Who knows what will show up in this thing. 364 00:27:22,120 --> 00:27:23,300 This is largely... 365 00:27:24,990 --> 00:27:27,710 Experimental for me. I've not done one just like this tight. 366 00:27:36,810 --> 00:27:38,110 So I've got my hoop. 367 00:27:38,450 --> 00:27:42,170 I'm going to run long pieces down, and they're going to join crisscross 368 00:27:42,170 --> 00:27:46,690 together like the top of a teepee. I just made this smaller loop, and I'm 369 00:27:46,690 --> 00:27:49,670 thinking about maybe putting it in here somewhere. 370 00:27:50,050 --> 00:27:52,210 All these other pieces will tie to it. 371 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:56,760 That will give it some structure between this hoop and that hoop. And then tie 372 00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,580 the ends together, just interlock, just lash them together. 373 00:28:00,220 --> 00:28:05,420 And then for filler, come in with some smaller branches and weave over and 374 00:28:05,420 --> 00:28:09,200 under and over and under with the sides. That's what I'll do just like that with 375 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,720 sticks and vines where it'll actually contain fish or whatever. 376 00:28:21,980 --> 00:28:27,680 First couple of weeks after I got here, it was all I could do to just, you know, 377 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:31,400 just focus on the basics and constantly reassess. 378 00:28:33,120 --> 00:28:36,880 And now I just feel like I've come to a place where it's just life. You know, 379 00:28:36,900 --> 00:28:37,900 I'm just doing it. 380 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:40,660 Just doing what I have to do to live out here. 381 00:28:44,540 --> 00:28:46,220 Definitely turning more spiritual. 382 00:28:47,110 --> 00:28:51,050 My focus is not so much on the water and the shelter and the fire and the food, 383 00:28:51,090 --> 00:28:52,490 because I know I have those things. 384 00:28:53,930 --> 00:28:57,250 You know, it's becoming more inward looking. 385 00:29:00,770 --> 00:29:07,170 And it's pretty powerful, pretty deep, and it's hard to put into words, too. 386 00:29:13,070 --> 00:29:17,020 Whenever my journey ends, And I don't even know when that's going to be. 387 00:29:18,740 --> 00:29:25,500 I've done, you know, what I came here to do as far as, you 388 00:29:25,500 --> 00:29:28,640 know, there's no doubt in my mind I can survive here. 389 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:35,300 There'll be a winner, you know, somebody who stays the longest. But I don't feel 390 00:29:35,300 --> 00:29:36,960 like I'm competing against the other guys. 391 00:29:37,740 --> 00:29:40,660 I think we're all competing against ourself. 392 00:29:41,820 --> 00:29:45,140 Winning. It's defined differently for each of us out here. 393 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:53,840 I think that victory for me would be leaving here at peace with 394 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,340 myself. And I don't know what that is yet. 395 00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:01,060 There have been some awakenings and spiritual things that have happened. 396 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:04,780 Sometimes you don't always like what you see. 397 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,780 Sometimes you become aware that maybe you need to change some things. 398 00:30:17,420 --> 00:30:20,580 Like every other person out there that's honest with themselves, I have my 399 00:30:20,580 --> 00:30:21,580 regrets. 400 00:30:22,060 --> 00:30:23,200 I've made my mistakes. 401 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:30,660 And some of them are very painful, very hard to look at, very hard to relive. 402 00:30:32,220 --> 00:30:36,180 But when you come out here in the wild, you have no choice. They will come 403 00:30:36,180 --> 00:30:37,360 bubbling up to the surface. 404 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:42,340 There's no suppressing them. They will come to the fore, and you have to meet 405 00:30:42,340 --> 00:30:43,760 them. You have to own them. 406 00:30:50,540 --> 00:30:55,540 My relationship with my son is one of my things I wish I could better. 407 00:30:56,340 --> 00:30:58,020 And time's not over with. 408 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:00,720 God's still merciful. Things might change. 409 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:05,340 I'd like to have more involvement and time with him. And I've tried a lot, but 410 00:31:05,340 --> 00:31:08,360 can only do so much from one end, you know. 411 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:10,700 People make mistakes. 412 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:21,560 I think we're good. 413 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:25,940 I mean, I look at this thing, and I really don't see anything escaping out 414 00:31:25,940 --> 00:31:28,540 of here that would matter. That thing is pretty solid. 415 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,800 You know, it's got some holes, but it's all small. 416 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:39,000 And anything that would get through these openings, you know, it's the kind 417 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:43,240 of stuff that I'm already getting in my little trap, so no loss, really. And I 418 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:48,320 don't want to trap every little fish out of there. I don't want to do any damage 419 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:49,320 to the... 420 00:31:49,390 --> 00:31:51,290 to the population of anything here. 421 00:31:52,030 --> 00:31:56,730 So this is where we are on the funneling, channeling structure. 422 00:31:57,370 --> 00:32:02,790 I feel like, I mean, yeah, there's a hole or two in there, but I see no 423 00:32:02,790 --> 00:32:04,910 reason why we couldn't go ahead and try this. 424 00:32:05,190 --> 00:32:06,650 Now we've got the cone in. 425 00:32:07,590 --> 00:32:09,190 There it is in all its glory. 426 00:32:14,490 --> 00:32:17,650 We're starting to see results or a lack of results. 427 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:22,040 There will be fish or a lack of fish. 428 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:26,240 Those are the two possible outcomes. So I have a 50-50 shock, which is 429 00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,520 statistically pretty good. 430 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:35,780 One thing you learn when you spend a lot of time with yourself is that no one's 431 00:32:35,780 --> 00:32:37,100 perfect, especially you. 432 00:32:37,420 --> 00:32:42,580 And this is my dead-level best I can do right now with a fish trap. I don't know 433 00:32:42,580 --> 00:32:43,620 what I'm doing with it. 434 00:32:44,300 --> 00:32:45,300 I'm just trying. 435 00:32:46,220 --> 00:32:47,480 That's all you can do is try. 436 00:32:50,580 --> 00:32:51,580 Yeah. 437 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,820 I'm going to take this home with me when it's all over. 438 00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,660 Did you see me showing up at the airline with this? 439 00:33:00,380 --> 00:33:02,700 Put that with my checked luggage, please. Thank you. 440 00:33:03,540 --> 00:33:06,680 I wonder if it's ever happened before, if anybody's ever shown up with a fish 441 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:07,680 trap. 442 00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:10,220 Put your little name tag on it. 443 00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:12,300 I'm going to do that, or try to. 444 00:33:38,090 --> 00:33:42,170 The sun is trying to peek through, actually, a little bit. So I've taken 445 00:33:42,170 --> 00:33:46,950 off a couple layers and I'm going to check out the fish basket that I put out 446 00:33:46,950 --> 00:33:47,950 yesterday. 447 00:33:48,170 --> 00:33:49,450 I've never trapped fish. 448 00:33:51,330 --> 00:33:54,630 So netting them and trapping them is all calculated guesses. 449 00:33:57,750 --> 00:34:00,550 I'm doing this with a view toward food. 450 00:34:02,090 --> 00:34:04,030 More food, different food, variety. 451 00:34:05,430 --> 00:34:06,590 Take what I can get. 452 00:34:08,429 --> 00:34:09,670 Some better than none. 453 00:34:12,830 --> 00:34:18,130 And... Day 454 00:34:18,130 --> 00:34:24,989 one on 455 00:34:24,989 --> 00:34:27,570 the fish basket is a strike. No joy. 456 00:34:29,250 --> 00:34:31,989 No joy on the fish basket. 457 00:34:32,949 --> 00:34:36,630 You know, I've had successes and failures with the gill net. It's been on 458 00:34:36,630 --> 00:34:37,630 and off. 459 00:34:40,659 --> 00:34:44,780 So you can't just, you know, on day one go, well, there's nothing in there. It's 460 00:34:44,780 --> 00:34:45,780 a wrap. 461 00:34:46,219 --> 00:34:49,699 And I've got to give it time. I'm going to give it a week and see if there's any 462 00:34:49,699 --> 00:34:53,100 traffic at all. Let that bait in there get real funky and rotten a little bit. 463 00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,540 Let the smell dissipate. 464 00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,820 And then, if nothing, I'll shoot for deeper water, you know. 465 00:35:02,180 --> 00:35:06,930 I think the biggest thing that I took away from making this thing, was the 466 00:35:06,930 --> 00:35:12,070 realization that I'm a lot stronger than I give myself credit for. 467 00:35:12,410 --> 00:35:17,630 And I think when you do think you've hit a wall or found a limit, it's usually 468 00:35:17,630 --> 00:35:21,290 just a mental one. So you just examine it, dismiss it, and step over it and go 469 00:35:21,290 --> 00:35:23,990 to the next one. And you just keep doing that over and over. 470 00:35:24,290 --> 00:35:26,430 And there's probably even no such thing as limits. 471 00:35:29,510 --> 00:35:31,690 Oh, madness. 472 00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,740 Lots of work went into this. 473 00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,220 None of the traps were triggered last night. 474 00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,740 Maybe it was just because it was so freaking cold. 475 00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:02,420 It's got a bunch of frost all over everything, including the traps. 476 00:36:05,620 --> 00:36:08,200 Blanketed. Everything's blanketed with frost. 477 00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:09,680 Frost is everywhere. 478 00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:11,560 It's cold. 479 00:36:14,940 --> 00:36:19,260 Nothing positive to report right now at all. 480 00:36:21,720 --> 00:36:23,820 Nothing positive to report. 481 00:36:24,300 --> 00:36:28,500 I mean, other than making it another day. 482 00:36:30,250 --> 00:36:32,250 It just gets depressing after a while. 483 00:36:32,510 --> 00:36:36,790 You think you found something that's working really well, and then it fails. 484 00:36:37,910 --> 00:36:42,970 It's almost like there's no sure way of doing anything out here. 485 00:36:44,330 --> 00:36:50,590 I guess such a big part of survival is luck to an extent. It has a lot to do 486 00:36:50,590 --> 00:36:55,910 with your skills, but then there's a big luck factor involved, and I've got to be 487 00:36:55,910 --> 00:36:58,090 the least lucky person on the planet. 488 00:37:00,230 --> 00:37:01,870 At least in regards to survival. 489 00:37:04,750 --> 00:37:07,430 Anyway, sorry for depressing you. 490 00:37:12,910 --> 00:37:18,730 The more I stay out here, the more the urgency for food kind of increases. 491 00:37:19,450 --> 00:37:24,370 I'm not used to feeling this way. I'm not used to feeling this helpless. 492 00:37:24,790 --> 00:37:28,170 There's nothing I can really do right now for myself. 493 00:37:29,180 --> 00:37:32,340 There's literally no other way to get food out here. There are no wild edibles 494 00:37:32,340 --> 00:37:36,200 out right now. I have no access to any good place to fish at the moment. 495 00:37:36,980 --> 00:37:39,280 I've never, ever been so hungry in my life. 496 00:37:40,020 --> 00:37:41,020 Never. 497 00:37:42,980 --> 00:37:44,500 I'm definitely losing it. 498 00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:47,460 Not good mentally. 499 00:37:48,420 --> 00:37:50,560 I am not good in the head right now. 500 00:38:14,060 --> 00:38:15,720 Morning of day 32. 501 00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:18,660 Another hungry, hungry night. 502 00:38:19,580 --> 00:38:20,880 Pretty hungry. 503 00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:23,500 We're going to go check the traps. 504 00:38:24,260 --> 00:38:27,040 Hopefully we can find a mouse or something in there. 505 00:38:28,580 --> 00:38:31,340 It's freezing cold, so we'll have to do this quick. 506 00:38:31,980 --> 00:38:36,000 Looking around at the traps, I can see that only one of them was triggered. 507 00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,260 But this one. 508 00:38:43,500 --> 00:38:48,780 is the one that was triggered. And if we look at it ever so closely, that looks 509 00:38:48,780 --> 00:38:49,780 like a tail. 510 00:38:50,660 --> 00:38:53,920 Five, four, three, two, one. 511 00:38:56,260 --> 00:38:57,260 Whammo! 512 00:38:58,980 --> 00:39:00,980 Mouthy beast coming right up. 513 00:39:03,260 --> 00:39:09,020 A skinning and gutting mite is not a task for the faint of heart. 514 00:39:09,580 --> 00:39:13,160 Kind of nice, the big fat one too. This guy's got a lot of meat on him. 515 00:39:13,900 --> 00:39:17,900 I freaking hate mice though. I like how they taste, but I hate the animals. 516 00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:21,240 Now comes the hard part. 517 00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:24,400 Gutting the beast. 518 00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:29,060 Because I don't want to pierce any of those gross internal things. 519 00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:31,480 I don't want to taint the meat. 520 00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:35,640 It's hard with these big old gloves on to actually get down in there. 521 00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:38,520 But I'm just not tough enough to do it without gloves yet. 522 00:39:39,500 --> 00:39:43,720 When it's all said and done, see that little guy? 523 00:39:44,420 --> 00:39:45,740 Hardly even looks like a mouse. 524 00:39:46,180 --> 00:39:48,560 Just a delicious piece of meat. 525 00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:59,520 We had a few minutes. We'll be good to go. Cooking on the shelter can be really 526 00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:00,520 frustrating. 527 00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:04,540 Smoke gets all in your eyes, and you're like, ah, gross. 528 00:40:06,700 --> 00:40:08,200 Let's see how this mousey's doing. 529 00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:17,840 And the mouse is done. 530 00:40:19,380 --> 00:40:20,380 Let's eat him. 531 00:40:23,420 --> 00:40:25,000 It looks so glorious. 532 00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:26,680 Cooked to perfection. 533 00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:37,060 You eat the mouse all day.

It tastes good. 536 00:40:42,819 --> 00:40:43,819 It tastes like goo. 537 00:40:46,860 --> 00:40:47,860 Mmm. 538 00:40:50,380 --> 00:40:51,380 Dang. 539 00:40:57,820 --> 00:40:59,160 Super skinny now. 540 00:41:01,140 --> 00:41:02,380 Which is a good thing, I guess. 541 00:41:05,020 --> 00:41:06,420 At least my wife will be happy. 542 00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:19,280 Realizing that maybe my camp isn't in the best spot. Food isn't close. 543 00:41:19,740 --> 00:41:23,060 So I'm going to move a camp. But I don't have a roof over my head tonight. 544 00:41:23,300 --> 00:41:24,300 It's so cold. 545 00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:26,820 This environment is so brutal. 546 00:41:27,100 --> 00:41:28,400 And it's just ice cold. 547 00:41:28,740 --> 00:41:30,680 My whole plan has gone out the window. 548 00:41:31,340 --> 00:41:36,220 Started losing it. I've been out here for so long and I'm so sick of it. At 549 00:41:36,220 --> 00:41:37,460 this point, I just want to go home. 550 00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:40,480 It is frigid. It's the coldest it's been. 551 00:41:40,740 --> 00:41:43,100 I'm really thinking to myself, what are you doing here? 552 00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:44,320 I'm so over it.
