在这部荒野新生 第四季纪录片片中,
Ben spends weeks with Englishman John W. (32), who left the London rat race and a safe job to live on a desolate Mekong island in Laos among simple villagers, with a fisherman as his mentor. John is happy living a hard, almost self-supporting country life with such tasks as growing his own crops, herding water buffaloes and fishing with traps in a dangerous torrent. On top come occasional chores and community life, even moving a hie on poles on shoulders. Ben gets the pros despite all the sweat and pain it costs, but also worries in the long run if John's choice offers a future, romantic prospects or safety net in case of say serious illness.
