Our bodies can be pushed to the limits, only if you are brave enough.
Ed Stafford: Left for Dead is an epic adventure series that follows explorer Ed Stafford in his attempt to escape from some of our planet's most extreme environments in under 10 days. Subtropical forests, parched deserts and desolate mountains await him.
Dropped in the wilderness with no survival kit, Ed has just 10 days to reach civilisation - pushing the limits of human endurance on the move.
Ed carries his camera kit to film himself, but nothing else - no map, compass or tools. He must rely on his survival instincts and his will to live to combat hunger, thirst, fatigue and life-threatening obstacles.
The challenges that Ed faces are in fact so dangerous that an expert rescue team tracks him from afar - ready to venture out to retrieve him at a moment's notice. However, the distance between Ed and his emergency crew means that certain situations could still prove perilous for Ed, given the risk that they arrive too late.
The show proves that survival is more than just a test of physical strength - it takes mental agility and unyielding determination to make it out alive.
Join Ed as he encounters countless dilemmas with no weapon to defend himself from what might happen, even if he’s tracked by his safety team. All alone, lost and far from home, he battles both mental as well as a physical impairment, all that a human body can endure.
Throughout the series, Ed travels from the Atacama Desert in Bolivia to the Altai Mountains in Mongolia. His biggest fear is the failure of not completing his mission, will he be able to conquer it?
