Mr. Grills states that the most important thing in this environment is 'protecting yourself', and if it is inside a horse it will not be attacked by wildlife, and it will protect itself from hypothermia and strong winds, so survival It was evaluated that it was a realistic option for Mr. Grils, who told the story of a person who spent the sandstorm in the Sahara desert and died in the body of a camel, seems to have tried it in the same way.

Then ' cast away '. Chuck Norland, who plays Tom Hanks, is forced to live on a deserted island that has survived the crash of his flying plane.

For example, when Mr. Grills himself makes a show on the show, even if it's only 30 seconds on the air, it actually takes about 12 hours. Still, in the survival situation, the fire was a big and very realistic assessment.
