Boonies

Anyone watch that show The Boonies.  Wow what a crew  living in caves.  Not my cup of tea. ;D   Maybe they needed a new show to replace the "Legend of Mick Dodge"

Mick Dodge is still on. I was too lazy to change the channel last weekend. His cave appears to be in solid Chert! Lucky guy.

bear claw is the best one on that show 

I don't get why the people would live underground or in the tree houses like the other people.

The tree house people seem like criminals to me, and not to be a jerk (Even though I am) but the wife of the tree house couple doesn't seem like she is the right size to be living off the land.

The story behind these squatters is generally much less exciting than what is portrayed.

For sure, Working all the time to stay alive isn't very glamorous.

I think that most of these shows these people sare only there for short periods of time, there is no way these people would live in an open pallet shack or tent during the coldest months.  :laugh:
My faves are Mountain Men and Moonshiners.  They are a hoot.  :)

The bearclaw guy from boonies and the old dude in the swamps on mountain men are the only reason I've ever watched those shows. I usually try sticking with informative ones.

Seen the show, thought it was alright.  Unfortunately, bills, kids, work and life seem to be my personal survival story lately

And that's how much I watch those shows haha. Yeah, Colbert. That guy left a mansion and millions to live the rough life. Forgot about Tom. He made a beautiful selfbow in a day and a night or something ridiculous.

I believe that was a vine maple bow, and I think they swapped it out for a seasoned stave at some point
