Hors Réseau : l’expérience Filmed at Kenauk Nature
Kenauk as a Filming Location
The series Hors Réseau: l’experience, available starting March 4, 2026 on Crave, was recently filmed on the Kenauk territory, one of the largest private nature reserves in North America. The Hors Réseau production team settled in the heart of a protected area spanning more than 65,000 acres, known for its rich biodiversity and wild landscapes. Forests, lakes, rivers, and abundant wildlife provided an ideal setting for this off-grid immersion. The presence of Hors Réseau at Kenauk Nature highlights a unique territory and a vision where conservation and human experience coexist. This exposure helps raise public awareness about the importance of protecting large natural spaces while making them accessible in a responsible way.
Kenauk : A Unique Territory
Kenauk is more than a destination, it is a living territory dedicated to conservation. The territory stretches across 65,000 acres of pristine forest and lakes. Located between Montreal and Ottawa, Kenauk is managed with one clear goal: to protect its ecosystems while allowing people, science, and nature to coexist in harmony. At the center of this vision stands the Kenauk Institute, the steward of the territory. As a non-profit organization, the Institute leads initiatives in conservation, research, and environmental education, ensuring that every activity on the land contributes to the long-term preservation of the environment. Three complementary entities operate within the Kenauk territory, each reinforcing this shared mission from a different angle: eco-tourism, sustainable fish farming and regenerative forestry.
The uniqueness and success of this innovative model lie in the balance between science, stewardship, and activity. A balance that allows the territory to thrive as one coherent ecosystem. Through their collaboration, Kenauk continues to demonstrate how environmental integrity and economic viability can truly coexist.

About this show
Ten well-known digital personalities are dropped alone into a vast, uninhabited forest. Equipped only with a radio and basic supplies, they face a social experiment of total disconnection—no phones, no social media. They must first find each other, then work together to complete challenges and collect cylinders, each holding a portion of the grand cash prize. Collaboration is key, as every participant must hold a cylinder to join the final phase: the evacuation. This ultimate journey tests endurance, with the grand prize determined by the cylinders successfully brought to the exit. At the end, participants face a final choice: the common good or personal gain? (Excerpt translated from bellmedia.ca)
