Strick is back for a new Survival Challenge Series! He's re-visiting different survival stories while travelling up the remote stretches of the Great Barrier Reef. There's tales of heroic survival against all odds, and some tragic endings... Join him in the exact location of these scenarios to test his own survival skills and share their crazy stories. In this Episode Strick is following in the wake of Captain Cook. The year is 1770 and Captain Cook's ship The Endeavour has just run aground the Great Barrier Reef... With nothing but open ocean for miles and fearing the ship will soon be smashed to pieces, he spots two islands on the horizon that are his only hope of survival. In order to survive on these desert islands they will need to catch Giant Mudcrabs barehanded, use bushcraft skills like making a handpear to catch fish, making a fire with a flint and utilising the environment for shelter. Hope you enjoy coming along on this Survival Challenge!

the summer of 1975, 25-year-old Linda Skvarna set off on a solo road trip across the United States with her dog Coco Gin. Her last stop of the trip was the Grand Canyon, and after seeing an enticing waterfall on a post card, she decided that would be her destination. Linda set off knowing nothing of the intensity or length of the hike, and thanks to poorly maintained trail signs, she was soon hopelessly lost in the never ending maze with no food or water.
