English explorer and former British Army captain Ed Stafford, famous for his Naked and Marooned 60-day experiment on a deserted island with nothing but a camera, shot the first episode of a new survival series in Romania.

The new six-episode series, Extreme Survival, premiered on April 14 on Discovery Channel in Romania.

The first episode was filmed in Romania, where Stafford had a ten-day survival adventure in the Carpathian mountains. Other filming locations were the Gran Sabana mountains in Venezuela, the Okavango Delta in Botswana, the Western Australian coast and the Borneo jungle.

Under the new series, Stafford is left without any water, food, or any sort of help, and has to survive for ten days, with nothing but a pair of shorts and a camera, without any contact to anybody from the outside.

Ed’s first venture into television projects was to self-film a survival experiment for Discovery Channel that was made into a 4-part series that aired around the world from March 2013. “Naked Castaway”/ “Naked and Marooned” aired in the USA, UK and internationally on Discovery Channel and has been shortlisted for best popular factual program for the Broadcast Awards 2014.

He was dropped off alone on an uninhabited tropical island in the Pacific with no food, no water, no tools, no knife and not even any clothes, for 60 days, trying  to survive on his experience and his wits. Maybe you are also interessted in booking a survival holiday.

All Ed had with him was the cameras to self-film this ground-breaking documentary as well as a stripped down medical kit (one course of antibiotics and some trauma dressings), an emergency satellite phone and a GPS messenger in case his life was at risk.
