    Absolutely Adore

    This show is amazing. Probably one of the best things I've ever watched. I love this and told my boyfriend about it. He is now hooked with me. We are extremely addicted and have lost our jobs because all we do is binge watch this series. I have forgotten to call my parents, and they have done multiple wellness checks on me because they are deeply concerned. My boyfriend and I have gotten our yak farm taken away because we cannot stop watching. We have five televisions on the yak ranch, and all of them are playing Primal Survivor on loop. We'll sit down on the toilet, and now wanting to miss a second of action, will watch Primal Survivor while we use the bathroom. Thank you, Hazen Audel.

    Primal Survivor

    Same storyline and scripted show for all six seasons and episodes. He (maybe) briefly meets with indigenous groups or just talks that he did and learned their survival skills. He walks across jungles, savannahs, plains, makes a fire, shelter, swims across rivers, fishes, discovers snakes, bugs, plants, and eats whatever might be edible. Boring until next episode then a repeat of previous episode. It's Groundhog Day movie meets Primal Survivor. Other NatGeo shows are more interesting. Plus he destroys nature by destroying bee colonies.

    Yes scripted but the idea is good

    Yes i know its scripted but the idea is good. Shows how different tribes lives, some unique techniques and equipment thats been used for years without or with small modern world touch. Also expands the vision of life in wild what to expect if you decide to take your own adventure and get some unique ideas how to survive in different situation. It does have 2 camera man and one person for audio. I like the idea of sharing some info about animals that lives in those regions. In general one of the best series so far released with the actual knowledge, not just a cheap Hollywood where most made in film studio. I bet most of those with one star review couldnt even survive an hour😀hope there will be more seasons!

    Could be better

    I do enjoy the show, however it would be so much better if there was more time spent with the actual indigenous people and how they survive in their environments, instead of getting the knowledge second hand through Hazen.

    The only reason I am not giving this a solid score..

    ..is because in the later seasons, whoever wrote this series started to completely miss the point of the show. The exciting part was watching the natives teach him, see how they live, see how they survive. I want to see more of that. As the show goes on, the whole thing just becomes centred around him, which is a dumbed down and boring version of the absolute brilliance this show once was. Whoever made that decision should be fired. This series is now dead to me.
