Ben Fogle experiences a terrifying moment while filming a new series featuring a nomadic woman living on the edge of a U.S. freeway with her animals.
In an exclusive report, adventurer Ben Fogle recounts a chilling experience while filming his new series 'Ben Fogle: New Lives in the Wild.' Fogle, renowned for his daring adventures which include climbing Everest and traversing the Sahara Desert, found himself in a precarious situation alongside a nomadic woman named Randilyn, who has embraced a unique lifestyle on the road as her children have grown up and left home.
Randilyn has been traveling along the freeways of Missouri for five years, accompanied by her collection of animals including pigeons, chickens, dogs, and donkeys. She supports herself by selling handmade leather goods at roadside stands, a testament to her resourcefulness and commitment to living life on her own terms.

The incident that sparked fear for Fogle's safety occurred while filming Randilyn's story, highlighting the dangers associated with living on the fringes of modern society and the unique, often harrowing experiences faced by individuals who choose such a lifestyle. This segment not only showcases Fogle's daring spirit but also brings attention to the broader themes of freedom, survival, and the complexities of nomadic living in contemporary America.
