sounds about right, but its classed as a "New" show so not sure if its been aired in the UK before.

I was a little 'american' but the next episode looks good they catch, gut and preserve/cook a large deer

I watched about 10 minutes of this, but had to turn over, could not get into it at all!

Yeah agreed but I did find it interesting in the way that it showed a lot of people are too concerned about their modern comforts and think they can't do things when infact if they stopped moaning for a minute and just knuckled down they could achieve things in a surival situation. (thinking of the people in this programe who refused to eat, then had no energy to do anything and be an active part in the group.)

I think it highlighted for me that if there was a bad scenario and you found yourself in a group situation, you would have to face a number of people that sat down and said "I can't" or "I won't" and some of you would end up doing all the work. You would also have those that had their own agenda and refused to go along with what the group felt was the best. My husabnd and I are pretty stong mentally but we both have close friends who pyscologically can't even cope with their own private worlds on a day to day basis, so how on earth would they deal with a shtf situation?

Maybe I should have started a separate thread on this kind of thing?

thats the whole point, they WONT survive unless they get off their rears and do something about it.
