Ben Fogle's
New Lives in the Wild

Season 21 of one of Britain's most watched documentary series came to Anaconda, Montana. Ben Fogle and a BBC crew spent days on the mountain filming what the Bellrose family has been quietly building — an off-grid lodge at 8,150 feet. The episode reached millions of viewers across the UK and beyond.

"Nobody has lived up there for 200 years. But we've made it this far."
