Engineer Andrea grew up in the middle of a national forest in the south, and claims that “no self respecting Southerner grows up without hunting and fishing.” Andrea competes in CrossFit competitions and enjoys extreme survival sports and endurance races.

Angie is a former member of the Texas State Guard where she worked to provide disaster relief, and while most people would describe the job as grueling, she describes it as fun. She’s an EMT who’s an avid climber and fisher. She also hunts, and prefers to use recurve bows to hunt hogs and turkeys, but can work traps and nets (as well as axes, knives, rifles, handguns and slingshots, for what it’s worth). The shark tattoo on her arm is a reminder of her next goal: To catch a shark.

Corey started out as a model in NYC, but quickly learned that city life wasn’t for him. He moved back to his hometown to follow his true passion: the outdoors. Since then, he’s been teaching himself how to live in the wilderness alone, and is currently planning a 50-day survival mission.

Javier Colon
Age: 42
Location: San Francisco
Raised in the Rust Belt, Javier developed a taste for wanderlust early and has since grown into a seasoned traveler with 23 years of international outdoor experience.

Joel is an engineer, health care and technology innovator and a mountaineer who was the first to ascend a peak in a remote region of Western Mongolia: To rescue a person injured in a rock slide, he and an international team of alpinists executed a harrowing evacuation and emergency stabilization, and still successfully summited despite deteriorating conditions.
Jordan Williams
Age: 25
Location: Fort Collins, Colorado
Jordan professionally honed his survival skills in the US Marines and feels at home in a jungle, the desert and amphibious and mountainous terrains. As a team member, he’s got one mantra: “Put up or shut up.”
Justin Court
Age: 44
Location: La Grange, Kentucky
Justin is an avid bowhunter and has worked as a guide in Montana. He’s also a black belt in jiujitsu who’s survived an avalanche, surfed all over the world and broken his share of bones. (“I’d rather have a broken bone than a broken heart.”) He believes the key to surviving in the wilderness comes down to optimizing three main components: mindset, tactics and gear.
Lee Ettinger
Age: 57
Location: Bigfork, Montana
Lee played extreme sports as a kid, and later served eight years in the United States Marine Corps with deployments in a Special Operations Qualified Advance Landing Unit.

Paul Preece
Age: 47

As a child, Paul hunted small game out of necessity for his family table; today, he hunts big game to provide additional food for his family.

Seth Lueker
Age: 31
Location: Winchester, Virginia
At 19, Seth enlisted in the Marine Corps and was stationed in Hawaii, where he learned combat survival, land navigation and — as he puts it — “how to properly get sunburned on a beach.” But most of his survival skills were self-taught during his childhood growing up on a farm in Virginia, where he learned to hunt, fish and track game.
Timothy Spears
Age: 33
Location: Fort Collins, Colorado
Tim attributes his love for the outdoors to his late grandfather, who once took him on a three-week trip to Canada to hunt, camp and survive in the wilderness. Now that he lives in Colorado, he’s been exploring the Colorado Trail. He believes nature is where humans are meant to be and would give up anything for the opportunity to test his skills in the wild indefinitely.
