In this opening episode, 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.
Ed takes on the daily struggles as he learns to set up camp, hunt and gather food, build a shelter and deal with living alone.
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.
