I like that show. I just watched one last weekend where at the end, he's walking out of the Utah canyonlands in a dramatic shot, and then he turns around and comes back, and he says "Of course I had to come back and pick up the camera! What'd you think?"
I do too! I like that he does it on his own....it's weird to watch this one w/a sled team and relatively a lot of equipment.
I watched one where he was in Northern Ontario a few weeks ago (pleased to discover I knew all his food sources) and he'd built a shelter and had a fire at the entrance. He went to search for food, and I thought 'heh, his shelter's going to be on fire when he gets back'. He got back, and his shelter was indeed on fire. It's kind of cool to watch him make the mistakes, it's actually better I think.
Edit: He's got a rifle with him! This is a weird (but good, I have a thing about Labrador) Survivorman!

Oh, yeah .... I saw that one too.
Actually, I may have seen them all. Totally vicarious. I would never even consider thinking about possibly spending even a few hours the way he does on that program.
It's funny on this one, b/c the dogs have food and he doesn't. He's said already that their meat is not fit for him, which I think is funny given some of the stuff he's eaten.
(though he's also recognizing their needs, he's giving the dogs a lot of respect for what they do)
He just stole some caribou (the meat is of an indeterminate age) from the dogs. I was just waiting for that. For some reason, he took the side that didn't have any dog poop on it
I haven't seen any of the episodes,
But feeding the dogs first, even if you don't eat for a day, makes total sense in the wild.
The dogs can take you out of there. They need the energy to do the job.
And that's his thought process, that they will get him out safely, and need the energy to do so. He stripped a little bit of meat of of some ribs to make some broth, and then gave the ribs back to the dog.

It's oddly compelling. I mean odd for me. Maybe I am pretending on some level that if I watch this guy and absorb and learn his wilderness wisdom, then I will someday be able to emulate him.
