Such a frustrating disappointment

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

I started watching this a few days ago and the show is obviously scripted reality. They create fake problems and say very inaccurate things. "My riffle misfired because it wasn't sited in properly"? The only thing the site and trigger have in common is that they are connected to the same gun. And episode 4 the one I just got done watching. What freaking tiny Toyota pickup on the planet weighs 5 tons! THAT IS 10000 LBS! The show is just plagued with tons of inaccuracies and fake drama. It could of been a good show if it just focused on teachings and showed how to do things when living in the wild. Next show produced like this should hire writers that don't live in a condo above a grocery store in a city.

@ bg_7774 from Tennessee...you are incorrect. An opossum that gets into your coop will target eggs and young chicks, but they are certainly known to kill adult chickens as well. Small chickens are especially at risk. When they kill adult chickens, they will take one or more, and leave remains quite similar to what a raccoon leaves: the body or bodies will usually be left where they were killed, rather than carried away.The show itself is entertaining. I like the different locations that are portrayed. I like men too. They all bring their own unique flavor to the show.Sometimes the events seem scripted, but I can look past that as they are produced for engaging the audience.I like it!

the laughable bottom of the barrel for reality shows; but will he be able to fight through the snowstorm- says the voice-over as the camera is there already, searching for the arrival- then cut to commercial; the worst is s southern con man called eustace who has an avaricious website that belies his supposed lifestyle of living off the land; among other travesties- he and a friend ride to the sound of chain saws to shoot whomever is cutting their trees, in the wilderness he supposedly lives in; nope; it a developer on his own side of the property line; looking for the real thing? try the by now quite old dick proneke book and documentary he filmed himself- real loner surviving the wilderness in style; the kirchers reality is better than mountain men, but suffers from the same hype- and we're so remote, so self-reliant, hunting, fishing so we don't starve- so what are all those old cars doing there? dropped from the sky?

It's funny how they tell us this is about people who live off the grid but none of them actually do. Marty is off grid when on his trap line but his home is quite modern, as are the others. While the voice-over does over dramatize and exaggerate the "danger aspect" for the most part we do see an honest portrayal of how Marty, Tom and the others live. The one exception is Eustace Conway who's story is total fiction. He does not live off the land but off the people who pay good money to visit his land. He in truth raises almost none of his own food. He claims to live on less than $2,000 per year and that selling firewood is his only source of cash income but check out his website, Turtle Island Preserve. You can visit Turtle Island and get a 2 hour buggy ride for $65 or take a half-day course on how to carve a wooden spoon for $95 but to send your kid to camp is $700 for 7 days or $1400 for 14 days. He claims to live like Daniel Boone but did Ol' Dan have his own website? This phony is a great disappointment and promoting such an obvious phony makes one question the whole series. Eustace is like a televangelist begging viewers to contribute when in fact he is in no need of help but is actually rather well to do. Very disappointing indeed.
