Contest Suggestion #23

Hey Fluge,

Ever heard of that crazy Bear Grylls guy, who makes a living out of getting stranded in exotic locations all over the world and surviving with nothing but a knife and the clothes on his back until he can be rescued? This is your winning idea, my friend. It’s a cross between “Man vs. Wild” and “Survivor”. Imagine it: 30 days on a deserted island in the pacific, in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, in the Gobi desert, in the Australian Outback… with a knife, a water bottle, a flint, the clothes on your back, a trustworthy companion, and the knowledge you have acquired after months of researching your surroundings. This is the ultimate test of survival… a chance to return to nature and challenge man’s most primitive instincts as an adventurer.

The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil’s Triangle, is a region of the Atlantic Ocean in which a number of aircraft and surface vessels have disappeared in what are said to be circumstances that fall beyond the boundaries of human error or acts of nature. Some of these disappearances have been attributed to the paranormal, a suspension of the laws of physics, or activity by extraterrestrial beings by popular culture. Although a substantial documentation exists showing numerous incidents to have been inaccurately reported or embellished by later authors, several others remain unexplained. Sounds like a worthy challenge to me…
