This program me contains scenes of
nudity and strong language

Oh. Ow, oh, there's berries.

Just going to have a little munch.

Hang on, hang on, hang on.

Looks like bear scat. That's fresh.

I'm completely butt-naked
in the forest

and I see what looks like
bear scat.

I feel like I'm losing my mind.

Going into the unknown.

11 ordinary men and women are about
to be abandoned on their own...

Oh, it's just crazy, isn't it?
Look at it, it's enormous.

...in one of the most hostile places
on Earth.

The bears, the water, the wolves.

If you're going into this and not
thinking it's dangerous,

then you're in denial.

I'm in awe of the landscape,

and I'm not sure you can ever
really be ready.

Without anyone to help them,

they must each film their own
struggle to survive.

It's going to be extremely painful.

Anything other than that is a bonus.

Whoever lasts longest,
will win £100,000.

This is the biggest adventure.

I want to thrive
and not just survive.

This will be the hardest thing
I've ever done.

I want to see what I'm made of.

Ah!

I feel like I'm going bat shit crazy.

HE CHANTS

Mother Nature has chewed me up
and spat me out.

I'm terrified about being
on my own.

There is something right outside
my shelter.

Go away!

Oh, my God. It's back.

It is beautiful but,
like all proper nature,

it will kill you if you let it.

Argh!

The dehydration, the starvation...

...and the idiocy.

Ah! Ah! Ah!

Ooh!

Battling the elements...

It's getting really cold.

Oh, my God.

...and the predators...

Oh, my God!

Argh!

...who has what it takes...

When it counts. Ooh!

...to survive the longest?

ECHOING: I'm alone!

On the fringes of the Arctic Circle,

in an area of Canadian wilderness

four times the size of the UK,

the competition begins.

Chaps, advisory - Mike X-ray,
westbound, Mackenzie River.

Copy you.

I'm getting scared.

This is a very strange feeling.

Oh, my God, it's terrifying,

just knowing at any minute
I'm getting dropped and left.

CAMERA BEEPS

Good luck.

This is nuts.

Ah!

With no crew...
Oh, my gosh.

...from this point onwards,
filming is up to them.

Wow.

It's real, man.

It's absolutely mental.

Can't believe I'm doing this.

Oh, my goodness.

There they go.

Oh, my God.

Oh, shit.

Yeah.

Bye, people.

HE EXHALES HEAVILY

They've been dropped miles apart,

along the banks of
the Mackenzie River.

CAMERA BEEPS

This is just mental, man.

Just think about this, though,
just think about it.

You've just been dropped
in the wilderness.

Everybody's gone.

You've got ten survival items,

and you've got no food.

A little bit of panic's
kind of kicked in.

Yeah.

First and foremost, I've got to
think about my survival priorities.

I've got to think of shelter,
fire, water, food.

So, yeah,
I don't want to waste any time.

I'm feeling a little sick
from the nerves.

Now I'm here,
I realise it's a bit epic

and intimidating to be here.

Erm...

CAMERA BEEPS
OK.

Oh, my God.

That's a big print.

Looks kind of like bear prints.
Maybe a small bear.

Mm-mm. Stay away, bears.

WHISPERS: What the fuck?

HIGH-PITCHED RINGING

Holy fuck, holy fuck.

There's a bear.

Oh, I'm shaking.

Oh, my God, oh, my God.

I'm pretty fucking scared,
to be honest.

Please, move away.

Aye, aye, aye!

Really shaken me.

I did not want to see
a bear out here at all.

Not here when I'm out here
on my own.

Ah!

The Northwest Territories is home
to over 3,000 bears...

THEY ROAR

...as well as moose,

cougars,

and wolves.

Oh, my gosh, I must be crazy.

It's impossible
to sum up what...this feels like.

Trying not to think about what's
in the woods behind me.

I'm just, no,
don't want to think about it yet.

Plan of action. I need to go find
a spot, don't I?

I need to find somewhere to
call home.

CAMERA BEEPS

OK, I'm going to go this way.

I don't want to go too far.

I get lost around Tesco.

I'd like to set up
a temporary camp

relatively close
to my drop spot,

just to get settled tonight.

Ah!

Oh, my goodness.

Ooh...

That's not human.

There are definitely signs
of tracks.

Ooh, that's something else as
well. Oh.

There's a lot. There's
a lot on this island with me.

SHE EXHALES HEAVILY

This, by far, will be
the most craziest thing

I've ever done in my life.

I am a girl who works in fashion,

and I am a mum.

But there are a lot of layers to me.

I'm ballsy,
ready to take on anything.

I grew up being outdoors
all the time,

and I think you can be
the girlie girl

or the girl that loves to dance,

but you can also be the girl who
wants to roll around in the mud.

It's OK to be both women.

OK.

People are
going to have their judgments.

They're going to think "Oh, gosh,
she'll last two days",

but I think I've got
the drive to win.

SINGS: Already hearing noises.

GRUNTING

BIRDS CALL

Fuck...

This is so thick.

In preparation,

everyone has undergone
a nine-day training course

to help them survive this
unique environment.

It's a lot thicker than I expected.

And spikier.

Yeah.

It's crazy.

What was that noise?

Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.

I have my hatchet ready.

I do not want to see
a bear right now.

WINGS BEAT OVERHEAD
Oh!

Oh, my God.

OK, I'm not really
thinking straight.

CAMERA BEEPS

Fuck. Ow.

Ow. You know, when you think
Canada, you think of like,

this like crisp lake,

blue, like, fresh.

And it's not. It's...

It's brown and like sludgy.

I will definitely be boiling that
water before I drink it.

It's not safe. Fucking hell.

I'm a working-class guy from
the Wirral.

Everything I've got,
I've kind of earned,

and I'm proud of that.

This is something
I've always wanted to do

since I was a kid.

My best memories have usually been
when I'm doing something

a little bit dangerous.

But I've never left Europe before.

I've never been put in a position
where there's big animals

that could potentially kill me,

and I'm hoping just my natural
instinct will take over.

Yeah.

I'm sweating already.
All I've done is walked...

...100 metres through the bush,

and so far I've stabbed myself In
the legs multiple times

and poked myself in the eye.

FLY BUZZES

I'm on a little island,

and I've already seen bear prints.

It is Canada, after all, innit?

What was you expecting?

Like tom cats and Jack Russells?

I'm feeling surprisingly calm.

Let's hope we can maintain
that mental attitude.

I need a nice little open area

to sling the shelter up.

Let's do this.

After leaving school, the only thing
that kind of kept me focused

was working with my hands.

So, I became a joiner
and I loved it.

I just need a nice little area,

but, at the minute, there,

that's just thick and dense.

And part of my brain's also thinking

"I need an escape route."

If anything that's, er...

...that's bigger than me comes
to visit me...

...I need a route out, don't 1?

I think I've got enough about me
to deal with

the mental struggles that,
that will obviously be there.

30 years ago,
I was addicted to heroin.

It started with like amphetamines
and LSD,

and then moved on to heroin.

Getting clean wasn't
straightforward.

It's like waking up and somebody
saying, "Just stop breathing."

So, I think that
my experience of suffering

and getting through suffering

gives me a bit of an edge.

But I'm hoping that winning
the competition changes...

...it changes me life.

Right, this is the best spot
so far.

Let's build camp, man.

CAMERA BEEPS

Found...a good spot
for temporary shelter.

It's relatively flat.

There aren't too many signs
of tracks around here.

And I just want to get set up,
because I know I'm not alone.

Hopefully, I'll get
no visitors tonight,

but there are a lot of sounds.

SOFT GRUNTING

So I'm going to go
and get some water boiling,

cos I am thirsty.

Ooh!

Look at this.

Sign of moose.

That looks relatively fresh.

SHE GASPS

I can see it, I can see it.

It's a big'un.

Oh, my gosh.

I don't know if I'm excited
or frightened.

Slightly worrying.

OK.

Let's get...

SHE EXHALES HEAVILY

Just going to clear it, man.

Timber!

Shelter-building is
my most confident area.

I'm usually quite gung-ho
with stuff like that.

I just get on with it.

The competition,
it's not other people,

it's all about the location.

Going there will be
a constant battle

with the environment.

I know that I have got
what it takes.

Just going to take that tree down

that's creaking and cracking,

cos I don't want that killing me
in the middle of the night.

Ah!

I can't fucking believe it.

Fucking nailed myself.

HE BREATHES HEAVILY

Fucking hell.

Fucking hell, man,
it's bleeding now.

Ooh...

Just four hours since he
was dropped...

Er...

...Mike has suffered
a serious injury.

Fucking hit the side of me leg
with an axe,

and I know it needs stitches.

Absolutely gutted.

For emergencies, everyone has
a satellite phone.

Mike has been forced to call
for help.

Can't believe it, man.

I'm absolutely devastated.

Yeah. I've worked with tools
all me life.

Mike becomes the first person
to leave the competition.

This was just going to be
the start of summat different,

and it's just all collapsed.

Didn't even get a chance!

Didn't even get a chance.

Quite a lot of dark,
angry-looking clouds.

Just going to get my hasty shelter
put up straight away.

For the ten who remain,

there are only a few hours
of daylight left

to prepare for their first night.

I need to choose somewhere
that's sheltered

but doesn't put me right in
the middle of a bear trail.

It's not great.

They have each chosen ten
survival items,

and have all been given
a tarpaulin to help protect

from the environment and predators.

Uh-oh...

This is enormous.

Oh...

This is a total nightmare.

The thing that's in my mind

is me sleeping under
a thin plastic material

and then...a bear approaching
my area.

Just...don't know...how to do it.

QUAVERING: It looks so easy
when you see other people do it...

SHE SIGHS

That should do it.

That should do it.

Half a day in, builder Louie
is already ahead of the game.

I've got water, shelter and fire.

Next is food.

He's also the only person
to bring a bow and arrow

as one of his ten survival items.

I need to start hunting
straight away.

It's how I hope to win
the competition.

Man, this is ridiculous.

This is what I'm up against.

Everything depends on how well
I can hunt.

I just want to see some activity
of something.

See, this is better -
it's a bit more open.

Yeah, man, you can tell beavers
have been here. Look at that.

Might have the chance
of getting some beaver.

When you're from a single-parent
background where,

you know, money
just isn't available,

just kind of drives me, so,

yeah, I want to win.

I didn't have any confidence
growing up.

I was a skinny little boy,

and I don't know if it's
just being a man, but, yeah,

I do feel like
I've got something to prove,

and it's not for anyone else,
it's for myself.

I want to see what I'm made of,

and doing this calibre of challenge,

I just think will do wonders for me,
or completely crush me.

Fuck me, two ducks
in the water there.

Look how close they are to
the shore there.

Sneak attack.

Imagine that first dinner.

Crispy duck!

Come on, come on close.
Promise I won't bite.

WHISPERING: It's so hard to sneak up
on these ducks.

They're swimming the other way.
Little bastards.

That's my dinner,
it's just floating away.

DUCKS QUACK

Nice big deep breaths.

Those fucking ducks.

Fuck you.

As if, the head's came off.

HE GROANS

Fuck you.

I'm now down to eight arrows
and it's only day one.

Like, my whole survival depends on
how well I can use this bow.

Fuck sake.

Things are getting a little bit
serious as the sun's

properly setting now,
so I need to get a shelter up quick.

I don't want to be setting up
in the dark.

I cannot describe how huge
and how crazy this challenge is.

I've just turned 19,

this will be the first prolonged
time I've had away from my family.

I live a London life, I live a city
life and I'm the only person

that I know who has a
deep interest in bush craft.

This style camp is something
I've seen on the internet

for a long time
and I've wanted to do.

Double tripod C-Fly shelter.

Aged 13 and 14, I was reading
these survival books,

but under torchlight,
underneath the quilt.

Intending to win competition,

but I'm keenly aware
of my own inexperience.

HE GROANS

I just hit myself in the ball sack.
That hurts like a bitch.

The longest I've ever done alone in
semi wilderness before

was a couple of hours,
not for days, not for weeks.

Yeah...

I'm so thirsty...

...which is why I really need
this fire to work,

cos I can't just drink
the water from the river.

I need to boil water to drink,
cos I don't want to get sick.

Fire can also scare off predators.

I might be able to make a fire here,

but it's going to be really tricky.

I just want this to work.

Ugh...!

SHE SIGHS

Oh, my God...
If this doesn't work,

I'm totally screwed.

SHE EXHALES

Oh, my God...

Come on.

Whoa.

Come on...!

Oh, my God, that is so nuts!

How amazing is that?

It's magic.

Fire-e-e-e-e!

VOICE ECHOES

Oh, my God, I'm so relieved.

This is so much harder than
I thought it was going to be

and I don't know why.

Oh, my God.

Come on, come on, come on,
come on, please!

SHE EXCLAIMS

I've been trying for absolutely ages

and nothing's happening.

I think like the pressure of needing
it lit so badly is getting to me.

Fuck.

Feel a lot less sure about
this than this morning.

Really scared
about this first night,

desperately want to just hold on
to the light

cos I really, really don't want
to be here in the dark.

At night, bears and wolves
become more active.

I didn't think I was
going to get scared,

but I feel quite scared.

ANIMAL YOWLS

Didn't manage to get
the fire lit before it was dark.

Hopefully,
make it to the first morning.

ANIMAL BREATHES, RUSTLING

There are so many sounds.

My senses are already
being heightened.

There's, like, 1,000 noises
in London

and not one of them sound like this.

I don't know what the fuck that was.

Oh, I'm shaking.

There is something...right
outside my shelter.

ANIMAL PANTS

Fuck!

OK...

Hey! Go away!

CRACKING

Ohh, good morning.

YAWNS

Pretty grateful that
I've made it through the night.

The noises...

It was pretty scary.

This is my first morning

and I've got bites everywhere.

BUZZING

There are just so many mosquitoes.

I could hear the little fuckers
all night.

That water is so muddy.

I've boiled it, I've filtered it,

and it still looks like this.

I've got to drink something.

That is awful.

I genuinely thought
this was going to be easier.

How long's it been?

It's just day two.

OK...

OK.

Last night was by far the scariest
night of my life.

INSECT BUZZES

I've never been that
close to a bear before.

And I don't ever want to be.

It knows I'm here now,

so I've got to protect myself
and fast.

Building a more permanent structure,
made from wood...

OK.

...will offer greater protection.

So I am going for an A-frame.

I've just put up my main pole here,

I don't want it super high
because I get cold really easily,

and I think lower the better,
keep that heat in.

RUSTLING

WHISPERING: ..Some noise...

That was not human.

If I tap out, out of fear,
I'll regret that heavily

and that is something I'm
going to work on,

to just battle through those fears.

Oh, it takes forever.

This is going to
be such a long project.

That kind of works.

I'm nervous how much
the tarp's going to cover.

It's very wobbly.

How does that stay up, then?

No idea what I'm doing.

I read it all,
and I wrote it all down, but...

...I just don't know.

Have a little break.

Rest my mind for a minute.

I work in travel

doing PR and marketing.

My life's quite frantic,

most days I'm on the Tube,
8am, full of other people,

everyone's busy and by the end of
the day, you're so tense,

that I got to the point where
I was like I just can't, you know?

I can't really live like
this any more.

For me, the reason for doing this,

is that connection back with nature,

and that's what I'm really craving
now in my life, but it's extreme.

It's really extreme.

No...!

I don't think I'm cutting
the wood right,

and I don't think I've
got the right-sized pieces.

It's just really wobbly,
it's not standing upright,

I don't know how to make it secure,

so I think I'm going
to have to start again

and the idea of
that is just not that pleasant.

SHE LAUGHS

Hmm.

Oh, I feel hunger really kind
of getting at me.

Alan is prioritising food.

I'll go and forage
the crap out of the place.

I'm just going to start eating
the nasty stuff, see what happens.

I am a very competent forager.

I think I can provide
a fair few calories for myself.

As far as I know,
all pines are edible.

This is a pine tree,
this is its bark,

look here's the wood,
and this layer here

is the inner bark, the cambium,

the layer that transports all the
nutrients up and down the tree,

that you can eat.

I hear that it has calories in it.

Very strong piney taste.

Not enough to keep me going,

but I like the taste of pine.

Tastes like a toilet cleaner,

which I know is weird.

It's feeling like make-or-break
at the moment.

Eva still has no fire.

She's had nothing to drink
for more than 24 hours.

I'm really dehydrated, definitely.

I really, really need this
fire to get going

cos I just don't think I can last
another full night and day.

Right, come on, please work.

Argh...!

I want to see what my
actual capabilities are.

I have a genetic condition which
means every joint in my body

can dislocate or slide
out of place very easily.

Come on, get it together.

I've spent, like, 24 years
putting myself in a box

that means I've not pushed myself.

Being completely on your own,

relying only on yourself
for absolutely everything,

it's scary for sure.

Well, terrifying really.

Oh, my God I think it's catching!

Fire! Woohoo!

We're in business, baby.

Oh, my God. I literally
can't tell you how happy I am.

Oh-h-h! My God...

I was getting desperate.

SHE SIGHS

That's the first drink
I've had in 24 hours.

Ah, thank God.

This place is so bittersweet.

Like, it's beautiful,

but it's the panic of, like,

how long can you go on for
without eating?

Cos I don't want to just come in
here and just get so far...

It's, like... I want to win, or I
might as well just go home now.

I need some food.

The roots of these are edible.

But I've never cooked it
and it smells really bad.

God, it stinks. Whew.

HE EXHALES

You're telling me I've got
to eat that?

IN DISGUST: Phwoar...

I just hope it doesn't poison me.

Swamp roots...

Wouldn't it be amazing if
this just, like, tastes like potato.

HE SPITS

HE RETCHES, COUGHS

VOMITS

HE GARGLES, SPITS

That inside's like mush
and it tastes like swamp water.

Fuck me, that's bad.

Ooh, this ain't good.

Big bear shit right there.

Looks fresh. Fucking hell...

Student Kian still hasn't decided
where to settle.

I am looking for a place
for my permanent shelter.

My dad is probably my greatest
role-model - he's a policeman.

He's been through a lot of hardship
and he's always kept a brave face on

and been protective of the family.

This is my opportunity
to be like him.

Oh, OK, well, this is nice.

It's the only place in my area

that doesn't have a
huge amount of bear tracks.

I think we've found the spot
we're going to call home.

Ahh, fuck.

Some part of this tree that I've
just cut down to use for timber...

Bear scratches, I've just noticed.

That is...

That's flipping intense.

HEAVY ANIMAL EXHALE

Hey, bear!

Hey, bear!

Like, I've never been in a situation
where I've experienced real fear.

I'm really, really struggling
with the mental game out here.

Damn it, I thought I'd do better
than this.

Right now,

I feel like a scared little boy.

Whilst the sun is out,

I'm very tempted to do like
a full body wash.

Ahh, that is so cold!

This land, like, it's gorgeous.

Absolutely gorgeous.

I think that's me.

That was a very brief dip.

Feel fresh now and the sun is out...

...which is amazing.

I haven't got a permanent shelter.

Alan is still trying to decide
where to base his camp.

Just trying to find
a spot that isn't awful.

Nothing like a British woodland
at all.

This is very different.
Very different.

Really mindful of where you put your
feet here,

you can just sink through the moss.

When I was a kid, the only time I
was happy was

when I was in the woods, outdoors.

I like the quiet, I like the peace,
I like to be in my own headspace.

Oh, look at that, old man's beard.

I actually think it...
It should be called wizard's beard,

what old man has a
bright blue beard? Huh? Wizards.

I always kind of knew I was
an oddball, that's for sure,

but I didn't really think about why
or what at all.

I was 30 when I realised
I was autistic.

Argh... That hurt a lot.

I have classic autistic traits.

I'm hypersensitive
to basically all senses,

so my smell and my...sense of touch
are really, really sensitive.

Argh! Fuck, that's deep.

Ugh.

Fucking hell.

Hearing can be actually painful
to me quite a lot of the time.

I just want a spot for a shelter
that's not all fucking tangly.

To get through my life so far,

I've told myself that
I won't be beaten by stuff,

that's how I've coped.

So when things get hard,

I will tell myself that I...

...I am better than that.

I just need a spot to camp.

Just go a little further on.

The shelter site I picked,
it's not ideal,

but probably only got about an hour
and a half left of daylight,

and this is essential
for my survival.

I've got the main body
of my shelter up.

For now, it's OK. It's going to be
a work in progress.

I'm very scared...about...

...all the animals.

WHISPERED: Everything is so peaceful

and so quiet...

For now.

ANIMAL HOWLS

Let's pray for a really
smooth night.

It's really not nice,
kind of going through that fear.

HOWLING

RUSTLING
Fuck me.

Like, when I hear noises like
that...

I'll feel a little bit more
comfortable when I've got four walls

rather than none.

So, yeah, I'm not sure what time
it is, I'm going to bed down now.

All right, goodnight.

HEAVY RUSTLING

What was that?

It's OK, it's no biggy...

ANIMAL PANTS HEAVILY

HE BREATHES SHAKILY

Oh, my God.

RUSTLING CONTINUES

Oh, my God!
