Alaska Surviving the Last Frontier

Image 1 / 10

Follow four groups of ordinary people as they give up the convenience and technology of modern life and attempt to survive the wilds of Alaska. Living in shelters ranging from cabins to canvas tents, the ‘Alaska Experiment’ volunteers will test themselves against the brutal Alaskan wilderness for 90 days. The groups are made up of friends, families and couples, each with varying degrees of physical fitness and outdoor experience. Equipped with a minimum ration of dry food and simple tools, they are confronted with the realities of wilderness life as they attempt to catch salmon, and learn to live without power, running water or modern conveniences. Can they learn to adapt to survive this environment?
