1
00:00:10,677 --> 00:00:12,411
I'm slowly dying.

2
00:00:12,412 --> 00:00:14,547
How far can it go?

3
00:00:16,650 --> 00:00:19,285
Oh, my God,
I got my chance.

4
00:00:21,588 --> 00:00:22,789
<i>The "Alone"
World Championship. </i>

5
00:00:24,224 --> 00:00:25,291
Doesn't get any better.

6
00:00:25,292 --> 00:00:26,660
Got him.

7
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:27,760
<i>Going up against
some of the world's </i>

8
00:00:27,761 --> 00:00:29,263
<i>best bushcrafters. </i>

9
00:00:29,363 --> 00:00:30,863
"Fy-yah"!

10
00:00:30,864 --> 00:00:32,633
This ain't a beauty pageant.

11
00:00:32,732 --> 00:00:34,033
This is a survival challenge.

12
00:00:34,034 --> 00:00:36,102
<i>It takes
a little bit of insanity </i>

13
00:00:36,103 --> 00:00:38,104
<i>to want to stay
out here alone. </i>

14
00:00:38,105 --> 00:00:39,672
Ah! Bear.

15
00:00:39,673 --> 00:00:40,840
Hee-ooh!

16
00:00:40,841 --> 00:00:42,241
But I think I might have

17
00:00:42,242 --> 00:00:43,609
that little bit of insanity.

18
00:00:45,646 --> 00:00:46,679
<i>We are in
one of the most harsh </i>

19
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:48,981
<i>environments on the planet. </i>

20
00:00:48,982 --> 00:00:50,683
<i>The Beaufort Delta
in the shadow </i>

21
00:00:50,684 --> 00:00:51,984
<i>of the Richardson Mountains. </i>

22
00:00:51,985 --> 00:00:54,220
Yeah!

23
00:00:54,221 --> 00:00:57,156
<i>It's 125 miles
into the Arctic Circle. </i>

24
00:00:57,157 --> 00:01:00,426
<i>I'm so far away from
the place I belong to. </i>

25
00:01:00,427 --> 00:01:01,694
Ooh!

26
00:01:01,695 --> 00:01:03,763
<i>There's gonna be
a bitch slap of reality. </i>

27
00:01:03,764 --> 00:01:05,831
Place is brutal.

28
00:01:05,832 --> 00:01:08,701
<i>Being alone
out here, it changes you. </i>

29
00:01:08,702 --> 00:01:11,104
<i>You do lose your mind,
but maybe you find </i>

30
00:01:11,204 --> 00:01:12,105
<i>some of your soul as well. </i>

31
00:01:12,205 --> 00:01:13,739
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

32
00:01:13,740 --> 00:01:16,442
<i>What a day to be alive. </i>

33
00:02:38,225 --> 00:02:41,628
<i>This is the first
"Alone" World Championship. </i>

34
00:02:41,728 --> 00:02:44,030
<i>Ten participants
from different </i>

35

<i>countries and cultures. </i>

36
00:02:46,733 --> 00:02:48,467
<i>It's really something amazing. </i>

37
00:02:48,468 --> 00:02:51,637
Whoo-hoo!

38
00:02:51,638 --> 00:02:52,906
Oh, man.

39
00:02:53,006 --> 00:02:55,875
I'm literally launching
myself into an experience

40
00:02:55,876 --> 00:02:57,443
to see what I'm made of
in a world

41
00:02:57,444 --> 00:02:59,245
that I don't know much about.

42
00:02:59,246 --> 00:03:01,415
<i>We are walking
into an environment </i>

43
00:03:01,515 --> 00:03:03,983
<i>that most people
will never witness. </i>

44
00:03:03,984 --> 00:03:05,451
Holy .

45
00:03:05,452 --> 00:03:06,752
This is happening.

46
00:03:06,753 --> 00:03:08,154
This is really happening.

47
00:03:08,155 --> 00:03:10,022
<i>There are not many people
on the planet </i>

48
00:03:10,023 --> 00:03:11,991
<i>who would even attempt
this experience. </i>

49
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,228
<i>We are 125 miles
into the Arctic Circle. </i>

50
00:03:16,229 --> 00:03:18,464
<i>The thick snow,
the cold weather, </i>

51
00:03:18,465 --> 00:03:22,034
<i>and the extreme winds are
coming, and it's coming quick. </i>

52
00:03:22,035 --> 00:03:24,070
This is insane.

53
00:03:24,071 --> 00:03:26,639
What the hell have I done?

54
00:03:28,008 --> 00:03:29,742
<i>The Arctic
is a beautiful place, </i>

55
00:03:29,743 --> 00:03:32,078
<i>but the Arctic is
a freezing cold desert. </i>

56
00:03:32,079 --> 00:03:34,080
<i>There are not a lot
of resources up here. </i>

57
00:03:34,081 --> 00:03:36,949
<i>If that moose walks by you
or that 30-pound pike </i>

58
00:03:36,950 --> 00:03:38,617
<i>hits your line,
you better get it, </i>

59
00:03:38,618 --> 00:03:40,319
<i>'cause that might be
the only shot that you have. </i>

60
00:03:41,855 --> 00:03:43,856
<i>Predators would
be a massive problem-- </i>

61
00:03:43,857 --> 00:03:45,592
<i>packs of wolves
moving through, </i>

62
00:03:45,692 --> 00:03:47,661
<i>caribou and moose, wolverines. </i>

63
00:03:47,761 --> 00:03:50,896
<i>But my biggest worry is
definitely grizzly bears. </i>

64
00:03:50,897 --> 00:03:54,633
<i>40,000 to 50,000 grizzly bears
make this place their home. </i>

65
00:03:54,634 --> 00:03:57,036
<i>I don't know
what will be my reaction </i>

66
00:03:57,037 --> 00:04:00,639
<i>when I come face-to-face
with predators. </i>

67
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,477
<i>I am meat for them,
but they are meat for me too. </i>

68
00:04:04,478 --> 00:04:07,913
<i>So I have to do
what I need to do to survive. </i>

69
00:04:07,914 --> 00:04:09,548
<i>The biggest
struggle is gonna be, </i>

70
00:04:09,549 --> 00:04:12,551
<i>what happens to people when
they are completely isolated </i>

71
00:04:12,552 --> 00:04:14,454
<i>and all they have
is themselves? </i>

72
00:04:14,554 --> 00:04:16,956
<i>The raw you is what
you're gonna face out there, </i>

73
00:04:16,957 --> 00:04:18,791
<i>and you better be
prepared for it. </i>

74
00:04:18,892 --> 00:04:21,393
All alone.

75
00:04:21,394 --> 00:04:24,430
It feels good.

76
00:04:24,431 --> 00:04:27,100
<i>$500,000
is life-changing money. </i>

77
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,001
<i>To be the last one standing
is gonna take </i>

78
00:04:29,002 --> 00:04:30,636
<i>everything that I have. </i>

79
00:04:30,637 --> 00:04:33,740
<i>Being in the World
Championship of "Alone" </i>

80
00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:35,142
<i>is intense. </i>

81
00:04:35,242 --> 00:04:37,344
<i>I'm honored to be here,
competing against </i>

82
00:04:37,444 --> 00:04:38,979
<i>some really tough competition. </i>

83
00:04:39,079 --> 00:04:40,880
<i>If you're gonna stick around,
you're gonna have to be </i>

84
00:04:40,881 --> 00:04:42,681
<i>a tough,
gritty son of a bitch. </i>

85
00:04:44,684 --> 00:04:46,786
Time to get to work.

86
00:05:07,674 --> 00:05:14,014
Well, things just got
real quiet really, really fast.

87
00:05:15,849 --> 00:05:18,284
Oh, my God.

88
00:05:18,285 --> 00:05:22,588
This is home.

89
00:05:25,926 --> 00:05:27,560
All right,
I'm gonna collect myself.

90
00:05:27,561 --> 00:05:31,931
First thing I do--first thing
I gotta do, temporary shelter.

91
00:05:31,932 --> 00:05:34,834
Okay, here we go.

92
00:05:40,974 --> 00:05:45,678
Well, we know not to put our
shelter anywhere in here.

93
00:05:45,679 --> 00:05:46,779
It's pretty boggy.

94
00:05:50,083 --> 00:05:54,153
Oh, hello.

95
00:05:54,154 --> 00:05:57,224
<i>Wherever I go,
no matter if it's </i>

96
00:05:57,324 --> 00:05:59,925
<i>an inner city, a suburb,
or a new environment, </i>

97
00:05:59,926 --> 00:06:03,362
<i>I'm always looking
at the plants. </i>

98
00:06:03,363 --> 00:06:04,763
Wow.

99
00:06:07,133 --> 00:06:10,303
Oh, wow. This is really good.

100
00:06:10,403 --> 00:06:13,005
<i>I think there's a lot more
out there than we realize, </i>

101
00:06:13,006 --> 00:06:15,040
<i>in terms of the plants. </i>

102
00:06:15,041 --> 00:06:20,980
You know, the terrain,
so far, it's a bit rough,

103
00:06:20,981 --> 00:06:24,550
but...

104
00:06:24,551 --> 00:06:26,719
there's a lot
of resources here.

105
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:27,987
<i>There is food out there. </i>

106
00:06:27,988 --> 00:06:29,455
<i>There's a lot of
minerals out there. </i>

107
00:06:29,456 --> 00:06:31,123
<i>There's a lot of vitamins
out there. </i>

108
00:06:31,124 --> 00:06:34,560
<i>There's a lot out there
that's gonna help us. </i>

109
00:06:34,561 --> 00:06:36,395
<i>Finding it might not be easy, </i>

110
00:06:36,396 --> 00:06:39,265
<i>but it doesn't mean
it's not abundant. </i>

111
00:06:39,266 --> 00:06:41,902
Oh, wow. Okay.

112
00:06:42,002 --> 00:06:45,838
So we've got some
clubmoss right here.

113
00:06:48,241 --> 00:06:53,913
I think for tonight, we are
going to sleep in the moss.

114
00:06:53,914 --> 00:06:57,082
<i>It kind of feels like
home in a weird way. </i>

115
00:06:57,083 --> 00:06:59,586
And I'm recording. Ah.

116
00:06:59,686 --> 00:07:00,953
Why do I keep doing that?

117
00:07:00,954 --> 00:07:04,023
Oh, hello out there.

118
00:07:04,024 --> 00:07:05,724
<i>I've been living in a van
for three years. </i>

119
00:07:05,725 --> 00:07:07,726
This is my home.

120
00:07:07,727 --> 00:07:09,728
I'll give you a tour
on the inside.

121
00:07:09,729 --> 00:07:12,431
<i>I travel all throughout
the continental United States, </i>

122
00:07:12,432 --> 00:07:15,000
<i>so I currently
don't have roots. </i>

123
00:07:15,001 --> 00:07:17,836
<i>I was a video editor for a
lot of television commercials, </i>

124
00:07:17,837 --> 00:07:19,071
<i>branded content. </i>

125
00:07:19,072 --> 00:07:21,507
<i>I love
the storytelling aspect, </i>

126
00:07:21,508 --> 00:07:24,877
<i>but my job was sort of
forcing me to be a person </i>

127
00:07:24,878 --> 00:07:26,745
<i>that I didn't
wanna be anymore. </i>

128
00:07:26,746 --> 00:07:29,081
<i>It was just
this constant chase </i>

129
00:07:29,082 --> 00:07:31,183
<i>of thoughts and anxieties, </i>

130
00:07:31,184 --> 00:07:34,386
<i>and I would find myself
going outdoors </i>

131
00:07:34,387 --> 00:07:36,555
<i>because it just brought me
so much more joy. </i>

132
00:07:36,556 --> 00:07:38,791
Okay, so first of all,
you have a ton of goldenrod.

133
00:07:38,792 --> 00:07:41,895
<i>Then, when I understood
what ethnobotany was-- </i>

134
00:07:41,995 --> 00:07:43,395
<i>ethnobotany is the relationship </i>

135
00:07:43,396 --> 00:07:44,763
<i>between plants and people. </i>

136
00:07:44,764 --> 00:07:46,432
<i>It's medicine. Is it edible? </i>

137
00:07:46,433 --> 00:07:47,866
<i>Does it aid in fire? </i>

138
00:07:47,867 --> 00:07:49,234
<i>That's when
I started to dedicate </i>

139
00:07:49,235 --> 00:07:50,402
<i>my life to the outdoors. </i>

140
00:07:50,403 --> 00:07:52,771
Okay.

141
00:07:52,772 --> 00:07:56,875
<i>Right now, I'm the founder
of Wildcard Wilderness, </i>

142
00:07:56,876 --> 00:07:59,511
<i>and I teach wilderness skills
all across the country. </i>

143
00:07:59,512 --> 00:08:00,913
I'm not even doing anything.

144
00:08:00,914 --> 00:08:02,581
The wind is just
doing the work for me.

145
00:08:02,582 --> 00:08:04,818
<i>There are people
in this competition who, </i>

146
00:08:04,918 --> 00:08:08,588
<i>hands down, you know that
their number one is hunting, </i>

147
00:08:08,688 --> 00:08:09,888
<i>and that's not me. </i>

148
00:08:09,889 --> 00:08:11,024
<i>I'm a tool maker. </i>

149
00:08:11,124 --> 00:08:13,025
<i>I am your backyard engineer </i>

150
00:08:13,026 --> 00:08:15,694
<i>that is going to find a way
to solve a problem </i>

151
00:08:15,695 --> 00:08:19,198
<i>with some sticks and some
cordage and some pitch glue. </i>

152
00:08:19,199 --> 00:08:21,533
Oh, you did it! Good job!
- Yeah!

153
00:08:21,534 --> 00:08:23,902
<i>The end goal
is to be courageous. </i>

154
00:08:23,903 --> 00:08:27,140
<i>And I think that it will also
really benefit my school. </i>

155
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:28,941
<i>I think my school
is at this point </i>

156
00:08:28,942 --> 00:08:32,811
<i>where the only way for it to
grow is if I had my own land. </i>

157
00:08:32,812 --> 00:08:35,346
<i>$1/2 million
would change my life. </i>

158
00:08:37,517 --> 00:08:43,755
Well, welcome to...

159
00:08:47,127 --> 00:08:49,795
My kingdom for the evening.

160
00:08:49,796 --> 00:08:54,400
It's essentially just
a tarp on a pile of moss.

161
00:08:54,401 --> 00:08:57,070
And I'm okay with that.

162
00:09:00,206 --> 00:09:05,277
Survival isn't always
meant to be pretty.

163
00:09:05,278 --> 00:09:07,947
I just still can't believe
that I'm here.

164
00:09:14,220 --> 00:09:16,523
You know, five years ago
today...

165
00:09:21,961 --> 00:09:24,230
I lost so much.

166
00:09:27,834 --> 00:09:32,604
Five years ago today
was the day I lost my mom.

167
00:09:36,509 --> 00:09:38,477
You know, I lost everything.

168
00:09:40,780 --> 00:09:43,315
It was one of
the darkest times of my life.

169
00:09:45,285 --> 00:09:49,888
But my mom gave me
a reset button.

170
00:09:49,889 --> 00:09:53,392
So instead of building my life
to the life that I had,

171
00:09:53,393 --> 00:09:56,128
I decided to rebuild it
to the life that I wanted

172
00:09:56,129 --> 00:10:00,399
and one that catered
towards the outdoors.

173
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,802
My mom gave me
the best gift ever.

174
00:10:03,803 --> 00:10:06,071
But I know she's out there.

175
00:10:06,072 --> 00:10:08,707
And I know she's cheering me
on, and I know she's with me.

176
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,335
You know,
I need the camera gear

177
00:10:35,435 --> 00:10:37,137
to film me getting
the camera gear.

178
00:10:40,206 --> 00:10:42,341
There we go.

179
00:10:42,342 --> 00:10:43,776
That's something.

180
00:10:52,051 --> 00:10:55,954
Now we need, like, a caption
at the bottom of this, being,

181
00:10:55,955 --> 00:10:59,124
"Alone" participants receive
up to X amount of pounds

182
00:10:59,125 --> 00:11:01,628
of camera gear
to film their experience.

183
00:11:01,728 --> 00:11:04,796
Here we go.

184
00:11:04,797 --> 00:11:06,432
I got my tripod.

185
00:11:06,533 --> 00:11:10,469
I do like the ease
of this chest mount.

186
00:11:10,470 --> 00:11:11,704
It's true.

187
00:11:11,804 --> 00:11:16,642
We really are alone,
filming all this stuff.

188
00:11:16,643 --> 00:11:20,412
Part survivalist, part...

189
00:11:20,413 --> 00:11:23,682
documentarian, filmmaker...

190
00:11:25,885 --> 00:11:30,990
Part bat- crazy.

191
00:11:31,090 --> 00:11:33,326
Video. Rolling, rolling.

192
00:11:35,461 --> 00:11:37,029
<i>My name is Nero. </i>

193
00:11:37,030 --> 00:11:40,199
<i>I live in New South Wales
in Australia. </i>

194
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,801
<i>My wife and I have our own
outdoor education company. </i>

195
00:11:42,802 --> 00:11:44,169
Got my little pack mule here.

196
00:11:45,905 --> 00:11:48,273
<i>My whole entire idea is
trying to get people outside, </i>

197
00:11:48,274 --> 00:11:49,541
<i>reconnecting with nature. </i>

198
00:11:49,542 --> 00:11:51,076
Such a beautiful spot.

199
00:11:51,077 --> 00:11:53,879
<i>I spent time in the military,
but it wasn't till </i>

200
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,582
<i>I came to the outdoors
in bushcraft, </i>

201
00:11:56,583 --> 00:11:58,951
<i>I started to realize
this is my place. </i>

202
00:11:58,952 --> 00:12:01,454
<i>This is what I've been
looking for all this time. </i>

203
00:12:01,554 --> 00:12:04,323
<i>Very confident in
my fishing ability, </i>

204
00:12:04,324 --> 00:12:06,525
<i>understanding where
fish wanna feed, </i>

205
00:12:06,526 --> 00:12:07,593
<i>where they like to travel. </i>

206
00:12:07,594 --> 00:12:08,994
There's dinner.

207
00:12:08,995 --> 00:12:11,330
<i>I can shoot my bow,
and I can shoot it well, </i>

208
00:12:11,331 --> 00:12:13,232
<i>but I'm not a big-game hunter. </i>

209
00:12:13,233 --> 00:12:16,268
<i>In Australia, I've only
hunted goat and small game. </i>

210
00:12:16,269 --> 00:12:18,003
Look at our beautiful goat.

211
00:12:18,004 --> 00:12:20,439
<i>I've spent the last
two winters in Canada, </i>

212
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,140
<i>doing snowshoe expeditions </i>

213
00:12:22,141 --> 00:12:24,577
<i>with Kie from
Lure of the North. </i>

214
00:12:24,677 --> 00:12:28,714
<i>Kie was on "Alone" season 7,
made it 80 days. </i>

215
00:12:28,715 --> 00:12:31,483
<i>She's inspired me
in so many ways. </i>

216
00:12:31,484 --> 00:12:33,719
<i>I've experienced minus 30. </i>

217
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,621
<i>I've spent a long time
pushing through </i>

218
00:12:35,622 --> 00:12:37,155
<i>uncomfortable situations. </i>

219
00:12:37,156 --> 00:12:39,124
Trick is,
focus on your breathing

220
00:12:39,125 --> 00:12:41,026
and try not to squeal.

221
00:12:41,027 --> 00:12:42,427
Whoo!

222
00:12:42,428 --> 00:12:44,596
<i>I know all the strategies
and the tactics </i>

223
00:12:44,597 --> 00:12:47,232
<i>that will keep me safe
and keep me warm. </i>

224
00:12:47,233 --> 00:12:50,402
All cozied up in the quinzhee.

225
00:12:50,403 --> 00:12:51,436
<i>I've got an
incredibly supportive </i>

226
00:12:51,437 --> 00:12:53,338
<i>wife and son behind me. </i>

227
00:12:53,339 --> 00:12:56,241
<i>I'll miss them a lot,
but I've spent </i>

228
00:12:56,242 --> 00:13:00,279
<i>enough time away to know that
I will be stronger for that. </i>

229
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:01,581
Nice.

230
00:13:01,681 --> 00:13:04,116
<i>I find it to be
a great honor to be </i>

231
00:13:04,117 --> 00:13:07,085
<i>ambassador for the
Australian outdoor community. </i>

232
00:13:07,086 --> 00:13:08,553
Whoo!

233
00:13:08,554 --> 00:13:10,389
<i>I've got the skills.
I've got the experience. </i>

234
00:13:10,390 --> 00:13:12,859
<i>Whatever happens out there,
I'm gonna be better for it, </i>

235
00:13:12,959 --> 00:13:14,626
<i>and I'm gonna
come away a winner. </i>

236
00:13:16,763 --> 00:13:18,163
I'm just gonna have
a little bit of a look around,

237
00:13:18,164 --> 00:13:20,866
just this initial spot
to see whether there's

238
00:13:20,867 --> 00:13:24,936
something suitable
for a temporary shelter.

239
00:13:26,706 --> 00:13:29,641
Just trying to get
a flattish area

240
00:13:29,642 --> 00:13:32,277
that doesn't really
require much to clear.

241
00:13:32,278 --> 00:13:33,845
<i>When I'm thinking
about shelter, </i>

242
00:13:33,846 --> 00:13:35,381
<i>I'm thinking about
the five Ws. </i>

243
00:13:35,481 --> 00:13:39,584
<i>It's, like, wood, water, wind,
wildlife, and widow-makers. </i>

244
00:13:39,585 --> 00:13:42,621
Now, I don't wanna commit
to a permanent shelter

245
00:13:42,622 --> 00:13:46,058
until I've scoped out
all of my land.

246
00:13:46,059 --> 00:13:49,062
<i>Some people argue there's
two more, whiskey and women, </i>

247
00:13:49,162 --> 00:13:53,598
<i>but I haven't really
gotta worry about that. </i>

248
00:13:53,599 --> 00:13:56,802
There's a bit
of a clear spot here.

249
00:13:56,803 --> 00:13:58,804
I like it.

250
00:13:58,805 --> 00:14:00,439
Okay.

251
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:04,676
<i>My biggest concern is just
trying to do too much too fast </i>

252
00:14:04,677 --> 00:14:07,646
<i>and either making mistakes or
just burning through calories. </i>

253
00:14:07,647 --> 00:14:10,382
<i>So I'm really mindful
of just slowing down, </i>

254
00:14:10,383 --> 00:14:12,351
<i>trying to get established
and go from there. </i>

255
00:14:15,588 --> 00:14:17,556
<i>So for my temporary shelter,
I'm just gonna </i>

256
00:14:17,557 --> 00:14:21,393
<i>stick to a basic A-frame. </i>

257
00:14:21,394 --> 00:14:24,029
<i>I'm gonna set up the ridgeline
with my paracord </i>

258
00:14:24,030 --> 00:14:27,733
<i>between two trees
and then hang my tarp over it. </i>

259
00:14:27,734 --> 00:14:30,202
<i>I want it raised as well
so I can kind of look out </i>

260
00:14:30,203 --> 00:14:32,471
<i>and see around
my surroundings. </i>

261
00:14:35,975 --> 00:14:38,543
<i>People are gonna see
an Australian on "Alone" </i>

262
00:14:38,544 --> 00:14:40,645
<i>in the Arctic, and they're
just gonna be like, </i>

263
00:14:40,646 --> 00:14:44,449
<i>you're not gonna last because
of how cold this place gets. </i>

264
00:14:44,450 --> 00:14:46,084
<i>I'm thriving on that. </i>

265
00:14:46,085 --> 00:14:48,653
<i>I'm looking forward
to surprising people. </i>

266
00:14:54,427 --> 00:14:55,994
Looking pretty good.

267
00:14:57,997 --> 00:14:59,164
Here we are.

268
00:14:59,165 --> 00:15:01,633
It's my shelter,
so I'm standing up.

269
00:15:01,634 --> 00:15:03,668
A good bit of clearance.

270
00:15:03,669 --> 00:15:06,071
Then I can sit down,

271
00:15:06,072 --> 00:15:08,807
and I'm protected
from the rain,

272
00:15:08,808 --> 00:15:12,677
and I can see all around me.

273
00:15:12,678 --> 00:15:14,212
It feels pretty good here.

274
00:15:14,213 --> 00:15:16,715
Just getting established.

275
00:15:16,716 --> 00:15:18,316
Go from there.

276
00:15:18,317 --> 00:15:19,985
Little baby steps.

277
00:15:36,235 --> 00:15:39,037
Man, this site was made for me.

278
00:15:39,038 --> 00:15:40,872
So much spruce pitch.

279
00:15:40,873 --> 00:15:43,108
I love spruce gum.

280
00:15:43,109 --> 00:15:47,746
Echoes of an old addiction,
I guess, chewing tobacco.

281
00:15:47,747 --> 00:15:50,550
I mean, it's no Copenhagen,
but spruce pitch

282
00:15:50,650 --> 00:15:52,351
is pretty damn good.

283
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,923
I'm gonna be chewing
the out of that stuff.

284
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:02,227
Just gotta figure out
where I'm gonna

285
00:16:02,228 --> 00:16:03,595
set up my tarp for tonight.

286
00:16:06,966 --> 00:16:08,867
<i>The first day,
there's priorities </i>

287
00:16:08,868 --> 00:16:10,802
<i>that need to be met
right away: </i>

288
00:16:10,803 --> 00:16:13,638
<i>a shelter, fire, water. </i>

289
00:16:13,639 --> 00:16:18,109
So that tree and that tree
are gonna host my ridgepole

290
00:16:18,110 --> 00:16:20,879
for this lean-to I'm building.

291
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,149
<i>The weather here is
a force to be reckoned with. </i>

292
00:16:26,452 --> 00:16:27,719
Perfect.

293
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,822
Just wanna clear off
some of this bark.

294
00:16:30,823 --> 00:16:32,757
<i>At this time of year,
hypothermia </i>

295
00:16:32,758 --> 00:16:34,227
<i>is a big concern of mine. </i>

296
00:16:34,327 --> 00:16:37,063
<i>I need to get my tarp up
as soon as possible. </i>

297
00:16:37,163 --> 00:16:38,563
So I've gotta cut notches
on the trees

298
00:16:38,564 --> 00:16:39,998
'cause I don't have paracord,

299
00:16:39,999 --> 00:16:44,469
so I'm not relying on the
tensile strength of snare wire.

300
00:16:44,470 --> 00:16:47,405
<i>And so I'm thinking
of running snare wire </i>

301
00:16:47,406 --> 00:16:50,475
<i>around a couple trees and then
lashing a ridgepole to it </i>

302
00:16:50,476 --> 00:16:52,477
<i>and then just
doing an A-frame. </i>

303
00:16:52,478 --> 00:16:54,346
Just cutting off
a few sections of this

304
00:16:54,347 --> 00:16:56,948
to hold up my ridgepole.

305
00:16:56,949 --> 00:17:00,218
Elsie May, that's what
you did to Daddy's wire.

306
00:17:01,954 --> 00:17:04,990
I love you so much, but this is
a pain in the butt now.

307
00:17:08,761 --> 00:17:12,163
Dada.

308
00:17:12,164 --> 00:17:13,464
What are we doing, Elsie?

309
00:17:13,465 --> 00:17:15,033
I did that.

310
00:17:15,034 --> 00:17:18,036
<i>To come up here,
I left behind my wife, Katie, </i>

311
00:17:18,037 --> 00:17:21,640
<i>and my daughters,
Elsie May and Alice Mary. </i>

312
00:17:21,641 --> 00:17:23,341
- Hello.
- Hum.

313
00:17:23,342 --> 00:17:24,343
A one-and-a-half-year-old

314
00:17:24,443 --> 00:17:26,278
<i>and a three-month-old.
- Oh! </i>

315
00:17:26,279 --> 00:17:28,480
You're scaring away
all the game.

316
00:17:28,481 --> 00:17:29,948
<i>It was a hard decision, </i>

317
00:17:29,949 --> 00:17:32,584
<i>but it's a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity. </i>

318
00:17:34,387 --> 00:17:36,221
Yeah.

319
00:17:36,222 --> 00:17:37,789
Let's go get it.

320
00:17:37,790 --> 00:17:39,391
<i>I've been
a traditional bowhunter </i>

321
00:17:39,392 --> 00:17:41,359
<i>and bowyer
for about ten years. </i>

322
00:17:41,360 --> 00:17:43,028
Looks pretty good.

323
00:17:43,029 --> 00:17:45,831
<i>So I'm very confident
in my ability to hunt. </i>

324
00:17:45,932 --> 00:17:47,232
It's a moose missile.

325
00:17:47,233 --> 00:17:49,467
<i>I've been focusing
more time on fishing </i>

326
00:17:49,468 --> 00:17:51,603
<i>and trapping
for the past few months </i>

327
00:17:51,604 --> 00:17:53,471
<i>to really prepare myself. </i>

328
00:17:53,472 --> 00:17:55,473
<i>And I think
I'm willing to sacrifice </i>

329
00:17:55,474 --> 00:17:57,342
<i>a lot more than most people. </i>

330
00:17:57,343 --> 00:17:59,911
<i>You need to stay disciplined
and have train of thought </i>

331
00:17:59,912 --> 00:18:01,913
<i>and be conscious
of what you're doing. </i>

332
00:18:01,914 --> 00:18:04,950
<i>And being ready for when
the opportunity comes </i>

333
00:18:04,951 --> 00:18:06,885
<i>is paramount. </i>

334
00:18:06,886 --> 00:18:08,920
A nice, clean rabbit.

335
00:18:08,921 --> 00:18:10,355
Eating that guy for dinner.

336
00:18:11,991 --> 00:18:15,094
<i>500 grand would help us
pay off our house. </i>

337
00:18:15,194 --> 00:18:18,163
<i>Not having a mortgage would
be a huge burden lifted, </i>

338
00:18:18,164 --> 00:18:20,765
<i>just in our ability
to take more time off... </i>

339
00:18:20,766 --> 00:18:22,634
I love you guys.

340
00:18:22,635 --> 00:18:25,704
<i>And to be the man that
my family needs me to be </i>

341
00:18:25,705 --> 00:18:28,841
<i>and to be there and to show
love and affection... </i>

342
00:18:30,409 --> 00:18:34,446
<i>And strength and courage
and determination to my kids. </i>

343
00:18:34,447 --> 00:18:37,082
I love you.

344
00:18:37,083 --> 00:18:39,117
Got fire,
got shelter, got water.

345
00:18:39,118 --> 00:18:40,986
It's pretty damn good.

346
00:18:43,322 --> 00:18:45,924
All right, let's go
for a walk and set some snares.

347
00:18:45,925 --> 00:18:48,627
<i>I think I'd be foolish
to think that missing home </i>

348
00:18:48,628 --> 00:18:51,429
<i>would not be on my mind
every single day. </i>

349
00:18:51,430 --> 00:18:53,232
<i>So you gotta
fight through that </i>

350
00:18:53,332 --> 00:18:56,401
<i>and remind myself that this is
a temporary experience, </i>

351
00:18:56,402 --> 00:18:57,870
<i>and as soon as you
give up would be </i>

352
00:18:57,970 --> 00:18:59,804
<i>the second that you regret it. </i>

353
00:19:04,677 --> 00:19:06,712
Oh, .

354
00:19:06,812 --> 00:19:08,513
There's a grouse.

355
00:19:33,005 --> 00:19:34,407
.

356
00:19:36,042 --> 00:19:37,543
Damn it, damn it, damn it.

357
00:19:45,718 --> 00:19:48,987
I missed twice.

358
00:19:48,988 --> 00:19:51,190
.

359
00:19:51,290 --> 00:19:53,626
I had a very easy shot

360
00:19:53,726 --> 00:19:57,796
and a very--
two very bad misses,

361
00:19:57,797 --> 00:19:59,831
so that's on me.

362
00:19:59,832 --> 00:20:01,199
Could be tired.

363
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:05,036
Could be, yeah,
just overwhelmed

364
00:20:05,037 --> 00:20:09,908
with the experience
of what's going on right now.

365
00:20:09,909 --> 00:20:12,545
Probably both,
but I'm not gonna

366
00:20:12,645 --> 00:20:14,145
beat myself up about it
anymore.

367
00:20:14,146 --> 00:20:16,015
I'll look for my arrow
in the morning.

368
00:20:42,942 --> 00:20:48,947
My beautiful
and loving wife told me

369
00:20:48,948 --> 00:20:54,486
that the first night I'm out
here, don't sleep on the ground

370
00:20:54,487 --> 00:20:55,987
and don't get wet.

371
00:20:55,988 --> 00:21:00,925
Make sure you make a temporary
shelter with rain cover.

372
00:21:00,926 --> 00:21:06,231
So here I am,

373
00:21:06,232 --> 00:21:12,237
middle of nowhere,
listening to my wife.

374
00:21:12,238 --> 00:21:14,739
I sure love her.

375
00:21:14,740 --> 00:21:17,642
In Iñupiaq, we like
to thank our animals

376
00:21:17,643 --> 00:21:19,310
for giving themselves to us.

377
00:21:19,311 --> 00:21:22,348
So for this snowshoe hare,
I will say...

378
00:21:24,717 --> 00:21:26,552
<i>My name is
Will Punikerik Longley. </i>

379
00:21:26,652 --> 00:21:29,020
Hey! What are you doing?

380
00:21:29,021 --> 00:21:31,156
<i>Punikerik is my Iñupiaq name. </i>

381
00:21:31,157 --> 00:21:34,192
<i>It was given to me by an elder
when I was three years old. </i>

382
00:21:34,193 --> 00:21:35,261
Beautiful out here.

383
00:21:35,361 --> 00:21:37,996
We got hit good
with fresh apun.

384
00:21:37,997 --> 00:21:39,864
"Apun" is Iñupiaq for "snow."

385
00:21:39,865 --> 00:21:41,866
<i>The Iñupiaq people,
we've been around </i>

386
00:21:41,867 --> 00:21:43,936
<i>for thousands
and thousands of years, </i>

387
00:21:44,036 --> 00:21:49,040
<i>surviving in Arctic climates
of ice and snow and wind. </i>

388
00:21:49,041 --> 00:21:51,876
So our elders say
when we harvest a bear

389
00:21:51,877 --> 00:21:55,713
to cut the bottom of
the tongue out and stick it

390
00:21:55,714 --> 00:21:57,583
in between a piece of willows,

391
00:21:57,683 --> 00:22:00,185
and that releases
the bear's spirit.

392
00:22:00,186 --> 00:22:02,020
<i>Personally, what I wanna take
away from this experience is </i>

393
00:22:02,021 --> 00:22:05,223
<i>I want to relive what
my ancestors lived through. </i>

394
00:22:05,224 --> 00:22:07,325
<i>I wanna experience
what they experienced. </i>

395
00:22:07,326 --> 00:22:11,896
<i>I want to know how it was like
to live off the land. </i>

396
00:22:11,897 --> 00:22:14,632
<i>I know that this experience
is probably </i>

397
00:22:14,633 --> 00:22:16,267
<i>one of the only ways
to do that. </i>

398
00:22:16,268 --> 00:22:17,836
There it is.

399
00:22:17,837 --> 00:22:20,438
<i>And I think with all of
the knowledge and skill set </i>

400
00:22:20,439 --> 00:22:23,074
<i>that my ancestors have
passed down to me, </i>

401
00:22:23,075 --> 00:22:24,910
<i>I definitely feel like
a strong contender. </i>

402
00:22:25,010 --> 00:22:25,945
Look at that guy.

403
00:22:26,045 --> 00:22:27,546
What a giant.

404
00:22:27,646 --> 00:22:29,581
Hi!

405
00:22:29,582 --> 00:22:30,548
Hi.

406
00:22:30,549 --> 00:22:31,749
Hi, girl.

407
00:22:33,319 --> 00:22:35,320
<i>The most difficult
part is going to be </i>

408
00:22:35,321 --> 00:22:36,754
<i>being away from my family. </i>

409
00:22:36,755 --> 00:22:39,023
You guys wanna hold the fish?
- Yeah!

410
00:22:39,024 --> 00:22:40,425
<i>When I think of family,
I think of life. </i>

411
00:22:40,426 --> 00:22:43,228
<i>Family is just something
that I don't think </i>

412
00:22:43,229 --> 00:22:45,964
<i>I could live without, and I
don't see how anybody can. </i>

413
00:22:45,965 --> 00:22:47,198
Bye.

414
00:22:47,199 --> 00:22:48,399
Bye, Daddy.

415
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:49,901
<i>When everything's
said and done, </i>

416
00:22:49,902 --> 00:22:52,503
<i>I wanna feel like
I represented my people well </i>

417
00:22:52,504 --> 00:22:54,105
<i>and made them proud. </i>

418
00:22:54,106 --> 00:22:57,709
<i>And I think by winning,
I can show that our culture </i>

419
00:22:57,710 --> 00:23:00,078
<i>has won
for thousands of years. </i>

420
00:23:05,084 --> 00:23:08,720
Feel like I'm gonna sleep good.

421
00:23:08,721 --> 00:23:09,721
All right.

422
00:23:09,722 --> 00:23:13,758
I better find my headlamp.

423
00:23:13,759 --> 00:23:16,861
And we're gonna
call that a night.

424
00:23:26,538 --> 00:23:28,806
<i>Well, uvlaalluataq. </i>

425
00:23:28,807 --> 00:23:30,675
<i>First night down. </i>

426
00:23:30,676 --> 00:23:36,314
On to day two, and I'd like
to explore my location.

427
00:23:44,390 --> 00:23:46,725
Looks like good
rabbit country here.

428
00:23:57,603 --> 00:23:59,437
I thought I heard something,
but it was just bugs.

429
00:24:01,473 --> 00:24:04,109
I wanna get familiar
with the area,

430
00:24:04,209 --> 00:24:08,046
kind of get a feel
for my terrain.

431
00:24:14,286 --> 00:24:16,754
<i>Obviously, I'm gonna think
about my kids all the time, </i>

432
00:24:16,755 --> 00:24:18,923
<i>so I'm gonna do
one of the only things </i>

433
00:24:18,924 --> 00:24:20,158
<i>I've known how to do, </i>

434
00:24:20,159 --> 00:24:21,859
<i>and that's work hard
and stay busy. </i>

435
00:24:21,860 --> 00:24:24,829
Keeping busy is keeping sane.

436
00:24:24,830 --> 00:24:27,032
Let's see what we got here.

437
00:24:27,132 --> 00:24:33,237
Very fresh wolf tracks,
like I'm right behind the guy.

438
00:24:37,509 --> 00:24:40,445
Here's a duck.

439
00:25:15,114 --> 00:25:16,514
Yeah, he's bleeding good.

440
00:25:16,515 --> 00:25:22,620
He's gonna go over that bank
and die, I'm sure.

441
00:25:22,621 --> 00:25:23,888
I'm gonna give him time
and see if I

442
00:25:23,889 --> 00:25:26,157
can't retrieve these arrows.

443
00:25:39,405 --> 00:25:42,507
Well, let's go find that duck.

444
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,749
Okay, made it
to the other side.

445
00:25:51,750 --> 00:25:53,618
Where's that duck at?

446
00:25:56,088 --> 00:25:58,791
I don't see it just yet.

447
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:03,462
Right there.

448
00:26:03,562 --> 00:26:05,463
Nice.

449
00:26:05,464 --> 00:26:07,999
Now we just need
a long stick to get him.

450
00:26:15,874 --> 00:26:19,444
Oh, yeah.

451
00:26:21,413 --> 00:26:22,647
Nice.

452
00:26:26,251 --> 00:26:27,718
Oh, yeah.

453
00:26:27,719 --> 00:26:29,187
Sweet.

454
00:26:29,188 --> 00:26:30,755
Got him.

455
00:26:30,756 --> 00:26:35,793
It cost me one arrow,
but I'll be eating tonight.

456
00:26:35,794 --> 00:26:37,563
It's starting to
feel like home.

457
00:26:58,584 --> 00:27:00,952
I can't believe
I slept in so late.

458
00:27:00,953 --> 00:27:02,086
It's okay.

459
00:27:02,087 --> 00:27:06,525
It's hard to kind of
sleep here.

460
00:27:08,727 --> 00:27:10,661
You have a million things
running through your brain

461
00:27:10,662 --> 00:27:14,233
of, like, what to do,
what to build,

462
00:27:14,333 --> 00:27:16,234
how much time do you have.

463
00:27:16,235 --> 00:27:18,236
It's not raining today.

464
00:27:18,237 --> 00:27:21,473
It's overcast,
but it's not raining.

465
00:27:21,573 --> 00:27:24,242
So I'm gonna
take this opportunity

466
00:27:24,243 --> 00:27:27,278
to dry some of my clothes.

467
00:27:27,279 --> 00:27:28,780
But I think I wanna make
some tea.

468
00:27:28,881 --> 00:27:31,682
I'm also gonna go
for a walk for tinder.

469
00:27:31,683 --> 00:27:33,484
I gotta do something
for these bug bites.

470
00:27:33,485 --> 00:27:34,519
Eat some berries.

471
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,523
I think that's the plan.

472
00:27:40,893 --> 00:27:43,794
I wish I had coffee.

473
00:27:49,168 --> 00:27:50,835
I spoke too soon.

474
00:27:53,572 --> 00:27:55,273
It's gonna be
a really hard time

475
00:27:55,274 --> 00:27:58,743
with how damp everything is.

476
00:27:58,744 --> 00:28:00,278
This is super frustrating.

477
00:28:00,279 --> 00:28:04,715
I was hoping that the weather
from day one would continue,

478
00:28:04,716 --> 00:28:06,184
but that didn't happen.

479
00:28:06,185 --> 00:28:11,989
So I'm gonna take right now
to do some self-care.

480
00:28:11,990 --> 00:28:16,862
If being in a swamp wasn't
already a bit unforgiving,

481
00:28:16,962 --> 00:28:18,829
now it's the wet season.

482
00:28:18,830 --> 00:28:21,433
Oh, my God,
everything is just wet.

483
00:28:21,533 --> 00:28:22,867
Everything is just getting wet.

484
00:28:22,868 --> 00:28:24,402
Wet, wet, wet, wet, wet.

485
00:28:24,403 --> 00:28:27,338
<i>So getting ready for fire
and fire maintenance </i>

486
00:28:27,339 --> 00:28:31,142
<i>and staying dry is
a whole other added element </i>

487
00:28:31,143 --> 00:28:32,843
<i>to this experience. </i>

488
00:28:32,844 --> 00:28:34,947
So after this tea is done--

489
00:28:35,047 --> 00:28:38,783
. Oh, my God.

490
00:28:38,784 --> 00:28:43,754
A pool of water coming in,
and now my sleeping bag

491
00:28:43,755 --> 00:28:46,023
is soaking wet.

492
00:28:46,024 --> 00:28:48,159
Oh, my God!

493
00:28:50,162 --> 00:28:54,332
There's no way I'm gonna be
able to dry this in this rain.

494
00:28:58,870 --> 00:29:01,940
Oh, my God.

495
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:03,641
Oh, my God!

496
00:29:06,078 --> 00:29:08,546
.
What am I gonna--.

497
00:29:08,547 --> 00:29:10,481
I'm gonna freeze my
off tonight.

498
00:29:10,482 --> 00:29:11,950
That's what I'm gonna
do.

499
00:29:12,050 --> 00:29:15,386
Now I have a wet
sleeping bag.

500
00:29:15,387 --> 00:29:20,157
Oh, my God.

501
00:29:21,727 --> 00:29:24,195
I really don't wanna
leave for this.

502
00:29:24,196 --> 00:29:26,865
This is so stupid!

503
00:29:26,965 --> 00:29:31,069
Oh!

504
00:29:31,169 --> 00:29:33,070
<i>I knew this wasn't
gonna be easy. </i>

505
00:29:33,071 --> 00:29:34,605
<i>You can't always
expect every day </i>

506
00:29:34,606 --> 00:29:36,541
<i>to be sunshine and rainbows, </i>

507
00:29:36,642 --> 00:29:39,877
<i>but conditions are
what you make of them. </i>

508
00:29:39,878 --> 00:29:41,512
Jacks, chill. Relax.

509
00:29:41,513 --> 00:29:42,680
Just chill.

510
00:29:42,681 --> 00:29:43,782
You're smart.

511
00:29:43,882 --> 00:29:44,915
You're very smart.

512
00:29:44,916 --> 00:29:46,550
You can fix this problem.

513
00:29:46,551 --> 00:29:49,021
<i>So you can choose
to be miserable... </i>

514
00:29:49,121 --> 00:29:52,024
You know how to fix things.

515
00:29:52,124 --> 00:29:53,758
You are a problem-solver.

516
00:29:53,759 --> 00:29:56,360
<i>Or you can choose
to push through it. </i>

517
00:29:56,361 --> 00:29:57,962
It's not too bad.

518
00:29:57,963 --> 00:30:01,667
The sleeping bag is
not, like, pierced.

519
00:30:01,767 --> 00:30:02,701
It's just damp.

520
00:30:02,801 --> 00:30:04,669
So this will end.

521
00:30:04,670 --> 00:30:06,637
I will live.

522
00:30:06,638 --> 00:30:09,574
I will be dry again.

523
00:30:09,675 --> 00:30:14,879
<i>And every storm eventually
runs out of rain, </i>

524
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:16,914
<i>so you just gotta wait it out. </i>

525
00:30:20,986 --> 00:30:24,155
We're gonna do
a short little walkabout,

526
00:30:24,156 --> 00:30:28,426
and I'm going to confirm

527
00:30:28,427 --> 00:30:31,829
my permanent shelter location.

528
00:30:31,830 --> 00:30:35,399
<i>My temporary shelter looks
like a giant burrito... </i>

529
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,501
And I am the filling.

530
00:30:37,502 --> 00:30:40,037
<i>It's just a problem. </i>

531
00:30:40,038 --> 00:30:43,542
<i>You lose your body heat
25 times faster if you're wet, </i>

532
00:30:43,642 --> 00:30:45,911
<i>so I need to figure out
where my long-term shelter </i>

533
00:30:46,011 --> 00:30:47,311
<i>is going to be. </i>

534
00:30:47,312 --> 00:30:48,814
<i>Because if you can't get fire, </i>

535
00:30:48,914 --> 00:30:51,116
<i>at least shelter
can protect you. </i>

536
00:30:52,718 --> 00:30:56,588
So I stumbled
upon this new pond

537
00:30:56,688 --> 00:31:01,392
with all of this
amazing seed down.

538
00:31:01,393 --> 00:31:03,994
It's some sort of,
I believe, buttercup,

539
00:31:03,995 --> 00:31:06,364
but look at this view.

540
00:31:06,365 --> 00:31:08,065
This is unreal.

541
00:31:08,066 --> 00:31:10,034
I think we know our answer,
and the answer is that

542
00:31:10,035 --> 00:31:15,507
I need to figure out a way
to be closer to this pond

543
00:31:15,607 --> 00:31:18,442
to check out the rest
of this landscape.

544
00:31:21,813 --> 00:31:26,917
So this is a giant pile of crap

545
00:31:26,918 --> 00:31:31,088
that is
pretty big bear activity,

546
00:31:31,089 --> 00:31:34,558
past day or two.

547
00:31:34,559 --> 00:31:38,229
So that's not a good sign.

548
00:31:44,970 --> 00:31:49,006
There's a lot of it--
here, here, here, here, here.

549
00:31:51,610 --> 00:31:56,381
I think I know now I don't
wanna camp near here.

550
00:31:56,481 --> 00:31:59,517
<i>Getting a shelter up
as fast as possible </i>

551
00:31:59,518 --> 00:32:01,752
<i>is my number one priority. </i>

552
00:32:01,753 --> 00:32:03,154
It's okay.

553
00:32:03,155 --> 00:32:05,589
We'll go this way.

554
00:32:05,590 --> 00:32:08,193
<i>But covering
as much ground as I can </i>

555
00:32:08,293 --> 00:32:11,662
<i>in the shortest amount of time
is not going to be easy </i>

556
00:32:11,663 --> 00:32:14,498
<i>in a terrain
as unforgiving as this. </i>

557
00:32:18,003 --> 00:32:20,704
This terrain.

558
00:32:23,442 --> 00:32:25,242
<i>We're not talking temperature. </i>

559
00:32:25,243 --> 00:32:26,877
<i>We're not talking animals. </i>

560
00:32:26,878 --> 00:32:29,447
<i>We're talking
just the ground alone. </i>

561
00:32:29,448 --> 00:32:31,749
This is so much work.

562
00:32:31,750 --> 00:32:36,287
<i>Way more difficult beyond
what I could have imagined. </i>

563
00:32:36,288 --> 00:32:37,988
Wait a second.

564
00:32:37,989 --> 00:32:40,925
I know I was still
wearing the--oh, wow.

565
00:32:44,362 --> 00:32:50,201
I lost a freaking shirt,
a sweater

566
00:32:50,202 --> 00:32:51,669
wrapped around my waist.

567
00:32:59,544 --> 00:33:01,745
This place is brutal.

568
00:33:05,484 --> 00:33:06,918
Every single step...

569
00:33:10,021 --> 00:33:12,590
Is so grueling.

570
00:33:15,927 --> 00:33:17,228
Ooh.

571
00:33:30,842 --> 00:33:31,842
Ooh.

572
00:33:37,249 --> 00:33:38,749
Ah.

573
00:33:40,719 --> 00:33:44,154
This terrain.

574
00:33:44,155 --> 00:33:48,025
Oh, it hurt my shoulder.

575
00:33:48,026 --> 00:33:50,128
I feel like
I'm just wasting time.

576
00:33:58,603 --> 00:34:00,604
Ah.

577
00:34:00,605 --> 00:34:02,173
And I'm losing .

578
00:34:05,610 --> 00:34:08,112
Things aren't working.

579
00:34:08,213 --> 00:34:09,713
Like, it's really easy,
I think,

580
00:34:09,714 --> 00:34:11,549
for people to also,
like, watch this show

581
00:34:11,550 --> 00:34:13,783
and be like, oh, well,
why didn't she or he do that?

582
00:34:13,784 --> 00:34:16,387
Blah, blah, blah, blah.

583
00:34:16,388 --> 00:34:19,455
It's different when
you're out here, man.

584
00:34:19,456 --> 00:34:25,629
Your head and everything you do
has to be so dialed in.

585
00:34:28,766 --> 00:34:34,905
And I lost a crucial item,

586
00:34:34,906 --> 00:34:39,344
a piece of clothing
that will keep me warm.

587
00:35:00,398 --> 00:35:03,268
One, two, three.

588
00:35:03,368 --> 00:35:05,604
That's my little snare.

589
00:35:10,709 --> 00:35:12,377
I gotta check my snares.

590
00:35:13,712 --> 00:35:20,751
Yes!

591
00:35:20,752 --> 00:35:23,320
Yo, beauty!

592
00:35:27,092 --> 00:35:28,927
Ah!

593
00:35:30,595 --> 00:35:32,563
A drink bottle.

594
00:35:35,266 --> 00:35:36,767
I did not think
that there was gonna be

595
00:35:36,768 --> 00:35:42,006
much rubbish around here,
given the remoteness of this.

596
00:35:42,007 --> 00:35:43,807
Ah!

597
00:35:43,808 --> 00:35:47,878
This opens up
a lot more exploring.

598
00:35:47,879 --> 00:35:51,715
I can take this with me
and drink whilst I'm out there

599
00:35:51,716 --> 00:35:53,884
for, like, almost a whole day.

600
00:35:53,885 --> 00:35:57,422
This isn't just a small--
this is--

601
00:35:57,522 --> 00:35:59,156
oh!

602
00:35:59,157 --> 00:36:00,891
Land provides.

603
00:36:00,892 --> 00:36:02,559
The land provides.

604
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:03,927
Ah.

605
00:36:03,928 --> 00:36:05,095
Whoo!

606
00:36:07,465 --> 00:36:09,233
<i>My main strategy
for being out here </i>

607
00:36:09,234 --> 00:36:11,368
<i>is trying to have
as many passive means </i>

608
00:36:11,369 --> 00:36:14,271
<i>of getting food as possible, </i>

609
00:36:14,272 --> 00:36:16,206
<i>so I wanna have a snare line
going for snowshoe hare. </i>

610
00:36:16,207 --> 00:36:20,244
<i>I wanna have snares out
for squirrel. </i>

611
00:36:20,245 --> 00:36:22,446
All right, snare line.

612
00:36:22,447 --> 00:36:25,416
Let's go.

613
00:36:25,417 --> 00:36:28,352
<i>I've never trapped
snowshoe hare in the fall, </i>

614
00:36:28,353 --> 00:36:32,122
<i>because I've never been
in Canada in the fall. </i>

615
00:36:32,123 --> 00:36:34,391
One, two, three.

616
00:36:34,392 --> 00:36:36,027
No change.

617
00:36:36,127 --> 00:36:37,961
Empty, empty.

618
00:36:37,962 --> 00:36:40,831
<i>I'm used to coming up
when it's full winter. </i>

619
00:36:40,832 --> 00:36:42,734
<i>There's snow and ice
everywhere. </i>

620
00:36:42,834 --> 00:36:45,636
<i>It's gonna take me a while
to kind of figure it out. </i>

621
00:36:45,637 --> 00:36:47,638
No, it's fine.

622
00:36:47,639 --> 00:36:49,106
No change.

623
00:36:49,107 --> 00:36:50,674
<i>As I learn the land, </i>

624
00:36:50,675 --> 00:36:52,609
<i>I can kind of adjust
and go from there. </i>

625
00:36:52,610 --> 00:36:54,712
<i>At the moment,
it's just about spray and pray </i>

626
00:36:54,713 --> 00:36:57,415
<i>and try and put out
as many as I can. </i>

627
00:37:01,453 --> 00:37:05,789
Yes. This one has a hare in it.

628
00:37:05,790 --> 00:37:07,124
I think it might
still be alive.

629
00:37:09,761 --> 00:37:11,962
It is.

630
00:37:11,963 --> 00:37:14,364
Got him on the foot.

631
00:37:14,365 --> 00:37:15,566
Sorry, dude.

632
00:37:17,769 --> 00:37:19,269
You're fighting for your life.

633
00:37:19,270 --> 00:37:22,172
I get it. I get it. I get it.

634
00:37:22,173 --> 00:37:23,841
Shh.

635
00:37:26,444 --> 00:37:28,445
Thanks, little guy.

636
00:37:32,250 --> 00:37:37,020
Trap line produces.

637
00:37:37,021 --> 00:37:40,324
First snowshoe hare.

638
00:37:40,325 --> 00:37:45,362
Got it by its foot,
which is not ideal.

639
00:37:45,363 --> 00:37:51,102
But I'm super grateful for
my first protein of the land.

640
00:37:54,405 --> 00:37:57,941
It gives me confidence that,

641
00:37:57,942 --> 00:38:00,712
you know,
this spot can provide for me.

642
00:38:00,812 --> 00:38:03,680
I just gotta keep
figuring it out.

643
00:38:03,681 --> 00:38:06,351
Take this guy back,
get him processed,

644
00:38:06,451 --> 00:38:09,119
and enjoy my first solid meal.

645
00:38:11,589 --> 00:38:13,991
Trap line's starting
to produce.

646
00:38:13,992 --> 00:38:16,628
Getting somewhere.

647
00:38:20,165 --> 00:38:25,502
<i>It's pretty special just to
get your first actual game </i>

648
00:38:25,503 --> 00:38:28,605
<i>off the land. </i>

649
00:38:28,606 --> 00:38:30,975
Liver.

650
00:38:31,075 --> 00:38:33,710
So much nutrients
in that liver.

651
00:38:33,711 --> 00:38:35,145
Whoo.

652
00:38:35,146 --> 00:38:37,948
<i>You go in there to check,
and there's no sign. </i>

653
00:38:37,949 --> 00:38:39,716
<i>You're not even sure whether
you're in the right area. </i>

654
00:38:39,717 --> 00:38:42,152
<i>And then to have one
come in into your snare, </i>

655
00:38:42,153 --> 00:38:45,355
<i>you're just like, okay,
we're on the right path. </i>

656
00:38:45,356 --> 00:38:47,625
A lot of meat in there.

657
00:38:47,725 --> 00:38:49,260
<i>It just opens up
the possibility </i>

658
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:51,028
<i>of more coming my way. </i>

659
00:38:51,029 --> 00:38:52,362
<i>And if I can
make it happen once, </i>

660
00:38:52,363 --> 00:38:55,433
<i>I can make it happen again. </i>

661
00:38:55,533 --> 00:38:59,603
Pot full of snowshoe hare.

662
00:38:59,604 --> 00:39:02,406
I'll eat some now,
and I'll have more tomorrow

663
00:39:02,407 --> 00:39:04,641
for breakfast as well.

664
00:39:04,642 --> 00:39:06,210
Perfect.

665
00:39:08,813 --> 00:39:11,348
These organs right here
are just gonna be a huge boost

666
00:39:11,349 --> 00:39:14,017
of vitamins and minerals.

667
00:39:23,595 --> 00:39:24,795
Oh, yeah.

668
00:39:24,796 --> 00:39:28,398
Efforts are paying off.

669
00:39:28,399 --> 00:39:30,868
Thank you.

670
00:39:30,869 --> 00:39:33,738
<i>Ah, thank you. </i>

671
00:40:05,637 --> 00:40:09,473
<i>Hunting is very opportunistic
in a place like this. </i>

672
00:40:09,474 --> 00:40:13,076
<i>So as I'm walking around,
my bow is always in my hand. </i>

673
00:40:13,077 --> 00:40:14,678
<i>Arrows are in the quiver,
ready to go, </i>

674
00:40:14,679 --> 00:40:17,514
<i>should the need arise
where I need to send one. </i>

675
00:40:17,515 --> 00:40:22,085
It's thick, but might
find rabbits in there.

676
00:40:22,086 --> 00:40:23,987
Gotta play to win.

677
00:40:23,988 --> 00:40:25,155
<i>My site is bountiful. </i>

678
00:40:25,156 --> 00:40:26,590
<i>It's full of berries. </i>

679
00:40:26,591 --> 00:40:28,325
<i>I see lots of
small-game trails. </i>

680
00:40:28,326 --> 00:40:31,095
<i>I see moose sign
and bear sign on the beach. </i>

681
00:40:31,195 --> 00:40:33,563
<i>Anything moving is gonna
get an arrow in it. </i>

682
00:40:39,904 --> 00:40:41,839
Thought I smelled moose.

683
00:40:43,608 --> 00:40:45,510
I thought I could smell moose.

684
00:40:50,682 --> 00:40:54,084
Pretty sure I did.

685
00:41:01,693 --> 00:41:07,064
<i>I've wanted to hunt moose my
entire life as an outdoorsman. </i>

686
00:41:13,237 --> 00:41:15,472
<i>They're such
an impressive animal. </i>

687
00:41:15,473 --> 00:41:18,308
<i>Just the thought of having
the opportunity to hunt one, </i>

688
00:41:18,309 --> 00:41:19,910
<i>I'm getting goose bumps. </i>

689
00:42:05,757 --> 00:42:07,524
Grouse.

690
00:42:27,879 --> 00:42:29,547
Damn it.

691
00:42:32,417 --> 00:42:34,684
I'm not sure what's
going on with me.

692
00:42:34,685 --> 00:42:36,953
Missing--missing like crazy,

693
00:42:36,954 --> 00:42:39,223
missing shots
that I never miss.

694
00:42:47,932 --> 00:42:50,667
Marking a trail back
to that arrow I lost.

695
00:42:50,668 --> 00:42:52,035
I need to get back to camp,

696
00:42:52,036 --> 00:42:54,037
think about
what I wanna do next.

697
00:42:55,706 --> 00:42:59,510
<i>It's so unlike me
to miss shots like that. </i>

698
00:42:59,610 --> 00:43:00,912
<i>In everything I've ever done, </i>

699
00:43:01,012 --> 00:43:02,446
<i>I've always found
an extra gear </i>

700
00:43:02,447 --> 00:43:04,181
<i>and been successful. </i>

701
00:43:04,182 --> 00:43:09,986
<i>So not finding that extra gear
is a big concern of mine. </i>

702
00:43:12,090 --> 00:43:14,424
Where I'm standing right now,

703
00:43:14,425 --> 00:43:17,761
it, like, shows
absolutely zero sign

704
00:43:17,762 --> 00:43:19,796
of a human ever being here...

705
00:43:21,566 --> 00:43:25,269
On a piece of land maybe
nobody's ever stepped foot on.

706
00:43:25,369 --> 00:43:27,771
It's kind of
a wild realization.

707
00:44:16,921 --> 00:44:23,426
And for the first meal
of the day...

708
00:44:23,427 --> 00:44:27,164
I have here

709
00:44:27,165 --> 00:44:29,800
the rosehips.

710
00:44:31,602 --> 00:44:37,140
<i>My plan for food,
eat everything that I can-- </i>

711
00:44:37,141 --> 00:44:42,879
<i>berries, worms,
grubs, insects, fish, meat, </i>

712
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:45,850
<i>birds, everything I can catch. </i>

713
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:57,761
Hello?

714
00:45:24,155 --> 00:45:26,556
I shot a squirrel.

715
00:45:38,769 --> 00:45:40,637
Yeah.

716
00:45:40,638 --> 00:45:42,505
Thank you, man.

717
00:45:48,012 --> 00:45:52,283
I shot my first meal.

718
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:05,996
The castle of my city,
Palmela.

719
00:46:05,997 --> 00:46:08,131
<i>My name is Clementino Pedrosa. </i>

720
00:46:08,132 --> 00:46:12,636
<i>I have been in the
Portuguese Army for 21 years. </i>

721
00:46:12,637 --> 00:46:15,940
<i>I started with six years
in the paratroopers. </i>

722
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:18,943
<i>Every day, we went training,
calisthenics. </i>

723
00:46:19,043 --> 00:46:21,145
I catch a boa in the snare.

724
00:46:21,245 --> 00:46:24,914
<i>Then I spend two years
in the sergeant school, </i>

725
00:46:24,915 --> 00:46:27,117
<i>where I learned a lot
about tactics. </i>

726
00:46:27,118 --> 00:46:29,787
The heart of the boar.

727
00:46:29,887 --> 00:46:31,422
Very nice to eat.

728
00:46:31,522 --> 00:46:36,993
<i>And when I finished, I went in
the special troops, Commandos, </i>

729
00:46:36,994 --> 00:46:40,964
<i>where I became a survival
instructor for the military. </i>

730
00:46:42,566 --> 00:46:44,634
<i>And I wrote
three survival books. </i>

731
00:46:44,635 --> 00:46:48,071
Nature is always good to us.

732
00:46:48,072 --> 00:46:51,541
<i>With all the things
that can happen to me-- </i>

733
00:46:51,542 --> 00:46:55,145
<i>starving, injuries,
predators-- </i>

734
00:46:55,146 --> 00:46:58,181
<i>I have the skills
to deal with it. </i>

735
00:46:58,182 --> 00:47:03,854
It's starting to snow stronger,
and I can't be here.

736
00:47:03,954 --> 00:47:06,623
<i>But I want to test
my limits... </i>

737
00:47:06,624 --> 00:47:08,558
Here is my shelter.

738
00:47:08,559 --> 00:47:13,663
<i>Prove to myself that I have
the will to survive anything. </i>

739
00:47:13,664 --> 00:47:16,667
Today will be
the wedding of my sister.

740
00:47:16,767 --> 00:47:18,201
<i>I have a good family. </i>

741
00:47:18,202 --> 00:47:21,037
<i>We love
to spend time together. </i>

742
00:47:21,038 --> 00:47:24,107
<i>But tapping out
for being alone </i>

743
00:47:24,108 --> 00:47:27,077
<i>is not a possibility for me. </i>

744
00:47:27,078 --> 00:47:32,482
<i>My parents created me
not to be at their side </i>

745
00:47:32,483 --> 00:47:36,319
<i>when things become wrong
but to protect everybody. </i>

746
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:37,754
My last cut.

747
00:47:37,755 --> 00:47:40,191
<i>That's why I joined the army. </i>

748
00:47:40,291 --> 00:47:42,192
<i>I know that I have the skills. </i>

749
00:47:42,193 --> 00:47:43,793
<i>I can push further. </i>

750
00:47:43,794 --> 00:47:46,029
Goodbye, goodbye,
goodbye, goodbye.

751
00:47:46,030 --> 00:47:47,597
<i>Ciao. </i>

752
00:47:47,598 --> 00:47:50,233
<i>So I'm ready to go
through the sacrifice </i>

753
00:47:50,234 --> 00:47:54,405
<i>and become someone
that they are proud about. </i>

754
00:47:55,673 --> 00:47:57,174
Let's go.

755
00:47:58,609 --> 00:48:00,811
Look at this.

756
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:04,315
Let's cook this.

757
00:48:09,487 --> 00:48:10,855
<i>In all the seasons, </i>

758
00:48:10,955 --> 00:48:13,623
<i>non-active military
won the show. </i>

759
00:48:13,624 --> 00:48:18,962
<i>So for me being here alone
is like "Rambo," the movie. </i>

760
00:48:18,963 --> 00:48:22,065
<i>I hope I can inspire
all the military guys. </i>

761
00:48:30,875 --> 00:48:34,277
<i>I decided to bring
the flag of my country </i>

762
00:48:34,278 --> 00:48:37,981
<i>instead of a picture
of my family, </i>

763
00:48:37,982 --> 00:48:42,685
<i>because I have my family
in my mind all the time, </i>

764
00:48:42,686 --> 00:48:46,656
<i>and I know they
understand that. </i>

765
00:48:46,657 --> 00:48:51,060
<i>And I decided to bring
that flag, a symbol of hope </i>

766
00:48:51,061 --> 00:48:52,996
<i>to the Portuguese people. </i>

767
00:48:56,367 --> 00:48:59,436
<i>And for me,
it's important because </i>

768
00:48:59,437 --> 00:49:02,205
<i>I want to prove to myself
and the people </i>

769
00:49:02,206 --> 00:49:06,509
<i>that it's possible to survive. </i>

770
00:49:06,510 --> 00:49:08,779
Let's eat the brain.

771
00:49:12,016 --> 00:49:14,718
Yeah, the little brain.

772
00:49:20,558 --> 00:49:22,592
Another squirrel.

773
00:49:22,593 --> 00:49:24,562
Oh, no, no, no.

774
00:49:27,598 --> 00:49:29,199
The guts.

775
00:49:52,156 --> 00:49:54,157
Awesome.

776
00:50:04,401 --> 00:50:07,070
I shot another one.

777
00:50:07,071 --> 00:50:09,405
I shot another squirrel
with my bow.

778
00:50:09,406 --> 00:50:10,440
Awesome.

779
00:50:10,441 --> 00:50:13,476
<i>My start is easy. </i>

780
00:50:13,477 --> 00:50:15,111
Thank you very much.

781
00:50:15,112 --> 00:50:16,279
<i>I can stay. </i>

782
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:17,681
<i>I can feed myself. </i>

783
00:50:21,151 --> 00:50:24,754
<i>I hope, in the future,
this will not be a problem. </i>

784
00:50:27,124 --> 00:50:29,592
Thank you, God.

785
00:50:29,593 --> 00:50:31,394
Thank you.

786
00:50:58,989 --> 00:51:03,393
A challenge like this really

787
00:51:03,394 --> 00:51:06,730
is dependent
on your life circumstance.

788
00:51:09,667 --> 00:51:13,836
Like, I set up everything
to where it would operate

789
00:51:13,837 --> 00:51:16,839
when I'm gone, but...

790
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:19,876
the guilt associated
with putting burdens

791
00:51:19,877 --> 00:51:23,513
on everyone else
is significant.

792
00:51:26,350 --> 00:51:30,454
I miss tucking my daughter
into bed, singing to her.

793
00:51:33,557 --> 00:51:37,594
They grow so fast
when they're that young.

794
00:51:37,595 --> 00:51:40,898
Like, I just don't wanna miss
any of it if I don't have to.

795
00:51:43,367 --> 00:51:46,035
Okay, stay focused.

796
00:51:46,036 --> 00:51:48,838
Priority for today, fishing.

797
00:51:57,147 --> 00:51:59,148
<i>Fatherhood means
a lot of things to me. </i>

798
00:51:59,149 --> 00:52:02,352
<i>It means providing
a safe, stable, honorable, </i>

799
00:52:02,353 --> 00:52:06,189
<i>respectable place
for my daughters to become </i>

800
00:52:06,190 --> 00:52:07,724
<i>who they were made to be. </i>

801
00:52:07,725 --> 00:52:09,792
Pretty skinny
for bait right now,

802
00:52:09,793 --> 00:52:12,829
but we're gonna try
some cranberries

803
00:52:12,830 --> 00:52:16,734
that look like fish eggs
and a little frog that I found.

804
00:52:18,902 --> 00:52:20,170
Let's go fishing.

805
00:52:22,473 --> 00:52:27,610
<i>I do worry about if I'm good
enough as a father, every day. </i>

806
00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:34,484
<i>I come from a line of fathers
that were kind of absent. </i>

807
00:52:34,485 --> 00:52:38,989
<i>It's very damaging
to grow up without a father. </i>

808
00:52:39,089 --> 00:52:40,123
Wow.

809
00:52:40,124 --> 00:52:42,158
Just lost the hook already.

810
00:52:43,994 --> 00:52:47,397
Man, I can just not
snap into .

811
00:52:47,398 --> 00:52:48,998
Get in the game, David.

812
00:52:52,002 --> 00:52:53,936
Get in the game, man.

813
00:52:56,507 --> 00:52:59,108
<i>It's at the forefront of
my mind to break that cycle </i>

814
00:52:59,109 --> 00:53:03,212
<i>and to be the man that
my family needs me to be. </i>

815
00:53:03,213 --> 00:53:05,548
Good Lord.

816
00:53:05,549 --> 00:53:08,117
Oh, my gosh.

817
00:53:08,118 --> 00:53:10,753
<i>Being a provider
for my family is something </i>

818
00:53:10,754 --> 00:53:13,189
<i>that I take very seriously. </i>

819
00:53:13,190 --> 00:53:16,893
<i>Being out here is a very
roundabout way to do that. </i>

820
00:53:16,894 --> 00:53:20,430
<i>The question is, are you
putting your family first </i>

821
00:53:20,431 --> 00:53:22,365
<i>or are you putting
yourself first? </i>

822
00:53:24,001 --> 00:53:26,002
And I don't know what...

823
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:31,641
I don't know
what's going on with me.

824
00:53:31,642 --> 00:53:34,712
I need to snap
out of it, though.

825
00:53:34,812 --> 00:53:36,512
I'm just exhausted.

826
00:53:36,513 --> 00:53:40,349
My stomach is still
just churning.

827
00:53:42,886 --> 00:53:45,722
I'm gonna go put up
some more snares now.

828
00:53:48,192 --> 00:53:52,228
<i>I feel like in any other point
in my life up to this moment, </i>

829
00:53:52,229 --> 00:53:55,798
<i>I would have been
just ecstatic doing this. </i>

830
00:53:55,799 --> 00:54:01,237
<i>And for some reason, I can't
seem to gather any enthusiasm. </i>

831
00:54:10,914 --> 00:54:14,350
Man, I miss
my wife and kids.

832
00:54:22,993 --> 00:54:29,398
I am not in the game
right now, so...

833
00:54:29,399 --> 00:54:33,970
the thought of my stubborn ass
going as long as I can...

834
00:54:36,473 --> 00:54:38,241
I don't want it.

835
00:54:40,344 --> 00:54:42,044
I don't want it.

836
00:54:49,086 --> 00:54:51,320
Hey, this is David.

837
00:54:51,321 --> 00:54:53,656
I am officially tapping out.

838
00:55:11,041 --> 00:55:13,143
I'm...

839
00:55:13,243 --> 00:55:15,144
I'm feeling ready to go home.

840
00:55:15,145 --> 00:55:18,382
It's obviously not
how I wanted it to go,

841
00:55:18,482 --> 00:55:20,917
but the cumulative time
away from my family,

842
00:55:20,918 --> 00:55:22,986
I'd never been away
from them that long.

843
00:55:23,086 --> 00:55:25,421
And it's like a magnet, man.

844
00:55:25,422 --> 00:55:27,523
It's like,
it's inseparable, like,

845
00:55:27,524 --> 00:55:30,860
wanting to come back together
and be there for them

846
00:55:30,861 --> 00:55:33,162
and them be there for me.

847
00:55:33,163 --> 00:55:37,033
And all I can think about
is my wife and kids.

848
00:55:42,206 --> 00:55:44,707
<i>This just not how
I saw myself leaving. </i>

849
00:55:44,708 --> 00:55:47,844
<i>I'm not one to quit, ever. </i>

850
00:55:47,845 --> 00:55:51,280
<i>I came out here to win,
but I'm choosing this </i>

851
00:55:51,281 --> 00:55:53,817
<i>over being at home
with my wife and kids. </i>

852
00:55:53,917 --> 00:55:55,786
<i>And that was a decision
that I was </i>

853
00:55:55,886 --> 00:55:57,753
<i>no longer comfortable making. </i>

854
00:55:57,754 --> 00:55:59,956
<i>What I told myself
to come out here </i>

855
00:55:59,957 --> 00:56:02,358
<i>was that I'm doing it
for them and that </i>

856
00:56:02,359 --> 00:56:05,495
<i>they will reap the benefits
of the cash prize. </i>

857
00:56:05,596 --> 00:56:08,397
<i>And then it just occurred
to me every step of the way, </i>

858
00:56:08,398 --> 00:56:11,634
<i>like, man, there's not a thing
in the world worth trading </i>

859
00:56:11,635 --> 00:56:13,202
<i>time with your family for. </i>

860
00:56:13,203 --> 00:56:14,671
<i>You talk to anybody
on their deathbed, </i>

861
00:56:14,771 --> 00:56:16,606
<i>that's all they want, is time. </i>

862
00:56:16,607 --> 00:56:19,308
<i>They want more time
with their family. </i>

863
00:56:19,309 --> 00:56:22,345
<i>I know the kind of father
I am committed to being. </i>

864
00:56:22,346 --> 00:56:24,313
<i>A good father doesn't
take days off from that. </i>

865
00:56:41,632 --> 00:56:46,035
My lips are very dry,
so I need to take care of them.

866
00:56:48,472 --> 00:56:52,776
I will use the fat
of the skin...

867
00:57:00,918 --> 00:57:02,718
For my skin.

868
00:57:05,555 --> 00:57:10,426
When the rain stops,
I will check my snares.

869
00:57:12,262 --> 00:57:14,263
Yeah, that's it.

870
00:57:15,866 --> 00:57:19,535
<i>For my hunting strategy,
I already set up snares. </i>

871
00:57:19,536 --> 00:57:23,439
<i>I go hunting every day,
in the morning. </i>

872
00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:25,341
Let's see.

873
00:57:36,453 --> 00:57:37,421
Nothing.

874
00:57:37,521 --> 00:57:40,290
Let's check the other snares.

875
00:57:41,959 --> 00:57:44,560
<i>I think I will fail a lot. </i>

876
00:57:45,762 --> 00:57:49,231
<i>That will be
my number one skill, </i>

877
00:57:49,232 --> 00:57:50,666
<i>dealing with the failure, </i>

878
00:57:50,667 --> 00:57:53,035
<i>because it's normal for me
to fail. </i>

879
00:57:53,036 --> 00:57:55,706
<i>All the courses
that I passed in the army, </i>

880
00:57:55,806 --> 00:57:59,743
<i>I was pushing
to the limit to fail. </i>

881
00:57:59,843 --> 00:58:04,747
<i>And dealing with the fail
is the most important thing. </i>

882
00:58:04,748 --> 00:58:06,682
<i>That's where the grit is. </i>

883
00:58:12,322 --> 00:58:16,126
I catch a rabbit in the snare.

884
00:58:24,134 --> 00:58:26,136
Thank you, rabbit.

885
00:58:29,306 --> 00:58:31,641
Let's cook this.

886
00:58:37,881 --> 00:58:40,116
Want to cut here.

887
00:58:44,788 --> 00:58:46,756
Yeah.

888
00:58:46,757 --> 00:58:49,358
<i>Cleaning the rabbit,
I learned with my mom. </i>

889
00:58:49,359 --> 00:58:52,228
<i>My parents teached us
how to cook, </i>

890
00:58:52,229 --> 00:58:56,432
<i>and making your own things
to eat and drink is the best. </i>

891
00:58:56,433 --> 00:59:01,504
The ground squirrel
have more fat

892
00:59:01,505 --> 00:59:03,672
than the rabbit.

893
00:59:03,673 --> 00:59:07,877
<i>The flavor of everything
is completely different </i>

894
00:59:07,878 --> 00:59:10,379
<i>than the commercial things. </i>

895
00:59:10,380 --> 00:59:16,152
Oh, it will be good

896
00:59:16,153 --> 00:59:19,955
to make a pair of gloves.

897
00:59:21,391 --> 00:59:23,092
It will be awesome.

898
00:59:23,093 --> 00:59:28,364
<i>I am grateful for my childhood
and my family. </i>

899
00:59:28,365 --> 00:59:32,269
Yeah, let's take off.

900
00:59:33,837 --> 00:59:40,309
<i>If I win, I will share all
the prize money with them. </i>

901
00:59:40,310 --> 00:59:45,714
And we have a beautiful rabbit.

902
00:59:45,715 --> 00:59:47,349
<i>Equal to equal. </i>

903
00:59:47,350 --> 00:59:49,285
Let's go.

904
00:59:49,286 --> 00:59:52,154
<i>Because we are like one. </i>

905
00:59:52,155 --> 00:59:54,190
<i>We are one family. </i>

906
00:59:57,994 --> 00:59:59,028
Wait.

907
01:00:02,766 --> 01:00:04,600
I see another rabbit.

908
01:00:08,238 --> 01:00:10,973
He is so close for my snare.

909
01:00:17,047 --> 01:00:19,882
I can't get closer.

910
01:00:29,726 --> 01:00:31,026
Oh.

911
01:00:33,630 --> 01:00:35,364
He got trapped.

912
01:00:37,767 --> 01:00:39,635
Ah.

913
01:00:39,636 --> 01:00:41,203
Sorry, man.

914
01:00:45,709 --> 01:00:47,676
It's amazing.

915
01:00:47,677 --> 01:00:50,479
Two rabbits.

916
01:00:50,480 --> 01:00:51,981
Let's make some fire.

917
01:00:55,185 --> 01:00:58,487
<i>That rabbit, he was
so close to the snare, </i>

918
01:00:58,488 --> 01:01:02,258
<i>and I shot the arrow,
then missed the shot. </i>

919
01:01:02,259 --> 01:01:06,162
<i>But the rabbit ran
and get caught in the snare, </i>

920
01:01:06,163 --> 01:01:07,997
<i>and it was funny to see. </i>

921
01:01:07,998 --> 01:01:12,168
<i>But once again,
it felt so easy. </i>

922
01:01:13,370 --> 01:01:15,104
<i>I need to be cautious, </i>

923
01:01:15,105 --> 01:01:19,910
<i>because surviving
is not for ego. </i>

924
01:01:20,010 --> 01:01:22,645
The leg of the rabbit.

925
01:01:24,848 --> 01:01:27,683
<i>The ego can destroy you. </i>

926
01:01:27,684 --> 01:01:29,985
Thank you.

927
01:01:32,689 --> 01:01:34,957
<i>And sometimes it's difficult. </i>

928
01:01:34,958 --> 01:01:39,628
Let's eat,
because I deserve to eat.

929
01:01:39,629 --> 01:01:42,831
<i>I say to myself,
fight your ego. </i>

930
01:01:42,832 --> 01:01:44,868
<i>Don't let your ego
be superior... </i>

931
01:01:44,968 --> 01:01:49,605
This tastes awesome.

932
01:01:49,606 --> 01:01:55,511
<i>Because if I let the ego
of hunting being so easy, </i>

933
01:01:55,512 --> 01:02:00,115
<i>I can see myself
in a hard situation. </i>

934
01:02:20,036 --> 01:02:22,504
Okay, I'm gonna
continue on with

935
01:02:22,505 --> 01:02:26,242
my traditional berry picker.

936
01:02:26,243 --> 01:02:29,812
And you can see,

937
01:02:29,813 --> 01:02:33,449
we just need
to install the nails

938
01:02:33,450 --> 01:02:35,884
at the base of the picker.

939
01:02:35,885 --> 01:02:40,423
And that's gonna be
difficult, I think.

940
01:02:40,523 --> 01:02:44,360
<i>I found some old pieces of
wood next to the riverbank. </i>

941
01:02:44,361 --> 01:02:48,998
<i>Some of them have nails that
I know I could use for tools. </i>

942
01:02:48,999 --> 01:02:51,400
<i>And the immediate thing
that comes to mind </i>

943
01:02:51,401 --> 01:02:53,669
<i>is making a traditional
berry picker. </i>

944
01:02:53,670 --> 01:02:56,105
Starting to get cracks here.

945
01:02:57,841 --> 01:03:02,611
And I can drill out
the remaining nine holes.

946
01:03:04,447 --> 01:03:07,283
Then we won't have
this splitting.

947
01:03:07,284 --> 01:03:12,921
I'm gonna get the components
of my Eskimo bow drill made,

948
01:03:12,922 --> 01:03:15,124
my pattaqtuun.

949
01:03:15,125 --> 01:03:17,393
<i>I've built many berry pickers. </i>

950
01:03:17,394 --> 01:03:20,229
<i>The split that the nails
are causing is common, </i>

951
01:03:20,230 --> 01:03:23,365
<i>so I need to pre-drill
the holes for the nails </i>

952
01:03:23,366 --> 01:03:24,701
<i>to be inserted. </i>

953
01:03:24,801 --> 01:03:27,870
<i>But the only way
to pre-drill these holes </i>

954
01:03:27,871 --> 01:03:32,641
<i>is to use a traditional
Iñupiaq mouth drill. </i>

955
01:03:32,642 --> 01:03:34,476
Okay, looking good.

956
01:03:34,477 --> 01:03:37,379
So put the mouthpiece in.

957
01:03:37,380 --> 01:03:38,481
Find the hole.

958
01:03:41,051 --> 01:03:42,985
There it is.

959
01:03:42,986 --> 01:03:46,722
And I want to drill there.

960
01:03:46,723 --> 01:03:51,560
So as you can see,
I got a hand freed up.

961
01:03:51,561 --> 01:03:53,830
And I'm gonna do it
just like that.

962
01:03:56,199 --> 01:03:58,867
And that's gonna make a hole.

963
01:03:58,868 --> 01:04:01,003
<i>I'm looking to show
traditional methods </i>

964
01:04:01,004 --> 01:04:03,205
<i>and traditional ways
of hunting, gathering, </i>

965
01:04:03,206 --> 01:04:05,874
<i>tool making,
and shelter building. </i>

966
01:04:05,875 --> 01:04:07,509
Beautiful.

967
01:04:07,510 --> 01:04:10,379
That worked amazing.

968
01:04:10,380 --> 01:04:11,780
<i>Representing the Iñupiaq people </i>

969
01:04:11,781 --> 01:04:13,315
<i>is very important to me. </i>

970
01:04:13,316 --> 01:04:16,485
<i>I'm hoping to show the world
how strong that we are </i>

971
01:04:16,486 --> 01:04:18,153
<i>and how strong
that we've always been </i>

972
01:04:18,154 --> 01:04:19,455
<i>for thousands of years. </i>

973
01:04:19,456 --> 01:04:22,191
<i>And if it wasn't
for all of the knowledge </i>

974
01:04:22,192 --> 01:04:24,360
<i>that was passed down
for generations, </i>

975
01:04:24,361 --> 01:04:26,762
<i>we might not be here today. </i>

976
01:04:26,763 --> 01:04:30,399
All right, there it is.

977
01:04:30,400 --> 01:04:37,107
Beautiful, beautiful
Iñupiaq berry comb.

978
01:04:37,207 --> 01:04:40,476
Man, that is gonna pick me
a lot of berries.

979
01:04:43,480 --> 01:04:45,714
<i>Next on the agenda
this morning is working </i>

980
01:04:45,715 --> 01:04:47,383
<i>on my permanent shelter. </i>

981
01:04:47,384 --> 01:04:49,352
So what I'm gonna do is,
I'm gonna

982
01:04:49,452 --> 01:04:52,254
make a traditional ivrulik.

983
01:04:52,255 --> 01:04:57,427
And "ivrulik" means
"sod house" in Iñupiaq.

984
01:04:57,527 --> 01:04:58,994
We'll get started on that.

985
01:04:58,995 --> 01:05:01,697
I'm gonna limb these three
trees, and we'll go from there.

986
01:05:03,833 --> 01:05:07,636
<i>A traditional ivrulik
sod house helped my people </i>

987
01:05:07,637 --> 01:05:09,405
<i>survive through long winters,
and I'm hoping </i>

988
01:05:09,406 --> 01:05:12,308
<i>that's gonna help me survive
the cold, frigid temperatures. </i>

989
01:05:12,409 --> 01:05:17,980
Okay, there's three posts,
all solid.

990
01:05:17,981 --> 01:05:20,482
Need to install the fourth.

991
01:05:21,951 --> 01:05:24,353
<i>We're in one of the most
desolate climates on Earth. </i>

992
01:05:24,354 --> 01:05:25,821
<i>We're gonna have
a lot of wind. </i>

993
01:05:25,822 --> 01:05:27,356
<i>We're gonna have
a lot of snow. </i>

994
01:05:27,357 --> 01:05:29,558
<i>We're gonna have a lot
of freezing temperatures. </i>

995
01:05:29,559 --> 01:05:31,460
<i>You're not gonna
survive the winter </i>

996
01:05:31,461 --> 01:05:33,796
<i>without a strong shelter. </i>

997
01:05:33,797 --> 01:05:37,267
All right,
post number four, done.

998
01:05:37,367 --> 01:05:39,201
Let's get the beams up.

999
01:05:42,005 --> 01:05:46,842
<i>So my strategy is to get
this shelter built fast. </i>

1000
01:05:46,843 --> 01:05:48,410
There we go.

1001
01:05:52,482 --> 01:05:53,882
Okay.

1002
01:05:57,253 --> 01:05:59,388
We're solid.

1003
01:05:59,389 --> 01:06:02,157
<i>In my head,
I know that if I do this </i>

1004
01:06:02,158 --> 01:06:05,394
<i>within the first few days, I'm
not gonna burn much energy. </i>

1005
01:06:05,395 --> 01:06:06,829
<i>I'm not gonna lose
a bunch of weight. </i>

1006
01:06:06,830 --> 01:06:09,631
Timber.

1007
01:06:09,632 --> 01:06:11,967
<i>I know if I can get this
finished quickly, </i>

1008
01:06:11,968 --> 01:06:14,304
<i>I'm gonna have a roof
over my head, </i>

1009
01:06:14,404 --> 01:06:16,104
<i>and I'm gonna be able
to devote </i>

1010
01:06:16,105 --> 01:06:19,475
<i>most of my time and be able
to have all the energy </i>

1011
01:06:19,476 --> 01:06:22,444
<i>to burn on hunting big game. </i>

1012
01:06:22,445 --> 01:06:24,346
Yeah, I'm happy with that.

1013
01:06:26,082 --> 01:06:28,383
I'll head back to the shelter.

1014
01:06:38,928 --> 01:06:41,997
Wow, spruce grouse.

1015
01:06:49,239 --> 01:06:50,839
There's another one too.

1016
01:06:58,681 --> 01:07:00,249
You get a shot.

1017
01:07:24,874 --> 01:07:26,475
Thank you, buddy.

1018
01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:45,594
Two spruce grouse.

1019
01:07:45,595 --> 01:07:47,030
Woot-woot!

1020
01:07:47,130 --> 01:07:50,465
Nice.

1021
01:07:50,466 --> 01:07:52,235
Beautiful.

1022
01:07:55,572 --> 01:07:58,273
Taikuu, quyanaq,
spruce grouse,

1023
01:07:58,274 --> 01:08:00,642
for giving your lives to me.

1024
01:08:00,643 --> 01:08:03,245
I'm gonna be eating good
for a few days.

1025
01:08:06,316 --> 01:08:09,551
We got our beautiful grouse.

1026
01:08:09,552 --> 01:08:11,019
And that's just
gonna slide in,

1027
01:08:11,020 --> 01:08:13,189
just like that,
just like butter.

1028
01:08:13,289 --> 01:08:14,923
Look at that.

1029
01:08:14,924 --> 01:08:17,793
I'm gonna start
cooking it just like that.

1030
01:08:19,127 --> 01:08:21,630
Beautiful.

1031
01:08:21,631 --> 01:08:23,965
<i>Being out here definitely
feels like home to me, </i>

1032
01:08:23,966 --> 01:08:25,800
<i>because this is
the life that I live. </i>

1033
01:08:25,801 --> 01:08:27,235
<i>We live off the land. </i>

1034
01:08:27,236 --> 01:08:29,305
<i>We live in darkness.
We live in cold. </i>

1035
01:08:29,404 --> 01:08:31,908
<i>We live with all
of the similar dangers </i>

1036
01:08:32,008 --> 01:08:34,443
<i>that this land has. </i>

1037
01:08:34,444 --> 01:08:38,045
Oh, yeah.

1038
01:08:38,046 --> 01:08:41,083
We are done.

1039
01:08:41,084 --> 01:08:43,151
Let's bite into this guy.

1040
01:08:45,555 --> 01:08:46,589
Mmm.

1041
01:08:49,626 --> 01:08:50,925
So good.

1042
01:08:52,761 --> 01:08:55,330
Save the bone for fishhooks,

1043
01:08:55,331 --> 01:08:58,166
and we'll see
if they're strong enough.

1044
01:08:58,167 --> 01:08:59,735
And the heart.

1045
01:09:01,671 --> 01:09:02,903
Doesn't look
cooked all the way.

1046
01:09:02,904 --> 01:09:05,507
I will cook it a little longer.

1047
01:09:05,508 --> 01:09:08,344
And you know what,
as hungry as I am,

1048
01:09:08,444 --> 01:09:12,582
let's just do the heart
pretty much raw.

1049
01:09:12,682 --> 01:09:14,883
I mean, I think it's, like,
a quarter of the way cooked.

1050
01:09:17,553 --> 01:09:21,223
Yeah, it's not cooked,
but I don't care.

1051
01:09:22,892 --> 01:09:29,264
Every piece of flesh
and meat, it all adds up.

1052
01:09:29,265 --> 01:09:32,701
We'll tie these up in case
I decide that

1053
01:09:32,702 --> 01:09:36,672
they're strong enough
for fish barbs.

1054
01:09:36,673 --> 01:09:38,941
They look long enough.

1055
01:09:39,042 --> 01:09:41,309
Grouse feet, nunchucks.

1056
01:09:52,055 --> 01:09:55,290
Okay, very good.

1057
01:10:19,282 --> 01:10:20,283
Yeah.

1058
01:10:21,918 --> 01:10:27,657
I just have my Christmas tree.

1059
01:10:30,793 --> 01:10:35,765
I hope I can stay
and be the last one.

1060
01:10:46,109 --> 01:10:49,679
<i>Today I will
modify my shelter. </i>

1061
01:10:53,082 --> 01:10:55,450
Time to get to work.

1062
01:10:57,386 --> 01:11:02,724
<i>Now that I catch enough food,
I feel like a bullfighter </i>

1063
01:11:02,725 --> 01:11:05,360
<i>with so much strength. </i>

1064
01:11:05,361 --> 01:11:11,032
This remembers me
the calisthenics

1065
01:11:11,033 --> 01:11:13,368
in the paratroopers.

1066
01:11:13,369 --> 01:11:15,271
Make squats.

1067
01:11:15,371 --> 01:11:17,873
Yeah.

1068
01:11:17,874 --> 01:11:21,610
Two, three.

1069
01:11:21,611 --> 01:11:25,680
Eight, nine.

1070
01:11:25,681 --> 01:11:29,351
Ten, eleven.

1071
01:11:29,352 --> 01:11:32,954
Yeah.

1072
01:11:32,955 --> 01:11:38,060
The most important piece,
making a good shelter.

1073
01:11:38,161 --> 01:11:42,397
I will take off the tarp

1074
01:11:42,398 --> 01:11:48,637
and put some logs
in the back side.

1075
01:11:53,042 --> 01:11:56,678
<i>The first days were important
to do the first walls, </i>

1076
01:11:56,679 --> 01:12:00,315
<i>but will be a problem
when the winter comes. </i>

1077
01:12:00,316 --> 01:12:06,121
<i>I can have a storm, and I need
to make a resistant shelter. </i>

1078
01:12:08,224 --> 01:12:10,091
Careful.

1079
01:12:10,092 --> 01:12:12,727
Do not get the tarp.

1080
01:12:12,728 --> 01:12:14,629
Yeah.

1081
01:12:14,630 --> 01:12:20,068
Patience is
the most important

1082
01:12:20,069 --> 01:12:23,438
for my log cabin.

1083
01:12:24,974 --> 01:12:28,543
<i>There are so many
straight logs around me, </i>

1084
01:12:28,544 --> 01:12:32,614
<i>building a log cabin
will not be a problem. </i>

1085
01:12:35,518 --> 01:12:41,723
<i>I will put four sticks each
side and put log above log, </i>

1086
01:12:41,724 --> 01:12:43,291
<i>in the horizontal. </i>

1087
01:12:46,796 --> 01:12:51,467
I want to have
the best shelter.

1088
01:12:51,567 --> 01:12:56,838
Let's pick up
more moss to insulate.

1089
01:12:56,839 --> 01:12:59,040
Moss.

1090
01:12:59,041 --> 01:13:04,379
All this moss.

1091
01:13:06,082 --> 01:13:09,451
<i>The plan that I have
is to make the shelter </i>

1092
01:13:09,452 --> 01:13:12,153
<i>and spend
all the days there... </i>

1093
01:13:12,154 --> 01:13:13,788
Let's see.

1094
01:13:13,789 --> 01:13:17,192
<i>Collecting wood, making traps, </i>

1095
01:13:17,193 --> 01:13:20,195
<i>fishing,
and enjoying every day </i>

1096
01:13:20,196 --> 01:13:23,833
<i>like it's the last day
of my life. </i>

1097
01:13:25,835 --> 01:13:30,473
<i>And I hope my brother
can be here with me, </i>

1098
01:13:30,573 --> 01:13:33,909
<i>sharing my beautiful shelter. </i>

1099
01:13:35,544 --> 01:13:39,714
<i>I'm expecting
that can happen for me. </i>

1100
01:13:39,715 --> 01:13:45,353
<i>But being alone
in this extreme environment </i>

1101
01:13:45,354 --> 01:13:47,989
<i>can change a lot. </i>

1102
01:13:49,926 --> 01:13:54,329
And that's it for today.

1103
01:13:56,132 --> 01:13:57,599
That's it.

1104
01:14:15,518 --> 01:14:18,553
All right,
Iñupiaq berry comb.

1105
01:14:18,554 --> 01:14:20,355
Let's test it out.

1106
01:14:20,356 --> 01:14:22,590
Ooh.

1107
01:14:22,591 --> 01:14:25,193
That's how it works.

1108
01:14:25,194 --> 01:14:28,563
And once you get
more skilled at it,

1109
01:14:28,564 --> 01:14:30,832
you can just pick
a ton of berries quick.

1110
01:14:33,269 --> 01:14:38,773
You can see it just combs the
berries right off the leaves.

1111
01:14:41,043 --> 01:14:43,445
Just look at that. Beautiful.

1112
01:14:48,651 --> 01:14:50,952
Dump 'em in.

1113
01:14:50,953 --> 01:14:53,254
Keep on cruising.

1114
01:14:55,992 --> 01:14:57,759
Okay, we're gonna get
started on building

1115
01:14:57,760 --> 01:15:00,161
the permanent shelter again.

1116
01:15:00,162 --> 01:15:02,430
Big decision.

1117
01:15:02,431 --> 01:15:06,401
I'm gonna make my ivrulik
just half the width.

1118
01:15:06,402 --> 01:15:11,307
With all the trees
that I have to fell,

1119
01:15:11,407 --> 01:15:15,477
limb, stack,
and then moss after,

1120
01:15:15,478 --> 01:15:17,846
I don't wanna spend
that much time on a shelter.

1121
01:15:17,847 --> 01:15:21,249
So I'm just thinking
it's too big.

1122
01:15:21,250 --> 01:15:24,352
I'm gonna start pulling these
poles down, off the roof,

1123
01:15:24,353 --> 01:15:27,656
<i>and reuse the poles
on the outside. </i>

1124
01:15:27,757 --> 01:15:30,925
<i>I don't wanna gas myself out
making a big shelter. </i>

1125
01:15:30,926 --> 01:15:33,395
<i>It's gonna take too long. </i>

1126
01:15:35,231 --> 01:15:38,666
One, two, three, hyah!

1127
01:15:38,667 --> 01:15:42,704
<i>More importantly, the energy
it's gonna save me... </i>

1128
01:15:42,705 --> 01:15:44,472
Timber.

1129
01:15:44,473 --> 01:15:45,874
<i>I'll be able to use
a lot more of it </i>

1130
01:15:45,875 --> 01:15:49,644
<i>to go hunt and fish
when the time comes. </i>

1131
01:15:49,645 --> 01:15:51,479
A little bit
into the ground there.

1132
01:15:51,480 --> 01:15:52,714
Perfect.

1133
01:15:54,683 --> 01:15:56,885
<i>I don't really like calling it
a shelter </i>

1134
01:15:56,886 --> 01:16:00,155
<i>just because shelter, to me,
just seems like a place </i>

1135
01:16:00,156 --> 01:16:03,558
<i>where you're living
to try to survive. </i>

1136
01:16:05,361 --> 01:16:06,661
<i>I don't wanna feel
like that out here. </i>

1137
01:16:06,662 --> 01:16:08,264
<i>I don't wanna feel
like I'm in a place </i>

1138
01:16:08,364 --> 01:16:09,764
<i>where I'm just trying
to survive. </i>

1139
01:16:09,765 --> 01:16:12,000
<i>I wanna feel like I'm
in a place where I'm living, </i>

1140
01:16:12,001 --> 01:16:13,868
<i>a place where I'm thriving. </i>

1141
01:16:15,604 --> 01:16:19,507
All right, ivrulik frame
is almost done.

1142
01:16:19,508 --> 01:16:21,843
Shall we go on a tour?

1143
01:16:21,844 --> 01:16:27,649
You can see the outside walls
are made from spruce.

1144
01:16:27,650 --> 01:16:29,350
Rooftop here.

1145
01:16:29,351 --> 01:16:31,587
Our qanitchaq entryway.

1146
01:16:31,687 --> 01:16:32,621
Beautiful.

1147
01:16:32,721 --> 01:16:33,788
Let's take you in.

1148
01:16:36,725 --> 01:16:39,662
Ooh, this is nice.

1149
01:16:39,762 --> 01:16:42,298
Beautiful ivrulik.

1150
01:16:42,398 --> 01:16:44,365
So this whole thing
will be covered in sod,

1151
01:16:44,366 --> 01:16:46,835
which is a top layer
of soil here.

1152
01:16:46,836 --> 01:16:51,005
And we'll move our
sleeping platform in here.

1153
01:16:51,006 --> 01:16:53,608
And then eventually,
I'll figure out a way

1154
01:16:53,609 --> 01:16:56,511
to get a fire pit in here,

1155
01:16:56,512 --> 01:16:59,280
a fire stove,
wood stove, something.

1156
01:16:59,281 --> 01:17:01,850
I'm gonna need
something for heat.

1157
01:17:01,851 --> 01:17:04,486
But yeah, I'm really
happy with the frame,

1158
01:17:04,487 --> 01:17:05,888
the outcome of the frame.

1159
01:17:13,129 --> 01:17:17,832
<i>Day one, I was like,
what the heck am I doing here? </i>

1160
01:17:17,833 --> 01:17:20,034
<i>I got kids at home. </i>

1161
01:17:20,035 --> 01:17:23,505
<i>I just felt like, wow,
you know, this was a mistake. </i>

1162
01:17:23,506 --> 01:17:27,075
<i>I just felt like
I could tap today. </i>

1163
01:17:27,076 --> 01:17:31,547
<i>And then once I started to
get busy, I was on a mission. </i>

1164
01:17:31,647 --> 01:17:34,716
<i>And I know if I stay busy, </i>

1165
01:17:34,717 --> 01:17:37,218
<i>my mind isn't gonna have time
to think. </i>

1166
01:17:39,155 --> 01:17:42,824
I feel like...

1167
01:17:42,825 --> 01:17:45,827
my kids, my wife,
and my culture,

1168
01:17:45,828 --> 01:17:46,828
that's all I have.

1169
01:17:46,829 --> 01:17:50,231
That's all I want.

1170
01:17:50,232 --> 01:17:53,468
I have those two things,
and I'm happy.

1171
01:17:58,474 --> 01:18:01,409
I always tell them,

1172
01:18:01,410 --> 01:18:06,281
you know,
if we were homeless or...

1173
01:18:06,282 --> 01:18:10,118
living at a camp or--

1174
01:18:10,119 --> 01:18:11,620
as long as if we
had each other,

1175
01:18:11,720 --> 01:18:13,154
that's all that would matter.

1176
01:18:13,155 --> 01:18:15,123
As long as if we had each other
and we're all healthy,

1177
01:18:15,124 --> 01:18:16,324
we'd be happy.

1178
01:18:16,325 --> 01:18:20,361
So I know that's the truth.

1179
01:18:27,970 --> 01:18:29,537
Mwah.

1180
01:18:31,540 --> 01:18:33,775
And we'll just keep that...

1181
01:18:40,082 --> 01:18:41,951
Up there.

1182
01:18:45,187 --> 01:18:47,823
Other than that, we'll
continue on with the ivrulik.

1183
01:18:47,923 --> 01:18:50,692
We'll be doing the moss,
the sod,

1184
01:18:50,693 --> 01:18:55,029
the ivru portion
of the ivrulik.

1185
01:18:55,030 --> 01:18:59,034
And I think that
might go smooth.

1186
01:19:03,439 --> 01:19:05,874
We'll call that a day.

1187
01:19:23,726 --> 01:19:25,560
Missed that.

1188
01:19:26,929 --> 01:19:29,565
What the am I doing?

1189
01:19:32,401 --> 01:19:35,137
It's cold out there.

1190
01:19:37,539 --> 01:19:41,876
The shelter is not done yet,

1191
01:19:41,877 --> 01:19:45,547
but it's starting

1192
01:19:45,648 --> 01:19:49,752
to be a little better.

1193
01:19:49,852 --> 01:19:55,123
Working on the shelter
is hard, really, really hard.

1194
01:19:58,427 --> 01:20:01,629
You get tired fast.

1195
01:20:01,630 --> 01:20:07,268
So for today,
trying to catch something.

1196
01:20:07,269 --> 01:20:09,604
<i>I start to teach
survival skills </i>

1197
01:20:09,605 --> 01:20:12,908
<i>to the army students
in the same time that </i>

1198
01:20:13,008 --> 01:20:15,310
<i>"Alone" started on TV. </i>

1199
01:20:15,311 --> 01:20:21,616
<i>So I tried to put something
of that in my classes, </i>

1200
01:20:21,617 --> 01:20:26,521
<i>because what I saw
in the other seasons is that </i>

1201
01:20:26,522 --> 01:20:29,123
<i>they quit
because of their mind. </i>

1202
01:20:31,026 --> 01:20:36,397
<i>So challenging my students
to push theirselves </i>

1203
01:20:36,398 --> 01:20:38,599
<i>to learn about their mind... </i>

1204
01:20:40,002 --> 01:20:42,338
Nothing there.

1205
01:20:42,438 --> 01:20:46,808
<i>Because the most important
is the grit that you have </i>

1206
01:20:46,809 --> 01:20:50,712
<i>to deal with hard days. </i>

1207
01:20:52,314 --> 01:20:54,115
Squirrel.

1208
01:21:00,723 --> 01:21:03,925
I lost another arrow.

1209
01:21:03,926 --> 01:21:06,661
.

1210
01:21:06,662 --> 01:21:11,799
I already lost two arrows
because of a squirrel.

1211
01:21:11,800 --> 01:21:13,868
I don't want to lose any more.

1212
01:21:25,481 --> 01:21:27,148
And I lost all the arrows.

1213
01:21:29,284 --> 01:21:33,121
<i>I brought only nine arrows. </i>

1214
01:21:33,122 --> 01:21:36,557
<i>Now I only have four arrows. </i>

1215
01:21:37,760 --> 01:21:40,962
Let's try to find.

1216
01:21:40,963 --> 01:21:44,165
<i>I miss all the shots. </i>

1217
01:21:44,166 --> 01:21:49,404
<i>I lost the arrows, and I start
to lose the confidence. </i>

1218
01:21:49,405 --> 01:21:52,140
Why am I so stupid?

1219
01:21:53,942 --> 01:21:55,844
<i>What is happening with me? </i>

1220
01:22:03,485 --> 01:22:07,488
<i>And I realize
I had some victories, </i>

1221
01:22:07,489 --> 01:22:11,058
<i>and I let my ego come out. </i>

1222
01:22:12,594 --> 01:22:14,796
I can't see my arrow.

1223
01:22:16,365 --> 01:22:19,400
Damn.

1224
01:22:19,401 --> 01:22:20,868
<i>This is not good. </i>

1225
01:22:26,475 --> 01:22:30,244
<i>I mumble enough
to understand that failure </i>

1226
01:22:30,245 --> 01:22:32,079
<i>is part of the process. </i>

1227
01:22:33,682 --> 01:22:35,883
I need to collect...

1228
01:22:37,753 --> 01:22:42,723
This for making arrows,
new arrows.

1229
01:22:42,724 --> 01:22:44,792
<i>And sometimes it's difficult, </i>

1230
01:22:44,793 --> 01:22:47,962
<i>but I don't focus
in the failure. </i>

1231
01:22:47,963 --> 01:22:50,398
<i>I focus in the next step. </i>

1232
01:23:00,876 --> 01:23:02,811
What the hell is that?

1233
01:23:06,682 --> 01:23:09,284
There is something big here.

1234
01:23:27,369 --> 01:23:29,270
Yeah.

1235
01:23:29,271 --> 01:23:31,639
It's a moose.

1236
01:23:31,640 --> 01:23:34,709
Down there.

1237
01:23:34,710 --> 01:23:37,112
Holy .

1238
01:23:37,212 --> 01:23:41,082
I think it's two of them.

1239
01:23:41,083 --> 01:23:45,486
Two of them in the sand.

1240
01:23:46,989 --> 01:23:48,991
Oh, man.

1241
01:23:49,091 --> 01:23:50,992
Oh.

1242
01:23:53,629 --> 01:23:59,267
Amazing, but I can't kill them.

1243
01:23:59,268 --> 01:24:03,638
<i>Looking at these moose,
it's wonderful. </i>

1244
01:24:03,639 --> 01:24:07,376
<i>I know I cannot hunt a female
with the son, </i>

1245
01:24:07,476 --> 01:24:12,113
<i>because it's not allowed
by the hunting rules. </i>

1246

01:24:37,039 --> 01:24:41,175
<i>I will not miss the shot. </i>
