Survival shows are television programs that focus on individuals or teams attempting to survive in challenging environments. Participants often face extreme conditions, such as harsh weather, limited food, and isolation, while showcasing their skills in wilderness survival, foraging, and shelter building. These shows can be competitive, with contestants vying for a prize, or documentary-style, highlighting the survival techniques used. Many survival shows feature well-known personalities or experts in outdoor skills who guide participants through their experiences. Popular examples include Survivor, where contestants are stranded on an island, and Man vs. Wild, where host Bear Grylls demonstrates survival tactics in various locations.
