Back to the Frontier, the new reality series by Chip and Joanna Gaines from the Magnolia Network, follows three families – the Lopers, Hanna-Riggs, and Halls – as they live as 1880s homesteaders for eight weeks, abandoning modern conveniences. The families must repair shelters, grow and gather crops, prepare food, and raise livestock, all without running water, electricity or other contemporary tools, relying instead on period-accurate equipment and instruction from historical advisors. Their daily routines will force them to deal with the obstacles of an authentic frontier lifestyle like that of the 1880s.

Lina and Jereme Hall and their daughter Mia spoke with SciFi Vision recently about going back to the frontier and the challenges they faced.
