Les Stroud, the survival expert behind Survivorman, turns the camera on his own family for a personal experiment in self-sufficiency. Shot in 2006 on the 170 acres he owns, the film follows Stroud between seasons of his television show as he tries to actually live the disconnected life his series only simulated for a week at a time: building shelter, managing power and water without utility hookups, and figuring out what his family needs to get through days without the conveniences everyone assumes are non-negotiable. There is no survival-show premise here, no timer counting down to rescue; it is closer to a home movie of a working experiment, with Stroud narrating his own missteps as much as his successes. The film played only in Canada and has stayed obscure even among his fans, which gives it a rougher, less produced feel than his broadcast work. It is less about wilderness danger than about the daily logistics of choosing to live outside the grid on purpose.
