Long Shot Leaders with Michael Stein Her courageous decision to participate in the survival TV show "Naked and Afraid" demonstrates her toughness and adaptability, Stacey Osorio.
Stacey Osorio hails from Southern California but moved to Idaho with her family. Her father's business encountered financial struggles, prompting their relocation. Her mother, a dedicated graphic designer, worked hard to support the family. Stacey's upbringing revolved around embracing outdoor pursuits such as gold panning, hunting for rattlesnakes, and camping adventures with her father.
Her involvement in the TV show "Naked and Afraid" came about when Discovery Channel reached out to her workplace seeking participants. Viewing it as a chance to earn money, she enthusiastically applied. To prepare, Stacey extensively studied survival techniques and eagerly volunteered for the show. Her initial stint took place in Eastern Croatia, where a burn injury on day six forced her to exit despite her determination to persevere.
Undeterred, she later took part in another episode set in South Africa's Quazulu Natal during a harsh drought. Survival became a daily challenge as food and water became scarce. Their means of sustenance included catching catfish and ingeniously managing limited resources. Facing the challenge of nudity on the show, initially discomforted by the presence of clothed production crew members, Stacey eventually adapted. She observed that the participants' shared concern for each other's safety and success eclipsed any initial awkwardness about nudity.
