Survival TV Shows......Witch one is the best?

[PMZ908]

Dual Survival has a great formula. Two experts, demonstrating different techniques and working through survival problems in a sane manner. Each episode has a lot of educational content, and the interaction between Dave and Cody is entertaining. They're both actually pretty funny and have some great lines throughout the show. Each man is a great character and could carry a show on their own, but together, their awesome.

I really like Dual Survival--it's hands down my favorite survival show. Survivorman was good, but often fairly slow, uneventful and low on actual survival knowledge. Les sets up camp, finds some water and tries and usually fails to get some food.

Man vs. Wild is, well, Man vs. Wild. Bear Grylls is an entertaining jack *bleep*, but it's not really a survival show. You don't learn much of anything watching it and few should attempt to do most of the things that Bear does. He takes crazy risks, climbs all sorts of things that only a wold-class rock climber could and eats nasty, diarrhea-inducing stuff.

I only watch these when my husband wants to. His opinions are pretty much the same as yours. He likes Dual Survivor best of the ones you mentioned, but his favorite was the one where a group traveled through Venezuela. He said the first (and better) season was in Alaska. I cannot remember the name, maybe Into the Wild?

I think Survivorman is the best. Les goes alone. No film crew. He shares the survival tips in a way we can understand. It is more real that way. But the dual guys are funny.
