Ultimate Survival Alaska

Premise
The series focuses on survivalist men and women who are dropped off in the Alaskan wilderness where they compete with each other in various wilderness races. The survivalist are dropped off by aircraft where they compete in races through Alaska's unpredictable weather, barren landscapes and hostile predators.

Critical Reception
David Hinckley of the Daily News gave the second season a satisfactory review saying: "things do look consistently harsh and cold, which should satisfy most people would watch a show about Alaska. The only thing that really looked warm is that big old bear in the brown coat and he doesn't look like he's interested in sharing any of the insulation.

Controversy
The series has been accused of being staged. Craig Medrid of Alaska Dispatch called the series: "the most unreal of reality shows. National Geographic Channel has taken fictional reality, or real fiction, or whatever you call this 21st-Century blend of true and phony, to places the founders of the National Geographic Society could never imagine".
