Anyone watching this seasons ? Can’t get enough of this program
It’s like Alaskan frontier series; the voice over would suggest that if they don’t manage to shoot a deer the family will starve but they are only actually 7 miles from the nearest town with supermarket, bars, doctors etc.
Still enjoy it though!

It does exist but no one, including me, would be prepared to give up absolutely everything and go primitive. It can be done, because none of us would be here today if it couldn't. Problem is we have evolved to become reliant upon the things we have today. So evolved that we dont know how, or dont want to truly live without them. My opinion, its another form of control, we are reliant upon something that we can't live without, but allows big brother to know where you are, what your up to, even to know you intimately. Big social control experiment that none of us can escape. Thats why no one can truly live wild.When you look at all these programmes, none of the cast are truly 'off grid' cut off the supply of petrol and they would be well stuffed, no more generators, no more skidoos, no more internet etc, remove the outside world...no more propane, no more paraffin, no more ammunition.
Same goes for 'off griders' in the UK, they are looking for a lifestyle that in reality does not exist, sure they can choose not to use services like water, power and sewage but none of them are really self reliant... its all a dream.
I don't agree totally Jon, my aunt and uncle has a small holding just outside hastings, they hand built their bungalow based on an Irish Croft and there water came from a well they dug by hand. Being veggies they grew their own food and foraged and it was all cooked on their open fire. The 2 girls used to go to school in hand carved wooden Dutch style clogs again carved by Fred out of hazle, couldn't have done there feet any harm because Moyra went on to become the prima ballerina of the Stockholm ballet. So not completely living wild but pretty much as close as you can getIt does exist but no one, including me, would be prepared to give up absolutely everything and go primitive.

As close as you can get Joe. Would be my dream to live that close! But as for living like the original mountain men and their counterparts the native Americans, I think those days are long gone. Forever lost.I don't agree totally Jon, my aunt and uncle has a small holding just outside hastings, they hand built their bungalow based on an Irish Croft and there water came from a well they dug by hand.

I think your probably right, in our hearts think we would all like to back to basicsAs close as you can get Joe. Would be my dream to live that close! But as for living like the original mountain men and their counterparts the native Americans, I think those days are long gone. Forever lost.
I enjoy it Mark especially Eustace simply because he's living his dreamAh it is what it’s is lol. For me it’s a bit of entertainment of something I would like a go. Not everyone’s cup of tea right enough but that’s ok
