- Synopsis:
As our cities become more crowded, and our lives ever more stressful, Kevin wants to find out whether a simpler life out in the wild could make us happier. And what we can learn from this new aspirational type of wilderness living. Each episode, Kevin travels to a far flung destination to see how others have built their lives and dwellings against the odds. Often the jaw-droppingly beautiful landscapes belie a harsh reality for the settlers who have chosen to build their lives there. Whether paddling down the jungle river in a canoe, horse trekking through the Chilean mountains or machete-ing his way through a dense forest, Kevin experiences the realities of building a sustainable life off the beaten track.
