Dual Survival Audience Reviews

GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Blake Rivera If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
Milton Lau This series has some credibility, that was until Joe Teti joined the program. Usually the criteria and content of context is presented in reasonable pretense. With relevant accuracy and facts for the viewer to process. But the credibility factor went out the window when Joe joined the program. Joe's behavior and half-arsed, amateur stuntman antics undermines the credibility of the producers to bring to the viewer a good piece of entertainment and educational product for the viewing audience. During earlier appearances, his "acting and posing" annoyed his partner in the program (Cody). Joe's bad acting and phony posing, underscores that the show should not be taken seriously, that it is solely an entertainment for the pleasure of the audience.In the episode shot in Hawaii, Joe made a lot of bad errors of show-boatman-ship. 1) randomly hacking away at growing bamboo, to the average viewer you might think "big deal". Except in Hawaii, there are several varieties of bamboo that are on the endangered species list, because very few examples exist in the wilds of Hawaii's islands. Some species of bamboo are exclusive to just one island, while a few species are exclusive to the Hawaiian islands, out of the hundreds of species of bamboo in the world. The state department of natural resources could bar Mr. Teti from ever coming back to Hawaii on the grounds of violating the local laws and ordnances written to protect endangered species. He could just be out right arrested, the next time he shows up in Hawaii. 2) The impromptu, killing of a wild pig - by Joe Teti in the Hawaii episode, was done in bad form. For the crew who were probably trying to shoot the program on the premise of being tourists shooting a documentary. Normally in regular circumstances, to hunt pigs in the wild areas, a permit is required and to register with island game wardens, precautions must be taken to not leave exposed animal remains that could become contaminated and proliferate the spreading of viruses and diseases. I would not be surprised to learn the entire production crew and everyone involved in the shoot of that episode, may be liable for violating county ordnances, laws in the state of Hawaii that protect wildlife and for violating preservation areas. Because many trails are public access, going off the trails is illegal and a fine-able offense. 3) openly violating rules for personal safety and violating animal protection laws in a state of the United States of America, is not a thing to flaunt in a program that anyone could view - and misunderstand, when they go to visit Hawaii on their own.There were no disclaimers on either end of the program, about open violation of laws in the shooting of that episode.There are other loose ends that Joe Teti, has imposed upon the program, that undermines the credibility of the overall program for viewers to consider on the merit of the program as a whole. If you watch with an objective eye, you will see him embarrass himself on every show.
Jack I really love this show, you get to know a lot of useful information that can help you not only in a "survival" situation, but also in everyday situations (camping in the woods, hiking etc.). What makes this show awesome, is that you don't have only one person showing you how to survive in different environments, but two experts - one, that has military training and most people can relate to (at least in his way of thinking) and second, who is a minimalist, has experience in primitive survival techniques and is walking around almost half naked (in shorts and barefoot, no matter of the environment), which most people with me along, can't / couldn't understand. With this combination you can see how each of them manages different situations, different techniques of surviving etc. and who knows, one day even someone among us could find him self in a "survival" situation half naked.Also I really like that they don't always agree or have different views of situations and that makes them special. You can see how each of them deals with a different situation and also how they help each other.So if you like survival shows, like Man vs. Wild with B.G., you will definitely like this show!
EatingSteak This is one of my favorite shows on TV right now, and easily the best on Discovery. It contains all the content that made "Old Discovery Channel" great and represents everything that it should be.There's a ton of exposure to nature, a lot of adventure and suspense, and a good bit of humor. It's really amusing to see Dave (or Joe) and Cody fight over their strategy, and always a treat to see Cody eating something gross and his partner too grossed out to even try.The scenarios are brilliantly thought-out. Every situation is a pretty plausible "hike in the woods" or "extreme adventure" gone wrong. The challenges presented are unique and cover every corner of the world, including many that don't seem overtly hazardous. Dave and Cody are dropped off with minimal gear, with a goal to make their way to safety. There are plenty of mishaps, quarrels, and humorous situations along the way, which make this one of the most enjoyable survival shows on TV.
forkus These two guys are good together. You start off laughing at Cody, but then you come to respect what a bad ass he is in his own right. There are elements of humor throughout most episodes that are genuinely funny due to the unusual pairing. I've watched lots of survival shows and this one seems to have something the others are missing- an entertainment factor that doesn't require fake scenarios put in only for TV purposes. The guys provide entertainment and they really teach you how to survive along the way. The locations are standard survival fare, but each of the guys has a different background which means one of them will usually be taking the lead and the other will be learning new tricks. All in all, I would say this is my favorite survival show. Even my kids find it entertaining.
