Somewhere there is a Goth wishing that these fire starters came soaked in clove oil and had black tips to light emos on fire.

...and elsewhere is a regular guy who can't tell the difference between the two dorky, pussified groups, and would be satisfied using regular matches to light them all on fire.

Edit: Oops, missed the part about the VHF radio. Sounds like it's not for regular use, though.

The stuff he does and shows you how to do is what makes it worth the watch. I couldn't care less if he had to fly out one night in mexico when I saw him today wade through a half frozen river in the freaking artic circle buck naked.
It takes a big set to do the stuff he has. So I don't think ragging on the guy for how he does a TV show (it's entertainment for christ's sake) is cool.
I wish my career was as cool as that but no, I sit in a damn office underwriting stupid mortgages for people who shouldn't have a house in the first place.

You have two options, walk for another couple of hours to get around a waterfall or try to climb up/down it. A sane person would try to go around.
He throws himself down a steep hill with big rolling rocks running as fast as he can to gain ground quicker. 20 minutes later he stresses how dangerous it would be to brake a limb with no help in sight.
Don't get me wrong, it's entertaining as hell but I would rather take pointers from "Survivor Man" than Bear when it comes to surviving in a real life situation.

So I would say this is more like Man vs. Wild.

Both shows are about survival techniques for the environment that they're placed in. Survivorman may seem more specialized because some of his episodes have been in very extreme locations.
The big difference between the two is that Les Stroud is out by himself (most of the time) while Bear Grylls has a crew with him.
Since according to the National Geographic website, Ed is out there by himself, I'd say it's more like Survivorman than Man vs. Wild.

seriously i don't even have one of those in my house, much less when I'm near the wilderness.
not to mention with phones these days getting better reception that ever, and having GPS... might be a good idea to keep the battery in your stinkin phone.

That makes it a little one-sided.
Plus I've had a nearly perfect run with all my Dell PCs for years and years, no lie.
Hook me up HP, and we'll talk. :D
