A few things ruined this show for me. First, the amount of repeated footage after every commercial. They were obviously try to extend a little bit of footage into the time slot, but I'd rather just see fewer episodes. Then there's the generated drama: -it's dangerous to cross a river in the middle of winter... but it's fine in the spring? -we're almost out of wood for the stove, crisis!, but in a day we can gather 2 weeks worth. -bears are dangerous, so let's crawl headfirst into a supposed den without a gun. Also, nice sound effects.
This would have been a very interesting documentary, but as a TV show it wasn't very good.
