Southern Survival

The idea of the show sounds great, testing survival equipment. But boy they sure are the wrong people to do this. Guess I should have known better to expect anything decent going by the title of the show.

Very poor yolo style testing. Try hard humor that's cringe. feels like a long bad youtube advert that was given too much of a budget that skips over details.

terrible advice and ill quote what was said mid way through episode 1 "The most important thing we tell people is, if you're in a fire, inside a structure when a fire happens, get out." You don't say???

This show is an infomercial for Battlbox. Is this the future of advertising on Netflix? Ads are why I don't have cable TV!

The talentless cast stumbles through awkward, heavily-scripted scenes. Sometimes there are explosions, which are the high point of the show.

It is unclear if the cast represents real rednecks or an ironic representation of rednecks as imagined by a corporation.

I added two stars for the camera crew, who did their best to capture visually exciting shots.

These guys sound like their combined IQ is less than 30!!!! Why would I trust their info about safety and survival when I can't even trust that they have even a basic command of the English language????? Some of these guys speak like they didn't even make it past the third grade!!! if you're going to host any kind of show the VERY LEAST you could do is speak intelligibly. You practically need a Redneck decoder ring to understand these people!!! Although, to be fair, Mikki Montgomery actually sounded like she has a good head on her shoulders and knows how to use her gray matter. The guys left much to be desired.

It seems to be more about the people in the show making it about themselves, than the products they are testing, way too long between products tested.

I've built quite a few BOBs etc and good to see what I've got in action without trashing mine 😆
