Yeah I agree it's kinda pushing the limits for Discovery Channel, but then that's what they want to do.  I gotta say that the survival shows are really the only things I watch on TV.  I don't really care for the vast majority of garbage that's shown on the "Rot Box". Every channel has reality shows now, and it's unfortunately gotten a little ridiculous.  I just want quality programming!!

Congradulations Billy, can't wait to see it!!  I don't have cable but I'll be sure to catch it at a friends house.  Worlds best stunt woman?!  Sweet!  Did she start looking like a big chicken leg after a few weeks?  ;)

This is sort of funny. I warned the other half that I had set the DVR to record "Naked and Afraid". I got the look I expected, so I had to explain what the show was about and that I knew one of the people that was going to be on it. After that she was ok with it. Looking forward to watching.

Dang I missed it, saw it coming on and didn't realize it was his episode. Hopefully there was some archery?

HEy guys!  Well, the show aired last nite, and will re-air several more times over the next few weeks.  I really hope ya'll liked it.  I thought it was really good, and I was very pleased that they presented me in a positive light.  Most of the guys were portrayed as whiners or with substandard skills.  Glad I dodged that bullet.  Anyway, what did you guys think?

You did great. I thought you were gonna fashion a sapling bow when I saw you hacking down that little tree.
Very well done. Must have sucked getting flooded out. Happend to me once when I camped along a river.

Billy thats amazing..like u I watch surviavl shows..how did u get that opportunity to do that?  That would be a dream come true... Im sure being out of your comfort zone not being familiar with the terrain and no clothes was a serious challenge.  Im not sure I could walk barefoot in a swamp...snapping turtles, snakes, etc..Congrats man..I will rewatch it again..did u mention us t all???LOL..hey who knows a little tv time might open up something else down the road!

Time, dedication, cuts, tons of broken rock, a wife, and perhaps a few girlfriends are some of what it takes in becoming a skilled flint knapper!!!

Billy what else have you been on? I feel like I have seen you before.

They did show you and the other guys complaining more than I feel they should have. I think you stick anyone in that situation with no food and nothing but nasty water as far as the eye can see and they will complain. Heck, I didn't eat breakfast yet this morning and I'm sitting here wanting to fuss about it. I wish they would emphasize that part less and show more of the actual survival such as the knapping, and crawfish trap making and stuff like that. I bet having to poop in the water was rough.

Now that I've finished typing I'm gonna go microwave some toaster struttle  ;) I'm starving!! >:D

Wife and I watched it.  A little on the different side, walking around naked and camping in a swamp.  While watching it looked like you were working on a glass arrowhead and attaching it to a stick for a spear.  At the beginning of the show you and the gal were given only two  items to use, you a knife and the gal a fire starter.  Was I seeing things or did you knap a glass point and if so where did the glass come from?  When I saw that I mentioned it to my wife but she didn't catch it so maybe I was seeing things.  I did get a kick out of you being on the show the day my Primitive Archer Magazine came.  I grabbed it and pointed your photo out to her from the magazine.
