The winner of Survivor Gabon is Robert Bob Crowley, a pretty impressive title for a 57-year-old physics teacher! He's actually the oldest ever contestant to win the show, which had him walk away with one million dollars!
In honor of Bob Crowley's Survivor Gabon win, I've put together a list of innovations I can image would take the edge of being plunked into the wilderness of Africa. The cluster includes everything from wind-up shavers to a sardine can of emergency must-haves.
