Was just watching some of that. Seems theres so much danger lurking out there, that I'm afraid to go outside now.  Geez, you could have a griz or wolf put the sneak on you, get seriously injured by a hi-lift jack,or have to spend the night out eating a muskrat.

Also I saw an episodes a couple weeks ago where this guy's life, livelihood, and entire year's meat supply depended on him getting a mule deer...or else him and his $1000 Browning 78 would be destitute....
Or the one they call Tom, relying on a few crafts made from dead animal parts to stay alive....in his $250K 'cabin'....

Well at least they show folks killing and eating stuff...a hitherto unknown concept to most city folks.

Might want to read the Helena paper's story on "Tom" before mentioning any $250K cabin.
I've met some people up there and it ain't Kalispell.

Yeah, I know about the Helena paper, but apparently the guy moved to Montana 25+ years ago, and he and his wife built their home themselves, very cheaply. They never have made as much as $20,000 a year. Not the typical folks who've moved in more recently, with income from elsewhere.

Apparently he's gotten so many orders for moccasins and hand-made bows that he can't keep up with them anymore!

I love where the guy in Alaska either needs to shoot a caribou or go hungry for the winter. So he puts $1000 worth of fuel into his $100,000 airplane to go get 75lbs. of meat! Or the guy in Montana who's truck breaks down in below zero weather and he's afraid of getting attacked by a grizzly. I may not be the most experienced when it comes to grizzly's but if it's below zero aren't they hibernating?

Andthe guy from Montana is making more than $20,000 per year now just from the money the show is paying him.

I remember one episode where Marty and his wife were hunting and I think his wife was using a ruger 77 stainless synthetic. I couldnt make out that rifle that Marty was using.. Im thinking a mark x or something.
Saw rich with a ruger number one I think. Eustace probably uses whatever is/was free.
Marty is my favorite character...and yes this show is great fun for city folks to watch... wehter planned/scripted or not I really dont care...I just love it.
