Used to be a great show until 2016

Up until the 2016 season I watched every episode. Often multiple times. Along with anything Les Stroud this has been a great source of information. Yea, sometimes there were kind of obvious setups over the years but those were typically done with a teaching purpose. Overall it didn't involve stupid stunts for no reason that would, in reality get you killed like Bear Grylls.

This season is an entirely different beast for this show. Grady is fine and believable. Bill is absolutely terrible and basically unwatchable. You would never see any of the prior Dual Survival guys or Les Stroud cry because they couldn't start a fire nor would you see them obviously hamming it up for the camera. Even Bear Grylls wouldn't cry if he couldn't start a fire. He would just come back and shoot it again the next day with some dry stuff from the hotel.

score 1/10
