Anyone get a kick out of these "off grid" t.v. shows?

They all seem cool. Gabe is a bruiser. He's hitting a gym somewhere I can guarantee that.

 

My lady says they all look wet, like they just got out of the shower. Dat soul glo though!

 

Alaskan Bush people is by far the fakest one on T.V. I used to belong to a face book page of people that lived there. Every thing about it is fake, the cabin is just a set built buy the producers. The other side of the Island is a development. They live in town and just go to the set for filming. I guess they are that dumb in real life too.
I met one of the people on another show, Life Below Zero on another forum. On that show the people actually lived where it is filmed and show somewhat actual events, but with drama added. Lots of drama.

 

I don't watch those kind of shows anymore really, season one of Doomsday Preppers was okay, but season two was literally painful to watch. I cringe even thinking about it now. Dude You're Screwed was to me showing how they're(the 'survival' shows) not meant to be taken at face value. DYS I watched for entertainment value, because I got a kick out of watching a bunch of guys doing stupid crap to each other. Though even in 'reality' shows, there are things to learn, you shouldn't automatically dismiss them as the crap they are. I mean even crap can be informative, it can tell you things about whoever left it there, you sure don't wanna be following a bear scat trail when you're only equipped for raccoons.

 

Exactly most if not all are crap but you can learn things even just looking at crap.

Like if you don't have a source or sources of drinkable water don't bother even trying.
If you are a squeamish generation snow flake libtard too afraid to own and use a gun or chain saw don't bother.
If you are a squeamish generation snow flake libtard who can't stomach hunting or butchering an animal don't bother.
If you can't fix things or dont know how to build things, don't bother.
If your life long skill set has you fully reliant on modern society and other people for pretty much everything, don't bother.
If you have to fight your wife and kids kicking a screaming the whole way to walk away from comfortable easy city life, you better cut'em loose or don't bother.
If you thought YouTube will teach you everything you need to know, don't bother trying.
Having even occasional access to serviceable heavy equipment will make like a lot easier.

 

Ever wonder "Why so many of these shows" recently?!?!?!? I think Moto hit the nail on the head, these "shows" are not for folks like us, its for the SHEEPLE, who live the easy life with no thought or cares in the world! I used to watch Bear Grills as I know a lot of S.A.S. guys and have much of the very same experiences as they do. Yes, It's mostly fake, or at best things most of us wouldn't be able to do, but I liked the way it was done, and better, It spawned some very good tools and opened more then a few eyes! This life style isn't that hard, Yes it can be challenging, but a thinking man or woman has a much better chance, and always learning and practiceing what you learn I think are the real keys to making this all work! Experience doesn't always have to hurt to be helpful if you have an understanding of what you are trying to do! These Shows, while laughable to us, show the Sheeple that good times can and will come to an end, and if a few of them can learn and start to grow and start down this path, then it was all good! Laugh on at the funny, but like others have pointed, even some of us can and do learn things we didn't know we needed to know!

 

I just finished watching the Naked and Afraid XL season 1...I still like them. Mostly because I get to sit around with people and argue about what is going on on screen with it paused.
