Ray Mears's Extreme Survival: Deserted Island

on BBC Two England

During the Second World War, many airmen who had to bale out over the Philippines died because they weren't trained in the art of survival. Mears tells of one young man who did make it, and, in a classic survival situation, is himself marooned on a tiny island in the Philippines. There he drinks coconut milk and eats fish cooked in a hot-rock oven.
