​When it comes to 'wicked awesome' people, we have more than our fair share here in the State of Maine. And, it just so happens, that one of those people joined us in studio to talk about their upcoming episode of 'Naked & Afraid'.

For those who aren't already aware, Naked & Afraid is a show on Discovery that puts two people who are naked, and likely afraid, in the middle of a jungle with nothing but one 'survival tool' each and let's them survive until they can't anymore, or until they make it a full 21 days.

According to information from the Discovery Channel website,

Naked and Afraid is a reality survival series on Discovery that pushes participants to their limits. In each episode, two strangers, typically one man and one woman, are dropped into a remote wilderness location without clothing. In Mike's case, it was the middle of a Philippines jungle.

Their challenge was to survive for 21 days using only their survival skills and one personal item each, such as a fire starter or machete. However, Mike couldn't disclose what their exact items were until after the episode has aired.

Naked & Afraid has certainly evolved since I started watching years ago. Discovery has since introduced multiple spin-offs like Naked and Afraid XL, where groups of experienced survivalists endure extended challenges, and Naked and Afraid: Last One Standing, a competitive format featuring returning participants .​
