i watched 2 episodes and its already a played out he-man and she-man mentality between the two. That dude went rambo vietnam bizerk on the hog. Its kind of dumb they act like they are on the verge of death "my dehydration headache is kicking in" and then like they are 1 mile from I-10 or some shite. I like learning the various things but i wish they were stranded for longer periods of time, not like 3 days.

The new guy is annoying as hell. Survivorman is still king of the shows, IMO. I think matching Cody with Stroud could be interesting to watch.

And this is why Les Stroud is and will always be my favorite. Learned something valuable in every episode.

I only saw Les get into an actual, almost die situation once. It was legit. No acting, crew following, or fake, very dangerous actions. He is the real deal Holyfield. Would watch again. I am not too concerned when I miss am episode of Dual Survival or Man v. Wild

He also had a few other shows. Moved to a spot in Canada and lives 100% off grid with his family.

He has a nice setup. I saw show about his off the grid place. Good ideas.

Yeah, I tried to watch one and it was awful. You can get some meaningful information I suppose if you wade through an incredible amount of staged bullshite.

All in all...it's a lot of fabricated stuff but at least it has some valued info mixed in here and there. Unlike 95% of the other horse shite that is on evening TV....bachelor, survivor, nashville, idol, xfactor, *insert your own shite show*..etc.

It is stupid and I just can't get past it. It makes me think he's a little light in the proverbial non-existent loafers.

She-Man said the ancestors or whatever used to do it, toughens his feet, makes you more aware of your environment and he saves lots of money in socks.
