Ben Fogle: New Lives in the Wild (2013): Season 20, Episode 10

20 - 10: Maine

Ben's journey takes him to an off-grid home nestled deep in the forests of Canton, Maine. Here, he meets Arthur, a hunter-gatherer with a PhD in botany, along with his two daughters, Samara (11) and Fera (4), and his girlfriend, Kelly. Arthur has spent the past decade building a community of like-minded individuals inspired by local Native American cultures and the traditions of our hunter-gatherer ancestors. During his stay, Ben witnesses how Arthur's ideology is passed down to his daughters. Ben also discovers Arthur's unique parenting style, treating children of all ages as adults. This approach has fostered extraordinary mental fortitude in his daughters, helping them cope with a tragic personal loss.
