Series 1

Ed is flown into the Canadian wilderness. As the plane disappears, he's instantly overwhelmed by the realisation that he is completely alone. He finds it hard to make decisions, but manages to set up camp. He's frightened and nervous of every sound and movement around him. As the days go by, it dawns on Ed that the escapist dream is a lot harder than he ever imagined.

The anxiety and stress of Ed's first month in the Yukon are beginning to take their toll. The vast loneliness of the landscape and lack of human contact have left him feeling emotionally numb. He's struggling to find food and Ed decides the only way to get back on track is to move on.

Adventurer Ed Wardle is finding the extreme solitude of the Yukon wilderness almost too much to bear, and the struggle to find food has become painfully frustrating.
