Orbit Wild (203): survival and adventure

Status: agreed with Paul 3 November 2026, configured in 0.89.0 (ChannelIdentities.kt), awaiting his OK to install.

Identity: people meeting nature and surviving it: presenters, expeditions, danger, endurance. Test against Terra: if the animals and places are the story, it belongs on Terra.

History: Animal Planet UK and similar channels inspire the feel; no source page was found, so this is style only.

Core: Man vs. Wild, Running Wild with Bear Grylls, Survivorman, Dual Survival, Naked and Afraid, Alone, Survival with Ray Mears, Bear Grylls: Mission Survive, The Crocodile Hunter, River Monsters.

Supporting: Wild Things with Dominic Monaghan, Shark Week, Whale Wars, Wild Frank, Running Wild with Bear Grylls: The Challenge, Expedition Tiger, Into the Wild Frontier, and the frontier and dangerous-jobs shows: Deadliest Catch, Ice Road Truckers, Swamp People, Ax Men, Lone Star Law, Life Below Zero, Mountain Men.

Surprise: Dirty Jobs, late on Saturday only.

Time of day: 06:00 to 18:00 encounters and survival. 18:00 to 22:00 survival, with The Crocodile Hunter and River Monsters. 22:00 to 06:00 frontier and dangerous jobs; on Saturday Dirty Jobs joins them.

Order: episodic shows mix. Alone, Expedition Tiger and Running Wild: The Challenge run in order.

Not added: Bear Grylls Wild Adventure (an interactive special), Deadly 60 (a children's show), Gold Rush (mining, not wilderness). Crocodile Hunter Diaries, Monster Fish and Dangerous Encounters aren't in the library; their names stay on the list.

New arrivals: survival, expeditions, animal encounters with presenters, and life on the frontier.
