1
00:00:18,610 --> 00:00:20,302
Male narrator:
For the first time,

2
00:00:20,371 --> 00:00:23,822
ten participants will fight
to survive the Arctic

3
00:00:23,891 --> 00:00:27,964
for longer than anyone
in "Alone" history.

4
00:00:28,034 --> 00:00:31,554
A grueling 100 days.

5
00:00:31,623 --> 00:00:33,970
- This is the ultimate
challenge.

6
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,112
- A hundred days in the Arctic
is no joke.

7
00:00:37,181 --> 00:00:38,872
Narrator: If they can endure,

8
00:00:38,941 --> 00:00:41,806
they'll win
the biggest prize ever:

9
00:00:41,875 --> 00:00:44,567
$1 million.

10
00:00:46,155 --> 00:00:48,192
- Whoa!
- Holy [bleep]!

11
00:00:48,261 --> 00:00:49,676
- You can't tap out

12
00:00:49,745 --> 00:00:51,850
when there's a million bucks
on the line,

13
00:00:51,919 --> 00:00:54,025
- Oh, my gosh.

14
00:00:54,094 --> 00:00:57,063
- How hard can you work
for $10,000 a day?

15
00:00:57,132 --> 00:00:58,478
- It looks like frostbite.

16
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:01,791
- Holy [bleep]!

17
00:01:01,860 --> 00:01:06,072
Narrator: This is "Alone:
Million Dollar Challenge."

18
00:01:06,141 --> 00:01:08,039
- They're just surrounding
my shelter.

19
00:01:40,071 --> 00:01:42,901
- A million dollars.
"Alone" has never done this.

20
00:01:42,970 --> 00:01:45,490
- This is high stakes,
my man.

21
00:01:45,559 --> 00:01:47,630
Good-bye!

22
00:01:47,699 --> 00:01:49,322
- If you make it to 100 days,
you're rich.

23
00:01:49,391 --> 00:01:51,186
That's a huge factor.

24
00:01:51,255 --> 00:01:52,877
Whoo!
Now what?

25
00:01:54,913 --> 00:01:55,949
- This is the Arctic.

26
00:01:56,018 --> 00:01:57,433
That means that these

27
00:01:57,502 --> 00:02:00,229
are gonna be harsh,
harsh conditions.

28
00:02:00,298 --> 00:02:01,886
It can reach down
to negative 30,

29
00:02:01,955 --> 00:02:03,508
negative 40 degrees.

30
00:02:03,577 --> 00:02:06,684
Whoa!

31
00:02:08,548 --> 00:02:10,066
- Nobody's made it 100 days

32
00:02:10,136 --> 00:02:11,965
in places that
weren't the Arctic.

33
00:02:12,034 --> 00:02:13,725
An environment that's
gonna get that cold,

34
00:02:13,794 --> 00:02:14,968
I know it'll be harder
and harder

35
00:02:15,037 --> 00:02:16,521
to push through this.

36
00:02:18,592 --> 00:02:20,525
- That's it.

37
00:02:20,594 --> 00:02:22,527
And I'm alone.

38
00:02:24,529 --> 00:02:26,462
- Black bears, moose,
wolverines,

39
00:02:26,531 --> 00:02:28,050
They're dangerous creatures.

40
00:02:28,119 --> 00:02:30,915
Running into one of those
is gonna be a reality check.

41
00:02:30,984 --> 00:02:34,401
That's it.
They're flying away.

42
00:02:34,470 --> 00:02:37,266
- Oh, my God.
This is awesome.

43
00:02:37,335 --> 00:02:41,512
You can get hurt so fast.
And one injury, that's it.

44
00:02:41,581 --> 00:02:43,445
See you!

45
00:02:45,412 --> 00:02:47,483
- No food, extremely
cold conditions.

46
00:02:47,552 --> 00:02:50,383
I'm expecting my worst
nightmare.

47
00:02:50,452 --> 00:02:53,386
- This is the Olympics
of the survival community.

48
00:02:55,181 --> 00:02:58,943
- Last chance
to change my mind.

49
00:03:07,123 --> 00:03:10,334
And now, I'm alone.

50
00:03:11,852 --> 00:03:14,061
Alone, alone.

51
00:03:14,130 --> 00:03:18,618
<i>1 mean, anybody out there
ever has any doubts</i>

52
00:03:18,687 --> 00:03:23,036
about this process,
it's just me and this camera.

53
00:03:25,694 --> 00:03:27,523
There's no green room.

54
00:03:29,145 --> 00:03:31,182
There's no donuts.

55
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:38,189
Whatever's waiting for me
in those woods.

56
00:03:41,882 --> 00:03:46,646
<i>Al right, 1 have 10 track
down the camera equipment.</i>

57
00:03:48,406 --> 00:03:52,065
Oh, there it is.

58
00:03:52,134 --> 00:03:55,102
<i>Al right, 1 got to
lug this thing around.</i>

59
00:03:55,171 --> 00:03:58,692
Whoa, look at that.

60
00:03:58,761 --> 00:04:01,971
Looks like where a bear's
been trying to get in this.

61
00:04:07,356 --> 00:04:09,151
Oh, man.

62
00:04:09,220 --> 00:04:12,085
They put me over here
with Smokey the Bear.

63
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,953
That's got some nice
teeth marks in it.

64
00:04:21,543 --> 00:04:23,579
All right, Mr. Bear.

65
00:04:23,648 --> 00:04:26,686
I'm gonna move myself
to a different spot,

66
00:04:26,755 --> 00:04:28,722
<i>because as much as 1 want to,</i>

67
00:04:28,791 --> 00:04:31,553
I'm not ready
to take on a bear yet.

68
00:04:31,622 --> 00:04:35,211
<i>Already and 1 just got here.</i>

69
00:04:35,281 --> 00:04:37,041
Fantastic.

70
00:04:37,110 --> 00:04:39,388
What's up, guys,
this is "Sean With the Wild."

71
00:04:39,457 --> 00:04:41,183
I don't know about y'all,
but I'm getting pretty tired

72
00:04:41,252 --> 00:04:42,667
of eating grass.

73
00:04:42,736 --> 00:04:46,568
<i>1 do bushceraft videos
and sell my stuff online.</i>

74
00:04:46,637 --> 00:04:48,639
I am an "Alone" show superfan.

75
00:04:50,399 --> 00:04:51,952
I'm a student of the show.

76
00:04:52,021 --> 00:04:54,886
I've watched every season,
every episode multiple times.

77
00:04:54,955 --> 00:04:56,405
And over the last few years,

78
00:04:56,474 --> 00:04:59,443
I've been tailor making
myself to win this show.

79
00:04:59,512 --> 00:05:02,722
This would have to be much
more insulated for the Arctic,

80
00:05:02,791 --> 00:05:06,726
but it's lasted about
a year and a half.

81
00:05:06,795 --> 00:05:10,454
<i>1 think my biggest strength
is gonna be in bushcraft.</i>

82
00:05:10,523 --> 00:05:12,283
Having those
creature comforts,

83
00:05:12,352 --> 00:05:14,112
you're gonna stay
a whole lot longer.

84
00:05:14,181 --> 00:05:16,045
I do a lot of hunting out here

85
00:05:16,114 --> 00:05:18,220
and always conscious
of where game trails are.

86
00:05:18,289 --> 00:05:21,361
I like to design my own traps.

87
00:05:21,430 --> 00:05:23,708
Whoo!

88
00:05:23,777 --> 00:05:26,539
A hundred days
almost seems impossible,

89
00:05:26,608 --> 00:05:28,506
but, you know, I'm doing this
because it'll be

90
00:05:28,575 --> 00:05:31,233
so much validation
in my skill set.

91
00:05:31,302 --> 00:05:33,477
<i>1 live with my wife
and my youngest daughter.</i>

92
00:05:33,546 --> 00:05:34,788
I'm gonna miss them,

93
00:05:34,857 --> 00:05:36,169
but that's part of the game,
you know?

94
00:05:36,238 --> 00:05:37,964
That's why it's
called "Alone.”

95
00:05:38,033 --> 00:05:40,000
$1 million is a lot
of motivation.

96
00:05:40,069 --> 00:05:42,624
<i>And 1 know that T'm gonna
get what 1 want out of it,</i>

97
00:05:42,693 --> 00:05:44,142
and I'll make it to the end.

98
00:05:44,211 --> 00:05:45,351
- We love you.

99
00:05:45,420 --> 00:05:47,076
- I'll do what I got to do.

100
00:05:48,837 --> 00:05:50,148
Okay, the first thing

101
00:05:50,217 --> 00:05:53,082
I'm gonna wanna do
is some scouting.

102
00:05:54,567 --> 00:05:57,190
I'm gonna go ahead
and get this bow strung up.

103
00:05:57,259 --> 00:05:59,606
With the bear
running around here,

104
00:05:59,675 --> 00:06:01,781
kinda even the playing field
a little bit

105
00:06:01,850 --> 00:06:05,474
if he pops up on me.

106
00:06:05,543 --> 00:06:07,407
Let's have a little
look around.

107
00:06:08,857 --> 00:06:10,583
This experience,
to me,

108
00:06:10,652 --> 00:06:13,482
is the holy grail,
if you will.

109
00:06:13,551 --> 00:06:15,967
From watching the seasons
past,

110
00:06:16,036 --> 00:06:17,521
it's more competition
with yourself

111
00:06:17,590 --> 00:06:20,213
than it is
with the other contestants.

112
00:06:20,282 --> 00:06:23,630
But going 100 days
is gonna be the hardest.

113
00:06:23,699 --> 00:06:25,701
When the snow
really sets in,

114
00:06:25,770 --> 00:06:27,738
the game's
a little more sparse,

115
00:06:27,807 --> 00:06:29,325
morale's gonna go down,

116
00:06:29,395 --> 00:06:31,914
and that's when you find out
how gritty you really are.

117
00:06:35,953 --> 00:06:38,473
I love it out here.
I love it.

118
00:06:45,549 --> 00:06:48,344
Crap.
What is that?

119
00:07:10,159 --> 00:07:11,954
Boom.

120
00:07:12,023 --> 00:07:16,096
Just got a porcupine.

121
00:07:16,165 --> 00:07:18,823
Look at that.

122
00:07:18,892 --> 00:07:21,239
I'm sure that's got
some fat on him,

123
00:07:21,308 --> 00:07:23,587
Oh, yeah, boy.

124
00:07:26,590 --> 00:07:30,697
Everything pumping.
Whoo!

125
00:07:30,766 --> 00:07:33,251
My goal is 100 days.

126
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:34,908
<i>11 can keep my weight up,</i>

127
00:07:34,977 --> 00:07:37,808
I have no doubt that I can
make it that long.

128
00:07:39,465 --> 00:07:41,501
Mm, he got some fat in there.

129
00:07:41,570 --> 00:07:43,054
But for this show,

130
00:07:43,123 --> 00:07:45,919
you got to kinda manage
expectations versus reality.

131
00:07:45,988 --> 00:07:47,783
<i>1 have expectations,</i>

132
00:07:47,852 --> 00:07:50,096
but what the reality's
actually gonna bring,

133
00:07:50,165 --> 00:07:51,269
you don't ever know.

134
00:07:51,338 --> 00:07:52,650
Mm-hmm.

135
00:07:54,169 --> 00:07:56,033
That's why you wear the gloves.

136
00:07:57,828 --> 00:08:00,037
You know, everybody has a plan
until they get punched

137
00:08:00,106 --> 00:08:03,385
in the face,
but I'm doing good.

138
00:08:03,454 --> 00:08:06,664
Gotta pay attention to
the land and the animals.

139
00:08:06,733 --> 00:08:11,980
One porcupine barbeque
coming up.

140
00:08:12,049 --> 00:08:13,878
Woot-woot!
Yeah, yeah!

141
00:08:32,621 --> 00:08:35,797
- Folding a tarp
by yourself 101.

142
00:08:35,866 --> 00:08:38,144
The wind is your friend.

143
00:08:39,490 --> 00:08:43,598
Lay the tarp down.
Even out the other side.

144
00:08:46,255 --> 00:08:50,812
One fold.
Is that floss?

145
00:08:54,919 --> 00:08:57,957
Sure looks like
some dental floss.

146
00:09:03,376 --> 00:09:06,448
Hmm.
No, little degraded.

147
00:09:13,075 --> 00:09:16,354
Hmm, so quiet.
I love the quiet.

148
00:09:18,736 --> 00:09:20,289
Here, Bee,
do you want this?

149
00:09:20,358 --> 00:09:23,154
Come here.
Take it.

150
00:09:23,223 --> 00:09:25,605
<i>1 am a biologist for
the National Parks Service.</i>

151
00:09:28,712 --> 00:09:32,060
I grew up in a rural area
and I've always been outdoors.

152
00:09:32,129 --> 00:09:33,371
I love building.

153
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,235
I love coming up
with novel solutions

154
00:09:35,304 --> 00:09:37,444
to technical problems,

155
00:09:37,513 --> 00:09:39,654
like using unfamiliar
materials

156
00:09:39,723 --> 00:09:42,518
to build a structure,
and I started finding myself

157
00:09:42,588 --> 00:09:46,350
wanting to do more and more
extreme things in wild places.

158
00:09:47,869 --> 00:09:50,078
I feel like I've learned
a lot of lessons by myself

159
00:09:50,147 --> 00:09:51,562
in the wilderness.

160
00:09:51,631 --> 00:09:54,220
<i>1 definitely can cope
through hardship.</i>

161
00:09:56,912 --> 00:09:58,707
Working for the parks,

162
00:09:58,776 --> 00:10:00,744
I've developed a lot
of plant ID skills.

163
00:10:00,813 --> 00:10:03,850
My strengths lie in
reading the landscape

164
00:10:03,919 --> 00:10:05,472
and understanding
relationships

165
00:10:05,541 --> 00:10:06,888
and the ecosystem.

166
00:10:08,475 --> 00:10:11,513
$1 million is a life-changing
quantity of money.

167
00:10:11,582 --> 00:10:13,549
I think it would be hard
to subject yourself

168
00:10:13,619 --> 00:10:15,482
to this much
potential hardship

169
00:10:15,551 --> 00:10:17,657
without the idea
of a reward at the end.

170
00:10:17,726 --> 00:10:19,866
<i>But ultimately,
what 1 hope 10 gain</i>

171
00:10:19,935 --> 00:10:21,696
isn't really something
tangible.

172
00:10:21,765 --> 00:10:25,320
It's about the experience and
learning from that experience.

173
00:10:28,703 --> 00:10:31,257
Let's do a little walking.

174
00:10:31,326 --> 00:10:34,225
<i>1 wanna figure this place out.</i>

175
00:10:41,785 --> 00:10:43,959
This will definitely be
the most difficult

176
00:10:44,028 --> 00:10:47,722
<i>wilderness challenge
1 have ever undertaken.</i>

177
00:10:53,417 --> 00:10:56,282
I think this season is going
to be much more difficult

178
00:10:56,351 --> 00:10:59,216
psychologically
because in past seasons,

179
00:10:59,285 --> 00:11:01,805
you knew that
when it was your time

180
00:11:01,874 --> 00:11:03,599
and you were
the last person

181
00:11:03,669 --> 00:11:06,464
that someone would
come get you and tell you.

182
00:11:06,533 --> 00:11:09,605
I feel like now,
you don't know if at day 20

183
00:11:09,675 --> 00:11:12,470
you're the last person
standing or if at day 99

184
00:11:12,539 --> 00:11:14,749
you're the last person
standing.

185
00:11:14,818 --> 00:11:16,267
But the goal
of the competition

186
00:11:16,336 --> 00:11:19,995
is to make to 100 days,
outlast all others.

187
00:11:26,657 --> 00:11:29,902
<i>Squirrel friend,
1 hear you.</i>

188
00:11:31,144 --> 00:11:33,112
<i>1 see you.</i>

189
00:11:34,561 --> 00:11:36,805
<i>Worth taking a shot, 1 think.</i>

190
00:11:36,874 --> 00:11:38,634
I'm not a hunter,
so I'm the only person

191
00:11:38,704 --> 00:11:40,222
not coming out here
with a bow.

192
00:11:40,291 --> 00:11:44,295
<i>But 1 have 10 have protein,
so 1 need to adapt.</i>

193
00:11:45,607 --> 00:11:47,782
Ooh!
Little high.

194
00:11:47,851 --> 00:11:50,025
Is he gonna give me
another shot?

195
00:11:51,786 --> 00:11:53,926
Ooh, he didn't like that.

196
00:11:55,962 --> 00:11:58,102
Ooh.

197
00:12:00,415 --> 00:12:04,315
<i>Oh, 1 got him.</i>

198
00:12:04,384 --> 00:12:07,733
Got a squirrel.
Hoo!

199
00:12:10,045 --> 00:12:13,428
I knew Little League Baseball
was good for something.

200
00:12:30,100 --> 00:12:32,585
- Time to heat up my porcupine.

201
00:12:32,654 --> 00:12:36,244
We just got to
get a fire started.

202
00:12:47,324 --> 00:12:49,464
Crap.

203
00:12:51,224 --> 00:12:53,468
Everything is wet.

204
00:12:53,537 --> 00:12:56,747
Out here, the moss on
the ground holds moisture in.

205
00:12:56,816 --> 00:12:58,335
So anything you pick up
off the ground,

206
00:12:58,404 --> 00:12:59,681
you might as well forget it.

207
00:12:59,750 --> 00:13:01,890
It almost seems impossible
to start a fire,

208
00:13:01,959 --> 00:13:03,547
even with a ferro rod.

209
00:13:03,616 --> 00:13:06,964
And you cannot survive
in the Arctic without fire.

210
00:13:07,033 --> 00:13:09,380
Are you serious?

211
00:13:09,449 --> 00:13:11,279
<i>1 need a bigger ball of fluff.</i>

212
00:13:18,251 --> 00:13:21,427
Al right.

213
00:13:21,496 --> 00:13:23,429
I decided to cut off
the leg quarters

214
00:13:23,498 --> 00:13:25,431
and cook them in a pot.

215
00:13:25,500 --> 00:13:28,296
The rest will just cook
slowly overnight.

216
00:13:28,365 --> 00:13:30,677
Should pull it apart nice
and easy in the morning,

217
00:13:30,746 --> 00:13:32,162
be good breakfast.

218
00:13:32,231 --> 00:13:34,095
Anyway, we're
cooking some meat!

219
00:13:39,031 --> 00:13:42,517
Mmm.
Oh, that fat is so good.

220
00:13:44,657 --> 00:13:47,384
You can't beat that.

221
00:13:47,453 --> 00:13:49,662
Oh, yes.
Thank you, Mr. Porcupine.

222
00:13:51,422 --> 00:13:54,080
<i>Mmm.
Mmm-mmm-mmm.</i>

223
00:13:54,149 --> 00:13:56,255
Mmm.
Mmm.

224
00:13:56,324 --> 00:14:00,259
All right, take my pot
down to the shoreline.

225
00:14:00,328 --> 00:14:03,124
'Cause if there's one
good way to get a visitor,

226
00:14:03,193 --> 00:14:05,712
it's to have something
in your sleeping quarters

227
00:14:05,781 --> 00:14:07,853
that they want.

228
00:14:31,186 --> 00:14:35,294
It's just getting dark,
and I just fell asleep,

229
00:14:35,363 --> 00:14:38,953
<i>and 1 was woken
by a danging sound,</i>

230
00:14:39,022 --> 00:14:42,680
which I know it was my
cooking pots, so I'm kinda--

231
00:14:42,749 --> 00:14:43,992
kinda, like, freaking out
a little bit.

232
00:14:44,061 --> 00:14:47,133
<i>1 think the bears have
probably found me again.</i>

233
00:14:50,171 --> 00:14:52,069
<i>1 don't know of anything else
that coulda knocked that</i>

234
00:14:52,138 --> 00:14:53,381
cooking pot around like that.

235
00:14:53,450 --> 00:14:55,762
It's pretty heavy cast iron.

236
00:14:55,831 --> 00:14:58,869
Either a bear or wolverine.

237
00:15:01,527 --> 00:15:03,770
I'm trying to slip up
and get my bow

238
00:15:03,839 --> 00:15:07,533
<i>and get down there and see--
see if 1 can see something.</i>

239
00:15:16,783 --> 00:15:19,441
I'm trying to move
pretty quick here.

240
00:15:19,510 --> 00:15:22,513
<i>See if 1 can see anything.</i>

241
00:15:24,032 --> 00:15:26,414
What is that?

242
00:15:26,483 --> 00:15:29,348
Something knows I'm here.

243
00:15:34,698 --> 00:15:37,356
I'm not the only one out here.

244
00:15:37,425 --> 00:15:41,187
I'm definitely not
the only one hungry.

245
00:15:41,256 --> 00:15:44,915
[bleep]!

246
00:15:44,984 --> 00:15:47,642
Aw, crap.

247
00:15:54,683 --> 00:15:56,099
Aw, dang it.

248
00:15:57,928 --> 00:16:01,242
Hmm, yeah, there's definitely
something been in my pot.

249
00:16:04,038 --> 00:16:07,696
It's definitely unnerving.
Something knows I'm here.

250
00:16:12,805 --> 00:16:15,394
All right.
Maybe I run him off.

251
00:16:17,603 --> 00:16:19,985
Everything out here
wants to take your food.

252
00:16:20,054 --> 00:16:21,814
Everything.

253
00:16:37,105 --> 00:16:40,384
I don't imagine
I'll get any sleep, listening.

254
00:17:22,737 --> 00:17:25,705
- Seven shares.
Right on.

255
00:17:25,774 --> 00:17:29,192
Are you ready for this?

256
00:17:36,613 --> 00:17:41,514
Oh, there's some wicked
bundles of spruce sap.

257
00:17:41,583 --> 00:17:43,275
I'm just gonna chew some,

258
00:17:43,344 --> 00:17:47,451
'cause this actually looks
like, um, pre-chewed.

259
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,385
<i>1 may regret this,
but I'm gonna do it.</i>

260
00:17:58,704 --> 00:18:01,983
Did think that was cleaner.

261
00:18:05,573 --> 00:18:07,851
Worst idea yet.

262
00:18:15,686 --> 00:18:17,619
See if my snares produced.

263
00:18:17,688 --> 00:18:22,037
It would be pretty wonderful
to have a rabbit.

264
00:18:22,107 --> 00:18:25,800
My main priority is to provide
myself with enough food.

265
00:18:25,869 --> 00:18:29,252
If I'm not actively hunting
or fishing,

266
00:18:29,321 --> 00:18:32,117
<i>1 want to be passively
hunting or fishing.</i>

267
00:18:32,186 --> 00:18:36,983
So my goal is to set
seven snares a day.

268
00:18:37,052 --> 00:18:41,056
Making to 100 days is going
to be extremely hard.

269
00:18:41,126 --> 00:18:44,439
I think psychologically
it's nice to have

270
00:18:44,508 --> 00:18:48,823
a definite end date, but that
doesn't make it any easier

271
00:18:48,892 --> 00:18:51,757
<i>to physically get there,
but 1 know how to put my head</i>

272
00:18:51,826 --> 00:18:55,312
down and just get things done
when things are tough.

273
00:18:56,624 --> 00:18:58,626
We've got snow again.

274
00:18:58,695 --> 00:19:02,008
My profession is a wilderness
snowshoe guide.

275
00:19:02,077 --> 00:19:03,527
Day 15.

276
00:19:03,596 --> 00:19:06,910
<i>My husband and 1 do remote
wilderness adventures</i>

277
00:19:06,979 --> 00:19:11,190
through minus-40 degree
weather, snowstorms, slush.

278
00:19:11,259 --> 00:19:15,953
Everyone's ready for a
knock-'em-out, easy day, 10K.

279
00:19:16,022 --> 00:19:20,303
<i>1 have the ability to overcome
harsh environments.</i>

280
00:19:20,372 --> 00:19:22,063
I'm still making my gill net.

281
00:19:22,132 --> 00:19:24,341
Knowing what to expect
in the Arctic,

282
00:19:24,410 --> 00:19:26,688
that's going to be
a huge advantage.

283
00:19:26,757 --> 00:19:29,243
The only thing
that would make me tap

284
00:19:29,312 --> 00:19:31,624
is an injury
or starvation.

285
00:19:33,316 --> 00:19:36,284
My husband Dave, he and 1,
we do everything together.

286
00:19:36,353 --> 00:19:40,357
We are best friends,
business partners.

287
00:19:40,426 --> 00:19:44,258
<i>$1 million is more
than 1 could even imagine.</i>

288
00:19:44,327 --> 00:19:47,675
Having that money means
that we can take more time

289
00:19:47,744 --> 00:19:51,023
to live off the land
and have the simple life.

290
00:19:51,092 --> 00:19:52,714
- We got this.

291
00:19:52,783 --> 00:19:56,649
<i>- 1 want to show people
how resilient women can be.</i>

292
00:19:58,237 --> 00:20:00,619
This is an opportunity
for me to prove to myself

293
00:20:00,688 --> 00:20:03,725
<i>that 1 can do it without Dave.</i>

294
00:20:03,794 --> 00:20:06,556
<i>1 have full confidence
that 1 can make it until</i>

295
00:20:06,625 --> 00:20:10,801
they come and get me
on day 100 with $1 million.

296
00:20:19,431 --> 00:20:22,951
Hmm, that's my snare.

297
00:20:23,020 --> 00:20:26,610
My first rabbit.
Sweet.

298
00:20:49,323 --> 00:20:53,258
Such a small guy.
Noose was too weak.

299
00:20:54,776 --> 00:20:56,675
This is awful.

300
00:21:11,621 --> 00:21:14,279
<i>1 just feel really bad.</i>

301
00:21:24,392 --> 00:21:28,707
Not everybody gets the chance
to look in the eye

302
00:21:28,776 --> 00:21:32,055
of the animal
you're about to eat.

303
00:21:34,678 --> 00:21:38,095
Out here there is no
grocery store.

304
00:21:38,164 --> 00:21:40,270
You can't just
open up the fridge,

305
00:21:40,339 --> 00:21:45,620
and when you have
to kill your food,

306
00:21:45,689 --> 00:21:48,485
you don't take it for granted.

307
00:21:48,554 --> 00:21:51,350
Mmm.

308
00:22:19,516 --> 00:22:23,727
<i>- 1 see breakfast.</i>

309
00:22:31,632 --> 00:22:33,703
Ants just boiling
out of that birch.

310
00:22:33,772 --> 00:22:36,119
<i>Bunch of them are getting
away too--1 got to get them.</i>

311
00:22:47,199 --> 00:22:49,684
Here's a big one.

312
00:22:54,171 --> 00:22:56,933
Out here,
any little thing's good,

313
00:22:57,002 --> 00:23:01,593
even if it ain't
a major food source.

314
00:23:02,732 --> 00:23:06,529
That one grabbed
a hold of my tongue.

315
00:23:06,598 --> 00:23:08,462
You got to make sure
you eat their heads first,

316
00:23:08,531 --> 00:23:11,154
or they'll pinch your tongue.

317
00:23:11,223 --> 00:23:14,433
We'll eat stuff you'd never
even touch back home.

318
00:23:14,502 --> 00:23:17,816
Crunch down every bit of it,
and drink the juice

319
00:23:17,885 --> 00:23:19,956
and lick the bowl.

320
00:23:21,751 --> 00:23:24,685
That might be about it.

321
00:23:24,754 --> 00:23:28,447
Nobody got a clue what
it's like to rough it.

322
00:23:30,311 --> 00:23:34,695
I've been living off the land
pretty much my whole life.

323
00:23:34,764 --> 00:23:37,352
I don't do the pacifist,

324
00:23:37,422 --> 00:23:40,942
"all one with the wilderness"
bull[bleep].

325
00:23:41,011 --> 00:23:44,463
I'm a registered big-game
guide in Red Devil, Alaska.

326
00:23:44,532 --> 00:23:45,568
That was a good shot.

327
00:23:45,637 --> 00:23:47,915
<i>1 do extreme wilderness hunts.</i>

328
00:23:47,984 --> 00:23:50,124
I'll spend all winter
out there trapping.

329
00:23:50,193 --> 00:23:53,955
<i>1 call this my moose shot.
1am good at it.</i>

330
00:23:54,024 --> 00:23:55,612
And when I get bored,
I got logging

331
00:23:55,681 --> 00:23:57,925
and try to smash myself
that way.

332
00:23:59,685 --> 00:24:03,620
<i>1 have this opportunity
to make a million bucks.</i>

333
00:24:03,689 --> 00:24:06,830
That's huge in my world.
That's big money, man.

334
00:24:06,899 --> 00:24:10,075
There is nothing going on
in my home life to make me

335
00:24:10,144 --> 00:24:12,284
tap out of this, nothing.

336
00:24:12,353 --> 00:24:15,114
You're gonna have to pull me
out, because a million bucks

337
00:24:15,183 --> 00:24:17,496
is just too much money.

338
00:24:17,565 --> 00:24:19,774
I'm the ultimate
wilderness machine,

339
00:24:19,843 --> 00:24:22,570
and I'm doing this
to show the whole world

340
00:24:22,639 --> 00:24:26,332
I'm the big bull
of the north woods.

341
00:24:28,162 --> 00:24:31,717
What a beautiful lake.

342
00:24:31,786 --> 00:24:36,204
There's a nice little
beach here.

343
00:24:36,273 --> 00:24:39,656
There's some old black bear
tracks here in the sand.

344
00:24:39,725 --> 00:24:42,556
I wanted to look in the sand,
see if there's any fresh prints

345
00:24:42,625 --> 00:24:45,628
of moose or whatever.

346
00:24:45,697 --> 00:24:49,355
Small black bear,
pad and toes.

347
00:24:49,424 --> 00:24:51,323
Old sign.

348
00:24:51,392 --> 00:24:53,428
Clear back,
summertime old.

349
00:24:55,258 --> 00:24:57,778
Oh, there's a big find
right there.

350
00:24:58,710 --> 00:25:03,577
<i>This is what 1 didn't bring,
and it's what 1 might need.</i>

351
00:25:03,646 --> 00:25:05,302
<i>1 can untangle that and get</i>

352
00:25:05,371 --> 00:25:07,995
a hunk of serviceable
fishing line.

353
00:25:08,064 --> 00:25:09,479
It could pay off big time

354
00:25:09,548 --> 00:25:12,724
<i>if 1 can come up
with some kind of hook.</i>

355
00:25:12,793 --> 00:25:17,660
Heading up the shoreline here
to prospect for fishing sites.

356
00:25:20,007 --> 00:25:24,529
<i>1 think it's gonna take
some very strong medicine</i>

357
00:25:24,598 --> 00:25:29,085
to be the last man or woman
after 100 days.

358
00:25:29,154 --> 00:25:30,707
You're gonna
have to do things

359
00:25:30,776 --> 00:25:33,330
you would never dream
of doing.

360
00:25:33,399 --> 00:25:35,505
You're gonna have to be tough,

361
00:25:35,574 --> 00:25:37,507
you're gonna have to be smart,

362
00:25:37,576 --> 00:25:40,234
you're gonna have
to be aggressive,

363
00:25:40,303 --> 00:25:42,857
<i>and 1 got all that
and a couple more.</i>

364
00:25:44,031 --> 00:25:47,103
There's deep water here,
could be good.

365
00:25:47,172 --> 00:25:50,658
I'm gonna go see if there's
a bay on the next side.

366
00:25:56,802 --> 00:25:58,597
Oh, [bleep]!

367
00:26:04,638 --> 00:26:07,537
There he goes.

368
00:26:07,606 --> 00:26:11,403
That [bleep] was close.

369
00:26:11,472 --> 00:26:14,475
Looked to be about
a 40-pounder, too.

370
00:26:19,169 --> 00:26:23,173
How was that for some
close encounters?

371
00:26:23,242 --> 00:26:26,349
That was some pretty intense
wolverine action there, man.

372
00:26:26,418 --> 00:26:31,768
He popped up over that rock
in my face, just right here.

373
00:26:31,837 --> 00:26:34,391
<i>But 1 didn't have a bow.</i>

374
00:26:34,460 --> 00:26:39,362
If he had been any closer,
the axe might have worked.

375
00:26:39,431 --> 00:26:43,021
But no good.

376
00:26:45,023 --> 00:26:47,991
Hoo!

377
00:26:48,060 --> 00:26:51,823
<i>1 don't like him
being around my camp.</i>

378
00:26:51,892 --> 00:26:54,791
Those things are notorious
camp busters.

379
00:26:54,860 --> 00:26:56,966
They're gonna steal your meat.

380
00:27:18,988 --> 00:27:21,784
- Kinda worried about
the bears coming, you know?

381
00:27:21,853 --> 00:27:26,271
<i>1 will be sleeping with my air
horn in my sleeping bag again.</i>

382
00:27:26,340 --> 00:27:30,275
<i>And the reason for that--
is 1 have bear spray also.</i>

383
00:27:30,344 --> 00:27:34,106
But the bear spray's gonna
require me to jump up and move

384
00:27:34,175 --> 00:27:36,730
and spray.

385
00:27:36,799 --> 00:27:39,387
The air horn, 1 actually
don't even have to move.

386
00:27:39,456 --> 00:27:43,391
<i>1 can just deploy the sound
from inside the sleeping bag.</i>

387
00:27:44,807 --> 00:27:49,777
<i>1 don't think my family wants
me dying over anything, so.</i>

388
00:27:58,855 --> 00:28:00,132
The money would do a lot.

389
00:28:00,201 --> 00:28:02,100
This journey
and this experience

390
00:28:02,169 --> 00:28:04,930
and getting to be here
was because of a lot

391
00:28:04,999 --> 00:28:07,415
of my hard work,
but my wife and kids

392
00:28:07,484 --> 00:28:09,659
had to sacrifice as well.

393
00:28:09,728 --> 00:28:13,076
The way to repay them would be
to get them that money.

394
00:28:13,145 --> 00:28:16,424
So for me to stop
anything short of the end

395
00:28:16,493 --> 00:28:19,013
would almost be
kinda like betraying them.

396
00:28:20,394 --> 00:28:23,466
Good night.
Love you guys.

397
00:28:43,866 --> 00:28:46,938
- All right, people.
Let's get cleaned up.

398
00:28:52,667 --> 00:28:56,257
Oh, it's not warm.

399
00:28:58,328 --> 00:29:02,712
Oh, damn it.

400
00:29:06,164 --> 00:29:09,063
Oh, this feels weird.

401
00:29:09,132 --> 00:29:12,204
Getting over it, though.

402
00:29:22,352 --> 00:29:26,667
All right, good and warmed up.

403
00:29:26,736 --> 00:29:28,358
Gonna do a bit
of berry foraging,

404
00:29:28,427 --> 00:29:30,188
maybe bring back
a few mushrooms.

405
00:29:38,713 --> 00:29:40,854
That's a juniper.

406
00:29:47,930 --> 00:29:50,415
Coral fungus.

407
00:29:54,453 --> 00:29:57,215
<i>Al edible, as far as 1 know.</i>

408
00:30:02,945 --> 00:30:05,188
What is that?

409
00:30:05,257 --> 00:30:08,640
Definitely seeing some
tracks in here.

410
00:30:10,090 --> 00:30:12,920
Pretty well-established
little trail here.

411
00:30:15,233 --> 00:30:18,305
Pretty matted down.

412
00:30:18,374 --> 00:30:20,410
Used somewhat recently.

413
00:30:21,998 --> 00:30:24,759
Tough to say
in this environment.

414
00:30:31,421 --> 00:30:33,596
Oh, [bleep], there's a bear.

415
00:30:40,327 --> 00:30:42,225
It's coming my way.

416
00:30:47,541 --> 00:30:51,234
It could be heading
straight into my camp.

417
00:30:51,303 --> 00:30:54,548
The smell of guts.

418
00:30:54,617 --> 00:30:57,689
There's kind of two ways
to go about doing this.

419
00:30:57,758 --> 00:31:03,039
Leave him alone
or go on the offensive.

420
00:31:07,319 --> 00:31:11,806
All right, I'm gonna
go toward the bear.

421
00:31:11,876 --> 00:31:14,637
Erablewith nothing but a green tarp

422
00:31:14,706 --> 00:31:17,329
between me and a bear.

423
00:31:20,229 --> 00:31:22,058
<i>Hoping 1 can get up there
and head him off.</i>

424
00:31:24,267 --> 00:31:26,476
It'd be pretty thrilling
if I had a bow in my hands

425
00:31:26,545 --> 00:31:28,582
right now, wouldn't it?

426
00:31:28,651 --> 00:31:31,585
I'm not the person
who sits in the dark woods

427
00:31:31,654 --> 00:31:33,621
and has the hair stand up
on the back of my neck

428
00:31:33,690 --> 00:31:35,761
as soon as there's a sound.

429
00:31:35,830 --> 00:31:37,522
I'm the person
that hears that thing

430
00:31:37,591 --> 00:31:40,318
and silently goes toward that.

431
00:31:40,387 --> 00:31:43,079
<i>Before he gets the idea
that 1 equal food,</i>

432
00:31:43,148 --> 00:31:46,531
I'd like him to have the idea
that I equal scary,

433
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:49,120
loud noises.

434
00:31:57,093 --> 00:31:59,578
I'm not gonna be
able to get up that ledge.

435
00:32:01,373 --> 00:32:03,237
Dang it.

436
00:32:04,721 --> 00:32:06,896
<i>1 think he got around me.</i>

437
00:32:06,965 --> 00:32:09,623
This is getting crazy.

438
00:32:11,590 --> 00:32:14,248
I've only challenged myself
in this way before

439
00:32:14,317 --> 00:32:16,112
on my own terms.

440
00:32:16,181 --> 00:32:18,390
Never in this way
have the factors

441
00:32:18,459 --> 00:32:21,048
been so completely
out of my control.

442
00:32:53,494 --> 00:32:55,600
Morning.

443
00:32:55,669 --> 00:32:58,154
So much to do.

444
00:32:58,223 --> 00:33:01,675
<i>1 wanna finalize my shelter.</i>

445
00:33:01,744 --> 00:33:03,366
The days are gonna
go by quickly,

446
00:33:03,435 --> 00:33:08,164
<i>and if 1 can forget
about my shelter early on,</i>

447
00:33:08,233 --> 00:33:10,063
then that's--
that's great.

448
00:33:18,450 --> 00:33:19,934
It's simple.

449
00:33:20,004 --> 00:33:22,282
I'm a "keep it simple"
kind of person.

450
00:33:22,351 --> 00:33:26,493
<i>Originally, 1 really liked the
idea of the seven-pole pitch,.</i>

451
00:33:26,562 --> 00:33:29,427
That's how prospector tents
are set up.

452
00:33:29,496 --> 00:33:31,429
All right, in she goes.

453
00:33:31,498 --> 00:33:34,570
But I wanted it to be narrow
enough that the tarp

454
00:33:34,639 --> 00:33:36,434
could go all
the way to the bottom

455
00:33:36,503 --> 00:33:40,300
for wind protection,
because an airproof shelter

456
00:33:40,369 --> 00:33:43,303
is gonna keep you a lot warmer
than a leaky one.

457
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,823
I have to build that up,
way up.

458
00:33:59,802 --> 00:34:03,392
The Arctic is one of the most
dangerous places because

459
00:34:03,461 --> 00:34:07,223
you have to be on your game
for everything.

460
00:34:07,292 --> 00:34:11,710
Winter is coming, and winter
is harsh and relentless.

461
00:34:11,779 --> 00:34:15,300
It doesn't care
if you're here or not.

462
00:34:19,373 --> 00:34:22,756
On the gear list
was a pair of gaiters.

463
00:34:22,825 --> 00:34:24,275
<i>1 sewed them together.</i>

464
00:34:24,344 --> 00:34:27,416
I'm going to use them
as a door.

465
00:34:27,485 --> 00:34:29,797
Don't hate, appreciate.

466
00:34:31,972 --> 00:34:35,389
Through my career I've been
able to inspire a lot of women

467
00:34:35,458 --> 00:34:39,117
that are thinking that
they can't do some things

468
00:34:39,186 --> 00:34:43,190
that aren't necessarily
womanly.

469
00:34:43,259 --> 00:34:46,952
I want to be a voice for women
to feel like they can

470
00:34:47,021 --> 00:34:49,886
just get up and do it.

471
00:34:49,955 --> 00:34:54,443
I'm stronger than a lot of
guys, physically and mentally.

472
00:34:54,512 --> 00:34:58,067
<i>1 wanna finally have a woman
win this show,</i>

473
00:34:58,136 --> 00:35:00,863
<i>and 1 can be that person.</i>

474
00:35:06,351 --> 00:35:08,595
This is my new home.

475
00:35:20,745 --> 00:35:25,059
Gotta say, big fan
of my little caban.

476
00:35:25,129 --> 00:35:28,097
It's just gonna keep
getting better.

477
00:35:28,166 --> 00:35:33,689
<i>1 feel like my knee
could use 3, uh, hot tub.</i>

478
00:35:36,174 --> 00:35:39,729
Maybe I'll order one on Amazon.

479
00:35:39,798 --> 00:35:42,422
Do you think they give
free delivery here?

480
00:35:44,182 --> 00:35:49,705
When I left home, there was
numerous nights crying,

481
00:35:49,774 --> 00:35:52,570
<i>telling Dave that
1 was scared.</i>

482
00:35:52,639 --> 00:35:56,125
But now that I'm out here,
I'm not leaving.

483
00:35:56,194 --> 00:35:59,163
Like, not happening.

484
00:36:08,033 --> 00:36:10,139
- Morning.

485
00:36:15,179 --> 00:36:18,216
<i>Why do 1 have the Toys-R-Us
song stuck in my head?</i>

486
00:36:18,285 --> 00:36:21,737
What the [bleep]?

487
00:36:21,806 --> 00:36:25,016
<i>1 think it's 'cause 1 thought,
"1 don't wanna get up."</i>

488
00:36:26,776 --> 00:36:29,193
<i>Which turned into
"1 don't wanna grow up."</i>

489
00:36:30,470 --> 00:36:31,609
But I'm not gonna sing it,

490
00:36:31,678 --> 00:36:34,853
'cause I'd like for it
to go away.

491
00:36:37,201 --> 00:36:40,031
I'm definitely hungry
right now.

492
00:36:40,100 --> 00:36:42,413
I'm setting snares and
experimenting a little bit

493
00:36:42,482 --> 00:36:43,966
with different methods,
but I'm just keeping it

494
00:36:44,035 --> 00:36:45,726
consistent, figuring out
what's working

495
00:36:45,795 --> 00:36:48,108
and what's not working.

496
00:36:48,177 --> 00:36:50,731
Gotta start getting some food.

497
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:54,079
Everybody knows that's
the name of the game here.

498
00:36:54,148 --> 00:36:56,910
I've probably been getting
about 500 calories a day,

499
00:36:56,979 --> 00:36:59,015
something like that.

500
00:36:59,084 --> 00:37:03,054
I'm pretty used to
functioning on minimum,

501
00:37:03,123 --> 00:37:07,127
<i>but 1 am starting to feel
the effects, you know?</i>

502
00:37:07,196 --> 00:37:10,303
And we're barely
getting started.

503
00:37:21,106 --> 00:37:25,076
<i>Holy [bleep], 1 got a rabbit.
{bleep) yeah!</i>

504
00:37:27,596 --> 00:37:31,669
Oh, yeah, buddy.
Thank you.

505
00:37:31,738 --> 00:37:34,327
Oh, thank God--
Oh!

506
00:37:34,396 --> 00:37:38,469
It worked.
I got you, buddy.

507
00:37:39,504 --> 00:37:41,506
<i>1 got you, bud.</i>

508
00:37:41,575 --> 00:37:45,717
Oh, hey.

509
00:37:45,786 --> 00:37:48,582
Hey, bud.

510
00:37:48,651 --> 00:37:50,826
Oh.

511
00:37:50,895 --> 00:37:52,552
It's a hare.

512
00:37:52,621 --> 00:37:55,865
Yes.

513
00:37:55,934 --> 00:37:59,421
Oh.

514
00:38:01,906 --> 00:38:05,254
He's got some weight to him.
Hope he's not all belly.

515
00:38:05,323 --> 00:38:07,946
Yes!

516
00:38:08,015 --> 00:38:12,296
<i>There's another one.
Holy [bleep), 1 got two.</i>

517
00:38:12,365 --> 00:38:13,952
Oh, man!

518
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:17,818
Look at that.

519
00:38:17,887 --> 00:38:19,889
I'm out here trying
to last 100 days

520
00:38:19,958 --> 00:38:23,376
in a harsh environment,
and I've got a long way to go.

521
00:38:23,445 --> 00:38:27,552
But I'm off to a good start
out here, friends.

522
00:38:27,621 --> 00:38:30,279
Let's try to keep it that way.

523
00:38:54,890 --> 00:38:57,306
- For more on this build,
and to see if I die

524
00:38:57,375 --> 00:38:59,273
in the Arctic,
tune in this Thursday night

525
00:38:59,343 --> 00:39:01,379
to "Alone" on History Channel.

526
00:39:01,448 --> 00:39:03,312
Or maybe I'll get
mauled by a bear.

527
00:39:03,381 --> 00:39:06,591
Tune in this Thursday night,
only on "Alone"--No.

528
00:39:06,660 --> 00:39:09,836
Tune in every Thursday night
for "Alone" on History Channel.

529
00:39:09,905 --> 00:39:11,596
How is that,
is that a better view?

530
00:39:11,665 --> 00:39:14,012
No, I'm in the dark--
No, I'm in the sun.

531
00:39:14,081 --> 00:39:17,257
Welcome back.
I'm Shawn Helton,

532
00:39:17,326 --> 00:39:21,951
AKA, "Shawn With the Wild."
AKA, bushcraft ninja.

533
00:39:22,020 --> 00:39:25,748
AKA, Thor of the woods.
AKA--I don't know.

534
00:39:25,817 --> 00:39:27,888
<i>1 don't really have any more.</i>

535
00:39:34,550 --> 00:39:36,034
<i>Right now, 1 feel great.</i>

536
00:39:36,103 --> 00:39:37,588
<i>1 haven't seen any sign</i>

537
00:39:37,657 --> 00:39:40,038
or heard any sign
of the bears lately,

538
00:39:40,107 --> 00:39:43,421
so I've been able to work
on building a shelter.

539
00:39:43,490 --> 00:39:47,321
I'm not going really fast,
but I'm making progress.

540
00:39:47,391 --> 00:39:50,773
What I'll try to do today
is get some food quickly,

541
00:39:50,842 --> 00:39:52,982
skip out on the shelter
building,

542
00:39:53,051 --> 00:39:55,433
just do a little relaxing.

543
00:40:04,062 --> 00:40:05,409
What is that?

544
00:40:07,583 --> 00:40:10,483
What?

545
00:40:10,552 --> 00:40:13,175
Yes.

546
00:40:14,970 --> 00:40:17,904
Holy [bleep],
that's an old boat.

547
00:40:21,873 --> 00:40:24,255
This journey
just keeps getting

548
00:40:24,324 --> 00:40:26,602
more and more absurd.

549
00:40:28,190 --> 00:40:30,330
All right,
I'm just gonna go for it.

550
00:40:46,311 --> 00:40:49,487
Nice workout.

551
00:40:49,556 --> 00:40:51,972
<i>You know, maybe 1 can
raise it up with some rocks</i>

552
00:40:52,041 --> 00:40:54,285
and build a fire
under the metal.

553
00:40:54,354 --> 00:40:57,081
You got yourself
a sauna or a hot tub.

554
00:40:57,150 --> 00:40:59,842
How nice would that be, to be
out here in the freezing cold,

555
00:40:59,911 --> 00:41:02,845
and have yourself a little--
little spa treatment.

556
00:41:04,157 --> 00:41:06,849
That's crazy.

557
00:41:10,025 --> 00:41:11,958
<i>First, 1 got to gel some water,
bring it back up here.</i>

558
00:41:15,271 --> 00:41:18,930
It's a crazy day to be trying
to go and taking a bath,

559
00:41:18,999 --> 00:41:22,209
but nobody can argue
with a nice, hot bath.

560
00:41:25,489 --> 00:41:28,457
<i>This is the low side,
501 should draw air from here</i>

561
00:41:28,526 --> 00:41:32,081
and ventilate out
the high side over there.

562
00:41:32,150 --> 00:41:34,877
Never thought I'd be
starting a fire under a boat.

563
00:41:36,465 --> 00:41:40,814
Oh, she's a-popping.
Heat that water up, baby.

564
00:41:44,577 --> 00:41:47,545
Nice and toasty.

565
00:41:49,236 --> 00:41:52,170
Ooh, it's like a sauna in here.

566
00:41:55,380 --> 00:41:58,901
It's hot.

567
00:41:58,970 --> 00:42:00,938
It's hot.

568
00:42:03,216 --> 00:42:05,149
Ah,

569
00:42:08,601 --> 00:42:10,568
We can't forget
this little piece.

570
00:42:14,123 --> 00:42:17,023
Northwest Territory, who?

571
00:42:17,092 --> 00:42:19,784
Arctic Circle, what?

572
00:42:19,853 --> 00:42:22,407
I'm out here in a hot tub
full of green tea.

573
00:42:22,476 --> 00:42:24,030
Come on, man.

574
00:42:28,931 --> 00:42:31,796
Keep my junk covered up
with junipers.

575
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:36,698
<i>1 told my wife 1 wouldn't
get naked on TV.</i>

576
00:42:38,216 --> 00:42:41,426
Technically,
this is not naked.

577
00:42:41,495 --> 00:42:43,221
<i>Think if 1 was back at home
right now,</i>

578
00:42:43,290 --> 00:42:46,535
I'd be doing
the grind at work,

579
00:42:46,604 --> 00:42:49,642
day to day,
nine to five.

580
00:42:49,711 --> 00:42:52,645
Everything's hustling
in my world.

581
00:42:52,714 --> 00:42:55,337
Kids coming and going.
Don't get me wrong,

582
00:42:55,406 --> 00:42:57,546
I love them to pieces,
but, you know,

583
00:42:57,615 --> 00:43:00,584
there's people in and out
of the house all the time.

584
00:43:00,653 --> 00:43:03,241
Really no such thing
as solitude.

585
00:43:07,591 --> 00:43:10,455
This journey, this adventure,
this was for me.

586
00:43:10,524 --> 00:43:11,905
That's my reward.

587
00:43:15,633 --> 00:43:17,566
Feels amazing!

588
00:43:17,635 --> 00:43:20,742
Whoo!

589
00:43:20,811 --> 00:43:24,366
Look at that.
I'm pruning.

590
00:43:28,646 --> 00:43:31,891
<i>Man, if 1 can make it
to the end,</i>

591
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:34,100
that would be so cool.

592
00:43:42,039 --> 00:43:44,317
All right, all right.

593
00:43:46,250 --> 00:43:49,771
Man, that whole experience
was amazing.

594
00:43:53,637 --> 00:43:56,812
I'm gonna get us some water on.

595
00:44:04,924 --> 00:44:06,753
All right, Shawn.

596
00:44:14,485 --> 00:44:16,556
The heck is my fire steel?

597
00:44:25,496 --> 00:44:27,912
My pants.

598
00:44:27,981 --> 00:44:30,535
Come on, come on.

599
00:44:32,814 --> 00:44:34,505
Let's drag everything out,
it's got to be there.

600
00:44:34,574 --> 00:44:35,851
Gotta be there.
Gotta--Gotta be there.

601
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:36,956
Just got to.

602
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:42,962
Gotta be here, got to be here.

603
00:44:57,597 --> 00:44:59,668
Come on.

604
00:44:59,737 --> 00:45:02,291
Come on, God.

605
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:04,086
Please let me find
this fire steel.

606
00:45:04,155 --> 00:45:05,329
Come on.

607
00:45:09,574 --> 00:45:11,473
<i>1 know 1 just had it.</i>

608
00:45:11,542 --> 00:45:14,959
God, come on.

609
00:45:18,618 --> 00:45:21,483
Okay, so...

610
00:45:21,552 --> 00:45:25,211
<i>1 got a bit of a problem.</i>

611
00:45:30,112 --> 00:45:33,875
Somewhere out there on that
trail I've lost my fire steel.

612
00:45:39,087 --> 00:45:41,468
That's such a hike,
I'm so tired.

613
00:45:41,537 --> 00:45:45,507
So tired.
I got to find it, though.

614
00:45:45,576 --> 00:45:47,958
I got to find it,
so I'm gonna have to go.

615
00:45:51,306 --> 00:45:54,861
Go back and rehike
that whole trail

616
00:45:54,930 --> 00:45:57,726
<i>and hope 1 can find it.</i>

617
00:45:57,795 --> 00:46:01,281
Oh, man.

618
00:46:01,350 --> 00:46:03,076
Okay.

619
00:46:03,145 --> 00:46:05,803
Come on!

620
00:46:08,979 --> 00:46:11,015
Come on, let's look for it.

621
00:46:11,084 --> 00:46:13,500
Not having fire
in the middle of the Arctic

622
00:46:13,569 --> 00:46:16,883
is a serious situation.

623
00:46:16,952 --> 00:46:18,540
Where is it?

624
00:46:18,609 --> 00:46:20,956
Can't be out here without
a damn fire steel.

625
00:46:21,025 --> 00:46:22,475
That's your means of cooking,

626
00:46:22,544 --> 00:46:25,029
and that's your means of
keeping the predators away.

627
00:46:25,098 --> 00:46:26,928
This can't be it.
This can't be all of it.

628
00:46:26,997 --> 00:46:28,792
This can't be the end.

629
00:46:38,871 --> 00:46:41,874
[bleep] never gonna find it.

630
00:47:06,381 --> 00:47:08,970
Fire's everything out here.

631
00:47:10,903 --> 00:47:12,801
It's not only a means
of cooking your food,

632
00:47:12,870 --> 00:47:16,770
it's the only warmth you have.

633
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:20,291
There's no surviving
the winter without a fire.

634
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:22,707
You'll die out here,

635
00:47:25,710 --> 00:47:30,336
Just don't have the energy
to pursue friction fire.

636
00:47:32,372 --> 00:47:35,548
I've been struggling to start
a fire anyway with a ferro rod

637
00:47:35,617 --> 00:47:38,551
because everything was damp.

638
00:47:56,224 --> 00:47:59,434
<i>1 know what has to be done.</i>

639
00:48:07,614 --> 00:48:11,239
Hello, this is Shawn,
and I'm officially tapping.

640
00:48:15,105 --> 00:48:19,074
<i>1 had everything.</i>

641
00:48:19,143 --> 00:48:21,490
I had all the pieces
to the puzzle.

642
00:48:23,665 --> 00:48:25,425
<i>1 could do it.</i>

643
00:48:27,358 --> 00:48:29,982
I just can't do it
without fire.

644
00:48:37,437 --> 00:48:39,612
The hardest part of it is...

645
00:48:41,855 --> 00:48:43,857
It's having to go
back home knowing that

646
00:48:43,927 --> 00:48:46,688
you've failed your family.

647
00:48:48,621 --> 00:48:50,864
I'm sorry.

648
00:49:14,923 --> 00:49:17,098
Sorry, guys.

649
00:49:17,167 --> 00:49:19,479
<i>1 can't survive out here
without a fire.</i>

650
00:49:23,104 --> 00:49:25,589
I do have experience
making friction fire.

651
00:49:25,658 --> 00:49:27,936
Um, even in optimal conditions,
I'm not--

652
00:49:28,005 --> 00:49:30,180
I'm not the best at it.

653
00:49:30,249 --> 00:49:33,010
And then to keep up
that kind of--

654
00:49:33,079 --> 00:49:35,012
keep up that kind of
energy level and pace

655
00:49:35,081 --> 00:49:38,429
over the next 90 days...

656
00:49:38,498 --> 00:49:41,225
It's just unrealistic.

657
00:49:41,294 --> 00:49:45,609
And there's no need
prolonging the inevitable.

658
00:49:45,678 --> 00:49:48,577
<i>So 1 guess I'm done.</i>

659
00:49:52,996 --> 00:49:55,136
Being on "Alone" was my dream.

660
00:49:55,205 --> 00:49:58,139
It consumed me
for three or four years,

661
00:49:58,208 --> 00:50:01,832
<i>and 1 was able to achieve
that dream.</i>

662
00:50:01,901 --> 00:50:04,731
But I wanted to tell
a longer story.

663
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:06,975
<i>1 wanted to feel complete.</i>

664
00:50:07,044 --> 00:50:09,426
All these things are causing
these emotions.

665
00:50:09,495 --> 00:50:11,600
Everything that you've worked
towards and put into

666
00:50:11,669 --> 00:50:14,120
into get here, is all gone.

667
00:50:14,189 --> 00:50:17,882
<i>Honestly, 1 don't really know
what to do with myself now.</i>

668
00:50:17,951 --> 00:50:22,301
<i>1 realized that when you think
you've got everything,</i>

669
00:50:22,370 --> 00:50:24,924
and you have everything
figured out,

670
00:50:24,993 --> 00:50:29,998
how quickly it all can just go
away just by making a mistake.

671
00:50:38,179 --> 00:50:39,559
I'm your host,
Colby Donaldson,

672
00:50:39,628 --> 00:50:42,252
here with the participants
of tonight's episode,

673
00:50:42,321 --> 00:50:45,876
Shawn, Joe, Kielyn,
and Roland.

674
00:50:45,945 --> 00:50:49,397
We are ready to talk about
everything we just saw.

675
00:50:49,466 --> 00:50:51,640
As a fan of the show,

676
00:50:51,709 --> 00:50:53,987
and having watched
since season one,

677
00:50:54,057 --> 00:50:56,162
it's really obvious
that "Alone"

678
00:50:56,231 --> 00:50:58,613
has a very high respect
and regard

679
00:50:58,682 --> 00:51:00,166
in the survival community.

680
00:51:00,235 --> 00:51:02,203
Roland, tell me about that.

681
00:51:02,272 --> 00:51:04,722
What is it that makes
this series so special?

682
00:51:04,791 --> 00:51:07,794
- This is the Super Bowl

683
00:51:07,863 --> 00:51:10,832
of the survival world.

684
00:51:10,901 --> 00:51:12,903
- How you doin', Roland?

685
00:51:12,972 --> 00:51:16,009
- Hey, I'm on top
of the world, man.

686
00:51:16,079 --> 00:51:18,633
To be chosen for "Alone"

687
00:51:18,702 --> 00:51:21,739
is beyond all ten
of our wildest dreams,

688
00:51:21,808 --> 00:51:27,883
and it is absolutely
100% authentic.

689
00:51:27,952 --> 00:51:30,783
You stick a man or a woman
out there

690
00:51:30,852 --> 00:51:33,717
with nothing to eat,
it's for real.

691
00:51:33,786 --> 00:51:35,477
This is big-time.

692
00:51:35,546 --> 00:51:37,859
- Love it,
Kielyn, let's talk about

693
00:51:37,928 --> 00:51:39,447
launch day.

694
00:51:39,516 --> 00:51:41,173
What kind of emotions
are going through you

695
00:51:41,242 --> 00:51:44,314
as you're launching,
as you're preparing

696
00:51:44,383 --> 00:51:45,970
for this adventure?

697
00:51:46,039 --> 00:51:47,489
- Yeah, it was just
a lot of excitement

698
00:51:47,558 --> 00:51:49,836
just to get things going
and start to

699
00:51:49,905 --> 00:51:51,700
implement your plans

700
00:51:51,769 --> 00:51:54,807
that you had been making for,
you know, months beforehand.

701
00:51:54,876 --> 00:51:57,741
As soon as that helicopter
dropped me off,

702
00:51:57,810 --> 00:51:59,536
it was just silence.

703
00:51:59,605 --> 00:52:01,158
There was a big, uh,

704
00:52:01,227 --> 00:52:02,401
feeling of relief

705
00:52:02,470 --> 00:52:04,403
that it was starting
so it was like

706
00:52:04,472 --> 00:52:06,336
now the game is on.

707
00:52:09,201 --> 00:52:10,857
That's it.

708
00:52:12,342 --> 00:52:14,378
The bugs
are out.

709
00:52:14,447 --> 00:52:16,242
And I'm alone.

710
00:52:20,212 --> 00:52:22,697
- So Shawn,
when you land at your spot

711
00:52:22,766 --> 00:52:25,803
and the chopper takes off,
drops you off,

712
00:52:25,872 --> 00:52:29,290
and you truly,
suddenly are alone,

713
00:52:29,359 --> 00:52:31,395
take us through those first few moments.

714
00:52:31,464 --> 00:52:34,467
- You kinda have it
hyped up in your head

715
00:52:34,536 --> 00:52:36,918
of what it's gonna be like,

716
00:52:36,987 --> 00:52:38,678
and it's a pretty
surreal moment

717
00:52:38,747 --> 00:52:41,060
when the helicopter
takes off

718
00:52:41,129 --> 00:52:42,682
and you know it's not
comin' back.

719
00:52:42,751 --> 00:52:44,857
You know it's it
and it's time to go.

720
00:52:44,926 --> 00:52:46,686
- As soon as you find that hard case

721
00:52:46,755 --> 00:52:48,343
that your equipment's in,

722
00:52:48,412 --> 00:52:50,311
you realize that there are
some scratches

723
00:52:50,380 --> 00:52:51,760
on the outside of that.

724
00:52:51,829 --> 00:52:53,693
Somebody had already discovered
your camera equipment

725
00:52:53,762 --> 00:52:56,144
before you did.

726
00:52:56,213 --> 00:52:59,320
- Okay, so right back here
behind me

727
00:52:59,389 --> 00:53:02,426
about...30 yards or so

728
00:53:02,495 --> 00:53:04,152
is where the...

729
00:53:04,221 --> 00:53:06,741
bear's already tried to get
into my camera case

730
00:53:06,810 --> 00:53:08,950
<i>before 1 even got here.</i>

731
00:53:09,019 --> 00:53:10,986
- What was that like,
you know, having proof

732
00:53:11,055 --> 00:53:13,368
that there are predators out there with you

733
00:53:13,437 --> 00:53:16,129
that quickly into the experience?

734
00:53:16,199 --> 00:53:18,442
<i>- 1 wasn't expecting
any kind of encounter</i>

735
00:53:18,511 --> 00:53:20,237
with a bear immediately,

736
00:53:20,306 --> 00:53:22,343
so I had to start thinking
in my head, you know,

737
00:53:22,412 --> 00:53:24,586
<i>if 1 do have this encounter,</i>

738
00:53:24,655 --> 00:53:26,761
you know, and I'm able
to get a shot off,

739
00:53:26,830 --> 00:53:28,694
for this kind of meat
right in the beginning

740
00:53:28,763 --> 00:53:30,903
<i>would be huge,
but then 1 also have no way</i>

741
00:53:30,972 --> 00:53:33,354
to procure that meat either,
SO...

742
00:53:33,423 --> 00:53:34,700
I kind of had to step back
and be like,

743
00:53:34,769 --> 00:53:36,633
you know, I might just
have to let it go

744
00:53:36,702 --> 00:53:38,980
if I do see it,
because I'm not really ready

745
00:53:39,049 --> 00:53:42,570
to kinda take on that kinda
responsibility yet.

746
00:53:42,639 --> 00:53:45,193
<i>- Okay, Joe, 1 got to
talk to you about, uh,</i>

747
00:53:45,262 --> 00:53:46,539
the squirrel--

748
00:53:46,608 --> 00:53:51,061
one of the most accurate stone-throwing shots

749
00:53:51,130 --> 00:53:53,132
I've ever seen. Then you decide

750
00:53:53,201 --> 00:53:56,031
to chase a bear. What was sort of the logic, uh,

751
00:53:56,100 --> 00:53:57,516
goin' after that bear?

752
00:53:57,585 --> 00:53:59,759
- In my day job,
I've actually done a fair bit

753
00:53:59,828 --> 00:54:03,073
of bear hazing,
or aversive conditioning,

754
00:54:03,142 --> 00:54:05,282
where we actually go scare
bears out of campgrounds

755
00:54:05,351 --> 00:54:07,905
and picnic areas sometimes
if they're, uh,

756
00:54:07,974 --> 00:54:09,631
starting to behave badly.

757
00:54:09,700 --> 00:54:12,565
So I'm fairly accustomed
to chasing off black bears.

758
00:54:12,634 --> 00:54:15,396
All right, I'm gonna
go toward the bear.

759
00:54:15,465 --> 00:54:18,053
<i>1 really felt
the best course of action</i>

760
00:54:18,122 --> 00:54:19,952
was for me to go, uh,

761
00:54:20,021 --> 00:54:21,609
try to give that bear
a scare.

762
00:54:21,678 --> 00:54:23,818
It wasn't going to
serve me in any way

763
00:54:23,887 --> 00:54:26,303
to have a bear in my camp.

764
00:54:26,372 --> 00:54:29,375
- Roland, didn't take long
for you to have an encounter

765
00:54:29,444 --> 00:54:32,309
with a wolverine.
Tell me about that one.

766
00:54:32,378 --> 00:54:34,518
- Yeah, the wolverine was...

767
00:54:34,587 --> 00:54:36,348
wham, right in my face.

768
00:54:36,417 --> 00:54:40,179
<i>1 moved my hand down
to have it on my axe,</i>

769
00:54:40,248 --> 00:54:42,457
and then, of course,
he saw that movement,

770
00:54:42,526 --> 00:54:46,323
pegged me, and went away.

771
00:54:46,392 --> 00:54:48,187
That was a very exciting day,
absolutely.

772
00:54:48,256 --> 00:54:50,776
- Joe, looking back on that first ten days,

773
00:54:50,845 --> 00:54:53,261
any mistakes that you made

774
00:54:53,330 --> 00:54:55,125
that come to mind?

775
00:54:55,194 --> 00:54:57,679
<i>- 1 don't think 1 made any
mistakes on the first ten days.</i>

776
00:54:57,748 --> 00:55:00,924
First ten days were
really awesome for me.

777
00:55:00,993 --> 00:55:02,408
- Kielyn, you feel the same way?

778
00:55:02,477 --> 00:55:04,341
<i>And 1 don't mean they could be big mistakes,</i>

779
00:55:04,410 --> 00:55:06,481
but goin' back, if you
had to do it over again,

780
00:55:06,550 --> 00:55:09,346
maybe something you woulda
changed up in the early part

781
00:55:09,415 --> 00:55:11,210
that you adapted to
or learned

782
00:55:11,279 --> 00:55:12,453
that maybe you changed

783
00:55:12,522 --> 00:55:15,318
as the experience went on.

784
00:55:15,387 --> 00:55:16,974
<i>- 1 think like Joe
1 was really happy</i>

785
00:55:17,043 --> 00:55:18,631
with the first
ten days.

786
00:55:18,700 --> 00:55:21,565
<i>You know,
1 knew my priorities</i>

787
00:55:21,634 --> 00:55:23,878
and stayed adaptable
as well.

788
00:55:23,947 --> 00:55:26,156
<i>When 1 didn't
get a spot for</i>

789
00:55:26,225 --> 00:55:28,952
<i>you know, my gill net,
then 1 just went right into</i>

790
00:55:29,021 --> 00:55:30,471
snaring rabbits
and, you know,

791
00:55:30,540 --> 00:55:31,955
<i>1 was successful at that.</i>

792
00:55:32,024 --> 00:55:35,234
<i>So 1 think, you know,
1 was prioritizing</i>

793
00:55:35,303 --> 00:55:38,271
and it was always changing,
SO...

794
00:55:38,341 --> 00:55:41,585
<i>yeah, 1 was happy.</i>

795
00:55:41,654 --> 00:55:43,138
- Well, when we come back,
we're gonna talk to Shawrst,

796
00:55:43,207 --> 00:55:45,589
tell me what it takes
to survive

797
00:55:45,658 --> 00:55:47,591
something like this
experience.

798
00:55:47,660 --> 00:55:50,111
- Most people have no idea

799
00:55:50,180 --> 00:55:52,113
what it's like not to eat.

800
00:55:52,182 --> 00:55:54,495
We are so blessed
in this country

801
00:55:54,564 --> 00:55:57,256
with however many
meals a day you want.

802
00:55:57,325 --> 00:56:01,812
And it's--it's not like that
when you leave.

803
00:56:01,881 --> 00:56:04,746
That was a good piece
of root right there.

804
00:56:04,815 --> 00:56:06,852
Nice, thick outer shell,

805
00:56:06,921 --> 00:56:09,061
and that's the part ya eat.

806
00:56:09,130 --> 00:56:12,236
It came right off,
that woody stem.

807
00:56:16,724 --> 00:56:18,933
Breakfast finished.

808
00:56:19,002 --> 00:56:21,280
And even for me
that has experience,

809
00:56:21,349 --> 00:56:23,972
or any of us that has
experience like that,

810
00:56:24,041 --> 00:56:26,837
to be dumped with nothin'--

811
00:56:26,906 --> 00:56:29,633
you got your ten items
and some clothes,

812
00:56:29,702 --> 00:56:31,808
and that is it--

813
00:56:31,877 --> 00:56:35,708
it's just a burden
on the mind and the body.

814
00:56:35,777 --> 00:56:37,848
- I've heard of something
called "drop shock,"

815
00:56:37,917 --> 00:56:40,748
you know, basically where
you get dropped off

816
00:56:40,817 --> 00:56:43,026
and all of a sudden,
you forget everything

817
00:56:43,095 --> 00:56:45,235
you were planning
or going to do.

818
00:56:45,304 --> 00:56:47,617
Did any of you ever
experience that out there?

819
00:56:47,686 --> 00:56:49,550
<i>- 1 believe everybody
would experience</i>

820
00:56:49,619 --> 00:56:52,207
drop shock, absolutely.

821
00:56:52,276 --> 00:56:55,694
'Cause that's when it...
comes down, you know.

822
00:56:55,763 --> 00:56:58,006
Now we're gonna do this.

823
00:56:59,145 --> 00:57:02,563
And your plan starts
fallin' apart from there.

824
00:57:02,632 --> 00:57:04,772
- Well, Shawn, you look like
you were having' a great time

825
00:57:04,841 --> 00:57:06,636
<i>out there.
1 mean, you even ended up</i>

826
00:57:06,705 --> 00:57:07,844
with a hot tub.

827
00:57:07,913 --> 00:57:10,709
You found all sorts of
stuff out there,

828
00:57:10,778 --> 00:57:13,159
In fact, we have some
never-before-seen footage

829
00:57:13,228 --> 00:57:14,644
of some of those items,

830
00:57:14,713 --> 00:57:17,060
<i>one of which 1 don't think
anyone expected.</i>

831
00:57:17,129 --> 00:57:18,751
Let's take a look.

832
00:57:18,820 --> 00:57:21,616
- Oh, man, oh--boom!

833
00:57:21,685 --> 00:57:23,515
Ha ha ha ha ha!

834
00:57:23,584 --> 00:57:25,448
That's a game-changer
right there.

835
00:57:26,690 --> 00:57:28,658
See what other kinda goodies
we got around here.

836
00:57:28,727 --> 00:57:29,831
Ha ha ha.

837
00:57:29,900 --> 00:57:32,662
No way!

838
00:57:32,731 --> 00:57:34,560
What?

839
00:57:34,629 --> 00:57:37,460
Check that out.

840
00:57:37,529 --> 00:57:40,083
Mm. I'ma droppin' them
squirrels now.

841
00:57:40,152 --> 00:57:41,912
Puh-puh-puh!

842
00:57:44,190 --> 00:57:46,572
That's insane!

843
00:57:46,641 --> 00:57:49,437
Get offa my lawn!

844
00:57:50,783 --> 00:57:52,440
Look at that.

845
00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:56,582
No holes!

846
00:57:56,651 --> 00:57:59,585
I'm keepin' that bad boy.

847
00:57:59,654 --> 00:58:01,553
Ha ha ha!

848
00:58:01,622 --> 00:58:03,278
Look at that!

849
00:58:03,347 --> 00:58:05,591
Love it!

850
00:58:05,660 --> 00:58:08,663
- Shawn, tell me about
finding all of those things

851
00:58:08,732 --> 00:58:10,665
out there.
- Okay, so that's one of

852
00:58:10,734 --> 00:58:12,391
<i>the things 1 kinda
pride myself on</i>

853
00:58:12,460 --> 00:58:14,255
is bein' able to make use

854
00:58:14,324 --> 00:58:17,016
of kind of left behind
resources.

855
00:58:17,085 --> 00:58:20,468
And I was able to find
a lotta stuff like that

856
00:58:20,537 --> 00:58:22,159
and several other items--
they would have

857
00:58:22,228 --> 00:58:23,885
came in really handy for me.

858
00:58:23,954 --> 00:58:26,716
<i>1 started thinking
to myself that, you know,</i>

859
00:58:26,785 --> 00:58:28,856
you've got a fair shot here
to win this thing

860
00:58:28,925 --> 00:58:30,547
with all these 'cause, like,
I can guarantee

861
00:58:30,616 --> 00:58:32,238
that nobody else
was havin' such luck.

862
00:58:32,307 --> 00:58:35,069
You know, and at that point,
that may have been

863
00:58:35,138 --> 00:58:37,485
<i>when 1 started gettin'
a little bit too comfortable</i>

864
00:58:37,554 --> 00:58:38,831
and a little bit complacent.

865
00:58:38,900 --> 00:58:40,868
- When you lost your ferro rod,

866
00:58:40,937 --> 00:58:44,250
we saw you go back and look for it for a few hours.

867
00:58:44,319 --> 00:58:47,253
Um...tell me about,

868
00:58:47,322 --> 00:58:49,393
you know, the potential
of viewers saying

869
00:58:49,462 --> 00:58:52,189
well, once he lost it,
why didn't he, you know,

870
00:58:52,258 --> 00:58:54,157
try to make a bow drill,

871
00:58:54,226 --> 00:58:55,917
or why didn't he give it one more night,

872
00:58:55,986 --> 00:58:58,195
go back out and look for the fire steel the next day?

873
00:58:58,264 --> 00:59:00,232
Answer those questions
for me.

874
00:59:00,301 --> 00:59:02,441
- In the end there, you know,

875
00:59:02,510 --> 00:59:05,340
there were several factors
that led me

876
00:59:05,409 --> 00:59:07,515
to believe that, you know,

877
00:59:07,584 --> 00:59:10,069
it just wouldn't be a outcome
if I didn't have a fire.

878
00:59:10,138 --> 00:59:11,692
<i>1 had the negative-60
degree bag.</i>

879
00:59:11,761 --> 00:59:13,038
<i>1 could have made it on that.</i>

880
00:59:13,107 --> 00:59:14,833
<i>1 could have forged on
berries.</i>

881
00:59:14,902 --> 00:59:16,455
But the fire really
was all that was

882
00:59:16,524 --> 00:59:18,215
keeping the predators
off of me.

883
00:59:18,284 --> 00:59:20,148
<i>- Yeah. Well, 1 know you wanted</i>

884
00:59:20,217 --> 00:59:21,978
to be a part of "Alone,"”
for many years.

885
00:59:22,047 --> 00:59:24,152
You've been watching
from the outset.

886
00:59:24,221 --> 00:59:26,534
Did the experience
live up to your expectations,

887
00:59:26,603 --> 00:59:30,296
in spite of the fact that
you were out fairly early?

888
00:59:30,365 --> 00:59:33,506
- Oh, yeah, it was 100%,
you know,

889
00:59:33,576 --> 00:59:35,750
<i>everything
that 1 wanted it to be.</i>

890
00:59:35,819 --> 00:59:39,374
And, you know, just gettin'
there for me was a big deal.

891
00:59:39,443 --> 00:59:41,273
Of course, I would have
loved to have stayed

892
00:59:41,342 --> 00:59:42,930
a little bit longer.

893
00:59:42,999 --> 00:59:45,001
But I've always been a fan,
and that's one of the things

894
00:59:45,070 --> 00:59:47,141
<i>1 kinda worried about
in the beginning</i>

895
00:59:47,210 --> 00:59:49,039
<i>was that, you know, if 1 had
a bad experience</i>

896
00:59:49,108 --> 00:59:52,525
that I would kinda fall out
of love with the show,

897
00:59:52,595 --> 00:59:54,562
and that just really
didn't happen, you know?

898
00:59:54,631 --> 00:59:57,530
I would--a lot of people
in the past

899
00:59:57,600 --> 01:00:00,050
will say they don't
wanna go back and do it again,

900
01:00:00,119 --> 01:00:02,052
and I was immediately
wanting to go back in

901
01:00:02,121 --> 01:00:03,813
<i>as soon as 1 came out.</i>

902
01:00:03,882 --> 01:00:05,159
- I just wanted to say that, uh,

903
01:00:05,228 --> 01:00:07,610
you know, whether it was
10 days or 100 days,

904
01:00:07,679 --> 01:00:11,027
that you should definitely
be proud of yourself.

905
01:00:11,096 --> 01:00:13,995
You know, there's millions
of people at home watching

906
01:00:14,064 --> 01:00:18,137
that, you know, wouldn't even
dream of trying to do this.

907
01:00:18,206 --> 01:00:21,796
And we wish we could have seen
more of you out there for sure.

908
01:00:21,865 --> 01:00:25,075
You were a fan favorite.
- Well, thank you.

909
01:00:25,144 --> 01:00:28,044
- Well, gang, that's it for
"Alone: Tales from the Arctic."

910
01:00:28,113 --> 01:00:29,770
I'd like to thank Shawn, Joe,

911
01:00:29,839 --> 01:00:30,771
Kielyn, and Roland

912
01:00:30,840 --> 01:00:32,565
for joining me today.

913
01:00:32,635 --> 01:00:34,844
Make sure you tune in
after each of the episodes.

914
01:00:34,913 --> 01:00:37,329
We'll be right here talking
with the participants.

915
01:00:37,398 --> 01:00:39,089
And now, as we promised,

916
01:00:39,158 --> 01:00:41,264
a sneak peek
at the rest of season seven

917
01:00:41,333 --> 01:00:43,715
of "Alone: Million Dollar
Challenge."

918
01:00:43,784 --> 01:00:45,164
We'll see you next week.

919
01:00:46,718 --> 01:00:49,721
- A hundred days
for a million dollars

920
01:00:49,790 --> 01:00:50,929
definitely is a game-changer.

921
01:00:50,998 --> 01:00:53,379
- That wolverine
is after my fish.

922
01:00:53,448 --> 01:00:57,176
- This is gonna be the ultimate
survival test in the world.

923
01:00:57,245 --> 01:00:59,282
- Oh, my
God, a white wolf,

924
01:00:59,351 --> 01:01:00,559
This is the Arctic.

925
01:01:00,628 --> 01:01:02,561
It's extreme,

926
01:01:02,630 --> 01:01:06,738
and we are all taking
our own lives

927
01:01:06,807 --> 01:01:08,912
into our hands.

928
01:01:08,981 --> 01:01:11,018
- You're gonna have to
do things

929
01:01:11,087 --> 01:01:12,571
you would never dream
of doing.

930
01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:14,573
- There's a black bear.

931
01:01:14,642 --> 01:01:16,126
<i>1 could try and get one.</i>

932
01:01:16,195 --> 01:01:19,233
- Winter is coming,
and winter is harsh.

933
01:01:19,302 --> 01:01:20,234
Brr!

934
01:01:20,303 --> 01:01:21,925
<i>- 1 can't see anything.</i>

935
01:01:21,994 --> 01:01:25,688
- It doesn't care
if you're here or not.

936
01:01:25,757 --> 01:01:28,656
- No, no, no, no.
This is not [bleep] happening!
