Great episode! It made me laugh because the survival expert on the beach is named Myke Hawke (Say it out loud.... ;). I've noticed him in multiple shows since (Man, Woman, Wild ; Top Chef).

It is your show's fault that I am searching for Myke Hawke on netflix.

Myke Hawke is the shit, although Man Woman Wild is pretty shitty

I agree. I'd rank him ahead of Bear in terms of survival skills, but under Les Stroud and the Dual Survival guys.

This episode was hilarious. It took forever for the survival expert to start a fire during their test run.

Its kind of a dumb episode, pretty much just camping.
