Survivorman isn't a contestant on a game show. He is alone. He goes out into the wilderness with a couple of cameras. There are no other people with him.

You make it sound like people are born with the knowledge of how to know where to find water in the desert; what plants to eat; what plants not to eat how to make fire without matches and all the other things that go along with survival skills.
Making that comment makes me think you have never seen this show. The only people that would know much about what Stroud is speaking would be people who have trained and studied survival techniques.
Tell me Mac, how often do you or have you gone into the wilderness for a week at a time with no food or water no matches or lighter and no humans within hundreds of miles of you? Usually the only thing he has on him is a single multi-tool.
I've seen him survive in places like Death Valley, Biyou in Louisianna, mountain top in B.C., in the arctic (only a couple hundred miles from the pole), tropical rain forest in Central America, ancient forests in Northern Ontario in the fall where it rained for 7 days straight etc.
Give the show a look sometime...I bet you'd like it.
