I am quite literally rolling on the floor laughing my ass off right now.

Why do people play the lottery? Same reason, poor thinking skills.

Not this one, thats just stupid. Did he not read the title of this forum "Equipped TO Survive".
Things like Knifes, cordage, & containers, etc. are not Extras when it comes to survival.

That pretty much counts me out....

Yea, I am in the same situation.. my lasers have been defused to a Mini Maglight flashlight, with low AA batteries.

Humm all that I can think is, The best way to survive is to NOT be caught without your gear. As they say, "The best way to win a fight is to not get in one." So the best way to do extreme survival is to dodge extreme survival.

I don't understand why involvement in these sort of things are looked down on so much.

You get to challenge yourself, have an adventure and its not only on someone else's dime, but you get compensated for your time as well. I mean, I'm definitely not the target participant for a show like this, but I can see the appeal.

Sometimes I think we forget its okay to have fun, be adventurous and, yes, even push the boundaries of what we think we are capable of or what is "safe."

Denis:

for me it would be the fact that you start the show NAKED! As in nothing to start with.

HUGE pass on this show.

their show might do OK ... they just need to get the right people. that's probably why they advertised here :-)

if I was young and I had a lot of free time on my hands - I might give it a go. I doubt that they will let anybody die out there. but they do need to give careful consideration to their safety plans. Just having a couple of paramedics on the set might not be sufficient.

Au contraire! Everyone knows the ParaGod creed:
