Anyone else love his series?
New one starts tonight at 7pm back on C4. Went off it when it was on Discovery or whatever it was, but back on C4 and hopefully better than ever.

Or better yet, kill a camel, cut it open and find its stomach. Then scoop out the grassy contents (from its first stomach only, not its second) and enjoy a nice juicey drink as you squeeze its contents over your face.

Making it out like an all new series 
Either way, I missed a load of the Discovery ones so will rewatch the ones I did catch.

Didn't he get caught staying in Hotels and stuff every night rather than actually sleeping rough while filiming?
Also, does he really need to kill the animals? There is a film crew with him, if he wanted a drink or summat to eat im sure they could help him out

No, he had to say that some of the situations are staged (i.e. when he finds certain animals, caves, etc.) but other than that he gets put in there and stays there. His crew gets picked up at night most of the time.
He only kills the animals he needs to survive, i.e. he'll kill a small animal for fish for food, thats about it though. He wouldnt kill a camel or anything like that

Pretty sure they are yes Cosmo, the series on Discovery atm is brilliant, he came within 50feet of a wild bear the other night then decided to sleep in the woods where he saw it he set up this little trip wire device to warn him of bears inthe night, brilliant. I'll watch the C4 one tonight and tell you if it's a repeat.

The ones on C4 are usually shown a few months after they air on Discovery, I'd watch it again no the less. The guy has some guts though, some of the things he's been doin on the latest series are crazy.

No, he found a dead camel once. Dont think he killed one though.

He only ever kills insects/fish etc and even then it doesn't show the death.

The company I work for paid him like £7k to give us a 5 minute motivational talk. He got right into telling us about climbing ben nevis before some pissed sparky started shouting heckles about him living it up in hotels while filming his show

My Dad's old company had him at one of their sales conferences giving a chat about his Everest climb and all that stuff, was back before he did this series though.
My Dad said out of all the different speakers theyve had over the years he has been by far the best....both spoken and about what he had to say.
