Even today stories of wilderness survival are extremely popular. Why do you think this is? What is it about wilderness survival that keeps audiences coming back for more

Answer and explanation:

I believe wilderness survival stories speak to all humans in a very basic, instinctive level. We enjoy the human struggle in the man vs. nature conflict. It may be because it reminds us that we only have such a comfortable life today because humankind was able to learn, survive, and develop in and against nature. It may also very well be that we like to think of ourselves as the heroes, the main characters. Would we be defeated or would we survive the great forces of this world? There is something inspirational in the overcoming of adversities that cannot be solved with money, social status, or influence of any kind. It is more exciting when nature makes a man a man - not a successful businessperson, not a detective, not a bank robber. Just a human being who has to use his intelligence and instincts to survive.
