But i find when they kill the animals esp the homesteaders amelia and Joe ? she has literally Pet domestic Bunnies .. now im pretty sure in the usa you arent allowed to breed to Kill domestic ones for food ONLY wild ones .. I know in some parts of the world ppl can get fined and charged for breeding domestic ones for meat .. but My main thing is they were pretty graphic about how they were gonna kill the animals .. they could have just had the shot of them taking the animal and saying we are gonna have it for meat and then have another shot of them later when its dead and skinned .. ppl dont need to see ya kill it and Im an adult and that part Upset me almost deleted the show :( and yes grown up on farms and seen where meat comes from but come on ppl not something that looks like ya pet ......I do enjoy the other ppl on the show though but they my least fav now

I enjoy this show very much and hope that Nat Geo will bring in a 4 year of the series and many more. It's very enjoyable to see people who have the guts and the brains to detach from the "regular life" and live a life more free of the modern stresses. I can't do it myself but if I were 20 or 30 again I would definitely give it a go.

If any of these people have lived more than six months of their lives in a rural environment I'd be shocked. They appear to be totally incompetent with regards to woodlands living. Really, surviving long term in the wild by drinking water through a hollow reed? Absurd!They appear to know little or nothing about true rural/mountain lifestyles. I realize we've become urbanized, but as a kid in the mid-1950s I can assure you any Boy Scout over age 12 knew more about rural lifestyles and rustic living than these self-styled survivalists. Anyone who subscribed to Mother Earth News in the 1960s would know more after reading just one year's issues. Ditto for anyone who ever read Ellsworth Jaeger's classic tome on wilderness survival.

Its a good show if you live shows like Doomsday Preppers and ,The Legend of Mick Dodge than most likely you'll like this one! I think there are a lot skills we as humans have forgotten that people need to re-learn and use what you have. some of these people are doing what they love and are not concerned with mainstream living I think that's I've seen a lot of survival shows and this one has to be at the top real people living a real dream not just the typical so called American Dream but what they really love doing. gotta give people that have the guts to do it some serious props. I hope everyone watching enjoys this as much as I do its a good watch!
