Ed Stafford is marooned for 10 days with nothing in a mountainous area of the Golden Triangle. It's the tail end of the monsoon and Ed is caught out, leaving himself exposed and vulnerable. Keen not to make the same mistake again he uses all his skill and ingenuity to tap into the resources the jungle has to offer

Under the searing summer sun, Ed takes on Arizona's Sonoran Desert. As temperatures exceed 40 degrees C, and the local monsoon season threatens to bring potentially deadly flash floods, he battles against the threat of rattlesnakes and mountain lions in a bid to tread in the footsteps of ancient indigenous Americans who thrived in this harsh habitat.
