In terms of clothing, I absolutely agree. It's worth saying though that Cody said out loud that he didn't recommend going with short pants and no shoes for anybody who hasn't been doing it for 20 years.

Dave in my mind really screwed up when he took his birchbark torch to go check his deadfall traps at night. That was dumb.

Dave's porcupine kill was skillful and clean, and I learned more about field dressing game from that show than I have from any other video (I've never hunted or killed anything to eat other than fish). Both Dave and Cody talked about using every part of your kill.

Cody's shelter was excellent. I wish we'd seen a little more of how he built it. I also liked his approach to grazing while gathering slow-moving protein.

While the director and editor did emphasize the "odd couple" theme of the show, we did see Cody and Dave work well together for the most part.

All in all I liked the show.
