In each episode, Cody and Dave are placed in a common survival situation such as marooned sailors, lost hikers, trapped divers, and stranded mountain climbers. They then have to survive for a few days with only the gear that a person who found themselves in that scenario would have.[6] Along the way, they demonstrate how to survive off of the land and make gear they need to survive.
Conflict often arises due to the differences in Cody's and Dave's survival methods. Cody, who does not wear shoes,[7] often slows down the team when they are navigating through tough terrain. Dave often tries dangerous methods of gathering food and advancing towards rescue such as reaching into a beehive for honey and rappelling over a ledge to save time.
