Ben Fogle: New Lives In The Wild (2013)

S12E1 Return to New Zealand

In a world where many feel cut off, some individuals have truly distanced themselves, choosing to live in some of the planet's most secluded spots. Ben Fogle embarks on a journey to reconnect with these unique families, starting with the Longs in New Zealand. Previously, they lived a challenging, hunter-gatherer lifestyle, situated two days' walk from the nearest road. Ben recalls it as "enchanting yet incredibly demanding – like perpetual camping." He explores how the children have adapted to their isolated surroundings and how the parents have nurtured their relationship amidst such challenges.
