Discovery Extreme Survival Pack (2005)

Extreme Survival explores the actions of those whose clear thinking under pressure helped save their lives in the most extraordinary circumstances imaginable. Each episode presents gritty, real-life accounts of survival - cases where tremendous will power and quick wits overcome unimaginable odds. In each hour, the program will explore the act of survival by reconstructing one unbelievable true tale for our host, Troy Hartman, to experience first-hand. With help from a team of stuntmen and special effects experts, Extreme Survival will create situations that carefully approximate the real-life efforts of our survivors. Troy puts himself in the survivors¹ place, so that he ---and our audience---- can experience the traumatic events of our subjects up close. Throughout the hour, we¹ll also explore the anatomy of each disastrous situation, what happened and how each came to be. Troy will interview experts who explain exactly what turned the incident into a life or death situation for our survivors.
