Every Day Experiences:

• You would see a lot of water and big mountains and glaciers.
• There also is a lot of snow as you know by now and you
would probably not like to live there.
• Why?
• Imagine you had to live in below twenty weather with feet of
snow every day. Plus you have a constant battle of staying
warm and predators.
• Well you don’t have to imagine anymore because survival is
staring for new cast members Jordan, Nathan, Carson, and
Matt.
 Challenge:

• They will be sent of to this terrible tundra in the North Pole.

• They will be battling hypothermia and other dangerous thing in this biome
and we are going to see who can stay or who will freeze up and loose.
• Now they are going to be faced with shelter problems and we are giving
them some things to bring with them.
 Shelter:

• Shelter is a big thing in this Biome and probably the most important in any
biome other than heat.
• The main spots with be caves in the mountains or the tall trees.
• Now they could also make igloos and live in there.
 Tools they would take:

• Fire starter
• Tarp
• Sleeping bags
• Water filter
• Pot
• Machete
• Small shovel
 Tools they would take:

• First aid kit

• Flashlight of solar battery
• Water proof matches
• Peanut butter
• Snares
• Whistle
 Dangers:

• During this show there are many dangers in this such as bears.
• With the bears the plan is to have the whistle to scare it away or use the
machete to kill it then eat it.
• Since there is snow you can use the snow to keep it good for a longer period
of time.
 Final Challenge:

• Not destroying the biome is a big part In this.

• Meaning not making animals go instinct or
killing endangers species or ruining trees.
• You will just have to wait to see what happens
next time on Survival.
