and now day six of seven day wilderness living challenge

[Music]

it's wet it's cold and i don't want to get out of my nice warm hammock

so cozy but we're changing lodgings

so we get going sooner we can get on to

new things hopefully some catfish

rabbits rabbits in a new place there weren't any here

we've gone through all the resources

that are here for the most part and found them fairly thin

so it's more prudent to move on now here we go

[Music]

[Music]

if

[Music]

oh

[Music]

once again the most beautiful part of

the hammock last thing comes down is

your covering if it had been raining during this

whole packing process i would have been safe and secure until i

rolled up the last piece of my gear

yeehaw and i could even take it with me just

loosen covered stuff up in the boat love

this war bonnet hammocking thing

awesome stuff and i would tell you what

i would just be happy to be aware

from sleeping next to this uh blair

witch hole creepy hole thing actually been sticking in my craw

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

on to new places

[Music]

there we go we're out of here try to leave every

campsite i come to better than it was when i arrived

and uh little bits of garbage

[Music]

looks good let's get out of here

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

all right pockets are emptied we're

gonna see if we've lost any weight chris is up first

let's see what you got how'd you do

[Music]

all right 140 even that's not too bad i think it's a pound four

pound eight i think pound four i think

is what i'm down five days that's not too bad two hundred point two

so i am down five pounds that's like a pound a day

i might have already been on a downhill

slide of losing weight already because of the ketogenic diet so

just goes to show you fat isn't fat

eating fat does not make you gain weight

[Music]

[Applause]

when you're determined to go fishing and

your ex-wife's car won't make it up into the bushes

says no parking not no re-landscaping so

you can drive around said fence

through the woods nailed it

right here at our new location

catfishing central on the river looks to be good

beautiful spot just like all of them here in canada

look at that so i figured i could set my hammock up

or i could do it a bit of fishing i

decided fishing was a better bet

so i'm just going out here with a little worm nothing too special

chris says there's some bass in here and

some fall fish fall fish we could use for bait for the catfish and uh

bass we could use for eating

[Music]

all right got my first fish here in canada a uh smallmouth bass and

uh yeehaw see if i can do it again

definitely we're gonna be eating this

guy tonight i am hungry for something besides the huge oh they got one oh another small bass there we go

[Music]

somebody's got fish envy i got two and

he's got no i'm just kidding

[Laughter]

it's actually a gray squirrel did you

hear that call in the woods is

there's another one i got a fighter

there we go three this one's a little small putting them back

all right i better stop and get my

campsite set up we got bigger fish to fry

catfish that's the plan for tonight so

if i get my stuff set up in time

i can be out here at peak moment as

chris was saying they bite

bigger and harder at the beginning and that's

what we're looking for bigger fish bigger food more food

the more you eat the less you lose the

challenge that's the whole point of the

wilderness living challenge is to maine or

attain or gain weight while living off of

wild food looking for a place for my hammock

the beauty of them is they're super

forgiving because all you need is some trees

and unless you're in the desert there's almost almost

always some trees this looks a good spot

first i pick um a main tree two main trees

and then two outer trees to tie my lines

to so i don't have to run around and

put stakes in and things like that

and something else very important always look for dead falls

there's a dead standing one here if

there's a wind storm in the night i

don't have to get out of my bed

you know rain storm windstorm and check

and see if i'm secure then do it now

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

it's just something so manly about

pushing over a tree go on the woods

have a nice walk find a dead tree push

it over be careful though

because sometimes the tops will crack if

they're really rotten and fall back on

your head so you got to be

good at it lifetime practice right here

i don't want to be at this all night

setting this hammock up it's beautiful

love the war bonnet hammock but they

take a little bit longer than tense so

i'm gonna do it the quick way

there we go doing it the fast way all

set up so we can go catfishing

no bites yet no bite this is a little worrying

you got your bell i'm always concerned that there's not a bite

and there should be a bite yep bell's got a bell his uh line fishing pole headed out

[Music]

nice you got another bell for me nope you got to make your own

oh okay i found that one in the tree all

right so i gotta go uh hunt myself down a bell i think

a soda can would do it yup see what i could find

i haven't had a chance to really make

anything when the two of us been hanging out he

never stops going i mean that is the point is to catch

and cook as much stuff as possible not

to lose weight in the challenge

so let's find that bell see if we can't get some catfish

all kinds of chip bags and other garbage

there better be there's got to be one beer can i can make a bell out of oh there we go

[Music]

[Music]

it's always a relief to get the first

fish then you know there's actually fish around

not a big one but we'll see once it gets closer

so uh you got you feel you felt the bite right i felt it nibbling

when you walked away and it swam toward

us so that's why the bell didn't keep going

yeah so it was always there all right

see if we can get here man now it's alive there we go first fish

we're not skunked my friend beautiful fish isn't it

you know the specialty this fish is what picking up detritus

just eating all the garbage on the bottom but they taste

great i love cat catfish is like my new favorite fish it's a

it's pretty close to eating trout love

them when you hold the catfish you hold

it like i'm holding right

underneath uh thumb finger the reason you do that is because

they have very sharp barbs here like

that's hard as a rock here

sharp as a knife both sides and the dorsal fin as well

if you get jabbed with that i've never

been jabba foot so i can't vouch for how

much it hurts but i've been told it feels like a bee sting

or a wasp thing so it's not permanent

it's not going to kill you or anything but

it does hurt so that's uh the how the

fish uses what the fish uses to protect itself against predators

so if you know if the fish tries to grab

it you know it gets all that poison and

obviously doesn't like it so when you

grab it grab underneath like i have it cradle it

and you'll be fine all right all rigged up to get in on the

catfish action basically got at the end

of your line you got trouble

and then you got another one tied on

just a little bit below that

inch and a half two inches piece of yummy beaver meat

trading a few calories for

a bunch more calories once we catch a catfish

put both hooks into your piece of beaver meat

i'm gonna send it out there and see

if i can't catch a catfish

[Music]

just playing with it ah just playing with it i missed him

all right so zach was snoozing and losing bashir now for sure and

bam we got him there's sean oh shoot oh shoot

oh shoot the hook's not hooked properly here we go

nailed it that was so oh no we're good

we had two hooks in there

that scared me though good job there we go two down two down

got him unless i got the bottom

there we go three for chris

you can get him yeehaw yeehaw we get to eat all right all right

let me get the fire going

all right there's our catfish ready to go

gutted chris got it down by the river and

de-headed and we're just gonna put it

over here on the fire on the coals well

we gotta get the coals there first

so we're gonna go and put some of these

the two bass that i caught earlier in the frying pan

this is a cast iron pan to clean a cast iron pan

you don't want to ruin the seasoning you

bring it to a boil and you wipe it out

that's all you gotta do otherwise you ruin the seasoning

there we go boiled it splashed it about

it looks like it's brand new gonna throw some fat in there

to bear fat and then i'll throw the fish in there

and we'll be having fried up bass

on the fish to bring out the wonderful flavors hot fish

[Music]

all right look at that bass right up in

bear fat and i got a couple pieces of

bear fat crispy bear fat i'm gonna have with it

it's gonna be good first fish catch of the

season four wilderness living challenge fry up and bear fat oh

i think that's the key to some variety right some fish finally

going after the big game stuff we need

to get the fats and all that stuff now i have

some fish different texture different flavor

all right coals are just right flames

have died down so we're gonna put the catfish on

boom there you have it right on the hot coals cook it up

[Music]

cook for 10 minutes on hot coals give

her a flip with the old cold steel shovel

let her cook for 10 more oh

ready to be eaten i'm so hungry

skin peels right back protected it while it cooked on the coals oh look at that um that is so good cafe
