Billy Berger on Naked and Afraid?
Dharma:
Obviously, the bamboo poles were launched by the film crew upriver.
Mohawk13:
Yeah..They still had the Home Depot labels on them... :laugh:
Hey Dharma...Spent 22 Years as a PA in the Army. Craziest thing I ever saw was in Iraq in 2005. Hummer 2 vehicles up gets nailed by an IED. The one guy who walks(well crawled) away from the blast and fire...Buck naked except for boots..Everything else burned and blown off him..oddly enough...even with the blast and fire..Not a mark on him..Hair was burned off and He was deaf for a few weeks....Just an observation about survival in extreme conditions...
sleek:
Damn...
Dharma:
I'll grant you that, Mohawk. But in a plane crash, we're talking about burning JP4. You can see what happened to the few people that survived those two 747s crashing at Tenerife back in the 70s.
sleek:
Im coming to the conclusion that being naked is a decent stand in for the stresses of what real life would be like in an actual survival situation. I can not think of anything else the crew could do to the subjects to stress them more....
Well one thing actually that would be brilliant. Not give them any idea how long they have to survive. Just drop them off for an unspecified number of days, then leave it up to them how long they want to last. Without having an end goal to count down to, they have no light at the end of the tunnel, nothing to look forward to other than another cold night, trying to keep the fire up and bugs off. That would make the show complete in my eyes. Wish I knew how to make that suggestion to the writers.
