00:54:28,748 --> 00:54:30,439
How does it make you feel,
knowing
903
00:54:30,543 --> 00:54:32,786
you've got a little head start
on the ice fishing?
904
00:54:32,890 --> 00:54:35,927
- I was thrilled that the ice
came in when it did,
905
00:54:36,031 --> 00:54:38,723
um, and I think, had it not,
906
00:54:38,827 --> 00:54:40,760
perhaps my story
would've ended.
907
00:54:40,863 --> 00:54:44,626
And ice fishing,
although it was a blessing,
908
00:54:44,729 --> 00:54:46,110
it wasn't easy.
909
00:54:46,213 --> 00:54:48,285
Um, you know, everyone here
910
00:54:48,388 --> 00:54:51,633
has mentioned how the cold
just runs right through you.
911
00:54:51,736 --> 00:54:54,429
It's harder to keep
your hands warm and feet warm.
912
00:54:54,532 --> 00:54:57,121
And I'm starving as well.
913
00:54:57,224 --> 00:54:59,123
You know, you--
you need more calories
914
00:54:59,226 --> 00:55:00,573
to keep yourself warm,
915
00:55:00,676 --> 00:55:02,782
and so sitting out on the ice
916
00:55:02,885 --> 00:55:05,302
is extremely difficult.
917
00:55:05,405 --> 00:55:06,855
[grunts]
Getting pretty cold.
918
00:55:06,958 --> 00:55:07,890
[laughs weakly]
919
00:55:07,994 --> 00:55:09,685
- Callie, in this episode,
920
00:55:09,789 --> 00:55:12,516
we see you go to great lengths
921
00:55:12,619 --> 00:55:13,896
to get a porcupine.
922
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:17,106
What makes that porcupine
so valuable?
923
00:55:17,210 --> 00:55:19,868
- Well, fat is everything
out there,
924
00:55:19,971 --> 00:55:22,595
and I'm doing great
with rabbits and squirrels,
925
00:55:22,698 --> 00:55:24,321
and I'm very grateful
for them,
926
00:55:24,424 --> 00:55:26,564
but they don't have enough fat
927
00:55:26,668 --> 00:55:29,153
to keep me out there as long
as I want to be out there,
928
00:55:29,256 --> 00:55:31,155
and I basically can't fish
929
00:55:31,258 --> 00:55:33,088
until freeze-up happens,
930
00:55:33,191 --> 00:55:36,988
so that porcupine is basically
my only option for fat
931
00:55:37,092 --> 00:55:39,508
at this point,
since fishing is not an option.
932
00:55:39,612 --> 00:55:41,407
- Well, and dealing
with that porcupine,
933
00:55:41,510 --> 00:55:43,892
you were in
that rock outcropping there.
934
00:55:43,995 --> 00:55:46,619
You know that
in a stress situation,
935
00:55:46,722 --> 00:55:48,793
it's gonna take a while
for safety or anyone
936
00:55:48,897 --> 00:55:50,208
to get to you.
937
00:55:50,312 --> 00:55:51,589
What would've happened
938
00:55:51,693 --> 00:55:53,246
if you'd gotten stuck
in that outcropping?
939
00:55:53,350 --> 00:55:54,730
- Yeah,
I could've gotten stuck
940
00:55:54,834 --> 00:55:57,112
down in that rock.
It was a really tight squeeze,
941
00:55:57,215 --> 00:55:59,286
and it was definitely
a risky situation,
942
00:55:59,390 --> 00:56:02,048
but I was just focused
on making it happen
943
00:56:02,151 --> 00:56:03,808
and not
on what could go wrong.
944
00:56:03,912 --> 00:56:06,639
But if I got stuck,
or if a rock fell on me,
945
00:56:06,742 --> 00:56:09,158
I mean, I would've just
been stuck in there,
946
00:56:09,262 --> 00:56:12,610
and I would've probably just,
you know, died of exposure.
947
00:56:12,714 --> 00:56:15,613
But ultimately,
that's kind of how it is.
948
00:56:15,717 --> 00:56:17,926
You have to take risks
out there
949
00:56:18,029 --> 00:56:20,307
for the potential reward.
950
00:56:20,411 --> 00:56:22,931
We are going to celebrate,
951
00:56:23,034 --> 00:56:24,622
celebrate this little guy!
952
00:56:24,726 --> 00:56:27,487
Oh, my gosh.
Ah!
953
00:56:27,591 --> 00:56:29,144
- You ended up
getting that porcupine.
954
00:56:29,247 --> 00:56:30,594
Uh, you brought it
back to your shelter,
955
00:56:30,697 --> 00:56:31,767
and unfortunately,
956
00:56:31,871 --> 00:56:34,287
you discovered some white spots
on the liver.
957
00:56:34,391 --> 00:56:36,600
How did you weigh
the risk-reward ratio
958
00:56:36,703 --> 00:56:38,256
on that particular situation?
959
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:40,949
- I was so elated
walking back to camp
960
00:56:41,052 --> 00:56:42,433
because I was like,
"I'm gonna go back
961
00:56:42,537 --> 00:56:44,849
to my shelter,
and I'm gonna have a feast,"
962
00:56:44,953 --> 00:56:46,748
and as I'm skinning him
963
00:56:46,851 --> 00:56:48,681
and I see those white spots,
964
00:56:48,784 --> 00:56:51,235
it just--my heart sunk,
you know?
965
00:56:51,338 --> 00:56:54,203
Those white spots, obviously,
we know means disease.
966
00:56:54,307 --> 00:56:57,759
My best guess at the time
was that it was tularemia,
967
00:56:57,862 --> 00:56:59,485
and that's
definitely not something
968
00:56:59,588 --> 00:57:01,038
that I wanted to get.
969
00:57:01,141 --> 00:57:03,937
One of my, you know,
highest moments out there
970
00:57:04,041 --> 00:57:07,734
became a low
because of those white spots.
971
00:57:07,838 --> 00:57:09,874
