I thought the show was pretty good. Those were some tough, tough conditions for sure. The thought of running out of water, basically equalling death is just, scarey. I'm on the US east coast, theres water Everywhere.
My wife and I were looking at each other like: "Ok were never going to the Desert". (short of Vegas )
I just can't think of a good reason for me to be there, so in that aspect the show was not really appealing to me, but fun none the less. I am really looking foward to the Alaska episode!

On the bird nest deal, why didn't he find a forked branch, and fashion as "swatter" with the seat cushion from the truck. I bet he could have knocked a few birds down. lol
