    Wish I could watch it. Mostly what I drove were "Super Cubs" (Piper PA-18).

    Not sure if you watched the preview clip or not. I love it when the woman driving the fork lift says "Those Ice Road Truckers are a bunch of p*****s".

    My guess is she was talking about "Alaskan Survivalist".......

    Well I watched the show and it was interesting but not quite as good as I had anticipated. I think it will be better as time goes by and the characters become more familiar. One thing for sure my body could not take the cold of Alaska, but then where in the U.S. could a person go right now to be warm? LOL!!!

    We used to play with those as kids. It sucks when you have to stop and rewind the rubber band.
    1. If it's in your kit and you don't know how to use it....It's useless.
    2. If you can't reach your kit when you need it....Its useless.

    I was looking forward to seeing it. Fell asleep in my chair. Oh well, I'm sure they'll replay it.

    I give it an okay rating. It was interesting to watch but nothing special. The best line in the whole show was the guy's daughter. "I'm the worst eskimo ever. I hate the cold." I thought that was pretty funny.
