It seems a little “trash TV” but ignoring that I kind of like it? Learned some things from the show. Seems to be mostly city folk moving out to the country without doing any research beforehand

    I think the show, while I can agree is trash tv, is fairly well grounded in reality. They do a great job of showing you what you can do with some community sweat equity and few resources.

    Yes, they have connections, and the main dude is a god with a chainsaw, but - if you have a few friends and family and a long weekend and a can do attitude, most of what they do is very achievable.

    I’m not a homeateader, but I enjoy the show because I get some good ideas from it if nothing else. Always interesting to see the solutions they come up with… And hey, at least they are genuinely helping folk that need it.
