Lu Chen, the director of wilderness survival documentaries, has traveled to 32 extreme environments on six continents around the world and interviewed more than a dozen top survival experts - but he has never survived alone in the wilderness for three days.
A plane crash threw all his theories into literal hell.
Nameless island. Half a bottle of water. A rusty knife. The left foot doesn't even have a shoe.
His mind was filled with survival knowledge, but his hands couldn't even light a fire.
From a fire to a clay pot, from a cave to a terraced field, from using his bare hands to lighting a signal tower in the crater - he rebuilt civilization in the wilderness with his hands.
This island taught him one thing: true survival is not about fighting nature, but about understanding it. True civilization is not to conquer the wilderness, but to return to the crowd with awe.
And the question he ultimately wants to answer is - when you have created everything in the wilderness with your own hands, do you still want to return to a world where everything is lacking?
