Thanks to my recent addiction to learning anything and everything about hiking/backpacking I've delved into the world or reality survival tv shows. I know how inaccurate tv is. Editing is everything, so I take these shows with a grain of salt. However, it irks me to no end that they pick these people with no serious medial issues. Insurance won't cover the potentially medically fragile. I would one day LOVE to see a T1D on a survival show. I mean, come on! How well do we know survival tips and tricks. Hell, every single day we battle for our lives. We take meds that keep us alive and if we don't take them we can die very easily. If we take too much we can die in hours to minutes, if we don't take them at all, we can either die slowly or super fast depending on where we eat.
One or many of us could easily kick butt.
