Bruce Parry's series called Tribe sounds like something you'd like, he goes around all sorts of places seeing how the natives live day to day and joins their tribe, becoming one of them, places like the Amazon, Alaska, Africa... He's been all over. I know a few more but my memory has gone a bit blank as I watch a shit load of this stuff.

Can recommend a couple films too... Grizzly Man is one. Timothy Treadwell is a proper strange bastard, it's not so much based around bushcraft as say Ray Mears and the like, this guy went to live in the wild with bears, few laugh out loud moments in it where he's having a go at the camera But a gripping film all the same.

The 2007 film 'Into The Wild' is a must watch as well. I won't spoil it for you though.

Bear Grylls has got a documentary series called The Legion which you might like as well.
