Pairs of family members are dropped kilometres apart and must navigate the unforgiving terrain of Northern Vancouver Island to find each other; the competitors must build their own shelters and forage for their own food.

With teams reuniting, they dive into the difficult task of surviving and feeding two people instead of one; the last hiker faces a brutal mountain climb that could dash hopes of ever making it to camp.

The three remaining teams all pursue a long-term advantage. A complicated shelter build leaves one team exhausted, while another heads out into the Pacific, braving its freezing waters in a small craft.

As their teammates try to set up camp, the hikers discover Vancouver Island is even more punishing when on the move. One pair is beaten into submission, while another faces a devastating accident.

Ten survivalists make their return for a chance at redemption in the precarious parts of Northern Mongolia.

A seriously injured contestant ponders the decision to seek medical help and sacrifice a shot at the prize money; danger looms as predators continue to stalk the island's newest inhabitants.
