Four months ago a man named Ed Wardle referred to the Canadian wilderness on their own. He made a documentary called "Alone in the Wild Channel 4 The plan had been Wardle Yukon is three months, only a rifle, fishing rod alive and armedof course, a TV camera.
He was supposed to be aping the experiences of Christopher McCandless, who died undertaking a similar mission in the Nineties. However, Wardle was a film-maker not a survival expert, and he very nearly didn’t survive. When the helicopter came to bail him out after 50 days, his heartbeat was down to 32 beats a minute and his mission had almost proved as disastrous as McCandless’s. John Beyer, Director of Media Watch, said: “If Channel 4 are going to send people on this kind of expedition, they really must make sure they are up to it.” (Channel 4 defended itself, highlighting the training and back-up that Wardle had received.)
Not shocking to many people in the tundra, Wardle, but that would have to happen upon Ray Mears. Into the Wild North Ray Mears', which starts on Sunday on BBC Two, nominate leads to wild in Canada, on foot, showshoe, and now mark his boat, a mixture of survival techniques with a history of great explorers of the nation . But to call it it back.
