Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:16,380 --> 00:00:18,041
I'm so busy I haven't
really had an opportunity
2
00:00:18,141 --> 00:00:19,761
to feel homesick.
3
00:00:19,861 --> 00:00:22,162
Well, I'm gonna call that a
day on the shelter experiment.
4
00:00:22,262 --> 00:00:26,363
Now it's just me and my
thoughts and feelings.
5
00:00:26,463 --> 00:00:28,363
Our fishing sucks.
6
00:00:28,463 --> 00:00:29,963
There's no more
catfish in here.
7
00:00:30,063 --> 00:00:31,884
I'm desperate to find
something to eat.
8
00:00:31,984 --> 00:00:33,084
I'm losing strength.
9
00:00:33,184 --> 00:00:35,805
I'm losing muscle, weight,
you name it.
10
00:00:35,905 --> 00:00:36,925
I'm pushing my limit.
11
00:00:37,025 --> 00:00:39,646
But we're not done yet.
Can't give up.
12
00:00:39,746 --> 00:00:41,966
It's going across
the top peak.
13
00:00:42,066 --> 00:00:44,687
I feel like I've got
everything else dialled in.
14
00:00:44,787 --> 00:00:46,927
The critical piece
is the protein.
15
00:00:47,027 --> 00:00:48,208
That's the missing link.
16
00:00:48,308 --> 00:00:51,889
There's one kudu leaving,
17
00:00:51,989 --> 00:00:54,409
just over the other side
of the clearing.
18
00:00:56,230 --> 00:00:58,970
I've been hamstrung.
19
00:01:00,551 --> 00:01:03,411
They're gonna come right
in front of me, I think.
20
00:01:03,511 --> 00:01:05,612
I think I've got a shot here.
I'm gonna take a shot.
21
00:01:10,033 --> 00:01:12,033
.
22
00:01:20,075 --> 00:01:22,976
That was...
23
00:01:23,076 --> 00:01:25,556
super disappointing.
24
00:01:31,918 --> 00:01:34,139
Dang, man, it's tough
to get close to them.
25
00:01:52,243 --> 00:01:54,983
I think that's blown
my chances today,
26
00:01:55,083 --> 00:01:56,864
to be honest.
27
00:01:58,604 --> 00:02:00,465
, man, I tell ya.
28
00:02:04,166 --> 00:02:05,826
It's tough.
29
00:02:07,766 --> 00:02:11,467
I'm just feeling
so [bleep] frustrated
30
00:02:11,567 --> 00:02:15,468
because it's so close
but so far away,
31
00:02:15,568 --> 00:02:18,509
in terms of actually getting
a successful shot.
32
00:02:20,529 --> 00:02:23,310
It is what it is.
33
00:02:23,410 --> 00:02:25,311
I'm heading back.
34
00:02:29,652 --> 00:02:33,152
I'm really at a pivotal
point right now.
35
00:02:33,252 --> 00:02:36,113
acacia.
36
00:02:36,213 --> 00:02:40,314
Even the plants
don't want me to eat meat,
37
00:02:40,414 --> 00:02:42,315
it feels like.
38
00:02:42,415 --> 00:02:45,595
The physicality of this
is getting beyond me
39
00:02:45,695 --> 00:02:47,936
because I don't have
enough protein.
40
00:02:54,057 --> 00:02:57,478
Starting to feel myself
getting really tired.
41
00:02:57,578 --> 00:02:59,719
Eating plants for this long,
42
00:02:59,819 --> 00:03:02,999
it's starting to be that
my body doesn't want that.
43
00:03:03,099 --> 00:03:05,520
Like, I feel like
my body's rejecting it.
44
00:03:05,620 --> 00:03:08,001
I'm so close.
45
00:03:08,101 --> 00:03:09,441
Oh, my God.
46
00:03:09,541 --> 00:03:12,402
But I think what's driving me
forward, at this point,
47
00:03:12,502 --> 00:03:16,203
is the possibility of success.
48
00:03:16,303 --> 00:03:20,204
Whew, I'm back.
49
00:03:20,304 --> 00:03:23,004
Kudu, nyala...
50
00:03:25,985 --> 00:03:29,126
But nothing to eat but plants.
51
00:03:32,386 --> 00:03:35,607
Cruel twist of fate.
52
00:03:35,707 --> 00:03:39,248
And I feel like that's
what this has been for me,
53
00:03:39,348 --> 00:03:41,449
a big, fat death quest.
54
00:03:41,549 --> 00:03:45,089
It's not death so much
as commitment.
55
00:03:45,189 --> 00:03:46,570
It's actually more
a commitment quest.
56
00:03:46,670 --> 00:03:49,691
They call it the death quest,
but it's actually about
57
00:03:49,791 --> 00:03:54,172
what are you committing to
so fiercely in life
58
00:03:54,272 --> 00:03:58,373
that it's actually
taking away your energy
59
00:03:58,473 --> 00:04:00,613
to your life purpose?
60
00:04:00,713 --> 00:04:03,054
And I feel like that's
what this has been for me.
61
00:04:03,154 --> 00:04:05,294
It's this real sense
of what I need
62
00:04:05,394 --> 00:04:09,335
to stop putting
so much energy into
63
00:04:09,435 --> 00:04:12,856
and freeing myself up
to create something
64
00:04:12,956 --> 00:04:16,017
really different
moving forward.
65
00:04:16,117 --> 00:04:17,297
Oh.
66
00:04:17,397 --> 00:04:19,738
So maybe I don't need
67
00:04:19,838 --> 00:04:22,738
to kill a greater kudu male
68
00:04:22,838 --> 00:04:25,139
with fabulous horns to
69
00:04:25,239 --> 00:04:28,020
get that life lesson.
70
00:04:53,005 --> 00:04:54,746
So last night, I roasted
71
00:04:54,846 --> 00:04:58,227
these Buffalo thorn fruits
72
00:04:58,327 --> 00:05:02,508
to make my first cup of coffee.
73
00:05:02,608 --> 00:05:04,508
I'm really looking forward
to sitting with this
74
00:05:04,608 --> 00:05:06,909
this morning
and thinking about Erica
75
00:05:07,009 --> 00:05:09,029
and our time together.
76
00:05:14,170 --> 00:05:16,871
My brain is always
focused on something.
77
00:05:16,971 --> 00:05:18,792
I lock on
to one thing at a time.
78
00:05:18,892 --> 00:05:21,672
And that's been
pointed out to me,
79
00:05:21,772 --> 00:05:23,873
that I'm not as available
80
00:05:23,973 --> 00:05:27,474
because rarely am I doing
nothing in my head.
81
00:05:29,814 --> 00:05:31,675
Smells really good.
82
00:05:31,775 --> 00:05:33,875
And one of the things
that I've been loving
83
00:05:33,975 --> 00:05:37,036
about that morning practice
with my wife, Erica,
84
00:05:37,136 --> 00:05:38,516
I'll say,
what are you thinking about?
85
00:05:38,616 --> 00:05:40,557
And she'll say, nothing.
86
00:05:40,657 --> 00:05:42,397
And I'm like,
that's impossible.
87
00:05:42,497 --> 00:05:43,797
How could you be thinking
about nothing?
88
00:05:43,897 --> 00:05:44,998
You're just thinking
about something
89
00:05:45,098 --> 00:05:45,998
you don't wanna tell me about.
90
00:05:46,098 --> 00:05:47,318
That's what I first thought.
91
00:05:47,418 --> 00:05:48,839
And then later,
I came to trust it.
92
00:05:48,939 --> 00:05:50,399
She actually is
thinking about nothing.
93
00:05:50,499 --> 00:05:52,800
All right, we're gonna call
that good.
94
00:05:58,021 --> 00:05:59,361
And so I've been
experimenting with that
95
00:05:59,461 --> 00:06:03,402
and trying to just
fall into that place
96
00:06:03,502 --> 00:06:05,723
of not thinking
about anything.
97
00:06:05,823 --> 00:06:08,163
And it's been, I think,
a healthy thing for my brain.
98
00:06:08,263 --> 00:06:10,804
I'm starting to
feel more present.
99
00:06:10,904 --> 00:06:13,084
I'm gonna make this
coffee cowboy-style,
100
00:06:13,184 --> 00:06:15,645
where you just, uh,
101
00:06:15,745 --> 00:06:21,046
boil the grounds
right in the pot.
102
00:06:21,146 --> 00:06:25,887
In the meantime, I plan to work
on the interior of the shelter.
103
00:06:28,548 --> 00:06:30,969
So we can feel like home.
104
00:06:34,469 --> 00:06:36,730
I decided on a floor plan
in the shelter.
105
00:06:36,830 --> 00:06:40,491
I'm gonna have a bed that's
the full 10-foot length.
106
00:06:40,591 --> 00:06:42,411
That'll give me some room
to have a place
107
00:06:42,511 --> 00:06:44,772
to put my stuff
at my head and at my feet,
108
00:06:44,872 --> 00:06:46,532
and can sleep in the middle.
109
00:06:50,313 --> 00:06:53,814
I've got all of this
leftover stone and sand
110
00:06:53,914 --> 00:06:56,375
just kind of cluttering up
the outside of my shelter,
111
00:06:56,475 --> 00:06:58,775
all this building material
that I'm gonna use
112
00:06:58,875 --> 00:07:02,016
to fill the bed.
113
00:07:02,116 --> 00:07:05,217
So rather than hauling it off
to clean up the yard,
114
00:07:05,317 --> 00:07:08,337
I'm just gonna
make a bed out of it.
115
00:07:12,678 --> 00:07:16,539
Sun peeked out.
That means it's coffee time.
116
00:07:16,639 --> 00:07:20,200
That's some black coffee.
I'd say that was a dark roast.
117
00:07:25,441 --> 00:07:28,002
Good morning, Erica.
I miss you.
118
00:07:31,283 --> 00:07:34,063
I feel like I'm settling
into a new phase here
119
00:07:34,163 --> 00:07:38,184
where I'm having more time
to contemplate things.
120
00:07:42,525 --> 00:07:45,266
I do miss my kids,
and I miss Erica.
121
00:07:45,366 --> 00:07:48,187
I have waves of deep missing.
122
00:07:48,287 --> 00:07:50,507
The distance is great
123
00:07:50,607 --> 00:07:52,988
and the time
is getting greater.
124
00:07:53,088 --> 00:07:55,548
But I'm enjoying
being in this place
125
00:07:55,648 --> 00:07:58,229
and wanna stay.
126
00:07:58,329 --> 00:08:01,910
But I need to figure out
how to get more calories.
127
00:08:16,613 --> 00:08:21,034
I had a dream last night
about buying steak--
128
00:08:21,134 --> 00:08:24,075
ah, hilarious,
buying steak to go fishing.
129
00:08:24,175 --> 00:08:26,236
That's what I need right now.
130
00:08:26,336 --> 00:08:27,876
God, if I had steak
or hot dog or bacon,
131
00:08:27,976 --> 00:08:29,236
I'm sure I'd be doing great.
132
00:08:31,457 --> 00:08:33,317
I think I might go
for a little walk.
133
00:08:35,258 --> 00:08:36,678
I'm really feeling
the cold today.
134
00:08:36,778 --> 00:08:39,119
I think it's because
I've lost so much weight.
135
00:08:41,819 --> 00:08:45,600
Oh, I'm feeling tired.
136
00:08:45,700 --> 00:08:49,921
I'm sick of eating greens
and things like that.
137
00:08:50,021 --> 00:08:54,322
Even the African cabbage
does not taste good anymore.
138
00:08:54,422 --> 00:08:55,923
It's like my body's
going, look,
139
00:08:56,023 --> 00:08:58,323
this is all great but I don't
wanna keep doing this.
140
00:08:58,423 --> 00:08:59,844
Things need to change,
141
00:08:59,944 --> 00:09:04,165
and I need to work out
what the right thing is to do.
142
00:09:05,705 --> 00:09:09,726
Country,
what have you done to me?
143
00:09:09,826 --> 00:09:12,827
You took me down a notch,
that's for sure.
144
00:09:15,347 --> 00:09:17,928
Any time you do something
this extreme,
145
00:09:18,028 --> 00:09:21,409
you're gonna find
new parts of yourself.
146
00:09:21,509 --> 00:09:24,770
And I'm really starting
to feel a sense
147
00:09:24,870 --> 00:09:27,970
of my own personal story
148
00:09:28,070 --> 00:09:30,411
starting to come forward
more clearly,
149
00:09:30,511 --> 00:09:32,491
and what it is that I need
150
00:09:32,591 --> 00:09:36,172
to see about myself.
151
00:09:36,272 --> 00:09:38,893
Goodness.
152
00:09:38,993 --> 00:09:43,414
I think I'm just gonna sit
and contemplate things.
153
00:09:53,796 --> 00:09:56,577
I have this sort of
seeking part of me
154
00:09:56,677 --> 00:09:59,218
that always wants to know
what's really possible.
155
00:09:59,318 --> 00:10:01,498
What's really the edge?
156
00:10:01,598 --> 00:10:04,539
And typically,
what I do in life is,
157
00:10:04,639 --> 00:10:07,620
I commit to the full.
158
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,900
But all of a sudden,
159
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,381
I'm realising that,
over the years,
160
00:10:12,481 --> 00:10:16,462
I will commit to friendships,
relationships,
161
00:10:16,562 --> 00:10:19,903
sometimes even
business collaborations,
162
00:10:20,003 --> 00:10:23,263
even when there's lots of
signs that it's not working.
163
00:10:23,363 --> 00:10:26,024
I feel like I'm stuck in this,
164
00:10:26,124 --> 00:10:28,465
and I have to
make it work somehow.
165
00:10:28,565 --> 00:10:31,985
I need to just...
166
00:10:32,085 --> 00:10:34,986
just do what's right for me.
167
00:10:35,086 --> 00:10:37,707
And that's true for everybody,
I think.
168
00:10:37,807 --> 00:10:40,587
You've gotta honour
what's right for you.
169
00:10:44,648 --> 00:10:47,229
And now
what I'm really feeling
170
00:10:47,329 --> 00:10:49,509
is that it's not healthy.
171
00:10:49,609 --> 00:10:52,110
And I need to let go
of the expectations,
172
00:10:52,210 --> 00:10:53,871
in all aspects,
173
00:10:53,971 --> 00:10:56,791
because this is an opportunity
174
00:10:56,891 --> 00:11:00,192
to rewrite that code
for myself.
175
00:11:00,292 --> 00:11:02,513
I had to come all the way
to South Africa
176
00:11:02,613 --> 00:11:07,474
to really let go
177
00:11:07,574 --> 00:11:10,474
of what was old in my life
178
00:11:10,574 --> 00:11:14,435
and--and move ahead.
179
00:11:14,535 --> 00:11:17,316
It's crazy.
180
00:11:30,499 --> 00:11:32,680
Hey, it's Katie.
181
00:11:32,780 --> 00:11:35,800
I'm just calling
to officially tap out.
182
00:11:51,344 --> 00:11:53,565
I just feel like the country--
183
00:11:53,665 --> 00:11:56,365
I guess it just feels like
it's besting me at this point.
184
00:11:57,986 --> 00:12:02,567
And I have to just be realistic
and not hurt myself.
185
00:12:02,667 --> 00:12:06,008
I think the biggest thing
is letting go
186
00:12:06,108 --> 00:12:09,768
of parts of my life.
187
00:12:09,868 --> 00:12:11,689
I think that's been
the biggest--
188
00:12:11,789 --> 00:12:15,090
like, being prepared to let go
189
00:12:15,190 --> 00:12:18,370
and starting a new chapter
190
00:12:18,470 --> 00:12:20,931
in my life.
191
00:12:21,031 --> 00:12:23,452
I feel like
I've found confidence
192
00:12:23,552 --> 00:12:26,892
and personal power.
193
00:12:26,992 --> 00:12:29,973
Life is always working
with you and for you,
194
00:12:30,073 --> 00:12:31,494
whether you know it or not
195
00:12:31,594 --> 00:12:33,814
and whether you like it
or not.
196
00:12:33,914 --> 00:12:35,695
And it feels like
this has been
197
00:12:35,795 --> 00:12:38,175
a beautiful example of that.
198
00:12:38,275 --> 00:12:41,496
It's definitely not rolled
through the way I expected,
199
00:12:41,596 --> 00:12:44,257
but I fully trust that
200
00:12:44,357 --> 00:12:47,537
what's actually happening
is what's meant to be.
201
00:12:47,637 --> 00:12:50,378
I've enjoyed being here
on my own.
202
00:12:52,078 --> 00:12:53,979
It's like a piercing insight
203
00:12:54,079 --> 00:12:56,619
into what
you're really carrying.
204
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:02,381
I think this is very much
what this experience
205
00:13:02,481 --> 00:13:04,381
has been for me,
206
00:13:04,481 --> 00:13:07,982
a quest for my real truth,
207
00:13:08,082 --> 00:13:10,663
and a humbling in that
at the same time.
208
00:13:10,763 --> 00:13:14,224
It's been very, very powerful.
209
00:13:14,324 --> 00:13:17,504
I'll always carry the energy
of this in my heart.
210
00:13:17,604 --> 00:13:20,225
Maybe this stoic,
211
00:13:20,325 --> 00:13:23,906
kind of rock energy
is coming home with me.
212
00:13:24,006 --> 00:13:27,667
So just thanking the land,
really, for that.
213
00:13:51,172 --> 00:13:52,593
Very cold morning.
214
00:13:52,693 --> 00:13:54,393
Check this out.
215
00:13:56,574 --> 00:13:58,574
Nice and icy.
216
00:14:05,776 --> 00:14:07,436
It's freezing every night.
217
00:14:07,536 --> 00:14:11,197
And every day I wake up,
there's frost everywhere.
218
00:14:11,297 --> 00:14:14,958
My feet get cold, but
I have the layers I put on.
219
00:14:15,058 --> 00:14:17,399
There's not much more
I can do.
220
00:14:17,499 --> 00:14:19,199
I'm just getting, you know,
skinnier, and I just--
221
00:14:19,299 --> 00:14:21,279
my circulation is worse.
222
00:14:21,379 --> 00:14:22,600
But I'm handling it.
223
00:14:22,700 --> 00:14:24,360
Tough it out or go home.
224
00:14:24,460 --> 00:14:26,361
And I'm gonna tough it out.
225
00:14:26,461 --> 00:14:28,401
We're gonna go for a walk,
see how we feel,
226
00:14:28,501 --> 00:14:30,362
see how our legs do.
227
00:14:30,462 --> 00:14:32,602
Let's do this.
What's the worst-case scenario?
228
00:14:32,702 --> 00:14:35,683
Pass out and they come get me.
229
00:14:35,783 --> 00:14:39,164
That's--that is
worst-case scenario, yes.
230
00:14:39,264 --> 00:14:42,364
Okay, go for a walk.
231
00:14:44,225 --> 00:14:46,845
Here we go.
232
00:14:46,945 --> 00:14:48,366
Make sure
I don't fall down there.
233
00:14:48,466 --> 00:14:50,446
We're walking to
our lookout rock.
234
00:14:50,546 --> 00:14:51,967
I've eaten all my jerky.
235
00:14:52,067 --> 00:14:55,047
I'm officially out of food.
236
00:14:55,147 --> 00:14:58,048
I really wanna get
in that sun and get warm.
237
00:14:58,148 --> 00:15:00,369
I've had my catfish lines out
every single day,
238
00:15:00,469 --> 00:15:02,049
with nothing.
239
00:15:02,149 --> 00:15:04,130
And I've changed the bait out
multiple times.
240
00:15:04,230 --> 00:15:07,050
I'm going to start
losing weight very fast,
241
00:15:07,150 --> 00:15:10,051
but I'm not that skinny yet.
242
00:15:10,151 --> 00:15:11,771
We'll keep on fishing.
243
00:15:11,871 --> 00:15:14,932
We'll keep trying
until we can't.
244
00:15:15,032 --> 00:15:16,973
There's two deer up here.
245
00:15:17,073 --> 00:15:20,053
I haven't seen them yet,
that species.
246
00:15:20,153 --> 00:15:22,574
There's one, and there's two.
247
00:15:22,674 --> 00:15:25,655
I think those are bushbucks.
248
00:15:25,755 --> 00:15:27,815
Very cool, I like them.
I like the stripes on them.
249
00:15:27,915 --> 00:15:29,916
I like the stripes
on their coat.
250
00:15:30,956 --> 00:15:34,897
In my rescue, I see and help
animals every single day.
251
00:15:34,997 --> 00:15:37,257
But out here, I see wildlife
252
00:15:37,357 --> 00:15:38,738
that I don't get
to see back home.
253
00:15:38,838 --> 00:15:41,698
It just makes me happy
and excited.
254
00:15:41,798 --> 00:15:43,019
There's another one.
255
00:15:43,119 --> 00:15:44,859
They just uplift me.
256
00:15:44,959 --> 00:15:47,940
These animals are
a part of my journey.
257
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,020
So very cool.
258
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,341
I'm gonna keep on going.
259
00:15:52,441 --> 00:15:54,541
That sun already feels good.
260
00:15:54,641 --> 00:15:56,702
It's so hard to be out here
261
00:15:56,802 --> 00:15:58,542
and not fantasise
about winning,
262
00:15:58,642 --> 00:16:02,903
to use that money to help
improve animals' lives.
263
00:16:03,003 --> 00:16:06,344
If we win, Brady and I
could get more animals in.
264
00:16:06,444 --> 00:16:10,785
I think an ideal partnership
is respect and support.
265
00:16:10,885 --> 00:16:13,586
Brady and I have that,
for sure.
266
00:16:13,686 --> 00:16:15,186
He's my rock.
267
00:16:15,286 --> 00:16:19,067
I need to stick it out
for the rescue.
268
00:16:19,167 --> 00:16:21,188
We made it.
269
00:16:21,288 --> 00:16:23,148
It took a lot of energy
to get up here today.
270
00:16:31,690 --> 00:16:33,631
I hear baboons.
271
00:16:33,731 --> 00:16:35,551
This is where I clear my mind.
272
00:16:35,651 --> 00:16:39,352
This is where I get
mentally strong.
273
00:16:39,452 --> 00:16:41,793
I need this
274
00:16:41,893 --> 00:16:44,113
to stay in the game.
275
00:16:46,054 --> 00:16:49,514
I feel like it's coming down
to the mental game.
276
00:16:49,614 --> 00:16:52,435
And I'm digging deep
every day.
277
00:16:52,535 --> 00:16:55,276
I'm finding grit
I didn't know I had.
278
00:16:55,376 --> 00:16:57,436
I'm not sure
where it's coming from.
279
00:16:57,536 --> 00:16:59,717
But once I get to the rock,
280
00:16:59,817 --> 00:17:01,957
the universe is like,
you're okay now.
281
00:17:02,057 --> 00:17:04,058
There's a whole bunch of them.
282
00:17:06,218 --> 00:17:09,679
You have to be mentally strong
to stay out here.
283
00:17:09,779 --> 00:17:12,160
There's a lot of people with
jobs they gotta get back to,
284
00:17:12,260 --> 00:17:14,240
families, children.
285
00:17:14,340 --> 00:17:16,321
Eventually,
that pulls on them,
286
00:17:16,421 --> 00:17:18,421
and then they wanna go home.
287
00:17:20,102 --> 00:17:21,882
I don't have to be home
for anything,
288
00:17:21,982 --> 00:17:24,283
so I tell myself
to suck it up.
289
00:17:24,383 --> 00:17:27,283
This is my adventure, and I
can do it as long as I want.
290
00:17:27,383 --> 00:17:30,084
And Brady knows that about me.
291
00:17:30,184 --> 00:17:33,325
When I leave here,
it's gonna be--
292
00:17:33,425 --> 00:17:37,686
absolutely could not
have made it another hour.
293
00:17:37,786 --> 00:17:40,126
And it could be mental.
294
00:17:40,226 --> 00:17:44,687
You know, my mental game could
decrease in the next few days.
295
00:17:44,787 --> 00:17:46,408
Hopefully not.
296
00:17:46,508 --> 00:17:47,488
But you don't know.
297
00:17:47,588 --> 00:17:49,408
You don't know
what's gonna happen.
298
00:17:52,349 --> 00:17:54,250
This is "Alone."
Haven't you seen it?
299
00:17:54,350 --> 00:17:56,650
Anything can happen.
300
00:18:22,436 --> 00:18:24,497
Nothing on that one.
301
00:18:24,597 --> 00:18:26,597
Damn it.
302
00:18:30,358 --> 00:18:33,779
I haven't had
any more luck on fishing,
303
00:18:33,879 --> 00:18:35,619
so I'm officially out of food.
304
00:18:41,441 --> 00:18:43,181
Expected to be doing better,
305
00:18:43,281 --> 00:18:46,302
especially after coming in
and easily catching fish.
306
00:18:46,402 --> 00:18:49,003
There's still a little bit of
breaching going on out there.
307
00:18:51,003 --> 00:18:54,464
Sure wish I could
catch one of them.
308
00:18:54,564 --> 00:18:57,545
If I cast out,
I'm gonna hit a snag.
309
00:18:57,645 --> 00:18:59,665
And I'd end up having
to swim for the hook.
310
00:18:59,765 --> 00:19:03,266
It's just a lot of energy
to get up out of this.
311
00:19:03,366 --> 00:19:05,546
And I just can't keep
burning calories.
312
00:19:08,127 --> 00:19:10,348
One of the downsides
to building a shelter...
313
00:19:13,808 --> 00:19:16,669
I put thousands of calories
into this shelter.
314
00:19:16,769 --> 00:19:18,389
I hauled so many
loads of rock,
315
00:19:18,489 --> 00:19:20,850
and gotta balance that out
with food.
316
00:19:22,530 --> 00:19:23,911
I need food coming in.
317
00:19:24,011 --> 00:19:25,991
And fish seems like
the best option,
318
00:19:26,091 --> 00:19:28,352
but it's just not happening.
319
00:19:28,452 --> 00:19:30,192
I feel the stress.
320
00:19:30,292 --> 00:19:32,273
If you don't eat, you get
a little bit lightheaded
321
00:19:32,373 --> 00:19:35,994
when you stand up,
that kind of stuff.
322
00:19:36,094 --> 00:19:39,574
So I'm gonna harvest
prickly pear today.
323
00:19:41,495 --> 00:19:43,555
I don't think I'll get
a lot of calories out of it,
324
00:19:43,655 --> 00:19:47,356
but it's just good
for the gut biome
325
00:19:47,456 --> 00:19:49,457
and all that, I'm sure.
326
00:19:52,377 --> 00:19:56,318
I'm ready to get back
to hunting.
327
00:19:56,418 --> 00:19:59,479
Problem with that is,
the big game are up on top,
328
00:19:59,579 --> 00:20:03,400
and that's a very big
calorie expenditure
329
00:20:03,500 --> 00:20:04,960
to get up there.
330
00:20:05,060 --> 00:20:06,521
All right, well,
that ought to do.
331
00:20:06,621 --> 00:20:09,722
I'll go burn
all these thorns off
332
00:20:09,822 --> 00:20:11,482
and then have a little meal.
333
00:20:11,582 --> 00:20:13,923
I really think that
if I climb up on top
334
00:20:14,023 --> 00:20:17,043
and I'm not successful,
I will burn through calories
335
00:20:17,143 --> 00:20:20,484
too fast and I will not last.
336
00:20:20,584 --> 00:20:23,165
So I've gotta
stay close to home here
337
00:20:23,265 --> 00:20:26,606
and just hope that
I can find the calories
338
00:20:26,706 --> 00:20:28,726
sooner than later.
339
00:20:32,427 --> 00:20:34,287
Prickly pear kebab here.
340
00:20:34,387 --> 00:20:36,908
We're gonna roast them
for a bit and then boil it up.
341
00:20:40,389 --> 00:20:43,410
Erica and I have
ten children between us.
342
00:20:43,510 --> 00:20:45,690
Each day, I've been
picking a different child
343
00:20:45,790 --> 00:20:47,691
and thinking about them.
344
00:20:47,791 --> 00:20:50,871
And today is Isaiah.
345
00:20:54,672 --> 00:20:57,413
I think about you all the time.
346
00:20:57,513 --> 00:20:59,373
I hope you're having
a great summer,
347
00:20:59,473 --> 00:21:02,094
and I can't wait to get home
and hear about it.
348
00:21:07,515 --> 00:21:09,416
Isaiah is my little
world traveler, you know.
349
00:21:09,516 --> 00:21:11,256
He's been all over the place.
350
00:21:11,356 --> 00:21:13,457
He was the last one
to be with his brother
351
00:21:13,557 --> 00:21:16,417
before his brother passed.
352
00:21:16,517 --> 00:21:17,538
They were traveling
in Vietnam.
353
00:21:17,638 --> 00:21:20,018
And Isaiah came home,
and Porter stayed.
354
00:21:21,959 --> 00:21:25,619
Isaiah was closest in age to
Porter, and they were buddies.
355
00:21:25,719 --> 00:21:28,060
They did everything together
356
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,541
and were really bonded
as brothers.
357
00:21:30,641 --> 00:21:33,901
And Porter looked out
for Isaiah.
358
00:21:34,001 --> 00:21:37,222
Porter's death, it was very,
very difficult for all of us,
359
00:21:37,322 --> 00:21:40,143
but I think
especially for Isaiah.
360
00:21:42,844 --> 00:21:44,504
I think that's good.
361
00:21:44,604 --> 00:21:46,864
Now I'm just gonna
boil them into a mush.
362
00:21:49,605 --> 00:21:52,066
And as Porter,
363
00:21:52,166 --> 00:21:55,667
you know, eventually struggled
with his use of substances,
364
00:21:55,767 --> 00:21:58,307
those roles changed.
365
00:21:58,407 --> 00:22:00,508
Isaiah significantly became
366
00:22:00,608 --> 00:22:03,308
the caregiver to Porter.
367
00:22:03,408 --> 00:22:06,709
And I really admire him
for that.
368
00:22:06,809 --> 00:22:09,310
In a big family structure,
that's pretty important.
369
00:22:09,410 --> 00:22:11,630
The older siblings especially
370
00:22:11,730 --> 00:22:14,671
tend to fill some of those
roles to supplement the fact
371
00:22:14,771 --> 00:22:17,192
that the parents
can't be with every child
372
00:22:17,292 --> 00:22:19,472
all the time.
373
00:22:19,572 --> 00:22:23,513
When I was considering
coming on "Alone,"
374
00:22:23,613 --> 00:22:25,954
it was one of the hardest
things for me to consider,
375
00:22:26,054 --> 00:22:27,674
was being away.
376
00:22:27,774 --> 00:22:31,155
So Isaiah really
allowed me to be able to
377
00:22:31,255 --> 00:22:33,435
come and have this experience.
378
00:22:44,858 --> 00:22:47,719
Yep, just like I remember it.
Not great.
379
00:22:47,819 --> 00:22:49,959
I just wanna make sure
I don't get too depleted.
380
00:22:50,059 --> 00:22:53,400
I'm gonna spend some time
on catfish again tonight.
381
00:22:53,500 --> 00:22:55,401
See what happens.
382
00:23:13,825 --> 00:23:16,366
Pretty tired.
It's been a long day.
383
00:23:16,466 --> 00:23:18,886
It started really early, fishing.
384
00:23:18,986 --> 00:23:20,967
It's just not happening.
385
00:23:21,067 --> 00:23:24,107
So I'm just gonna drink
some coffee and think about it.
386
00:23:37,431 --> 00:23:41,491
How strong of a mind do you
need to have to win this game?
387
00:23:41,591 --> 00:23:44,532
I don't know the answer
to that question.
388
00:23:44,632 --> 00:23:47,293
Maybe it's less about strength
389
00:23:47,393 --> 00:23:50,654
and more about
your personality,
390
00:23:50,754 --> 00:23:53,614
the way you're wired.
391
00:23:53,714 --> 00:23:55,695
I was thinking about my mom.
392
00:23:55,795 --> 00:23:59,936
When I was young,
the cows got out, and...
393
00:24:02,156 --> 00:24:04,857
My dad sent...
394
00:24:04,957 --> 00:24:08,738
my two older brothers and I
to get them.
395
00:24:08,838 --> 00:24:12,219
So we were hiking along,
and I couldn't keep up.
396
00:24:12,319 --> 00:24:14,379
And I got so tired
that I thought,
397
00:24:14,479 --> 00:24:16,140
man, I just can't make it.
398
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,340
And I just laid down
on the ground,
399
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,141
and I was just
looking at the sky.
400
00:24:21,241 --> 00:24:23,461
I was cold, tired,
401
00:24:23,561 --> 00:24:26,342
and I thought I might die.
402
00:24:26,442 --> 00:24:29,263
And I fell asleep.
403
00:24:29,363 --> 00:24:33,064
And I woke up to my mom,
404
00:24:33,164 --> 00:24:36,544
her hand on my shoulder.
405
00:24:36,644 --> 00:24:38,905
I was like, oh, man,
she's gonna rescue me.
406
00:24:39,005 --> 00:24:40,745
She's here for me.
407
00:24:40,845 --> 00:24:43,746
I'm saved.
408
00:24:43,846 --> 00:24:46,467
That's not what happened.
409
00:24:46,567 --> 00:24:47,867
She said, Nathan,
410
00:24:47,967 --> 00:24:49,428
you're supposed to be
getting the cows.
411
00:24:49,528 --> 00:24:50,908
Why are you laying here
on the ground?
412
00:24:51,008 --> 00:24:52,908
You need to get up
and go join your brothers
413
00:24:53,008 --> 00:24:55,109
and bring those cows home.
414
00:24:58,530 --> 00:25:00,030
So...
415
00:25:02,211 --> 00:25:06,271
I got up,
and I started walking again.
416
00:25:06,371 --> 00:25:08,032
After a little bit,
I met my brothers.
417
00:25:08,132 --> 00:25:09,872
They were coming back
with the cows,
418
00:25:09,972 --> 00:25:12,753
and I brought the cows home.
419
00:25:12,853 --> 00:25:15,594
I remember feeling like,
wow, I did it.
420
00:25:22,495 --> 00:25:26,116
And my mom could have said,
oh, you poor thing, you know,
421
00:25:26,216 --> 00:25:28,637
let me take you home and
make you some hot chocolate.
422
00:25:30,577 --> 00:25:33,678
She could have been
that kind of mom, right?
423
00:25:33,778 --> 00:25:34,998
She wasn't.
424
00:25:35,098 --> 00:25:38,759
She said, you know,
get up and finish the job.
425
00:25:38,859 --> 00:25:40,920
It's experiencing
those hard things
426
00:25:41,020 --> 00:25:43,120
makes us into
the people that we are.
427
00:25:43,220 --> 00:25:46,401
And if my mom had
just rescued me,
428
00:25:46,501 --> 00:25:48,561
I wouldn't be the person I am.
429
00:25:48,661 --> 00:25:50,562
And that's...
430
00:25:56,303 --> 00:25:59,064
That's what my mom taught us.
431
00:26:10,187 --> 00:26:12,807
You're the best, Mom.
432
00:26:12,907 --> 00:26:15,368
I love you so much.
433
00:26:21,469 --> 00:26:26,170
My family's tradition
around wilderness survival
434
00:26:26,270 --> 00:26:30,651
came from my mother and my
father and their life's work.
435
00:26:30,751 --> 00:26:33,692
I got two poles set up here.
436
00:26:33,792 --> 00:26:36,653
I'll just wait and see
if we get any action.
437
00:26:39,513 --> 00:26:42,654
It's so much a part
of our family culture
438
00:26:42,754 --> 00:26:44,815
that I feel a responsibility
439
00:26:44,915 --> 00:26:48,336
to represent well.
440
00:26:48,436 --> 00:26:52,016
So far,
I have not been successful
441
00:26:52,116 --> 00:26:55,257
in solving
the puzzle of calories.
442
00:26:55,357 --> 00:26:59,218
I have noticed that I've
lost quite a bit of weight.
443
00:26:59,318 --> 00:27:02,259
I feel the lack of energy
444
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,500
and lack of cognitive ability.
445
00:27:10,201 --> 00:27:14,262
This is a difficult thing
to figure out right now.
446
00:27:14,362 --> 00:27:17,662
My game plan is to just
keep trying, not give up.
447
00:27:26,204 --> 00:27:28,105
Oh, my gosh.
448
00:27:33,526 --> 00:27:35,347
.
449
00:27:43,569 --> 00:27:44,789
Oh, yeah, a big--
450
00:27:49,890 --> 00:27:51,590
Wow.
451
00:27:57,012 --> 00:27:58,392
Oh, a big ol' dandy.
452
00:27:58,492 --> 00:28:00,793
Wow.
453
00:28:00,893 --> 00:28:04,674
Wow, that's really exciting.
454
00:28:04,774 --> 00:28:06,914
It feels so good.
455
00:28:07,014 --> 00:28:09,755
This long dry spell of
not catching more fish
456
00:28:09,855 --> 00:28:12,715
has been broken.
457
00:28:12,815 --> 00:28:17,156
Well, I'm not gonna carry this
and all this stuff back
458
00:28:17,256 --> 00:28:19,997
at the same time,
so I'll make two trips.
459
00:28:20,097 --> 00:28:22,038
Whoa.
460
00:28:25,698 --> 00:28:28,639
It's incredible to know
that my need for food
461
00:28:28,739 --> 00:28:32,240
is gonna be satisfied now
for several days.
462
00:28:32,340 --> 00:28:34,561
The best day yet.
463
00:28:34,661 --> 00:28:37,361
I'm really grateful for it.
464
00:28:58,626 --> 00:29:02,127
So I'm just trying to,
like, walk a little.
465
00:29:02,227 --> 00:29:05,928
Circulation.
466
00:29:06,028 --> 00:29:08,008
It's going pretty slow.
467
00:29:14,830 --> 00:29:16,530
Man, I'm exhausted.
468
00:29:19,911 --> 00:29:21,772
I can't go much farther.
469
00:29:21,872 --> 00:29:24,012
I'm pooped.
470
00:29:28,633 --> 00:29:31,414
I'm not doing well.
471
00:29:31,514 --> 00:29:34,235
My heart, my breathing
makes me a little concerned.
472
00:29:36,435 --> 00:29:40,376
I feel like--
I feel like there's a heavy...
473
00:29:40,476 --> 00:29:42,137
weight on my chest
all the time.
474
00:29:42,237 --> 00:29:43,897
And, like, literally every
couple minutes, I have to--
475
00:29:43,997 --> 00:29:46,898
Deep breath
because I feel like
476
00:29:46,998 --> 00:29:48,898
I'm not getting enough oxygen.
477
00:29:51,599 --> 00:29:53,939
It could be from
low blood pressure,
478
00:29:54,039 --> 00:29:57,300
dehydration, malnutrition,
479
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,741
all of the above.
480
00:30:06,442 --> 00:30:09,583
I have no energy for
anything right now.
481
00:30:09,683 --> 00:30:11,143
We're gonna get up.
482
00:30:11,243 --> 00:30:13,864
I just wanna be in the sun.
483
00:30:13,964 --> 00:30:16,105
I'm very winded all the time.
484
00:30:16,205 --> 00:30:18,065
My legs are Jell-O.
485
00:30:18,165 --> 00:30:20,426
I get lightheaded
when I stand up.
486
00:30:20,526 --> 00:30:22,066
Add all those together,
and I just don't know
487
00:30:22,166 --> 00:30:24,426
if I can even hike anymore.
488
00:30:31,608 --> 00:30:35,509
As you see,
everything I do exhausts me.
489
00:30:35,609 --> 00:30:38,530
So it's not like
we could do a whole lot.
490
00:30:41,370 --> 00:30:43,591
I'm a licensed vet tech,
and I tell clients--
491
00:30:43,691 --> 00:30:46,832
they always have the question,
when do I put my animals down?
492
00:30:46,932 --> 00:30:49,032
How do you know?
493
00:30:49,132 --> 00:30:51,113
I say,
494
00:30:51,213 --> 00:30:53,673
mark on a calendar
when the bad days
495
00:30:53,773 --> 00:30:55,794
outnumber the good.
496
00:30:58,855 --> 00:31:01,595
And a lot of people
bring their animals in,
497
00:31:01,695 --> 00:31:06,036
carrying them because they
can't walk, they can't eat.
498
00:31:06,136 --> 00:31:09,557
They're suffering.
They're in pain.
499
00:31:09,657 --> 00:31:12,918
And that's their decision.
That's fine.
500
00:31:14,858 --> 00:31:16,599
In my opinion,
501
00:31:16,699 --> 00:31:20,400
don't let them
get to that point.
502
00:31:20,500 --> 00:31:23,760
Why let them go out
in pain and suffering?
503
00:31:23,860 --> 00:31:27,601
Let them go out on a day that
they can walk on their own.
504
00:31:27,701 --> 00:31:31,722
We love them so much that
we hang on till the very end.
505
00:31:31,822 --> 00:31:34,483
We have to be strong enough,
I feel, to...
506
00:31:36,143 --> 00:31:38,764
Realise that they need--
507
00:31:38,864 --> 00:31:41,605
they might need
to go before that.
508
00:31:43,825 --> 00:31:45,966
It's getting hard.
509
00:31:46,066 --> 00:31:48,046
I wanna walk out of here
on my own,
510
00:31:48,146 --> 00:31:52,047
and I'm almost to the point
where I can't do that.
511
00:31:52,147 --> 00:31:54,368
Man, it hurts.
512
00:31:54,468 --> 00:31:56,728
I don't want the safety team
to come in
513
00:31:56,828 --> 00:31:59,849
and have to scoop me up with
a shovel and take me out.
514
00:32:04,870 --> 00:32:06,571
I don't need to prove
anything to anybody else.
515
00:32:06,671 --> 00:32:09,531
I don't need to prove
anything to myself anymore.
516
00:32:11,712 --> 00:32:15,093
I'm just tired of
fighting with myself.
517
00:32:15,193 --> 00:32:16,693
I wanna go out
with my boots on.
518
00:32:16,793 --> 00:32:20,574
I wanna go out kicking,
go out on a good day.
519
00:32:26,595 --> 00:32:28,896
This is Kelsey.
520
00:32:28,996 --> 00:32:31,897
I'm officially tapping out.
521
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,300
I'm exhausted.
I can barely stand.
522
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:50,701
When I walk, it feels like
523
00:32:50,801 --> 00:32:53,382
there's a cinder block
on my chest.
524
00:32:53,482 --> 00:32:54,902
So I know I'm just
getting weaker.
525
00:32:55,002 --> 00:32:57,263
And I hate to use that W word,
but I'm--
526
00:32:57,363 --> 00:32:58,583
I'm there.
527
00:32:58,683 --> 00:33:01,704
But I'm proud.
I'm proud of what I did.
528
00:33:01,804 --> 00:33:04,544
You know, I've never gone a day
in my life without food.
529
00:33:04,644 --> 00:33:07,225
And I've done a lot of days
without food,
530
00:33:07,325 --> 00:33:09,105
you know, and did a lot.
531
00:33:09,205 --> 00:33:11,426
I just wanna go out
on a good day,
532
00:33:11,526 --> 00:33:14,066
and that I'm not leaving
because I hate it.
533
00:33:14,166 --> 00:33:16,267
I'm just leaving because
this journey needs to end,
534
00:33:16,367 --> 00:33:18,788
and another one needs to begin.
535
00:33:18,888 --> 00:33:21,548
Yeah.
536
00:33:23,609 --> 00:33:25,909
I came in as the underdog,
537
00:33:26,009 --> 00:33:28,350
with people doubting me,
538
00:33:28,450 --> 00:33:31,191
with me even doubting
some of my skills.
539
00:33:31,291 --> 00:33:32,991
I've accomplished things
that I didn't know
540
00:33:33,091 --> 00:33:34,951
that I could accomplish.
541
00:33:35,051 --> 00:33:38,352
But it was a lot harder
than I thought, mentally.
542
00:33:38,452 --> 00:33:40,713
I had so many meltdowns,
543
00:33:40,813 --> 00:33:42,953
but then I pep talked
my way back up.
544
00:33:43,053 --> 00:33:44,514
The animals really helped me.
545
00:33:44,614 --> 00:33:47,194
And I know that's weird
to say that,
546
00:33:47,294 --> 00:33:49,795
but, man, they built me up.
547
00:33:49,895 --> 00:33:52,636
This experience will
help me with the rescue
548
00:33:52,736 --> 00:33:54,316
because if the animals
549
00:33:54,416 --> 00:33:56,076
were being malnourished
and starved,
550
00:33:56,176 --> 00:33:58,197
if they were dumped on
the side of the road,
551
00:33:58,297 --> 00:34:01,598
cold and wet and hungry,
I can truly
552
00:34:01,698 --> 00:34:04,198
make them comfortable
because I've been through it
553
00:34:04,298 --> 00:34:06,519
here in South Africa.
554
00:34:06,619 --> 00:34:09,400
I feel like I represented
women very well,
555
00:34:09,500 --> 00:34:12,360
being the first woman
to shoot a big game animal
556
00:34:12,460 --> 00:34:16,401
and having the grit
to endure storms,
557
00:34:16,501 --> 00:34:20,082
rains, many flash floods
and not giving up
558
00:34:20,182 --> 00:34:23,523
until your body physically
can't go anymore.
559
00:34:23,623 --> 00:34:27,404
And I do feel like I've let
women know that you absolutely
560
00:34:27,504 --> 00:34:29,164
can go out all by yourself.
561
00:34:29,264 --> 00:34:31,285
You absolutely can do that.
562
00:34:31,385 --> 00:34:33,605
You just have to go and do it.
563
00:34:33,705 --> 00:34:36,126
My journey here has ended,
but my story
564
00:34:36,226 --> 00:34:38,206
has just begun being written.
565
00:34:38,306 --> 00:34:41,687
Now nobody can call me
an underdog ever again.
566
00:34:41,787 --> 00:34:44,968
I am a force to
be reckoned with.
567
00:35:19,676 --> 00:35:22,977
My daughter, Eliza, before
I came out, she said, Dad,
568
00:35:23,077 --> 00:35:25,057
you just have to do
one thing for me.
569
00:35:25,157 --> 00:35:26,298
And I said, why?
570
00:35:26,398 --> 00:35:27,538
She didn't give me
an explanation.
571
00:35:27,638 --> 00:35:28,978
She just said,
it'll be meaningful to me.
572
00:35:29,078 --> 00:35:30,579
Just do it.
573
00:35:33,919 --> 00:35:36,220
And that's write "No Regrets."
574
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,100
And you have to
spell it like this.
575
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:39,941
And she showed me.
576
00:35:40,041 --> 00:35:43,942
So I decided to name
the shelter
577
00:35:44,042 --> 00:35:45,942
Fort No Regrets--
578
00:35:46,042 --> 00:35:47,663
"Regrats."
579
00:35:47,763 --> 00:35:50,983
And because that's
meaningful to you, Eliza,
580
00:35:51,083 --> 00:35:53,504
it's meaningful to me.
581
00:35:53,604 --> 00:35:54,984
I like it.
582
00:35:55,084 --> 00:35:57,745
I'm gonna drink some coffee.
583
00:35:57,845 --> 00:36:01,906
I know it's been a month,
but the time has just flown.
584
00:36:02,006 --> 00:36:04,227
I'm sure part of that was just
because I was so busy trying
585
00:36:04,327 --> 00:36:07,387
to solve the puzzle here.
586
00:36:07,487 --> 00:36:09,708
And I'm looking forward to
slowing down a little bit more
587
00:36:09,808 --> 00:36:11,668
and just enjoying
the pleasure of being
588
00:36:11,768 --> 00:36:13,589
in this beautiful place.
589
00:36:15,409 --> 00:36:17,670
I'm gonna get that catfish
head cooking in here.
590
00:36:17,770 --> 00:36:19,990
And that's all I have
planned at the moment.
591
00:36:29,733 --> 00:36:32,313
The crew is coming by
to do a med check.
592
00:36:39,775 --> 00:36:41,875
I just saw the team
pull up in a boat.
593
00:37:06,741 --> 00:37:08,882
No.
594
00:37:08,982 --> 00:37:10,002
The weather's
been fantastic--
595
00:37:10,102 --> 00:37:11,362
a little windy at times,
596
00:37:11,462 --> 00:37:13,463
which is great for
drying out meat, so.
597
00:37:16,624 --> 00:37:18,004
No, I still need
to build a door.
598
00:37:18,104 --> 00:37:21,005
But honestly,
I call it a fort because
599
00:37:21,105 --> 00:37:23,485
I feel like a kid again
out here.
600
00:37:23,585 --> 00:37:26,686
I feel like I'm just out here
playing and having a good time.
601
00:37:26,786 --> 00:37:28,927
It's an amazing opportunity.
602
00:37:29,027 --> 00:37:33,528
And the reason I can do that
is that my kids support it.
603
00:37:40,509 --> 00:37:42,450
I feel like a kid
again out here.
604
00:37:42,550 --> 00:37:45,691
I feel like I'm just out here
playing and having a good time.
605
00:37:45,791 --> 00:37:47,411
It's an amazing opportunity.
606
00:37:47,511 --> 00:37:51,812
And the reason I can do that
is that my kids support it.
607
00:37:51,912 --> 00:37:53,132
And--
608
00:37:53,232 --> 00:37:54,373
What about your kids?
609
00:37:54,473 --> 00:37:55,733
Oh, my God.
610
00:37:58,474 --> 00:37:59,374
What in the world?
611
00:37:59,474 --> 00:38:00,974
Isaiah.
612
00:38:03,795 --> 00:38:05,375
You won.
613
00:38:08,916 --> 00:38:10,096
I love you, man.
614
00:38:10,196 --> 00:38:11,697
I love you too.
615
00:38:15,077 --> 00:38:17,178
Wow, look at you.
You're right here.
616
00:38:17,278 --> 00:38:19,258
- Yeah, you look terrible.
- Holy smokes.
617
00:38:19,358 --> 00:38:22,419
Oh, my God.
618
00:38:22,519 --> 00:38:23,780
Oh, wow.
619
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:25,420
I love you, Dad.
620
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:26,700
And the world traveler--
621
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:27,940
Yeah.
622
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:29,541
And you're down here
in South Africa now, huh?
623
00:38:29,641 --> 00:38:31,021
Yeah.
624
00:38:31,121 --> 00:38:33,902
Oh, my gosh.
625
00:38:34,002 --> 00:38:35,262
I'm so excited.
626
00:38:35,362 --> 00:38:36,583
Oh, it's so good to see you.
627
00:38:36,683 --> 00:38:38,943
Holy smokes.
628
00:38:39,043 --> 00:38:41,224
- You gonna give me the tour?
- I would love to.
629
00:38:41,324 --> 00:38:42,864
Unbelievable.
630
00:38:45,765 --> 00:38:47,185
"Fort No Regrats."
631
00:38:49,446 --> 00:38:52,146
Holy crap, Dad.
632
00:38:52,246 --> 00:38:55,627
Unbelievable, but totally
believable at the same time.
633
00:38:57,447 --> 00:38:58,508
It's not bad.
634
00:38:58,608 --> 00:39:01,268
No, it's super comfortable.
635
00:39:01,368 --> 00:39:02,869
- Wow.
- Yeah.
636
00:39:02,969 --> 00:39:04,869
Remember, Eliza asked me
to write that somewhere?
637
00:39:04,969 --> 00:39:06,950
I decided just to name the--
638
00:39:07,050 --> 00:39:08,950
name the shelter that.
639
00:39:09,050 --> 00:39:10,070
They're all doing great,
by the way.
640
00:39:10,170 --> 00:39:12,831
Everybody's good.
- Oh, that's so good to hear.
641
00:39:12,931 --> 00:39:14,832
I knew that was true.
- Yeah.
642
00:39:14,932 --> 00:39:16,552
You guys are amazing.
643
00:39:19,293 --> 00:39:20,873
So yeah, let me show you.
644
00:39:20,973 --> 00:39:23,114
I can't believe it.
645
00:39:23,214 --> 00:39:24,554
I'm so excited.
646
00:39:24,654 --> 00:39:27,475
And there's a sense of relief.
647
00:39:27,575 --> 00:39:28,955
Well, do you wanna
eat some catfish head?
648
00:39:29,055 --> 00:39:30,875
- Yeah, let's do it.
- All right.
649
00:39:30,975 --> 00:39:32,596
I don't have to
struggle anymore.
650
00:39:32,696 --> 00:39:34,956
I set out to do this,
and I did it.
651
00:39:35,056 --> 00:39:37,757
I'm feeling all of these
emotions at the same time.
652
00:39:37,857 --> 00:39:39,437
It feels good.
653
00:39:39,537 --> 00:39:41,478
Ta-da!
654
00:39:41,578 --> 00:39:42,998
Let's go sit by the water.
655
00:39:43,098 --> 00:39:45,679
It means so much to me
to have Isaiah here.
656
00:39:45,779 --> 00:39:48,840
I've thought so much about him
while I've been out here.
657
00:39:48,940 --> 00:39:51,640
I'm glad that he gets to be
here and be a part of it.
658
00:39:51,740 --> 00:39:53,081
Let's eat.
659
00:39:53,181 --> 00:39:54,801
It's just a beautiful thing.
660
00:39:54,901 --> 00:39:56,001
This is massive.
661
00:39:56,101 --> 00:39:57,602
Look at the size of
the mouth on that thing.
662
00:39:57,702 --> 00:39:58,962
Wow.
663
00:39:59,062 --> 00:40:02,283
And the head is just
full of fat and muscle.
664
00:40:02,383 --> 00:40:04,283
There's so much food in
a single catfish head.
665
00:40:04,383 --> 00:40:05,403
It's amazing.
666
00:40:05,503 --> 00:40:08,204
- Give me a meaty piece.
- Okay.
667
00:40:08,304 --> 00:40:12,005
So yeah, the cheek meat is
really good, so right in there.
668
00:40:12,105 --> 00:40:13,445
Oh, wow.
669
00:40:13,545 --> 00:40:15,046
- Yeah.
- Cheers.
670
00:40:15,146 --> 00:40:16,966
Yeah, let me get a piece too.
671
00:40:17,066 --> 00:40:19,007
All right.
Love you, son.
672
00:40:19,107 --> 00:40:22,047
I love you too.
673
00:40:22,147 --> 00:40:23,128
Mm.
674
00:40:23,228 --> 00:40:24,888
It's not bad.
I mean, it's--
675
00:40:27,029 --> 00:40:29,409
It's so fun
to hang out with my son,
676
00:40:29,509 --> 00:40:32,170
just enjoy this spot.
677
00:40:32,270 --> 00:40:34,610
When you really feel that
closeness with your children,
678
00:40:34,710 --> 00:40:36,891
there's nothing better
than that in life.
679
00:40:36,991 --> 00:40:39,452
Money is like
the cherry on top
680
00:40:39,552 --> 00:40:42,892
because I had some of
the most fun of my life,
681
00:40:42,992 --> 00:40:45,493
enjoying the opportunity
to have this kind of
682
00:40:45,593 --> 00:40:48,814
an adventure,
to be challenged in this way,
683
00:40:48,914 --> 00:40:52,295
to really have left behind
all the cares of life,
684
00:40:52,395 --> 00:40:55,495
all the responsibilities
of being an adult
685
00:40:55,595 --> 00:41:00,496
in our modern world,
and to reset the clock,
686
00:41:00,596 --> 00:41:05,218
behaving out here just like
my 12-year-old self--
687
00:41:05,318 --> 00:41:09,219
hiking, building a fort,
trying to hunt,
688
00:41:09,319 --> 00:41:11,499
trying to fish.
689
00:41:11,599 --> 00:41:13,700
Having the opportunity
to relive
690
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:17,020
those childhood experiences
was deeply satisfying.
691
00:41:19,081 --> 00:41:21,701
Not that it was easy,
not that I didn't suffer,
692
00:41:21,801 --> 00:41:25,582
but that's a big part
of the reason I'm here.
693
00:41:25,682 --> 00:41:30,063
The human experience
includes suffering.
694
00:41:30,163 --> 00:41:32,144
It's the other side of
suffering that creates
695
00:41:32,244 --> 00:41:34,224
the opportunity for joy.
696
00:41:34,324 --> 00:41:35,985
You can't have one
without the other.
697
00:41:36,085 --> 00:41:39,346
And that is one
of the best parts.
698
00:41:39,446 --> 00:41:41,866
If you can have experiences
that really test you,
699
00:41:41,966 --> 00:41:44,547
you also get the opportunity
to have
700
00:41:44,647 --> 00:41:48,708
the joy and fun that follow.
701
00:41:48,808 --> 00:41:50,548
One of my takeaways
from this experience
702
00:41:50,648 --> 00:41:53,189
is the deep joy
in our life really
703
00:41:53,289 --> 00:41:56,470
comes from the relationships
we have with other people.
704
00:41:56,570 --> 00:41:59,230
I think it's one of the
biggest lessons of "Alone."
705
00:41:59,330 --> 00:42:02,871
And the time I've had
out here to reflect
706
00:42:02,971 --> 00:42:06,832
on each of my children,
on Erica, on my mom,
707
00:42:06,932 --> 00:42:10,873
my love for them has just
continued to deepen.
708
00:42:10,973 --> 00:42:13,154
This is a theme that
other "Alone" participants
709
00:42:13,254 --> 00:42:14,954
just keep coming back to.
710
00:42:15,054 --> 00:42:18,355
We're showing our children we
have the courage to go for it.
711
00:42:18,455 --> 00:42:21,916
And we want you to do
the same thing in your life.
712
00:42:22,016 --> 00:42:24,636
When you have an opportunity,
seize that opportunity.
713
00:42:24,736 --> 00:42:27,957
This is a chance
in a lifetime.
714
00:42:28,057 --> 00:42:30,718
Coming and having
the courage to do this,
715
00:42:30,818 --> 00:42:34,359
and then to be successful
at it, it feels like momentum.
716
00:42:34,459 --> 00:42:37,839
I have renewed energy
to play the game of life
717
00:42:37,939 --> 00:42:40,320
with more focus and intensity,
718
00:42:40,420 --> 00:42:43,201
and take advantage
of this amazing opportunity
719
00:42:43,301 --> 00:42:45,361
that we get to be alive.
720
00:42:50,062 --> 00:42:53,223
You did it.
