Episode 1: Can I Survive?
Ed Wardle is a self-shooting documentary producer and director with an extraordinary background in personal adventure. From mountain top to ocean floor, he’s filmed and produced a wide range of television shows, ranging from factual entertainment to extreme adventure.
Ed grew up in rural Scotland, where he developed his love of the outdoors and mountaineering. He trained as an architect before getting his first break in TV working with a series of ballooning adventure films. Since then, he has worked on numerous television shows.
In 2007, Ed summited Mt. Everest as series producer of the show “Everest: Beyond the Limit”. In 2008, he filmed an expedition to the North Pole, and he has just returned from summiting Everest a second time. The extreme filmmaker has climbed numerous mountains, is an accomplished ice climber, holds advanced diving qualifications. He has traveled extensively in South America, Africa, and the Far East.
Truth be told, however, Ed is not a survival expert. He is a very competent outdoorsman, but has no particular survival skills or knowledge. Ed’s just a guy who lives in London and loves the outdoors.
Alone in the Wild will bring this adventurous cameraman to the edge of his technical and physical abilities, and see just how long his passion for living wild will last.
