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

Question

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?

Now you understand why everyone makes fun of BG.

They stayed in hotels… with him… near by, and faked pretty much everything.
