How does the camera crew on survival/exploration shows manage to get into the same places as the survivalists/hosts?

536 views

I’m a big fan of survival shows and adventure/exploration shows. I have always wondered how the camera crew manages to film in tiny caverns or in the middle of the desert. I’m certain that TV magic is used to an extend, but I’m still in awe of the camera crews. Thoughts?

Almost all the shows are fake and staged. They helicopter in with a vast crew, do multiple takes to get the shot they want, then go spend the night at a resort hotel.

Survivorman is the real deal. All he has is an emergency sat phone, and is otherwise alone and carrying all his gear, including cameras.

Bear Grylls is weak.
