I'll be using this post to highlight and document specific research I have undertaken or plan to.
Film
- Shackleton [Tells the story of Shackleton's 1914 expedition to the South Pole, including the hardships of him and his crew when stranded in the frozen wastes of the Antarctic.]
Television
- Lost [A group of crash survivors are stranded on an island with little food and only the remains of the aircraft and baggage to survive with.]
Books
- The Story of Shackleton's last expedition.
Games
- S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Shadow of Chernobyl [Uses Radiation Poisoning as part of game-play to hinder the player, eventually killing them, unless they seek medical assistance.]
- Fallout: New Vegas [Introduces the need for the player character to eat, drink, and sleep in regular intervals, suffering increasingly severe statistic penalties and eventually death if their needs are not met.]
- DayZ (an ARMA 2 modification) [In this survival modification, the player has an indicator of body temperature; exposure to rain, snow or water in the cold environment of Chernarus will render the player unable to see properly or move quickly until they find a source of heat.]
- Hypothermia [This is an Indie game, produced by Jacob Albano. The game is time limited, the more time you spend outdoors, the colder you get. The aim of the game is to find a key to a building and light a fire, stopping yourself from "sleeping".]
Documentary
- Surviving Hypothermia: Part 1 & 2 [YouTube documentary by the Backwoodsman's Institute in which a professional called Scott puts his own life in danger by demonstrating how to survive Hypothermia.]
