This series follows people who choose to live off the grid and in the unspoiled wilderness, where dangers like mudslides, falling trees and bears are all parts of life.

Eustace Conway, who has lived at the western edge of the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina for over 25 years, teaches interns about the old ways of living with nature. Tom Oar takes a full year to prepare for the seven-month-long winter on Montana's Yaak River. In Alaska, Marty Meierotto must gather enough wood to survive winters that can have temperatures drop to as low as 60 degrees below zero.
