Guys these shows are what they are. However I do like the fact that they are filmed with real characters and not actors.
As for the guy who goes looking for a friend that has been missing 6 hrs. Up there in Alaska at his age 6 hrs. can be a lifetime. And the guy that went looking for him. Well I get the impression that he is still a greenhorn when it comes to the woods. I have never lived in Alaska but I do know enough about the mountains and the woods to know that being prepared for any event is key and letting your guard down for even one moment can lead to getting yourself killed!
We all like to think we are much smarter and better than the folks we see on TV. However I seriously doubt any of us would do to great if we were just dropped off up there on a minutes notice in the woods, without all our comforts we take for granted.
Can you imagine the real greenhorn that went to the mountains back in the days of the real mountain man. I would imagine between everything, the Indians, the cold, the brutal conditions,............etc. etc. etc.
Lets just say if you made it through one year alive you were either not going back into the mountains or you had learned enough to keep you alive for a while longer! :hmm:
Real comfort in that situation comes from years of knowledge. So if you have lived for years in those mountains and woods. You have probably learned enough to keep yourself alive.
When you flip one of these show on you got to expect drama. These show may be about real people but there is a producer and editor that has a big hand in what you see. Often times the end product might make the fellar that is in the "reality show" would probably just shake his head! However most don't have electricity or TV to see themselves on! :rotf:
If you don't want to watch don't but don't sit and complain after you sit and watched it for 20th time, that just ain't real!
It is kind of like Leno says when he tells a joke and it hits too close too home and folks just kind of clap. It's either funny or ain't but please you can't have it both ways!
TV is all about ratings and whether you are happy with the content or not it is produced to get the biggest ratings not necessarily for what is the historically correct. The one thing I like about these kind of shows is better than the other manure on TV these days.
It is kind of like this for me. I have never owned a vehicle that didn't have some kind of a radio in it. Why, because after about an hour I can't stand my own singing!
:rotf: IN short we all are looking for a little entertainment! :blah:
It's rare now days too get a glimpse into real reality on TV. So when I see something on one of these shows that doesn't make sense for a seasoned veteran to do, I just chalk it up too a stupid producer and editor that really doesn't know what reality is but he looking for ratings!
