"Bravado may stir the crowd, but courage needs no audience." — T.F. Hodge
What happens in this episode
Ten survivalists from around the world are dropped into the Beaufort Delta below the Richardson Mountains to compete for $500,000 in the first Alone World Championship. Some find early success trapping and hunting; one competitor discovers that skill alone may not be enough to endure what is coming.
