Bacpac:

We have viewed all the episodes and echo some of your comments.

Yes some of the survival lessons are light, however there are few things I gleaned from the show and is filed away in the future knowledge bank.

The man Mykel Hawke certainly knows his stuff and yes the "Honey and Babe" endearments get old however after awhile we kind of got used to / ignored it. His wife who had no prior or little outdoors survival experience did better in some of the later episodes as she gained confidence and knowledge/skills.

All in all, not a bad show and it is worth noting that on some episodes, Mother Nature won some of the survival battles and added some realism (relatively speaking) to the show.
