1 00:00:03,420 --> 00:00:07,460 Let's say you're driving on the highway and the worst possible thing happened. 2 00:00:15,900 --> 00:00:17,500 Nuclear explosion. 3 00:00:18,580 --> 00:00:19,580 EMP. 4 00:00:20,100 --> 00:00:22,300 Your car doesn't work. You're alone. 5 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,520 You're in the woods. You have no water, no food. 6 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,880 You need to survive long enough to get back to civilization. 7 00:00:29,420 --> 00:00:30,540 What are you going to do? 8 00:00:33,900 --> 00:00:34,859 Hello, Pablo. 9 00:00:34,860 --> 00:00:36,460 You're lost, Pablo. 10 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,340 You're in the forest and you have nothing. You need help. You can't do 11 00:00:39,340 --> 00:00:41,020 alone. What do we do? 12 00:00:41,540 --> 00:00:42,540 What about food? 13 00:00:42,580 --> 00:00:44,680 Get out, 14 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:47,500 Pablo. It's going to be dangerous. 15 00:00:47,860 --> 00:00:48,860 Wake up, Pablo. 16 00:00:49,220 --> 00:00:53,640 Wake up, Pablo. Wake up! 17 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,240 Come with me if you want to live. 18 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,360 This is meant by you. 19 00:01:01,770 --> 00:01:05,390 I'm lucky enough that he emerged from the wood to show me how to survive. 20 00:01:06,010 --> 00:01:08,410 Oh, hi, Mitch. Nice to meet you, Mitch. You too, Pablo. 21 00:01:08,650 --> 00:01:09,650 What am I doing here? 22 00:01:09,770 --> 00:01:12,470 That's a great question. We're going to try to make sure you don't die. 23 00:01:13,810 --> 00:01:16,330 I'm Mitch. I'm a prior U .S. Air Force SEER specialist. 24 00:01:16,730 --> 00:01:22,750 I've spent the last 12 years of my career in the military specializing and 25 00:01:22,750 --> 00:01:26,310 focusing on how to train anybody, how to survive anywhere in the world, 26 00:01:26,330 --> 00:01:27,330 regardless of the situation. 27 00:01:27,870 --> 00:01:30,630 We're going to show you everything that you need to know in order to be able to 28 00:01:30,630 --> 00:01:36,110 survive out in the woods at least for 24 hours and be able to get back to some 29 00:01:36,110 --> 00:01:37,110 form of civilization. 30 00:01:37,470 --> 00:01:40,230 How much time we have here? We'll be here for 24 hours. 31 00:01:40,510 --> 00:01:41,930 24 hours? The entire night. 32 00:01:42,650 --> 00:01:45,050 That's fun. So it will be nice to find a place to sleep. 33 00:01:45,410 --> 00:01:47,750 Yeah, that's going to be part of it. We're going to have to make that. 34 00:01:47,950 --> 00:01:51,530 So we've got to build shelter, source water, start the fire. 35 00:01:51,990 --> 00:01:52,990 What about food? 36 00:01:53,110 --> 00:01:54,110 We'll make it. 37 00:01:54,130 --> 00:01:55,130 We'll make food. 38 00:01:55,350 --> 00:01:56,790 Yes. We'll make food. 39 00:01:57,310 --> 00:01:58,310 Yes. 40 00:01:59,210 --> 00:02:00,610 Well, I'm looking forward to that. 41 00:02:01,370 --> 00:02:03,610 What are you allowing me to have tool -wise? 42 00:02:04,490 --> 00:02:05,490 What do you got on you? 43 00:02:06,330 --> 00:02:08,289 Tumbler and a fixed knife. 44 00:02:10,490 --> 00:02:11,490 It will do. All right. 45 00:02:11,810 --> 00:02:12,810 It'll do. 46 00:02:12,850 --> 00:02:13,850 Home Depot. 47 00:02:14,790 --> 00:02:17,470 We are wildly unprepared for this situation. 48 00:02:18,430 --> 00:02:25,430 One of the worst ideas I've ever done is bringing this useless dog on a shoot 49 00:02:25,430 --> 00:02:26,430 like this. 50 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,520 We're going to start with shelter. So we're going to be building what's called 51 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,640 debris shelter off of an A -frame base. 52 00:02:32,860 --> 00:02:38,220 We'll start off with a large, long ridge pole. That's going to be at least your 53 00:02:38,220 --> 00:02:39,580 height plus a little bit extra. 54 00:02:39,900 --> 00:02:43,780 And then we'll build what we call whale bone on top of that in order to give 55 00:02:43,780 --> 00:02:44,780 it... 56 00:02:44,890 --> 00:02:49,830 Kind of like rafters. General rule of thumb for shelter site locations is 57 00:02:49,830 --> 00:02:52,830 to find someplace that's good and elevated. We want to get above where the 58 00:02:52,830 --> 00:02:54,430 water's going to be sitting and standing. 59 00:02:54,650 --> 00:03:01,470 And ideally, we want a set of live trees that kind of make a V. 60 00:03:01,690 --> 00:03:08,310 These natural Vs are amazing starting points for structures because it gives 61 00:03:08,310 --> 00:03:10,150 something to lodge off of. 62 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:15,860 Check the ground first. Make sure that it's free of any ant hills or holes of 63 00:03:15,860 --> 00:03:17,660 other ground -burning animals. 64 00:03:18,140 --> 00:03:19,820 Oh, look at this thing. 65 00:03:20,140 --> 00:03:23,960 Tick right there on your pants. Look at that. He's going towards my sponge. 66 00:03:27,900 --> 00:03:33,040 The things that are going to be more of a hazard to you than just that tick, 67 00:03:33,180 --> 00:03:34,500 dead branches, dead trees. 68 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,280 How do you recognize those from the healthy trees? Good healthy trees will 69 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:44,860 have all of its bark on it. However, if it's sloughing off like this, this is 70 00:03:44,860 --> 00:03:48,100 dead. So that one's not even attached to the ground anymore. 71 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:49,279 Holy shit. 72 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,420 It would have just blown right over. If I know this is where we're going to be 73 00:03:52,420 --> 00:03:57,280 putting in for the night, I want to hold my arm out at about a 45 degree angle 74 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,560 and look down the arm and rotate. 75 00:04:00,020 --> 00:04:01,240 If I see... 76 00:04:01,810 --> 00:04:05,610 the top of those dead branches above my arm, I'm in its fall path. 77 00:04:07,350 --> 00:04:10,810 I think we go to outside of this guy, but it's far enough. 78 00:04:11,530 --> 00:04:12,530 Right? No? 79 00:04:15,090 --> 00:04:17,010 Okay, now we're good. Now we're good. 80 00:04:17,709 --> 00:04:19,209 We are building a house for me. 81 00:04:19,410 --> 00:04:24,010 We need to find a tree that will support it with a little Y. 82 00:04:24,250 --> 00:04:28,370 If we can push it down, we can break it up, and we can use what we need. Then 83 00:04:28,370 --> 00:04:29,790 we're going to build a structure for it. 84 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,100 So, Smith is breaking trees. 85 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,360 Mitch! Yeah, let me build my house, sir. 86 00:04:38,140 --> 00:04:44,180 I appreciate it. So, shelter is probably something I can build. I do stuff 87 00:04:44,180 --> 00:04:48,740 around the house all the time, build shit. The hardware store is like my 88 00:04:48,740 --> 00:04:50,300 favorite, favorite boutique. 89 00:04:50,660 --> 00:04:52,040 So, shelter? 90 00:04:53,020 --> 00:04:54,020 Let's see. 91 00:04:55,220 --> 00:04:56,220 Hell yeah. 92 00:05:05,830 --> 00:05:06,830 What the f***? 93 00:05:08,130 --> 00:05:09,290 Yep. So. 94 00:05:12,330 --> 00:05:13,330 All right. 95 00:05:13,710 --> 00:05:15,350 Doing a great job. Look at that. 96 00:05:15,910 --> 00:05:17,270 All right. So we have this. 97 00:05:17,510 --> 00:05:21,210 I love that you did it all just using your hands when you have that sweet 98 00:05:21,210 --> 00:05:22,510 knife with a saw on the back of it. 99 00:05:23,630 --> 00:05:26,930 That is a valid point. It's okay. You have tools. You can use tools. 100 00:05:27,370 --> 00:05:28,370 He's doing all right. 101 00:05:28,590 --> 00:05:33,830 He's kind of figuring out where things are and everything and whatnot. So he'll 102 00:05:33,830 --> 00:05:34,830 be fine. 103 00:05:36,310 --> 00:05:40,090 Well, the dead things above him, that could fall directly on top. 104 00:05:40,850 --> 00:05:41,850 That's not great. 105 00:05:42,390 --> 00:05:43,390 Not great. 106 00:05:43,490 --> 00:05:49,130 But if we build it strong enough, actually, no, that one will probably 107 00:05:49,230 --> 00:05:50,510 No, I'm not dying here. 108 00:05:50,730 --> 00:05:53,790 Yeah, no, we're not. We're going to do somewhere else. I'm taking this with me 109 00:05:53,790 --> 00:05:55,670 because it sounds like a good roof. It's a good one. 110 00:05:56,270 --> 00:05:57,270 So where are we going? 111 00:05:57,690 --> 00:05:58,690 This way there. We're right back over here. 112 00:05:58,930 --> 00:06:00,290 That's going to give you some more height. 113 00:06:00,790 --> 00:06:02,230 I think that's a great idea. 114 00:06:02,510 --> 00:06:03,530 Whatever you tell me. 115 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,320 We're starting to collect materials for our frame structure. 116 00:06:07,620 --> 00:06:11,520 Oh, shit. We still have to build the rest of the structure, put the whale 117 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,220 up, put the insulation layer on. 118 00:06:13,540 --> 00:06:14,920 Ow, fucking shit. 119 00:06:15,140 --> 00:06:19,520 Make sure that it's packed enough with enough insulation. And it's already 120 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,160 getting close to noon. And we still don't have water. Guys, you guys be 121 00:06:23,260 --> 00:06:24,500 We still don't have food. Heads up. 122 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:30,560 Still don't have fire. So all things that we still need to do and don't have. 123 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,160 should have been doing this hours ago. 124 00:06:36,620 --> 00:06:40,280 What was the most challenging thing you've ever done to survive? 125 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,320 Well, I can tell you the most terrifying thing I've had to do. I'll take it. 126 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,200 Open ocean survival training. 127 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,300 Yeah, you heard that right. That's a thing. And just for people who don't 128 00:06:52,460 --> 00:06:55,520 you don't drink ocean. 129 00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:01,680 Correct. Salt water will dehydrate you and kill you very, very quickly, 130 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:03,660 especially like ocean water. 131 00:07:04,620 --> 00:07:08,880 All right, so now that we have all the whale bones set and the framework for 132 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:13,860 structure is already there, we need to add in our insulation layer. What we're 133 00:07:13,860 --> 00:07:18,040 going to be using is debris, which it can be literally anything. We have a 134 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,820 of dead leaves and everything else around, so we're going to collect as 135 00:07:21,820 --> 00:07:24,140 that as we can. We're going to pile it on top of this. 136 00:07:24,700 --> 00:07:28,900 Ideally, it should be thick enough to the point from the inside you can't see 137 00:07:28,900 --> 00:07:32,100 sunlight. And that will block the water coming through? 138 00:07:32,340 --> 00:07:33,340 Correct. 139 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,380 It's looking pretty good. It's nice and packed. It's insulated. 140 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,400 There's hardly any patches that we had to really patch up inside of there, so 141 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:48,100 it's looking really solid. You can even just tell just by the sound when you get 142 00:07:48,100 --> 00:07:49,380 in there. It dampens everything. 143 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,780 It means that all the critters and coyotes tonight aren't going to wake him 144 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,540 Overall, I'd say it's about an 8 out of 10. Oh, shit. 145 00:07:56,860 --> 00:07:58,740 This is a solid start. It's a good platform. 146 00:07:58,980 --> 00:08:01,920 It should hold up, keep him nice and warm throughout the night. 147 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,280 So building shelter was probably the easiest part of the day. 148 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:11,140 Knocking over their trees, breaking them, carrying them, no problemo. But 149 00:08:11,140 --> 00:08:15,420 it without any food or water all day long, well, that was not easy. 150 00:08:16,380 --> 00:08:17,520 How's your decision making? 151 00:08:18,900 --> 00:08:20,200 I'm undecisive. 152 00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:22,220 Well, that sounds like you're dehydrated. 153 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:24,880 I'm probably. 154 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,760 You're going to start getting a headache. I already have a headache. 155 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,280 here? Yeah. Uh -huh. That's a dehydration headache. 156 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:31,660 Yep. I have that for an hour. 157 00:08:31,900 --> 00:08:32,900 He needs water. 158 00:08:33,470 --> 00:08:37,130 He needs water. What usually happens is you start getting overworked. 159 00:08:37,390 --> 00:08:40,890 And when you're working too hard and you're not taking care of your needs, 160 00:08:40,970 --> 00:08:44,990 you're low on calories, you're dehydrated, you get into what's called a 161 00:08:44,990 --> 00:08:45,990 fog. What? 162 00:08:46,810 --> 00:08:49,890 You make poor decisions even though you know better. And you don't start 163 00:08:49,890 --> 00:08:53,950 establishing things like you know you should be doing. And it makes more work 164 00:08:53,950 --> 00:08:56,450 for yourself because you're not taking care of it. 165 00:08:56,830 --> 00:08:58,950 We have lost the lav mic. 166 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:04,860 So he's got the headphones on, pinging it like a submarine to track it down. 167 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,000 Found it. 168 00:09:06,820 --> 00:09:08,980 There we go. 169 00:09:12,020 --> 00:09:16,060 Well, we've got to find water first before you can drink it. So the best way 170 00:09:16,060 --> 00:09:18,100 do that is know where water collects. 171 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,560 Go downhill. Gravity will provide. 172 00:09:21,100 --> 00:09:25,180 You'll start seeing more vines like these guys, where they just kind of grow 173 00:09:25,180 --> 00:09:27,880 of the ground more often. You'll see more ground vegetation. 174 00:09:28,260 --> 00:09:31,440 You'll have more moss, like at the base of the trees here. 175 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:33,520 More moss. 176 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,120 Eventually, you'll just see the water itself. 177 00:09:36,740 --> 00:09:37,740 There it is. 178 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,720 And then you'll also start feeling that temperature shift. 179 00:09:40,980 --> 00:09:43,560 The water looks fairly clear. 180 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,640 It does. How do we know if it's okay to drink? 181 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:49,400 You never actually know. 182 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,960 how clean it is without actually doing like chemical tests we don't know if 183 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:58,180 there's like a deer carcass that fell into the creek upstream yeah you 184 00:09:58,180 --> 00:10:02,380 definitely make me want to drink that water for sure yeah well we are and it's 185 00:10:02,380 --> 00:10:07,240 going to happen we're going to filter out as much debris and everything else 186 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:13,580 we possibly can when we're collecting it shirt fair enough if you don't have a t 187 00:10:13,580 --> 00:10:16,680 -shirt you have other problems that is fair enough 188 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:19,800 Hell yeah, dude. 189 00:10:20,020 --> 00:10:21,020 We have some water. 190 00:10:21,860 --> 00:10:23,420 What about brain amoeba bacteria? 191 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:28,220 This does not make your water safe to drink right away. Yeah, yeah. It just 192 00:10:28,220 --> 00:10:32,600 removes the majority of the debris from the water to start. The other thing that 193 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:33,960 we're going to do to it is boil. 194 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,840 And it's one of the oldest ways in order to clean the water is to boil it, which 195 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,060 is going to also kill all the bacteria and anything else that might have been 196 00:10:41,060 --> 00:10:42,580 living inside of it. It will just be dead. 197 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:47,620 We spent about three hours building shelter and half an hour to... 198 00:10:48,130 --> 00:10:52,030 Thankfully, we have a creek next to us. And then we're going to have to make a 199 00:10:52,030 --> 00:10:56,530 fire with bare hands, which we don't know how long that's going to take. 200 00:10:56,770 --> 00:11:00,890 So we're looking at, you're going to have about five to six hours before you 201 00:11:00,890 --> 00:11:01,890 drink some liquid. 202 00:11:03,690 --> 00:11:04,690 Sounds great. 203 00:11:05,310 --> 00:11:08,730 In times like that, you start to appreciate modern society. 204 00:11:09,230 --> 00:11:13,070 Because at this point, I'm hungry, I'm thirsty, and there's nothing I can do 205 00:11:13,070 --> 00:11:14,770 about it until I finish the job. 206 00:11:15,610 --> 00:11:16,790 Home sweet home. 207 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,380 So we're building fire right here. Yep. So what's the method here? 208 00:11:21,680 --> 00:11:26,220 Whenever you're going to build a fire, you need to clear it down to bare 209 00:11:26,220 --> 00:11:29,740 soil. So we definitely don't want to get the photos fire going. 210 00:11:29,980 --> 00:11:33,120 Nope. We're not going to have a really big fire. It's going to be pretty small. 211 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:39,360 And now we want to find dead standing trees that are going to be dry all the 212 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:43,760 through to the core, ready to be pushed over. So we want all the bark to be on 213 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:48,460 it. The bark is what's going to actually prevent water from soaking into the 214 00:11:48,460 --> 00:11:51,700 grains of the wood. So what we're going to do is we're going to open up the 215 00:11:51,700 --> 00:11:55,920 cambium layer of the tree in order to see if it's alive or dead. And if it 216 00:11:55,920 --> 00:12:01,500 strings and bends really easily, it's full of water. 217 00:12:01,700 --> 00:12:02,700 Uh -huh. 218 00:12:03,119 --> 00:12:04,540 Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. 219 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,900 There's a lot of no's before you get a yes. Yeah, I've noticed. 220 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,200 This is definitely good. That looks... Okay. 221 00:12:12,420 --> 00:12:13,840 That's a hard wood, which is good. 222 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:16,460 Perfect. There we go. 223 00:12:18,700 --> 00:12:23,440 What we're also going to do is start breaking this down into smaller pieces. 224 00:12:25,780 --> 00:12:27,020 That is interesting. 225 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,320 Let me try that. Yeah, get in there. 226 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:31,960 Make sure you're always pushing. 227 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:37,980 So much faster. 228 00:12:39,380 --> 00:12:41,800 And you break it down until you can't break it down anymore. 229 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:43,400 That's good. 230 00:12:43,460 --> 00:12:44,460 Harder. 231 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:50,020 Get it started. We need to split this down into all of our different stages. 232 00:12:51,900 --> 00:12:53,700 Kindling and everything else like that. 233 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,060 Yeah, it's definitely hard wood. 234 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,840 They burn hotter and they last a lot longer. 235 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,640 It's more work at the beginning, but it will last for a longer period of time. 236 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,100 So we're looking for the biggest pieces for our kindling. It's going to be about 237 00:13:10,100 --> 00:13:11,920 the size of how thick your thumb is. 238 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:17,520 The next stage is going to be about the size of a number two pencil. 239 00:13:19,680 --> 00:13:21,280 And then pencil lead. 240 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:27,760 To do that, we're going to use what's called the beater stick method. We're 241 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,060 going to take our log, use my knife, and... 242 00:13:35,790 --> 00:13:36,890 In order to split it in half. 243 00:13:38,330 --> 00:13:42,390 I'm trying to just ox it. 244 00:13:46,250 --> 00:13:48,530 I might have broke my hand, actually. 245 00:13:48,970 --> 00:13:49,970 You good? 246 00:13:50,610 --> 00:13:54,670 Getting Dean to cut scrapes, all that sort of stuff, it just happened. 247 00:13:54,930 --> 00:13:55,930 Do we need to cup it more? 248 00:13:56,450 --> 00:13:57,890 Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. All of it. 249 00:14:00,270 --> 00:14:01,590 Push down, not pull. 250 00:14:02,030 --> 00:14:03,030 There you go. 251 00:14:07,390 --> 00:14:09,570 Not all knives are made equal. 252 00:14:10,290 --> 00:14:11,290 This thing broke. 253 00:14:11,390 --> 00:14:13,650 Completely broken. I can't even close it anymore. 254 00:14:14,230 --> 00:14:18,830 Just remember, if you're going to do the beater stick thing, you need a fixed 255 00:14:18,830 --> 00:14:19,830 blade knife. 256 00:14:22,510 --> 00:14:26,030 Boom. So we are in front of my house here in Kentucky. 257 00:14:26,490 --> 00:14:30,170 I haven't eaten anything all day long. And we're going to drink that magic 258 00:14:30,170 --> 00:14:31,990 that we took from the river. 259 00:14:32,670 --> 00:14:33,670 It's kind of exciting. 260 00:14:34,290 --> 00:14:35,390 I will use some water. 261 00:14:36,940 --> 00:14:38,640 And then we're going to eat something. 262 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,380 So we're going to eat something. I don't know what it is. 263 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,440 I'm going to eat it regardless because at this point my stomach is sucking my 264 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:47,440 ass in. 265 00:14:47,780 --> 00:14:50,280 And I'm very hungry. 266 00:14:52,140 --> 00:14:53,140 Teamwork. 267 00:14:53,900 --> 00:14:56,680 The next part is what we call heartwood shavings. 268 00:14:56,940 --> 00:14:59,940 Build a platform that we're going to be building our fire on. 269 00:15:00,350 --> 00:15:03,170 So I'm going to use the flat portion of my blade like this. 270 00:15:03,410 --> 00:15:07,030 Prop this underneath my belt. Prop it onto the platform. 271 00:15:07,410 --> 00:15:08,410 I'm going to press it down. 272 00:15:11,950 --> 00:15:15,390 As we're doing it, we also want to make sure none of this gets on the ground. 273 00:15:15,750 --> 00:15:17,210 Because it's going to get wet. Yep. 274 00:15:17,630 --> 00:15:18,630 It's not easy. 275 00:15:21,170 --> 00:15:22,550 It's not a race, but I'm helping. 276 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:34,140 Mitch knows everything and he can do anything. 277 00:15:34,580 --> 00:15:39,160 I bet you that he can chisel up a car here and do some flint and shit and 278 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:40,160 us away from here. 279 00:15:40,660 --> 00:15:43,320 So the next part is actually lighting it. 280 00:15:43,540 --> 00:15:45,240 Fire needs three things to exist. 281 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:47,140 Air. Yep. 282 00:15:47,780 --> 00:15:48,780 Fire. 283 00:15:51,900 --> 00:15:57,020 Heat. Fuel, oxygen. If you remove any one of those three things, your fire is 284 00:15:57,020 --> 00:16:00,240 going to die. Okay. So that's our fuel. We have our air. 285 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:05,000 Yep. And now we have to apply heat. So many different ways of generating heat, 286 00:16:05,100 --> 00:16:07,720 including a ferrocerium rod and a piece of steel. 287 00:16:10,300 --> 00:16:12,520 And I can send sparks into it. Jeez. 288 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:19,100 I'm definitely getting one of them ferrocerium rods and keeping it in my 289 00:16:19,100 --> 00:16:20,100 thousand percent. 290 00:16:21,700 --> 00:16:22,700 Wow. 291 00:16:22,900 --> 00:16:23,779 It's there. 292 00:16:23,780 --> 00:16:25,420 There it is. It's there. 293 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:30,440 And then from that little flame, we're going to take all those curlicues, put 294 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:31,600 them directly into it. 295 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:38,040 Once those go, then I grab on to my next smallest stage of prep, lay it on top 296 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:43,920 so that it can consume and continue to work its way up. 297 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:45,700 That is unbelievable. 298 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:50,770 That is a lot of prep for it. It is a lot of prep, but it's just... When you 299 00:16:50,770 --> 00:16:57,310 all the hard work in advance, it lights that easy. If you skip steps, you will 300 00:16:57,310 --> 00:16:59,210 fight for hours to get it to light. 301 00:16:59,550 --> 00:17:03,190 I think this is our lesson to understand that shortcuts are not the best thing 302 00:17:03,190 --> 00:17:07,450 always. No. Sometimes you legitimately... You gotta do the job. 303 00:17:07,450 --> 00:17:08,009 the work. 304 00:17:08,010 --> 00:17:10,470 I think men are meant to endure hardship. 305 00:17:10,710 --> 00:17:16,150 I used to hear that as a kid, and I always wondered why men are meant to 306 00:17:16,150 --> 00:17:22,240 struggle. It's because good things worth doing are hard to do. If you want to 307 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:26,619 build something worthwhile, you're going to struggle to get it done. So we built 308 00:17:26,619 --> 00:17:29,080 the fire, and now we're going to boil the water. 309 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,260 What do we need to boil the water? I'm assuming we're not just putting a cup on 310 00:17:32,260 --> 00:17:32,899 top of that. 311 00:17:32,900 --> 00:17:34,680 Well, with mine, we can. 312 00:17:34,940 --> 00:17:38,660 Okay. Mine's a titanium cup, so it transfers the heat really efficiently 313 00:17:38,660 --> 00:17:41,480 directly into the water, and it'll boil it directly. 314 00:17:42,120 --> 00:17:44,860 You brought an insulated thermos. 315 00:17:45,260 --> 00:17:48,770 Yep. which has a vacuum -sealed layer. 316 00:17:49,170 --> 00:17:52,310 What happens to a gas in a vacuum when it's heated up? 317 00:17:52,750 --> 00:17:53,750 It's going to explode. 318 00:17:53,910 --> 00:17:57,630 Yeah. Yep, not great. So we're not going to do that. So in order to boil the 319 00:17:57,630 --> 00:18:01,430 water inside of your cup, we're going to make what's called stone soup. 320 00:18:02,410 --> 00:18:05,710 So we've got to find stones, and you said we're not looking for stones that 321 00:18:05,710 --> 00:18:06,710 near the creek. 322 00:18:06,830 --> 00:18:11,310 Stones, nothing. Correct, because the water in those stones can create small 323 00:18:11,310 --> 00:18:14,850 pores, and if you put them in the fire, they also can... 324 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:19,960 potentially explode you would think it'd be so much easier just to find rocks i 325 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:25,220 know right hey that's a good one we have stones so wash them off so that we 326 00:18:25,220 --> 00:18:31,000 don't have dirt on them mitch water smells like probably in it 327 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,760 you can put the rocks on there right now here you 328 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:39,100 know what 329 00:18:44,300 --> 00:18:47,120 Mitch, I got off the couch. Love it. Look at you. 330 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:50,880 Forest to go. 331 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,120 Oh, it's so good to sit down. 332 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:55,120 The rocks are boiling. 333 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,840 Rocks are getting hot. And they're at the temperature that if we drop them 334 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,120 this tumbler, the water will boil. 335 00:19:02,300 --> 00:19:07,100 Oh, yeah. I heard it. And after that, the water should be drinkable. There's 336 00:19:07,100 --> 00:19:08,160 definitely fiber in it. 337 00:19:08,540 --> 00:19:11,860 Correct. Yeah, put the lid on, and it'll trap all that heat in. You want to keep 338 00:19:11,860 --> 00:19:14,660 it closed because it's going to allow it to boil faster. 339 00:19:15,100 --> 00:19:16,360 Oh, my f***ing God. 340 00:19:18,580 --> 00:19:22,560 What about your cup? That looks like it's a little here and there bubbling. 341 00:19:22,820 --> 00:19:24,080 Yeah, we're getting there. 342 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:28,440 You know, that's a great moment to start on rabbit, to get this thing over with. 343 00:19:28,460 --> 00:19:29,460 The boy hungry. 344 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:35,480 It's been a very long day. We have fire, we have shelter, we have water. The 345 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,040 question is, what are we going to eat? 346 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:41,780 And where is it coming from? So we lost a lot of our daylight building our 347 00:19:41,780 --> 00:19:45,700 shelter and collecting our water. We were really hoping to build some traps 348 00:19:45,700 --> 00:19:49,740 snares, but time is a limited resource and we ran out of a whole bunch of it. 349 00:19:49,740 --> 00:19:56,680 the next best thing is when you see something living, just throw something 350 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:57,680 at it. 351 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,220 So... What we're going to do is we're going to process this guy. We're going 352 00:20:05,220 --> 00:20:10,140 make sure that all of his organs and everything else is good to go. We're 353 00:20:10,140 --> 00:20:14,180 to get the maximum amount of nutrition out of him as we possibly can. But 354 00:20:14,220 --> 00:20:15,420 we have to take the skin off. 355 00:20:16,300 --> 00:20:17,300 Oh, dude. 356 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:21,860 Lord, we thank you for that creature, and we apologize for what we did. You 357 00:20:21,860 --> 00:20:23,940 know, the first animal sacrifice was done by God. 358 00:20:24,380 --> 00:20:25,380 Genesis chapter 3. 359 00:20:25,820 --> 00:20:27,860 In order to cover up our shame... 360 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:32,760 of sin in the Garden of Eden, the Lord went and dispatched an animal and 361 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,840 proper clothing in order to clothe us and hide us of our own shame. 362 00:20:37,120 --> 00:20:43,760 And it is through his grace and his mercy that we learned the penalty 363 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:50,620 of our sin and the cost is death and not necessarily our own, even though it's 364 00:20:50,620 --> 00:20:51,479 what we deserve. 365 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:57,980 So as aggressive and brutal it feels, That the circle of life, the burger 366 00:20:57,980 --> 00:21:00,520 eating, meat coming from somewhere. 367 00:21:00,900 --> 00:21:04,780 All of it comes from somewhere. It doesn't just magically appear on your 368 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,000 This just looks unreal. 369 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:14,120 So part of our calling as men on this planet is to provide for our families. 370 00:21:14,460 --> 00:21:19,300 And to do that, you got two options for food. You got vegetables or you have 371 00:21:19,300 --> 00:21:22,520 meat. And the other part of the meat is you have to get it somehow. And the only 372 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,240 other way of getting it is to kill. 373 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,680 There's no way of getting around it. You don't get meat without killing. 374 00:21:28,020 --> 00:21:31,580 And it needs to be done morally, ethically, and for the right reasons. 375 00:21:31,820 --> 00:21:35,980 If you hold the front legs, I'm going to pull the fur off of the bottom half. 376 00:21:37,300 --> 00:21:38,920 Did you just broke its bone? 377 00:21:39,140 --> 00:21:40,140 Yep. 378 00:21:40,380 --> 00:21:44,660 Well, it's more at the joint. I separated it. So if you did jiu -jitsu, 379 00:21:44,660 --> 00:21:48,800 wrist -locked the shit out of it. Next part is getting through all of the 380 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:53,150 organs. When we're doing so, we need to make sure that the rabbit was healthy 381 00:21:53,150 --> 00:21:55,970 before we commit to eating all the internal organs. 382 00:21:56,250 --> 00:22:00,490 All right, so this is the liver. It's responsible for processing illness and 383 00:22:00,490 --> 00:22:03,510 sickness and everything else like that. Yep, this one is healthy. This one looks 384 00:22:03,510 --> 00:22:08,330 great. And it's big. Which tells me that every one of the other organs on this 385 00:22:08,330 --> 00:22:10,190 animal is good for us to eat. 386 00:22:10,450 --> 00:22:11,890 My eyeballs are also edible. 387 00:22:12,770 --> 00:22:13,770 I'm good. 388 00:22:13,910 --> 00:22:15,890 I'm good. I'm so good, dude. 389 00:22:20,030 --> 00:22:24,610 With the eyeballs, they are packed with so much sodium and electrolytes that 390 00:22:24,610 --> 00:22:29,330 it's better than like a liquid IV or a Pedialyte in order to get your 391 00:22:29,330 --> 00:22:31,290 electrolytes back up and running. 392 00:22:32,370 --> 00:22:34,170 And the best part is you can do it raw. 393 00:22:39,170 --> 00:22:40,170 Holy shit. 394 00:22:41,270 --> 00:22:42,270 Check, please. 395 00:22:42,730 --> 00:22:43,730 It's got two. 396 00:22:44,010 --> 00:22:45,010 Oh, yeah. 397 00:22:45,370 --> 00:22:46,570 Check, please.

At this point, ladies and 400 00:22:52,890 --> 00:22:53,990 gentlemen, I'm vegetarian. 401 00:22:54,230 --> 00:22:56,550 Thank you. There are things I have no problem doing. 402 00:22:56,750 --> 00:23:00,430 I'll crawl through the building on fire. I'll get my face smashed by a 403 00:23:00,430 --> 00:23:01,430 professional boxer. 404 00:23:02,470 --> 00:23:07,270 This is just too far for me. Not for my crew, though. This is the craziest shit 405 00:23:07,270 --> 00:23:08,770 I've ever done, by far. 406 00:23:09,430 --> 00:23:10,409 I'm Alex. 407 00:23:10,410 --> 00:23:11,510 Be a man with me. 408 00:23:13,490 --> 00:23:14,490 Yeah, buddy. 409 00:23:15,539 --> 00:23:16,880 Oh my gosh. 410 00:23:17,300 --> 00:23:19,080 Ross even ate the stomach contains. 411 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,000 Not as bad as I thought it was going to be. No, it's really not that bad. 412 00:23:22,340 --> 00:23:24,620 It's all about the head space. 413 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,680 Now, and that's one of the smaller eyeballs that I've had to do. 414 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:29,260 We've had to do this with goats. 415 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:31,520 You can do it with cows. 416 00:23:32,580 --> 00:23:35,400 Like, uh -huh.

Like, it's quiet in there. 427 00:24:08,900 --> 00:24:10,160 It's quiet, bro. 428 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:13,280 Good shit. 429 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,480 I'm ready to eat some f***ing food. 430 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:18,600 All right, Mitch. 431 00:24:18,860 --> 00:24:19,940 We survived the day. 432 00:24:20,580 --> 00:24:21,580 I am exhausted. 433 00:24:21,820 --> 00:24:26,120 I haven't eaten anything all day since I woke up. It didn't taste so much 434 00:24:26,120 --> 00:24:27,120 better. 435 00:24:28,300 --> 00:24:29,540 There's a little bit. I'll get more. 436 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:33,220 It is definitely interesting. 437 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,280 It's kind of like chicken, but not quite. 438 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,940 Not quite, because the texture is tougher. 439 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,000 It's a reward for the hard work all day. 440 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:46,160 And everything we did today, nothing's like... astronomically complicated about 441 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,300 it. It's just time consuming. 442 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,900 Yeah, this is just stuff that people had figured out for centuries. 443 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:57,580 For me, it's very eye -opening because it shows me that I am capable, but I'm 444 00:24:57,580 --> 00:25:03,320 unprepared. But it is very, very rewarding and satisfying because we got 445 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,440 from nothing to something. 446 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,100 We built a shelter from nothing to something. 447 00:25:09,460 --> 00:25:11,400 This is awesome. We got the water. 448 00:25:12,060 --> 00:25:16,920 cleaned all of that, got that set up. We were able to use it and boil the organs 449 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,040 down and make a nice little soup out of it. Like, it's good. 450 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:22,000 It's good. 451 00:25:22,900 --> 00:25:26,940 It's really good. I believe you. You know, what I'm thinking about it is, I 452 00:25:26,940 --> 00:25:30,800 think, you know, I think every man should do something like that. Should. 453 00:25:31,220 --> 00:25:36,920 There's been multiple times where I've ran into full -blown adults in their 454 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:38,500 30s, even further. 455 00:25:38,990 --> 00:25:41,030 and they've never seen a tree outside of concrete. 456 00:25:41,310 --> 00:25:46,450 That's just so sad, man. And they have no idea. They've only seen burgers 457 00:25:46,450 --> 00:25:50,930 of packaging or over at McDonald's or something else like that. They don't 458 00:25:50,930 --> 00:25:52,210 what real meat looks like. 459 00:25:52,510 --> 00:25:55,870 They don't know where it comes from. They don't know what animal it comes 460 00:25:56,250 --> 00:25:58,450 They don't know how to take care of themselves. 461 00:25:59,090 --> 00:26:03,610 For all the men, get your ass outside. Do something manly. Doesn't mean you 462 00:26:03,610 --> 00:26:07,950 to kill the animal, but if you kill the animal, eat it and do it the right way. 463 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:13,620 Okay, let's eat some fucking chicken rabbit and have some vodka, I guess. 464 00:26:14,100 --> 00:26:15,100 Damn. 465 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:17,960 Ross, we gotta find some potatoes. 466 00:26:18,220 --> 00:26:21,840 I cannot not have potatoes with this beautiful rabbit. 467 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:23,960 Holy shit. 468 00:26:28,780 --> 00:26:31,020 The forest is new.
