Natl Geographic: Show Pits Man Against Alaska

Sometimes I catch myself wishin' I had regular t.v, but I'm sure I can find bootlegged episodes eventually. This should be cool.

"Ultimate Survival Alaska" premieres Sunday (10 p.m. EST) on the National Geographic Channel.

"We took eight of the toughest outdoorsmen in Alaska and actually did something that was true to the nature of National Geographic," Seavey said. "Anybody who appreciates the outdoors is going to enjoy the show."

In each episode, the eight participants are taken by plane or helicopter to a different part of Alaska. They must find their way to a pre-arranged landing zone within three days, fighting the harshest elements the state puts in their way, from bears, mountains and raging rivers to guiding their way along a glacier. Spoiler alert: It's not easy.
