Nope. .

Did a bit of research and it didn't look like it was. I edited the link.

[19thCentury]

I have no idea. I thought it was. Figured if it was up & running it was legal...

Well I am surprised that nobody said one of my favorites that held my interest in my youth. "My Side Of The Mountain" about a teenage boy that runs away and survives in a hollow trunk of a tree!! C'mon don't tell me I'm the only one that saw that one.

How about, "The adventures of the Wilderness Family"? I loved that one when I was a kid. Also, "my side of the mountain".

It's a guy flick but it transcends the category.
Nominated for all kinds of Oscars.
Both Mr. B & I loved it. And that says a lot.

Hulu.com is legal and free. haven't searched for any of the titles mentioned in the thread , but I know they have a series called survival school about the The Air Force S.E.R.E program and a couple zombie movies . And if I had to say a favorite survival movie, I would go with Jeremiah Johnson . No maybe mad max. or maybe red dawn yeah defintly rambo .

I found a good little bushcraft movie at Goodwill called "The Earthling".
A flaky 80's movie with William Holden and "Ricky" Schroder.
Set in Australia, there were some great skills demonstrated through out the movie.
Worth checking out just for the bedroll lean-to combo.

Great movie! Got it Goodwill? Man, what a score! Haven't seen it in years. My favorite sene is when he tells the kid, "They might eat you up and poop you out, and make the flowers grow ,but that don't matter none."... LOL Or something like that. Wish I had it!

Just watched the show Snow Walker starring Barry Pepper and Annabella Piugattuk (who happens to be a true Canadian Inuit) and James Cromwell. It's reviewed earlier in this thread by swampyankee...

" It's about an Alaskan bush pilot who doesn't care for the natives who crashes while transporting a sick Inuit woman. Of course, he ends up surviving by relying on her wilderness skills."

I would add that it's based on the book "Walk Well, My Brother" and is set in 1953 Arctic Canada.

Charles Martin Smith, who you've seen in countless movies, directs this flick and he does a really great job with it. From starting fire with flint to the use of herbal plants I thought it was well acted and well directed.

This is not the greatest flick you'll ever see but a good one. It's entertaining and sort of a throw back to days when movies were just nice and didn't have tons of stuff blowing up and tons of vulgarity.

Most memorable scene: The mosquitoes. Unbelievable. I would not have even made this flick if subjected to that. Pepper is a brave man.

Man that is a great movie! Thanks for reminding me of it!

When I was in my 30's my older sister saw it for the first time. She called and told me "I just watched a movie about a kid just like you!"

One of my favourites.... Northwest Passage starring Spencer Tracy.

many years ago there was a movie where there were
no major wars or conflicts iinvolving many men & women
anymore. instead the two warring nations would each pick
their best warrior....these two would be placed on an
isolated island, to try and kill one or the other...whoever
succeeded won the conflict and also the demands for
the winning country. anybody??
