Hey,
So Yep, just started to watch it .... it's another lame attempt from the Disco Channel to show or entice the southern US yanks to world of SURVIVAL and the fantastic outdoor adventures in bloody Saskatchewan. (YAWN)
What a crock, from the opening credit where we're told they're in Northern Sask which they then take care to tell you is "south" of the Arctic Circle to increase the bullshit drama. Yea its SOUTH like 600 freaken kilometers south you lying pieces of crap Discovery producer's. Gurney Prod.
It follows the usual Disco Channel scheme of really excessively over dramatic sounds beds and stings to create drama out of sweet bugger all. You know, da da DA DA DA!!and nothing happens.
Maybe the yanks in the US don't know any better but I mean god, I live in Calgary, AB right beside the wilds of Saskatchewan and I worked in IT and lived in New York, Seoul, and London and hell yea I hunt every bloody year .... big freaken whoop! What is it boy? Is it cool and surprising that meat doesn't just come on foam trays in the store? So they hunt and eat deer and moose la-de-da so do I and half of my friends.
As for a cabin - uh yea, what did you expect? Here's a tip - when that white stuff called snow hits the ground and winter arrives it's cold outside. Where's the drama and action in that? Spark up the stove or light a fire in the cabin, you don't have to but it'll suck without it - trust me.
Oh yea, and now we're in to the WOLF ATTACK during the big hunt in episode one! Jesus Christ you know you see "if" you see a wolf? You might see his ass running like hell away from you if you're lucky - WHAT CRAP TELEVISION!!
Like the other reviews I've read here on IMDb - its a couple of dorks "in the woods" if you can call it that and it's pointless and stupid to watch. You wanna play outdoor boy? Put on a backpack and start walking and yes, you can probably legally snare and eat squirrels when you get hungry out there in the bush, me? I fire up the gen set and nuke a pizza. (grin) But I will put moose pepperoni on it so its macho and rugged.
Now you know why it wasn't picked up for another season. The biggie there is the Barks won't be getting a fat check from the producers. Poor babies, if they hit like Dumbest Catch they could have sold Barks Camping Hoodies and Tarter Sauce like those poor struggling scab crab fisherman.
BUSTED!! In show 7 they trek the billions of miles across the frozen wilderness to Carrot Creek, SK to go get gas - too bad for them they show the name of the taxidermist they drop off some furs at. A google search reveals the town - its in "northern saskatchewan"
LIARS !
It's about as far north as bloody Edmonton ..... you lying pieces of Discovery Television crap!! You are such scum!!
Cheers' Dave
