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".
