In Copper Canyon, Mexico, Bear starts a fire using the fire saw method in 40 seconds without breaking a sweat[1]. This would be an incredible time for even an expert. Even with that, friction-based firestarting is backbreaking labor -- generally at least a few exhausting minutes for an expert in an optimal situation.

[edit] Analysis

Oppose: They could have just edited it down. Or he could just be that good.

Support: That doesn't justify deliberately deceiving viewers into thinking it's that easy. A novice may spend hours trying to get a fire going this way and still fail. To present it as far easier than it would be for even an expert is grossly irresponsible.

Oppose: Never intended to be presented as 40 seconds. It was simply an edit for viewer convenience.

Support: Why not edit it to 10 seconds for my convenience? As a viewer I want to be shown an accurate method of starting a fire for my survival, which is the premise of the show. If it took one hour, they should state that they have edited the footage to a shorter time.

Oppose: Don't be ridiculous. So you mean for shows like Deadliest Catch, they should show you how they catch the crabs, step by step, second for second?

Support: Deadliest Catch doesn't edit the video to try and make it look as though they caught all of their fish in one minute, without the fishermen even breaking a sweat.

Oppose: Bear says in that episode that he has worked at it for nearly an hour when he gets it going.

Support: Perhaps in the edited version (made to respond to allegations of fakery) he says that. Watch for yourself in the original version.
Oppose: Apologies, I was thinking of the Osu Peninsula, Costa Rica episode. On camera (not narrated) Bear says that he's been working nearly an hour to get the fire going.
