Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:16,061 --> 00:00:16,961
There. There.
2
00:00:19,901 --> 00:00:22,001
Ran up the hill.
3
00:00:22,101 --> 00:00:24,581
There's food
all over the place.
4
00:00:34,221 --> 00:00:35,761
It's going to be really hard
to hunt here.
5
00:00:37,742 --> 00:00:39,082
Not good.
6
00:00:39,182 --> 00:00:42,162
I cannot drink the water
out of the lake
7
00:00:42,262 --> 00:00:45,362
without boiling it,
because I know
8
00:00:45,462 --> 00:00:49,242
I will have diarrhoea,
and I will drop out.
9
00:00:49,342 --> 00:00:51,162
Thank God.
10
00:00:51,262 --> 00:00:52,762
I feel a little nauseous.
11
00:00:52,862 --> 00:00:54,242
.
12
00:00:58,142 --> 00:00:59,602
Hello, this is Pablo.
13
00:00:59,702 --> 00:01:02,042
I'm officially tapping out.
14
00:01:02,142 --> 00:01:04,482
I couldn't keep up
with hydrating myself.
15
00:01:06,022 --> 00:01:09,562
I got to throw up, man.
16
00:01:12,703 --> 00:01:15,163
All points,
we have red button alert.
17
00:01:15,263 --> 00:01:17,523
Hopefully, there's many
chapters in this legend,
18
00:01:17,623 --> 00:01:21,523
and, hopefully, it is a lot
more triumphs than failures.
19
00:01:25,623 --> 00:01:27,763
They call this place
the Land of Great Thirst.
20
00:01:27,863 --> 00:01:30,283
The great Karoo Desert,
South Africa.
21
00:01:30,383 --> 00:01:33,363
We are in one of the most
inhospitable places on Earth.
22
00:01:33,463 --> 00:01:35,003
Ten participants.
23
00:01:35,103 --> 00:01:36,803
Whoever can stay
the longest wins.
24
00:01:36,903 --> 00:01:38,203
It's pretty simple.
25
00:01:38,303 --> 00:01:39,603
Oh, I found the baboons.
26
00:01:39,703 --> 00:01:42,083
There's ten of them,
but I only have five arrows.
27
00:01:44,103 --> 00:01:47,124
This place is dry, dry, dry.
28
00:01:47,224 --> 00:01:48,724
The sun's beating down
on you every day.
29
00:01:48,824 --> 00:01:50,244
I'm so tired,
and I'm so thirsty.
30
00:01:50,344 --> 00:01:52,164
Oh, man.
31
00:01:52,264 --> 00:01:53,964
I really don't feel safe
drinking this water.
32
00:01:54,064 --> 00:01:56,724
This is a place to be,
if not feared,
33
00:01:56,824 --> 00:01:59,244
treated with a lot of respect.
34
00:01:59,344 --> 00:02:01,764
I changed my mind!
35
00:02:03,464 --> 00:02:04,684
Look at the size
of that thing.
36
00:02:04,784 --> 00:02:06,284
There's a big herd
of wildebeest right there.
37
00:02:06,384 --> 00:02:07,324
Rhino tracks.
38
00:02:07,424 --> 00:02:09,564
Meat's back
on the menu, boys.
39
00:02:09,664 --> 00:02:11,884
They call Cape Buffalo
the black death for a reason.
40
00:02:11,984 --> 00:02:13,204
They'll just
straight up kill you.
41
00:02:13,304 --> 00:02:14,924
We don't control the game.
42
00:02:15,024 --> 00:02:17,004
Here you go.
Flooding.
43
00:02:17,104 --> 00:02:18,524
This is nothing compared
to what's coming.
44
00:02:18,624 --> 00:02:20,284
It hurts so much, man.
45
00:02:20,384 --> 00:02:21,564
It's freaking ice.
46
00:02:21,664 --> 00:02:23,525
So the question is,
how strong of a mind
47
00:02:23,625 --> 00:02:24,925
do you need to have
to win this?
48
00:02:25,025 --> 00:02:26,325
Whoo!
49
00:02:26,425 --> 00:02:28,045
What the
did I get myself into?
50
00:02:28,145 --> 00:02:30,365
Long cold night.
51
00:02:32,185 --> 00:02:34,805
The last one to tap walks
out of here with 500 grand.
52
00:02:36,145 --> 00:02:37,325
This is one of
the hardest things
53
00:02:37,425 --> 00:02:38,565
that a person
can do in their life.
54
00:02:38,665 --> 00:02:40,285
Oh, my gosh.
55
00:02:40,385 --> 00:02:42,325
It's another great day
in Africa.
56
00:03:07,986 --> 00:03:10,806
Well, good morning from
57
00:03:10,906 --> 00:03:14,046
beautiful, cold, Africa.
58
00:03:14,146 --> 00:03:16,806
It was a brutal night.
59
00:03:16,906 --> 00:03:20,086
I think it's the coldest
it's ever been.
60
00:03:20,186 --> 00:03:24,646
I've only got a blanket
and a bivy sack and a fire.
61
00:03:24,746 --> 00:03:29,246
So I'm thinking about
beefing up my shelter.
62
00:03:29,346 --> 00:03:30,926
I think that's
what I have to do
63
00:03:31,026 --> 00:03:33,327
to maintain
64
00:03:33,427 --> 00:03:37,167
my time out here.
65
00:03:41,587 --> 00:03:44,327
All right, well,
I'm going to get started.
66
00:03:44,427 --> 00:03:47,327
My survival philosophy is,
67
00:03:47,427 --> 00:03:49,407
if you plan on doing
the days ahead stuff,
68
00:03:49,507 --> 00:03:52,127
the hourly stuff
could kill you.
69
00:03:52,227 --> 00:03:54,887
Days is water, weeks is food,
70
00:03:54,987 --> 00:03:57,887
but hours is body temperature.
71
00:03:57,987 --> 00:04:00,327
Last two nights,
it just gets cold.
72
00:04:00,427 --> 00:04:02,087
That's just
going to get worse.
73
00:04:02,187 --> 00:04:06,207
So right now, my shelter,
that's my priority.
74
00:04:06,307 --> 00:04:08,567
Now, got to mix it in between.
75
00:04:10,708 --> 00:04:13,488
All the books
you read about Africa
76
00:04:13,588 --> 00:04:17,008
talk about using grasses
as thatch,
77
00:04:17,108 --> 00:04:20,328
but there's not a lot
of grass in my area,
78
00:04:20,428 --> 00:04:24,088
and so I'm using bulrush.
79
00:04:24,188 --> 00:04:28,408
But you can see, this is going
to take a hell of a long time.
80
00:04:28,508 --> 00:04:31,248
But if it keeps me warm.
81
00:04:31,348 --> 00:04:34,088
Thatching is to protect you
from sunlight.
82
00:04:34,188 --> 00:04:35,288
It's to protect you from wind.
83
00:04:35,388 --> 00:04:36,728
It's your protection
from rain.
84
00:04:36,828 --> 00:04:39,808
But rain is probably
not going to be an issue
85
00:04:39,908 --> 00:04:41,688
because of the dry season.
86
00:04:44,108 --> 00:04:45,729
It needs to be thicker.
87
00:04:48,309 --> 00:04:50,249
I'm going to get more.
88
00:04:56,029 --> 00:04:59,089
I cut most of the reeds
up there this morning.
89
00:04:59,189 --> 00:05:02,409
So I can take
the next batch up,
90
00:05:02,509 --> 00:05:05,889
which is a task.
91
00:05:05,989 --> 00:05:08,289
This has been a dream to
come here since I was a kid,
92
00:05:08,389 --> 00:05:10,769
and I had a great childhood.
93
00:05:10,869 --> 00:05:12,249
Yee-haw.
94
00:05:12,349 --> 00:05:14,889
My mom and dad bought
a cabin in Kentucky
95
00:05:14,989 --> 00:05:16,529
out in the middle of nowhere.
96
00:05:16,629 --> 00:05:20,490
I had thousands of acres
of woods to explore.
97
00:05:20,590 --> 00:05:23,290
And so I grew up
being a feral kid.
98
00:05:23,390 --> 00:05:25,530
Ah.
99
00:05:25,630 --> 00:05:27,330
You know,
living out in the woods,
100
00:05:27,430 --> 00:05:29,730
and go walking
miles and miles,
101
00:05:29,830 --> 00:05:32,090
and your parents didn't know
where you were at,
102
00:05:32,190 --> 00:05:34,410
or what you were doing,
and looking for stuff,
103
00:05:34,510 --> 00:05:37,650
and using sticks,
and bones, and rocks,
104
00:05:37,750 --> 00:05:40,410
and didn't realise some
of the stuff I was doing
105
00:05:40,510 --> 00:05:43,570
was primitive technology.
106
00:05:43,670 --> 00:05:47,290
Being out here,
it feels like that.
107
00:05:47,390 --> 00:05:48,970
Oh.
108
00:05:49,070 --> 00:05:51,290
It's finished enough for today.
109
00:05:53,830 --> 00:05:55,891
But I hope I'll be able
to see some type of change
110
00:05:55,991 --> 00:06:00,011
and not be freezing tonight.
111
00:06:00,111 --> 00:06:02,111
I don't know.
We'll see.
112
00:06:16,031 --> 00:06:17,251
Fire.
113
00:06:19,111 --> 00:06:22,531
♪ The best part
of waking up ♪
114
00:06:22,631 --> 00:06:26,151
♪ Is buffalo thorn
in your cup ♪
115
00:06:28,951 --> 00:06:30,952
This water is still
going to be really hot.
116
00:06:34,192 --> 00:06:36,192
Awesome.
117
00:06:37,752 --> 00:06:39,752
Let that cool.
118
00:06:44,032 --> 00:06:49,532
I'm just taking the decorative
stitching off this belt
119
00:06:49,632 --> 00:06:52,572
so that I can use it
for a fishing lure.
120
00:06:52,672 --> 00:06:55,212
Let's see.
121
00:06:55,312 --> 00:06:57,292
Ooh, that could be nice
on the surface.
122
00:06:58,912 --> 00:07:01,612
Hmm.
123
00:07:01,712 --> 00:07:04,332
I'm just hoping
it looks enticing.
124
00:07:06,673 --> 00:07:09,333
OK, time for the big reveal.
125
00:07:12,593 --> 00:07:18,253
So the white
is from my underwear tag.
126
00:07:18,353 --> 00:07:20,733
This is a feather I found.
127
00:07:20,833 --> 00:07:22,773
The red is from
the stitching on my belt,
128
00:07:22,873 --> 00:07:25,693
and the brown is from
the stitching on my belt.
129
00:07:25,793 --> 00:07:29,333
I'd buy that.
130
00:07:29,433 --> 00:07:31,093
Would you?
131
00:07:31,193 --> 00:07:33,533
I'd definitely buy that.
132
00:07:37,433 --> 00:07:39,413
I don't really know
what these fish like,
133
00:07:39,513 --> 00:07:42,854
so I'm going to have to do
some experimenting.
134
00:07:42,954 --> 00:07:47,334
See if I can find
a shorter route to the water.
135
00:07:47,434 --> 00:07:50,774
I grew up in rural Vermont
in a small house
136
00:07:50,874 --> 00:07:54,134
that my mom and stepfather
made themselves.
137
00:07:54,234 --> 00:07:57,614
As a kid, I was hyperactive.
138
00:07:57,714 --> 00:07:59,174
I liked to know
how things work,
139
00:07:59,274 --> 00:08:02,174
but that usually just meant
I took them apart,
140
00:08:02,274 --> 00:08:03,694
and that was something
that drove
141
00:08:03,794 --> 00:08:07,014
my father in particular crazy.
142
00:08:07,114 --> 00:08:08,534
Oh.
143
00:08:08,634 --> 00:08:12,134
An entire leg,
complete with hooves.
144
00:08:12,234 --> 00:08:14,574
That's super cool.
145
00:08:14,674 --> 00:08:17,175
My folks got divorced
when I was five,
146
00:08:17,275 --> 00:08:19,775
but I visited my father
every other weekend.
147
00:08:19,875 --> 00:08:23,975
He was an avid fisherman
and hunter.
148
00:08:24,075 --> 00:08:26,455
Whoa.
149
00:08:26,555 --> 00:08:28,735
Holy [bleep].
150
00:08:28,835 --> 00:08:31,255
Here's the entire carcass.
151
00:08:31,355 --> 00:08:32,735
Wow.
152
00:08:32,835 --> 00:08:35,215
Look at the size of that.
It's huge.
153
00:08:38,235 --> 00:08:40,815
Those horns are amazing.
154
00:08:40,915 --> 00:08:42,895
This isn't that old really.
155
00:08:42,995 --> 00:08:46,215
So something took down
an animal this big.
156
00:08:47,995 --> 00:08:52,056
My dad, he loved me, but he
had an intensity about him
157
00:08:52,156 --> 00:08:55,896
that made it hard to know
what exactly he was thinking
158
00:08:55,996 --> 00:08:58,696
or what he might
expect of you,
159
00:08:58,796 --> 00:09:01,656
and I always found that
pretty challenging.
160
00:09:01,756 --> 00:09:04,296
I often felt like there was
something I was supposed
161
00:09:04,396 --> 00:09:06,296
to be doing,
but I wasn't doing it,
162
00:09:06,396 --> 00:09:08,576
or I wasn't
doing it well enough.
163
00:09:10,236 --> 00:09:11,936
Just threw the line in.
164
00:09:15,636 --> 00:09:18,536
Belt and boxers lure
is on the line,
165
00:09:18,636 --> 00:09:21,856
just letting it sit
for a second.
166
00:09:21,956 --> 00:09:23,856
I think my relationship
with my dad
167
00:09:23,956 --> 00:09:26,336
does drive me
to an extent now,
168
00:09:26,436 --> 00:09:29,577
and some of that comes
from a desire
169
00:09:29,677 --> 00:09:31,937
to prove that I'm worthy.
170
00:09:32,037 --> 00:09:35,817
And so while he's long gone
and he never said, you know,
171
00:09:35,917 --> 00:09:37,617
"You need to go out
and survive
172
00:09:37,717 --> 00:09:39,657
in the wilds of Africa,"
173
00:09:39,757 --> 00:09:42,377
I think there's a part of me
that wants to say,
174
00:09:42,477 --> 00:09:44,897
"Hey, look what I can do."
175
00:09:50,437 --> 00:09:52,017
No sign of buffalo.
176
00:09:52,117 --> 00:09:54,057
Oh.
Whoa, whoa.
177
00:09:54,157 --> 00:09:55,937
Whoa, whoa.
Holy [bleep].
178
00:09:56,037 --> 00:09:57,777
Holy [bleep].
Holy [bleep].
179
00:09:57,877 --> 00:10:00,737
Holy [bleep].
Holy [bleep]. Holy [bleep].
180
00:10:00,837 --> 00:10:02,257
Did I say holy [bleep]?
Wow.
181
00:10:02,357 --> 00:10:03,698
Wow.
I got a fish.
182
00:10:03,798 --> 00:10:04,778
I got a [bleep] fish.
183
00:10:04,878 --> 00:10:06,458
Holy [bleep].
Oh, [bleep].
184
00:10:12,398 --> 00:10:14,778
Wow. Wow.
I got a fish.
185
00:10:14,878 --> 00:10:16,298
I got a [bleep] fish.
Holy [bleep].
186
00:10:16,398 --> 00:10:20,018
Oh.
Oh.
187
00:10:20,118 --> 00:10:22,418
Oh.
188
00:10:22,518 --> 00:10:23,818
I had a fish.
189
00:10:26,318 --> 00:10:30,098
Well, that's, I guess,
positive, right?
190
00:10:30,198 --> 00:10:33,498
I had a fish on.
191
00:10:33,598 --> 00:10:35,378
It's hard not
to feel disappointed,
192
00:10:35,478 --> 00:10:37,858
but in reality,
that's one step closer
193
00:10:37,958 --> 00:10:40,379
to having a fish in hand.
194
00:10:40,479 --> 00:10:43,419
Add it to the experiments.
195
00:10:43,519 --> 00:10:46,019
First I determine
that there are fish there,
196
00:10:46,119 --> 00:10:48,499
and I try one lure,
I try another,
197
00:10:48,599 --> 00:10:52,179
try evening, try morning,
try on the bottom,
198
00:10:52,279 --> 00:10:53,979
try on the surface.
199
00:10:54,079 --> 00:10:56,019
I don't know what
these fish are all about.
200
00:10:56,119 --> 00:10:57,739
I don't know their behaviours,
201
00:10:57,839 --> 00:11:01,099
so I've got no choice but
to just keep trying stuff.
202
00:11:06,959 --> 00:11:09,419
Well, crap.
203
00:11:09,519 --> 00:11:11,579
OK, come on.
204
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,139
No fish,
205
00:11:13,239 --> 00:11:15,980
so there's something
I want to try.
206
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,260
It's funny, all of my plans,
207
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,940
you know, it kind of
all goes out the window
208
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,300
when you're hungry.
209
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,500
Oh, that could be--
210
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,300
that's got potential.
211
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:32,300
Scorpion time.
212
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:39,860
I stick my knife into the hole
so it will come out.
213
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:43,900
And got to cut
that stinger off.
214
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:51,661
OK, we'll give this guy
a quick death.
215
00:11:54,081 --> 00:11:57,261
So what we're left with
is that,
216
00:11:57,361 --> 00:12:00,421
which I'm going to roast
right now.
217
00:12:00,521 --> 00:12:03,061
I know that scorpions
are edible,
218
00:12:03,161 --> 00:12:06,221
and this is probably
the time to try it.
219
00:12:06,321 --> 00:12:09,381
I mean, I'm feeling good
about the plants I've found.
220
00:12:09,481 --> 00:12:11,621
The crabs are good,
221
00:12:11,721 --> 00:12:14,861
but I don't see them
all the time.
222
00:12:14,961 --> 00:12:17,861
What kind of survivalist
would I be
223
00:12:17,961 --> 00:12:20,501
if I had never
tried a scorpion?
224
00:12:20,601 --> 00:12:22,701
When my dad
got into something,
225
00:12:22,801 --> 00:12:24,742
he got way into something
226
00:12:24,842 --> 00:12:28,222
and was very goal-focused,
227
00:12:28,322 --> 00:12:32,262
and because of that, I learned
to be very self-critical.
228
00:12:32,362 --> 00:12:33,982
Scorpion kebab.
229
00:12:34,082 --> 00:12:36,142
But out here, I'm learning
230
00:12:36,242 --> 00:12:38,622
that I'm never
going to be perfect,
231
00:12:38,722 --> 00:12:41,582
and I think realising that
and being OK with it
232
00:12:41,682 --> 00:12:43,822
is a huge step,
233
00:12:43,922 --> 00:12:47,182
and I'm starting to learn
to see things a different way.
234
00:12:47,282 --> 00:12:49,862
I can tell you
how this is going to taste.
235
00:12:49,962 --> 00:12:51,422
Burned.
236
00:12:53,482 --> 00:12:57,582
Because I am going to cook
the hell out of it.
237
00:12:57,682 --> 00:12:59,742
Even though
the fishing situation
238
00:12:59,842 --> 00:13:02,743
has been a little maddening,
239
00:13:02,843 --> 00:13:04,383
there's a story
about Edison that he tried
240
00:13:04,483 --> 00:13:06,543
almost 10,000 things
to make the filament
241
00:13:06,643 --> 00:13:07,863
for the light bulb,
242
00:13:07,963 --> 00:13:09,303
and someone asked him, like,
243
00:13:09,403 --> 00:13:11,703
"How can you deal
with that much failure?"
244
00:13:11,803 --> 00:13:13,103
He said, "Failure?
245
00:13:13,203 --> 00:13:18,103
"I've discovered 9,999 things
246
00:13:18,203 --> 00:13:20,623
"that aren't the filament
for a light bulb.
247
00:13:20,723 --> 00:13:22,943
I've succeeded."
248
00:13:23,043 --> 00:13:25,583
I think it's time.
249
00:13:25,683 --> 00:13:29,943
It's time for a scorpion kebab.
250
00:13:37,124 --> 00:13:39,124
Mmm.
251
00:13:40,604 --> 00:13:42,264
Wow.
252
00:13:42,364 --> 00:13:43,384
It's good.
253
00:13:43,484 --> 00:13:47,224
I mean, it's burned,
but it's good.
254
00:13:47,324 --> 00:13:52,124
Maybe with a little bit of
a seafood aftertaste.
255
00:13:56,284 --> 00:13:58,664
Thumbs-up on the scorpion.
256
00:14:10,644 --> 00:14:13,825
Today, I need
to move my shelter
257
00:14:13,925 --> 00:14:19,785
because this wetness
258
00:14:19,885 --> 00:14:22,865
was slowly creeping up,
259
00:14:22,965 --> 00:14:25,305
and now it's at the fire pit.
260
00:14:25,405 --> 00:14:29,865
It seems like I need to move
my camp from here
261
00:14:29,965 --> 00:14:32,985
to just over there.
262
00:14:33,085 --> 00:14:38,225
I am happy the way my shelter
is built is light, mobile...
263
00:14:38,325 --> 00:14:39,945
come on.
264
00:14:40,045 --> 00:14:42,185
And I don't have
to disassemble it.
265
00:14:47,846 --> 00:14:49,826
I hope this is a good spot.
266
00:14:53,326 --> 00:14:55,546
OK, should do something
about fire pit.
267
00:14:55,646 --> 00:14:58,146
I think I need to go closer.
268
00:14:58,246 --> 00:15:02,346
First thing first,
gather more firewood.
269
00:15:02,446 --> 00:15:04,506
I don't have a ferro rod,
so I have to keep
270
00:15:04,606 --> 00:15:07,426
the fire alive all the time.
271
00:15:07,526 --> 00:15:10,066
At least there is a lot
of dead wood on the ground.
272
00:15:10,166 --> 00:15:13,746
Dead wood means
easy access to firewood.
273
00:15:13,846 --> 00:15:16,026
All right, I'm feeling thirsty.
274
00:15:19,606 --> 00:15:22,147
I am taking water
very seriously.
275
00:15:22,247 --> 00:15:26,027
Boil, filter,
drink as much as I can.
276
00:15:26,127 --> 00:15:29,867
About 4,
possibly 5 litres a day.
277
00:15:29,967 --> 00:15:32,027
Water is boiling.
278
00:15:32,127 --> 00:15:35,507
OK, let's try this.
279
00:15:35,607 --> 00:15:39,907
Ah, sitting down in my shelter.
280
00:15:40,007 --> 00:15:41,667
It's shady.
281
00:15:41,767 --> 00:15:43,947
It's nice.
282
00:15:44,047 --> 00:15:48,827
OK, right now, I need
to find something to eat.
283
00:15:50,887 --> 00:15:52,787
Hunting is not going well.
284
00:15:52,887 --> 00:15:55,307
I see a lot of
animal tracks here,
285
00:15:55,407 --> 00:15:58,028
but I haven't seen anything
that I can hunt.
286
00:15:58,128 --> 00:16:01,028
Maybe they're spooked
by my presence,
287
00:16:01,128 --> 00:16:04,868
and that not bringing a
ferro rod was a bad strategy.
288
00:16:04,968 --> 00:16:07,988
So I'm going to have
to try to catch fish,
289
00:16:08,088 --> 00:16:10,468
but I did not bring
a fishing kit
290
00:16:10,568 --> 00:16:12,668
as one of the ten items.
291
00:16:12,768 --> 00:16:16,788
Now that my fishing rods
are ready,
292
00:16:16,888 --> 00:16:20,548
I need to find
a good fishing spot.
293
00:16:20,648 --> 00:16:23,828
I have bank line,
and I made some hooks.
294
00:16:23,928 --> 00:16:26,588
Oh, a piece of wire.
295
00:16:26,688 --> 00:16:28,068
That could come in handy.
296
00:16:28,168 --> 00:16:29,908
I found a piece of wire.
297
00:16:30,008 --> 00:16:34,069
I heat it up in the fire, and
I bend it with my multi-tool
298
00:16:34,169 --> 00:16:36,429
into a round hook.
299
00:16:36,529 --> 00:16:38,529
That should do it.
300
00:16:42,049 --> 00:16:45,909
I believe that fishing is
one of the stronger aspects
301
00:16:46,009 --> 00:16:47,709
of my survival abilities.
302
00:16:47,809 --> 00:16:51,269
And from my experience,
I knew I would be able
303
00:16:51,369 --> 00:16:54,309
to find something
that I can use as a hook.
304
00:16:57,409 --> 00:17:00,749
I chose not to have
a long line
305
00:17:00,849 --> 00:17:02,949
because the fish
comes close to the shore,
306
00:17:03,049 --> 00:17:07,249
and the hook should be
just under the water level.
307
00:17:14,330 --> 00:17:16,350
One fish would be great.
308
00:17:16,450 --> 00:17:19,990
The ability to adapt
to the situation you're in,
309
00:17:20,090 --> 00:17:22,470
for me,
is the way of survival.
310
00:17:35,290 --> 00:17:37,430
I don't feel accomplished
about today.
311
00:17:39,930 --> 00:17:41,930
I'm hungry.
312
00:17:50,211 --> 00:17:52,911
Food security,
that's what I need.
313
00:17:57,931 --> 00:18:00,471
I feel like I hear something.
314
00:18:00,571 --> 00:18:02,851
That's by the water.
315
00:18:08,931 --> 00:18:10,591
What is that?
316
00:18:12,251 --> 00:18:14,831
Oh, we're in business.
317
00:18:18,331 --> 00:18:20,312
Check this out.
318
00:18:20,412 --> 00:18:24,272
I caught a fish.
319
00:18:24,372 --> 00:18:26,372
OK.
320
00:18:27,932 --> 00:18:30,832
Wow, it's a catfish.
321
00:18:30,932 --> 00:18:33,952
I would love to kiss it
right now.
322
00:18:34,052 --> 00:18:36,352
Tonight, I'm eating.
323
00:18:38,692 --> 00:18:42,072
This catfish right here
is a lot of meat.
324
00:18:42,172 --> 00:18:45,072
Look at that.
Don't you love it?
325
00:18:45,172 --> 00:18:48,552
And I know catfish
is fatty fish.
326
00:18:48,652 --> 00:18:51,152
She's a good size.
327
00:18:51,252 --> 00:18:54,933
Thank God I have
something to eat.
328
00:18:56,613 --> 00:18:58,393
The head,
I'm going to eat first,
329
00:18:58,493 --> 00:19:02,673
because head is one of
the parts of the fish
330
00:19:02,773 --> 00:19:04,593
that really hard to preserve.
331
00:19:08,413 --> 00:19:10,393
I'll put fish in the pot.
332
00:19:18,093 --> 00:19:22,753
From childhood, the outdoors
gave me a sense of peace,
333
00:19:22,853 --> 00:19:25,393
sense of balance.
334
00:19:25,493 --> 00:19:28,513
I felt like I'm
more connected to this
335
00:19:28,613 --> 00:19:31,314
than to a life in a city,
336
00:19:31,414 --> 00:19:33,394
because life in the city
is stressful.
337
00:19:36,494 --> 00:19:39,634
Yes, I can see
it's falling apart.
338
00:19:39,734 --> 00:19:43,274
In Kyrgyzstan,
we lived in a capital city,
339
00:19:43,374 --> 00:19:45,354
in a tiny apartment.
340
00:19:45,454 --> 00:19:48,034
Oh, so good.
341
00:19:48,134 --> 00:19:50,874
Partially because of that,
I talked to Dina,
342
00:19:50,974 --> 00:19:53,154
my wife.
I said, "We need to go."
343
00:19:53,254 --> 00:19:55,354
We already had
our oldest daughter,
344
00:19:55,454 --> 00:19:59,434
and we were able
to scramble up $1,500 U.S.
345
00:19:59,534 --> 00:20:01,394
Tastes very good.
346
00:20:01,494 --> 00:20:04,474
In the United States,
we stayed in Ohio
347
00:20:04,574 --> 00:20:07,315
three years before
we moved to Canada
348
00:20:07,415 --> 00:20:09,755
to a city called Kitchener.
349
00:20:09,855 --> 00:20:14,955
But I realised that I am still
trapped in this city cycle.
350
00:20:15,055 --> 00:20:19,635
Go to work, make money,
spend money, go to work.
351
00:20:21,375 --> 00:20:24,555
The only thing
it's missing is my wife.
352
00:20:24,655 --> 00:20:27,595
That's why I ran away
in the bush.
353
00:20:27,695 --> 00:20:32,275
I wanted to leave
my children a legacy
354
00:20:32,375 --> 00:20:35,355
that does not come
with chains.
355
00:20:35,455 --> 00:20:38,435
Now, they'll know what
a connection to land is.
356
00:20:38,535 --> 00:20:42,876
They will know the
value of nature itself.
357
00:20:42,976 --> 00:20:45,236
Also, I'm glad I brought salt.
358
00:20:45,336 --> 00:20:48,676
Without salt, it wouldn't
have tasted so good.
359
00:20:48,776 --> 00:20:51,516
Catching fish
gives me promise,
360
00:20:51,616 --> 00:20:55,356
gives me great hope
for a comfortable stay.
361
00:20:57,096 --> 00:20:58,316
Thank you, nature.
Thank you.
362
00:20:58,416 --> 00:20:59,796
Thank you.
Thank you.
363
00:20:59,896 --> 00:21:02,596
Thank you, nature.
364
00:21:21,777 --> 00:21:24,517
Another day, another couple
of prickly pears.
365
00:21:32,577 --> 00:21:33,877
I don't know
if you can see this,
366
00:21:33,977 --> 00:21:38,157
but I can see nine waterbuck
367
00:21:38,257 --> 00:21:41,617
grazing on that western side
of the hill.
368
00:21:43,697 --> 00:21:45,697
It's exciting.
369
00:21:48,337 --> 00:21:51,158
If I can get a sense
of their routine,
370
00:21:51,258 --> 00:21:54,678
I could at some point
ambush them.
371
00:21:58,538 --> 00:21:59,518
All right.
372
00:21:59,618 --> 00:22:01,798
I need to go fishing.
373
00:22:03,538 --> 00:22:06,118
Not ready to set up
little ambush spots yet,
374
00:22:06,218 --> 00:22:07,558
but I'm getting ready.
375
00:22:07,658 --> 00:22:09,598
I feel like I need to
dial the fish in first,
376
00:22:09,698 --> 00:22:12,558
and then I'll be able
to do that.
377
00:22:12,658 --> 00:22:14,958
I think if I just get excited
and push right up there,
378
00:22:15,058 --> 00:22:16,798
I could push them
right out of the valley,
379
00:22:16,898 --> 00:22:18,398
so I don't want to do that.
380
00:22:18,498 --> 00:22:20,598
Here we go.
381
00:22:20,698 --> 00:22:22,278
I'm going to try
to be really patient
382
00:22:22,378 --> 00:22:24,958
because there's a long time
I've got here.
383
00:22:25,058 --> 00:22:28,599
And next, fishing adventure.
384
00:22:28,699 --> 00:22:32,239
In the meantime,
I've got lots of plant food.
385
00:22:32,339 --> 00:22:34,799
I am eating.
That's a great foundation.
386
00:22:34,899 --> 00:22:38,319
But, obviously, I would
like it to include more meat.
387
00:22:38,419 --> 00:22:39,639
There's a lot of rocks here,
388
00:22:39,739 --> 00:22:42,599
so this is a good area
in terms of fishing
389
00:22:42,699 --> 00:22:44,599
for catfish and bottom feeders
390
00:22:44,699 --> 00:22:47,959
like that fish
I got the other night.
391
00:22:48,059 --> 00:22:51,399
I'm not going to give up
until I get fish.
392
00:22:51,499 --> 00:22:56,119
Again, must have fish.
393
00:22:56,219 --> 00:22:59,719
My little boy, Hunter,
he's quite the fisherman.
394
00:22:59,819 --> 00:23:03,060
Hopefully, he'll bring me
luck with the fishing.
395
00:23:05,340 --> 00:23:10,120
Today is his 12th birthday,
396
00:23:10,220 --> 00:23:15,120
and wish I could be there.
12 years old, it's amazing.
397
00:23:15,220 --> 00:23:18,400
He's growing up to just be
such a beautiful young man.
398
00:23:20,260 --> 00:23:23,480
Come on.
Where are you guys?
399
00:23:23,580 --> 00:23:27,680
I home-birthed both my kids,
Ella and Hunter.
400
00:23:27,780 --> 00:23:32,360
Motherhood is a foundational
part of my life.
401
00:23:32,460 --> 00:23:33,680
I love it,
402
00:23:33,780 --> 00:23:37,521
but coming into this,
I've had a lot change.
403
00:23:37,621 --> 00:23:41,361
My relationship
with my partner
404
00:23:41,461 --> 00:23:44,761
of 20 years has come to
an end,
405
00:23:44,861 --> 00:23:48,601
and that was really hard
for all of us,
406
00:23:48,701 --> 00:23:52,081
and I worry about that
with my kids.
407
00:23:52,181 --> 00:23:53,641
Nothing yet.
408
00:23:55,541 --> 00:23:57,881
You can't help it as a mum
wanting to know
409
00:23:57,981 --> 00:24:00,161
that you're just not
mucking your kids up.
410
00:24:00,261 --> 00:24:02,241
But it's tricky.
411
00:24:02,341 --> 00:24:05,161
No fish.
Damn it.
412
00:24:06,741 --> 00:24:09,281
Hunter's birthday,
it is a reminder
413
00:24:09,381 --> 00:24:12,241
of my motivation to be here.
414
00:24:12,341 --> 00:24:15,762
If I win, I could buy us
a house to live in.
415
00:24:15,862 --> 00:24:18,562
It would be a huge thing
for me and my kids.
416
00:24:18,662 --> 00:24:22,682
And we can start a completely
new phase in our lives.
417
00:24:22,782 --> 00:24:24,842
I have to
make it work somehow.
418
00:24:26,502 --> 00:24:28,502
What is that?
419
00:24:30,302 --> 00:24:32,302
Oh, my God, guys.
420
00:24:34,222 --> 00:24:35,762
Oh, that's protein.
421
00:24:37,862 --> 00:24:42,962
Get my boots back on and see
if I can snare that ibis.
422
00:24:44,942 --> 00:24:48,363
Can't really afford
to let opportunities go.
423
00:25:11,543 --> 00:25:13,363
I think I can shoot
that ibis.
424
00:25:26,424 --> 00:25:28,284
Bummer.
425
00:25:28,384 --> 00:25:30,764
Bums me out.
426
00:25:30,864 --> 00:25:32,924
I mean, it was straight,
the shot.
427
00:25:33,024 --> 00:25:35,884
It just-- it was too low.
428
00:25:35,984 --> 00:25:37,724
God, that would have felt good.
429
00:25:37,824 --> 00:25:42,964
So good if it was
a crunchy hit.
430
00:25:43,064 --> 00:25:45,484
Bummed I didn't manage
to get that ibis
431
00:25:45,584 --> 00:25:47,924
'cause I really was
hungry for him.
432
00:25:48,024 --> 00:25:52,004
And I'm still
hardly got any fish.
433
00:25:52,104 --> 00:25:56,364
Could take me a bit of time
to dial in my food.
434
00:26:01,505 --> 00:26:03,205
Probably just say,
"Just keep going.
435
00:26:03,305 --> 00:26:05,845
Keep fishing, Mom."
436
00:26:05,945 --> 00:26:09,205
I wouldn't mind throwing
my two lines in tonight.
437
00:26:09,305 --> 00:26:13,325
Eventually,
I will have consistency.
438
00:26:13,425 --> 00:26:16,605
It's a journey, this thing.
439
00:26:16,705 --> 00:26:19,485
Out here, it's a big
transformational time
440
00:26:19,585 --> 00:26:21,205
for me right now.
441
00:26:21,305 --> 00:26:24,845
I'm coming out of building
my life with another human,
442
00:26:24,945 --> 00:26:29,765
and now, I'm building
my life by myself
443
00:26:29,865 --> 00:26:32,885
with looking after my kids.
444
00:26:32,985 --> 00:26:35,886
So I'm off fishing again.
445
00:26:35,986 --> 00:26:38,406
And I'm 46.
446
00:26:38,506 --> 00:26:40,126
It's almost like
I'm nearly blindfolded
447
00:26:40,226 --> 00:26:42,926
and with full faith,
just surrender,
448
00:26:43,026 --> 00:26:45,126
and just say yes
to what's coming,
449
00:26:45,226 --> 00:26:47,726
but it's been
really challenging,
450
00:26:47,826 --> 00:26:50,926
the loss of having a family,
and having a mom and a dad,
451
00:26:51,026 --> 00:26:52,926
and the two kids,
and going through
452
00:26:53,026 --> 00:26:57,166
the ups and downs of life,
but sticking it out together.
453
00:26:57,266 --> 00:27:02,366
Out here, this is a journey
of finding my independence
454
00:27:02,466 --> 00:27:05,846
and standing
on my own two feet.
455
00:27:05,946 --> 00:27:08,406
OK, so I've got my lines in.
456
00:27:08,506 --> 00:27:10,687
I feel like
I'm about to embark
457
00:27:10,787 --> 00:27:14,967
on creating a completely
new phase in my life.
458
00:27:17,067 --> 00:27:20,247
Yeah, really just trusting
in the process
459
00:27:20,347 --> 00:27:24,487
that this is where
I'm meant to be.
460
00:27:26,187 --> 00:27:28,287
It feels like
I'll be different
461
00:27:28,387 --> 00:27:31,627
when I leave.
I can feel that already.
462
00:27:53,468 --> 00:27:56,688
Oh, shoot.
Line broke.
463
00:27:56,788 --> 00:28:00,148
I just lost another hook.
Damn it.
464
00:28:14,308 --> 00:28:16,308
There's ants living in there.
465
00:28:20,549 --> 00:28:22,549
I'm trying to get bait.
466
00:28:33,389 --> 00:28:34,769
Oh, yeah.
467
00:28:34,869 --> 00:28:37,569
There's a nice, big scorpion.
468
00:28:37,669 --> 00:28:39,569
This one will make
some good bait.
469
00:28:39,669 --> 00:28:42,289
So I'll cut the stinger
off this one.
470
00:28:52,549 --> 00:28:54,449
Actually, I might start
eating these guys.
471
00:28:54,549 --> 00:28:58,130
They're pretty decent size.
472
00:28:58,230 --> 00:29:00,090
It's definitely
a little sauce of protein.
473
00:29:00,190 --> 00:29:01,290
For now, I'm going to
use them for bait,
474
00:29:01,390 --> 00:29:04,730
but I think it
might come to eating.
475
00:29:04,830 --> 00:29:06,130
We'll see.
476
00:29:08,910 --> 00:29:11,010
But before I fish
with that scorpion,
477
00:29:11,110 --> 00:29:13,090
I'm going to get started
working on that line,
478
00:29:13,190 --> 00:29:16,410
see if I can make a play
on these big catfish.
479
00:29:16,510 --> 00:29:19,170
This 30-pound test
is not working,
480
00:29:19,270 --> 00:29:23,210
so I'm going to make
a four-ply line here
481
00:29:23,310 --> 00:29:27,450
that should have 120-pound
breaking strength.
482
00:29:30,150 --> 00:29:33,331
The giant catfish
here in this spot
483
00:29:33,431 --> 00:29:36,771
keep breaking
my 30-pound test line.
484
00:29:36,871 --> 00:29:39,771
I can barely hold them,
and the line just snaps.
485
00:29:39,871 --> 00:29:43,011
I'm going through hooks
at an alarming rate.
486
00:29:43,111 --> 00:29:45,651
So I'm going to put
an end to that here.
487
00:29:45,751 --> 00:29:48,771
Here, we have two lines.
488
00:29:48,871 --> 00:29:50,851
Go down to the other end,
and I'm going to twist these.
489
00:29:53,431 --> 00:29:55,011
Don't want to twist it
too much,
490
00:29:55,111 --> 00:29:58,131
just the right amount
of tension.
491
00:30:00,351 --> 00:30:01,691
And it's been
since I was a kid
492
00:30:01,791 --> 00:30:04,691
that I actually did
this technique.
493
00:30:04,791 --> 00:30:08,052
As a child, I definitely
had that sense of wonder
494
00:30:08,152 --> 00:30:10,532
about nature
and primitive things,
495
00:30:10,632 --> 00:30:14,812
and thanks to my father for
providing that opportunity
496
00:30:14,912 --> 00:30:18,092
for his children to sleep
on the ground, to get hungry,
497
00:30:18,192 --> 00:30:21,212
to try and figure out
how to find food for real.
498
00:30:23,392 --> 00:30:24,572
Twist looks good.
499
00:30:24,672 --> 00:30:28,772
Next step, I'm going
to fold it in half.
500
00:30:28,872 --> 00:30:31,612
These two-ply will become four.
501
00:30:31,712 --> 00:30:33,812
Got it pinched off here
where I'm tying it.
502
00:30:33,912 --> 00:30:36,332
So that did not come unspun.
503
00:30:36,432 --> 00:30:39,692
We can do research and
practice things in our garage.
504
00:30:39,792 --> 00:30:41,372
That's all really helpful,
505
00:30:41,472 --> 00:30:45,013
but nothing can replace
the amount of time
506
00:30:45,113 --> 00:30:48,213
in the wilderness, because
there are so many variables
507
00:30:48,313 --> 00:30:49,893
that come up out there,
508
00:30:49,993 --> 00:30:52,533
and you can't really
manufacture those.
509
00:30:52,633 --> 00:30:56,733
Strong.
No flaws.
510
00:30:56,833 --> 00:30:59,573
Being there and having
those experiences
511
00:30:59,673 --> 00:31:02,213
accumulates to
an ability to adapt
512
00:31:02,313 --> 00:31:04,213
to whatever situations
come up.
513
00:31:08,753 --> 00:31:13,853
So here we have our
120-pound braided
514
00:31:13,953 --> 00:31:19,494
fishing line
and my largest hook.
515
00:31:19,594 --> 00:31:22,574
I'm going to see if we can
land one of these big cats.
516
00:31:30,634 --> 00:31:32,614
We'll leave it alone.
517
00:31:32,714 --> 00:31:34,714
We'll see how it goes.
518
00:31:48,714 --> 00:31:51,454
So I strung up
my 120-pound test line,
519
00:31:51,554 --> 00:31:53,295
went for a little walk,
520
00:31:53,395 --> 00:31:55,375
and saw a mouse
running around,
521
00:31:55,475 --> 00:32:00,735
and the main reason I want
a mouse is for catfish bait.
522
00:32:00,835 --> 00:32:03,435
So I'm going to build a trap
right now and...
523
00:32:06,515 --> 00:32:09,135
See what happens.
524
00:32:09,235 --> 00:32:11,255
There's some monster catfish,
525
00:32:11,355 --> 00:32:14,215
and I'm kind of consumed
right now with catching one.
526
00:32:17,755 --> 00:32:19,295
It's got the fossils in it,
527
00:32:19,395 --> 00:32:21,015
which I think
are coral fossils.
528
00:32:21,115 --> 00:32:22,695
Pretty cool.
529
00:32:25,075 --> 00:32:27,295
We'll set this up.
530
00:32:27,395 --> 00:32:29,856
I'm going to do a
figure-four deadfall trap.
531
00:32:36,156 --> 00:32:39,616
My bait stick here with a
little bit of dried fish on it
532
00:32:39,716 --> 00:32:42,616
that the catfish
are not interested in.
533
00:32:42,716 --> 00:32:45,216
I'm going to see if
the mouse will go for it.
534
00:32:45,316 --> 00:32:47,176
Here we have it.
535
00:32:47,276 --> 00:32:48,496
So I'm going to
leave this up all day.
536
00:32:48,596 --> 00:32:50,096
I don't know if this mouse
will come out again,
537
00:32:50,196 --> 00:32:53,336
but we'll set it off tonight.
538
00:32:53,436 --> 00:32:55,256
I'll use my rubber gloves
in the morning to set it
539
00:32:55,356 --> 00:32:57,056
so I don't put
fresh scent on it
540
00:32:57,156 --> 00:32:59,316
and hope for the best.
541
00:33:01,196 --> 00:33:03,777
It's time to go check
the fish line.
542
00:33:05,757 --> 00:33:08,977
While I've been out here,
I've felt a sense
543
00:33:09,077 --> 00:33:11,857
of awareness for my father.
544
00:33:11,957 --> 00:33:14,097
Even things like
set a deadfall trap,
545
00:33:14,197 --> 00:33:15,977
that's a deep connection
for me.
546
00:33:16,077 --> 00:33:20,217
So I do have a feeling that
he's in this game with me.
547
00:33:22,277 --> 00:33:24,417
Oh, man.
548
00:33:24,517 --> 00:33:29,537
I want to show you what I just
caught with a big scorpion.
549
00:33:29,637 --> 00:33:32,017
Finally.
550
00:33:32,117 --> 00:33:33,977
And I apologise
for not filming that.
551
00:33:36,597 --> 00:33:39,418
Whoo.
552
00:33:39,518 --> 00:33:41,138
Oh, my gosh.
553
00:33:41,238 --> 00:33:44,098
I was starting to lose faith
in catching fish.
554
00:33:44,198 --> 00:33:46,298
Oh, man.
This is awesome.
555
00:33:48,958 --> 00:33:51,578
Going to feast tonight
and in the morning.
556
00:33:51,678 --> 00:33:53,578
Eat this guy.
557
00:33:53,678 --> 00:33:59,018
I'm going to bait up
my four-ply 120-pound line.
558
00:33:59,118 --> 00:34:01,258
Put that back in here
with some of this--
559
00:34:01,358 --> 00:34:02,978
part of this guy's head.
560
00:34:05,358 --> 00:34:08,578
Hopefully,
make this into more fish.
561
00:34:16,759 --> 00:34:18,539
Teeth are sharp.
562
00:34:21,519 --> 00:34:23,979
Certainly, I want
to honour my father
563
00:34:24,079 --> 00:34:26,499
through this
experience applying
564
00:34:26,599 --> 00:34:30,179
the skills that he taught.
565
00:34:30,279 --> 00:34:32,219
Look at those brain juices
ooze out.
566
00:34:34,759 --> 00:34:36,819
It really brings them in,
I hope.
567
00:34:39,599 --> 00:34:41,859
He was so passionate
about it from a young age,
568
00:34:41,959 --> 00:34:44,219
and it was his career
for so many years.
569
00:34:44,319 --> 00:34:47,259
It's what he thought about
and loved.
570
00:34:47,359 --> 00:34:48,739
Yeah.
571
00:34:48,839 --> 00:34:52,540
Now, I'm nothing near
the survivalist that he was.
572
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:56,540
I've had other passions
and interests.
573
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:59,500
I ended up studying
agriculture in college,
574
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:03,540
got a degree
in soil science,
575
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,540
went and farmed in Turkey
for three years,
576
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,300
farmed in Romania,
577
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,220
and I came back to do
an MBA because
578
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:13,340
I wanted to get more into
the agribusiness side
579
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,500
of third-world countries,
580
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:18,660
but got distracted
and ended up
581
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,540
starting a software company
with my brothers,
582
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:24,620
and that's what I've
been doing ever since.
583
00:35:24,720 --> 00:35:27,061
Nothing yet.
584
00:35:27,161 --> 00:35:31,261
Let that line sit for a minute,
get some dinner cooking.
585
00:35:31,361 --> 00:35:33,301
Yet, all along the way,
586
00:35:33,401 --> 00:35:35,341
free time involved
a lot of time
587
00:35:35,441 --> 00:35:39,021
in the wilderness,
so his legacy lives on.
588
00:35:50,441 --> 00:35:52,441
More salt.
589
00:35:54,441 --> 00:35:57,301
I've chosen
to boil this fish
590
00:35:57,401 --> 00:36:01,102
to keep every nutrient
on that fish inside the pot
591
00:36:01,202 --> 00:36:03,822
and then into my stomach.
592
00:36:03,922 --> 00:36:08,182
I also got the liver,
heart, and brain in there.
593
00:36:08,282 --> 00:36:11,022
I'll just make
the broth really good.
594
00:36:11,122 --> 00:36:13,542
If you roast the fish
over the fire,
595
00:36:13,642 --> 00:36:16,462
some of the oils present
drip into the fire,
596
00:36:16,562 --> 00:36:18,462
and you lose those calories.
597
00:36:20,442 --> 00:36:23,622
Huh, OK, I want more salt.
598
00:36:23,722 --> 00:36:25,622
Additionally, I add
a lot of salt to that.
599
00:36:25,722 --> 00:36:27,862
Then I have a lot
of fishy broth,
600
00:36:27,962 --> 00:36:29,622
and I think
that's a really great way
601
00:36:29,722 --> 00:36:31,902
to stay well-hydrated.
602
00:36:32,002 --> 00:36:34,342
It's pretty well-boiled.
603
00:36:47,363 --> 00:36:49,903
It feels good having food
go into my belly again.
604
00:36:52,403 --> 00:36:53,943
But tomorrow's
another fishing day.
605
00:36:54,043 --> 00:36:56,623
I've got to keep
this coming, for sure.
606
00:37:56,605 --> 00:37:58,465
Feel pretty clear
about the waterbuck,
607
00:37:58,565 --> 00:38:01,665
like where to go,
where to sit.
608
00:38:01,765 --> 00:38:04,185
I think the main thing
is just the shelter.
609
00:38:04,285 --> 00:38:06,585
And then once that's set up,
610
00:38:06,685 --> 00:38:09,345
I can start doing
some ambush hunting.
611
00:38:09,445 --> 00:38:11,345
Getting a waterbuck now
612
00:38:11,445 --> 00:38:13,585
without even having
a shelter up,
613
00:38:13,685 --> 00:38:16,625
it would be challenging.
614
00:38:16,725 --> 00:38:20,905
OK, here's
my little shelter spot.
615
00:38:21,005 --> 00:38:22,666
It's waterfront property.
616
00:38:22,766 --> 00:38:26,546
It's got a beautiful view,
access to fishing.
617
00:38:26,646 --> 00:38:29,026
Ugh, there's poo everywhere.
618
00:38:29,126 --> 00:38:33,626
Plenty of shade in the morning
and in the afternoon.
619
00:38:33,726 --> 00:38:36,586
It just feels like
a bit of an oasis.
620
00:38:36,686 --> 00:38:41,826
So if I slept here...
621
00:38:41,926 --> 00:38:44,666
that'd be OK there.
622
00:38:44,766 --> 00:38:47,466
Last night was the first night
that I felt cold,
623
00:38:47,566 --> 00:38:51,706
and if I'm going to stay
for any more length of time,
624
00:38:51,806 --> 00:38:54,026
I need a nest.
625
00:38:54,126 --> 00:38:58,227
These two will start
the process.
626
00:38:58,327 --> 00:39:00,667
I'm planning to make
a half dome.
627
00:39:00,767 --> 00:39:04,387
It's going to be like
a little sleeping tent.
628
00:39:04,487 --> 00:39:06,667
There we go.
629
00:39:06,767 --> 00:39:09,387
And I'm just going to sort of,
like, sweat lodge-style.
630
00:39:09,487 --> 00:39:11,147
Just, you know,
put saplings in the ground,
631
00:39:11,247 --> 00:39:13,387
and bend them over,
and weave them together.
632
00:39:13,487 --> 00:39:15,427
Then canvas on top of that.
633
00:39:15,527 --> 00:39:17,267
OK, you two.
634
00:39:17,367 --> 00:39:20,747
Your job is to
hold each other up.
635
00:39:20,847 --> 00:39:22,427
All right?
636
00:39:22,527 --> 00:39:23,867
I just need it to be
something that's
637
00:39:23,967 --> 00:39:26,667
going to keep me secure
and warm at nighttime,
638
00:39:26,767 --> 00:39:30,007
and to keep
my basic things inside.
639
00:39:39,168 --> 00:39:40,508
I'm going to make string
640
00:39:40,608 --> 00:39:42,668
out of the inner bark
of the acacia.
641
00:39:42,768 --> 00:39:44,308
These need to soak.
642
00:39:44,408 --> 00:39:46,428
I just want to get
the sap out of it.
643
00:39:48,288 --> 00:39:51,068
This is awesome string
for the shelter.
644
00:39:52,368 --> 00:39:53,908
String.
645
00:39:56,528 --> 00:40:00,188
I haven't been able to live
like this for a while.
646
00:40:00,288 --> 00:40:02,668
I've been busy being a mum,
647
00:40:02,768 --> 00:40:04,748
doing everything
for everybody,
648
00:40:04,848 --> 00:40:07,628
and this is not that.
649
00:40:07,728 --> 00:40:09,669
This is like
I'm getting gifted
650
00:40:09,769 --> 00:40:11,789
to go back to my roots.
651
00:40:11,889 --> 00:40:14,469
Hold.
652
00:40:14,569 --> 00:40:17,309
And I'm really interested
to make a life for myself
653
00:40:17,409 --> 00:40:19,589
and create space
where it feels like
654
00:40:19,689 --> 00:40:22,269
I have a belonging
to the country.
655
00:40:22,369 --> 00:40:24,509
I really see this
as a rite of passage,
656
00:40:24,609 --> 00:40:27,909
and I'm going to see it
through to the end.
657
00:40:28,009 --> 00:40:30,009
It's getting cold.
658
00:40:34,489 --> 00:40:39,669
Here in the Karoo,
we're going into winter.
659
00:40:39,769 --> 00:40:43,910
OK, we need to go and get
a couple more saplings.
660
00:40:45,650 --> 00:40:48,470
It's going to still be
really hot during the day,
661
00:40:48,570 --> 00:40:52,030
and then it's going to
plunge down at night.
662
00:40:52,130 --> 00:40:55,730
We haven't hit the most
extreme weather yet.
663
00:40:57,570 --> 00:41:00,170
Oh, my God.
Check it out.
664
00:41:09,010 --> 00:41:11,670
It looks like there's
some wet weather coming.
665
00:41:16,810 --> 00:41:20,031
I haven't really done
that much on my shelter.
666
00:41:21,771 --> 00:41:24,631
Back home,
rain clouds like that
667
00:41:24,731 --> 00:41:27,831
would be, like,
in three days to a week,
668
00:41:27,931 --> 00:41:30,031
there's going to be
proper rain.
669
00:41:32,051 --> 00:41:34,551
Storms are circling.
670
00:41:34,651 --> 00:41:37,311
The main message is,
I need to build my shelter.
671
00:41:37,411 --> 00:41:39,911
I just need to get it done.
672
00:41:40,011 --> 00:41:42,831
Definitely some
crazier weather coming.
673
00:41:46,371 --> 00:41:48,631
We have some decently
dark clouds coming in.
674
00:41:48,731 --> 00:41:50,731
A little windy.
A little breeze picking up.
675
00:41:56,052 --> 00:41:58,752
It's freaking ice.
676
00:41:58,852 --> 00:42:00,512
Holy [bleep].
677
00:42:00,612 --> 00:42:03,432
The rainstorm's getting
progressively more intense.
678
00:42:03,532 --> 00:42:06,552
Oh, [bleep]. Here we go.
679
00:42:06,652 --> 00:42:08,072
Batten down the hatches.
680
00:42:08,172 --> 00:42:10,372
It's absolutely downpouring.
681
00:42:14,132 --> 00:42:16,592
Holy hell.
We have a river.
682
00:42:16,692 --> 00:42:18,152
All my stuff's flooded.
683
00:42:18,252 --> 00:42:20,192
Well, if this doesn't
make you want to tap...
