Men crossing a desert

An explorer wishes to cross a barren desert that requires 6 days to cross, but one man can only carry enough food for 4 days. What is the fewest number of other men required to help carry enough food for him to cross, the constraint is that each man should survive? (One of the Microsoft questions from http://vijay.techi.googlepages.com/puzzles).
