The premise of his show is to demonstrate survival skills, it is not a show where he is abandoned in the middle of nowhere and left to survive and it never claims to be. He still does all the stunts for real and he still eats all that disgusting shit and he still kills dangerous animals like alligators and snakes.
I get this and for the most part I agree with you, people who moan about it do get on my tits.
But saying that, they do have a point. In his show, despite the premise he does usually explicitly state that he is going to be trekking and surviving in the wilderness. It's pretty misleading tbh. If you said to someone you were going to go on a trip to the Amazon to survive in the jungle, you wouldn't expect them to be sleeping in a 5 star hotel on the evening.
