Alone in the Wild

Ed is finding dealing with the extreme solitude almost too much to bear.

Photographs of loved ones he bought with him prove too torturous to look at and he begins to have imaginary phone calls with his girlfriend.

Finding food has become painfully frustrating and Ed's last chance is the millions of salmon that swim up river to spawn, but this year there's no sign of them. As starvation takes hold, his heart rate plummets and emergency food rations are dropped in.

Although Ed's health rallies, he realises he can't support himself alone in the wild and calls in a rescue plane.

After 50 days of complete solitude, he is with people for the first time. When Ed sees himself in a mirror and what his adventure has done to him physically, he breaks down. His dream is over and he will never forget what he has done and learnt, but now he is going home.
