Man vs Wild (Born Survivor on British Channels) is one of Bear's most well-known TV shows, having a very successful seven seasons over 5 years. as successful as Man vs Wild was, Bear received a large amount of criticism, in one situation, people accused Bear of having a raft built for him and then pulled apart so that Bear could make it himself. This was one of many criticisms about this show, perhaps this is why it was well known, because many people wanted to find out the truth about the things that weren't filmed that were in this show.
