I think the whole thing is a big con and the network producers of those shows are laughing all the way to the bank. They are preying on people who will literally agree to do anything to get their 15 minutes of fame.
The show reminds me of watching another con, Dr. Oz, when he tells people that some roots and dirt ground up in a blender will taste exactly like a chocolate Sundae. Then you watch the people gag it down and summon every ounce of muscle control to not puke it all up and forfeit their chance to be on TV.
Big CONS?????
One of my favorite past times is pausing (rewinding) a program right after some "survivalist/woodsman/frontiersman" tells the world they would be in serious trouble if something goes wrong in such a rustic area. I like to point out the house/powerline/highway, etc.. that can be seen in the backgound.
I still watch the shows....I just take it all in with a skeptics attitude.
I am sorry...but if every "build" is coming down to the wire, If you are in such dire need of a miracle to make the dead-line...how in the heck have you managed to stay in business as long as you have, and why don't you ever seem to learn from your mistakes? Or in the case of the "off the grid people" how are you still alive?!?!?!?
As it was said: The tiny home crowd, is a fad crowd. They spend, spend and spend, while claiming they are making a finacially based decision to "cut back" on expenses. The only way their tiny home is saving them money, is if they put it on mommy & daddy's property and avoid property taxes. Otherwise they would just buy a TT or manufactured home.
Each their own....hogwash to the B.S. story line...reality in the eye of the producer.
