Total fraud. He eats with the crew and motels it at night. Now he's built an amusement park so you can share his "adventures".

While the diet of hunter gathers is a still hotly debated mainly due to availability of quality data and fluctuation depending on what environment they lived in there is absolutely no doubt that foraging has always been the source of at least a substantial amount of calories among HG peoples. The only environments where foraging was negligible were arctic areas.

The single most well studied HG people, the !kung, got 70% of their calories from gathered plants but then again they were also shorter than modern day people.

Foraging goes hand in hand with hunting because they both support the other. Whether you hunt or forage it involves going into the woods and coming back after a few hours. Combining either with agriculture on the other hand is difficult because when you scale field work up it requires intensive working hours.
To add, foraging isn't just gathering plants and mushrooms but also eggs, clams and similar.

   The one who puts the others to shame is Les Stroud, the Survivorman.  On every other survival show there are camera crews, producers, a medical team, etc.  On Survivorman it's just Les and his cameras.  He is the real deal.
   The most fake one IMO, thought I've watched and enjoyed the show, is Dual Survival.  If anyone did some of the crap they supposedly do you'd surely die.  I remember one episode where they were filming in Kentucky.  It was rainy and cold; just above freezing. Joe couldn't make it back to camp so he decided to just hunker down for the night in some wet leaves.   I dare anyone to sleep all night in a pile of wet leaves when it's forty degrees Fahrenheit out. This is just one of countless examples.  Though there is some good  info to be had the show is full of illogical to impossible scenarios.

I liked Dual Survival at the beginning when it had Dave Canterbury.


I agree that Les is definitely at the top.  He has pretty much all of his content on YouTube now.  All of Survivorman, and new stuff.  If you haven't seen them, I recommend checking out his director's commentary episodes.  He basically watches an episode of Survivorman and tells stories about other things that were happening.
