I've seen most of the episodes of Survivorman - the guy clearly knows his stuff, but I can barely stand watching the show due to his "drama queen" intensity. I'm sure part of it is caused by the need to make the survival skills come across as critical, and part is just the side effect of doing a one hour monologue - but the overall outcome is quite grating.

I do like the format of the series - ie: a different climate/environment for each episode, rather than focusing on one specific skill each week. This allows for a holistic view of a complete scenario, with the skills used in context.

Anyways, if you can take the melodrama, I would recommend seeking out Survivorman - even to this old dog, Les taught a few new tricks...
