In the first episode of the seventh season of I Survived, viewers are introduced to three survivors: John, Kevin, and Helena. Each of their stories is unique and showcases the strength of the human spirit in the face of extreme adversity.
John's story begins with him and his teammate on a kayaking trip in the wilderness of Alaska. As they paddled through the rough waters, their kayak overturned, throwing them both into the icy water. With no cell service and no one around for miles, John faced the daunting task of surviving in the wilderness with just the clothes on his back. He fought against hunger, hypothermia, and the constant threat of predators as he made his way back to civilization.
Meanwhile, Kevin's story takes place on a sunny day in Florida, where he was working as a construction worker. While on the job, he accidentally touched a live electrical wire, sending thousands of volts of electricity coursing through his body. Miraculously, he survived the initial shock, but was left with severe burn injuries and a long road to recovery. Despite the odds against him, Kevin refused to give up and fought his way back to health and happiness.
Finally, Helena's story takes place in the remote wilderness of Montana, where she and her husband were on a camping trip when they were suddenly attacked by a grizzly bear. The bear killed her husband and left Helena with life-threatening injuries, including a punctured lung and severe lacerations. With no medical assistance nearby, Helena was forced to rely on her own survival instincts to make it through each day. She fought against infection, dehydration, and the constant threat of another bear attack as she struggled to make her way back to civilization.
In each of these extraordinary stories, the survivors face incredible challenges and come out on the other side with a newfound appreciation for life. I Survived offers an intimate look into the lives of those who have faced the unthinkable and emerged stronger for it. Viewers will be gripped by the courage and resilience of these survivors as they share their stories of survival and hope.
