冒险家本·福格前往世界各地的偏僻荒野，探访抛弃了城市生活、来到荒野里过简朴生活的人们。
从澳大利亚的荒岛，到新西兰的边缘；从酷热的德州沙漠，到冰冷的阿拉斯加。
他想知道是什么原因驱使这些人急流勇退，宁可抛弃城市生活的种种便利，搬家到杳无人烟、与世隔绝的荒野里去。
他们的生活经历会给我们怎样的启示？

Adventurer Ben Fogle gets a taste of extreme escapism in this brand new series meeting those who have turned their backs on the daily grind. Each week, Ben spends time in one of the world's most remote locations, meeting the people who now inhabit these inhospitable corners of the planet after leaving their ordinary lives behind.
Our intrepid guide also wonders whether these extraordinary individuals and their incredible experiences might tempt him to move his own family out of London and away from the comforts of the city. Is it daring or downright crazy? Ben wants to discover the truth about life in tough, harsh conditions, where doing battle with Mother Nature is a daily reality.
