As the intrepid Robinsons make a simpler life for themselves off the grid, they discover that, in the wilderness, each day brings its own adventure.

The Adventures of the Wilderness Family was released in theaters on December 19, 1975, by Pacific International Enterprises, and grossed $28.8 million.

After moving his wife Pat and two children, eleven-year-old Jennifer and seven-year-old Toby to the wilderness and then building their own cabin near a large lake, they settle in to find out that their new environment isn't always as peaceful as it may appear.

A few days after finishing building their new cabin, Toby and Skip go out hunting one morning with their dog Crust, and succeed in catching a grouse for the family dinner.

Later that day, while climbing along the rocky slopes of a large hill, Skip and his son almost get caught in a deadly landslide.

Despite this frightening encounter, Jenny quickly recovers from the shock of what had happened and is brought home safe and sound.

Boomer informs them that he had been a longtime partner and friend to Ol' Jake, Skip's uncle who lived in the same area where the Robinsons had built their cabin.

Boomer also warns Skip and his family to keep a watchful eye for Three-Toes, a locally notorious grizzly bear that has been known to invade the properties of humans who are living in the mountains.

The family settles in further to their new life, gathering from the surrounding forests and spending time with their new animal friends and Boomer.
