The Truth About EJ Snyder From Naked And Afraid XL

Posted by Arica Deslauriers on Wednesday, May 22, 2024

It's tough to talk about being tough in challenging circumstances, tougher to demonstrate survival skills in challenging circumstances. The fact that EJ Snyder seems to have covered it all comes from his background.

EJ's Discovery profile reveals that he joined the U.S. army at the age of 19. He served in the military for 25 years, which sharpened his survival skills — little may he have known that they'd come in handy when he shows them off (perhaps with the same sharpness) years later on a TV show.

He learned how to camp, hunt, trap animals, hike, raft, and rock climb — everything that's needed to stay alive outdoors under unfavorable circumstances. He could even ward off bears — as his shown in Naked and Afraid. For EJ, survival became an obsession. He was eager to learn the different aspects of it.

The years of learning and trying paid off. EJ retired with the rank of a Sergeant Major and continued his work as a survivalist, eventually finding his way to television.
