Hi all
Well what did you all think of the new show. Kathy and I watched it and thought it was pretty cool.
I all ways wish they would talk about being prepared with a kit and go over that kit instead of just having a knife and the cloths on there back. or some
Box of condems and pack of smokes.

Any thoughts?

I watched about thirty seconds whilst flipping channels, but turned it off when I heard the dude say 'he's seen bees take out half a special forces team..'
 
My wife and I watched it

It was enjoyable

Never forget that what is most important to the producers of the show is RATINGS--not accuracy.They have to make it enjoyable for most people to watch--so that they return next week.

She had a Cold Steel SRK and he had what appered to be a Cold Steel Machete-although I'm not 100% sure.
 
Will, I would say and I may be guessing here from your comment you have never had multiple bee stings, Getting a whole bunch of stings SUCKs. Hopefuly it never happens to you Will but if it does I think you will have a different out look on what Mike Hawk said.

Remeber these men are flesh and blood not 10 feet tall and bullet proof. Getting so many stings can slow man down.

I thought they could have done with out the mellow drama on some stuff but all these shows have it.

How about anybody else. Like or dislike?

I have been watching Duel Survival and Dave has already talked about Codys Bare feet and they have to make such a big deal over it. That is getting old.
If Cody wants to go bare foot So be it.
Again is it entertaining to watch. like the rest of the shows that are on.

At least they are getting to go places and see some neat areas of the planet.

Well, my issue wasn't that I think SF guys are ninjas (quite the opposite), but just his presentation and phraseology was a little irritating. Bees are certainly unpleasant at best, but that's why I'd go around a hive of them rather than through one like the gent in question.
 
Right on Bill. It is all about ratings. If they really showed what good survival kit and how to use it, it would not turn on the arm chair commandos or be as exciting.
People want to see pee being drunk, or jumping into a cold stream, or seeing some guy walking around with no shoes on. not how easy it really is to set up a camp and start a fire and purify some water, take some food from your pack and then sit back and rest a bit. Where is the drama in that.

My son and I just watched it and were entertained. We thought that was some sort of CS blade she had (knew his was) but we weren't positive. Pretty fun - I'll watch it again.
 
He he he.

Well Dave just killed a gator. They will be eating pretty good for a meal or more lol.

Thank goodness he found an excuse to take his shirt off. Everyone knows you can't survive in the jungle without showing off your man-pecks.

Was the show predictably stupid? Yeah, but anything on Discovery is still better than anything on network tv.

I am in the Army and while on deployment to Panama back in 1997 the Platoon I was in was kicked to shit by african killer bees so yes what the Man said could happen.

Hell here I've seen Hornets reak toatal havoc and send half of a logging crew to the E.R..
 
I watched it. It was entertaining, and I did like it. I liked how the girl wasn't an expert in the matter, and more like a normal person. It got more interest out of my sister and mom.
 
the knife handling skills on man, woman, wild shown by both parties made me cringe several times. also, I found myself begging for mike to step on his wife's throat.. she doesn't have the constitution for survival.
 
I don't understand why they didn't use her earrings for fish hooks and gone fishing. :p
 
Give her 7 days with no food and she would have gotten over her turtle crap real quick. Her screaming her head off at the river was about damned annoying as was her drama over the snake. Not to mention yes he is a SF veteran but he seems like an uber douche to me. Just check out the knife that tops sells under his name and have a good old laugh. I want survivorman back or a show like dual survival without all the drama.
 
Yeah.....this show kinda irritated me a bit. Didnt really care for it. It seemed rather forced. A very cool show premise once again screwed up by the folks at discovery. Ah, if there totally isnt anything else to do, I might check it out again.

Dual survival is getting about the same way for me. Seems like every show is the same. Dave mouthes Cody, Cody mouthes Dave, Dave gets dinner, They both learn a lesson. Like an 80s sitcom. I still like those 2 guys though, so if you can see through the directed actor BS, its still a cool show. Good skills.

I wish someone would start up a Les Stroud documentary style show. I loved his vision for Survivorman.
