In 2009 Scottish wildlife cameraman Ed Wardle decided to fulfill a life-long dream and see if he could survive alone with only the most meagre of supplies for 3 months in the Yukon territories of Canada.
Filmed for the UK's Channel 4, this 3 part mini-series follows Ed through the initial excitement and wonder of his stunning surroundings, the onset and realization of loneliness, the incredible difficulties of simply finding enough food to stay alive and the outright fear of both the known and unknown.
The viewer is given some wonderful moments of ecstasy and tragedy as we watch Ed arguing with squirrels, singing to bears, crying at planes and finally laughing hysterically at cheese!
A very pretty and interesting show that will leave you wondering whether you could make it yourself and though I'd love to try, I think I'd probably die. Still, worse ways to go.
