I have recorded this show from season one. I watch them over and over. Wish it would come out with season two, and then 3-4-5 on and on!! I always wonder why they keep some dumb shows on and let the interesting ones go. ❤

It could be that it wasn't seriously promoted ( time, date, channel, snippets ). I didn't become aware of it until it was already over and I spent a long time waiting for season two. ?

This is a real show about real people. Besides showing people of real character it gives us a lesson of how the world could be and should be. Please bring back the show for another season or more.

This show has been a breath of fresh air as far as outdoor based reality tv shows. My wife, our son and I love to watch and see the challenges each participant get faced with and how they overcome them. Please National Geographic if you are listening, bring back The Boonies and Live Free or Die.

I too am a big fan of The Boonies show. I was shocked to see that it has not been renewed yet. Please National Geographic Boonies needs to be renewed because there are so many people who love watching the show, even my 85 year old mother. I and everyone else would be very happy to see that Boonies is back on TV again. Excellent show to watch and I highly recommend it.

I keep waiting for some update to see if this show will be coming back. A hidden gem, and a reality show actually worth watching. I love the humanity with all the characters, but Bear Claw and Joe Ray - well I could watch so much more.... Please bring back soon.

I came upon The Boonies quite by accident one day while looking for something different to watch. I had by-passed this program during the season-didn't sound interesting. WOW!! was I WRONG!! After watching only 1 repeat episode, I was hooked.

I wish more background of the cast would be revealed. For instance-What does Joe Ray do to earn money to buy supplies from time to time? Prospect? How about the couple that live in the tree? Does he go away from their camp and work to earn cash to buy basic supplies--flour, sugar, toilet paper? Info like that would add even more interest to the program.

I keep looking and looking for season 2. Thank goodness I came upon this place so I could put in my 2 cents worth.

Live the show!! Really really hope it returns soon, my wife and I loved watching because we can relate especially with bearclaw because we too live mostly that way and mostly off grid. We are in the process of moving to Kentucky with more land (freedom) and can continue our path perhaps all the way! Thank you soo much for doing shows like this!!

My moma and i love these shows. Itsnamazing how they survive and privide for there own needs. I myself have done the same thing when i was younger but if it came down to it i could still survive. Once u learn the skills to live n the wild u never forget them. We r really hoping n praying that Boonies r renewed for another and many more seasons. Just love the the show and the ppl in the show. PLEASE RENEW BOONIES.

My husband and I have been watching boonies love how they all live. U have question how we all think we all need electronic, electric, these gizmos an gadgets. All we r doing is taking advantage of the systems when we can have everything we need for free. We r about to plunge and live off grid can't wait. Everything at r finger tips for taking. Now to sale out and just go.....
