#1
S1E10 8.3
Bogged Down

Deep inside Brazil's Pantanal, the largest swamp wetland in the world, Cody and Dave wade through piranha-infested waters in search of civilization. Their best bet for rescue is a river but Cody's plan on how to travel on it could sink them both.

#2
S2E1 8.2
Slash and Burn

Dave and Cody show how lost hunters can survive in the harsh conditions of Tierra Del Fuego, just 500 miles from Antarctica. To demonstrate how to survive an extreme injury, Dave self-inflicts a laceration and uses black powder to cauterize the wound. Then, the pair have to cross a frigid bog to reach the coast, facing the hazards of hypothermia and the threat of being swallowed whole by the sucking waters.

#3

Soaked

For two boat-wrecked hunters, surviving in the Pacific Northwest rainforest takes keen navigation skills and the know-how to avoid hypothermia and signal for rescue. Dave and Cody take on this nightmare scenario and show what it takes to survive.
