The new Magnolia Network reality series Back to the Frontier, which is executive produced by Chip and Joanna Gaines, follows three American families as they live as homesteaders as if it was the 1800s, trading their present-day comforts for a more analog life on the frontier. While guided by historical experts, the three families must live without the modern conveniences of technology, running water, or electricity for eight weeks and deal with fixing their shelters, raising livestock, growing and collecting food, and rationing their supplies, as they learn to experience the daily challenges of living on the American frontier in the lifestyle of the 1880s.

Joe Riggs and Jason Hanna, fathers from Dallas of twin boys Lucas and Ethan, recently spoke with SciFi Vision about what the experience was like going back to the frontier.
