    Finale

    The survival expert explores the landscape and traditions of the west coast of Canada, which was effectively cut off from the rest of the country until David Thompson found a route through the Rocky Mountains in the early 1800s. Ray discovers how this isolation gave rise to the development of the area's culture, and reveals the particular kinds of skills that locals developed to cope with the challenges presented by its terrain.

    5. Koo Koo Sint - The Star Gazer

    The survival expert profiles 19th-century cartographer David Thompson, who mapped nearly four million square miles of North America - a feat that took him across Canada from the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Ocean and helped establish coast-to-coast trade within the country, as well as defining the borders that kept it independent from the US

    4. In Arctic Footsteps

    In this episode of the series, Ray follows in the footsteps of an unsung British hero who helped put modern Canada on the map. John Rae from Scotland was the first great Arctic explorer and came to be regarded as the foremost authority on First Nation methods of Arctic survival and travel. Ray Mears follows the story of how John Rae found the Northwest Passage - the Holy Grail of 19th-century exploration. Yet this man, who should have been a hero of his day, was vilified by the British establishment. Ray believes it's time to put the record straight.

    For Ray Mears there is one British pioneer who stands above all others in the exploration of Canada. That man is Samuel Hearne. In learning to travel using First Nations skills, he set the template for successful travel into Canada's wilderness. Hearne's story is defined by hardship and adventure, an inspiring tale made more powerful by the journal he left as a legacy. In a celebration of one of Earth's last great wildernesses, Ray follows in the footsteps of his hero's epic journey of over 1,000 miles.

    1. The Forgotten Forest

    Ray Mears goes on an epic adventure into Canada's unforgiving, yet stunning wilderness. His journey begins in the vast Boreal Forest at the heart of Canada.
