Thanks I will watch that,... I really do think that his overall score should have gone down not up

I've been to the Cook Islands for 5 weeks on my 21st Birthday on a survival style thing. Surviving there really isn't too difficult. I'm stunned how stupid he was. Granted the cool ocean breeze makes it easy to burn as you don't feel yourself getting too hot, but it's pretty easy to hunt a coconut and use the milk and meat as a skin cooling balm. But I guess that's only going to work if you learn to do it before you go out there. If you don't know it, you can't use it. Sitting on a beach platting leaves is boring as hell, but the end result is a wonderful waterproof roof to a hut.

I am guessing that the chosen spot was the best spot for filming, but there were all sorts of mistakes made,.. we were taught some of this before serving in the Far East,...

Never pitch your camp on the beach, go back in 10 feet or so = shade and protection from storms and swell

They had their fronts to the sun, so were on the sunny side of the island during the hottest time, so they should have camped on the other side of the island,.... which would also have protected them from that storm wind

They should have moved inland during their time there,.. if they had they would have found that lake that was shown to us from the air,... but that probably wasn't aloud

There was plenty of water anyway, put sea water in a coconut, have the steam hit a large leaf and have the condensation run into one of the bottles they found,....and during that storm, I didn't see one water container out collecting water
A major part of survival is invisibility.
