Ben spends a week deep in Missouri's 'Redneck Riviera', the Ozark Mountains. His aging wilderness host is Bo Brown, former pro musician in a successful bluegrass band, who needed to start a new life from scratch after the split left him without income. he spent his savings on a derelict home he meanwhile remodeled into a modern base for his survival courses, barely yielding enough to pay off his debts, but rewarding in terms of 'paying back the world'. Bo is very knowledgeable, although merely self-taught, but sort of trapped between conventional obligations and the contact with nature he so greatly enjoys.
