    Thanx Rick
    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 just watched it. It was on Direct TV at 6:PM (Which is 10:PM EDT). They made too big of a deal about the bears. But it was pretty accurate. The people were dirty, there coats and cloths were dirty. Some one could have told her how to "Bonk" a fish on the top of the head, not beat it about the side, but she got it done. Overall I would give it a B+ as they sure could have edited it to a different lame spin.

    Owl Girl - you should have seen it last week. The girls started out ok, but within an hour of getting to their cabin and taking an inventory of their food, and knowing they did not have enough to last, they dove into a jar of peanut butter. You're right about b*tchy - spoiled rotten too.

    I wanted to reach into the tv and slap them both. After watching the first one I think the husband/wife on the beach have the best chance.

    I'm guessing by the end of this they will either grow up, kill each other, or drive their dad to sleep outside.

    Won't give away what happened because it hasn't aired yet in some places, but the couple with the out of shape guy pleasantly suprised me.

    Just finished watching it. The guy that got the goat seems to have the survival mind set. The 2 groups of 3 need to start working together better especialy the guy with the 2 daughters. He needs to find his balls. I hope to 2 in the walltent catch a break soon or things are going to get real bad for them.

    Maybe. But from an outsider looking in I'll tell you my head was on a swivel the whole time I was there. I felt about like the show portrayed. The same way about gators when I was in remote areas of Florida. Some might call it chicken sh**. I prefer to think of it as finely tuned senses.

    The couple that was successful in canning all their fish. Is it just me or did that look like meager supplies for the winter?

    I hope they were just showing the process and not the entire end result. If that was it, they had better become very proficient in hunting kind of quickly.
