There's a show called Dual Survival coming up on Discovery (Friday, June 11 at 10:00 p.m. E/P). One of the "survivors" prefers to "survive" barefoot. Check it out...
Shipwrecked - Nova Scotia: Even with freezing temperatures and snow on the ground, Cody basically sticks to his barefoot strategy. For this cold northern latitude he allows himself the luxury of wool socks but they need to be kept dry to work effectively. Even though Cody's feet are tough and well conditioned, they're still prone to frostbite if there's constant direct contact with ice and snow.
Shipwrecked - Nova Scotia: Cody collects kelp that he can use as short strands of rope once it is braided to greatly increase its tensile strength.
Failed Ascent - New Zealand: Cody and Dave trek across a scree field during their descent from an 8,000 foot high plateau in New Zealand's Southern Alps Range. Their journey re-enacts the challenge of getting back down to civilization after a climbing mishap.
Desert Breakdown - Peru: Cody and Dave size up the only survival tool they'll have in Peru's infamous "Valley of the Volcanoes" - a derelict VW bug.
