Episode 1
Arizona Sky Islands
Thu, Feb 17, 201146 mins
After jumping from a helicopter in a wing suit Bear finds himself in the Arizona dessert. There he finds the water tastes better filtered through his sock or a straw stuffed with grass or charcoal. Cruising across the desert in a make-shift sail cart (until he crashes of course) Bear heads for the for the mountains where he finds lots more ways to defy death with parachute cord such as a hanging bivouac and swinging from a cliff.
Episode 2
Cape Wrath, Scotland
Thu, Feb 24, 201143 mins
Bear is in the desolate, barren highlands coast, where British elite troops get 'Arctic training'. Vegetation is scarce and skinny, hence food rare, so he can't be picky and tucks into 'instant sushi' (biting a head off) after catching two small fish painstakingly by placing a found net in a stones-narrowed passage in a lake. A rotten seal carcass isn't edible, but the skin makes a single-use-tight wet-suit to cross a wide, icy bit of sea. Even walking proves perilous as stones and rocks give way suddenly. Shelter for the merciless elements is scanty, making best of a wrecked boat. Wading a bog proves exhausting, and after falling in he improvises 'snow shoes' for buoyancy by binding heather to his boots.
