Please point me towards films, shows, and stories about Survival or outdoorsmanship.

Asked by Zone36 (416points) May 1st, 2010

10 years after its release I finally watched Castaway. It was okay, but I was hoping for more survival discovery.

I’ve read and watched things like Alone in the Wilderness.
I also liked the Survivorman series.

I’d prefer is the stories were true accounts of someone’s survival from being stranded or lost.

As for film and tv, it can be fictional as long as it’s believable.
(Like no Lost or Survivor)

There was this show in the UK called Castaway 2000, it was kind of set up like Survivor, but they were actually meant to build a community there as if they were settling. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castaway_2000

Other survival stories like plane crashes in the mountains, or lost in the mountains. I remember seeing a documentary on PBS where 3 hikers lost a member in the mountains, and he managed to get back to them before they left him for dead.

Or even some thing Like Alone in the Wilderness would be great. Just someone showing how they managed to make their own life away from everything.

Also not really a fan of Bear Grylls.
