Mountain Men - Überleben in der Wildnis

I seen the rating on here and was pretty shocked with how low it was. I love the show and haven grown up in the mountains in upstate NY i can say it is pretty accurate. I'm no mountain man but i am no stranger to the way of life either. The show is authentic so ignore any haters.

The only thing about it that i find annoying is that they repeat themselves way too much. I lost track of how many times i heard bears are dangerous. Or you can't fight the weather... Other than that small gripe i enjoy it very much.

I think more Americans need to learn how to survive and live off of the land, i fear we have become far too separated from nature. The show might help to actually teach people a thing or two. Nothing too complex as there is an element of drama for TV.

Hopefully it will spark some interest in the freedoms out country should be enjoying rather than the hustle and bustle of the average 9-5 wageslave. These men are truly free. You have to respect that!

It's hard to rate this series because some of the talent is cursed with terrible fake production and others are good. Each segment deserves its own rating. The Hawk family could be a good segment but winds up being the worst because of the terrible set ups by the production staff. The scenes with them noodling for catfish were so fake it should just be skipped over. The best segments are with the Tom Oor. Second best are Eustace. Anything with the hunting dogs are fast forward worthy.

I've watched the show for years but the cut Away to different segments has gotten old And they take forever to finish a segment because of commercials and cut sways and Recaps . It's just bad editing and continuity Can't keep watching

I'm enjoying the subject of the show, but the constant recap gets extremely annoying. 2/3 of each episode is recapping content of the current episode.

@ 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!
