other isolated locales. Once the development began, though, it gradually morphed into the eventual "Rolling, Jumping & Eating Bugs." Adaptation Distillation: Actually present, in that the concept, the pitch and even the first written material was supposed to make it a much more realistic show, with genuinely helpful advice. Wild, a Choose Your Own Adventure-style interactive series. The show also got a spin-off on Netflix named You vs. There's even a Season 5 episode filmed in an abandoned city of Eastern Europe. Starting around Season 4, the producers took a looser interpretation to "wilderness survival" and stopped masking or editing out train tracks, villages, landmarks, and other evidence of human civilization.
