The "American Guardian" show is doing something similar as well. I like these shows as well. Better than reality TV, but what isnt?

I recorded "Best Defense: Survival" to disk and have the rest of the programs programmed in so that I don't miss any.

I plan to make extra disks to send to my daughter and a friend who don't have Outdoor Channel.

I was hoping that there would be the full episodes on the site, but there aren't. It would be nice if those who don't have cable could watch it on line.

No doubt they will do it.

Television and Survival is an oxymoron.

At least once a week I have students who are frustrated with themselves and processes during field craft.
The usual statement goes, "It doesn't take this long on TV!"

I completely agree with study and observation, but knowledge is useless without training and application to promote muscle memory.

It is easy to watch someone pressure-flake obsidian into points, but can you do it yourself?

It is easy to understand the principles of marksmanship, but can you consitently hit targets at 300m?

As Nike Inc. said many years ago, "Just Do It!"

"Stop the feed; kill the TV!

OUCH! let me rephrase that, brilliant in the context of the the "survival" topics actually being discussed. when have you seen a t.v. show discuss defense with a firearm after a disaster? never.

There is a new series coming up called "the Day After" or something like that - about civilization after the end of the world - and the remaining people surviving a world changing event.

Does anyone find it strangely/interesting that these types of shows are doing so well? So how is it that the Government remains silent about what we all believe is coming our way,(one or more of any number of scenarios), and we let them get away with it?

It is another "reality tv" type program. Somewhat scripted, but no real threats and responses.

"Best Defense - Survival" isn't about step by step "how to". It's about warning the people of the different types of threats we may face and gives SOME suggestions about how to get started on preps. What to watch for, etc.

BD-S is about AWARENESS. (In other words: "Get it in gear folks, you may have to go it alone" "Don't depend on someone else to take care of you")
Not a "This is how you do it".

I watch TV for purely entertainment lol. I would fall back on my training for real world situations

That was a smart boy!

As I wrote before, I believe in education plus action.

My guess is, he now has a substantial wealth of wisdom, having executed that education.

Hopefully the trail guide/parent was reprimanded for lack of oversight.

The best thing about any of these tv shows is they make you think. I know, tv and thinking? Any show that interviews the real deal people about shooting(Clint Smith), leagalities(Massad Ayoob), etc.,can't be bad. This new show Best Defense, Survival, interviews real first responders to start with,about what has happened, and what could happen in a disaster.

 

[flagtag]

We the People need to all the education we can get - from every source possible. This is one of those cases where there is never enough.

I think he did well for a 9 year old, but tearing up your rain jacket seems stupid to me. I can leave plenty of "signs" of my presence without loosing valuable clothing that could be the difference between hypothermia and just being miserable.

 

[csaws]

I would typically agree that ditching clothing is not smart but for a 9 year old lost in the woods he was doing what he thought was right. If he had as much life experience as an adult he may have made a different choice, however most adults don't take rain jackets anywhere they go.

I'd love to get my hands on a few episodes on a DVD, anyone that has access to it, I'll buy!
