Oye, I had high hopes for this series, but it never hit the mark. Obviously, all three men are talented, but the producers were obviously stretching for material on Eustace and the Montana man. The whole blood hungry predator theme was a bit much IMO.
I could see them making a show around Marty..that guy was legitimately a sourdough. The places he goes with that little plane is amazing.

he really is something else...that ole Marty.He knows about engines and the in 's and outs about everything.pretty talented fellow.
i think Eustace needs his own show telling us all how to do all the things he teaches at turtle island but then he gives away important info from his camps and what he teaches them.

Did anyone watch the show last night about the tugboats on the Great Lakes?
I found it to be very interesting! We have the benefit of having our cabin up by Lake Superior so we are at the lake often. Once you see those huge ships come in or out of port you can't help but to be amazed by them!! Some of them are over 1000 feet long and they are so tall too. It is cool to see the crewman on board and to hear what they are coming into port for-such a variety of things and different countries too. Iron ore, grain,coal, taconite and cement are common and even wind turbine blades made in Denmark that will end up on a wind mill farm in North Dakota.
There are so many sunkin ships and it is so true that the weather can turn bad on a dime! It is truly amazing how bad and nasty it can be on shore, I can only imagine how scary it would be out in the open waters....and COLD...frigid cold....frozen to your bones cold because the wind is so powerful it blows right through you!! The snow is also completely blinding out there.
I hope this show stays interesting-I was cringing many times watching the deckhands with those big ropes-I kept thinking someones hand was going to get crunched and when they jump from tug to barge-I would hate to be that person...both boats swaying in the waves and so much space between them...well I would be in the water crushed between two steel boats!!!!
Anyways...if you get the chance to watch, I think you will find it worth your time

I haven't posted here before, but I love the Mountain Men show. I read online that Eustace has a judgement against him for an accident years ago. A little girl was injured when getting to his camp. He wasn't there when it happened, but he was held accountable and was sued by the girl's parents. They are now trying to collect on the judgement by forcing a sale of his land. So there is no tax lien. It's not something that was his fault. I believe he's a really good guy and is at the mercy of the producers of the show as far as how he is portrayed.
I have to say something about the show where he canned the meat. Please don't do it the way he did. It's not safe to can meat in a water bath. You must use a pressure canner to be safe. Meat is a low acid food and you are risking the life of you and your family if you don't use a pressure canner. People used to can meat that way, but it was very dangerous. You could poison yourself!!

Quoting: Anonymous I can't believe anyone hasn't brought up the shoddy workmanship in Eustace's storage shed, when they were trying to jack it up I was cringing, waiting for it to topple down on him and his "experienced" friend.
i never saw a building like that storage shed ever before.i never knew they built them like that ever!sure crazy.

Marty seems to be for real. Tom, has electricity and phone, not too rough. Eustice is for real, but not as much as Marty in AK. I like them all.

Feel bad for Eustace getting sued but nowadays, it's screw your neighbor
And what's in it for me?
There are getting to be too many shows on t.v.
My faves:
Yukon Men
Duck Dynasty
Gold Rush except Todd Hoffman who is a total tool.
Deadliest Catch but liked it more when Phil Harris was on it.

Not to burst anyones bubble, but Marty is my neighbor. He is getting 80 grand an episode. Not for nothing, but anyone that knows Marty knows he doesn't break down at -40° nor does he go unhealed. It's called entertainment folks. Nobody would watch the show if it wasn't full of drama.
I believe Marty did walk ten miles and get a new motor and install it, he is one tough guy. I just have a hard time buying the circumstances. For $80,000 I would do it.

Tell Marty, go get em. I enjoy the show and really like Marty the best. He does appear rugged and knows the ways of survival. Tell him, he has a fan in Washington.

You have no clue about geography, do you?
Most of Yukon Men is centered around the village of Tanana, AK. Tanana is part of the Yukon–Koyukuk Census Area which covers 147,843 square miles through most of the middle of Alaska. It is very much a part of the Yukon, geographically, as Whitehorse is in the heart of the Yukon Provenience in Canada.

Alaska the last frontier seems by far the most genuine and least staged. Yukon is good. But I find myself angered a bit, the subsistence lifestyle seems wasteful in the way portrayed. They complain about no meat, no fish...while salmon are rotting in a trench. I have no problem with some trapping, but when you trap the hell out of an area why act shocked when the animal sightings decline.

I think I am missing the point. Tanana is in AK. Whitehorse is in the Yukon. The name of the census area is irrelevant the location is in Alaska,unless we are getting into the First Nations recognize no international borders. Of which I have no interest in discussing.

To further my point here is the official stance of the Yukon Government
for anyone looking for a read..
2. The Yukon government has asked the Discovery Chanel to change the name of one of its shows called Yukon Men. Environment minister Currie Dixon has written a letter to the show's producers saying some of the depictions of trapping on the show may be damaging Yukon's reputation on trapping and tourism." Dixon and Vuntut Gwitchin MLA Darius Elias take exception with what they claim as the unethical nature of trapping animals and using chinook salmon to feed dogs. Dixon says the response from the show was less than satisfactory. "I of course will pursue this matter further if possible to determine what more we can do to ensure that what happens and what is portrayed on that television show aren't mistaken for what is reality in Yukon. Of course their claim is that it is on the Yukon River in Alaska so they are acceptable for them to refer to it as Yukon men." Dixon says he will press the producers again to change the show's name.
CKRW 8:00 A.M. NEWS FRIDAY, APRIL 26, 2013
1. One Yukon MLA says the Discovery Chanel show Yukon Men should change its title. Vuntut Gwich'in's Darius Elias says even though the show was set in Alaska it doesn't properly portray Yukon trappers. Elias says Yukon trappers don't club lynx to death while in a trap, feed chinook salmon to dog teams or shoot wolverines when caught in a leghold trap. Economic Development minister Currie Dixon told the legislature during Question Period yesterday the situation is unfortunate and he's already written a letter to the show's producers. "I that letter I noted that hunting and trapping in the Yukon are regulated activities and both are important aspects of Yukon's unique quality of life, history and culture and traditional economy. As I noted in the letter, which members are free to read, of course the practices on that television show have the potential to damage our tourism industry and our trapping industry in the territory." The show uses the word Yukon in its title as it's set in a small community near the Yukon River in Alaska.

Sounds like sour grapes to me. If they don't shoot wolverines caught in a leg hold trap, how would they get them out? I doubt they would walk up and pet the thing. I'm calling B.S. on that one. Same with a lynx you aren't gonna get anywhere near them while they are still alive. They will kill a man and do it quickly in a trapped situation.
