1
00:00:06,021 --> 00:00:07,588
[elephant trumpets]
2
00:00:07,755 --> 00:00:10,688
[Ernie] Whoo!
Yeah!
3
00:00:10,855 --> 00:00:12,021
I can't believe
"Naked and Afraid"
4
00:00:12,188 --> 00:00:15,188
was crazy enough to ask me
to come back.
5
00:00:15,355 --> 00:00:16,488
I'm Ernie.
6
00:00:16,488 --> 00:00:20,722
And I'm the biggest true fan
of "Naked and Afraid,"
7
00:00:20,889 --> 00:00:23,288
every season, every episode.
8
00:00:23,455 --> 00:00:25,788
You know, people use the word
"super fan" over and over again.
9
00:00:25,955 --> 00:00:28,388
I'm a true fan.
I have bags.
10
00:00:28,555 --> 00:00:31,588
I have all kinds of memorabilia
that I've collected.
11
00:00:31,755 --> 00:00:33,889
Like, I went
on the "Naked and Afraid" cruise
12
00:00:34,054 --> 00:00:35,522
to meet a bunch of my heroes.
13
00:00:35,688 --> 00:00:38,388
So, yeah, I'm a big, huge fan.
14
00:00:38,555 --> 00:00:42,588
I did a 14-day fan challenge
in the Yucatán in Mexico.
15
00:00:42,755 --> 00:00:44,188
I hate this [bleep] place.
16
00:00:44,355 --> 00:00:46,188
I was baptized under fire.
17
00:00:46,355 --> 00:00:47,288
-We did it.
-[Mandy] Oh my God.
18
00:00:47,455 --> 00:00:48,388
We did it.
19
00:00:49,989 --> 00:00:54,588
I'm here to do
a 21 in Botswana, Africa.
20
00:00:54,755 --> 00:00:57,021
Whoo-hoo!
Can you believe it?
21
00:00:57,188 --> 00:01:00,088
[suspenseful music playing]
22
00:01:00,255 --> 00:01:03,889
[Amy] I'm just not sure anybody
can survive here for 21 days.
23
00:01:04,054 --> 00:01:05,588
-Oh my God.
-[elephant trumpets]
24
00:01:05,755 --> 00:01:07,321
[yells]
25
00:01:07,488 --> 00:01:08,688
[narrator]
Two strangers.
26
00:01:08,855 --> 00:01:10,488
[Viktor] Ah!
Run, go, go, go, go.
27
00:01:11,688 --> 00:01:12,688
No food.
28
00:01:12,855 --> 00:01:15,922
-[Jonny] Ah!
-[groans]
29
00:01:16,088 --> 00:01:17,021
[bleep]
30
00:01:17,188 --> 00:01:18,288
No water.
31
00:01:18,455 --> 00:01:19,788
Ah!
32
00:01:19,955 --> 00:01:20,889
21 days.
33
00:01:21,054 --> 00:01:23,388
-[Tray] Don't tap.
-[roars]
34
00:01:23,555 --> 00:01:24,889
Die first.
35
00:01:25,054 --> 00:01:26,688
"Naked and Afraid."
36
00:01:28,388 --> 00:01:29,588
[elephant trumpets]
37
00:01:29,755 --> 00:01:31,488
[Ernie] Damn, this is pretty.
38
00:01:31,655 --> 00:01:33,922
You're gonna kick my ass,
aren't you, Africa?
39
00:01:35,288 --> 00:01:39,421
I've always wanted to be here.
See the tall grass, the reeds.
40
00:01:39,588 --> 00:01:41,788
You see all the birds
flying around.
41
00:01:41,955 --> 00:01:43,321
[grunts]
42
00:01:43,321 --> 00:01:46,622
[Ernie] You hear the hippos out.
This place is like a heartbeat.
43
00:01:46,788 --> 00:01:48,221
[elephant trumpets]
44
00:01:48,388 --> 00:01:50,188
[Ernie] There's tons of danger
out here.
45
00:01:50,355 --> 00:01:52,688
There's a jaguar,
the lions, the croc.
46
00:01:53,788 --> 00:01:56,021
This is so overwhelming.
47
00:01:56,188 --> 00:02:01,588
And the water is forever.
It's a sea of green.
48
00:02:01,755 --> 00:02:04,021
And instead of it being
like a pasture
49
00:02:04,188 --> 00:02:06,188
or a field, it's water.
50
00:02:08,088 --> 00:02:11,688
Located in southern Africa,
Botswana's Okavango Delta is
51
00:02:11,855 --> 00:02:15,121
a vast inland wetland,
where water flooding
52
00:02:15,288 --> 00:02:18,688
from the Okavango River
slowly fills the grassland,
53
00:02:18,855 --> 00:02:22,021
creating a seasonal habitat
for Africa's large populations
54
00:02:22,188 --> 00:02:26,021
of migrating animals,
including lions,
55
00:02:26,188 --> 00:02:29,188
elephants, and hippopotamuses,
56
00:02:29,355 --> 00:02:32,288
whose two-ton frame
and four-foot gaping mouths
57
00:02:32,455 --> 00:02:35,488
kill 500 humans each year.
58
00:02:35,655 --> 00:02:38,421
As winter weather brings
floodwaters to the region,
59
00:02:38,588 --> 00:02:42,788
it also offsets the searing
sun, with near-freezing nights
60
00:02:42,955 --> 00:02:46,288
and sudden wind gusts
up to 30 miles per hour.
61
00:02:48,588 --> 00:02:52,288
Africa's gonna test me beyond
anything I already know.
62
00:02:52,455 --> 00:02:56,021
It's gonna push me
beyond my limits for sure.
63
00:02:56,188 --> 00:03:00,588
Super intimidating, but as much
as I'm afraid of Africa,
64
00:03:00,755 --> 00:03:05,388
I'm terrified of what
my partner might be here.
65
00:03:05,555 --> 00:03:07,688
I can definitely feel
the nerves, man.
66
00:03:07,855 --> 00:03:10,989
Partnership dynamics
can be volatile.
67
00:03:11,154 --> 00:03:12,889
-Are you happy, Ernie?
-[Ernie] Oh, gosh.
68
00:03:13,054 --> 00:03:16,021
My partner
from the fan challenge, Mandy,
69
00:03:16,188 --> 00:03:18,622
she was a surprising breath
of fresh air.
70
00:03:18,788 --> 00:03:20,822
I am super appreciative
of you making shoes.
71
00:03:20,989 --> 00:03:23,688
We complemented each other.
We did things for each other.
72
00:03:23,855 --> 00:03:27,822
She is a [bleep] rock-star.
73
00:03:27,989 --> 00:03:29,021
Getting closer.
74
00:03:29,188 --> 00:03:31,622
Ah, dang!
75
00:03:31,788 --> 00:03:33,722
The one thing you can't control
is your partner.
76
00:03:33,889 --> 00:03:38,321
And I think once I meet
my partner, that I'll feel
77
00:03:38,488 --> 00:03:41,989
so much more relaxed.
And hopefully, we get along.
78
00:03:44,021 --> 00:03:45,021
The moment of truth.
79
00:03:46,221 --> 00:03:47,788
I'm super apprehensive.
80
00:03:47,955 --> 00:03:49,388
I tell this to people all
the time,
81
00:03:49,555 --> 00:03:51,021
'cause everyone always asks.
82
00:03:51,188 --> 00:03:53,388
You can practice fire,
you can practice shelter,
83
00:03:53,555 --> 00:03:56,488
you can practice every weakness
you have and every strength
84
00:03:56,655 --> 00:03:58,989
you can sharpen,
but you can never be in control
85
00:03:59,154 --> 00:04:00,288
of your partner.
86
00:04:02,588 --> 00:04:07,121
Man, if I end up with some
lazy, self-loathing,
87
00:04:07,288 --> 00:04:09,788
[bleep] negative,
egotistical beast,
88
00:04:09,955 --> 00:04:11,688
I'm just gonna lose my [bleep].
89
00:04:22,688 --> 00:04:25,021
All right, all right.
I feel better now.
90
00:04:25,188 --> 00:04:26,522
-[bleep]
-[Mandy] You're kidding me!
91
00:04:26,688 --> 00:04:28,288
[both laugh]
92
00:04:30,288 --> 00:04:32,588
Oh, my God!
You've gotta be kidding me!
93
00:04:32,755 --> 00:04:34,388
This is so much better!
94
00:04:34,555 --> 00:04:37,488
Ernie, we're gonna
do this again!
95
00:04:37,655 --> 00:04:38,889
Oh, my gosh!
96
00:04:39,054 --> 00:04:40,321
-[Ernie groans]
-[Mandy squeals] [bleep]
97
00:04:44,922 --> 00:04:47,188
I'm about to do 21 days
98
00:04:48,622 --> 00:04:50,622
in Botswana.
99
00:04:50,788 --> 00:04:53,588
This is the scaredest
I've ever been probably
100
00:04:53,755 --> 00:04:56,188
in my entire life,
if I'm being honest.
101
00:04:56,355 --> 00:04:57,522
[crocodile hisses]
102
00:04:57,688 --> 00:05:00,588
[Mandy] Absolutely more scared
than I was last time.
103
00:05:01,588 --> 00:05:05,188
My name's Mandy, and I just
finished a 14-day challenge.
104
00:05:05,355 --> 00:05:07,221
-[Mandy screams] Bats -- ooh!
-[Ernie] Uh-oh.
105
00:05:07,388 --> 00:05:08,889
[Mandy]
I knew it was gonna be hard,
106
00:05:09,054 --> 00:05:11,021
but I couldn't
107
00:05:11,188 --> 00:05:12,522
possibly fathom how hard.
-[Ernie speaking]
108
00:05:12,688 --> 00:05:13,989
A lizard.
109
00:05:14,154 --> 00:05:15,922
We tried to eat...
110
00:05:17,121 --> 00:05:18,221
[indistinct whispering]
111
00:05:18,388 --> 00:05:20,822
...but unfortunately,
we were not successful.
112
00:05:20,989 --> 00:05:25,021
So during the whole 14 days,
we only ate cactus.
113
00:05:25,188 --> 00:05:28,722
So I knew right away I needed
to learn how to trap,
114
00:05:28,889 --> 00:05:31,121
set traps, snares,
things like that.
115
00:05:32,388 --> 00:05:36,288
I had opportunity between
the two challenges to really
116
00:05:36,455 --> 00:05:38,388
focus on the things
I wasn't good at.
117
00:05:38,555 --> 00:05:41,021
And now it's my time to prove
that I am good at these things.
118
00:05:48,321 --> 00:05:50,488
[Mandy gasps]
You're [bleep] kidding me!
119
00:05:50,655 --> 00:05:52,788
[both laugh]
120
00:05:52,955 --> 00:05:55,088
[Mandy] Oh my God,
you gotta be kidding me!
121
00:05:55,255 --> 00:05:58,021
The last person I expected.
The last person.
122
00:05:58,188 --> 00:06:00,588
-But the best person.
-The best.
123
00:06:00,755 --> 00:06:01,655
This has never happened.
124
00:06:01,822 --> 00:06:03,889
Two fans coming in together
for a 21.
125
00:06:04,054 --> 00:06:06,188
This has never happened.
I don't think they've ever had.
126
00:06:07,388 --> 00:06:09,588
Are you kidding me?
127
00:06:09,755 --> 00:06:13,021
We're so lucky to be first
in "Naked and Afraid" history
128
00:06:13,188 --> 00:06:15,288
to go from a fan
to a 21 together.
129
00:06:15,455 --> 00:06:18,622
Hey, we're not two fans
trying to figure it out
130
00:06:18,788 --> 00:06:19,788
this time.
131
00:06:19,955 --> 00:06:22,588
I don't have an opportunity
to tap.
132
00:06:22,755 --> 00:06:23,788
Wow.
133
00:06:23,788 --> 00:06:25,688
I've been a part
of this community for years.
134
00:06:25,855 --> 00:06:29,321
I will catch all kinds [bleep],
not only from my family,
135
00:06:29,488 --> 00:06:30,588
but from other fans.
136
00:06:30,755 --> 00:06:31,889
I even made the comment,
someone asked me,
137
00:06:32,054 --> 00:06:33,221
"Who would be
your perfect partner?"
138
00:06:33,388 --> 00:06:34,822
And I was like,
"OK, well, imagine Mandy,
139
00:06:34,989 --> 00:06:37,889
and then branch out from there."
-Maybe with some more skill set.
140
00:06:38,054 --> 00:06:39,688
But hey, Mandy 2.0 is here.
141
00:06:39,855 --> 00:06:41,488
-[Ernie] All right, awesome.
-Mandy 2.0 is here.
142
00:06:41,655 --> 00:06:43,488
I can't see how we can fail.
143
00:06:43,655 --> 00:06:45,021
-Let's get to it.
-OK.
144
00:06:45,188 --> 00:06:47,121
We figured out through some of
the hardest times in our lives
145
00:06:47,288 --> 00:06:48,488
how to get through 14.
146
00:06:48,655 --> 00:06:49,822
We just gotta get through
one week.
147
00:06:49,822 --> 00:06:51,488
It's that last week that's
gonna make the difference.
148
00:06:51,655 --> 00:06:53,021
It's the one that's gonna bite.
149
00:06:53,188 --> 00:06:54,889
We got a little bit more
than our supplies.
150
00:06:55,054 --> 00:06:59,321
Um, mokoro, I believe,
is the African canoe name.
151
00:06:59,488 --> 00:07:02,221
But that means
we're not staying here.
152
00:07:02,388 --> 00:07:04,221
You know, normally when they
give you extra [bleep], it's...
153
00:07:04,388 --> 00:07:05,655
[Mandy]
We gotta use it.
154
00:07:05,655 --> 00:07:08,522
Traditionally dug out
from the trunk of a large tree,
155
00:07:08,688 --> 00:07:13,622
a mokoro is a canoe used
for navigating the channels
156
00:07:13,788 --> 00:07:15,388
and flooded plains
of Botswana's Okavango Delta.
157
00:07:15,555 --> 00:07:17,121
-[Ernie] Dude, this is...
-[hollow knocking]
158
00:07:17,288 --> 00:07:18,889
-pretty badass.
-What you got?
159
00:07:19,054 --> 00:07:20,388
-What you got?
-Yeah.
160
00:07:20,555 --> 00:07:22,488
I have my machete.
161
00:07:22,655 --> 00:07:24,221
I like it.
162
00:07:24,388 --> 00:07:26,889
I've got a very cool fishing
kit here.
163
00:07:27,054 --> 00:07:29,288
-So we are eating this time.
-Yes.
164
00:07:29,455 --> 00:07:30,722
We're eating.
165
00:07:30,889 --> 00:07:32,288
In addition
to their survival items,
166
00:07:32,455 --> 00:07:33,688
Mandy and Ernie have been given
167
00:07:33,855 --> 00:07:37,121
a fire starter,
a pot, and a map of the Delta.
168
00:07:37,288 --> 00:07:38,922
-[Ernie] Ah, voila.
-Where are we going?
169
00:07:39,088 --> 00:07:40,221
OK, so we're here.
170
00:07:40,388 --> 00:07:42,722
-[Ernie] Yeah.
-[Mandy] And we have...
171
00:07:42,889 --> 00:07:44,121
[Ernie] Ah, the Tree of Life.
172
00:07:44,288 --> 00:07:46,688
[Mandy] So we're gonna have
to canoe there today.
173
00:07:46,855 --> 00:07:48,488
It's gonna be a tough push out.
174
00:07:48,655 --> 00:07:49,688
Yeah.
We need to get started
175
00:07:49,855 --> 00:07:51,088
like yesterday.
-Yeah.
176
00:07:51,255 --> 00:07:52,488
-Let's get on the move.
-[Mandy] Let's do it.
177
00:07:52,655 --> 00:07:53,955
[Ernie] Let's do it.
178
00:07:53,955 --> 00:07:56,688
To reach their island,
Mandy and Ernie must navigate
179
00:07:56,855 --> 00:08:01,121
their mokoro 2.1 miles north
through the flood basin where
180
00:08:01,288 --> 00:08:04,088
Nile crocodiles hide amongst
the papyrus reeds.
181
00:08:05,221 --> 00:08:07,822
-[Mandy] All right, buddy.
-[Ernie] All right.
182
00:08:07,989 --> 00:08:10,488
-Off we go.
-[Mandy] There we go.
183
00:08:11,788 --> 00:08:13,355
We're going.
184
00:08:15,822 --> 00:08:19,221
I'm gonna try standing just
because I feel like I've got
185
00:08:19,388 --> 00:08:22,488
more leverage that way.
-You might wanna be careful.
186
00:08:22,655 --> 00:08:24,688
You know, you land
in this water, you got crocs
187
00:08:24,855 --> 00:08:28,121
and you got, we got snakes
and we got all kinds of [bleep]
188
00:08:28,288 --> 00:08:29,788
we don't know
that's floating in here.
189
00:08:29,955 --> 00:08:31,788
[Mandy gasps and screams]
There's a spider.
190
00:08:31,955 --> 00:08:34,688
-OK.
-[screams] It's so big.
191
00:08:34,855 --> 00:08:37,622
There are spiders everywhere.
192
00:08:37,788 --> 00:08:40,288
I did not take
that into consideration.
193
00:08:40,455 --> 00:08:42,388
-On the water?
-On the water.
194
00:08:42,555 --> 00:08:43,688
[Ernie speaking]
195
00:08:45,188 --> 00:08:46,488
[Mandy]
These spiders are not great.
196
00:08:48,688 --> 00:08:50,188
I don't mind getting filthy,
197
00:08:50,355 --> 00:08:52,989
I don't mind trucking
through thorns.
198
00:08:53,154 --> 00:08:54,121
[yelps] Sorry.
199
00:08:54,288 --> 00:08:56,488
But, when it comes
to bugs and spiders...
200
00:08:56,655 --> 00:08:58,188
-Oh, my God.
-Hang in there.
201
00:08:58,355 --> 00:08:59,288
[Mandy]
Something's crawling on me.
202
00:08:59,455 --> 00:09:01,021
I scream.
203
00:09:01,188 --> 00:09:02,388
[yelps]
204
00:09:02,555 --> 00:09:04,288
And I can't control it,
so it's something
205
00:09:04,455 --> 00:09:06,488
that I'm gonna try to work on,
'cause they're everywhere.
206
00:09:06,655 --> 00:09:07,822
[screams] [bleep]
207
00:09:07,989 --> 00:09:09,788
Oh!
Oh, my God!
208
00:09:09,955 --> 00:09:11,088
It's OK, it's OK, it's OK.
209
00:09:11,088 --> 00:09:13,021
-I thought you were gonna tip.
-I got it, I got it.
210
00:09:13,188 --> 00:09:14,188
[Mandy] You're brave.
211
00:09:14,355 --> 00:09:15,622
That spider web was right
in your face.
212
00:09:15,788 --> 00:09:16,722
-[Ernie] Yeah.
-[creepy chord plays]
213
00:09:20,822 --> 00:09:23,021
-[Ernie grunts]
-[Mandy] Whoo!
214
00:09:23,188 --> 00:09:25,488
[Ernie]
Man, I'm telling you what,
215
00:09:25,655 --> 00:09:26,922
my shoulders are feeling it.
-[Mandy] Yeah -- It's a workout.
216
00:09:27,088 --> 00:09:27,922
No doubt about that.
217
00:09:28,088 --> 00:09:29,188
[Ernie] It is.
It is.
218
00:09:29,355 --> 00:09:31,588
-[Mandy] Take a hard left.
-[Ernie groans]
219
00:09:31,755 --> 00:09:33,321
[Mandy] There we go.
There we go.
220
00:09:33,488 --> 00:09:34,688
[Ernie]
See to the right?
221
00:09:35,788 --> 00:09:37,121
-The tree.
-You think that's it?
222
00:09:37,288 --> 00:09:39,388
-I think that's the right one.
-Yeah, that's gotta be it.
223
00:09:39,555 --> 00:09:41,221
I don't see any of the tree
that kind of looks like
224
00:09:41,388 --> 00:09:43,288
that, you know?
-[Ernie] Is it that way?
225
00:09:43,455 --> 00:09:44,822
-Yeah.
-[Ernie] Yeah, let's do it.
226
00:09:47,288 --> 00:09:50,822
-That final push for the day.
-Yeah.
227
00:09:51,889 --> 00:09:53,288
Oh, it's definitely getting
more shallow.
228
00:09:53,455 --> 00:09:54,488
Oh, yeah.
I just hit the bottom.
229
00:09:54,655 --> 00:09:56,822
I'm gonna go ahead and
get out here?
230
00:09:56,989 --> 00:09:58,388
Yep.
You want me to get out first?
231
00:09:58,555 --> 00:10:00,321
-Yeah, yeah.
-Whoo!
232
00:10:00,488 --> 00:10:01,588
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's very shallow.
233
00:10:01,755 --> 00:10:04,388
We're good.
The endorphins are rolling.
234
00:10:04,555 --> 00:10:05,822
Super excited.
235
00:10:05,822 --> 00:10:09,221
But I can't neglect the fact
that the hard stuff's coming.
236
00:10:11,121 --> 00:10:13,822
[Mandy] What, what?
Oh, you know what that means.
237
00:10:13,989 --> 00:10:15,488
-[Ernie] Yeah.
-They could be close by.
238
00:10:15,655 --> 00:10:17,488
-[Ernie] Yeah.
-[elephant groans]
239
00:10:17,655 --> 00:10:19,221
[Mandy] Did you find a spot
to tie it off on?
240
00:10:19,388 --> 00:10:20,555
[Ernie] Yeah.
241
00:10:20,722 --> 00:10:23,288
[Mandy] We have the most danger
predators around us,
242
00:10:23,455 --> 00:10:24,722
and they're nocturnal.
243
00:10:24,889 --> 00:10:26,788
That's a different type of scat.
That's not elephant.
244
00:10:26,955 --> 00:10:28,588
-[Ernie] Oh, no, no, that's a...
-What is that, you think?
245
00:10:28,755 --> 00:10:31,121
[Ernie] That's a...
That could be a cat.
246
00:10:31,288 --> 00:10:33,188
[Mandy] We are definitely
in their territory.
247
00:10:33,355 --> 00:10:37,088
It is imperative that we get
that boma done as soon
248
00:10:37,255 --> 00:10:40,021
as possible.
-[lion growling]
249
00:10:40,188 --> 00:10:42,021
[Ernie] So, we need coverage.
250
00:10:42,188 --> 00:10:44,221
Um, so we need to be
in the trees.
251
00:10:44,388 --> 00:10:46,288
There's, like, that big
shady-looking tree over there.
252
00:10:46,455 --> 00:10:47,622
[Ernie] Yeah, exactly
Yeah, exactly, yeah.
253
00:10:47,622 --> 00:10:49,788
[Mandy] Let's see what we're
working with, at least.
254
00:10:49,955 --> 00:10:51,154
[Ernie] Exactly.
255
00:10:53,421 --> 00:10:55,388
-[Mandy] Let's take
a look over here.
-[Ernie] Yeah.
256
00:10:55,555 --> 00:10:57,722
[Mandy] Look at this.
This is some nice shelter.
257
00:10:57,889 --> 00:10:59,588
Do you think that this would
be good?
258
00:10:59,755 --> 00:11:02,588
And, like, so what we could do
is build our, like,
259
00:11:02,755 --> 00:11:04,121
this could be our entryway.
-Yeah.
260
00:11:04,288 --> 00:11:05,321
We could put the fire here.
261
00:11:05,488 --> 00:11:06,688
There's enough
clearance overhead.
262
00:11:06,855 --> 00:11:08,121
I don't see any ants.
263
00:11:08,288 --> 00:11:10,388
I don't see any spiders
coming above.
264
00:11:10,555 --> 00:11:11,388
-All right.
-All right.
265
00:11:11,555 --> 00:11:12,421
-Home.
-Ready?
266
00:11:12,588 --> 00:11:13,788
-21 days.
-Got it.
267
00:11:13,955 --> 00:11:14,889
[Mandy] Here in Botswana,
this time of year,
268
00:11:15,054 --> 00:11:16,722
we only get about
11 hours of daylight.
269
00:11:16,889 --> 00:11:19,188
And we are well surpassed
the halfway point.
270
00:11:19,355 --> 00:11:21,321
So, I think we're gonna
use our strength.
271
00:11:21,488 --> 00:11:23,088
While you're building,
I'm starting that fire.
272
00:11:23,255 --> 00:11:24,588
After that, I'll start
clearing out.
273
00:11:24,755 --> 00:11:26,388
[Ernie] OK.
274
00:11:26,555 --> 00:11:28,288
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
275
00:11:28,455 --> 00:11:30,388
There is something
on your cheek, buddy.
276
00:11:30,555 --> 00:11:32,221
Oh, it's a leech.
277
00:11:32,388 --> 00:11:35,021
-[Ernie laughs]
-OK, I'm just gonna pull it.
278
00:11:35,188 --> 00:11:37,788
[Ernie] OK, if you rub
the head of it.
279
00:11:37,955 --> 00:11:39,188
[Mandy] Where's the head?
Is that the head?
280
00:11:39,188 --> 00:11:40,688
-I don't know.
-[Ernie] Well, the part
that's stuck.
281
00:11:40,855 --> 00:11:42,321
-They're both stuck.
-Both?
282
00:11:42,488 --> 00:11:43,388
-Yes.
-There's two?
283
00:11:43,555 --> 00:11:44,522
Yeah, rip it off.
284
00:11:44,688 --> 00:11:46,722
[grunts] Oh, my God.
285
00:11:46,889 --> 00:11:48,421
[yelps] Where'd it go?
286
00:11:48,588 --> 00:11:50,288
[Ernie laughs]
287
00:11:50,455 --> 00:11:52,889
-Oh, man, that was funny.
-Thank you.
288
00:11:53,054 --> 00:11:54,822
You're welcome.
You're welcome.
289
00:11:54,989 --> 00:11:56,588
Now, I don't know where
I threw the damn thing.
290
00:11:56,755 --> 00:11:58,488
-[Ernie continues laughing]
-It's so slimy.
291
00:11:58,655 --> 00:12:00,788
[both laugh]
292
00:12:04,088 --> 00:12:06,188
[Ernie] The -- the boma's --
293
00:12:06,355 --> 00:12:08,722
it's, uh, it's
absolutely necessary.
294
00:12:08,889 --> 00:12:10,288
It's for our protection.
295
00:12:10,455 --> 00:12:13,989
Africa comes alive at night,
and that's why it's important
296
00:12:14,154 --> 00:12:15,388
we're on the clock.
297
00:12:15,555 --> 00:12:17,221
Ernie and Mandy are
surrounding their camp
298
00:12:17,388 --> 00:12:21,588
with a six-foot-tall boma built
with layers of stacked branches
299
00:12:21,755 --> 00:12:24,688
and filled in with thorny palm
leaves for protection
300
00:12:24,855 --> 00:12:26,788
from nighttime predators.
301
00:12:26,955 --> 00:12:28,288
A lot of these have thorns
in them.
302
00:12:28,455 --> 00:12:29,421
[bleep]
303
00:12:29,588 --> 00:12:30,922
Ah, [bleep]
304
00:12:31,088 --> 00:12:33,321
The palms have, like,
these gargantuan thorns
305
00:12:33,488 --> 00:12:34,622
on 'em, too, so...
306
00:12:35,822 --> 00:12:38,154
Yeah, I'm gonna use that
to try to cover it.
307
00:12:40,622 --> 00:12:42,922
Just getting a little bit
more tinder,
308
00:12:43,088 --> 00:12:45,822
so that way, when it's go time,
we're good.
309
00:12:50,588 --> 00:12:52,522
I got it started
within seconds.
310
00:12:53,722 --> 00:12:54,722
All right.
311
00:12:56,121 --> 00:12:57,688
OK.
All right.
312
00:12:57,855 --> 00:12:59,188
I'm gonna take a break
from this,
313
00:12:59,355 --> 00:13:00,522
and I'm gonna help you.
-[Ernie] Yeah.
314
00:13:00,688 --> 00:13:02,421
because our daylight is gonna
go quickly.
315
00:13:02,588 --> 00:13:04,488
[both exhale]
316
00:13:05,488 --> 00:13:06,488
[softly] All right.
317
00:13:08,889 --> 00:13:11,288
I wish it was just
a little thicker.
318
00:13:11,455 --> 00:13:13,889
I feel like there's still
a lot to fill up.
319
00:13:14,054 --> 00:13:15,522
Not a lot of time.
320
00:13:17,989 --> 00:13:21,288
-Wanna use this for our door?
-[Ernie] Yeah.
321
00:13:21,455 --> 00:13:24,021
-Yeah, that's a great idea.
-You mean it's bushy enough?
322
00:13:24,188 --> 00:13:25,688
[Ernie] Yeah.
323
00:13:25,855 --> 00:13:27,989
All right, so we're done
for the night?
324
00:13:28,154 --> 00:13:29,288
Yes.
325
00:13:29,288 --> 00:13:30,588
We'll see what works tonight,
and then we'll fill
326
00:13:30,755 --> 00:13:33,622
in those gaps tomorrow.
-[Ernie] Yep.
327
00:13:33,788 --> 00:13:37,588
[Mandy] Day one,
we're on lockdown for the night.
328
00:13:37,755 --> 00:13:40,688
Got our fire.
We've got our boma.
329
00:13:40,855 --> 00:13:42,188
Hanging out with my,
330
00:13:42,355 --> 00:13:44,488
used to be my jungle friend.
331
00:13:44,655 --> 00:13:46,822
Now he's my Delta dude.
332
00:13:46,989 --> 00:13:49,088
I'm a little scared
of what's gonna come out later.
333
00:13:49,255 --> 00:13:50,321
[Ernie] Yeah.
334
00:13:50,321 --> 00:13:52,588
[Mandy] Tonight's gonna
be a...an experiment.
335
00:13:52,755 --> 00:13:54,622
-[Ernie] Yeah, it is.
-[Mandy] Let's see
how that goes.
336
00:13:54,788 --> 00:13:56,021
[Mandy speaking]
337
00:13:56,188 --> 00:13:58,188
[insects chirping]
338
00:14:06,121 --> 00:14:08,021
[elephant trumpets and roars
in distance]
339
00:14:08,188 --> 00:14:10,588
-That was an elephant.

-Nope, nothing on that one.

OK, but it's still
got the bait.

that we get something soon.

very eye-opening experience

everything to me, and, um...

[Ernie] So the bugs,

that's something
we have to solve,
882

or everything else gets harder.
883
00:40:55,255 --> 00:40:58,188
We need to start working
on a shelter.
884
00:40:58,355 --> 00:41:01,388
I know that lean-to's super
important to both of us.
885

-So...
-Yeah.
886
00:41:02,822 --> 00:41:06,488
...we can build walls and try
to protect us from the bugs.
887
00:41:06,655 --> 00:41:08,989
And just in case it rains,
we do need something.
888
00:41:09,154 --> 00:41:09,989
I love it.
Yep.
889
00:41:10,154 --> 00:41:12,221
-Let's do that.
-OK -- OK.
890
00:41:12,388 --> 00:41:15,288
Mandy and Ernie will combat
bugs by building an enclosed
891
00:41:15,455 --> 00:41:20,188
lean-to structure with thatched
walls for protection and move
892
00:41:20,355 --> 00:41:22,688
the fire closer for extra
heat and smoke.
893
00:41:24,488 --> 00:41:28,788
[Ernie] A shelter will provide
us a solid surface cover
894
00:41:28,955 --> 00:41:31,722
and a reflecting wall,
895
00:41:31,889 --> 00:41:34,488
and we'll be able
to bring the fire in closer
896
00:41:34,655 --> 00:41:36,588
to keep bugs away.
897
00:41:36,755 --> 00:41:40,588
[Mandy] This lean-to is pretty
important to both of us,
898
00:41:40,755 --> 00:41:43,688
but it's also not something
we can whip up in a day.
899
00:41:43,855 --> 00:41:45,488
So we're starting it tonight.
900
00:41:45,655 --> 00:41:47,522
It's not gonna finish,
but there's a chance it could
901
00:41:47,688 --> 00:41:49,288
be finished by tomorrow.
902
00:41:49,455 --> 00:41:50,788
But it's pretty important,
so I'd like it to be done

Let's get this thing started.
906
00:42:01,755 --> 00:42:03,889
So we're gonna be
constructing the lean-to
907
00:42:04,054 --> 00:42:07,722
right here.
So this is a possible Y-brace.
908
00:42:07,889 --> 00:42:09,488
So we're gonna keep that here.
909
00:42:09,655 --> 00:42:11,321
This is our cross beam.
910
00:42:11,488 --> 00:42:14,288
Shelter is the inner perimeter.
911
00:42:14,455 --> 00:42:16,321
This is our interior design.
912
00:42:18,088 --> 00:42:19,488
Yeah.
We've done the exterior.
913
00:42:19,655 --> 00:42:20,822
Now we've gotta
do the interior.
914
00:42:20,989 --> 00:42:22,788
-Right.
-So this is going to be our Y.

-Yep.

00:42:24,755 --> 00:42:25,889
[Ernie] Prior to even going
on the challenge,
917
00:42:26,054 --> 00:42:27,889
I've heard from a lot
of survivalists before
918
00:42:28,054 --> 00:42:29,889
on "Naked and
Afraid" how they don't like
919
00:42:30,054 --> 00:42:32,021
to worry about shelter
'cause it's a waste of time,
920
00:42:32,188 --> 00:42:34,121
and they burn too much energy,
blah, blah, blah.
921
00:42:34,288 --> 00:42:35,922
[Mandy] All right,
let me secure these.
922
00:42:36,088 --> 00:42:38,488

the polar opposite thought.

[Mandy] Hey!
924
00:42:40,054 --> 00:42:44,188
[Ernie] After the Yucatán
and after these bugs,
925
00:42:44,355 --> 00:42:47,121
I will say shelter
is imperative.
926
00:42:47,288 --> 00:42:49,922
All right,
the basic structure is up.
927
00:42:50,088 --> 00:42:52,488
We made some adjustments.
It's no longer a lean-to.
928
00:42:52,655 --> 00:42:53,755
It's just a shelter.
929
00:42:53,922 --> 00:42:56,522
However, I feel
like there's still a lot to do.
930
00:42:56,688 --> 00:42:58,889
We're gonna add walls,
and then we're just gonna
931
00:42:59,054 --> 00:43:01,121
tie some leaves on there.
932

OK.

a little bit, but OK, just...

Oh!
Big spider!
1535
01:17:28,455 --> 01:17:29,588
It's so big.
Oh, my God.

I gotta get it out.
Gotta get it out.

-Good job.

OK, my heart rate's

[Ernie] These reeds are so hard
to oar through.
1546
01:17:49,755 --> 01:17:51,788
It's shallow enough, I think
I can get out and walk
1547
01:17:51,955 --> 01:17:53,622
some of it.
1548
01:17:53,788 --> 01:17:56,188

In the Yucatán, it was just
ugly, ugly, ugly,

trying to make it through trees.
1554

Here, it's so much more open,

[Ernie] We've gotta be around
the four mile mark by now.

Not only is there's
no determination in distance,

01:18:48,788 --> 01:18:51,321
but I don't know how heavy
that mokoro actually is,

like it's 1,000 pounds.

over the shallow water back
