Post by: Zbearclaw on September 04, 2010, 12:53:00 AM: Yep, was funny for sure. When he said compound I couldn't help but wonder what the letoff was!

Good stuff.

Post by: TxAg on September 04, 2010, 02:19:00 PM: I watched 5 mins of the very first episode and said Never Again. They're ridiculous.

Post by: Hookeye on September 04, 2010, 02:23:00 PM: "Compound"......as in PROBLEM.

Trying to hunt, with a woman along, expecting her to be quiet (let alone on a stalk).

Think if his bow had no wheels he was giving a clue through whatever censors are on the show ;)

Post by: Hookeye on September 04, 2010, 02:24:00 PM: Will add- never saw the show, could be way off as for relevance in prev post. Not gonna watch it.

I HATE reality TV and related.

Hookeye,

Post by: always89s boy on September 04, 2010, 07:30:00 PM: When was this one on? I thought ive seen most of them so i was just wondering if i didnt catch it. I also like that Dual Survival show that comes on right ofter man woman wild. There was one were Dave (one of the two guys) was lucky enough to have a bow (a nice long bow by the way but im not sure what kind it was a 3 piece take down) and knapped a head out of a bottle cap and made feathers out of duct tape and killed a turkey with it.
Title: Re: man woman wild (trad bow hunt)
Post by: Buckeye Trad Hunter on September 04, 2010, 07:51:00 PM: Dave had a Hornes Flint Quest three piece take down longbow on that episode. Actually, I just saw Dave today.

As far as the man woman wild show, sometimes I can watch it and sometimes I can't. Sometimes when things like that happen on a show it ruins it for me forever and I can't watch it after that. Calling a stickbow a compound would have definatly ruined it for me.
Title: Re: man woman wild (trad bow hunt)
Post by: JDeanP on September 04, 2010, 08:04:00 PM: I actually saw Dave on his YouTube videos a looong time ago. When I watched Dual Survival I knew he was familiar but couldn't place it. When I finally figured it out I got a bit of a laugh (at the irony).
Title: Re: man woman wild (trad bow hunt)
Post by: NC BowBender on September 04, 2010, 08:05:00 PM: He used 2 different pieces of green wood, overlapped them at the riser for more strength, and then tied them together with parachute cord. He said he hoped he got 3 or 4 shots out of it

I took his comment as a jest, kinda downplaying his self made bow. Either that, or he meant it literally as a compound, as the definition of a compound is "a whole formed by a union of two or more elements or parts."
Title: Re: man woman wild (trad bow hunt)
Post by: PAPA BEAR on September 05, 2010, 02:05:00 AM: he called it some type of compound and it had nothing to do with her....it reminded me of two little kids making bows and arrows and shootin suction cup points.this show is not supposed to be a comedy show is it?

Yea...im gonna keep that post away from my girlfriend..... She pretty hardcore with a bow ...as well as a bench rest long gun out to the 800yard line.... :archer2: ....He wouldnt even hear the shot....
Title: Re: man woman wild (trad bow hunt)
Post by: dave19113 on September 05, 2010, 09:10:00 AM: The show is really supposed to show concepts... that was one of the not so good ones.... In Special Operations your taught to think outside the box and work whatever angle keeps you alive..... The girl is really brought in to open the veiwing market.....

I know this is a bad example...and I will catch crap, but GETTIN CLOSE WITH LEE AND TIFFANY..... it shows a pretty girly girl hunts and gets out there. Im sure many females who never thought of hunting or the outdoors might give it another shot. After all that is what the sport is all about, opening non hunters eyes to the joys we all love.

And BTW that show def caught ppls attention... arn't we all talking about it on here... arnt we.....

Post by: Sheepshooter on September 05, 2010, 10:56:00 AM: Those who haven't seen it, you can see it on youtube as well as the Dual Survival show which I think is quite good actually.
Title: Re: man woman wild (trad bow hunt)
Post by: Gun on September 05, 2010, 11:04:00 AM: Killdeer, too funny!!
Title: Re: man woman wild (trad bow hunt)
Post by: JEJ on September 06, 2010, 01:23:00 AM: Dave19113, I think you make some good points.

I've been watching the survival shows lately, and have tried to just lower my expectations, realize these are TV shows, and keep an open mind about learning something. Of course they are edited to build suspense, drama, etc. to try to hook you for an hour. Come on, it would be a tall order for even a Comanche on horseback to run down and arrow a turkey, what chance does a dude running through sage brush really have? But a few minutes later he used his bow and arrow on a cottontail at 10 feet, and it looked like he got a piece of it too, but the rabbit ran off a ways with his arrow and got away. I realize these shows are staged and edited, but I think I have learned something I didn't know each time I watched one. Fire starting, ideas about shelter, did you know you can boil water in a plastic bottle over a fire and the bottle doesn't melt. I didn't. Yep, parts of these shows are good for a laugh sometimes, but if you can watch one and not learn some survival skill about primitive living, health safety, woodcraft, etc., my hat is off to you. Plus they are filmed most of the time in parts of the world where I sure would like to be with my longbow and lots of arrows, and seeing that country on a survival level is kind of cool.

Oh, and Killdeer, I believe you to be quiet and deadly ... and funny!

Post by: chrisg on September 06, 2010, 03:26:00 AM: Those shows are so dependant on who pays the piper.There are only three that are worth much that we get here in SA. Bear Grylls, Les Stroud and Ray Mears. All of them are honest and clear about their intention. Bear has caught flak for staging stuff but if you listen to what he says and read the warning posted before the show he is doing stuff to show how HIGHLY SKILLED SPEC OPS GUYS CAN DO IT. Then he goes on to talk of the principles behind those techniques and how ordinary folk can use them. Ray Mears and Les Stroud do the same from slightly different angles. They are extremely capable and humble people, none of them does it with the macho chest beating c*** one gets on the 'reality' shows.Which is why I watch them. There are a great many men AND WOMEN on this site and others whose skill and bushcraft far exceeds that shown on the trash tv reality shows. Skills that were taught and are still taught by Scouting and other groups. Unfortunately so much of the ra ra TV is about sensation, backstabbing and shock/fluff garbage that I prefer to go for a walk..It all cheapens the very real skill and physical effort that the true experts have put in to create the territory that later producers came to exploit. Enough of a rave for today!

Post by: Osagetree on September 06, 2010, 08:04:00 AM: Maybe he meant composite but said compound. I think a long stick would have produced more fish than his bow, but the bow made for good drama on TV.

The thing I don't like about some of the survival shows is if I were in a situation; I would not try some of the risky stuff they advise. If you're trying to survive you shouldn't put your life at risk,,, should you?

And I like taking my wife bow hunting as she is great company and hunts as well as I. As far as Ms. Hawk,,, I'd take her along too,,, anytime! ;)

Hookeye: be afraid. Be very, very afraid. We can be silent. And deadly. Reference Killdeer, above. :nono:

PS I don't watch survival shows where the people call each other "baby".

Just like the bow made for good drama on tv so does some of the risky stuff. Most times the guys will come right out and say that they do not advise anyone to try some of the riskier things they do. Sometimes however, there is a risk/reward factor you have to account for. There may be a situation where your only chance of surviving is to do something that puts your life at risk.
Title: Re: man woman wild (trad bow hunt)
Post by: Groundpounder on September 06, 2010, 01:51:00 PM: Yeah they are good shows all of them. but youll never know how its really gonna go down unless your in the situation. les stroud is completely alone an does all his own camera work. but if you were really in a survival situation. who has time to film but on the flip side it would really help pass the time. Strouds "life line" is usually camped about a mile away but if something bad happened a mile is pretty damn far especially in some of that thick jungle .

Title: Re: man woman wild (trad bow hunt)
Post by: GingivitisKahn on September 09, 2010, 08:19:00 PM: Whatever. The show is there for entertainment (as opposed to hard core survival education) and it accomplishes its objective. That one, Dual Survival, Man vs. Wild, Survivorman - they are all about entertainment and all, to one extent or another, provide entertainment.

One interesting thing about Man, Woman, Wild is that it attracts spouses and daughters (in my case and I've heard others say the same) that might never watch anything similar.

Sometimes it's just as useful to see things that fail as it is to see things that succeed. Their aborted attempt to hunt turkeys is still instructive though it nets them no birds.

I'd rather watch this or any of the other outdoors skills shows than just about anything on network TV.
