Anybody seen this show on the Discovery Channel? The whole premise is, they fly this guy out to the middle of nowhere, parachute him in and the only things he has to survive on are a knife, a bottle of water, and a flint. He has to make it back to civilization in 5 days or else he fails (he's never failed though, as far as I know).
It's a pretty nifty show. The guy is incredibly resourceful. He couldn't find any water so he squeezed liquid out of elephant shit once. The same episode he came upon a carcass of a dead zebra and then prepared to eat the raw meat right off of the zebra's hide. It was badass.
He's got a camera crew with him but they can't aide him. It's really interesting and it may teach you a couple vital things should you ever get stranded. Check it out.
