Ben makes an unprecedented third visit to see his old friends Bill and Bob, elderly twins living in the canyons of Utah, and realises that their paranoia about the outside world has grown.

Ben Fogle revisits Rauri on Rathlin Island, who left HR for off-grid life. They repaint Rauri's house and discuss his health struggles, recent losses, and a daring journey he made to help those in need.

Join Ben as he revisits Will Lord, a true British caveman, in Suffolk's woodlands. Discover how Will's prehistoric dreams have evolved over three years and how his loved ones embrace this unique lifestyle.
