Premiere of a reality series in which 10 adventurers attempt to survive the wilderness of Vancouver Island with whatever they've been able to place into a backpack. Day one has them dealing with a lack of water and the island's large predators.

After only a short time in the wild, the men find that extreme isolation is beginning to take its toll. A survivalist undertakes a massive cabin project, one man loses his most important tool and another is charged by a large predator leaving him to fend for his life.
