Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

Bardlerx Strictly average movie

Libramedi Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

danielesselstrom I started watching this a few days ago and the show is obviously scripted reality. They create fake problems and say very inaccurate things. "My riffle misfired because it wasn't sited in properly"? The only thing the site and trigger have in common is that they are connected to the same gun. And episode 4 the one I just got done watching. What freaking tiny Toyota pickup on the planet weighs 5 tons! THAT IS 10000 LBS! The show is just plagued with tons of inaccuracies and fake drama. It could of been a good show if it just focused on teachings and showed how to do things when living in the wild. Next show produced like this should hire writers that don't live in a condo above a grocery store in a city.

spamfreein2003-1 @ bg_7774 from Tennessee...you are incorrect. An opossum that gets into your coop will target eggs and young chicks, but they are certainly known to kill adult chickens as well. Small chickens are especially at risk. When they kill adult chickens, they will take one or more, and leave remains quite similar to what a raccoon leaves: the body or bodies will usually be left where they were killed, rather than carried away.The show itself is entertaining. I like the different locations that are portrayed. I like men too. They all bring their own unique flavor to the show.Sometimes the events seem scripted, but I can look past that as they are produced for engaging the audience.I like it!

laurenthoutent Great series, but needlessly staged, over dramatized and much too repetitive.Why create such an atmosphere of danger and stress? We know there is a whole camera crew there at all times. We see Tom and his friends go duck hunting, a duck is shot and the camera shows the dead duck. With a camera crew next to the bird, the hunters can't find it? Embarrassing.A grizzly is lurking at night in the yard, Tom fires a shot then goes on his own, armed with a torch to investigate. Come on, we have archive footage of a bear, then a probably armed crew goes filming in the yard.The voice over keeps reminding us that Marty is all on his own, no mention of the cameramen, sound technicians etc. When he breaks down at night "10 miles away from his cabin", are we really to believe that a heartless, sadistic crew would film him unarmed, walking to exhaustion for hours, gasping for water, with bears and wolves marauding? Same when using the plane - will he / won't he make it, shouldn't fly in this weather etc, with his plane being filmed from another aircraft. The loss of his glasses (series 1 -06) to add tension to him being on a very tight schedule ("with no one around for hundreds of miles") was a silly staged situation; search for a couple of minutes, then "oh there they are", camera zooms and miracle! his brown frame, brown oval rimmed spectacles have become white frame white square rim "broken" spectacles! Eustace owes a fair bit of money and claims he is broke. Is he really staring in two TV series pro bono? The chase for the alleged poacher was not credible. Two mountain men moving silently, but accompanied by a full camera crew stomping in the woods. Any poacher would have heard them from miles away.The persistent over dramatization is embarrassing. Will he make in time / will he crash / will the bears or the wolves attack / is he lost in the snow etc etcWhy are we shown the same clips half a dozen times during an episode, going back and forth in time? As for the archive footage of hungry bears and wolves (wolves can weight up to 140 pounds we are told zillions of times), perhaps it made cheap padding, but very boring by the end of the series.Very interesting series, but one gets the feeling that it's produced for an audience of primary school children.

wolfmoon2682 I seen the rating on here and was pretty shocked with how low it was. I love the show and haven grown up in the mountains in upstate NY i can say it is pretty accurate. I'm no mountain man but i am no stranger to the way of life either. The show is authentic so ignore any haters. The only thing about it that i find annoying is that they repeat themselves way too much. I lost track of how many times i heard bears are dangerous. Or you can't fight the weather... Other than that small gripe i enjoy it very much.I think more Americans need to learn how to survive and live off of the land, i fear we have become far too separated from nature. The show might help to actually teach people a thing or two. Nothing too complex as there is an element of drama for TV. Hopefully it will spark some interest in the freedoms out country should be enjoying rather than the hustle and bustle of the average 9-5 wageslave. These men are truly free. You have to respect that!
