Dirty Rotten Survival
Three friends reinvent the great American road trip by giving each other survival challenges. Dick is an engineer, Johnny is a builder and Dave is a primitive survivalist. With each episode they tackle new terrains and challenges with limited or unusual supplies.
Genre: Adventure
S1.E1 ∙ Swamped
The guys head to the swampiest state in America -- Louisiana -- to see if they have the skills to get an old jeep through the Atchafalaya Basin. Dave has arranged to pick up an iconic World War II-era Jeep that the guys will use in their attempt to traverse the swamp. With just a canteen of water and a small swamp survival kit each, the guys test their skills to get the 1947 jeep -- and themselves -- through a 50-mile course in one piece.
S1.E2 ∙ Hog Wild
Dick, Johnny and Dave head to the heart of Texas to hunt and trap hogs from an overrun hog population, using only handmade weapons.
S1.E3 ∙ CarBQue
Dave challenges Johnny and Dick to go car-camping in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Canterbury-style. At a junkyard, they each select a vehicle to drive through the logging roads, staying at different campsites over three nights and ending at the northernmost tip of Lake Superior. Using only their cars and a few demolition tools, the guys must take whatever they can from their vehicles to use as camping resources for each night on the road.
S1.E4 ∙ Jersey Devils
Homebuilder and jack-of-all-trades Johnny Littlefield is flipping the standard survival trek on its head with a 50-mile hike through the most densely populated state in America: New Jersey. Accompanied by survival expert Dave Canterbury and engineer Dick Strawbridge, Littlefield starts his journey in the center of humanity -- a mall parking lot -- and finishes in the least populated place in the state, the Pine Barrens.
S1.E5 ∙ Desert Express
In Nevada, the guys attempt to conquer a 75-mile trek through the most barren stretch of the Old West, the route of the classic Pony Express. Do they have the skills and the savvy to tackle this bone-dry gauntlet of desert terrain...riding bicycles instead of horses? The journey begins at one of the few Pony Express stops still standing -- Middlegate Station. A high-octane prize waits for the man whose 'pony' runs best.
S1.E6 ∙ Castaways
Florida's Ten Thousand Islands mangrove labyrinth presents a tough challenge for survival.
S1.E7 ∙ Timber!
Johnny takes the guys deep into Washington's Olympic Peninsula to a 500-acre parcel of land, challenging them to build an old-school logging camp. Each must fell one tree, process it into usable lumber, and then build a camp using tools and resources from the surrounding area. Stopping only to eat, sleep, and complete an occasional side challenge, the guys will climb, chop, and build their way to a fully functioning lumber camp.
S1.E8 ∙ Get Hardware
The guys have five minutes to gear up in a hardware store before facing a 25-mile hike through the Berkshire Mountains. Setting off into untrailed wilderness they rely on their skills, improvised tool kits and grit to get them through to the end.
S1.E9 ∙ Gimme Shelter
Dave, Dick and John go to Ohio and each builds his own style of brush shelter in the woods.
S1.E10 ∙ Fool's Gold
Dick takes the guys to Oregon, one of the forgotten frontiers of America's gold rush, for a mid-1800s-style prospecting adventure. Base camp is a mountain peak, crisscrossed by historically gold-baring streams and overlooked by a mine shaft.
