last time on wilderness living challenge

season four we pack up our first camp

and paddle up the river

deeper into the wilds of canada seeking

to harvest more food along the way

and survive off the wild game we've

already harvested up to this point

cut all of the sticks so they

approximately be flat with the ground

and it makes a bench

so we can sit somewhere nice by the fire

and pluck the birds

cheers cheers and now

day four of seven day wilderness living

challenge

good morning i've been awake for like an

hour just laying here i feel sick

thinking about

fever and bear fat stew

and we got ducks i don't want to waste

anything

i feel like i've been eating a little

bit less every day it's like that's

so much more and more filling i don't

really

need as much with all that fat

and uh yeah i think we're gonna head up

and down the river and get some more

ducks

look into preserving the food that we do

have here at our new camp

let's see what else i can't find around

here to build to make my little camp

more comfortable

a little bit of a headache one thing

that's gonna solve that is getting up

and getting going

getting some liquids and getting some

coffee

let's get this day going

[Music]

looks like an early bird beat me to the

worm he's already down here posted up

do you see anything i wasn't set up in

time

i heard one fly right over here so i

thought i'd sit up on this side watch

them come up the uh

channel oh oh here's some keys

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

there we go

[Music]

[Music]

uh

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

so

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

i remove it smoke's going that way

[Music]

and uh so we pretty much have the same

amount of gear except for mine is all

the extra cameras beyond his i have

three more cameras than he has

the drone and then the charging system

for all that

and the solar panel that rolls out

beautiful cool morning to sit by

the fire for a little bit read my

waterproof bible

[Music]

what do you think you guys give up or

you're thirsty for more

they hungry i think it's time to invite

the community because we can't eat this

anymore that's not a good sign let me

tell you that

it's fasting finally

we've reached our limit on beaver stew

yeah

but are you why oh yeah

i told my camera you want the whole

story yeah so

last night okay let me cover this back

up last night

i felt really sick and i woke up i was

trying to hold it down and i woke up i'm

like i gotta go walk and see what

happens so

and walking around a little bit and i

was dry heaving a little bit and i

find a spot for myself and kind of curl

up in a ball

uh crouched over and uh

nothing happened and then i you know

came out the other end i thought

that's good maybe that was the problem

so you know

how much tmi for your audience right it

was a squirt anyway

it squirted a bit it was it was tarry it

was black

but that but i had a good one the other

day so i thought i was all good anyway

got that out i felt a little bit better

and then i got the shivers i'm like this

actually feels good just to shiver in

the cold

so i think i just had to burn some

calories off and then i'm like oh maybe

i'll try to throw up a little bit

because my stomach was like

huge from meeting all that stuff last

night so i threw up a little bit

yeah what a handful and i'm like that's

good and i went back to bed and

everything was good fine after that so

you felt good when you slept

yeah i felt fine after i slept yeah yeah

well after i threw up a little bit just

a handful

and does it so you're hungry for it now

i'm not hungry

at all i don't know it's hard to say if

i'm hungry for it now

i'm not hungry right now i still the fun

of eating

i i didn't throw up but i felt like for

the last three hours before i got out of

bed i felt a little nauseous like

yeah like motion sickness zach says he's

not feeling too well he's not a he's not

a boatsman he's a boat builder but he's

not too

all about cadoos and stuff yeah i've

done plenty canoe trips and things so

i've never

i don't know just not feeling well i

just yeah i feel a little hinky not bad

but just like a little just like a like

a five percent just enough that like you

know what i don't feel like eating

um it doesn't make me feel like i'm

lagging or anything i feel

body wise it feels strong i feel 100

percent like i can do

physical activity i don't feel ill like

i don't feel weak i just you know not at

all

not hungry like overly full like you eat

uh

not like you ate a turkey dinner and you

want to take a nap but like

i don't know like satiated like so

satiated that i'm like

all set and i i think that a lot of

people get carried away with like

oh it's it's meal time let's let's eat

breakfast you know and

oh okay it's uh lunch time let's eat you

know but like maybe when you're eating

the right foods and you eat enough of it

you know you don't need to overeat you

can you eat enough

satiated you go and burn it off we'll go

paddle or we'll go hiking look for

grouse

we'll burn it off and we'll come back

with an actual appetite and eat again

kind of thing i think last night

probably what i did was i forced

it yeah you know when i said like my

last bite of apple sauce and i just ate

it

yeah i feel like i could have stood me

in it was just too much i put as much on

my

i ate as what was on my plate i did the

whole like plate clearing thing

yeah you know and i think that that's a

bad thing to do you know it's like

you know we're always wanting to do that

to your kids like you oh i put that on

your plate you got to eat it yeah

but like it you need to eat what you

need to eat and then you'd be done with

it and say

enough's enough if you want to uh you

know maintain a healthy weight and not

overeat yeah so that's where we're at on

the wilderness living challenge

we're excessive to the point of

gluttonous yeah you gotta just

tone it back a little bit and listen to

what our body tells us but as far as i

know that we've been like that from the

beginning and i was still

as of yesterday i had lost you know like

three pounds so let's see how it goes

towards the end

we still got what five more days

maybe if we start keep having so much

fun out here we'll just stay out here

forever yep

you'll never see us again we'll never

post these videos and we'll just be out

here somewhere

lost in the wild of canada somebody will

find this card and edit it all together

for us yeah

this will be like the like they find the

old information like

they never came back you know what was

that uh jeremiah johnson he's still up

there in the mountains

like the myth

but it's nice to see so much wildlife

you know you

go to other places and you don't see

anything we're this far out here we're

seeing all kinds of wildlife

i don't know and the list of things that

we've seen since we've been here we saw

a moose we didn't manage to get it on

camera it was coming up and out of the

river

a couple days ago and we even saw the

hind corridors of

a lynx going into the bushes and it was

like

oh wow neither of us had ever seen that

before in person that was awesome

lots of wildlife

all right let's see

two bars see if we can get some more

juice in there so i can charge my stuff

and i'm gonna head on over to my

little site here i just saw something

what is that

i didn't notice this last night when i

was setting up

there's my little spot

oh hammocking up in here all nice and

cozy

but i just seen something up here

there's some

[Music]

what is that some ribbon out here in the

woods

[Music]

what in the world

oh there's a giant pit

[Music]

wow there's a big old pit down there

that's like i don't know

like eight feet deep i wonder how deep

the water is underneath of there

that's kind of creepy must be like a

mining test hole or something

i'm camped just over the hill from this

creepy hole like something from the

ring i think i hate horror movies don't

watch horror movies

but i think i watched the ring

oh stuff crawling out of wells

that's gross i'm going to picture that

tonight while i'm in my bag

i hear noises out here something

crawling up out of here coming after me

in the night

oh why do i have to think about that

now i got the willies i gotta explore

some more so i

know what it's here for so i don't think

about stuff like that

yikes

[Music]

gonna be thinking about zombie mooses

coming out of there

all ticked off that they fell in a whole

man-made hole

my dad told me a story about when he was

a kid he watched uh

deliverance and he was afraid to go in

the woods for like a month

and before i went to patagonia for 87

days surviving out there

i watched a sasquatch

a scary sasquatch movie and uh

i had some nightmares out there you hear

the thumping on the trees

i don't know what it was and there

wasn't supposed to be anybody

in any of those directions and i heard

thumping in the woods and you hear the

mountains crumbling all the time

and you hear rocks coming off the tops

of the mountains out there

but but the thumping was just

a bit unnerving and i don't know i like

to think it was a woodpecker i kept

telling myself it was a woodpecker but

there's this weird

thumping that was so consistent and then

it was stopped for a while and didn't

sound like a woodpecker i've ever heard

to thump on something so big

make such a big bang on such a big

racket

sounded more like a big four or eight

inch log

being smashed against a giant tree

with lots of force and that

sasquatch movie where they got

it was one of those stupid movies it was

all put together by a supposed camera

that was found in the woods by other

hikers

and they brought it back and made the

movie and oh gave me some nightmares out

there sometimes

not what you need when you're out there

alone so i don't recommend watching

scary movies

not fun

[Applause]

all right so we're making grouse ducking

since we don't have a stuff to make a

bushcraft turducken

fully it's just gonna be a two bird

grouse ducking

i'm gonna take the grouse jam it inside

the duck

sounds so funny first you take the

grouse

you clean your grouse got your duck

you clean your duck and you jam it

inside the duck

and i'm gonna cook it over the fire to

burn off the little bit of

duff on her that we haven't gotten off

completely it was a hard pluck this one

but she's ready to go and i'm gonna use

some of chris's

adobo as my seasoning spice for all of

this

let's get to it i'm hoping that this

will bring back my appetite by cooking

something the smell of juices and things

like that

it's coming up on noontime here and i'm

still not even all that hungry

but this will be different than eating a

beaver so hopefully that

brings back that powerful appetite i

always have

[Music]

and she's in adobo on the outside of the

duck

all right so chris hasn't seen this part

this is the secret part of my secret

recipe for my

grouse ducking is i got a big old hunk

of bear fat

so it's almost a grouse bear

ducking i guess i'm gonna jam that in

there so it gets in

gets uh as it melts down and while it's

cooking

it it's like putting butter inside of a

burger and making a really juicy burger

that way

just get it in there this isn't

creepy or weird at all is it let's pack

that

duck grousing with uh some bear fat

i'm gonna tie the legs here on her

clothes so she doesn't fall apart

get in there get in there you grossing

she fits just barely

oh all right there we go

all right now i'm gonna put them on my

roasting stick i'm gonna try and roast

it

till uh dinner time so i got a stick and

i used a little y down here that'll mean

that uh it keeps the bird from slipping

around once it's in here

and that way i can rotate it without it

flopping

one way versus the other stick went

right through come on

come on duck grousing

it comes boom nailed it

i think i want it like like so

oh yeah all right what do you think

this is a good idea or a bad idea

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

my bird is on got my adjustable sticks

here and here so i can

raise and lower it at different levels

and bring it closer or further from the

fire

i got high hopes for this being like the

most delicious grouse duncan ever made

[Music]

gotta get some heat on here all right

so we got all this meat now we're gonna

find a way to store it

we're gonna pick what we're gonna

actually believe we'll eat and then

make some refrigeration for the rest

[Music]

so there's our moss

cover that up

people used to make freezers and ice

chests like this

for a very very long time they just

didn't have the benefit of the plastic

there we go that pretty much does it

nice little

in-ground refrigerator now we can feel

secure

that our meat will be safe we won't be

wasting anything

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

here

[Music]

i'm ready

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

want to walk the trail over there yeah

let's check it out if there's any growth

[Music]

[Music]

well there's yeah i'll go that way you

go that way

and we'll see what we get come back in

half an hour

yeah uh don't walk for like 20 minutes

and then turn around come back

i don't have a watch well we'll just

guess okay you know

yep all right splitting up the team to

cover more ground

increase our odds of actually getting a

grouse or at least increasing my odds of

getting a grouse he's always out in

front

taking all the shots of the ducks and uh

admittedly is a better shot so it's just

better we're working on this teamwork so

that's all right

it's no big deal i go this way by myself

maybe i can get another grouse of the

slingshot if there's a good advantage if

he's too far off

i won't risk it and i'll just use the

shotgun

look at that big old moose track

down this uh slightly rougher trail

here's another one

i uh trail split back there for the

four-wheelers have been going

a bunch and so i took the one last

traveled

and uh so far hasn't paid off no grouse

and lots of sticks to climb over that's

probably why they haven't been out this

way lately

and the moose isn't the only thing

that's out here

got some wolf tracks right there

not the only one out here even though it

feels like it

what a beautiful place

i haven't heard anything from chris's

direction so i'm guessing he hasn't had

any better luck

oh man would you look at that

i wish i could take that home with me

the perfect

giant slingshot i want to build a giant

slingshot for a video at home

no luck no luck you heard something out

here

yeah groceries drumming in here so we

can do a little bit of bushwacker see if

we get one all right

[Music]

nice another grouse there we go that's

the one we heard drumming probably

probably yeah there we go

hey see it takes two i i saw it you and

you heard it tomatoes go in the

direction we thought it might be

thank you tag team beauty all right just

jam them in there

we'll clean up the mess another time

there we go perfect one bird

try not to make a mess no worries that's

what the satchel's for

did you get the other one no no just the

one that you got

let's go back and cook this puppy all

right so

if you're wondering how we have water we

got a platypus you fill up that bag with

dirty water

and i'll show you when we get up to the

camp if hook it up to a filter and it

runs into a clean one so we just pushed

off the shore

get the water over out here instead of

the

swampy water close to land

all right so we got our platypus here

with the dirty water and we just barely

hooked up it's already running down

through the filter into the clean bag

and filled that much

water purified and when you're done you

simply

unhook this here and that's what you use

to fill your water bottles

and just there's your close-off valve

open it up fill your bottle or your pot

your cook pot whatever

close it off again let's see how the

grouse ducking is doing

ooh not too bad

a little bit on that side cooked but

we weren't here to tend the fire so

it still needs a lot of work

[Music]

thought

there we go nice to close the fire

[Music]

that should do

[Music]

oh doesn't that just look delicious but

it's bear meat

so we don't want to be eating it with

pink and rare we got to make sure it's

fully cooked through

because with bare meat you can get

trichinosis so you got to make sure it's

cooked fully through

[Music]

some adobo that's the good stuff right

there bring out the flavor

[Music]

[Music]

all right it's done look at that

oh right there look at that doesn't that

just look delicious

cooked in bear fat

[Music]

oh that is so good

that's adobo yeah we're double double

adobo is a brand we're dope with my

brand

oh yeah what do you think it's good

fresh

oh it's good fresh like the the one that

we stood in the pot

the first night was so tough compared to

this

this is the way to win right here we're

frying it right up in the bear fat

[Music]

brush growth and bear fat could be dark

and madobo all right she's done

been cooking for about six hours

let's see how i did

if it comes apart

[Applause]

it's cooked all the way through

[Music]

oh look at that yep there we go

grouse ducking looks like it's cooked

through

i'm seeing uh you know the meat comes

right off the grouse

so

it's juicy it's actually

that's actually pretty juicy it melts in

your mouth

um maybe that has a lot to do with that

look at that big old chunk of bear fat

right there still

hanging out inside it's been melting and

and dissolving its uh

fatty goodness into the into the meats

and um the grouse actually is really

good with the uh

adobo spice on it

let's try the duck

duck's a bit on the dry side

[Applause]

it's not coming apart all that great but

a little duck leg

[Music]

not too shabby

gross ducking

feels like it's missing something but

being wrapped in bacon would probably

bacon wrapped grouse stuck in now that

would be awesome

next time on fowler's makery mischief

bacon wrapped grouse duncan

but it's pretty awesome crabs i got my

slingshot

hey chris you wanna give it a try yeah

man

just like that yeah just like that let's

grab onto the spit there and

which would you recommend the growth of

the duncan actually the grouse is

probably the better of the two it if it

needed some more adobo

or something because it kind of got

rubbed off or something but because of

the bear fat

it it smells good and it cooked it

cooked good

it was fine that's good yeah it's not

it's nothing to write home about right i

mean it's like

it's it's more than edible but so

it's a spit roast right it's always a

challenge to spit roast everything

yeah um like did you do a leg

the turkey yeah grab it rip it right off

the turkey i did last year over the fire

here you know that

there you go all right turkeys seem to

do well over the fire

oh you can eat it yeah you can eat it i

don't know that doesn't end up a little

on the chewy side but

it's always chewy when you spit roast

yeah oh no that turkey i did over the

fire

turkeys they well they inject it with

butter

i didn't inject it with butter i roasted

it first was it like was it a butterball

turkey they inject their they really

yeah they stick a lot of fat in there

no no mine was a organically raised

farm-raised turkey

and i did it over the fire and i

actually never even put any butter pads

on to it it's just

slow but they're fattier even if they're

organic and all that stuff they're a

fattier bird than

a wild bird so there's always a there's

always that right

people that maybe you guys don't take

into account when you

so you should spit well those things

that the wild animals are very very lean

to start with

yeah you you if you end up with

something even edible after spit

roasting a wild

animal then then you're actually doing

okay i think right

it's not bad yeah we're

congratulations i think i just had some

shot or something
