Watching the latest series of Alone Australia on SBS. Now that's a real survivor show. I find it fascinating. Would not be easy in those environments!

I really like Alone. Just brutal conditions there in Fiordland in NZ.
But I can't help thinking when watching the Oz version, there is an element missing from the US original. That's right - deadly predators! No bears, wolves or coyotes to deal with. They don't even have snakes in NZ.
Nevertheless, fascinating to see how the contestants try to deal with it all.

Anyone see the UK version a few months ago? Pretty funny. They must be light on for survivalists in UK, so they went with an entrepreneur, a designer, a PR executive, a project manager among others.

And in some of the earlier ones they didn’t even have access to water which made it even tougher again.
