New here, so sorry for opening this thread again after uh... close to 5 years...
What I love so much about everything that Les does, is that his focus is on survival, and recording it. Not the sensationalism.
I LOVE the outdoors, and watching shows like Les's shows bring me huge amounts of pleasure... I'm currently watching mountain men, and frankly, I can see the sensationalism... "Oh, if I screw up now, I'm dead" /queiue ominous music! "Phew, I made it"... When it's something they've done a thousand times... I get there are elements added for the amusement of someone who doesn't know better, but it's great to see these men doing what they've always done to live, even though you know they're getting TONS of money from the History channel.... You see them saying things like "If I don't skin this beaver, my whole season is a waste", but you know they're fine... I still enjoy watching the masters at their craft.
My favorite part about "Survivorman and Son" is that he shows you the REAL challenges of surviving with someone who never has before, whom he's responsible for, whom he has to provide for / protect, and someone who is maybe not as appreciative of the severity of their situation... REAL. And that he's never compromised on that aspect.
