Excellent, Without a doubt!!

An action-packed slog

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Not a bad show, sure the host may have some quirks that viewers don't like, and the contraptions he builds may be unconventional, but that's what is good about the show. I like seeing him build his gear..it may not be the BEST survival show, but who needs another hum-drum survival show, at least what he builds is interesting and may give viewers ideas of their own..of what 'can' be built from common items.

I agree with each comment made here. The show is really not to be taken seriously because like one comment here made it seems he has just the right Gadget to complete his journey to survive. Two of his shows if he did not have a tracking GPS on him he would be doomed. Also unlike Survivorman who had a camera that he would set up and properly use for the show when he has completed his task. This show seems the cameras are place everywhere from different angles.So are there cameramenThere?

He out Bear Grills, Bear Grill. From the lighter you can clearly see in the Alaskan Glacier episode to the knife cut fish traps in the island one. Such a disappointment. This guy is so full of it. Plus the bad choices he makes over and over again. It's like watching a train wreak and the lies. Most of it post filmed voice-over. He should be ashamed and people trying to repeat what he's doing to survive in the wild have a slim to none chance to live. Not to mention he always has a 'special thing' in his backpack important to the area (glow powder, solar panel ...etc)

The idea of someone using common electronics, like a laptop, phone and even an electronics kit to complement their survival skills, sounded like an interesting idea, especially for kids to educate them about science in a fun and exciting manner.Unfortunately this show doesn't really achieve that goal. The usefulness of the gadgets he makes are debatable, many are completely useless or at least inferior to a low-tech solution.If you are looking for a show to illustrate basic science principles to kids in an entertaining manner, I'd look elsewhere, many people on YouTube do a far better job of that.If you are looking for a new survival show, unless you want to watch someone who appears mostly incompetent at survival, negotiate highly staged obstacles, I'd give this a miss.In saying that, I found that I had a good laugh, mostly at his ineptitude and the sarcastic remarks made by the real survival experts, who provide him with a little advice at the beginning.The production values are on par with other survival shows like Dual Survival and Bear Grylls, so for that I give it 3 stars.
