Synopsis

Over the course of several weeks a group of failing British dads - each bringing one of their children with them - will live in the heart of the Central American jungle: sleeping in home-made shelters, catching and cooking their own food, digging toilets, building fires, dodging spiders, snakes and scorpions while dealing with boiling heat, biting insects and sky-high humidity.

But that isn't all. As they battle to cope with the extremes of everyday life, in each episode they'll also have to tackle a wilderness challenge specially designed by Ed to test both their individual characters and their relationships with one another. Whether they are jumping from towering mountain gorges or fighting the rip-tide in homemade dug out canoes, trekking through pitch-black night in the jungle or being stranded in the wilderness and left to fend for themselves - each challenge will test them in ways they've never experienced before.
