Hacking The Wild
TV Show · Documentary · Reality

Mixing primitive skills and modern technology to put a unique spin on survival, Andy Quitmeyer has single-handedly created a new and emerging area of scientific exploration. As the world's first `digital survivalist', Quitmeyer ventures into remote parts of the world armed with nothing but everyday technology and science to survive harsh conditions. Hour-long episodes follow the award-winning author as he hacks his way back to civilisation using old-fashioned survival skills and a backpack full of wires, laptops and tracking devices. By concocting repelling devices, traps, alarms, and even heating systems, Andy deftly adapts to each situation on the fly by using innovative problem-solving skills.
