Featured review
Educational and Inspirational
I'm interested in outdoor survival, so I was naturally attracted to the title of this series. I started watching the episodes hoping to learn something from them.
What I took out from this series was the following:
1. When you're lost, keep moving. Although there're no guarantee of survival, all the people who survived in this series kept on moving searching for help.
2. Always carry container to carry water.
3. Have plastic sheets and strings to form a shelter from wind and sun, they can also help to collect water.
4. Carry something to filter water. Having real outdoor water filter would be ideal.
5. Carry GPS, and if possible a satellite phone especially if you're going out to the remote areas of wilderness. Keep them in waterproof plastic bags. Going without it is playing Russian Roulette with fate.
6. Carry means to start fire.
7. Carry 3 days worth of food each day worth about 1800 calories. Each Day only weighs about a pound and a half, so it wouldn't be so heavy.
8. Carry a mosquito net in tropics and insect repellent to cover your body.
9. Of course know where you are starting from. Carry a compass and a map of the area.
10. Carry a basic survival kit and first aid.
11. Optional, carry a tent and sleeping bag.
12 Wear a comfortable shoes. Carry a windbreaker, and a hat even if the day is warm.
I've tallied up all these equipment and I found that I can come up with a pack that weighs well below 10 lbs. That's not much of a burden in contrast to the drastic increase in survival possibility.
So the program was not only interesting, but inspirational, and educational as well.
Highly Recommended.
