I received the DVD set very quickly from Canada, only took about 5 days.

Comments:

1) very high quality & production values
2) 9 regular episodes + 1 "behind the scenes" episode
3) Les does great work and goes to a lot of trouble to produce this series
4) Taking the time to watch the episodes provided lots of food for thought regarding survival. I was able to "gel" on some ideas, and got new ideas from watching Les' adventures.
5) common themes: fire is important, improvisation is key. These are things we already know but seeing them in action was good.
6) there are breaks in each episode where a commercial would have run, but they don't spend any time after the break to bring you up to speed. I like this because I get peeved at today's reality programming where the first 2 minutes after the commercial is spent updating people who might not have been watching from the beginning.

I feel the DVD set was very worthwhile. I hope the Survivorman series continues, and if it does I plan to buy future DVD sets of the new episodes.
