Man, Women, Wild any one watch it

Jesus guys, just bury the damn horse. They're bees. Yes I've seen them too, and been stung. Go around them once disturbed.

I really regret posting in this thread.
 
Not a bad show overall. It had way way too much kissing and hugging. That really turned me off.
 
I think it is a good twist and good info to have if you decide to take your city slickin girlfriend/wife out to enjoy your hobbies like backpacking/camping. I remember taking my ex on a day hike in Arizona and she had a tantrum like a little kid and demanded we stop and eat now. She's my ex for a reason! :)
 
Well all,
I did like the shelter they built and I am not sure about the peeing on the ladder to keep the big cats away. Since I am not from there who knows.
Maybe Jeff Randall or Mike Perrin will chim in and tell us if that is a good idea or not,
Jeff or Mike??

I thought the fire bed that they made from mud and then dried it out was a cool Idea, instead of having there fire on the ground having there fire upon there shelter plat form was a cool. There way of starting a fire looked like a pain to do though. Using a Bic sure would have made it easyer lol.

The plant that had big leaves and then loooooong thorns on the back side I would not want to walk into. I hate thorns.

I would like to try that one plant that Myke had Ruth try for getting the waterish plant liquid from.

I think building a raft would be fun and using jungle vines to tie it together would be neat and then flaoting it down to the amazon river would be fun.

That ant that Ruth mentioned about its bite being something like 40 times more painful than a wasp sting. YIKES they can keep that type of ant down
there lol.

All in all I liked the show for what it was worth. LIke others have said it was better to me than watching some of the other stuff on tv.
But I am interested in this stuff bushcraft,survival, woodslore, outdoor craft skills what ever you want to call it.

I will say this though I am still shaking my head at R R saying he is taking a vacation form watching survival type of shows:eek:, WHAT???
John has a interest in this stuff and yet says he is not going to watch any of them. I do not get it butttttt, if that is what John wants to do then have at it.

Spooky Pistolero, out of all the things that you could have said about the show and you say it turns you off that this guy who was in the Green Berets
(From my understanding that is what Special Forces is). says that he has seen some fellow Green Berets disturb a hive and some of them got the snot stung out them and they went down so Spooky really does not care for the show. To each there own.

Here is what I take away from this thread. Some thought the show was good
enough to watch the next one and some did not.

I think the Ray Mears shows are the best, then Les Shrouds for me it is a toss up between Dual Survival and Man, Women wild and then Bear and his goofyness comes in last lol.

They are all getting to go places I will never get to go to and they are getting paid to boot. How awesome is that.

Chat with you all later,

Bryan
 
I liked the show. My first impression of Hawke was the he was over the top but as I watched the show he did seem to have some personality to him. The format of this one really lends itself well to demonstrating method and skills and for that I am thankful. Less about acrobatics and more about getting stuff done. As for skweemish girl, well who among us doesn't have a little of that in our lives :D :D I still would have ate the turtle :)
 
I saw the rebroadcast this morning for the first time, and I have to say I liked it. I actually saw a few things being done a little differently, and that's a good thing; alternatives are always good.

Having read much of this thread before I actually saw the show, I was expecting her to be whinier than she actually was (kind of like one of my ex girlfriends), but she really wasn't that bad at all. It was a new experience for her, and she adapted pretty well, for the most part. Yeah, she whined a little, but she was so darned cute about it, that I was more amused than put off.

Overall, I liked it.

That's the ant that the natives call the Izula, and where ESEE got the name for their neck knife. Jeff Randall talked about this a long time ago, about that ant's sting being worse than anything you've ever felt.


Overall (just watched the show on YouTube), I like the show, a lot.

I found her reactions to be quite realistic, even if she has been around the world, it's different when you don't have guides and prepared meals along with you.

I think Myke Hawke plays up the super commando dude thing quite a bit, but not having been in the SF, I can't say if all his talk of missions and "firefights not too far from here" are BS or not. I would like to know if that's how he talks all the time, or if that's his commando voice. If it's his real voice, he needs to make a show with that monster truck announcer guy: "Yyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrr NotEatingThat gooooodddddaaaaammmmmmm TURTUUUULLLLLLLLLLLL!"

Besides, what other survival show has a smokin' little hottie like his wife on it??

And that's certainly one reason I'll watch the show again. I'd much rather watch her than Bear Grylls.:D
 
Meh... I didn't really like it much. His wife was pretty irritating and he has a cocky attitude that turned me off a bit. (Granted, it's most likely deserved but still got under my skin.)

Likeability of the hosts is a huge part of any show and I don't think this one has it. I don't see it lasting long as a sidekick to Dual Survival.

But I'll watch it every week until its canceled.:D

Your dead, I'm soooooo telling her. I owe you one....or five.:D
 
Ya his wife was pretty cute and that's why he puts up with the girlyness and didn't kill the turtle because we all know if he killed the turtle (actually a tortoise on the show) that his turtle would have stayed dry in it's shell too. :) Have any of you guys seen Bear Grylls wife? That is one fugly chick. No wonder he is gone all of the time kissing snakes instead of at home.
 
I must say, I watched all I could stand. I thought it was really bad.
His cockiness was only funny for about 20 seconds and her voice was way beyond irritating. The personas they are affecting are so trite its not even laughable after the first few minutes.
But that is just my opinion.

That is a good pic of her. I saw her once on a show and that does not even look like the same woman. Maybe I saw her at her absolute worst or maybe it was the troll nanny I thought was his wife.
