Earth's Richest Man Starts in the Primitive Wilderness

War is terrifying. It can destroy everything.

If human civilization vanished and we returned to an age of making fire with sticks and living by hunting and gathering, would you survive?

Step into the wilderness. Our global competition begins!

Venture deep into the Amazon rainforest, build a raft and survive the raging storms, escape the deadly coils of a giant python…

Return to the land where Su Wu once herded sheep, feel the Siberian wind at minus 50 degrees, and fight the wolves charging at you head-on…

Paddle an outrigger canoe across the ocean. The crashing waves aren’t the only danger. Just when you want to eat fish, a great white shark comes lunging at you with its jaws wide open…

Reporter: “What happened to the animals that tried to eat you?”

Lin Zheng: “Their protein turned into amino acids and… gave my body a tremendous boost of energy!”

The story begins on the North American continent: hunting, gathering, fishing, catching turkeys, smelting copper, forging iron, and firing porcelain…

In 30 days, forge a path to civilization that the Indigenous peoples of the Americas never walked in tens of thousands of years.

At first, every step is nerve-racking. There are so many snakes in the valley!
