About this season
Former Navy Seal Cade Courtley travels cross-country to meet the folks that are unplugging from society. The terrain, wildlife, and food sources are as varied as the people who choose this lifestyle. But they are all motivated by the same thing; they want to live free, as they pursue their own version of the American Dream.
