It's not the best show but it really shows how life is in such a "civilized" country. He's a humble man that pays back what he takes. I love all these butt-hurt kids that wouldn't last a day in his shoes (or bare feet) that give him a negative rating because they can't understand life isn't like their life in a sheltered white suburb. His way of life is not as easy or spoon fed as most people that reviewed and that's why they gave it negative reviews : they can't relate. This is a part of the country that takes brains and brawn to live in. If I was lost in a swamp, i'd hope to come across a man like Shelby. Also I love the kid talking about GUN HAPPY. Hey, kiddo, you need a gun to survive in that part of the country. Enjoy fighting an alligator without a weapon you dope smoking hippie. All in all, it's a story of a humble man that lives in the swamp and pays back everyone he ever asks help from. He might be silly and goofy but deep inside he has more knowledge of survival then all the reviewers put together.
