The Discovery Channel has some very interesting survival shows. On the Dutch television they broadcast the shows ‘Hunting Chris Ryan’ and ‘I shouldn´t be alive’. Both about people how survived life threatening situations.

Hunting Chris Ryan is the show where Chris Ryan, a SAS vetaran how E&E’ed 8 days in Iraq, gets dropped in very rough terrain and has to complete a SAS-military-style mission while a ‘’hunting-force’’ is chasing him. I is filmed from the jungle of Honduras till frozen Siberia. The show sometimes really becomes life threatening because of health problems like frostbit and severe hydration.

I Shouldn´t Be Alive tells the real life survival stories from a shipwreck till a Alaska mountain climb trip that goes bad.

Both are really interesting if you like to learn what and what not to do on a simple trip. So if you are interested in this material just google it. So both are, next to the Ray Mears shows, my favourite (outdoor) TV-programs. Well MotoGP and TopGear are all right to!
 
I'm a fan of I Shouldn´t Be Alive. I've seen every episode.

My beloved wife, who normally stays away from this kind of fare, got hooked by the one where the conservationist has a plane crash in the Austrailian Outback that breaks his legs in multiple places.

SPOILER ALERT

Both of us were really rooting for this guy. He does make it out alive, albeit a few inches shorter, because of operations on his crushed legs.

He still makes his living as a conservationist Down Under. Very ballsy guy. But then he'd have to be.
 
Anyone know where to find "Hunting Chris Ryan" in the states -- just read a few summaries, and it looks pretty kick a$$
 
...a plane crash in the Austrailian Outback that breaks his legs in multiple places.

Isn’t this episode about a plain crash in a wildlife-park in Africa?! There were encounters with elephants, hyenas and lions. Don’t want to be a smartass but I believe it was Africa.


and it looks pretty kick a$$

That’s just why I had to inform the forum! Call it loyal;)
