Stuck with Hackett features "alternative engineer" and survival expert Chris Hackett. Each episode finds Hackett left alone in an extreme environment - from deep wilderness, to ruined cities, to arid deserts — with little more than his wits and ingenuity. The goal isn't survival, however; it's luxury...achieved by any means necessary.
