“Mud, Sweat and Beards is a brand new approach to wilderness adventure. Typically survivalists on TV spend most of their time miserable, but Donny and Ray love what they do and they have fun doing it. I think the audience is going to watch the show and wish they could be out there on this adventure with them,” Noah Samton, SVP Current Production, said.
The series will show Dust and Livingston for 10 days at a time in the Alaskan wilderness, Louisiana swampland, New Mexico desert, and Icelandic shores. This is their “version of a vacation,” as they must use their wit and ingenuity to work hand-in-hand, building elaborate shelters, tracking down natural food sources, and combating extreme weather, hunger, predators, and BO.
During the four episodes, viewers will see Dust and Livingston practice Alaskan bushcraft, brave alligator-infested waters in handmade reed kayaks, construct a mud hogan for warmth during the desert nights, and build a Viking roundhouse out of logs and turf. And to deal with hunger, they’ll smoke a pine marauding porcupine, track down an elusive dog-sized swamp rat, discover what the desert has to offer besides cactus, and hit the Icelandic cliffs to hunt.
Mud, Sweat and Beards is produced by Leftfield Pictures, an ITV America company. Shawn Witt, Gretchen Palek, Ryan Pender, Zach Green, and Matt Odgers serve as executive producers.
