Anyone else watch Mark & Olly - living with the Mek?

The suffering these two endure to chronicle the last primiitve tribes is remarkable. I love their shows. The last tribe they lived with before the Mek was also quite fascinating.

Yeah, pretty cool show. I wouldn't want a pecker gourd though...Or atleast, I'd make my own.
