Well I thought you came across well enough.
If anyone’s keen to see the episode, it’s repeated on Maori TV tonight at 10.30, and it’s also available online at http://www.maoritelevision.com/tv/shows/survive-aotearoa/S01E003/survive-aotearoa-series-1-episode-3

> The ‘survivors” attempts at getting lost 30 mins from Otaki Forks (often visible in the background,
> as was the track occasionally) was less convincing…Heh. I can’t say that bothers me so much, as they were never really trying to hide that they were mocking up a scenario. Hopefully nobody believed that Barrie had actually snapped his ankle from the way they play-acted it.
First Crossings has been much worse in that respect, with Kevin and Jamie almost never acknowledging that they’re not in a genuine situation.I wasn’t impressed by the blatant disregard for the law by chopping living & growing trees. DoC would probably turn a blind eye for someone needing to survive, but if they were going to do it on-screen (and they shouldn’t have needed to), they really should be making it clear that it’s illegal.
They also tend to skip over the basic SAR advice about thing like staying where you are and waiting for rescue. Granted the show’s not really about that so much as ‘what you could do if simply waiting for rescue isn’t an option’, but it’s hardly unrelated. They’re completely passing it over.
Other than that I’m finding much of the material quite interesting.
