Primal Survivor: Mighty Mekong

High above the clouds, Hazen Audel begins the survival adventure of a lifetime. From the highest point in the Mekong Basin in Laos, he descends through cloud forest in search of the Hmong people, who hunt using traditional poisons and craft their own survival tools from Vietnam War shrapnel. Finally he seeks out the mighty Mekong River itself, in search of a blessing for his 500-mile journey.

Survivalist Hazen Audel goes in search of the elusive, giant reticulated python in one of Laos’ most wildlife-rich landscapes, the famous Beung Kiat Ngong wetlands. Learning survival secrets from the local Jarai people, Hazen carves his own dugout canoe, braves giant leeches and feasts on snails as he attempts to achieve the ambition of a lifetime, and see this iconic creature in the wild.

Survivalist Hazen Audel attempts to complete an epic survival challenge, hunting on the banks of the Mekong and tackling the river’s wildest waters, as he races to reach a legendary fishing hot-spot. Will he make it in time to join the local dare-devil fishermen, who risk their lives in the raging waters to catch prized fish as they make their annual migration up the thundering Khone Falls?
