I have seen many of your survival shows and have also seen the shows where you take unwitting celebrities into potentially hostile conditions. After watching you scale the fabulous Matterhorn foothills with Miranda Hart, I got hit with a sudden wave of inspiration. An idea which I was surprised you and your production team hadn't investigated before.
The idea is simple, a show/series in which you use members of the public, with no previous experience of survival, and put them into challenging situations. This could be a one on one with you or could be a small group of people who you train in the basics, and they then have to spend a certain amount of time surviving together in the wilderness under your watch.
As an avid watcher of your Man vs. Wild shows, I personally think this would make an extremely entertaining and enlightening show which would appeal to millions of people. Also, as this is technically my idea, I believe that I should be the first person with which you try this new show structure.
I truly believe that I would be able to bring my loveable and bubbly personality to the screen to enable the pilot show to succeed on an international scale. I have many of the desirable characteristics needed for survival, I am in a mild state of fitness, I will eat almost anything (as long as its been cooked properly and doesn't look strange), I can sleep anywhere including Travel Lodge.
Another good quality I have is that I have all the equipment already. My current state of survival pack includes;
Backpack - Brand new from Argos £9.99 in the sale
Water Bottle - Slight Crack but still usable
Walking Shoes - Reebok Classics
A Big Coat - Found somewhere
Strong Trousers - Army Print from Cadets
Spare Shoe Laces - Wilkinsons own brand
As far as destinations are concerned, I think somewhere like the Caribbean, Australia, Spain or even Portugal would be suitable as they offer remote looking filming locations near to 5* accommodation which I think is perfect for this type of trip.

P.S - If you need a new backpack I can get you one from my local Argos as long as you reply soon
