The Boonies

Am curious to know who owns all the properties comprising the places these folks have set up as home? Do they own it?

This is an entertaining show. But literally the only reason I'm leaving this review is to ask/exclaim: Why do these people seem to think they own the land that they occupy?! No one is "trespassing" due to the fact that YOU DO NOT OWN THIS LAND. Merely using and occupying an area does not make it yours. That's one of the differences in living off of the grid and participating in the rat race. If you want to be able to keep "trespassers" away, you'll need to purchase that land buddy. That is all.

I see a lot of reviews here saying this is boring and "lame" television. however, joe's story is unlike any other. i've never heard of anyone in the modern day living in a cave, of all things. and it's really fascinating how he lives. it's worth the watch for him alone, as well as bear claw. he's living an authentic 1800s pioneer lifestyle, and i most definitely think it's true. for a look into off the grid living and survival, this is the series to watch. it's short, i really want there to be another season- whether it revisits the previous boonie dwellers, or all new ones!

Disregard all the armchair survival experts who are slamming this program. It never claimed to be an educational program on how to survive in the wilderness.

Like almost every other program on TV, it's entertainment, and it does a dang good job of it. Watch it, if this is your kind of thing, you'll enjoy getting to know the interesting characters who you'd expect to be living in The Boonies.

Having just discovered this program, I am truly enjoying a window into those featured persons lives! I get the impression that they are truly down to earth and are genuinely good people! I'd love to hang out with any one of them! Especially, because they don't kill anything as a trophy, they consume their hunted animals. Can only respect that! It's an awesome show! I only dream of living off the land!
