Costa Rica
A Costa Rican getaway – as far removed from everyday living as you can imagine; lush rainforests and deserted tropical beaches. Marooned on Costa Rica’s Osa Peninsula, Les “Survivorman” Stroud has only a few items to aid him for the next 7 days: swimming goggles, 3 ballpoint pens, a multi-tool and the clothing on his back. On top of keeping hydrated in the intense humidity and relentless heat, Les must cope with deadly snakes, enormous spiders, land crabs and scorpions.

He empties out the contents of his pack; half a gallon of water, a snack bar and his multi-tool, is all he has with him for the next 7 days.
