Watch em both . I am bored with the Histroy Channel reality shows though as they have kinda flattened out. I am finding I am more interested in Nat Geo , those inbred Hutterites are something else to watch...

eustice or whatever his name is, is a bitch. Everyone else does all his work for him, while he talks about how he has to "cowboy up"- MF doesn't even know the meaning. Dumbass used his horses to pull his shitty truck cause he spent all day prancing around the forest trying to get high off some root.
Marty needs to go home and stay home. He is a danger to himself. That guy hasn't done anything but fuck up since he has been on the show. The old guy is the only cool guy. He's pretty innocent and knows his shit. Would be what I would call a mountain man. The other 2, straight up losers. |

I enjoy swamp people, the folks in it are interdasting, also it's far removed from anything I do.
Mountain men on the other hand are a bunch of drama lamas, they make things ten times more dramatic and difficult than they need be. Just my .02

The sasquatch dude in Alaska is kinda dull. His entire existence is: sit in my cabin, go check my trap lines, 40 year old POS snowmobile breaks down, fix it, go 10 miles, snowmobile breaks down, fix it, go 10 miles, etc. seems to be all he does. All I have got to say to him is "BUY A NEW SNOWMOBILE!!!!!!" Quoted:The old guy is the only cool guy. He's pretty innocent and knows his shit. Would be what I would call a mountain man.
Agree 100%. Old rodeo cowboy knows his stuff. |

I liked the last episode when they had to get the guys truck fixed and used the horses to pull it. The "drama" was waiting for the 5 ton truck with the bad transmission to roll over the horses. It was an old toyota with a crappy homemade flatbed. And they missed the horses.

the drama is unreal.....Eustace is actually a pretty good dude, my friend spent a weekend at turtle island last month for an outdoor class and really learned alot. I am taking my two kids there in sept for an open house. Might even take a blacksmith class, he is actually realy smart. i hate the way the show portrays him.

I got to learn how to build fences, barns , mend fences, barns, clear pastures, gut hogs, hunt deer, butcher meat, can food. preserve hides . Pretty much everything you need to live in the world . I did not pay for any of it. It was just how you learned to live in the world. Amazing people have to pay to learn how to live now days.

Watched a few episodes of "Mountain Men". It seems like the old man never does anything but chase that fucking dog around. If I'm really just trying to "survive", I won't have a dog that won't 1. Come when called, or 2. Stay by my side.
I kind of like the trapper, he's actually still working for a living, survives much harsher, more dangerous conditions without all the hippie drama or useless pet drama. |

Hearing that one that talks like he's got marbles in his mouth got old quick, especially the 'Coot him! Coot him!' part when it's obvious there's no shot to take. I watched 1/2 an episode of Mountain Men but got since I outgrew the desire to live that life, like most kids, when I was thirteen I changed the channel. They need to rename that show Losers - Grown men that avoided growing up. |

One of the outdoor mags did an article about Marty recently. Bill Heavey went up there and spent a couple days with him. Got lost or stranded and probably would have croaked if Marty hadn't found him.
Dude is TOUGH! And I bet the TV show edits out a lot of the successful trapline work. Can't have the hippies getting all crybaby about a lynx or a wolf in a trap... BTW, am I the only one that thinks so, or does the narrator sounds like that "Mayhem" guy in those insurance commercials? |

Because of this, and because I went down and filmed with them, I know how much editing room magic is done behind the scenes. enough it really ruins it for me. but Jr and Willie are my Coon-ass relatives... what can I say.

I thought the Montana mountain man looked somewhat fake. First, his mountain cabin is more like a house, which has electricity, a wife and a speaker phone. I suspect he has a fat social security check arriving every month. Second, when his neighbor's water supply is under attack by the beavers, can't the neighbor just treat his drinking water with a simple RO system? That's what most rural people do.

There was a book about Eustace a few years ago called "The Last American Man". Pretty good read. He has done some amazing stuff like riding coast to coast on horseback, just to say he had done it, he circumnavigated the continental US in a horse drawn wagon, he kayaked some long miserable stretch of something and he hiked the AT with nothing but a hunting knife, loincloth and tennis shoes. If he did not kill something while he hiked, he did not eat. The author was some libtard who knew his brother and fell in love with Eustace, then wrote a book about all his conquests (of which she was probably one).
If Eustace can get people to pay him to come down to his "compound" and to do his chores, then I say good for him. He is doing what many people on this site dream of but do not have the stones or skills to actually do. The trapper guy really does make a living the hard way (read the Bill Heavey article referenced earlier. |

I'm watching this seasons swamp people. Probably won't when the season ends.
Both discovery and history have a big problem with creating "drama" before a commercial break, when it clearly turns out to be nothing out of the normal. That and recapping everything that happened up to the commercial break, right after the commercial break. That tells me that either their editing is shitty, or they're trying to create some drama for the show when none exists. And as mentioned, the narrators always sound like dumbasses trying to create drama with things like "900 pound gators" when it's a frikking 5 footer, or imply that the character is going to have great difficulty in their life if they don't tag out, or get this particular critter or that one. The characters doing those 5 second interviews explaining this or that is too dramatic too. "If I don't get this gator, I'm in big trouble". yadda yadda. That's why I stopped watching pawn stars, hardcore pawn (better video, actually, but the whole show is so chopped up it's pointless), and a couple of other shows I can't even remember. American pickers was actually pretty decent, but it got old.I'd have liked to see them actually SELL something and see if it brought in what they estimated. I also wondered how they made any profit when they drive so far. I'm kinda guessing they are being subisidized by the show? I still like deadliest catch. I don't think it has scripting or reenactments, since that's a pretty dangerous job, but the announcer does tend to be over dramatic. |
