Mountain Men is a decent reality TV show, and the DVDs are worth getting, so I believed, until Season 4. Season 4 DVD has only 8 episodes, and the other half of the season is not available yet. The earlier seasons are all in one DVD package. When I bought Season 1, 2 and 3, I got the whole season in each DVD package, so the change in packaging is confusing. It appears to be a bait and switch.

Seems a little confusing? It is for the consumer.

What Happens in Mountain Men Season 4?

The promotion isn’t clear about what I am actually buying, since it appears to be the whole season, even though there are only two discs. How can 8 episodes fill two discs?

Don’t get me wrong. It is a great program, but it is so disappointing to have only half the season on the DVD package. I looked at Amazon, and most of the reviews state the same thing. They are disappointed because they only received half the season.

The Harsh Realities of Mountain Living

Despite the packaging change, Mountain Men: Season 4 is a great show. My favorite episode is when Marty finishes his cabin in time for his family’s arrival. 

Rich, in Montana, has dogs that are in danger after pursuing a bobcat too far. Then Tom gets the once-over after receiving a risky commission. In beautiful North Carolina, a mishap brings Eustace’s lumber operation to a sudden halt.

Snowstorms, Predators, and Isolation

Season 4 first aired in 2015. The series follows the cast as they battle extreme weather, predators, and isolation in remote regions of North America.

As an afterthought, some of you might be happier viewing the streaming episodes on History.  If you do the math, you might find it a better deal with 14 seasons and 201 episodes.
