Capture is an American reality competition television series on The CW that is hosted by Luke Tipple and premiered on July 30, 2013.
[3][4] The competition lasts for a month, and the teams, while still in the game, reside in a small camp named the Village and given meager food and rations, and otherwise forced to rely on survival skills for other resources.
Over the course of these two days, the Hunt team stays at the Lodge, a special part of the camp with better shelter and improved provisions.
The Talon is only active for a few minutes after which the Hunt team must wait for some time before they can attempt capture again.
Capture was filmed in an area of wilderness just northeast of Shaver Lake in eastern California (37°08′26″N 119°15′47″W / 37.14056°N 119.26306°W / 37.14056; -119.26306).
[5] The terrain is mostly dry, wooded, and hilly and located around 6,000 ft above sea level, making breathing difficult.
Environmental conditions play a factor in gameplay, as players must tolerate near-freezing temperatures at night while sleeping in basic bunks, blankets, and tarps; the occasional rain or hailstorm; and other elements of wilderness survival.
Capture uses the NinjaTel Van to provide wireless network connectivity to the remote wilderness area.
