Contrary to the title of the reality show, Justin Tuell was not afraid to go without much food for three weeks while competing on “Naked and Afraid.” He was not afraid of snakes or bugs or whatever else the Nicaraguan jungle could toss at him. He was not afraid of being outside, in the heat or the rain or at night.
But he was fairly nervous — even, yes, afraid — about being naked.
Tuell, a 31-year-old nurse at North Colorado Medical Center, is someone you’d want on your side when there’s some sort of apocalypse, whether itap zombies or the flu or a nuclear exchange after President Trump sends one too many offensive tweets to North Korea.
He will spend up to two weeks hiking 100 miles per week in the mountains with a lighter, a machete, a tent and sleeping bag and an axe while he hunts for elk with a bow. He does not bring much food or water. He prefers to live off the land. This is what he does for fun.
