Win the Wilderness: Alaska | Theo and Bee
You may have seen by now that we’re going to be on the BBC’s newest show - Win the Wilderness: Alaska. Airing on January 26th at 9pm on BBC2, there will be six one hour episodes documenting ourselves and five other couples as we compete to win a remote off-grid property 100 miles from the nearest road in Alaska.
Win the Wilderness: Alaska | Watch us on TV!
We’ve had a lot of questions (understandably!) about how it all played out, when was it filmed, who won, and all sorts of other enquiries. There’s some things we can share, but you must watch the show to find out who wins ;)
How did we get on the show?
We applied for the show just like everyone else! We run a Facebook group called The Alternative Living Group where one of the producers submitted an advert to apply for the show. The prospect of going to Alaska for the chance to win an incredibly remote off-grid property was the perfect challenge for us. After applying we had a couple of months back and forth, before finding out we were 100% going to Alaska in February 2019. We had to keep it all a secret which can be pretty tough when you document all aspects of your life, going to Alaska and not telling anyone at all was probably the hardest secret we've ever had to keep!
When was it filmed?
The show was filmed in June 2019, and we landed in Alaska in May 2019. During this period of the year the sun doesn’t set, so it was full-on daylight for the duration of our trip to Alaska.
