extract Fox is a groundbreaking survival competition that puts contestants to the limit while still prioritizing behind-the-scenes security.
The upcoming series debuts Monday, February 10, following a dozen untrained competitors facing extreme conditions in the Canadian wilderness. The contestants’ families watch them live, and can decide whether their loved ones can stay in the competition or should be removed for their own safety.
In with US Weeklysurvival consultant and adventurer Megan Hine Open about the work done behind the scenes. Hine specifically breaks her role as extraction supervisor.
“I put the survivor on the terrain and then stand there. I can access all the cameras, watch and see who might be extracted. Then, when the family presses the extracted button, we have to act very quickly. ” Hine explained. “I had to go in and kick them out, which was logically very challenging for the survivalist’s position in the environment.”
Hine has physical and psychological factors to consider.
“The survivalists didn’t know they would be extracted. They didn’t have a communication with their families back to headquarters,” she continued. “So, they don’t know that they will be extracted. They don’t know that family members will press the button. The first thing they may realize is the sound of the helicopter.”

“From a basic perspective, we like to watch others suffer. It makes us feel better, but it can be addictive,” she quipped. “I’m fascinated by the psychology of survival and the physical behavior of survival.

Are boundaries created so as not to push contestants too far?
Hine discusses the conversation that always happens for the well-being of each contestant and tells us“The whole premise is that we are working with an actor who has very little outdoor and survival experience. There is an element of caution obligation. From my safety parts, this is what I have been doing on shows like this 20 Years of work behind the scenes. There are symptoms and symptoms, you’ve been paying attention.”
She continued: “It’s so advanced that we’re live streaming. I can check any point of view of anyone and they’re wearing a watch to upload their biometric data so I can check their bodies Health. We’ve been following them all the time, just making sure we push them to the limits – but that’s not fatal.”

Where did external factors produce not reach?
“In the exhibition, it’s groundbreaking technology, and homes at headquarters can use cameras all day so they can check their survivalists,” Hine shared. “We encountered these robotic cameras in the fields, which are hanging from the cameras,” Hine shared. In trees or roaming, they can check it out.”
Hine praised the devices for allowing them to be prepared.
“All the technology is fine-tuned when the weather changes. It also has to be able to handle cold and wet sometimes, too. “We go from very warm to snow and stuff because of the seasons. ”
Is there any problem?
“Absolutely. Although families have to make a decision on whether their survivalists are extracted from the environment, it is clear that our survivalists are in a very real state,” she admits. It was very cold, windy and wet. You suffer from hypothermia – this is one of the biggest threats there. ”
Hine adds: “To some extent, the blood starts leaving your brain and into your core cognitive function. Your brain starts to turn off and we see people start making weird decisions. We’re also always looking for this so we know where they are just in case we need to get in.”
What protections have been taken?
Despite the cruel conditions, production is always aware of what is going on in case they need to break the fourth wall.
“The contestants leave as much equipment as possible to their own,” Hine said. “We always have psychologists in the background just in case. It’s always a requirement, and it’s a duty of care. But the actors Realize what they have registered and they are playing games there.”
From extract It is to show the contestants their manufacturing.
“It’s all about resilience and the power of adventure. Afterwards, when I talk to the actors, they might be worried about how they are on the screen or what they do. But [I suggest they] Forgot all of this,” she shared. “They were really there for weeks because they lived in berries, drank lake water, and had no sleeping bags. They survived. That’s a serious bad guy. ”
Hine added: “It makes everything blend. I think it’s very capable to start from it, and you can spend a lot of time alone, too. It’s building resilience, and then teamwork. This dynamic often brings people closer.”
Why Canada?
extract With 12 untrained competitors from the United States, how did they end up entering the Canadian wilderness?
“When you look for a location for a show like this, you’re looking for places where you can allow for survival activities. We want to fire, and we want to be able to hunt,” Hine explained. “The wilderness in Canada is so huge, there are some ways to work there, and it’s hard to shoot a show like this in other places like the American National Park.”
She continued: “Because you can’t fire, you certainly can’t hunt wildlife. These are all things that happen behind the scenes. All this logistics and preparation and things that have to be considered.”
Participants know what their performance is?
“These people have little experience, but they are able to improvise. What makes them a good survivalist is people who can draw skills or experience from other ways of living,” Hine notes. “[It is important to] Able to think outside the box. But of course, in advance – if you know you’re going to be cast for something like this, take yourself out and feel what it’s actually like in that environment. ”
When reflecting on your own experience, Hine suggests some skills worth learning, such as extract.
“The U.S. military has a one-third rule. This means no air for three minutes, no shelter for three hours, no water for three days and no food for three weeks. Obviously, it’s a huge overview, but the essence of this It’s how long your body can take without these things.” us. “So you’ve just been sent into this wilderness environment. How do you shelter yourself? The night is coming and it’s getting dark. There’s wildlife and rain clouds out there. You have to use resources on the terrain.”
