Abandoning a near-ideal shelter or location

From BearWiki

Claim: Abandoning a near-ideal shelter or location is a dumb thing to do.

Unless you have a solid idea where you're going, what it will take to get there, and whether you have the resources to make it there, or you have good reason to believe that there is no chance of rescue being sent for you, anyone stumbling upon you, anyone flying overhead seeing your rescue signals, and so on, your safest bet in a survival situation is to sit tight and wait for rescue. If you meet your immediate shelter and water needs, you can survive for a month even if you don't have food.

In several episodes, Bear "finds" or "makes" near-ideal shelter or is in a near-ideal location for rescue -- a cabin, an island with food and water, and so on. Then he leaves these areas without a good reason for doing so. This is one of the worst things you can do.

[edit] Analysis

Oppose: Although he should mention that staying put and waiting for help is the best choice of action, the whole point of the show is to show people how to overcome different situations in these environments.

Support: What part of the show's slogan, "Watch, Learn, Survive" is supposed to lead viewers to the interpretation, "Watch as I do what you shouldn't do in a survival situation"?

Support: As an Alaskan, I would add that paddling straight towards icebergs is stupid, when you could paddle near the shoreline in the event your boat sinks. Abandoning an obvious fish camp or abandoned lodge is a poor choice too. Someone is likely to come back. With the amount of plane and boat traffic along even the most remote shorelines, the best bet would be to sit put, and create a HUGE bonfire when you spot a boat or planes. Honestly, if I were in the same situation for too long (say a week or two), and in a remote enough area, I would probably light the entire forest on fire, get in the boat (to avoid the fire), and wait for the fire brigade to arrive. Not the most politically correct answer, but better than freezing to death come winter."
