The episode follows a single actor as he ventures into the remote Alaskan wilderness, taking on the region’s rugged landscape in a hands‑on adventure. It presents his journey as a series of outdoor challenges, set against the stark beauty of the north‑west frontier. During the programme he attempts to land a massive salmon, learning the techniques required to capture such a prized fish.
