Are the methods of survival shown in National Geographic TV show Do Or Die based on expert advice and applicable in real life?

I think it's highly likely their techniques are applicable in real life but still want to confirm that.

    This might be too broad. Some techniques might be more real than others.

The credits for the show indicate that they had a team of five researchers. Their duties (according to the biography of one of these researchers, Shane Roberts, included "finding experts to verify facts and approve script".

Although I strongly to suspect that a large proportion of the script writing came from reading news articles about the various incidents featured in the show, this indicates that they did speak to real world experts to get elements of the scripts approved before broadcast.

Found requested footage, pitch segment ideas, prepare fact sheets, assist with clearances, assist editors, find experts to verify facts and approve scripts, work with National Geographic S&P for final approval and fact checking scripts, produced content for international cuts.
