(which is where I get my best ideas.)
I most enjoy Survivorman (which isn't made anymore. 
), Naked and Afraid and Alaska the Last Frontier, in all three cases because the shows have taught me things, or have at least done a good job of explaining problems I'll likely have, that will save me time and energy once I move North.
One that I often think about is an episode of Alaska the Last Frontier where the farm lady needed to gather up her older hens for slaughter. The trouble is, she first needed to get them into the hen house (they were running around outside at the time.). Chasing them in seemed like a lesson in futility.
One of the guys on the show showed her a shortcut: Get a long bamboo poll or a branch, and tie a black trashbag to the end of it so it dangles like a hook from a fishing pole. Then wave the bag well over the heads of the chickens. The chickens will think it's a circling hawk and will run for shelter.
She tried it and damned if it didn't work! Okay, so it seems like a little thing, but THAT will be really useful to me! I can't wait to try it when I start raising chickens.
