No idea what these guys are doing here. Just a whiff of sea breeze and the situation can turn critical to deadly immediately. Who’s letting these guys guide?

later in the show they encounter a hungry/curious polar bear and they end up having to fire two flares at it, gun shot in the air, and throw rocks, and it finally moved off. then steve makes a political point about climate change and "humanity" saying "what will it take for us to wake up?"How about a polar bear attacking and killing you? Notice, they weren't in favor of allowing the polar bear to eat them. They would have killed the polar bear to save their own life. There is something immensely hypocritical about a group of upper class adventurerers with hundreds of thousands in gear waxing poetic about the foibles of humanity. You, yourself sir, and your team, are all in part responsible just like anyone else. And at the end of the day, you'd shoot the polar bear before he touched a hair on you. Maybe try to have a little respect, and perhaps make a point about the power of nature an that we are intruders in their home, but leave "humanity" out of it please! Our ancestors were killing seals and mastodons, altering entire ecosytems and hunting species to extinction, hundreds of thousands of years before gasoline ever existed. And we will be doing the same thing long after the last drop of oil is ever pumped out of the ground. We're here to survive, so are they. And we're in competition, whether you like it or not.
