It's a reasonably realistic survival show where 10 individuals are dropped into separate locations in a wilderness setting with some survival gear. In the first season, they're given tarps, ropes, axes, saws, cooking gear as well as other equipment but no food or water. They are competing to see who survives the longest.
The contestants do all their own camera work so there is no one with them which makes it quite an unusual compared to other survival TV shows.
I've only watched part of the first series so far but I feel that the shows producers really drop these guys in the deep end with virtually no viable escape if the s*** hit the fan quickly. As the rescue team can take several hours to reach them if they call for evac. (Similar timeframe to a real life rescue situation it could be argued)
In the first series there are bears, cougars and wolves in close proximity to the contestants.
It's quite interesting to see how they adapt and attempt to survive. Some do well others only last a day or two before calling for rescue.. depending on their skill and luck of initial drop zone.
PS. No spoilers on who wins please.
