Adventurer Ben Fogle travels to remote corners of the globe to experience extreme lifestyles with those who have left modern-day amenities behind. In each episode Ben spends time in an isolated location, meeting people who have realised their dreams of rat-race-free living and being in tune with Mother Nature. Ben immerses himself in their lives to explore their motivations, and discover the truth about subsisting in tough, harsh conditions. It's also a journey of self-discovery for the presenter - would he move his own family from the comforts of London for a new life?
