Veteran reality TV adventurer Ed Stafford is back, this time testing the extreme limits of human endurance and determination and hoping he's the `first man out'. The six-part series shows Ed risking life, limb and reputation as he challenges top survivalists in a race to get out of some of the most hostile environments on the planet. His competitors include EJ Snyder (`Dual Survival,' `Naked and Afraid'), Matt Graham (`Dual Survival,' `Bushcraft Build Off'), Cat Bigney (`The Great Human Race'), Ken Rhee (`Ultimate Hell Week'), John Hudson (`Dude You're Screwed') and ex-military expert Commando Sniper Aldo Kane. As they tackle the punishing distances, fearsome challenges and diverse environments, tracking technology allows survival expert Andrew Wood to provide viewers with analysis of the techniques and performances of the competitors.
