I enjoy the dynamic between both guys in the show, it is entertaining.
Seth, true that. I keep in mind when I'm watching this, or Man vs Wild, that they have not only the camera man, but a full team of 5 guys with them at all times, making sure things don't go awry. I think it might give people the wrong idea, that going out of your way to do something totally crazy like dangle over a canyon 200 feet in the air is a perfectly normal thing to do in a survival situation. There's bound to be someone who goes out, tries it, and ends up getting hurt, or worse. A lot of people don't read, and understand, the disclaimer before watching the show. These fellas have medical aid and a rescue team standing 15 feet away behind the camera. There is a ton of information to be gleaned from the show, but in the right context.
I just wouldn't opt out of footwear, lol...
