This week on Dead or Survive, Cheryl shares the haunting and heroic tale of Ada Blackjack, the seamstress who was never meant to be a survivor. Hired to cook and sew for a small expedition on remote Wrangel Island, Ada found herself alone in the Arctic wilderness after the men around her disappeared or perished. With only a cat named Vic for company, Ada battled starvation, extreme cold, and her own fear of polar bears — emerging nearly two years later as the sole survivor, wrapped in furs she made herself.

Then Rob serves up a fresh plate of instant karma, with Darwin Award winners who tempted fate — and fate responded quickly. From gun mishaps to clumsy revenge plots, this one’s got irony with a side of "what were they thinking?"

🧊 Stranded on ice.

⚰️ Gone without a trace.

🎧 One woman’s triumph — and a few people’s spectacular fails.
