and now day five of seven day wilderness

living challenge

good morning it's like 6 30 it's really

still pretty dark but there's a scooch

of light coming

i'm gonna head right out there get ready

for the ducks

do some early morning duck hunting

[Music]

all right we're up

we're moving

[Music]

[Music]

the coffee water's on go wait for my

shot

at some ducks

[Music]

i'm ready

sounds like we're not the only people

out here here

chainsaws down the way

[Music]

feels like just like being at home in

the woods in maine now

dueling chainsaws going on over there

[Music]

whoops i forgot to turn the mic on when

i switch cameras i'll just have to dub

something over it for you

[Music]

that's good good stuff early morning

stuff

hey how's it going and you know there's

some

trees over there they're really big ones

big you wouldn't believe how big they

are

and you get up to them and then you can

see them

right right over right over there

and over there a couple more over there

and i i was looking at them and i think

they're pines

a couple more up up that way too woods

is full of pines

i like the pines they're my favorite

tree you know

what's your favorite tree i bet you're

more of an oak yeah i like oak

yeah i like uh any tree i can make a

slingshot out of you know me

speaking of slingshots i saw jackalope

last night he ran across the

other side of the river it was pretty

awesome i mean i

only ever seen him stuffed

breakfast served what are you gonna go

for that's the question

a little bit of everything yeah that's

the rule right gross

like a little bit of fat there's a piece

of bear hair in there

gross a little bit of grouse leg

a little bit of

all right i need some more double spikes

on there it does yep

100

adobo spice yeah yeah just yeah right

here

all right there should be some fat

globules which you will be excited about

right um yeah i didn't eat fat globules

yesterday no so i'm putting them back on

the diet today i'll have a couple of

those they're all grizzled up in here

they look so good

yeah they are they are good um

when you do keto according to zach the

preparation is it 50 50 or 60 40. it's

it's 60 40 60 fat to 65 percent fat

in your diet fat calories yes not volume

because no weight

no because volume that you know

yeah yeah like visually it might only be

like like 30

looking fat because the amount of

calories from the fat so

you know i've been eating like 50 fat

it's just trying to eat 50

fat and 50 meat because when you're

protein

yeah protein so when you're surviving on

just meat

it's it's like 80 20 if you don't have

anything else to add into it right yes

so if you're going to be healthy and

things like that mm-hmm

um that tastes so good isn't it little

globules of fat are just like

grizzled up in the pan and tastes so

good and you guys might think we get the

runs from this but we don't get the runs

from this no actually my body's handled

this a hundred percent

uh ninety percent there was one night

where not over eight

and uh that wasn't that was a mistake so

i ended up throwing up a little bit and

uh

having the run but only slightly so

getting the right ratios is key

and after you go through the adaptive

phase which is you think about five or

six days or something like that

yeah and your body's through it and

you're and you're fine well if you're

dropping the sugars at some point yeah

you're gonna go to a

you're going to go through a phase where

it's going to be you know not so good on

your

your stomach and things like that you're

going to be running to the bushes using

up all your

toilet paper whether it be moss or right

otherwise but yeah

there's a lot of calories in there and

we don't have to eat a lot of volume to

get

25 and 3 500 calories because it's

mostly

calories from fat and that's the key to

not filling up

on empty calories and fiber that you

might ordinarily find out in the wild

little bits of fat grizzled up

that's good right that's so good

that's really good that that duck that i

did over the

the grouse ducking actually tastes so

much better chopped up today

and back in here it's got a lot of juice

back into it it doesn't taste dry like

it did a little bit yesterday

bear fat the bear fat yeah bare fat for

the win frying everything up in bear fat

everything bear fat is what's saving us

this year

other fats from animals are not always

palatable especially

animals like deer you would not want to

eat

deer it's too um

the melting point is too high so when

you put it in your mouth it instantly

slowly flies because it's actually too

cold in your mouth to keep it a liquid

so it's not it's not funny yeah i've had

the deer fat and stick to the top of

your mouth

and like coats your mouth and it's like

yeah it's like chalky

or waxy or it's just a weird feeling

yeah it's not a

not pleasant not not like the bear

in season one of the wilderness living

challenge we actually went out

we ate like 18 or 19 pike

without the skin on eating just straight

up protein

every day was a chore um but

having it in fat like this would

probably be

doable

all right getting geared up beautiful

day for it see if i can't make up for

the

lack of uh ducks this morning with

bringing home some grouse for the pot

[Music]

all right so i'm headed out keeping the

sun just at my

one o'clock so when i come back

i'll keep it at my at my opposite

shoulder that way if i don't go for too

long

nice sunny day so it's easy to easy to

keep track of where you are

oh big ol moose poops

oh maybe he's been uh this is where he's

been coming

this is where he came through last night

when chris woke up and heard him

crashing through the woods

that looks like that's fairly fresh

pounded through here

i see a lot of broken limbs

from dead trees his antlers caught on so

he probably came crashing through here

last night he's come crashing through

here other times

those aren't from yesterday

taking advantage of the direction the

moose decided to go look at those big

old prints that was probably for sure

the one that

chris was talking to this morning at

four in the morning

bagel prince headed that way so i'm

working his back trail

taking advantage of the swath he cut

through the woods or the

path he's chosen to use over the years

[Music]

all right i'm gonna head back i'm gonna

keep in the sun

right here at one o'clock two o'clock

somewhere in there

but i wanna come back and end up a

little bit

upstream so i'm not covering the same

trail so i'm going to keep my

the sun right on my left

i want to end up a little upstream so

i'm not covering the same

not covering the same pathway which

would be over that way

i kind of circled this way and now i'm

heading that way

let's see how i do

there we go nailed it

is that a duck or a loon

[Music]

that's a duck

[Music]

all right i just got a duck on the wing

all right now he's got to get the canoe

and retrieve him all right

what happened i came out of the woods at

the river and there was a duck and so i

snuck through the brush

and i shot him on the wing he's down

he's right in the river let's get him

cool let's go all right just to bend

around from the uh

where our campsite is so maybe he'll be

right here in front of the campsite and

i'll just swim out and get it

i'll shoot unless you're like don't

shoot no i'll never say that

i look like unless you're aiming at me

[Music]

yeah

[Music]

grieving the loss of my duck so looking

forward to

you know getting a duck on the wing it

was there

and then i i we went out canoed i flew

the drone look for it with the drone

i can't imagine where it could have gone

you know unfortunately

you know this is the wild animals go

down

somebody will benefit from it somewhere

along the line some animal will

and uh but i also walked up the bank on

this side thinking maybe if it came

try to tuck itself into the bushes and

as i was doing so

a duck flew from the other side of the

river

up and away maybe i just rung his bell

and uh he popped up scooted over there

rested up a bit

and as we paddled by he didn't move and

then when i walked over there he finally

said i'm good

and he took off and he flew right from

across from right where i shot himself

i guess he he either lived hopefully he

lives to fight another day

we've got some bear fat and some bear

meat

we're cooking it up it's gonna be lunch

for today

and then we'll take the bone that's been

cause he's gonna debone it chris is

gonna deboner

and uh nice one

and then we'll be able to have ourselves

some awesome

bear meat we're putting we've been

putting back the beaver

and uh it's just oh there's still a

little bit left but uh

after five days of eating beaver and

bear fat i am looking forward to some

bear meat

that should be good especially after my

my loss today

[Music]

oh probably going on four five days now

and we had it frozen initially

we let it defrost this meat is freezing

cold

in our primitive cooler there is almost

no risk of spoiling for at least two or

three weeks by my

estimation you can always do a sniff

test

if it starts to look green it's probably

not edible anymore but this stuff

this will keep for two weeks and then

probably it's even becoming more tender

as the bacteria starts working on the

meat breaking it down

[Music]

all right bare meat and bear fat with

some wadobo

a little bit of water that's gonna be

good

oh i'm looking forward to this

[Music]

there we go

that's gonna be delicious

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

feels weird not using my shovel but i'm

trying out this hatchet ever since

[Music]

[Music]

this will be a deep water so it won't

matter too much

but uh it's best to have a hobo reel be

smooth at the top so you can zing your

line out there and let it

slide off the end of here you see what

i'm talking about when i rig it up

this one's also for batoning

or clubbing unfinished ducks

it's a survival hatchet so inside of

course is a myriad of different tools

did i unscrew the right part to find the

right tool i did

looking for the knife got a bit of a saw

thing going on some sort of a hook thing

probably work great for sticking it down

there in a fish's mouth and

releasing a hook and uh

comes good and sharp

[Music]

it's pretty smooth somewhere in between

another one of these linkages i think

down at the bottom here

a ferro rod so it's a complete

survival hatchet here hammer head on the

back

let's see if there's a and a compass

which is just as good as any compass

that comes on a survival tool

as long as you know where south is and

you turn it so the

s is facing south that way is always

facing north

and you're good to go there it is

there's a feral rod right there

[Music]

and wind it on to the end for casting

there we go

and one cobo reel

in all our glory let's go fishing

[Music]

let's see how the bear is doing

that's looking good we'll cover this

back up and get out there fishing

[Music]

look at that that was an epic cast

there's like

13 feet that's not bad for a canoe

i i could do it from the shore i can get

like 40 feet but

so no luck on the fish but we finally

made it up to the main lake

check it out here it's just spreads out

before us

we never made it all the way up here the

other day and there's some like

cliffs over there kind of going down

into the water some ledges

and over here it's really steep so it's

probably a lot better fishing but we see

a little clearing here maybe a building

through the woods

i want to take a peek to see if it's

like an old old hunting shack or

something like that that'd be kind of

neat to see

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

is it a shack or is it a palace let's

see oh my goodness

looks like a palace

[Music]

beautiful little shelter here out in the

woods

look at the uh see we got a little

skylight there so it's not

too old to bubble skylight

and looks like it's had some damage over

the years

see a lot of a little bit of rot going

on

and a lot of these a lot of what looks

like claw marks

just taking some abuse from the local

bear population or something

i imagine they probably come in with a

boat though i don't

we didn't see anything else on the mount

map out this way something's like a

full-on resort in there

[Music]

oh crain

you got that oh man you got me good

[Music]

i was just looking up i was just looking

like

like i was like man it probably was

built from all these large pines right

here

and there this clearing was probably

made

and then turned into this build this

beautiful place

that's all right crazy you

[Laughter]

your heart's still going yeah

he got me good he got me good

so creepy looking in there it's all

locked up and boarded up

yeah it does sort of look like something

from a like something from a stephen

king movie

yeah this is like the perfect place to

film a horror movie

yeah isn't it giant fireplace

it's just like they've got that building

like

scary things could come out of any any

one of those windows

yeah the horse back here in the

remoteness

there's a couple canoes in there though

that makes me think that

weird people don't live here because

they have canoes

they have canoes modern canoes not like

this old cedar strip

that's so cool a big old stairway with a

hallway to both sides it looks like a

big old fireplace

wow this is a neat little place wouldn't

this be a nice little uh

cabin to come to for a couple weeks

during the year and

go out there and fish in and have the

whole family out here playing

running around cooking stuff

considering the size of these pines

they really probably didn't have to cut

any more than where that clearing is for

the log cabin

and then just build it that is such a

neat thing

how fun would that be

happy to get out of here i've i've done

what i want to do here yeah

unless you want to try it like no not

unless

no i don't done we've done it yeah all

right so we're changing lodgings in the

morning

it's official we came out here we found

it we saw it we conquered it

we ate as much as they had here and

we're ready to get going

all right we are back get the fire going

and we get our

bare meat and bear fat for dinner

i'm excited about this

chris is already nailed the fires

restart

and this has been sitting out here

simmering away

oh it's too hot to lift

it's all wow look just look at it would

you

look at this yeah look at that

outside it's really really hot

look at that oh that's like a layer of

yellow melted rendered fat

oh my goodness

it's cooked

[Music]

it just dissolves perfect there's like

nothing

piece of meat dissolved it's like yeah

it's just it's like baby food

oh man it's like it's so cooked it just

like melts

on your tongue you know that's amazing

i would like a side of rice with this

please oh and some veggies

that does sound good that would be just

done mm-hmm

noodles i was you know some oh oh some

of those fat wiggly noodles there though

yeah yeah just to soak up all the extra

like the kind that people put in beef

stews and stuff in there mm-hmm

okay that's probably a good amount

that's probably

i'll do it i don't know what's a

spoonful of butter like how many

calories in the spoonful butter does

anybody know

my spoonful that's good man oh the bear

meat true

melt in your mouth like you said

beautiful
