Meet the Surviving the Stone Age cast: Eight experts live in the wilderness! Sat 7 November 202

Channel 4 brings us a brand new three-part series in 2020 – Surviving the Stone Age – so, let’s meet the show’s cast.

From The Island with Bear Grylls to SAS: Who Dares Wins, Channel 4 is no stranger to producing adventurous TV shows.

Now, Surviving the Stone Age kicks off from Saturday, November 7th at 7:10 pm. The show will see eight participants survive for a month in the Bulgarian wilderness, using only Stone Age tools to get by.

Surviving the Stone Age: Manse Ahmad

First up on the cast list is primitive skills, bushcraft and survival skills instructor Manse Ahmad.

Manse can be found on Instagram @manse.ahmad where he has around 500 followers. By the looks of things, he’s more than equipped to take part in the Channel 4 show. He’s the owner of UK based outdoor activity company Wilderness Pioneers. He was also crowned Ordnance Survey GetOutside Champion for 2018-19 and 2020-2021.

Going back to our Stone Age roots is a real eye opener. The one thing I have learnt from my journey into the Stone Age is that they were the greatest problem solvers ever. Think about that for a moment. Think of what they achieved to not only survive but to thrive in their environment. Think about how they learnt to utilise stone to their benefit and advancement. This whole adventure was an amazing experience, and allowed me to look into myself deeply. It allowed me to push both mental and physical boundaries again; which had not been done since my time in Her Majesties armed forces. #getoutside #getoutdoors #lifeisgood #woodskills #ancientskills #ancestoralskills #survivingthestoneage #wildernesspioneers #thewildernessjourney #stoneageskills #stoneageman

Naomi and Dan Walmsley

Husband and wife duo Naomi and Dan Walmsley are ready for a month of Stone Age living.

Dan describes himself on IG (@dan.s.walmsley) as a “Trail runner, survival consultant and mountain leader…”. It doesn’t look as though Naomi is on Instagram. As well as survival experts, they’re parents to two daughters.

Surviving the Stone Age: Dr. Theresa Emmerich-Kamper

Up next is an archaeologist with a passion for outdoor living skills – Theresa Emmerich Kamper.

Dr Theresa has a PhD in microscopic leather analysis. She’s a “tanning instructor and leather artefact analyst”. Find Dr Theresa on Instagram @traditional_leather, where she has almost 2,000 followers.

Caspar Brown

Surviving the Stone Age episode 1 will see Caspar Brown put his survival skills to use. In order to eat, the team builds boats to head downstream in search of migrating animals.

Caspar can be found on IG @casparobrown, however, he’s only got six posts, so with any luck, he’ll add some more photos of his adventures. By the looks of things, his travels often take him to Africa.

Surviving the Stone Age: Lynx

British primitive survival expert Lynx Vilden is a no-brainer when it comes to casting for Surviving the Stone Age.

Lynx has taken part in other TV series focused on survival including Living Wild and New Lives in the Wild.

According to her website, she aims “ to “live” in the wilderness, rather than “survive” it to get back to civilization“. Lynx was born in London but now resides in the USA.

Matt Graham

Matt Graham is potentially the second most famous survival expert to Lynx Vilden.

Matt has an Instagram following of over 65k @mattgraham_earthskills and is ‘blue-tick certified’.

He describes himself as a “TV Host & Outdoor Educator, Bushcraft/Ancestral Survival Skills, Adventure Athlete, Author, Consultant & Wilderness Ninja“. Matt has appeared on US TV shows such as Dual Survival, Dude, You’re Screwed and Bushcraft Build-off.

Surviving the Stone Age: Nicole Apelian

According to her IG bio, Nicole Apelian is actually “Dr. Nicole Apelian”. She’s a herbalist, author and scientist.

Nicole has two degrees, one in Biology and a Master’s degree in Ecology.

According to her website, “an unexpected diagnosis of MS in 2000 led Nicole to apply her research skills towards her own personal wellness“. She’s written a book – The Lost Book of Herbal Remedies – and also received a doctorate while working as an anthropologist and ethnobotanist in Botswana.

Nicole as almost 30k followers on Ig – @nicole_apelian.
