Off-Grid living sounds amazing on paper, and there are definitely some people who are doing this well beyond surviving but thriving and living very comfortably. But there are some key aspects to consider before you venture into off-grid living.
With the temperature rising on the planet every year with record highs broken on a regular basis, one must learn to adapt doing strenuous tasks in the heat to survive. Most people can’t do what they normally can in extreme heat.
21 day challenge located in Panama (Panama, Central America) – Harsh environment, dense swamp, Echis and viper snakes, and howler monkeys. Oppressive heat, torrential downpour, humidity, and violent floods.
Beware of the Bayou – 21 day challenge located in Louisiana swamp land (Louisiana, USA) – Dense swamp land, many alligators, 6 types of snakes, including pit vipers and water moccasins. Hurricane, storm surges, humidity, and an unseasonal cold spell. Extraction in deeper waters with many alligators.
There are so many swim strokes for swimming, but which is the best? The only way you have learned to swim (most likely front crawl.) But if you know how, the breaststroke is my favorite.
Breaking Borneo – 21 day challenge located in Borneo (Malaysian Archipelago) – Mountainous, rugged country, dense dangerous forest, with 13 feet of annual rain fall. Wild boars, leeches, and snakes.
Punishment in Panama – 21 day challenge located in Panama (Central America) – Hot temperatures, high humidity, 80mph winds, and rain. Sharks in the ocean and snakes in the ocean. Requires a raft to be built for extraction.
Island from Hell – 21 day challenge located in Maldives (Indian Ocean) – 120°F temperatures, high humidity, hurricane force winds, and monsoon rains. Reef sharks, eels and stingrays in the ocean.
I am sure many survivalists have watched the show “Naked and Afraid”. They burn a lot of calories (energy out) but consume minimal calories (energy in) during their assigned time to enter and finish the challenge in harsh and unpredictable conditions. Caloric balance is critical for survival, but they tend to do some tasks that are not beneficial for their success.
Terror in Tanzania – 21 day challenge located in Tanzania (Africa) – 100°+ F temperatures and storms. The survivalists must build a signal fire for extraction. 3 miles from the starting point to the only water source.
