NEW YORK — No one needs to be reminded of our selfie epidemic, and certainly not when traveling. (Hey, you people mugging for your GoPros — anybody notice the Grand Canyon out there?)
Happily, “100 Miles from Nowhere,” an extreme travelogue from Animal Planet, isn’t swarming with tourists as its trio of intrepid adventurers makes glorious use of video selfies — and gives the tired reality-TV genre a jolt.
“100 Miles” (which premiered last week and airs at 10 p.m. Sunday) stars Matt Galland and his pals Danny Bryson and Blake Josephson as they seek out paths that are not just less travelled but nonexistent, in some of the most remote spots in the world.
Their mission: Celebrate nature, share some laughs and put themselves and their friendship to the test as they cover 100 miles in four days.
