bouncing all over the place

like a micro blower something coming

through here it's

i'm worried about that tree in the

camelot i jumped in my hammock and the

tree was like

started to rip up from the ground and

stuff

so i had to put a come along strap on it

i'm picking small streets like this like

all the time i guess i've been pushing

the limit

oh no here it comes again

slight rocking in the heavy wind

[Music]

thunder and lightning out there

it's so loud and there's so much wind

and so much rain

before bed the uh

tree that i had tied up to decided to

crack

and rip out of the ground partially and

it leaned over against another one

oh i guess in the dusk when i set it up

there wasn't needles it was just all

moss and things growing on it

whoops i tied up to a dead tree

but thank goodness i put this on it and

she actually survived the night in this

banner

and all of my other ties for the

covering i'm glad i tied it low instead

of out so i could

hang out that's nice made it so that i

didn't get

anything stay dry stay dry

well yesterday's catfish was really good

mm-hmm yeah nice to have some variety

now we're moving on to fat

to frying from

stews yeah oh

there's not too many people watching

that would eat this and not like it

no i don't think there's anybody no be

like no that's gross

this is like awesome little

crisped up tran trail

those are one of the best mushrooms no

these are the best parts right here

i love fish like this this is my

favorite way to do fish fry it up get

the spine in the middle

the back part of the fish and you just

pick it up

and you just eat the whole thing around

the spine

all crispy and juicy

and that wadobo so good

oh tipping our chanterelle pride to the

outside of it

[Music]

hmm even that tail fin

and just punch it right up because it's

fried up all nice

[Music]

well i'm reaching my limit there's a lot

of food that's a lot of

calories right yeah

one more

[Music]

bite

got him

[Music]

got him

oh man this is this one we're breasting

out for sure

other grouse

or half a gross

so zach was teasing me about my shot on

the grouse

the whole clean clean clean shot with

the slingshot while he switched over to

the gun

turn it around we want to see

some salvageable bits on it i cleaned it

i got it

i gutted it got it and everything with

one shot

well we got a little distracted when we

got set up to go up for pike we saw

grouse

started chasing them the next thing we

know we got three grouse we're back here

then it's three hours later so

i'm gonna have a little snack before we

head out there

all kinds of bits of yumminess still in

here

we got a little spinal cord with some

fried up

catfish

mostly bones have a snack and go get

some pike

i think that does about

polishes this off yeah you get some more

food

[Music]

you're looking at my bum

they get a little nutty after you spend

several days together alone

in the wild

[Music]

fishing pole gun hobo reel

and we're ready to go let's push off

[Music]

well for those of you that are bummed

that i haven't built anything in these

videos

outside of a bell a seat

and i can't even think of anything else

i'm sorry

he doesn't let me sit still long enough

it's catch

and cook so we can maintain

or gain weight while living off of wild

food

so he doesn't give me more than 10

minutes to like all right you done

catching your breath let's go let's go

run run rest

rest run run

now it's not as bad as that more food

more food you think shoot more shoot

more

more food new location

we ate everything that was here let's go

[Music]

so

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

chris just got one we're in the right

area

but the problem is fighting the wind

pretty nasty out here

that's one to one it's not a competition

[Music]

nope

mine's mine's bigger fishing hasn't gone

so well

i got my one fish chris got a tiny one

he put back

and we spooked some ducks over there and

they went to this side so take what you

got when

given to you and try to make the best of

it

[Music]

here we go

one pike so pull yourself together

drift away

[Music]

[Music]

pretty much just using my thumb and

fingers to pop

the meat off of the last bones here

i'm going to slice it up

there we go it's not too bad

there's one grouse breasted out right

there and the pieces of meat that you

get from it

[Music]

foreign

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

all right so you want to clean a dirty

pike right

zach obviously never cleaned one because

he never caught one right right

all right so you got to find the back of

the skull

like that pretty easy right down to the

spine

i should be using a fully knife but we

don't have a pulley knife

so you're going to go back until you

reach

that fin there and then you're going to

come up that's your one fillet

but there's still going to be bones in

the middle so you got to work that out

then

then you're going to follow from about

this point here this is the best fillet

this you can just harvest without having

to worry too much about anything

because there's no bones in it so that

is boneless

you can eat that straight out

let's get to the edge here

no bones in that piece but of course the

knife is so sharp that zach

sharpened for me that i'm going through

the skin so that's one piece of me

that's good

now the tricky part this screws

everybody up so

there's a bone ouch that hurts right

so there's a y bone in there which is

why people hate pike

if you can see it runs right down there

and there right down there so what you

got to do is feel for it

and then you have to go on the opposite

side of it here

[Music]

okay sometimes you mess it up i might

mess this up

we'll see the final product will tell us

of course it never lies

um sometimes it's nice to just actually

use this as the guide so i'll do that

just to be safe it is a small fish small

fish are harder to clean than bigger

fish

but you're trying to make it go as far

as possible

so now we're down at the spa in there

which is what we want

position and we're going to go from here

and i'm just going to

scoop out along the ribs and i'm going

to feel here

no bones because the bones are up in

this section here

that's the y bone section and we want to

make sure

we don't go through the ribcage so we're

going to get the rib cage here

we're gonna come out and scoop out and

scoop so the ribs are in this part here

if we push too hard we're gonna go

through that rib see the ribs there

another

bunch of bones right down there so we're

gonna work our way

all the way back here and

[Music]

down to

the bottom here okay so that's done

that's boneless

you feel it it's boneless it's boneless

if you feel the bone you pull it out

so now we'll just finish that site off

like so and then that's boneless that's

boneless that's boneless is bone okay so

let's go back to this that's the back

part so we want to find

there's bones here and then there's

bones there which is

so darn annoying because you actually

have to take out

a big section of this in order for it to

be boneless which is ridiculous

so we're gonna do that and then we're

gonna find the bones on the other side

which are here

and we're gonna cut

those out so on a bigger fish

you're gonna get a lot more meat from

the back like

this whole section is edible but it's

also full of bones

and because we can't i mean maybe we can

hold back here

you could also just go here and then

scoop

forward here and then this unfortunately

is bait

and you're going to get those couple

pieces here which are good to eat

so i'm gonna continue to get

oh i went too deep again all right

forget that i'll clean that one later

the same thing

down and then we'll scoop it up

going too fast okay

good and then same

with the fillet knife it's a little

easier to do this won't

tend to want to cut through the

skin as much as which is what's

happening now

okay and then i cut the fin off and

that's our that's our garbage

that's for the birds this is

this is our meat and this is our

final half which we'll finish right now

all right there you go compare that to

the size of my dirty hand

seven days of dirt grime barely

a not even a baseball sized chunk of

meat off of

this fish

[Music]

there's all of our meat for tonight

all right so column a goes in

column b

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

hmm

[Music]

it's fish pike's good it's fine there's

nothing wrong with it people just

complain about the bones the taste of

pike is

100 fine there's nothing wrong with pike

yeah you wouldn't know the difference

between walleye and pike i don't know do

you ever have walleye

no no no

it's like a choice fish but if you put

walleye and pike up against one another

you have no idea it's like if it's not

trout or salmon then it's just not

it's it's just fish yeah but we are

eating grouse which is like

you know the upper tier of all game game

birds right

it's the trout of the woods the trout of

the woods the try to the bird family

anyway

mm-hmm yeah

guys if you're just joining this this

like you have no idea how we got here

this whole place go back and watch the

playlist watch that playlist it'll be

all down there below

we're trying to match our weight out

where then seven days ago we're going to

weigh out just now

and i'm going to find out if we um

thrived

i think we survived i don't feel there i

think we thrive

did we match our weight or

lose weight or gain weight i don't i

we weighed halfway through i wasn't

doing so well

despite the fact eating yeah copious

you know 50 to 60 percent blobs of fat

like weight wise

per you know each you know meal you guys

are going to come up with your own

theories i'm sure

put them down at the bottom if you uh

you don't want to discuss those things

i'm feeling good i feel i feel like i

can continue this pace forever i feel

like i can continue eating fats

and proteins forever i don't feel

short on energy my digestion is 100 good

i'm not getting

you know this isn't table talk but i'm

not getting the runs it's i'm eating

blobs of fat just like you are

mm-hmm and i'm the type of person that i

can't eat bacon

like in the mornings i cannot eat bacon

it goes right through me

really yeah so now you have to go home

and try that and see if it goes through

your nose

it would be fine right yeah now now

it'll be fine i think so something's

happened to my body it's switched over

and now it's just working

so i just got something to do with

ketogenic you know it's got something to

do with dumping

the processed uh carbohydrates and i've

been eating apples and apples has always

been like one of those things that if i

eat

bacon and apples for breakfast i'm like

through

yeah it's the weirdest thing but

digestion is

what's even weirder is that you chose to

eat yeah right the fat and apples

that's all we have yeah we had we took

from the environment what was available

at the time

this is in the fall yeah bears the

hunting seasons are all in

we could have gone for deer in a couple

weeks that's opening up

that's really lean though yeah it's a

lean bear

bear is crucial for this year's

wilderness living challenge so

if you want to survive in the y go find

some go find copious amounts of fat

good luck with that right yeah right

otherwise

what else is there every time bear bore

beef i mean you find a wild cow moo

somewhere

okay no this is a big one all right i

gotta put this on it's heavy

oh yeah we're gonna dig dig down here

i'm gonna finish eating this we're gonna

weigh in

we gotta eat swing away in after eating

all that we're gonna weigh in after this

this has been seven days of the

wilderness living challenge eating wild

if you're just

watching this in the first episode go

back watch it from the beginning the

playlist is below this is the wooded

beardsman i'm zachary fowler

if you didn't know that already then you

haven't been paying attention

naked and maroon yeah okay so we got

down

zach for 205. 205.6

is your way in 205.6 everybody remember

that 205

201.2

201.2 so about five pounds so you've

leveled you've plateaued out because we

weighed you

two days ago and you were down about

five pounds so you're down about five

pounds

now so i started i leveled out you

leveled out yeah you leveled out on this

diet

it's the same 201.2 201.2 so that's

pretty good so

so so to explain you want to explain why

you think you

lost the five pounds people will be

interested on your theory and then they

can put down their own

i mean i've been in the ketogenic diet

and stuff and so

i think i was on a downhill slide of

losing weight and uh

and then you know we came out here and

we did all this

and we so we kept busy but we kept

eating and at first it was hard to get

the food into us because even on the

ketogenic diet i still have vegetables

and all these other things

so i think after the system shocked

started balancing out with this diet

and putting enough calories back to try

to replace that five pounds

and i managed to plus a

ton of exercise a ton of exercise yeah

and you're continuing your keto

slide which is what you were trying to

do beforehand you were trying to lose

weight

yeah so we stayed on the same diet and

you lost a little bit more weight but it

seems like

only the first f five days now you've

plateaued up which is kind of

interesting right

yeah and you feel like you have energy

oh i'm full of energy full of energy

yeah you feel like you can maintain this

diet forever oh yeah yeah and this is

what we've been doing is a diet that has

leaves you with the strength and energy

to do what you need to do to get around

to new locations keep busy

and be able to harvest more food

hence the we don't want to eat the same

thing the whole time so we kept moving

around kept getting more game

yeah and so compared to him i lost

right but uh i mean i think in the long

run

you know if we were to not count the

first transition days

we probably both of us would what we've

been eating

we could maintain our body weight stay

active full of energy

continue to harvest food and be healthy

what do you think

would happen if you didn't eat any food

maintaining this activity level

over seven days how many how many pounds

you think you would have lost

like we lost five doing this how many do

you think we could do nothing

doing this doing all the things that we

did oh if we hadn't eaten food

yeah oh we would i would have been down

by 10 pounds or something like that

we were so busy next time on wilderness

living challenge season four

we didn't want to end the adventure so i

got two more episodes for you

it's probably only about two and a half

three feet but the bottom never ends

all right bring it up now bring your

head over onto the band a little bit

lightly kind of looking down

the line of the band yeah

oh that was so close

that's how you shoot a cop
