Behind-the-scenes: "Out of the Wild"'s Jake Nodar on coming out and cleaning up

Above you can see a behind-the-scenes look at Jake Nodar from Discovery Channel's Out of the Wild as he reflects on his experience on the Alaska adventure.

He talks about the difficulties in coming out in a small town, and how he hopes his appearance as a gay man on a rugged show can help break stereotypes. If you haven't seen Out of the Wild yet, there's another episode on Discovery Channel tonight at 10 PM EST (and Jake promises we'll see much more of him this week).

Below you can see one more behind-the-scenes clip, as Jake laments the momentary halt to hygiene during his adventure (and the sight of Jake clad in only a towel is worth the talk of "fuzzy teeth").
