Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Alistair Olson After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

angela_armstrong I really liked the show. It truly shows that we need to learn how to survive in desperate situations. Even in everyday life, it shows how we can even make things work during power outages in and around home. So when will a third season start? I hope soon. Also, a lot of the ideas that Creek mentioned is something that is practical. We need to be more active in our everyday lives to avoid all of the health issues that we have. Although he has them in extreme conditions, at times, who knows what will happen in the near future. I do know that I need to learn more survival skills in and around my home. I would love to see this show come back on the air. I realize that I am repeating myself, but when will this happen?

peggyprecinct We enjoy the show and when Creek said he was running out of ideas...What about using belly button lint as tinder? All fat guys have it. The only problem might be having more of it for solo day. Otherwise, keep on truckin'! We live in Texas and would like to see survival tips for areas that are typical Texas hill country or Gulf Coast, which includes defense against chiggers and ticks, as well as mosquitoes. There were episodes in a southwest desert and Florida Everglades, I think, but most of the episodes pit man against cold weather. Husband and I won't watch a women's version. IMHO, women aren't as much fun to watch undergoing challenges and I am a woman.

tuckersworkmail This beats out Naked and Afraid and Dual Survival for actual real life survival tips and the format and host is more enjoyable than Remote Survival. Creek is pretty good and really could carry a more versatile show.His tips are practical and made for real life situations and people, not dramatized ratings grabbing BS.Where the show lacks is the setting. It's a low budget show made for very out of shape people to complete, so I doubt we'll see very challenging terrain and due to that I'm not sure the show has a long term future, but it's still good for now.Creek does a good job of balancing survival with the less interesting motivational aspects of the show, but most importantly is he just has good, straight forward advice and tips. It's not an exciting backdrop with huge cliffs and white water rapids, but it's still a very fun show and watching people overcome some of their issues isn't so bad.I think Creek has a good TV persona and could easily carry a more robust survival show. Plus he isn't out hunting Bigfoot. I'd like to see him put in a more versatile format since Fat Guys In The Woods is ultimately a pretty narrow focus.I will say I think the shows title is a bad idea and too focuses on merely being fat. Truth be told, fat or not, if you're not used to manual labor and you go out into the wild, it's going to be hard. You'd be better off as a fat guy who does labor than a skinny guy who works at a desk all day. It also limits the show to generally just people who are overweight. A better take on the idea would be to focus on people with sedentary lifestyles in general. Not all of them would have to be fat, because most skinny people are also out of shape also and most people in developed countries in general lack mental toughness. I think the title may be off putting to some people, but the show does have some very practical tips and Creek smartly uses trapping often, which is less dramatic, but far more practical and efficient. I also like that the show doesn't spend much time on obstacle challenges like so many other survival shows. There is no entertainment value in watching people wade through swamps or slowly crawl over mangroves. It's mostly just about finding a good camp, building shelters, getting fire, water and food.

Drojan-1 This is how Bear Grylls "new" show (Running Wild with Bear Grylls)should be. Creek is a real life outdoors survival instructor, Eagle Scout, and all around outdoors-man. He not only tells you like it is but also shows you how to survive in the wild by walking you through the steps as real teacher. Creek does not pointlessly go out of his way to make the show "adventurous" or "entertaining" as Bear Grylls does (which is more dangerous and the opposite of survival). In fact I would say this show similar Les Stroud's (Survivor Man)show. Maybe they could team up one day :)Give the show a shot and you might actually learn something useful.
