about the show
"A group of people are given the task of surviving in the wilderness for 40 days. Each survivalist is only allowed to bring one or two helpful item(s) of his or her choosing. They are not given any other items, clothing, food, or water. The camera crews are not allowed to intervene, except for medical emergencies. Any member of the cast is allowed to tap-out at any time, meaning he or she decides not to continue with the task and goes home. The contestants hunt, trap, and gather their food in the wild and build shelters with their own hands and the available material found in the nature. At the end of the 40 days, the remaining survivalist(s) must arrive at the designated extraction point. The success of this last task indicates their ability to survive in a harsh environment for a long period of time. No cash prize has been announced for successful XL participants."
Xl4 "The selati basin"
"13 Naked and Afraid all stars take on the hunting grounds of apex predators including lions, hyenas and jaguars as they attempt to survive 40 Days and 40 Nights in one of Africa's most unforgiving environments, the Selati River Basin."
