Hein as we all know has had an interesting television career, appearing in shows like Survivor Malaysia and Woes, and now a cameo appearance on Celebrity survivor, on the island of Santa Carolina. The fact that the creators of Survivor asked Hein to be their gift to the survivors is a testimony to his status as South Africa's survivor man.
The first time most of us heard about Hein Vosloo was when he caused a sensation by being the first person on the Survivor franchise, anywhere in the world, to make fire using only natural means. Usually the survivors are at the mercy of mother nature until they win a reward and get flint or after the first tribal council when they are able to take their torches back to their camps. Hein redefined the rules and showed that it can be done the old way,
long before modern day conveniences.

Hein has lived in areas and shelters most of us would consider harsh and unliveable, minus the comforts we consider necessities these days. And, it seems this is where he is happiest.
He hasn't pursued possesions and positions that make up a normal supposedly successful life, instead he has followed the path less travelled and in so doing gained an immense amount of knowledge about Africa and it's animals.
