Darrin Reay joins Steven Kelly on The Survival Debrief for a raw conversation about Naked and Afraid, winning Last One Standing and the reality behind survival television.

With 115 days on Naked and Afraid and a Last One Standing victory behind him, Darrin talks about what made the difference, why Matt Wright was his biggest threat, the medical tap that ended an earlier challenge and how that experience changed the way he competed.

He also opens up about his clashes with Steven Lee Hall Jr., the brutal conditions on previous challenges, surviving extreme heat and lions, primitive survival skills, Shipwrecked and what viewers never got to see on TV.

Darrin also reveals whether he would accept another Naked and Afraid challenge tomorrow and shares his advice for anyone wanting to become more capable outdoors.

A must-listen for fans of Naked and Afraid, Last One Standing, primitive survival and behind-the-scenes survival TV.

Hosted by Steven Kelly, British TV survivalist, former 29 Commando Regiment soldier and founder of South West Survival.

Survival is about far more than building shelters and lighting fires.

In this episode of The Survival Debrief, Steven Kelly sits down with Megan Hine, survival consultant, wilderness guide, expedition leader and TV producer with more than 20 years in the outdoor industry. Megan explains how she went from outdoor instruction and expedition work to spending 13 years travelling the world as part of the team behind Bear Grylls productions.

Steven and Megan discuss:

• The difference between bushcraft skills and a genuine survival mindset
• How fear, adrenaline and the fight, flight or freeze response affect decision-making
• What it was really like working behind the scenes with Bear Grylls
• How survival TV productions manage risk and keep crews safe
• Where survival television can educate viewers and where it can create dangerous misconceptions
• Why mindset, adaptability and staying calm can matter more than technical skills
• What extreme environments have taught Megan about human behaviour
• Megan's advice for anyone wanting to start spending more time outdoors

A proper conversation about survival, psychology, expedition leadership, Bear Grylls and the reality behind adventure television.
