PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Coffee Club Pure Vitamin Club Villa Cappelli F Bomb Crowd Cow EVA RUPERT She and Vinnie met through Ross and Kara - owners of the F Bomb product that both Vinnie and Eva love Eva was a participant on Naked and Afraid Spent three weeks naked, on national television Dropped in the middle of nowhere with stuff to make a fire, and that's about it Film them basically to watch how they survive A true survival test The camera crew genuinely gives them nothing Watching you starve and watching how you deal with this survival process They were respectful about eating/drinking around the two adventurers Didn't get too uncomfortable with being naked in front of all of these people Just felt primal Crazy facing the elements in the nude Learned lots of survival skills prior to going on the show - especially regarding living more primally Now when we are in nature, we are like astronauts walking on the moon in our space suits With a guy from Idaho in Madagascar - she has a knife, he has a fire starter He had a good head on his shoulders Down to earth and in it to make it to day 21 Checklist: shelter, fire, food Started her interest in survival skills in her early 20s with rock climbing in a gym in NYC Vinnie used to love rock climbing Shows like this are so popular because they're so foreign to people But it's weird that people would rather watch this on their couches than actually connecting with nature themselves We should all be able to adapt outside of our comfort zones
