Ed Stafford to take wife and 20-month-old toddler to survive in wilderness; read details

Well-known explorer Ed Stafford has survived independently in some of the most dangerous environments, often desperate for food, shelter and water, but now he seems to be putting himself to the ultimate test. As per reports, Ed Stafford will stay off-grid on a remote uninhabited island in Indonesia for about a month in the brand-new documentary ED STAFFORD: MAN WOMAN CHILD WILD premiering on Discovery, Discovery HD and Discovery Plus App on May 11, 2020.

In this unexplored place, he will be completely self-sufficient fending for himself, but here's the twist; this time, Ed won't be alone as he will be joined by wife Laura Bingham and 20-month-old son Ran, where they will have to live as a family, on the beautiful but challenging island.

Entirely self-filmed the challenge of survival for Ed, Laura and Ran will see them deep in the Indian Ocean, based on one of the 18,000 islands of Indonesia. They would have to fend for themselves, one hour away from civilisation and without supplies, with no idea of the sources of water and food in advance, and with the growing threat of tropical storms ever-present.

Ed Stafford recently opened up about the show and said that he thought it would be kind of fascinating as an experiment, for a family to go out and discover whether they can survive and leave behind all the trappings of modern life. He also said that Discovery Channel had bought into the idea and even they thought that this would make a very interesting television program. He also said that he has learned a lot of lessons along the way.
