Plot (New Lives in the Wild) A British urbanite follows in the footsteps of various individuals, who against all odds, have willingly forsaken the luxuries and lifestyle of the modern world, for a less-than-ordinary life in the wilderness.
British adventurer Ben Fogle visits utterly desolate places in different outward parts of the world where men, alone or with a family, forsake most modern comforts and almost any social life, for different motives. Ben spends a week with each, experiencing the hardships, challenges and rewards of a life in sync and constantly challenged by nature, largely dependent on one's own abilities.
Plot (Return to the Wild) Ben revisits some of the people that he encountered in Ben Fogle: New Lives in the Wild to see how they have been getting on since he first met them.
