Yes, I remember one episode about a dad and his kid getting lost in the Australian desert with 50C temps, their car blew up and they had only like 2 bottles of water, they survived something like a week I think.
I saw that one!- I Shouldn't Be Alive- Worst Nightmare - YouTube What really amazes me about this show (vs. Suvivorman and Man vs. Wild) is that the people are NOT survivalists and many don't even have any more survival training than the lay person. They are just regular every day regular people who planned short vacations or day excursions and ended up lost big time. Sometimes by some survival smarts, but more often by sheer dumb luck, they manage to get rescued (or rescue themselves) when the odds were way, way against them.
On another note, has anyone else seen the latest reality survival show, "Naked and Scared"?
Two selected strangers (one man and one woman) are dropped out in the middle of a the wilderness with only one item of their choice and literally no clothes on their back. Of course, given the circumstances, it's usually a tropical location with a lot of risk of snakes and other dangerous creatures being the largest threat. The scenario is a lot more interesting than Survivor because of the nudity and the fact that the "couple" is alone together for three weeks in the middle of nowhere. Lots of tensions between the "couple"- They usually pick people with some survival skills training but who are not total experts at wilderness survival. http://dsc.discovery.com/tv-shows/naked-and-afraid
