Dingo - maybe you could give us Yanks a short summary of the story since it won't work for us on this side of the pond.

[Steve Herschbach]

It is an episode from an Animal planet series I Shouldn't Be Alive at http://store.discovery.com/detail.php?p=290252&pa=sli which is why we can't see the episode here presumably.

Synopsis:

Lost in the Outback

Amateur Treasure Hunter Theo is searching for gold in the vast Australian Outback. On his first vacation since life saving heart surgery, he takes a wrong turn, sending him into no mans land. Lost in the wilderness, he walks further and further away from safety, and the searchers who are desperate to find him before the dingoes make their move. In temperatures in excess of 100 degrees, without food, water or his vital medication, Theo faces the biggest battle of his life, a battle to stay alive.

Not doubt instructional although hard to get in real trouble with a camera crew following you around!

That was a series based on true events.
