Adrenalin-Pumping Reality Show Highlights Surveillance Technologies
Surveillance technologies get showcased in “Off the Grid: Million Dollar Manhunt,” a one-hour special for The HISTORY Channel airing December 8 at 10:00 p.m. All the chase scenes, zooming cameras, and surveillance that could be dismissed as “stuff of movies” are brought from the movies into real life in this reality television show.
The show is described as an action adventure competition show centered in Los Angeles featuring two everyday individuals (Dan, an environmental consultant, and his friend, Scott, a beer truck driver)racing against the clock to evade a highly trained team of urban trackers led by host and master tracker, Kevin Reeve, whose company, onPoint Tactical, LLC, offers a scouting, tracking and wilderness survival skills course that has been taken by elite military units from all major branches of the U.S. military (SEALs, Rangers, Force Recon, SERE, etc.), as well as major federal and state law enforcement units (FBI, Secret Service, U.S. Marshals, etc.). That’s some hard-core tracking the two contestants are up against, especially since they are armed withnothing but their wits, a cell phone (I’d completely ditch that first), and a credit card (I’d ditch that a nano second later).
