A farmer from mid Wales was dropped into an abandoned American town with no food, water, electricity or tools for a new series.<\/b><\/p>\n
Apocalypse, which starts on Sunday, sees two groups of strangers attempt to survive in a site usually used to train military, with whatever they can find while competing for limited resources.<\/p>\n
Ioan Humphreys, from Carno, told BBC Wales he had “zero idea” what he was getting into and was only told it was a survival show about a month before filming.<\/p>\n
The 33-year-old was dropped into the town with nothing but the clothes he was wearing – with temperatures dropping as low as -12C during the challenge.<\/p>\n
As described by Channel 4, the two groups are “surrounded by the remnants of modern life” and they must “recycle, reuse and reinvent anything of use to improve their lives”.<\/p>\n
Among the contestants is 33-year-old Ioan Humphreys, who took over his family farm in Carno when was 20 after his father became ill.<\/p>\n
Humphreys was approached by producers because they wanted someone with a farming background. <\/p>\n
Channel 4 described the programme as “a cross section of society – including a mechanic, paramedic, farmer and a social media influencer – must discover whether reverting to primitive human behaviour will be what it takes to make it through the Apocalypse, or whether cooperation is the key to survival.”<\/p>\n
But Humphreys told BBC Wales he had “zero idea” what he was getting into and was only told it was a survival show about a month before he went on it.<\/p>\n
“We got dropped into the survival situation with nothing, only what we were wearing,” he said.<\/p>\n
Humphreys said the experience was nothing like life on his farm in Wales.<\/p>\n
“There was no power. There was no food. There was no running water.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
