Epic Trails

Epic Trails is a riveting, adrenaline-fueled expedition through some of the world's most stunning landscapes. Brought to you by Ammo Content and first airing in 2017, this outdoor adventure television series is hosted by the charismatic, energetic, and adventure-ready Eric Hanson – renowned backpacker, blogger, and filmmaker.

Epic Trails can be described as a journey of discovery and exploration, a plunge into the heart of the wilderness, an intimate trip deep into the scenic beauty of Earth's remotest corners. Each episode of this exhilarating series features a new location, a fresh trail, an unknown path waiting to be discovered, and the inherent challenges that come with off-the-beaten-path adventures.

The primary draw of Epic Trails is its fascinating exploration of diverse geography and regions across the globe. From the frosted peaks of Patagonia's Torres del Paine and the rugged landscapes of Utah's Mighty Five, to the humble huts lining the Himalayan Mountains and the awe-inspiring natural wonders of Australia’s Northern Territory, Epic Trails transports you to the outdoors from the comfort of your home.

Hanson, with his enthusiasm for adventure and adept survival skills, guides the journey. However, it's not just about tackling treacherous trails or conquering chilly mountaintops. Eric's spontaneous interaction with local populations, his curiosity for their unique cultures, traditions, and folklore, adds an educational and emotional depth to the series. This multicultural exchange, characterized with empathetic and respectful approach, allows viewers a chance to understand different ways of life from all over the world.

Epic Trails is also committed to showcasing valuable conservation efforts in these areas, giving viewers a comprehensive understanding of the importance of protecting our planet. The show skillfully integrates discussions around environmental conservation and the critical role it plays in maintaining the beauty and integrity of these trails.

Like any other adventure, each episode is filled with unpredictable challenges—white-water rapids, high-altitude sickness, dangerous wildlife, sudden weather changes, and difficult terrains, among others. Hanson navigates through these challenges with grace and grit, consistently conveying the message that danger, uncertainty, and risk are part of the wilderness experience. He inspires viewers to push the boundaries of their comfort zones but also reinforces the importance of preparedness, respect, and safety when embarking on such adventures.

However, it's not all grueling challenges and testing determination. Epic Trails is ultimately about the enjoyment of being out in nature and the sense of achievement that comes with completing an arduous journey. With Hanson's infectious joy and sense of wonder at being in the wild, viewers may find themselves inspired to hit their local trails and experience the joy of the great outdoors for themselves.
