Ed Stafford: First Man Out, Ed vs. Will Lord

Ed challenges Matt 'The Juggernaut' Wright, in the Wanshan Archipelago off the coast of southern China. They race to build rafts as storms roar in.

Ed takes on the 'Kiwi bushman', Josh James, in the Three Parallel Rivers plateau of Yunnan Province. Josh draws on his Maori-heritage to make fire in the mountains.

Ed faces former French Foreign Legion desert specialist, Xinlei Wu, in the Aksai Desert of north-west China. They encounter huge sand dunes, and rock-valley mazes.

Ed faces his old bushcraft teacher, Will Lord, in Bashan, central China. Both without a knife, they must navigate huge cliffs, and Asia's largest bamboo forest.

Ed takes on Hollywood stuntwoman, Ky Furneaux, in the Four Girls Mountain Range. How will they survive in its icy valleys, and snow-covered peaks?

Ed takes on ex-PSYOPS marine and real-life ninja, Hakim Isler, in the Zoige Marshes of Sichuan Province. The unforgiving wetland tests their willpower to the max.
