The methods behind Survivorman did add authenticity and other perks, but I think Dual Survival includes many more lessons in each episode since there are two experts with different backgrounds who don't have to lug around camera gear for 7 days.

probably not...since he'd try and talk you out of a fight first lol.

best show on tv? no...i watch it sometimes though because those kids of shows are entertaining to me.


I liked that alaska experiment show a lot when it was on (like 5 different groups surviving the winter season in different areas of remote Alaska)...that was a neat show. although a bunch of people quit on it because of RL issues or weren't staying healthy.

Ooooh those survival shows are the only programs I watch. Haven't heard of the Alaskan one.

http://planetgreen.discovery.com/tv/alaska-experiment.html

it's not nearly as "serious" as the other shows, because they have almost constant support from experts/cameramen...and a few times they bring in guides to take them on big hunting trips (there is a moose and mountain goat hunt I know). But it's mostly city folks, so they have ZERO experience living like that. It was on discovery to start I think, and they show re-runs every once in a while.

that brett on the water show looks cool.

also, there is another one where a guy goes and lives in the wild by himself for like 3 months...he ends up calling it quits after a little over a month I think because he was basically starting to die. here is part of the first episode on youtube... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xugVC41uHbs

If you want to see some really cool "hermit" type survival stuff, look up Richard Proenneke. He went off to live in the remote Alaskan interior as a hermit in a cabin he built at age 52, and lived there for the next 30 years, only leaving occasionally to visit family in the lower 48. There was a documentary made about him called "Alone in the Wilderness" which was just awesome if you like that sort of thing.


As for Dual Survival, I enjoy the show, but Cody I think his name is, the guy with the bare feet, would piss me the eff off if I had to deal with him regularly. I have no issues with his wilderness survival acumen, but I think his whole shorts and bare feet deal is just too eccentric.

Out of the Wild: The Alaska Experiment and Out of the Wild: Venezuela were pretty damn good.
