- Elite builders compete in a gruelling, seven-day race against the clock and so there's no hardware store in sight. The builders can only use the natural materials in their immediate surroundings. This competition will test the primitive building skills that have allowed survivalists to thrive in the wilderness for generations.
- Matt Graham challenges master bushcrafters to a build-off that will put their primitive building skills to the ultimate test. The competitions will feature a variety of topographies and a variety of challenges to build the required structures in the pre-set timeline. They'll only have the resources that the land provides and each competition will be the most grueling seven day adventure that these craftman have experienced.
Pushing the human spirit to the limit
The challenges are designed to bring out the best in each of the competitors. The mental aspect is as grueling and exhausting as the physical challenge. It is up to each to figure out how to accomplish the tasks they are charged with under difficult circumstances. Creativity will definitely be a requirement as there are no hardware stores nearby. The builders are allowed to have a few simple hand tools on hand, but there will be no power for more advanced tools and equipment. This is a survival challenge and will the bushcrafters have what it takes to make it to the finish?
The Competitions:
Each week the show will feature two bushcrafters who face off. Each are masters in their field and they'll go head to head in builds that challenge the most proficient. Stamina creativity and skills will all be pushed to the limits as they are challenged to construct weapons, bridges, transportation and other structures. The variety of the challenges will make this show interesting to watch because viewers will be anxious to find out what the next cool build will be. You may be surprised at how skilled the masters are at their craft.
An insight into our history
When the first settlers arrived in America, they had few advanced tools and no power equipment to erect the structures and build the things that were required for survival. Just like the master bushcrafters of these competitions, they only had a few simple tools, their hands, backs, minds and what resources were available from the land. The rest was up to them and they forged a civilization out of the wilderness. Soon, settlements became cities and a new nation was born. Watching "Bushcraft Build-Off" will give viewers an idea of what the first settlers went through.
