New Show starts tonight. Surviving Alaska on Natgeo

[rodney482]

This is the show that they kicked Melissa Bachman off of because she is a hunter due to an outcry from the antis. I don't think I'll be watching because of that.

I am with you!!! Piss on Nat Geo

I think nat geo "punched the clown upside Down" (look that one up on urban dictionary)

Damn Ozz08. I learn a lot of good stuff on this site but I am not sure I am better off for now knowing what that means……but agree with you. Bunch of clown punchers (it does have a nice ring to it).

Am I the only one who just got totally confused for about 15 minutes reading this thread?

Too much similarity between two Bachmans that start with M...Michelle and Melissa. I thought we were talking about a congresswoman for a short time there.

Back to the show - I tried but its just not for me. From the magical appearance of 300+ ft of climbing rope to the standing hug to maintain body warmth to the fake fall into the crevasse, its more scripted than a Bear Grilles adventure.

The very first season of Surviving Alaska was the best so far in my opinion. I will have to look into the anti hunting accusations though. I will not watch the show or channel if it is.

I really wanted to like this show but......
Between the "Pack rafts that each explorer is carrying" yet ol' Marty just had to try and wade with his gold pan loin cloth.
Or "The ice on this glacier is really slick - good thing we just happened to have these crampons"
Or the whole debacle of Marty "flipping" his pack raft, losing everything and being separated from the others "close to death".
Or the best yet was Marty and his Grizz slaying .22 mag revolver.
