I’m flying over western Australia in a region called the Kimberley. It’s an area the size of California. Yet only 30,000 people live here and most of those by the coast. This place is wild. The outback has an extreme climate. For eight months of the years, it never rains and it can get up to 130 degrees. Now it’s the wet season and it’s even tougher. Humidity is often a hundred percent, which makes the temperatures feel even more unbearable. The Aussies call it the suicide season. Of the thousands of the hardcore tourists who come here, 40 lose their lives every year to heat, snakes and cyclones. They say if you get lost out here with no survival skills, there’s a 75-percent chance you’ll die. 

 

But I’m gonna show how you can survive in this harshest of environments. If needed, I’ll get some help from local experts and a camera crew will follow me.
