Greyman 25,284 Posted December 8, 2023 Report Share Posted December 8, 2023 Survival is quite boring in reality, you need shelter fire and water, jumping off cliffs or swimming in ice water makes good tv but in a real survival situation there’s likely to be an injured or elderly person involved which rules out 99% of there programs, they are tv presenters really, it still makes better telly than the normal drivel we all watch if truth be told 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
