More stuff from the Discovery Channel; Think Dual Survival with cordage. New six-episode series Tethered, premiering Oct. 5 on Discovery in the U.S., tests mans ability to survive in the most challenging terrain and environments on the planet — all while tied to a complete stranger. Tethered 53% of all survival situations in the wild involve complete strangers working together. If they split up, this would decrease by over half. Two polar opposite survival experts will endure 21 days in one of the harshest environments on earth, tied together at the waist by a 6ft steel cable. They must endure not only the elements, the incredible hostile wildlife and the need for warmth, food and water- but they must also endure each other’s hugely differing personalities. The goal is to reach the rescue point and be extracted out of the hell they find themselves in, but getting there will be a fine, tethered line between success and failure.
