Best movie of this year hands down!
Matialth
Good concept, poorly executed.
Billy Ollie
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

What can I say? A fun concept. The obstacles are many for the stars of this survival show. You see the best in human nature shine through. I suggest you enjoy the first five or so episodes for what they are and let your mind play around with the opportunities there can be to make something interesting. An austere, gripping series about surviving against the odds. The real centerpiece of the film is its stars. This is a story about a place most people might not be able to conceive as all the featured stars struggle. It's not quite worth 8 out of 10, so I give it a solid 7 out of 10 and urge you to check it out if you can find it.

A few things ruined this show for me. First, the amount of repeated footage after every commercial. They were obviously try to extend a little bit of footage into the time slot, but I'd rather just see fewer episodes. Then there's the generated drama: -it's dangerous to cross a river in the middle of winter... but it's fine in the spring? -we're almost out of wood for the stove, crisis!, but in a day we can gather 2 weeks worth. -bears are dangerous, so let's crawl headfirst into a supposed den without a gun. Also, nice sound effects.This would have been a very interesting documentary, but as a TV show it wasn't very good.

This is not "Survivorman" or "Man vs Wild". This show depicts the all too real life of everyday survival in Tanana, Alaska. As so many of us take for granted the luxuries we are accustom to such as local supermarkets with a supply of never ending food, we see the struggle of the occupants of Tanana to maintain enough food to last the winter by gathering and hunting it themselves. And the obstacles are many. Bears, wolves, and bad weather are just the tip of the iceberg. Broken equipment, changes in animal migration, and even unseasonably warm weather can play havoc on any attempts to gather enough food. Many have lost their lives due to the unpredictable mood of the Alaskan environment as they attempt to provide for their families.Remarkably, you see the best in human nature. The residents truly care for the well being of their neighbors and consider all as extended families. With no hesitation, they band together to overcome any crisis, this is evident when a local is killed and the entire town rallies together to mourn his passing in a traditional funeral and feast.Survival shows have become very popular lately, but nothing can compare to "Yukan Men" if you want to see people survive as a way of every day life. And yet, they would not want to live their lives any other way.

The title says it all. I have lived a majority of my life in Alaska, in a way more remote location than Tanana. Can't believe they tote this town as one of the most remote villages in the world. LOL! The "stars" and producers of this joke of a show should be laughed out of the show biz. For those that are not familiar with Alaska, take everything on the show with a couple of pounds of salt. The father/son out to hunt a dangerous black bear...seriously? For one, you live in bear country. If the bear is entering your house or on your porch, fine shoot it. But to say a bear on the far side of the community trash dump is 'dangerous', especially one that couldn't give a rats bum that you were there, is ridiculous. Where I lived, on the west side of the Alaska range, 1000lbs grizzlies would come through my yard nearly every day. You live in bear country, you should know how to deal with bears. You are in their country!
