I liked the overall premise of the show and the characters, but one has to remember it's scripted and produced for an audience, so you have all the nonsense that goes with it, which I have to believe is why they portray some real foolishness at times. I guess you can't get a television show produced without this element of nonsense, they must think the audience is uniformed, gullible or naive about the subject matter. The idea that they will go and help out a homesteader by building it better or a complete rebuild is great, because each one is different, and you could possibly learn something by watching. However, the added drama, scripted situations and things similar incorporated to potentially "dazzle" the audience, fills the show with too much fluff.
Mountain Men - Tom, how many enjoy watching what he does ? So their are parts of it which are really interesting to watch and learn, but its outnumbered by drama and other like things written in that one may not care about. So, it all depends on how much of this you have to get through to get to the parts you really want to see.
I don't turn the set on all that much lately, but have seen this show quite a bit. One scene where the son, (son daughter and father with stetson hat that help these people), tosses a log into the homesteaders pick up truck and sends it right through the back window. Any fool who loads their truck with firewood knows better, uses a plywood headboard or something similar, or just uses lots of care when loading. That was just plain stupid, but you know it was written in for "effect" or something.

Today's Featured Article - A Belt Pulley? Really Doing Something? - by Chris Pratt. Belt Pulleys! Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
