Episode 1It's a scorcher in Death Valley as Nick takes to the adrenaline-pumping sport of sand buggy driving on Dumont Dunes, speeding up and down the vast sand hills. His companion, expert buggy driver Shane Trittler, is shocked but admires Nick's daredevilry. Nick wants to see for himself how hard it is to survive here. He meets up with survival expert Tom Coyne who once trekked 135 miles across Death Valley in summer, carrying no food or water. He shows Nick how to forage for food and find water, and how to make fire with a bowie knife, string and two pieces of wood, a notoriously tough task – is Nick up to the challenge? - Episode 2E2
Episode 2Nick travels from the golden dunes at the southern tip of Death Valley, through the barren salt flat of Badwater Basin to the best-preserved ghost town, Rhyolite, in the north, ending up at Death Valley Junction – for a night at the opera! One of Death Valley's most dangerous residents is the rattlesnake.
