This week on Dead or Survive, Cheryl shares the unbelievable survival story of Mauro Prosperi. While competing in the grueling Marathon des Sables, Mauro became disoriented during a sandstorm and veered over 180 miles off course into the heart of the Sahara Desert. With no help in sight, he resorted to drinking his own urine, eating bats, and relying on sheer willpower to stay alive. His story is one of endurance, desperation, and brutal beauty.
Then Rob whisks us off to Russia with a few tales that make you ask, why? From a man who thought he could stop trains with his mind to a thief who seriously underestimated a group of angry pensioners — it’s Darwin Award mayhem with a cold vodka twist.
