Quoted By:
Its really neat how he managed to find two different flip flops that fit him perfectly. And that spoon he used in the third episode. And all those water bottles. And that straw. And that rope. And that long sleeve shirt. And those tin cans he used for boiling. And that toothbrush. And that rugby ball he used as a pillow. It's even neater that the goat tangled itself so securely in that vine. Definitely a very realistic depiction of a real world survival situation on a remote deserted island.
He eats only raw foods, drinks only unsterilized water, stands in direct view of the sun all day and gets sick multiple times. All of this while having the safety net of a satellite phone, GPS locator, and med-kit. I cringed when he jumped off that rock in ep. 1 @ 19:16. Who the fuck would willingly risk that?
He's a great dude, but the show (from an educational standpoint considering he's an 'expert') sucked complete ass. HE TOOK 13 ENTIRE FUCKING DAYS TO FINALLY DECIDE TO START A FIRE. They should have named it "The Depressed and Lonely Scavenger".
Oh and the best verbatim quote from the entire miniseries? “No one’s ever survived sixty days on a desert island without any tools or clothing.”
