The intrepid globetrotter takes a slightly different look at survival in this episode - instead of launching himself into some isolated hell-hole, he follows 20 RAF recruits as they endure a gruelling survival training course.
Ray Mears tests his mettle by trekking through the toughest terrains on the planet and telling us exactly how to survive in harsh conditions. This edition looks at treacherous mountain ranges, and features the incredible story of the US Air Force pilot who managed to keep himself and his son alive in a freezing blizzard for ten days before they were finally rescued.
Another dose of improvisation from survival expert Ray Mears. Marooned on a desert island in the Philippines, where coconuts supply liquid to drink and fish can be cooked in a hot-rock oven, Mears finds that many WWII airmen who baled out over the jungle islands were not so fortunate - and died through lack of survival training.
