Man vs wild

Alex McClintock / Writer

I wouldn’t survive in the wild. I don’t know how to build a shelter. I can’t even tie a knot. Maybe that’s why I’m obsessed with US reality show Alone, on Binge, in which 10 survivalists are left in the wilderness to fend for themselves for as long as they can.It makes for great vicarious travel (as long as you like your trips dirty and miserable).
