This week on Dead or Survive, Cheryl dives into the wildest Amazon jungle survival story you’ll ever hear — the tale of Yossi Ghinsberg, a backpacker whose dream adventure turned into a real-life nightmare. Left completely alone in the rainforest for weeks, Yossi faced jaguar attacks, quicksand, botflies burrowing in his skin, starvation, and hallucinations — all while questioning whether the man who led him into the jungle was just a con artist... or something far worse.
Then Rob charges into the new millennium with the first official Y2K-era Darwin Award — featuring a man, a power pole, and a stunning misunderstanding of how electricity works. You’d think basic physics would be a survival instinct, but nope.
🌿 Alone in the Amazon.
⚡ Death by electrocution.
🎒 One man’s fight to live, and another’s short circuit to disaster.
