You guys summed it up well, so my addition is more like venting

I saw a few episodes of "Naked & Afraid" and thought that it wasn't thought out all that well

First, those guys are said to be "naked" . Since it is a "survival show" , the word "naked" should be taken in that context and should mean "NO TOOLS WHTSOEVER". They do, however, have two bags and two tools !! So what is the point of putting two clothless ppl (male & female) in a show like this ?

If I would have done this show , I would allow MINIMAL clothing, so the clothing (or lack thereof) isn't the issue , but minimal stuff on you. Let them , then have a tool or 2 with them and call it (minimal survival).

Even in real survival situations you don't here about ppl having NO clothing whatsover, except in aboriginal tribes in rainforests. So , being naked seems rare and irrelevant to survival situations we read about in survival literature.

This just adds to everyone's point that Reality TV is neither.
