Ray Mears has spent his life developing a brand of survival skills he calls 'wilderness bushcraft'-a philosophy that humans should live closer to nature, as the Bushmen do. This series sees him put his skills into practice as he heads into the Northern Wilderness; dispensing tips, knowledge and collecting amazing stories, while he soaks up the indigenous culture and explores a wide variety of natural habitats in the Boreal Forest, the Hudson Bay, the frozen tundra and the Rocky Mountains.
