    Jack Dee journeys into the mountains of Lepikha, where he stays for two nights in a remote reindeer herder village. There he is taught the basic survival skills of the herders. His journey then sees him travel alone for four days and three nights to meet nomadic herders out in the wilderness. After receiving his final tuition in survival, Jack sets out alone on a further 50km journey to find his own remote new home. Here, he must survive the extreme weather conditions for five more days, living off the land and tending to his own reindeer herd. Throughout his time alone, Jack keeps his own video diary, recording his feelings on long, cold Siberian nights.
