TV Worth Watching
I'm not a big TV fan myself, as I expect many of the readers of this blog. But last year I did stumble on a show I really liked, called "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Alaska_Experiment">The Alaska Experiment</a>". The show took a couple small groups (2-4 people) of "regular people", and dropped them in backcountry Alaska, to survive into the winter. Now, not only was this TV, but it was reality-tv, which by nature I detest. And yet it drew me in like no other. Why? Because it showed just how little people knew, and just how difficult it was to survive, even with the large amount of help these people received. They had minimal food supplies given, they had shelter, and constant checkups to make sure they weren't in real harm. And yet it was still *very* difficult. Sure, at many points I would scream at people for what I saw as dumb decisions, but I have a better camping background than they. I was also sitting in my nice chair at home, instead of in the middle of Winter in Alaska.
