Jeff Zausch is a born survivalist; from the tender age of nine, he’s been testing the limits of his environment and his body in all sorts of outdoor survival situations. Perhaps one of his most adventurous (and certainly most public) has been his time on “Naked and Afraid” and “Naked and Afraid XL.” The show pits survivalists in extreme situations and leaves them for 21 and 40 days, respectively. The catch? They’re totally naked.

Rachel Woodall chats with Jeff about his background, his motivations, and his time with “Naked and Afraid.”
