Idk if these guys were used to the outdoors, but TV makes the shit look easy, or at least not too bad. Dude, nature is fuckin whack compared to suburban life, and it does not give a fuck. It's still very, very easy to drive a few miles to some woods, go into them unprepared for what you plan to do, and have a real bad time. It's also unfortunate because there's a lot of bad advice out there, and a lot of stuff that sounds easy on paper, but you need time and resources to get your skills right in practice.
