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

502 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?

My impression has always been that if you do not see shots at night in a tent or shelter then it is fake and they are not roughing it outdoors.

If you were out there at night with a camera any producer or editor would be sure to include it for a sense of realism.

If they can’t even fake night shots they are too lazy to actually sleep outdoors.
