Aeneas21 If you enjoy a romanticized view of what it's like to like in a temperate rainforest with an interspersed, yet connected, underground of mountain dwellers then you'll love The Legend of Mick Dodge. This show makes you want to live in the Hoh and have merry adventures amongst the ancient forest canopy and majestic Hoh river.While this show shouldn't be looked at as a how-to guide for living off the land using primitive skills, it is definitely an entertaining view into a life that symbolizes freedom, adventure, and kinship. In this day and age when we're hyperconnected through digital media and decides, it's refreshing to watch a show that's the antithesis of that.
Jessica Varga There's something magical about The Legend of Mick Dodge. Through Mick's yearly rituals and day-to-day activities with his forest dwelling friends, he reawakens the viewer to the majesty of nature, and the connection that we've lost. He makes you want to run outdoors barefoot, and sleep under the sky, and forage for stone soup. There are plenty of other shows about survivalists. Mick Dodge is not a survivalist - he simply loves nature, and spends much of his time there. This show is about reconnecting with our roots. Mick dwells in civilization just long enough to get certain needs met (like the occasional burger in town) and then he's off to the woods again. This is truly celebrating "the middle way!"
Hannu Rauma Of all the shows out there its hard enough to find one with anything to offer let alone featuring someone you actually like. I started off skeptical seeing a barefoot wildman running through the bush but was hooked by the end of the first episode. I like Mick Dodge.. man, compared to the Chumlee's of the world this guy is solid. Mick Dodge is not a fake if he's got a storyline to follow. How can you criticize a TV show for being a TV show? Unless of course you have yet to produce your first show. You actually need to shoot 40+ hours for every 1 hour of edited show. Need it to be watchable? Then you have to break it down into 1 adventure per show and it needs to be planned out - in other words, scripted. Challenge: Take a camera crew into the bush and film 1 guy with no shoes and try capture the attention of people watching Kounts Customs. Seriously. Good job. Im a fan - zufo
Andrew Scott I didn't have high expectations when this show first came on, but Nat Geo really has set a new low for quality television. They have joined the bandwagon of reality TV, and this is what we get. A fake show that tries to get people to think it is real, and most people assume it is because its run by NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC. Everything is poorly staged, and it looks like they get all of their extras right off of there own camera crew. Reality TV is cheap to produce but I never though Nat Geo would stoop to this level. At least give us some survival advice or anything that would help in the wild! I have learned nothing from the show and if sent out into the Northwest rain forest would likely perish thanks to your content. Please start being honest with your viewers and let them know Mick Dodge isn't what you make him out to be.
