About this episode
You know those survival myths that sound all badass but might just get you into more trouble? Like the whole "swim parallel to shore" deal when caught in a rip current? Well, turns out, sometimes it's better to conserve your energy and float until the current weakens. And punching a shark in the nose? Sure, sounds tough, but it's not always the best move. Maintaining eye contact and slowly backing away might be safer. And starting a fire by rubbing two sticks together? Unless you're a survival pro with ideal conditions, you might want to explore other options for staying warm and roasting marshmallows.
