Escape to the Wild

Sweden (1x4)

Air date: Jun 29, 2015

Kevin heads toward the Arctic Circle to meet Richard and Claire Rees, an intrepid Welsh couple who have given up their jobs and former lives to reside in a basic wooden cabin in the snow-covered forests of northern Sweden. Living completely off-grid, with no electricity or running water, and facing temperatures that can go as low as minus 30°C, simply surviving is a challenge. Kevin helps with the arduous, repetitive daily tasks of chopping wood and collecting water from under the ice, learning that a cup of coffee can take an hour to make.
