Colin O’Brady hosts the Dixons from Austin, Texas and the Purefoys from Brodnax, Virginia on a three-day, 24-mile, trek through one of the most dangerous landscapes in the country. The Dixons are looking to go out of their comfort zone and see how they react to the extreme environment. The Purefoys are hoping this adventure can bring their family back together, as the eldest leave the nest.
