Season 15 of ‘Naked and Afraid’ was partially filmed in northern New Mexico and South America.

According to KRQE, Naked and Afraid producers decided to take part in Season 15 on the west coast — in particular, New Mexico. The season premiere shines a light on a survival mission in rural San Miguel County’s Sabinoso region, which is located an hour away from Las Vegas.

According to the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management, the Sabinoso wilderness region consists of “a series of high, narrow mesas surrounded by cliff-lined canyons” located in “a remote area in the “northeastern portion of New Mexico.”

Additionally, the Sabinoso region is said to have a “deep canyon area, surrounded by the wide-open New Mexico plains,” which is unique for the region.

Many folks are talking about Kami Elsisie, a paramedic from New Mexico who is ready to showcase her ability to adapt and survive under questionable circumstances.

In Season 15, Kami and her partner, Justin Governale, were tasked with surviving Guyana. Per Country Reports, Guyana is known for having remote forests, flat swampy terrain, mountainous areas, rolling highlands, and a low coastal plain.

“Going on Naked and Afraid, it was something I wasn’t going to turn down,” Kami told the Albuquerque Journal. “It’s a challenge. You have to adapt to your surroundings and you live with someone you just barely met. It pushes you out of your comfort zone.”

Interestingly, Kami shared that while she’s not game for dealing with Guyana’s climate and pesky mosquitos again, the experience was eye-opening.

“Would I want to go back to the jungle and get tens of thousands of bug bites,” she asks. “No. But I would go back and experience something like this again. There were highs and lows and a lot I learned about myself.”
