Just done with another survival "movie":
"The Island with Bear Grylls".



It shows 13 ordinary British men living for 29 days on an uninhabited (but rich in survival resources) tropical island somewhere in the Pacific with only 3 sets of Bear Grylls' logo bearing merchandise (I've noticed BG machete, knife, fire starter, and the headlamp). Even though its survival side is quite insignificant to research, one could at least get a good grasp on some of the psychological quirks of the ordeal. It's also quite a spectacular visual paradise in HD (though, two cameramen were among the survivors as well, so there were probably not so much of a good video footage made, the documentary looks quite spotty). Still, there were some useful to study moments for me anyways.

By the way, the web site above also provides an interactive "survival on the tropical island" quiz (just scroll down a bit) - quite amusing as well. In fact, it reveals all of the tactical and strategical errors the 13 men obviously made. It is sad that there were no any useful analysis of that done at the end of the series, like at the end of each of the "Naked and Afraid" episodes. The later, by the way, became quite a good show in the 3rd season, with quite interesting participants.
