Can We Survive in the Wild?
The truth about what we eat. The Gastronuts test their survival skills by making fire, creating shelter and discovering wild food, from nettles to pigeon.
Food fanatic Stefan Gates and his intrepid Gastronuts go on another wild culinary adventure to discover the truth about how we eat, what we eat and where it comes from. Along the way they indulge in hare brained experiments, crazy cooking and eat the world's weirdest food from scorpions to pig's ears.
If you were stuck out in the wilderness with no food, no water, nowhere to sleep and no way of keeping warm, could you survive the night? Stefan and the Gastronuts put their survival skills to the test by making fire, creating shelter, foraging for food and discovering the surprising amount of food on offer in the UK countryside from nettles to pigeon.
