wvmafia I understand the "negative" comments about the "staging and scripting", but I would challenge ANYONE to find a "Reality Show" that is or was 100% true to life without staging or scripting. Some have been so fake that it was found out that there was more scripting that REALITY.What this show does show is the lifestyle that some people live and some things that people do to "survive and thrive". Is it staged? Sure, some of it is, but as far as I'm concerned is when I become a fan of a reality show, its because I like its ENTERTAINMENT VALUE and like the things I can learn. I'm a lifelong city boy, so real or staged, many of the things on Mountain Men offers me a chance to learn something I didn't know before.Happy Viewing Brian
daviddaveinternational I tried to watching an episode of this but after a minute or two, my head actually starts to hurt. Why? The utter fakeness of it! I mean, it's so obvious the beards are glued on. That alone insults me so bad, it's probably the cause of my headaches. If you don't believe it's fake, ask yourself: "Why are there directors?" A true "reality" show isn't "directed" (read: "scripted")I just watched where they cut a tree down, sectioned it and rolled an 8 foot section down the hill. One moron "slipped" and slid down the hill. It was so "fake" (read: "scripted") I had to laugh out loud! The scene was "dramatized" for more effects. The actor with the fake beard was in no danger at all and was not near the log but they made it out like he almost lost his life! Sad. Really sad. If this were "real", OSHA" would have shut the show down long ago. Just like Ice Road Truckers; OSHA wouldn't allow truck accident after accident without doing some investigating.Good show for the toddlers but if you're over 8 years old and believe this "stuff" is real, take a close peek at those beards. I won't say a word about the horribly uttered accents.
Joe Vet63 It's funny how they tell us this is about people who live off the grid but none of them actually do. Marty is off grid when on his trap line but his home is quite modern, as are the others. While the voice-over does over dramatize and exaggerate the "danger aspect" for the most part we do see an honest portrayal of how Marty, Tom and the others live. The one exception is Eustace Conway who's story is total fiction. He does not live off the land but off the people who pay good money to visit his land. He in truth raises almost none of his own food. He claims to live on less than $2,000 per year and that selling firewood is his only source of cash income but check out his website, Turtle Island Preserve. You can visit Turtle Island and get a 2 hour buggy ride for $65 or take a half-day course on how to carve a wooden spoon for $95 but to send your kid to camp is $700 for 7 days or $1400 for 14 days. He claims to live like Daniel Boone but did Ol' Dan have his own website? This phony is a great disappointment and promoting such an obvious phony makes one question the whole series. Eustace is like a televangelist begging viewers to contribute when in fact he is in no need of help but is actually rather well to do. Very disappointing indeed.
bg_7774 The mountain man of North Carolina show I know from experience is so pumped up for ratings I guess... it's laughable. Killing as was done to an small opossum that was in the hen house was totally uncalled for... I live in the mountains with wildlife not killing them. First secure the hen house so nothing can get in.. it's simple and easy. Preventative can be done by using common sense...lazy and being uneducated bring killing for no good reason. Second an opossum does not go after chickens, only the eggs so the dead animals were killed by something else. This is a show pumped up with drama but not the way life is lived by the ones who love nature and wildlife. What is done for reality shows now a days is just stupid.. all for the drama.
