The show itself has some merit. The two stars Cody and Dave do know what they are doing, but honestly the average person would forget just about everything these two advise in a real life situation. Cody is quite eccentric, but one can tell he is passionate about nature and survival. He can recognize plants and bugs that would go over most people's heads. He does curse quite a bit though. Overall, Cody does prove to be more interesting than Dave when it comes to personality. Dave on the otherhand is the go-to guy for hunting, setting traps, and the sort. Some of the things he does obviously took years to learn, like making elaborate traps and weaving his own snow shoes. Dave often curses and loves to use the phrase: That's bad a**. Overall, the show is entertaining but more because of the characters antics and the drama between them.
