haul it out? For example, when he parachutes into a place, the chute seems to get left behind a lot. Sometimes he uses it for survival purposes but usually it's supposed to be like it never existed.
This was really noticeable in a Sierra Nevada episode where he landed in a pristine lake and you could see the chute in the middle of the lake after he waded ashore. He acted like it didn't exist, which to me sets a bad example.
Also, there are several shows where climbing ropes look like they could never be retrieved by him alone, and nothing is said of it. I'm curious about him leaving gear behind in some cases, while in others he talks about utilizing every possible item.
I'm not a Grylls-basher; I accept that the show is often staged, but it's entertaining for what it is. I just think it sends a bad message to not mention cleaning up one's debris.
