The Boonies National Geographic Off Grid Reality TV Show

The Boonies

Produced by National Geographic, the Boonies, as its name implies, focuses on individuals who have decided to “live off the grid” in uninhabited, wild locations around the US. Bear in mind that many viewers are skeptical of the veracity of these stories, so there is little consensus on the overall quality of this show. This review on Amazon is quite condemning of the Beaver Island episode and provides compelling supporting evidence. Regardless, we include this in our list of shows for its provocative topic and beautiful cinematography, and, most importantly, to help those seriously considering “off grid living” be more discerning of what this lifestyle really entails.

Themes: Adventure, Outdoor Living, Off Grid, Travel

Flip Wars on Hulu

Flip Wars

Episodes start out a bit like “Storage Wars” with known flip “frenemies” bidding on an auctioned home, sight unseen.
