    Default How about Man, Woman, Wild.


    Watched this for the first time tonight and the wife was freakin' funny. I have to watch it with my wife because that is so how she would act. Thought it was a pretty good show and learned some good stuff, even if it was a bit dramatic.

    I liked this show. The Man in this show designed the perfect survival knife which is manufactured by TOPS Knives and sells for over $200. It is funny that the one episode I saw he was not using his own perfect survival knife. Just goes to show you how much hype there is in the survival industry. Can't blame a guy for trying to make a buck though.

    At over two hundred dollars mighta been too expensive a knife to use. Be scared to nick the blade. Not a bad show though. He goes a little too heavy on the Army lingo for me though hooch,chow etc. I was in the army 8 years and I think I heard more Army lingo on his show than when i was actually in the Army.

    Mike Hawk is his name. He's former Special Forces.

    Not only does he have a knife sold by Tops, he has a book on survival as well.

    National Geographic uses him alot as a consultant for some of thier shows. "Out of Alaska" is just one of them. You get a brief look at him in one episode hopping out of a chopper.

    His wife: very hot! British news reporter.

    I watched the show on netflix. Its worth the time, and you will learn a few things.

    I like this show, as he teaches her survival in different environments, his knowledge gets passed to the viewers as well. There is some drama, mostly because she's somewhat sqeamish, but one episode was real enough. They were in the desert somewhere and the medical team had to step in as she was on the verge of heat stroke. If it had been an actual survival situation, she'd probably be dead. Just goes to show that even out in the wild with a Spec Forces survival instructor doesn't mean your survival is guaranteed.

    Oh yeah informative show the lingo just gets alittle old to me personally. Saw one episode he had the guy from Bizarre foods on the beach stranded and he watched him from afar. The guy from Bizarre foods was in hog heaven. Eating all kinda stuff he would find. Had a good knowledge of it from his show and from being a chef.

    No, it's a good show...He's down to earth and a wealth of knowledge...I think his name is Mykel Hawke...He is the real deal...I like his honestly...He tapped out in one of his episodes and called in the emergency crew...but, he has done some over the top stuff, like pretending that he fell in a huge hole and be holding on to a limb to keep from falling in....Then yell for his wife to come save him for minutes....I guess he thinks we buy that there is no cameraman standing 5 feet away that would not let him fall to his death or make him call his wife for minutes....Secondly, in a early episode he needed to take off his shirt and he had two gaint nipple rings in...It was pure nasty....But, overall it's a good show...

    I think the show is pretty good, Myke Hawke is a wealth of knowledge, though as others have said the army lingo gets old fast. The wife I could do without, I'd prefer less drama and more information. But hey I'll take what I can get, it seems that over the last couple of years TV shows about survival and prepping have come to the mainstream audience finally. I don't know whether this is a good thing as it seems a lot of these shows portray preppers as on the fringe of society. Not like the every day folks who visit this site regularly, hopefully that will change and we'll be shown for what we really are, normal every day people making it through life like everyone else.
