Bear is a great example of do the opposite and be safe.

"Reality" survival shows are absolutely ridiculous. Somewhere on youtube there is a set of videos showing a pan of the locations Bear's been in - usually there's a road within line of site. There may be some amusement in the show in how completely fictional it is and extreme his behavior gets, but too many people have had searchers out looking for them after trying to emulate him. (I don't care if it's only been one or two cases, that is entirely TOO MANY.)
