He's an entertainer, and pretty damn good at it. Besides I have no doubt that off camera he's very competent on the all outdoorsy stuff. Plus I very much enjoy the physical element he adds to the scene, he's a fit chap that does various cool stunts like helicopter jumping or mountain climbing, Bear is cool in my book. You need to take the tv shows with a grain of salt, same goes to the gear he rents his face to, it's just a way to make money, and it works great in both ways, he's a cash cow that banked on retards that live intensely through tv, if any of the advice in the show gets you hurt, you're probably dumb as fuck and deserved it to begin with.
