Home Rescue - Wohnen in der Wildnis

I truly like The Raneys...and having lived in Alaska, I get them...plus their off-grid philosophy. However...the drama as a part of every episode is silly. From the "I'm not sure if this homestead can be saved..." to "oh Dad...that tree almost fell on you, I was so scared!" Please...contrived...so contrived.

Some of their "off-grid" folks are frustrating to me. They call on the Raneys to help...then either resist the help or whine about the changes taking place. Such babies!!

Overall, I enjoy the show...Matt is my fav...such a kind-hearted man. Misty is lovely and such a garden knowledgeable gal. Dad is dad...big ego, but sense of humor and a love for what he does.

It wasn't my plan to watch this. Now I've just binged watched 5 hours of this unexpectedly. I love what they do for these families even if some of it is exaggerated. Although I would not homestead, I try to live a more self-sufficient lifestyle. That's what drew me into the show. It provides watchers with a lot of ideas, reusing materials and providing knowledge.

But... Dad is a legend in his own mind.

I have no doubt he knows what he's talking about. He can come up with some pretty ingenious solutions to difficult problems. Misty and Mat both learned a great deal from him and expanded on that, very much to the good.

I've seen some of the shows here and there, and recently decided to start watching them in order on Discovery +. I'm on the third one (because the second show of season 1 isn't available for streaming) and the homeowners in this one are utter morons.

First of all, they call the Raneys to their home to help them not just survive, but thrive. They refuse every single bit of advice the Raneys give them, 100%. The husband is also a complete narcissist who wouldn't take advice from a woman (Misty) if his life depended on it. He actually said to her, "I'm the one who lives here so I know what it's really like." Really? Is that why the Raneys are there? Because YOU know better than them?

I hope the homesteaders become less moronic as time goes on. The couple in the third show of the first season rely more on YouTube videos than they do three people who have homesteaded their entire lives and the complete lack of intelligence when it comes to animals and living in the country have me ready to scream.

I love this show !!! I've been in construction for over 35 years. Ingenious ideas and Master problem solvers. It's not easy to work in the conditions and with limited tools and supplies. Well done Marty, Misty And Matt.

I am appalled at how freaking rude, mean, prideful and ungrateful the Millenial homesteaders are to the Rainey's. Season 1 episodes 1 & 3 the homesteaders all needed to be slapped. Young, stupid, ignorant and ungrateful. I give the Rainey's much credit for hanging in there.
