Hm, good point, well made.
With Born Survivor - not so much with Mountain - there should be no attempt to hide the camera crew. I seem to recall that he does make reference to them, like asking them to move out the way as he bites the head off a snake or something, but then he'll leap down a canyon wall and go skipping over the rocks like an excited rabbit. What are the crew doing then? This is what I like about Michael Palin's travels, he actively enrolls the crew. You know it's all of them and not just him alone.
Still, I'm interested to see what Grylls does next. I have a couple of his books, and he seems like the type to be off on another mad adventure, so maybe he'll just publish another and lay low for a bit.
