guys your bein pretty harsh on him, do any of you have any idea what its like to be in "bear country"? because I know I dont, and I think your forgetting that this is totally on his own, now camera crew no nothing, he pretty much losing his mind. Its an experiment in how humans cope in situations like this. Stop watching it with your bloody ray mears googles on ffs.

Calm down Chris. It's only TV. It's not like it's real. For all we know, the whole thing may be a stunt by the maker of the programe. I have heard that he got air lifted out after 6 or 7 weeks as he nearly died of starvation. notice "NEARLY". We actually know very little about what goes on in these programes. Take it all with a pinch of salt.

I felt sorry for him tonight, I never though in a vast wilderness like that it would be so hard to feed yourself and catch game and fish. Its open my eyes a alot, i still think he is carrying way to much gear and having to talk to the camra is putting him off the real jobs at hand. I honestly think if he was there without the glam of TV to think about he could focus better on himself and the things around him.

Lets be honest TV has to be more exstream now days for the rating, so they are happy to take avanage of someone wanting to live there dream ( living of the land ) the more madness happens the better the rating.

50 days he has lasted, and lack of food and catching food has took it toll.

He is missing his family and friends, but i think if he had got more game and fish he would not have missed them half as mush.

I still think channel 4 took the piss giving him all that s*** to carry.

His dream is over but at least he will have learned a lot from it and it can only make him stronger.

A big well done as he did try his best.
