Hacking the Wild Audience Reviews

Diagonaldi Very well executed
AboveDeepBuggy Some things I liked some I did not.
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
natator-235-30103 I'm a big fan of survival shows, but this one is absolutely ridiculous, bordering on the dangerous (for poor information).First episode he has a few of the usual things you might have on you hiking etc ... but also just happens to have an electric drill, some LED's, a laptop (ok, you might), a soldering iron, an electronic compass module ... seriously??? "Survival tips" include not only making a compass from the module you have (as you're far more likely to have that on you than, say, an actual compass, but you'll learn how to solder the LED's to make it easier to see the rf detector (you've also made) direction indicators.OK, maybe it was just a bad first episode, so I gave it a second go.Episode two you'll see how to make, using the motor/servo unit and laser pointer one always has, so that you can make something that can release your rope by pointing the laser pointer at the photo receptor you also had lying around.At that point I gave up.You'll learn more about surviving in the wilderness from the average Simpsons episode.
THE_BubbaHoTep Not a bad show, sure the host may have some quirks that viewers don't like, and the contraptions he builds may be unconventional, but that's what is good about the show. I like seeing him build his gear..it may not be the BEST survival show, but who needs another hum-drum survival show, at least what he builds is interesting and may give viewers ideas of their own..of what 'can' be built from common items.
thedayguy I agree with each comment made here. The show is really not to be taken seriously because like one comment here made it seems he has just the right Gadget to complete his journey to survive. Two of his shows if he did not have a tracking GPS on him he would be doomed. Also unlike Survivorman who had a camera that he would set up and properly use for the show when he has completed his task. This show seems the cameras are place everywhere from different angles.So are there cameramenThere?
imericw He out Bear Grills, Bear Grill. From the lighter you can clearly see in the Alaskan Glacier episode to the knife cut fish traps in the island one. Such a disappointment. This guy is so full of it. Plus the bad choices he makes over and over again. It's like watching a train wreak and the lies. Most of it post filmed voice-over. He should be ashamed and people trying to repeat what he's doing to survive in the wild have a slim to none chance to live. Not to mention he always has a 'special thing' in his backpack important to the area (glow powder, solar panel ...etc)
