Bushcraft / survivalism films - anyone recommend a good one.

[ReamviThantos]

I was wondering to myself whether there are any films which would be considered as good viewing for the community with authentic skills or events on show. I'd like to start off with one but drew a blank- ???

 

[Kepis]

Alone In The Wilderness

Snow Walker

The Canyon

Island In the Sky (kind of)

The road, as far as I remember is a decent survival film.

sent from my Jelly Bean'd galaxy nexus.

Do you mean feature films or documentary ?

 

[Kepis]

Rambo Trilogy

Predator

 

[Ahjno]

The Grey

A cry in the wild

The way back

Into the wild

Man in the wild

Either or. Seen The Road, it wasn't all it was anticipated as being IMHO. I'll have look into the others suggested as I've not seen any of these thank you so far.

Larry Dean Olson was a consultant on the film.

How could I have forgotten the Edge.

'The Hunted' has a few bushcrafty elements ( Tracking , Flint Knapping , Friction Fire ) in it ( and a rubbish performance by Bencio Del Toro )

Into the wild

Great film. The book's more balanced, but it's a fascinating story.

Being a Seattle-born, one-time grunger - not much!

good viewing for the community with authentic skills or events on show

If you are looking for a real documentary with no Hollywood bulls**t, it doesn't get any better IMHO than the Werner Herzog documentary "Happy People..a year in the Taiga"
90 minutes of bushcraft and survival at it's most extreme, superlative film making and narration by a master of his craft.....available on You-Tube but unable to get the link to work, maybe someone else can do the honours?

"Happy People..a year in the Taiga"

Oh wow! I love Herzog, but haven't seen this. Nice one!
