The show has gone from a show I recorded and watched enthusiastically to a show that I forget which day of the week it is on. It is barely on my radar. I have been a huge fan of these survival shows from the start with Les Stroud being my favorite and Dual Survivor a close second.
I have, however, grown bored of watching the same show over and over in a different part of the world. I understand that shelter, fire, water, and rescue are the priorities of survival, but these shows seem to be on REPEAT!
No new skills.
It is the same crap over and over.... And over. Very staged. Always finding a pack with fire making supplies, blades, containers, etc. Granted, most that go in the woods will have at some if not all of the supplies. I want to learn true survival techniques, not killing a hog that I am sure a guide trapped, surviving out of a back pack full of supplies (and in the case of Bear Grylles surviving in the woods near a highway or hotel, which was commonplace during his taping).
