N and A is just about who can make a fire and go without food for 21 days. Not many skills are needed, just fasting skills. The general theme is often repeated: the guy is a macho ex-military guy whose supreme confidence fades as he strikes out at hunting. The girl is a hippie who can weave hats and baskets, and find a few items of food. The guy gets humbled, turns out all he's good for is heavy lifting. End of show.

I just tried to watch a show on Netflix called "Remote Survival".
The idea is to take 2 novices and outfit them with remote monitoring gear and radios with various unmanned cameras set up along the way. 2 survival experts off in a nice comfortable camp then attempt to remotely walk them through what they need to do to make it through a multiple day course.
I managed all of about 10 minutes, before these 2 city guys even made it through the first "obstacle", before I turned it off.

I just tried to watch a show on Netflix called "Remote Survival" The show is so set up it's pitiful. It's supposedly done with drones which have at best a battery life of 15 minutes. They try to make it look like they follow them the whole time. I doubt they are "remote" at all at best a mile from the nearest road. |
