Ben Fogle: New Lives In The Wild (2013)

Episode Overview

Ben joins Rob—a man he once met in California’s Slab City—and Rob’s 18-year-old son, Damien, for a firsthand look at living rough in the wild. Their days are filled with digging a makeshift latrine, catching crayfish for supper, paddling a kayak to escort Damien to school, and chopping wood to keep the campfire blazing at night. Through these gritty, everyday tasks, Ben gets a raw taste of survival and the bonds that form when everything else falls away.
