he certainly got a lot of people into the outdoors, but that lead to a lot of commercialization
some people say he's a phony, but I don't think so
there are just inherent requirements with filming, sometimes license or access issues, sometimes you just couldn't get good footage
he films near a road, who cares
David atenborough probably did the same, who is going to say "this monkey is too close to a road let's not film it"
he sells a lot of shit, nobody likes that
but the outdoors stuff he sells isn't junk; it's just overpriced
I think people are foolish to critisize him for filming set-ups
that would be like lambasting your math teacher for using hypothetical questions.
"you're a fake sir, there is no woman called sally who wants to buy 6 oranges and only has 4 dollars"
bragging about being in the SAS is basically half of being in the SAS, a lot of those guys are allowed to make leaks, publish books and be jack-asses because it helps enlistment
I have no doubt the army drops cash into his bank account every time he uses the word "SAS"
it's the same in america with marines and SF in general
