Staying Alive: Finding a Survival Pattern with Dave MacDonald, International Canadian School of Survival

This summer, four children survived an airplane crash in the Amazonian jungle. The story captured the interest of the world as these kids managed to navigate 40 days alone in a hostile environment alone.  

Have you ever wondered how you would fare if you suddenly found yourself in a catastrophic situation that only you could fight your way free from?

Dave MacDonald, Royal Canadian Air Force veteran and founder of the International Canadian School of Survival demonstrates for us a survival pattern that can be applied in any emergency situation.

Listen in as Harris and Walker tell tall tales of survival and learn how to stay alive.
