1
00:00:10,511 --> 00:00:12,255
I'm slowly dying.
2
00:00:12,279 --> 00:00:13,946
How far can I go?
3
00:00:16,583 --> 00:00:19,318
Oh, my God, I got my chance.
4
00:00:21,588 --> 00:00:22,899
The "Alone" World Championship.
5
00:00:22,923 --> 00:00:24,167
Ugh!
6
00:00:24,191 --> 00:00:25,134
Doesn't get any better.
7
00:00:25,158 --> 00:00:26,569
Got him.
8
00:00:26,593 --> 00:00:27,770
Going up against
some of the world's
9
00:00:27,794 --> 00:00:29,172
best bushcrafters.
10
00:00:29,196 --> 00:00:30,940
Fire!
11
00:00:30,964 --> 00:00:34,210
This ain't a beauty pageant.
This is a survival challenge.
12
00:00:34,234 --> 00:00:35,903
It takes
a little bit of insanity
13
00:00:36,003 --> 00:00:37,680
to wanna stay out here alone.
14
00:00:37,704 --> 00:00:38,781
Ah!
15
00:00:38,805 --> 00:00:39,805
Bear.
16
00:00:41,275 --> 00:00:43,509
But I think I might have
that little bit of insanity.
17
00:00:45,679 --> 00:00:46,723
We are in one of the most
18
00:00:46,747 --> 00:00:48,558
harsh environments
on the planet.
19
00:00:48,582 --> 00:00:49,926
The Beaufort Delta,
20
00:00:49,950 --> 00:00:51,952
in the shadow
of the Richardson Mountains.
21
00:00:52,052 --> 00:00:54,197
Yeah!
22
00:00:54,221 --> 00:00:57,166
125 miles into
the Arctic Circle.
23
00:00:57,190 --> 00:01:00,427
I am so far away
from the place I belong to.
24
00:01:00,527 --> 00:01:01,771
Whoa!
25
00:01:01,795 --> 00:01:03,940
There's gonna be
a bitch slap of reality.
26
00:01:03,964 --> 00:01:05,508
This place is brutal.
27
00:01:05,532 --> 00:01:08,578
Being alone out here,
it changes you.
28
00:01:08,602 --> 00:01:10,013
You do lose your mind.
29
00:01:10,037 --> 00:01:12,181
But maybe you find some
of your soul as well.
30
00:01:12,205 --> 00:01:14,050
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
31
00:01:14,074 --> 00:01:15,875
What a day to be alive.
32
00:01:36,763 --> 00:01:40,666
This terrain is brutal.
33
00:01:44,438 --> 00:01:45,615
Perfect.
34
00:01:45,639 --> 00:01:47,050
Ooh.
35
00:01:47,074 --> 00:01:49,443
Beautiful ivrulik.
36
00:01:52,446 --> 00:01:53,814
Amazing.
37
00:01:53,914 --> 00:01:57,694
Hunting a female with
the son is not allowed.
38
00:01:57,718 --> 00:02:00,587
I hope I can get another shot.
39
00:02:00,687 --> 00:02:01,754
Awesome.
40
00:02:03,090 --> 00:02:04,734
Yes!
41
00:02:04,758 --> 00:02:06,302
Sorry, dude.
42
00:02:06,326 --> 00:02:08,237
Shh.
43
00:02:08,261 --> 00:02:11,207
Trap line produces.
44
00:02:11,231 --> 00:02:12,666
First solid meal.
45
00:02:12,766 --> 00:02:14,000
We're on the right path.
46
00:02:15,802 --> 00:02:18,672
Man, I miss
my wife and kids.
47
00:02:20,507 --> 00:02:23,377
I am officially tapping out.
48
00:02:23,477 --> 00:02:25,254
There's not a thing in the world
49
00:02:25,278 --> 00:02:27,547
worth trading time
with your family.
50
00:02:42,829 --> 00:02:45,208
This is the
World Challenge of "Alone."
51
00:02:45,232 --> 00:02:47,477
So as a Welshman,
I'm flying the flag
52
00:02:47,501 --> 00:02:51,014
for our ancestral skills in a
way that nobody's done before.
53
00:02:51,038 --> 00:02:53,750
This is about as surreal
as it can get.
54
00:02:53,774 --> 00:02:55,818
I think if you're
a part of any first ever,
55
00:02:55,842 --> 00:02:57,253
it's pretty exciting.
56
00:02:57,277 --> 00:03:00,723
But could be an easy win
or it could be impossible.
57
00:03:00,747 --> 00:03:03,292
Hopefully I won't see that
thing for quite a while.
58
00:03:03,316 --> 00:03:05,294
I want to prove
that the United States
59
00:03:05,318 --> 00:03:07,186
is better than anybody.
60
00:03:08,889 --> 00:03:10,824
Arctic Circle.
61
00:03:10,924 --> 00:03:11,934
Day one, man.
62
00:03:11,958 --> 00:03:14,037
Holy .
63
00:03:14,061 --> 00:03:16,739
I gotta stop swearing.
64
00:03:16,763 --> 00:03:19,165
Whoo-hoo!
65
00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:28,674
Nice one.
66
00:03:37,517 --> 00:03:40,396
All alone.
67
00:03:40,420 --> 00:03:42,956
Crazy , man.
68
00:03:45,158 --> 00:03:48,594
They dropped me off in
middle of nowhere.
69
00:03:50,363 --> 00:03:52,598
Oh, man, alone.
70
00:03:54,468 --> 00:03:55,868
You hear that?
71
00:04:12,986 --> 00:04:14,263
I'm here.
72
00:04:14,287 --> 00:04:16,189
It's happening.
73
00:04:17,724 --> 00:04:20,327
So many mosquitoes here.
74
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,730
Well...
75
00:04:26,166 --> 00:04:28,602
loads of them.
76
00:04:32,405 --> 00:04:35,108
Okay, first things first.
77
00:04:36,543 --> 00:04:38,844
Let's do some exploring.
78
00:04:44,017 --> 00:04:48,288
The first thing to do
is obtain data.
79
00:04:52,159 --> 00:04:54,027
It's not hot yet.
80
00:04:54,127 --> 00:04:56,263
It's a scientific approach,
81
00:04:56,363 --> 00:04:59,542
seeing what is out there and
looking for the resources.
82
00:04:59,566 --> 00:05:02,378
A lot of Labrador tea.
83
00:05:02,402 --> 00:05:06,382
flies.
84
00:05:06,406 --> 00:05:09,074
They will eat me alive.
85
00:05:17,951 --> 00:05:19,629
Ooh,
86
00:05:19,653 --> 00:05:23,422
it would be so amazing
to do some fishing.
87
00:05:26,493 --> 00:05:28,028
Oh, .
88
00:05:28,128 --> 00:05:29,762
Bear.
89
00:05:34,968 --> 00:05:37,437
And a wolf, a big one.
90
00:05:39,005 --> 00:05:41,017
Nice one.
91
00:05:41,041 --> 00:05:43,375
And another footprint.
92
00:05:45,679 --> 00:05:48,491
And more and more and more.
93
00:05:48,515 --> 00:05:52,161
There are so many footprints
all over the place.
94
00:05:52,185 --> 00:05:55,431
But I'm definitely not afraid
of wolves and also bears,
95
00:05:55,455 --> 00:05:59,192
because I'm quite used to
being in the wilderness.
96
00:05:59,292 --> 00:06:01,170
Look at this.
97
00:06:01,194 --> 00:06:04,140
Super huge wolf.
98
00:06:04,164 --> 00:06:05,374
Gosh.
99
00:06:05,398 --> 00:06:08,177
But maybe I underestimate
how it is
100
00:06:08,201 --> 00:06:10,213
when the big guys are coming.
101
00:06:10,237 --> 00:06:14,350
So it might change if I have
a lot of encounters with bears
102
00:06:14,374 --> 00:06:18,221
and they are not so pleasant
as they are in Slovenia.
103
00:06:18,245 --> 00:06:19,922
Look at this guy.
104
00:06:19,946 --> 00:06:21,691
Black bear.
105
00:06:21,715 --> 00:06:25,695
And wolves and bears and wolves.
106
00:06:25,719 --> 00:06:28,421
Wow.
And all these flies.
107
00:06:28,521 --> 00:06:31,391
In my ears, in my eyes.
108
00:06:31,491 --> 00:06:34,036
I never saw so big ones
in Slovenia.
109
00:06:34,060 --> 00:06:35,762
Bah!
110
00:06:38,565 --> 00:06:41,611
Slovenia is definitely one
of the wildest countries
111
00:06:41,635 --> 00:06:42,678
in Europe.
112
00:06:42,702 --> 00:06:44,180
One of the most
common footprints.
113
00:06:44,204 --> 00:06:45,615
Bears.
114
00:06:45,639 --> 00:06:48,818
More than 60% is forest
and it's still quite intact.
115
00:06:48,842 --> 00:06:51,778
Forest, forest, forest.
116
00:06:51,878 --> 00:06:56,058
So me and my brother went
to the forest just as kids.
117
00:06:56,082 --> 00:07:00,620
We fell in love for
this outdoor life.
118
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:05,001
So we actually started a
survival school back in 2014.
119
00:07:05,025 --> 00:07:08,804
We are really focused on
to build from scratch
120
00:07:08,828 --> 00:07:10,806
everything they need to survive.
121
00:07:10,830 --> 00:07:13,233
If I win half a million dollars,
122
00:07:13,333 --> 00:07:16,045
I would definitely increase
our survival school,
123
00:07:16,069 --> 00:07:19,071
Gozdovnistvo bush craft and
survival school in Slovenia.
124
00:07:20,941 --> 00:07:24,253
And maybe buy a small property
out in the woods
125
00:07:24,277 --> 00:07:26,856
where my family
could spend their time.
126
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:28,815
They are my inspiration.
127
00:07:28,915 --> 00:07:32,151
My wife, she's super stubborn
and she doesn't give up.
128
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,166
I would also like to show
my son what he might achieve
129
00:07:37,190 --> 00:07:39,402
if he really goes for something.
130
00:07:39,426 --> 00:07:41,804
As fish biologist,
I have advantage
131
00:07:41,828 --> 00:07:43,806
over other participants.
132
00:07:43,830 --> 00:07:47,143
I understand
how fish are moving,
133
00:07:47,167 --> 00:07:49,178
what kind of food
they are looking for.
134
00:07:49,202 --> 00:07:50,579
Whoo-hoo!
135
00:07:50,603 --> 00:07:52,939
I'm very proud
to represent Slovenia,
136
00:07:53,039 --> 00:07:55,017
coming from one
very small country,
137
00:07:55,041 --> 00:07:57,320
and I would like to show
138
00:07:57,344 --> 00:07:59,488
it doesn't matter
where you're coming from.
139
00:07:59,512 --> 00:08:00,957
Show them who's the boss.
140
00:08:00,981 --> 00:08:02,525
If you're really
passionate about something...
141
00:08:02,549 --> 00:08:03,559
See you guys!
142
00:08:03,583 --> 00:08:04,684
You can succeed.
143
00:08:05,919 --> 00:08:07,187
Ooh,
144
00:08:07,287 --> 00:08:09,732
look at these guys.
145
00:08:09,756 --> 00:08:13,326
Might be a place for
my temporary shelter.
146
00:08:15,528 --> 00:08:16,930
Whew.
147
00:08:18,498 --> 00:08:20,109
A really nice spot.
148
00:08:20,133 --> 00:08:22,445
It's much better without flies.
149
00:08:22,469 --> 00:08:26,582
And basically,
it's like a flat shelf.
150
00:08:26,606 --> 00:08:29,485
And I have a really,
151
00:08:29,509 --> 00:08:32,388
really nice view
down to the river.
152
00:08:32,412 --> 00:08:35,524
So basically,
I could set my fish lines
153
00:08:35,548 --> 00:08:39,361
and just observe them while
I'm doing other stuff up here.
154
00:08:39,385 --> 00:08:43,164
Another thing is it's a
really nice shooting range.
155
00:08:43,188 --> 00:08:45,468
Will be sufficient
for a couple of days.
156
00:08:45,492 --> 00:08:49,739
And later on, I will look
for more permanent shelter.
157
00:08:49,763 --> 00:08:53,175
And now, guys,
I'm super thirsty.
158
00:08:53,199 --> 00:08:58,180
It's time to start preparing
water that I will drink.
159
00:08:58,204 --> 00:08:59,849
We are here in lowland.
160
00:08:59,873 --> 00:09:02,651
And water,
it has a lot of different
161
00:09:02,675 --> 00:09:04,453
parasites and bacteria.
162
00:09:04,477 --> 00:09:07,056
So treating water
is really important.
163
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,926
But I don't have a ferro rod
to make fire easily.
164
00:09:10,950 --> 00:09:13,996
These rubber boots are
luckily waterproof,
165
00:09:14,020 --> 00:09:17,199
so I will just fill one
completely with water.
166
00:09:17,223 --> 00:09:20,136
Luckily, I have
a very cool technique
167
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,238
to get drinkable water.
168
00:09:22,262 --> 00:09:24,373
And this can give me advantage
169
00:09:24,397 --> 00:09:27,410
because I can go without fire
for a very long time.
170
00:09:27,434 --> 00:09:28,944
Okay.
171
00:09:28,968 --> 00:09:30,670
I will use my shemagh.
172
00:09:30,770 --> 00:09:34,116
Actually, I could use
also T-shirt or whatever.
173
00:09:34,140 --> 00:09:38,220
So the idea is,
if you put it like here
174
00:09:38,244 --> 00:09:42,091
and you leave it like this,
you realize that at some point,
175
00:09:42,115 --> 00:09:45,227
water will get up
to higher point.
176
00:09:45,251 --> 00:09:49,131
So I let it get over here
177
00:09:49,155 --> 00:09:51,233
and into the pot.
178
00:09:51,257 --> 00:09:53,502
When water travels
through this shemagh
179
00:09:53,526 --> 00:09:55,061
or any piece of cloth,
180
00:09:55,161 --> 00:09:58,974
this is actually
the principle of capillarity.
181
00:09:58,998 --> 00:10:02,978
And you can see it's getting
wet and it's spreading.
182
00:10:03,002 --> 00:10:07,016
And the point is that water
and very, very small particles
183
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,143
can travel easier
than bigger particles.
184
00:10:10,243 --> 00:10:13,189
So it's filtering.
185
00:10:13,213 --> 00:10:18,017
And I might speed it up
to make it double.
186
00:10:18,118 --> 00:10:20,496
And I know from
my previous experiences
187
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,299
it is gonna be
good enough for drinking.
188
00:10:23,323 --> 00:10:25,734
Look at that color difference.
189
00:10:25,758 --> 00:10:28,437
In Slovenia,
I have been out in the wild
190
00:10:28,461 --> 00:10:31,073
for so many times
without ferro rod.
191
00:10:31,097 --> 00:10:35,311
And for me, this competition
is not only about winning.
192
00:10:35,335 --> 00:10:38,080
It's also about
testing my skills
193
00:10:38,104 --> 00:10:40,583
and showing to the world
that you can do anything
194
00:10:40,607 --> 00:10:42,818
with less gear.
195
00:10:42,842 --> 00:10:45,644
Look at this. Nice.
196
00:10:48,248 --> 00:10:49,516
Cheers, guys.
197
00:11:19,779 --> 00:11:21,257
All right.
198
00:11:21,281 --> 00:11:23,383
Well, I'm here.
199
00:11:23,483 --> 00:11:24,894
I wanna go check some stuff out,
200
00:11:24,918 --> 00:11:28,721
but I gotta get my gear
organized first.
201
00:11:31,925 --> 00:11:34,503
I don't wanna lose anything.
202
00:11:34,527 --> 00:11:37,230
One of the first things
I'm gonna do
203
00:11:37,330 --> 00:11:41,210
is create a strap here
204
00:11:41,234 --> 00:11:42,769
for my Leatherman.
205
00:11:44,837 --> 00:11:47,917
Yeah, I've only been here
friggin' 20 minutes,
206
00:11:47,941 --> 00:11:49,618
and I'm already like, okay,
don't lose your stuff.
207
00:11:49,642 --> 00:11:51,544
Don't lose your stuff.
208
00:11:51,644 --> 00:11:53,746
I lose my multi-tool,
I'm just done.
209
00:11:53,846 --> 00:11:55,248
Game's over.
210
00:11:57,083 --> 00:11:59,352
Put a loop here in the end.
211
00:12:02,422 --> 00:12:05,534
There we go.
212
00:12:05,558 --> 00:12:08,637
That's the no lose plan.
213
00:12:08,661 --> 00:12:10,796
Put everything back.
214
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,211
Got my bow.
215
00:12:15,235 --> 00:12:18,414
And I think I'm just gonna walk,
216
00:12:18,438 --> 00:12:20,105
you know, see what I can find.
217
00:12:22,108 --> 00:12:23,710
Wow.
218
00:12:23,810 --> 00:12:26,822
This is happening right now.
219
00:12:26,846 --> 00:12:28,281
That's crazy.
220
00:12:29,749 --> 00:12:31,894
Ha, yeah!
221
00:12:31,918 --> 00:12:33,295
Made a perfect shot.
222
00:12:33,319 --> 00:12:35,297
My name is David Booth.
223
00:12:35,321 --> 00:12:37,533
I don't really know if
I could have hit him better.
224
00:12:37,557 --> 00:12:38,934
I grew up in Palmer, Alaska.
225
00:12:38,958 --> 00:12:39,969
Good morning, sir.
226
00:12:39,993 --> 00:12:41,971
I was a high school principal.
227
00:12:41,995 --> 00:12:44,464
I bring the wilderness
with me everywhere that I go.
228
00:12:44,564 --> 00:12:46,008
I just recently retired.
229
00:12:46,032 --> 00:12:50,045
I loved my job because I was
able to make a difference.
230
00:12:50,069 --> 00:12:53,382
But now I need
another challenge.
231
00:12:53,406 --> 00:12:57,286
I need something to push me
as hard as I can be pushed.
232
00:12:57,310 --> 00:12:59,779
In my 52 years in Alaska,
233
00:12:59,879 --> 00:13:01,657
this is what I was raised to do.
234
00:13:01,681 --> 00:13:04,159
Every time I go into the woods,
really, I'm going home.
235
00:13:04,183 --> 00:13:06,195
I've been a hunter
my entire life.
236
00:13:06,219 --> 00:13:09,022
I've hunted every animal
that walks this land.
237
00:13:09,122 --> 00:13:12,601
I owned a fishing guide
service for 23 years.
238
00:13:12,625 --> 00:13:15,261
I've caught every fish
that swims in this water.
239
00:13:15,361 --> 00:13:17,006
This area is my backyard.
240
00:13:17,030 --> 00:13:18,774
That's a huge advantage.
241
00:13:18,798 --> 00:13:20,576
One snowshoe hare.
242
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,878
I've been snaring
since I was a kid.
243
00:13:22,902 --> 00:13:25,614
I recently moved to
Mountain View, Hawaii.
244
00:13:25,638 --> 00:13:27,850
I'm trying to live sustainably.
245
00:13:27,874 --> 00:13:30,052
$500,000... that provides me
246
00:13:30,076 --> 00:13:32,154
the rest of my life
with adventure.
247
00:13:32,178 --> 00:13:34,690
This is the first
"Alone" World Championship.
248
00:13:34,714 --> 00:13:36,058
I'm representing America.
249
00:13:36,082 --> 00:13:38,727
That's gonna push you
even harder.
250
00:13:38,751 --> 00:13:41,953
I don't see myself being
anywhere but the winner.
251
00:13:45,325 --> 00:13:48,437
There's a pretty
heavy trail right here.
252
00:13:48,461 --> 00:13:51,664
I think I'm just gonna
head back this way.
253
00:13:51,764 --> 00:13:54,701
We're here at fall time.
254
00:13:54,801 --> 00:13:55,978
Look at this bank.
255
00:13:56,002 --> 00:13:58,213
It's beautiful.
256
00:13:58,237 --> 00:14:01,216
Looks like I got
a decent spot to fish.
257
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,452
As far as the animals here,
258
00:14:03,476 --> 00:14:05,845
it's probably the most
dangerous part of the year.
259
00:14:07,413 --> 00:14:09,425
Caribou are coming into rut.
260
00:14:09,449 --> 00:14:11,660
They're full of adrenaline.
261
00:14:11,684 --> 00:14:15,564
And grizzly bears are trying
to get full before wintertime.
262
00:14:15,588 --> 00:14:18,467
They're hunting
the same animals.
263
00:14:18,491 --> 00:14:19,702
Beaver.
264
00:14:19,726 --> 00:14:21,361
Like to find him.
265
00:14:22,829 --> 00:14:24,540
Winter's coming,
and they're gonna do
266
00:14:24,564 --> 00:14:27,176
whatever they can
to prepare for it.
267
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,011
I gotta boil some water.
I'm thirsty.
268
00:14:29,035 --> 00:14:31,737
I haven't drank yet, so
I'm gonna do that right now.
269
00:14:34,907 --> 00:14:37,509
Just gonna make
a little spot for a fire.
270
00:14:40,279 --> 00:14:42,358
My end goal at the end of this
271
00:14:42,382 --> 00:14:44,550
is to see how hard
I can push myself.
272
00:14:44,650 --> 00:14:46,718
This is a personal challenge.
273
00:14:48,521 --> 00:14:50,790
This is a world
championship contest.
274
00:14:50,890 --> 00:14:53,535
I believe that us in the West
275
00:14:53,559 --> 00:14:56,372
have a considerable
advantage because
276
00:14:56,396 --> 00:15:00,198
our life is based on practice
and not theory.
277
00:15:02,602 --> 00:15:05,814
Some of the competitors
are very highly skilled.
278
00:15:05,838 --> 00:15:07,850
They've been to fairs.
They've been to camps.
279
00:15:07,874 --> 00:15:10,018
They've watched YouTube videos.
280
00:15:10,042 --> 00:15:13,312
They've made all kinds of
cool stuff in their backyard.
281
00:15:13,413 --> 00:15:14,890
But, um,
282
00:15:14,914 --> 00:15:17,682
there's gonna be a bitch slap
of reality in a month.
283
00:15:22,155 --> 00:15:23,855
What was that?
284
00:15:25,358 --> 00:15:27,603
Oh, .
285
00:15:27,627 --> 00:15:29,338
My ferro rod.
286
00:15:29,362 --> 00:15:31,864
I gotta get it out.
287
00:15:31,964 --> 00:15:34,000
Damn it!
288
00:15:39,839 --> 00:15:41,650
My ferro rod's on fire.
289
00:15:41,674 --> 00:15:43,485
.
290
00:15:43,509 --> 00:15:45,043
Damn it!
291
00:15:47,213 --> 00:15:50,159
It turned to ash.
292
00:15:50,183 --> 00:15:52,384
This is real bad.
293
00:15:54,086 --> 00:15:56,488
I can't light a fire.
294
00:15:59,158 --> 00:16:02,327
This is a taco.
295
00:16:05,164 --> 00:16:07,467
Well, I was that guy.
296
00:16:07,567 --> 00:16:09,469
I'm that guy.
297
00:16:12,705 --> 00:16:14,616
I started my fire,
298
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,052
set my ferro rod
off to the right,
299
00:16:17,076 --> 00:16:18,744
and forgot I set it there
for so long,
300
00:16:18,845 --> 00:16:21,881
and I burned my ferro rod up.
301
00:16:26,686 --> 00:16:29,898
That's gonna make it
pretty damn tough
302
00:16:29,922 --> 00:16:31,858
for me, you know.
303
00:16:33,559 --> 00:16:35,394
That's gonna make it
pretty tough.
304
00:16:36,829 --> 00:16:41,043
I need my ferro rod
as much as I need anything.
305
00:16:41,067 --> 00:16:44,103
I'm in the Arctic.
I gotta have fire.
306
00:16:44,203 --> 00:16:47,115
I can't drink this water.
I can't cook my food.
307
00:16:47,139 --> 00:16:50,486
I can't heat my tent.
And I did it immediately.
308
00:16:50,510 --> 00:16:52,421
Oh, .
309
00:16:52,445 --> 00:16:55,090
I can't believe it.
310
00:16:55,114 --> 00:16:58,293
I said I can't lose my stuff.
311
00:16:58,317 --> 00:17:01,319
And I know that about myself.
I lose things.
312
00:17:03,756 --> 00:17:07,358
All I had to do was tie it to
my waist like my multi-tool.
313
00:17:11,163 --> 00:17:14,467
I only got, like,
an inch of ferro rod.
314
00:17:14,567 --> 00:17:16,835
That's not going to last
very long.
315
00:17:18,604 --> 00:17:21,416
Bow and drill is not
one of my best skills,
316
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,285
and not something
I was planning on
317
00:17:23,309 --> 00:17:26,112
leaning on when I got out here.
318
00:17:26,212 --> 00:17:28,681
I guess I'm Friction Fire Dave
from now on.
319
00:17:29,882 --> 00:17:31,516
.
320
00:17:50,202 --> 00:17:52,347
Welcome to my world.
321
00:17:52,371 --> 00:17:55,241
There's lots of
good-looking material.
322
00:17:56,242 --> 00:17:59,521
I think I'll go
for a small walk,
323
00:17:59,545 --> 00:18:01,147
just grab my bow,
324
00:18:01,247 --> 00:18:05,184
and see what I can
and can't see.
325
00:18:05,284 --> 00:18:07,920
But it looks great.
326
00:18:10,323 --> 00:18:12,858
It looks really good.
327
00:18:18,898 --> 00:18:20,599
So excited.
328
00:18:22,835 --> 00:18:25,614
I can't believe that I am here.
329
00:18:25,638 --> 00:18:27,316
I know that
there's so much to do,
330
00:18:27,340 --> 00:18:30,352
but I keep telling myself
just to slow down,
331
00:18:30,376 --> 00:18:32,254
like, keep things
nice and simple right now,
332
00:18:32,278 --> 00:18:34,747
and just focus.
333
00:18:34,847 --> 00:18:36,391
Just got to
the first bit of mud,
334
00:18:36,415 --> 00:18:39,261
probably 50 meters away from
where I got dropped off.
335
00:18:39,285 --> 00:18:41,697
Bunch of tracks here.
336
00:18:41,721 --> 00:18:45,534
Best of all, caribou tracks.
337
00:18:45,558 --> 00:18:47,202
Right next to them
338
00:18:47,226 --> 00:18:49,237
are bear tracks.
339
00:18:49,261 --> 00:18:52,507
Not that fresh,
but fresh enough.
340
00:18:52,531 --> 00:18:53,976
I live in New Zealand.
341
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,901
I have zero experience
with grizzly bears.
342
00:19:00,373 --> 00:19:03,218
We shot a massive,
massive Chamois buck.
343
00:19:03,242 --> 00:19:05,621
The odds I was fighting
to even get a shot
344
00:19:05,645 --> 00:19:07,856
into this guy is just so lucky.
345
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:09,324
Super stoked.
346
00:19:09,348 --> 00:19:12,327
I was brought up in
New Zealand on a small farm.
347
00:19:12,351 --> 00:19:15,097
Just out here doing
a bit of daily exercise.
348
00:19:15,121 --> 00:19:16,698
I live on the West Coast
349
00:19:16,722 --> 00:19:19,434
of the South Island
of New Zealand.
350
00:19:19,458 --> 00:19:21,661
That's where I started
to just enjoy
351
00:19:21,761 --> 00:19:23,663
and appreciate the fresh air
352
00:19:23,763 --> 00:19:25,173
and the excitement of adventure.
353
00:19:25,197 --> 00:19:28,443
I probably spend close to 100
nights away from home hunting.
354
00:19:28,467 --> 00:19:32,104
I believe bow hunting is my
bread and butter, for sure.
355
00:19:32,204 --> 00:19:34,716
That's what I live for.
356
00:19:34,740 --> 00:19:38,020
I remember getting my first
compound bow when I was 13.
357
00:19:38,044 --> 00:19:39,554
I shot my first deer with it,
358
00:19:39,578 --> 00:19:42,357
and then it was just
a real floodgates open.
359
00:19:42,381 --> 00:19:44,693
I wanted to partake
in this competition
360
00:19:44,717 --> 00:19:46,495
to build my mental game.
361
00:19:46,519 --> 00:19:48,130
This is the perfect environment
362
00:19:48,154 --> 00:19:49,898
to push it
to the very, very edge.
363
00:19:49,922 --> 00:19:51,333
It's unreal.
364
00:19:51,357 --> 00:19:54,369
I've got an amazing view
of the mountains.
365
00:19:54,393 --> 00:19:56,538
I still live at home
with my parents,
366
00:19:56,562 --> 00:19:58,407
and they support me greatly.
367
00:19:58,431 --> 00:20:01,143
Having the chance to win
this large amount of money
368
00:20:01,167 --> 00:20:05,213
to help out my family...
that would be phenomenal.
369
00:20:05,237 --> 00:20:07,683
To represent New Zealand
on a world stage
370
00:20:07,707 --> 00:20:10,652
is definitely nothing
but excitement and pride.
371
00:20:10,676 --> 00:20:12,954
I believe
I've got more than enough
372
00:20:12,978 --> 00:20:16,014
of what it will take to be
the last person, for sure.
373
00:20:19,085 --> 00:20:20,553
I'll make some snares.
374
00:20:20,653 --> 00:20:24,232
And just trying to avoid
getting bitten by bugs
375
00:20:24,256 --> 00:20:27,159
or getting sun burnt
is today's task.
376
00:20:28,461 --> 00:20:31,540
One of the biggest priorities
of what I need to do,
377
00:20:31,564 --> 00:20:33,408
it's mainly food.
378
00:20:33,432 --> 00:20:34,976
It's a blue sky
and it's a beautiful day.
379
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:36,244
I'm not worried about rain.
380
00:20:36,268 --> 00:20:38,246
So instantly, I'm gonna go out
381
00:20:38,270 --> 00:20:40,205
and try to get something
for dinner tonight.
382
00:20:42,842 --> 00:20:45,721
My first bit of protein.
383
00:20:45,745 --> 00:20:47,622
A mosquito.
384
00:20:47,646 --> 00:20:50,125
Everything counts out here.
385
00:20:50,149 --> 00:20:53,462
I need to have as much food as
I possibly can because I know
386
00:20:53,486 --> 00:20:56,331
I'm gonna need quite
a lot to sustain myself,
387
00:20:56,355 --> 00:20:58,734
sustain my body to be here.
388
00:20:58,758 --> 00:21:01,269
Let the games begin,
389
00:21:01,293 --> 00:21:06,632
and let the hardest
here be crowned champion.
390
00:21:07,666 --> 00:21:11,537
Okay, maybe set out 20 or 30
snares just around here.
391
00:21:17,309 --> 00:21:18,477
I see something.
392
00:21:19,845 --> 00:21:22,748
Ptarmigan feeding
on the water's edge.
393
00:21:24,950 --> 00:21:26,161
No way.
394
00:21:26,185 --> 00:21:27,662
I'm gonna go put
a stalk on them.
395
00:21:27,686 --> 00:21:29,064
They definitely know I'm here.
396
00:21:29,088 --> 00:21:31,456
We'll see what I can do.
397
00:21:50,843 --> 00:21:51,844
Missed.
398
00:22:04,890 --> 00:22:06,958
Come on down, buddy.
399
00:22:11,163 --> 00:22:12,932
Got him.
400
00:22:14,333 --> 00:22:16,745
Well, that was rather exciting.
401
00:22:16,769 --> 00:22:19,171
I just headshot
my first ever grouse.
402
00:22:20,239 --> 00:22:23,618
Oh, man, I'm so excited.
403
00:22:23,642 --> 00:22:26,077
This place, this is gonna be it.
404
00:22:28,380 --> 00:22:30,583
Kind of means a lot
early on in the game.
405
00:22:30,683 --> 00:22:32,260
You know, it's only one bird,
406
00:22:32,284 --> 00:22:35,988
but now I've got feathers
to make lures and flies,
407
00:22:36,088 --> 00:22:37,966
bones to make needles,
408
00:22:37,990 --> 00:22:41,359
and a little bit of protein
for the next couple of days.
409
00:22:45,331 --> 00:22:46,432
Stoked.
410
00:22:47,566 --> 00:22:50,469
What a way to start
this competition off.
411
00:22:50,569 --> 00:22:52,571
Wow.
412
00:23:09,521 --> 00:23:11,123
Good morning.
413
00:23:13,559 --> 00:23:15,537
Took me a long time
to fall asleep
414
00:23:15,561 --> 00:23:17,763
because of my screw up
yesterday.
415
00:23:19,365 --> 00:23:20,666
Yeah, I...
416
00:23:20,766 --> 00:23:22,577
I'm trying to estimate
just how many fires
417
00:23:22,601 --> 00:23:25,037
I can start
with what I got left.
418
00:23:26,438 --> 00:23:28,607
I can start quite a few.
419
00:23:30,075 --> 00:23:32,111
One thing I gotta do is
420
00:23:32,211 --> 00:23:34,713
I'm not the best
friction fire starter.
421
00:23:35,948 --> 00:23:39,127
So I think today,
422
00:23:39,151 --> 00:23:41,029
today I'm gonna have to
work a little bit better
423
00:23:41,053 --> 00:23:44,823
on a shelter so I have
a really good area
424
00:23:44,924 --> 00:23:47,726
inside that shelter
to make fire.
425
00:23:48,761 --> 00:23:50,305
I thought my whole thing
out here
426
00:23:50,329 --> 00:23:54,342
would be food and shelter,
427
00:23:54,366 --> 00:23:57,835
but now fire becomes
just as important.
428
00:24:01,907 --> 00:24:04,275
God, I wish I wouldn't
have done that.
429
00:24:10,049 --> 00:24:12,827
I'm gonna move this stuff over,
clear this land,
430
00:24:12,851 --> 00:24:14,953
and just get started.
431
00:24:16,689 --> 00:24:18,099
For a permanent shelter,
432
00:24:18,123 --> 00:24:20,568
I've decided to build
a basic A-frame.
433
00:24:20,592 --> 00:24:22,294
Put my tarp over it,
434
00:24:22,394 --> 00:24:25,573
and I'll put logs and moss
on it after that.
435
00:24:25,597 --> 00:24:27,742
That will carry me through
436
00:24:27,766 --> 00:24:30,235
the really cold nights
that are gonna come.
437
00:24:31,870 --> 00:24:36,040
I'm gonna start
collecting some poles.
438
00:24:38,077 --> 00:24:40,980
I have done enough exploring
439
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,048
that I know I have
good resources here.
440
00:24:45,718 --> 00:24:48,387
There's some swamps
upriver from me.
441
00:24:48,487 --> 00:24:50,799
There's dense willow patches.
442
00:24:50,823 --> 00:24:53,134
Those are the type of areas
that I'm gonna have
443
00:24:53,158 --> 00:24:55,804
the opportunity to set snares.
444
00:24:55,828 --> 00:24:59,174
I want to build a good base
for me to sleep in,
445
00:24:59,198 --> 00:25:03,234
then I'll be a lot more
serious about hunting stuff.
446
00:25:05,371 --> 00:25:07,406
Aww, damn it.
447
00:25:09,375 --> 00:25:12,721
This is like being on
"The Truman Show."
448
00:25:12,745 --> 00:25:15,546
You know, like, ooh,
everyone's watching me.
449
00:25:17,683 --> 00:25:20,118
Everybody's seeing my mistakes.
450
00:25:21,954 --> 00:25:25,166
We're making plenty of them,
I guess.
451
00:25:25,190 --> 00:25:27,459
I know there's people
at home that'll judge me
452
00:25:27,559 --> 00:25:30,205
for the mistake that I made
with my ferro rod.
453
00:25:30,229 --> 00:25:32,998
I'll beat myself up enough.
454
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,435
Slow progress.
455
00:25:39,171 --> 00:25:41,516
Growing up, I was a wrestler.
456
00:25:41,540 --> 00:25:42,884
You walk out there
in a wrestling match
457
00:25:42,908 --> 00:25:44,219
and you're gonna
shake the guy's hand
458
00:25:44,243 --> 00:25:45,711
and the goal is to pin him,
459
00:25:45,811 --> 00:25:48,356
but sometimes you find
yourself on your back.
460
00:25:48,380 --> 00:25:50,783
You have to take a deep breath
and you say,
461
00:25:50,883 --> 00:25:53,161
okay, now it's time to wrestle.
462
00:25:53,185 --> 00:25:55,563
And that's the same thing
out here.
463
00:25:55,587 --> 00:25:58,099
Things are not
gonna go smoothly.
464
00:25:58,123 --> 00:26:00,568
That will definitely work.
465
00:26:00,592 --> 00:26:02,971
Every one of us, me especially,
466
00:26:02,995 --> 00:26:04,963
are going to make mistakes.
467
00:26:06,498 --> 00:26:07,809
Put the rest of my stuff in here
468
00:26:07,833 --> 00:26:11,136
and let's go for a short walk.
469
00:26:13,605 --> 00:26:16,441
I've seen beaver sign
on the edges of the river.
470
00:26:18,210 --> 00:26:21,022
I can't light a fire until
I have a large amount of food
471
00:26:21,046 --> 00:26:22,490
because I'm only
gonna be able to light
472
00:26:22,514 --> 00:26:25,951
so many fires with what
I got left of my ferro rod.
473
00:26:26,952 --> 00:26:28,997
What's going on here?
474
00:26:29,021 --> 00:26:31,833
If I can catch this beaver,
I can smoke it
475
00:26:31,857 --> 00:26:34,102
and have food for several weeks.
476
00:26:34,126 --> 00:26:36,104
You see where
he's coming up here.
477
00:26:36,128 --> 00:26:39,107
He goes right through here.
478
00:26:39,131 --> 00:26:41,376
Then I can work on my shelter,
479
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,470
practice with a bow and drill
and get better at it.
480
00:26:44,570 --> 00:26:47,382
I just need to tie it down.
481
00:26:47,406 --> 00:26:50,209
And then I can really
make a run out here.
482
00:26:51,443 --> 00:26:54,289
We've got a pretty
easy spot to snare.
483
00:26:54,313 --> 00:26:58,916
Pretty cool if I could catch a
good-sized beaver and smoke it.
484
00:27:10,496 --> 00:27:12,574
Yesterday, I shot a grouse,
485
00:27:12,598 --> 00:27:15,743
and instantly I can use
the grouse guts for bait,
486
00:27:15,767 --> 00:27:17,479
which is great.
487
00:27:17,503 --> 00:27:22,217
These are my assorted
fishing hooks.
488
00:27:22,241 --> 00:27:25,653
So I'm gonna put
a wire leader on it.
489
00:27:25,677 --> 00:27:29,157
Just play it safe starting off
if I catch a pike.
490
00:27:29,181 --> 00:27:31,617
Okay. All right.
491
00:27:31,717 --> 00:27:34,786
My strategy for gaining food
is gonna be a blend
492
00:27:34,887 --> 00:27:37,098
of fishing and hunting
493
00:27:37,122 --> 00:27:38,857
and seeing which ones
494
00:27:38,957 --> 00:27:41,302
are gonna be the most lucrative.
495
00:27:41,326 --> 00:27:44,772
I'm putting energy
into trying to explore
496
00:27:44,796 --> 00:27:47,798
every sort of nook and cranny
of my block.
497
00:27:50,402 --> 00:27:53,104
We're about to be in
a beaver scrap.
498
00:28:10,189 --> 00:28:11,799
Crazy.
499
00:28:11,823 --> 00:28:14,135
Definitely mapping out
my area in my head.
500
00:28:14,159 --> 00:28:16,771
I'm seeing great potential
501
00:28:16,795 --> 00:28:20,408
for what I think I need
to win this competition.
502
00:28:20,432 --> 00:28:22,610
I've just walked to
a new point here.
503
00:28:22,634 --> 00:28:24,937
This lake looks phenomenal.
504
00:28:31,310 --> 00:28:35,023
I'm just gonna use a float
out of some bark.
505
00:28:35,047 --> 00:28:36,224
All right.
506
00:28:36,248 --> 00:28:39,561
First cast in
the Northwest Territories.
507
00:28:39,585 --> 00:28:42,730
I'm feeling quite at home
in this location.
508
00:28:42,754 --> 00:28:44,532
It doesn't feel like
I shouldn't be here,
509
00:28:44,556 --> 00:28:46,725
and it's really comforting.
510
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,505
I've got fresh water,
good-looking lake
511
00:28:50,529 --> 00:28:52,173
that I'll be able to go fishing
512
00:28:52,197 --> 00:28:54,943
within five minutes' walk.
513
00:28:54,967 --> 00:28:56,702
I don't think there's
much else I could
514
00:28:56,802 --> 00:28:59,637
be asking for in a location.
515
00:29:06,445 --> 00:29:09,113
day two.
516
00:29:12,884 --> 00:29:14,696
Wow. My first ever pike.
517
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,165
I've never even seen
a pike in real life.
518
00:29:17,189 --> 00:29:20,158
It's a tiny one,
but it'll be dinner.
519
00:29:21,526 --> 00:29:24,263
Hey, beauty.
520
00:29:24,363 --> 00:29:26,197
This place is good.
521
00:29:28,867 --> 00:29:31,179
Pretty amazing turn of events.
522
00:29:31,203 --> 00:29:34,773
These guts are working
a wonder on the pike.
523
00:29:36,074 --> 00:29:37,876
Many more to come.
524
00:29:42,648 --> 00:29:45,082
Holy ,
there's a moose over there.
525
00:29:47,085 --> 00:29:50,289
You won't be able to see it,
but it's over on that beach.
526
00:29:51,356 --> 00:29:53,324
It's moving pretty quick.
527
00:29:56,061 --> 00:29:57,939
I'm gonna wade across
this channel.
528
00:29:57,963 --> 00:30:01,032
It's just on the other side of
this island here, over there.
529
00:30:07,072 --> 00:30:09,083
Getting a moose
is super important
530
00:30:09,107 --> 00:30:11,519
to stay here for a long time.
531
00:30:11,543 --> 00:30:14,889
Being able to tap into a large
amount of its fat stores,
532
00:30:14,913 --> 00:30:17,715
I could just hang out
here forever.
533
00:30:22,721 --> 00:30:25,589
It's pretty deep over there.
534
00:30:36,268 --> 00:30:38,413
The wind's perfect.
535
00:30:38,437 --> 00:30:39,603
I'll put my pants on.
536
00:30:47,279 --> 00:30:48,647
Holy .
537
00:30:50,248 --> 00:30:52,683
That thing's huge.
538
00:31:21,113 --> 00:31:23,925
Wow.
539
00:31:23,949 --> 00:31:27,862
I could have taken a long shot,
540
00:31:27,886 --> 00:31:30,298
but I decided not to.
541
00:31:30,322 --> 00:31:32,524
I just don't wanna
wound something out here.
542
00:31:33,558 --> 00:31:35,203
No point. It's only day two.
543
00:31:35,227 --> 00:31:37,205
It's still so hot.
544
00:31:37,229 --> 00:31:39,997
And that moose will live
for another day.
545
00:31:41,967 --> 00:31:43,811
So cool.
546
00:31:43,835 --> 00:31:46,381
She could see me the whole time.
547
00:31:46,405 --> 00:31:48,349
A little bit too far.
548
00:31:48,373 --> 00:31:50,685
Yeah, anyway,
549
00:31:50,709 --> 00:31:52,954
I caught my first Northern pike
550
00:31:52,978 --> 00:31:55,947
and I saw my first ever
Canadian Moose.
551
00:31:56,047 --> 00:31:57,549
What a day.
552
00:32:15,834 --> 00:32:18,003
.
553
00:32:22,874 --> 00:32:24,276
Screw you guys!
554
00:32:25,644 --> 00:32:27,855
What are you going to do now,
555
00:32:27,879 --> 00:32:30,858
black flies?
556
00:32:30,882 --> 00:32:33,285
You can't get me.
557
00:32:35,854 --> 00:32:37,932
But I also don't see much.
558
00:32:37,956 --> 00:32:39,867
It's... yeah.
559
00:32:39,891 --> 00:32:42,661
Welcome to the North.
560
00:32:42,761 --> 00:32:46,964
If you like black flies,
you will definitely enjoy here.
561
00:32:50,235 --> 00:32:53,848
Okay, now it's about food.
562
00:32:53,872 --> 00:32:57,418
So putting a lot of snares.
563
00:32:57,442 --> 00:32:59,887
I know that in long term,
564
00:32:59,911 --> 00:33:01,980
this is some kind
of hunger game.
565
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,625
So getting food
as soon as possible
566
00:33:04,649 --> 00:33:07,284
is very important for survival.
567
00:33:09,621 --> 00:33:11,699
That looks nice.
568
00:33:11,723 --> 00:33:13,968
Okay.
569
00:33:13,992 --> 00:33:18,906
So my food strategy is mostly
passive, because basically,
570
00:33:18,930 --> 00:33:21,175
I'm not a hunter.
571
00:33:21,199 --> 00:33:22,376
Nice one.
572
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,745
I'm not really aiming
for big game
573
00:33:24,769 --> 00:33:27,105
unless it comes and I see it,
574
00:33:27,205 --> 00:33:29,083
or I see very obvious footprints
575
00:33:29,107 --> 00:33:30,718
and I might follow it.
576
00:33:30,742 --> 00:33:33,888
But I won't spend too much
time on active hunting.
577
00:33:33,912 --> 00:33:36,081
I don't want to waste
too much energy.
578
00:33:39,951 --> 00:33:44,131
So snares are for sure
a very good way to get meat.
579
00:33:44,155 --> 00:33:46,267
It's just good enough.
580
00:33:46,291 --> 00:33:49,828
Okay, done with snaring.
581
00:33:49,928 --> 00:33:51,563
Everything looks good.
582
00:34:01,006 --> 00:34:03,651
Definitely this is not a place
for permanent shelter.
583
00:34:03,675 --> 00:34:04,619
No way.
584
00:34:04,643 --> 00:34:07,288
It's super nice, panorama view.
585
00:34:07,312 --> 00:34:09,323
Look at these guys.
586
00:34:09,347 --> 00:34:10,825
The problem is,
587
00:34:10,849 --> 00:34:13,294
it's facing west.
588
00:34:13,318 --> 00:34:15,162
Especially later in winter,
589
00:34:15,186 --> 00:34:19,133
sun is gonna be very low
behind these mountains.
590
00:34:19,157 --> 00:34:23,037
The only option
is to go more south.
591
00:34:23,061 --> 00:34:25,740
Another thing is,
the longer I'm here,
592
00:34:25,764 --> 00:34:27,375
the more snares
there will be out,
593
00:34:27,399 --> 00:34:29,577
and I will have
to move all of them.
594
00:34:29,601 --> 00:34:32,980
So I think it's
the sooner the better.
595
00:34:33,004 --> 00:34:35,682
My plan was first
to move after a week,
596
00:34:35,706 --> 00:34:38,686
but I realized it's better
to move as soon as possible,
597
00:34:38,710 --> 00:34:40,887
because you're
investing your time
598
00:34:40,911 --> 00:34:43,190
to set up snares,
599
00:34:43,214 --> 00:34:45,092
fish spring pools,
and all other stuff.
600
00:34:45,116 --> 00:34:46,751
It's a lot of energy.
601
00:34:46,851 --> 00:34:48,996
So it's very important to find
602
00:34:49,020 --> 00:34:52,323
optimal permanent location
quickly.
603
00:34:54,326 --> 00:34:56,604
It's gonna be
definitely a challenge
604
00:34:56,628 --> 00:35:01,142
because it's super difficult
to pass this terrain.
605
00:35:01,166 --> 00:35:03,735
I don't like
too much what I see here.
606
00:35:03,835 --> 00:35:06,538
We are on the edge
of taiga forest.
607
00:35:06,638 --> 00:35:10,308
It's muddy, swampy,
super thick vegetation.
608
00:35:10,408 --> 00:35:12,219
This is the reason why,
historically,
609
00:35:12,243 --> 00:35:14,778
not many people lived out here.
610
00:35:21,519 --> 00:35:25,223
It's so important that you
have easy access to water,
611
00:35:25,323 --> 00:35:27,702
to berries, a fishing spot,
612
00:35:27,726 --> 00:35:29,971
or location where
you can put snares.
613
00:35:29,995 --> 00:35:32,139
So there are many,
many different things
614
00:35:32,163 --> 00:35:35,376
which is difficult to find.
615
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:36,811
Quite exhausted.
616
00:35:36,835 --> 00:35:38,269
Very long walk.
617
00:35:39,471 --> 00:35:42,316
But I think
it's worth the effort
618
00:35:42,340 --> 00:35:45,542
because it makes a difference
on the long run.
619
00:35:55,387 --> 00:35:57,055
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
620
00:36:23,448 --> 00:36:26,293
Oh, you know, guys,
this looks like
621
00:36:26,317 --> 00:36:29,287
a location
for permanent shelter.
622
00:37:02,220 --> 00:37:05,132
Season 13 temporary cribs.
623
00:37:05,156 --> 00:37:08,703
This is my sick house for
624
00:37:08,727 --> 00:37:11,328
hopefully no longer than a week.
625
00:37:13,865 --> 00:37:16,010
And the inside.
626
00:37:16,034 --> 00:37:18,035
Bed right here.
627
00:37:19,804 --> 00:37:22,183
Pack right there.
628
00:37:22,207 --> 00:37:25,086
Try to close this up
629
00:37:25,110 --> 00:37:27,912
so these bugs
don't get me.
630
00:37:28,012 --> 00:37:30,348
So yeah, today's agenda is
631
00:37:30,448 --> 00:37:32,951
get to work on
my permanent shelter.
632
00:37:44,329 --> 00:37:46,841
Yeah, I like it here.
It's nice and mossy.
633
00:37:46,865 --> 00:37:49,176
Lots to work with.
634
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,069
So we just gotta get some...
635
00:37:51,169 --> 00:37:53,614
we need six skinny poles.
636
00:37:53,638 --> 00:37:56,917
Okay, let's get after it.
637
00:37:56,941 --> 00:38:00,988
My strategy is to get my
shelter built right away.
638
00:38:01,012 --> 00:38:03,324
This looks like work.
639
00:38:03,348 --> 00:38:08,429
Then I can focus on hunting,
fishing, and acquiring food.
640
00:38:08,453 --> 00:38:10,531
Timber.
641
00:38:10,555 --> 00:38:12,399
I'm gonna make a log cabin.
642
00:38:12,423 --> 00:38:15,926
It's a hybrid lean-to,
just built out of logs.
643
00:38:20,732 --> 00:38:26,013
I need to harvest a bunch of
logs about 8 to 10 feet long,
644
00:38:26,037 --> 00:38:29,250
and I'll stack them high
on one side,
645
00:38:29,274 --> 00:38:31,886
make a roof down to a low side,
646
00:38:31,910 --> 00:38:34,312
and then just put the walls up.
647
00:38:36,114 --> 00:38:37,958
This shelter is gonna be
a lot of hard work.
648
00:38:37,982 --> 00:38:40,895
It's gonna take a lot of energy.
649
00:38:40,919 --> 00:38:45,322
But I believe that it will be
beneficial in the long run.
650
00:38:46,791 --> 00:38:49,170
I plan on staying out here
for a very long time,
651
00:38:49,194 --> 00:38:51,663
so I want something
that's out of the weather.
652
00:38:51,763 --> 00:38:53,808
I want something that
will keep me warm during
653
00:38:53,832 --> 00:38:56,668
the cold months
and feels like home.
654
00:38:58,069 --> 00:39:01,549
Oh, my goodness.
655
00:39:01,573 --> 00:39:04,051
We are eating,
ladies and gentlemen.
656
00:39:04,075 --> 00:39:06,220
Growing up on a small
hobby farm, my childhood,
657
00:39:06,244 --> 00:39:07,688
a lot of it was hard work.
658
00:39:07,712 --> 00:39:09,957
There's another
good chunk of meat.
659
00:39:09,981 --> 00:39:11,725
My dad was an avid outdoorsman.
660
00:39:11,749 --> 00:39:13,460
My grandpa as well.
661
00:39:13,484 --> 00:39:16,497
Every weekend, we were
camping, hunting, fishing.
662
00:39:16,521 --> 00:39:18,022
Oh, yeah. Nice fish.
663
00:39:18,122 --> 00:39:20,225
I've killed
many moose in my day.
664
00:39:21,726 --> 00:39:24,839
My top three survival skills
is definitely hunting...
665
00:39:24,863 --> 00:39:26,097
Oh, bullseye.
666
00:39:26,197 --> 00:39:29,210
Mental toughness,
and then bush craft.
667
00:39:29,234 --> 00:39:30,444
Yeah, these feel good.
668
00:39:30,468 --> 00:39:31,946
You know, I fought
mixed martial arts.
669
00:39:31,970 --> 00:39:33,047
I've played rugby.
670
00:39:33,071 --> 00:39:34,448
I've played pretty crazy sports.
671
00:39:34,472 --> 00:39:37,852
And this is the scariest,
hardest,
672
00:39:37,876 --> 00:39:40,654
craziest thing a person can do.
673
00:39:40,678 --> 00:39:42,690
This season's
definitely different,
674
00:39:42,714 --> 00:39:46,427
especially it being the World
Championship in my country.
675
00:39:46,451 --> 00:39:48,529
So there's added pressure there.
676
00:39:48,553 --> 00:39:51,332
Push her into the snow.
She's working.
677
00:39:51,356 --> 00:39:54,025
I will show how gritty
and tough Canadians are.
678
00:39:55,994 --> 00:39:59,406
And not go down easy or at all.
679
00:39:59,430 --> 00:40:01,008
See you later.
680
00:40:01,032 --> 00:40:03,010
Good luck to ya.
681
00:40:03,034 --> 00:40:05,045
In about 90 to 100 days,
682
00:40:05,069 --> 00:40:07,748
I'm gonna be the winner
of season 13 of "Alone."
683
00:40:07,772 --> 00:40:08,749
That's me.
684
00:40:08,773 --> 00:40:10,184
Buh-buh bye!
685
00:40:10,208 --> 00:40:11,508
Bye.
686
00:40:13,678 --> 00:40:16,347
Hard work out here logging.
687
00:40:18,716 --> 00:40:21,686
It'll be worth it,
though, I tell you.
688
00:40:25,590 --> 00:40:27,926
I don't know if you're
gonna see anything, but...
689
00:40:33,498 --> 00:40:36,443
I wanted to try to get
some fish lines in the water
690
00:40:36,467 --> 00:40:38,479
so I can have some
passive fishing
691
00:40:38,503 --> 00:40:40,848
while I build my shelter,
692
00:40:40,872 --> 00:40:43,106
but I don't have bait.
693
00:40:44,642 --> 00:40:46,311
I need this squirrel.
694
00:40:57,956 --> 00:41:01,525
Man, I haven't missed
like that in years.
695
00:41:11,202 --> 00:41:13,070
Oh, my God, Aaron.
696
00:41:17,275 --> 00:41:19,776
What the ?
697
00:41:31,923 --> 00:41:35,727
I'm so disappointed in myself.
698
00:41:38,229 --> 00:41:41,566
Oh, my God, I can't believe
I just did that.
699
00:41:43,234 --> 00:41:45,803
I don't know how they missed.
700
00:41:50,008 --> 00:41:51,843
That's embarrassing.
701
00:41:53,211 --> 00:41:55,446
I'm gonna be looking for arrows.
702
00:41:57,482 --> 00:42:00,651
Holy jeez, Aaron,
you're so dumb.
703
00:42:13,965 --> 00:42:16,844
Oh, guys.
704
00:42:16,868 --> 00:42:20,304
You must be kidding me.
705
00:42:20,405 --> 00:42:22,373
We have a bunny.
706
00:42:23,307 --> 00:42:25,143
Oh, man.
707
00:42:25,243 --> 00:42:27,254
That's really nice catch, actually.
708
00:42:27,278 --> 00:42:28,612
Thank you, bunny.
709
00:42:31,349 --> 00:42:33,260
Oh.
710
00:42:33,284 --> 00:42:35,152
What a cutie.
711
00:42:37,155 --> 00:42:41,335
I knew that snaring
is gonna be very important,
712
00:42:41,359 --> 00:42:44,772
so I'm really happy
to have my first hare.
713
00:42:44,796 --> 00:42:48,142
But I'm not gonna cook it
right now because
714
00:42:48,166 --> 00:42:52,446
today I'm moving everything
to another location.
715
00:42:52,470 --> 00:42:54,581
Bunny.
716
00:42:54,605 --> 00:42:57,818
They're quite small, actually.
717
00:42:57,842 --> 00:43:00,220
But seems quite fatty.
718
00:43:00,244 --> 00:43:02,747
Big belly.
719
00:43:02,847 --> 00:43:05,692
Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam.
720
00:43:05,716 --> 00:43:09,754
Tomorrow, there's gonna be
a rabbit soup.
721
00:43:14,792 --> 00:43:17,237
I have to move all this stuff
722
00:43:17,261 --> 00:43:19,640
and I'm glad that I'm moving
as soon as possible
723
00:43:19,664 --> 00:43:21,809
because later on,
I would have only
724
00:43:21,833 --> 00:43:24,000
more and more things to move.
725
00:43:31,042 --> 00:43:32,710
That's it.
726
00:43:32,810 --> 00:43:35,422
I'm leaving my camp to move
727
00:43:35,446 --> 00:43:37,281
to a new location.
728
00:43:39,117 --> 00:43:41,295
Here we go again.
729
00:43:41,319 --> 00:43:43,954
Very long walk.
730
00:43:55,032 --> 00:43:58,102
Not too many
more trees to cut down.
731
00:43:58,202 --> 00:44:01,671
Put in a lot of hard work,
so hopefully it pays off.
732
00:44:05,643 --> 00:44:07,778
'Cause if it doesn't...
733
00:44:10,548 --> 00:44:12,693
No such thing as it doesn't.
734
00:44:12,717 --> 00:44:14,952
It will work.
735
00:44:15,052 --> 00:44:17,321
Hard work pays off always.
736
00:44:27,031 --> 00:44:30,010
Man, if I had that squirrel
right now, we'd be fishing.
737
00:44:30,034 --> 00:44:32,379
Such a dummy.
738
00:44:32,403 --> 00:44:34,381
Got a couple snares out now.
739
00:44:34,405 --> 00:44:36,174
Hopefully acquire
some food that way.
740
00:44:36,274 --> 00:44:39,243
If not, we're just gonna
fast another day.
741
00:44:40,711 --> 00:44:43,290
Longest I've ever fasted,
ten days.
742
00:44:43,314 --> 00:44:45,058
Don't wanna do it again.
743
00:44:45,082 --> 00:44:49,496
But if I can't get a squirrel
or anything else to get fish,
744
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:51,965
we're doing another day.
745
00:44:51,989 --> 00:44:54,368
It started to rain.
It's good enough.
746
00:44:54,392 --> 00:44:56,760
So I'm gonna get
everything under there.
747
00:45:01,599 --> 00:45:05,269
Gonna be a sick little home
for 90 days.
748
00:45:18,549 --> 00:45:19,893
It sounded close,
so I'm gonna go in there
749
00:45:19,917 --> 00:45:22,152
and try to get him.
750
00:45:33,397 --> 00:45:35,266
There he is.
751
00:45:35,366 --> 00:45:37,377
Right there.
752
00:45:37,401 --> 00:45:38,469
Too high.
753
00:45:40,304 --> 00:45:42,416
I need to start taking
responsible shots
754
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:46,019
and not shooting when
the squirrel's in the trees.
755
00:45:46,043 --> 00:45:49,112
I can't just be
losing my arrows.
756
00:45:51,449 --> 00:45:54,752
One more shot.
Please, give me one more shot.
757
00:45:55,953 --> 00:45:58,189
I promise I won't miss.
758
00:46:08,599 --> 00:46:10,234
Oh, my God.
759
00:46:21,078 --> 00:46:24,148
Oh, this squirrel's
been my nemesis.
760
00:46:27,952 --> 00:46:29,296
Sorry, little buddy.
761
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:31,531
Had to be done.
762
00:46:31,555 --> 00:46:35,191
And now we can get
some fish lines in.
763
00:46:41,666 --> 00:46:43,810
This is huge getting
a squirrel today.
764
00:46:43,834 --> 00:46:45,812
Now I got bait
for my fish lines,
765
00:46:45,836 --> 00:46:48,672
and hopefully they'll
start pulling in fish.
766
00:46:50,708 --> 00:46:54,221
So I'm gonna just get
some tall, thicker willows
767
00:46:54,245 --> 00:46:56,046
or alder.
768
00:46:58,316 --> 00:47:02,462
Just making a notch in the
tree so that the line can sit.
769
00:47:02,486 --> 00:47:07,401
And then I'll tie some fish
line on it, probably 50 feet.
770
00:47:07,425 --> 00:47:09,894
Put a hook on the end
that I can put bait on,
771
00:47:09,994 --> 00:47:11,772
and put a weight
on each of them.
772
00:47:11,796 --> 00:47:13,897
Get her swinging.
773
00:47:19,170 --> 00:47:22,005
I'll get like six lines
up and down.
774
00:47:24,241 --> 00:47:26,476
Get out of here, rain.
775
00:47:33,284 --> 00:47:35,495
If I can start hauling in fish,
I'm telling you,
776
00:47:35,519 --> 00:47:37,097
I won't be going home.
777
00:47:37,121 --> 00:47:40,790
But right now,
the moose hunting begins.
778
00:47:56,874 --> 00:47:59,009
It's so quiet right now.
779
00:48:00,077 --> 00:48:03,724
That moose call
should carry a long way.
780
00:48:03,748 --> 00:48:06,927
But I don't know if moose
call much around here
781
00:48:06,951 --> 00:48:09,420
because of all
the grizzlies and wolves.
782
00:48:13,891 --> 00:48:16,169
I'm gonna keep walking.
783
00:48:16,193 --> 00:48:20,807
My hunting strategy is
to find a big game animal.
784
00:48:20,831 --> 00:48:22,409
Moose, caribou.
785
00:48:22,433 --> 00:48:25,812
I carry my bow with me
at all times.
786
00:48:25,836 --> 00:48:29,383
I'm just looking on both sides.
787
00:48:29,407 --> 00:48:33,086
Looking for sign,
looking for anything.
788
00:48:33,110 --> 00:48:35,846
It'll be exciting to see
some fresh moose tracks.
789
00:48:37,248 --> 00:48:39,326
I'd rather not see grizzly.
790
00:48:39,350 --> 00:48:41,962
As I walk, I always call,
just because
791
00:48:41,986 --> 00:48:44,931
it's getting close
to prime time moose hunting.
792
00:48:44,955 --> 00:48:48,001
And once the rut comes
into full effect,
793
00:48:48,025 --> 00:48:49,794
I'm gonna harvest a moose.
794
00:48:51,195 --> 00:48:53,630
See, here's those tracks.
795
00:49:12,516 --> 00:49:14,651
What the hell is that?
796
00:49:40,878 --> 00:49:43,714
That was definitely something.
797
00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:50,931
That's the problem
with calling moose.
798
00:49:50,955 --> 00:49:52,856
You call grizzlies too.
799
00:50:06,837 --> 00:50:09,850
I don't like that.
800
00:50:09,874 --> 00:50:13,042
Let's give it a minute
to walk away.
801
00:50:18,716 --> 00:50:20,727
Definitely wasn't a moose.
802
00:50:20,751 --> 00:50:24,397
So either a wolf or a bear.
803
00:50:24,421 --> 00:50:26,990
So I'm just sitting here
on the bank waiting.
804
00:50:44,275 --> 00:50:46,543
it. Let's go.
805
00:50:48,078 --> 00:50:51,291
Hopefully it wandered off
after it got my scent.
806
00:50:51,315 --> 00:50:53,950
I can sneak behind it
and get back to my camp.
807
00:50:58,756 --> 00:51:01,558
If not, we're gonna have a duel.
808
00:51:03,394 --> 00:51:06,172
Here we go,
ladies and gentlemen.
809
00:51:06,196 --> 00:51:09,033
Loaded.
810
00:51:09,133 --> 00:51:11,678
Just getting
all my weapons ready.
811
00:51:11,702 --> 00:51:14,180
Bear spray's got the lid off.
812
00:51:14,204 --> 00:51:16,816
Bear banger's loaded.
813
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:18,818
Air horn.
814
00:51:18,842 --> 00:51:21,454
And that's all I have.
815
00:51:21,478 --> 00:51:23,290
I've been charged by bears.
816
00:51:23,314 --> 00:51:25,058
I've seen big grizzly bears.
817
00:51:25,082 --> 00:51:27,327
I've been real close to them,
818
00:51:27,351 --> 00:51:29,930
and I don't wanna
be around them.
819
00:51:29,954 --> 00:51:32,656
There's some bear .
820
00:51:32,756 --> 00:51:35,902
So I will be cautious and
move properly around them
821
00:51:35,926 --> 00:51:38,963
and do the smart thing.
822
00:51:47,104 --> 00:51:50,673
Getting close
to where the action is.
823
00:51:53,210 --> 00:51:55,055
On this episode of "Alone,"
824
00:51:55,079 --> 00:51:57,891
watch how Aaron
825
00:51:57,915 --> 00:52:00,750
gets eaten by a bear.
826
00:52:04,722 --> 00:52:08,925
jumping in that river
if it really gets after me.
827
00:52:20,838 --> 00:52:22,539
What a loser I am.
828
00:52:25,676 --> 00:52:28,088
Hilarious.
829
00:52:28,112 --> 00:52:30,657
Now, where did he go?
830
00:52:30,681 --> 00:52:32,983
Let's follow his tracks again.
831
00:52:33,083 --> 00:52:35,252
He went up here.
832
00:52:39,156 --> 00:52:40,734
Probably swam back in the water.
833
00:52:40,758 --> 00:52:41,759
I don't know.
834
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:44,862
That's so funny.
835
00:52:44,962 --> 00:52:47,974
I was ready to spray a bear,
shoot a bear banger,
836
00:52:47,998 --> 00:52:51,244
had my horn ready to go.
837
00:52:51,268 --> 00:52:52,936
It's a beaver.
838
00:52:56,840 --> 00:52:58,942
That's the problem with
not having binos,
839
00:52:59,043 --> 00:53:01,821
and having eyesight.
840
00:53:01,845 --> 00:53:03,680
Let's get back to camp.
841
00:53:10,287 --> 00:53:12,955
All my fishing lines are in.
842
00:53:15,926 --> 00:53:17,960
Holy , got a fish.
843
00:53:30,274 --> 00:53:32,642
Oh, no, no, no.
844
00:53:40,150 --> 00:53:42,862
Holy , what a .
845
00:53:42,886 --> 00:53:45,065
Sorry about the language.
846
00:53:45,089 --> 00:53:47,524
Holy macaroni.
847
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:52,462
We just caught Moby Dick.
848
00:54:01,972 --> 00:54:03,507
Yeah, buddy.
849
00:54:04,675 --> 00:54:06,810
What a tank.
850
00:54:12,716 --> 00:54:14,685
Thank you, squirrel.
851
00:54:15,652 --> 00:54:18,722
Holy Toledo.
852
00:54:21,925 --> 00:54:23,594
That's a pig.
853
00:54:26,396 --> 00:54:29,700
Hoo-hoo, first fish, baby.
854
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:32,979
Oh, we can breathe
a sigh of relief
855
00:54:33,003 --> 00:54:34,204
and eat.
856
00:54:35,806 --> 00:54:37,174
Yes!
857
00:54:50,888 --> 00:54:52,932
Oh, well...
858
00:54:52,956 --> 00:54:54,467
ha, I start everything
with "well."
859
00:54:54,491 --> 00:54:56,136
Okay.
860
00:54:56,160 --> 00:54:58,905
I'll try not to start
with "well" every time.
861
00:54:58,929 --> 00:55:00,197
Okay.
862
00:55:01,598 --> 00:55:04,535
So...
863
00:55:04,635 --> 00:55:06,103
That's another one.
How do you start?
864
00:55:06,203 --> 00:55:07,671
You can't just start, can you?
865
00:55:07,771 --> 00:55:10,007
You just have to
say "well" or "so."
866
00:55:12,843 --> 00:55:15,321
Today I'm feeling pretty good,
867
00:55:15,345 --> 00:55:17,357
despite having
not eaten anything.
868
00:55:17,381 --> 00:55:19,416
But I do have to start
looking for food.
869
00:55:19,516 --> 00:55:21,752
I made up some snares,
so I'm gonna make a start
870
00:55:21,852 --> 00:55:25,465
on my trap line,
get those calories in.
871
00:55:25,489 --> 00:55:27,724
So wish me luck.
872
00:55:31,195 --> 00:55:33,039
You can't go into
an environment like this
873
00:55:33,063 --> 00:55:35,208
and just sit down and hope
everything's gonna be good.
874
00:55:35,232 --> 00:55:36,609
Your shelter's not
gonna build itself.
875
00:55:36,633 --> 00:55:38,411
Your fire's not gonna
light itself.
876
00:55:38,435 --> 00:55:40,847
I need to go forward
and deal with the things
877
00:55:40,871 --> 00:55:43,082
that need to be done
practically.
878
00:55:43,106 --> 00:55:46,186
This is a spot with
a lot of hare activity,
879
00:55:46,210 --> 00:55:49,856
but there's no obvious place
to put a snare, so...
880
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:52,091
All the trees are
very widely spaced,
881
00:55:52,115 --> 00:55:54,985
so it doesn't make sense
to put a normal snare here.
882
00:55:55,085 --> 00:55:58,422
So what I'm gonna do instead
883
00:55:58,522 --> 00:56:01,768
is build a hare trap.
884
00:56:01,792 --> 00:56:03,527
Probably best if I show you.
885
00:56:04,728 --> 00:56:07,207
I am focusing my attention
on snaring.
886
00:56:07,231 --> 00:56:09,809
I'm seeing a lot of sign
of smaller game.
887
00:56:09,833 --> 00:56:12,378
There's rabbit droppings.
888
00:56:12,402 --> 00:56:16,006
Just got my four cross members.
889
00:56:17,841 --> 00:56:20,420
This is a multi-phased game.
890
00:56:20,444 --> 00:56:22,455
In the early stages,
the priority
891
00:56:22,479 --> 00:56:25,115
has to be to keep
my calorific intake up.
892
00:56:26,516 --> 00:56:29,929
Our first beam at this point.
893
00:56:29,953 --> 00:56:31,931
The early part of this,
I'm expecting to be busy.
894
00:56:31,955 --> 00:56:33,199
I'm gonna be building
my shelter.
895
00:56:33,223 --> 00:56:34,267
I'm gonna be fishing.
896
00:56:34,291 --> 00:56:35,535
I'm gonna be foraging,
897
00:56:35,559 --> 00:56:38,571
hopefully hunting
some big game as well.
898
00:56:38,595 --> 00:56:40,540
And then as it gets much colder,
899
00:56:40,564 --> 00:56:42,609
the resources
become more scarce,
900
00:56:42,633 --> 00:56:46,069
I will be conserving
a lot of my energy.
901
00:56:46,169 --> 00:56:47,847
Now then, we need to block off
902
00:56:47,871 --> 00:56:49,673
all the alternative routes
into this
903
00:56:49,773 --> 00:56:53,186
so that they have to go
through the snares.
904
00:56:53,210 --> 00:56:56,222
The environment that I'm in
isn't quite the same
905
00:56:56,246 --> 00:56:58,892
as anywhere
I've ever been before.
906
00:56:58,916 --> 00:57:02,695
This is a whole different
world from what I'm used to.
907
00:57:02,719 --> 00:57:04,397
Wales is a very
temperate climate.
908
00:57:04,421 --> 00:57:07,391
It very rarely gets below zero.
909
00:57:11,561 --> 00:57:13,606
Okay.
910
00:57:13,630 --> 00:57:15,942
There we have
911
00:57:15,966 --> 00:57:18,945
our complete
912
00:57:18,969 --> 00:57:20,980
snare compound.
913
00:57:21,004 --> 00:57:24,050
This is Bannau Brycheiniog,
914
00:57:24,074 --> 00:57:25,652
or as it's known in English,
915
00:57:25,676 --> 00:57:28,321
the Brecon Beacons
National Park.
916
00:57:28,345 --> 00:57:30,781
I'm a professional
bush craft instructor.
917
00:57:30,881 --> 00:57:33,893
Okay, so I'm just gonna
set up my drill.
918
00:57:33,917 --> 00:57:36,362
I've always thought I'm kind
of a jack of all trades.
919
00:57:36,386 --> 00:57:39,032
My archery skills are solid.
920
00:57:39,056 --> 00:57:41,367
And I'm not too bad
at fishing as well.
921
00:57:41,391 --> 00:57:43,503
But I think my real advantage
is the fact that
922
00:57:43,527 --> 00:57:46,406
I've got a very
adaptable mindset,
923
00:57:46,430 --> 00:57:48,975
and I'm hoping to pull
all of that together
924
00:57:48,999 --> 00:57:51,377
into this environment
and make it work for me.
925
00:57:51,401 --> 00:57:52,812
Here we go.
926
00:57:52,836 --> 00:57:55,706
Being 51, I think now
I'm more methodical
927
00:57:55,806 --> 00:57:58,251
in the way I approach things.
928
00:57:58,275 --> 00:58:00,720
Some of the younger guys,
in a short-term situation,
929
00:58:00,744 --> 00:58:02,121
they're gonna outrun me.
930
00:58:02,145 --> 00:58:04,724
But I see this as more of
a hare and the tortoise,
931
00:58:04,748 --> 00:58:07,184
and I'm definitely
the tortoise in this game.
932
00:58:07,284 --> 00:58:09,062
So fire lighting with Ruby.
933
00:58:09,086 --> 00:58:11,097
Get that birch bark
shaved up root.
934
00:58:11,121 --> 00:58:12,823
Looking good.
935
00:58:12,923 --> 00:58:15,702
I think the biggest thing
I'll miss will be my family.
936
00:58:15,726 --> 00:58:18,204
My fiancée, Julia... Julia.
937
00:58:18,228 --> 00:58:20,831
And my daughter, she's 12, Ruby.
938
00:58:20,931 --> 00:58:22,508
She'll miss me a lot,
939
00:58:22,532 --> 00:58:25,178
but she started watching
some previous episodes.
940
00:58:25,202 --> 00:58:26,446
Oh, nice shot.
941
00:58:26,470 --> 00:58:28,281
She said don't come back
without the money.
942
00:58:28,305 --> 00:58:30,650
Half a million dollars
would be life changing.
943
00:58:30,674 --> 00:58:31,751
Nice.
944
00:58:31,775 --> 00:58:32,752
It would pay off the mortgage.
945
00:58:32,776 --> 00:58:33,920
It would give us
a lot of freedom
946
00:58:33,944 --> 00:58:35,946
to travel more as a family.
947
00:58:36,046 --> 00:58:40,093
I'm very confident that I have
the psychology to do this.
948
00:58:40,117 --> 00:58:42,261
I'm gonna use
every skill that I have.
949
00:58:42,285 --> 00:58:45,164
I'm gonna adapt
and I'm gonna persevere.
950
00:58:45,188 --> 00:58:47,367
Whatever it takes
to survive and to win.
951
00:58:47,391 --> 00:58:49,426
I don't feel like I'm just
doing this for myself.
952
00:58:49,526 --> 00:58:51,761
I'm doing this for Wales.
953
00:58:53,597 --> 00:58:54,965
Still raining.
954
00:58:56,199 --> 00:58:58,611
There's not much point in just
sitting here wasting time,
955
00:58:58,635 --> 00:59:01,671
so I'm gonna make
some more snares
956
00:59:01,772 --> 00:59:05,718
and take them out
as soon as it stops.
957
00:59:05,742 --> 00:59:08,221
And by making these
before I go out,
958
00:59:08,245 --> 00:59:10,847
I don't have to waste time
while I'm out and about.
959
00:59:12,115 --> 00:59:15,862
I'm making the most of this
damp and miserable day.
960
00:59:15,886 --> 00:59:17,988
I'm feeling quite cheerful, actually.
961
00:59:18,088 --> 00:59:20,933
I think it's because of
the rain reminds me of home.
962
00:59:20,957 --> 00:59:23,193
I feel like I'm back in Wales.
963
00:59:23,293 --> 00:59:24,694
Ah. Anyway.
964
00:59:25,929 --> 00:59:29,308
Wales has a lot of
the ancestral skills.
965
00:59:29,332 --> 00:59:33,046
We're a very strong
and resilient nation.
966
00:59:33,070 --> 00:59:36,482
And I like to bring
those skills alive again.
967
00:59:36,506 --> 00:59:38,518
As a Welshman,
I'm flying the flag
968
00:59:38,542 --> 00:59:41,521
for our traditions
and our ancestral skills.
969
00:59:41,545 --> 00:59:43,980
I've gotta do well out here
for myself
970
00:59:44,081 --> 00:59:46,082
and also for Wales as well.
971
00:59:47,384 --> 00:59:49,753
So I've, uh,
972
00:59:49,853 --> 00:59:52,598
made a bunch of these
973
00:59:52,622 --> 00:59:55,535
and I'll be setting these
all around my site.
974
00:59:55,559 --> 00:59:57,904
And, uh,
975
00:59:57,928 --> 00:59:59,863
hopefully,
976
00:59:59,963 --> 01:00:01,865
that will get me a squirrel
977
01:00:01,965 --> 01:00:03,876
or two
978
01:00:03,900 --> 01:00:06,736
because I'm starting
to get really hungry now.
979
01:00:21,751 --> 01:00:23,786
I hope I don't lose my arrows.
980
01:00:28,358 --> 01:00:31,604
It was just rainy all night,
981
01:00:31,628 --> 01:00:34,941
so I'm already dressed
in my winter clothes.
982
01:00:34,965 --> 01:00:38,344
But, guys, now I'm here
983
01:00:38,368 --> 01:00:40,346
at the location
where I want to be
984
01:00:40,370 --> 01:00:44,541
and which I think is gonna
really benefit me.
985
01:00:44,641 --> 01:00:48,311
Probably today, I will also
finally start the fire,
986
01:00:48,411 --> 01:00:50,147
cook this hare,
987
01:00:50,247 --> 01:00:53,259
and have proper meat.
988
01:00:53,283 --> 01:00:56,295
First meat since I'm here.
989
01:00:56,319 --> 01:00:58,297
Yeah.
990
01:00:58,321 --> 01:01:00,299
If I want to stay long here,
991
01:01:00,323 --> 01:01:03,893
I should go, go, go.
992
01:01:06,263 --> 01:01:11,100
Okay, guys, I like to go down
and check some snares.
993
01:01:28,852 --> 01:01:31,130
Oh, man.
994
01:01:31,154 --> 01:01:33,123
Bunny.
995
01:01:36,760 --> 01:01:38,028
Wow.
996
01:01:48,238 --> 01:01:50,207
I have to fix this.
997
01:02:02,719 --> 01:02:04,553
Time to make fire.
998
01:02:07,123 --> 01:02:08,768
Everything is still super wet.
999
01:02:08,792 --> 01:02:11,261
Conditions are not perfect,
1000
01:02:11,361 --> 01:02:15,541
but let's find
appropriate material.
1001
01:02:15,565 --> 01:02:18,277
If I want to eat,
I have to have fire.
1002
01:02:18,301 --> 01:02:22,081
The problem is, it's much
more rainy than I expected.
1003
01:02:22,105 --> 01:02:25,641
And then it keeps on
being wet all the time.
1004
01:02:27,444 --> 01:02:29,889
I'm not sure about this,
1005
01:02:29,913 --> 01:02:32,458
but it would be really nice
to start cooking,
1006
01:02:32,482 --> 01:02:35,094
then finally get some proteins.
1007
01:02:35,118 --> 01:02:37,063
For our survival school,
1008
01:02:37,087 --> 01:02:39,532
we didn't have any mentor
or whatsoever.
1009
01:02:39,556 --> 01:02:41,400
The most of our knowledge
1010
01:02:41,424 --> 01:02:45,004
comes from being out
in the wild.
1011
01:02:45,028 --> 01:02:47,607
There is, of course,
strong individual factor
1012
01:02:47,631 --> 01:02:50,343
of being stubborn and
not giving up and so on.
1013
01:02:50,367 --> 01:02:52,835
But this is the way
how you learn a lot.
1014
01:02:54,604 --> 01:02:57,650
Here we are with
all parts ready.
1015
01:02:57,674 --> 01:02:59,885
These here are two trees
1016
01:02:59,909 --> 01:03:04,281
where it's kind of
a bit more dry under.
1017
01:03:26,403 --> 01:03:27,937
Nope.
1018
01:03:29,706 --> 01:03:34,020
If there would be sun, there
would be no question about it.
1019
01:03:34,044 --> 01:03:35,388
But in this
1020
01:03:35,412 --> 01:03:37,580
weather conditions,
1021
01:03:37,681 --> 01:03:41,283
I have to try to
make a fire today.
1022
01:03:43,119 --> 01:03:45,331
No pressure.
1023
01:03:45,355 --> 01:03:47,723
It's just for real now.
1024
01:03:59,836 --> 01:04:01,670
Come up.
1025
01:04:04,207 --> 01:04:05,451
I have it.
1026
01:04:05,475 --> 01:04:06,652
Okay.
1027
01:04:06,676 --> 01:04:10,022
I have it. I have it.
1028
01:04:10,046 --> 01:04:11,691
I have it.
1029
01:04:11,715 --> 01:04:13,326
Don't die now.
1030
01:04:13,350 --> 01:04:15,384
You're smoldering.
1031
01:04:17,387 --> 01:04:20,824
humidity.
1032
01:04:25,228 --> 01:04:27,564
It's simply too wet here.
1033
01:04:32,001 --> 01:04:34,437
Still no fire.
1034
01:04:38,441 --> 01:04:40,486
.
1035
01:04:40,510 --> 01:04:42,221
Not with this wood.
1036
01:04:42,245 --> 01:04:44,056
Not in this weather.
1037
01:04:44,080 --> 01:04:46,892
Gosh, I just can't make fire.
1038
01:04:46,916 --> 01:04:49,995
But I know not to freak out,
1039
01:04:50,019 --> 01:04:53,723
and I should just think what
I can do better to adapt.
1040
01:04:54,758 --> 01:04:57,193
Okay, guys.
1041
01:04:57,293 --> 01:05:00,773
All of those...
1042
01:05:00,797 --> 01:05:05,945
wood pieces are going
to be teddy bears
1043
01:05:05,969 --> 01:05:08,938
for me tonight.
1044
01:05:10,874 --> 01:05:16,846
I have to take fire
more seriously now.
1045
01:05:19,149 --> 01:05:21,651
No more excuses.
1046
01:05:23,586 --> 01:05:25,522
I will try tomorrow.
1047
01:05:43,473 --> 01:05:45,108
Time to go get some water.
1048
01:05:50,513 --> 01:05:54,951
Since day one, I've been
drinking the river water,
1049
01:05:55,051 --> 01:05:57,963
and I'm not boiling it.
1050
01:05:57,987 --> 01:06:01,300
Because I burned up
my ferro rod,
1051
01:06:01,324 --> 01:06:03,335
I'm gonna have to
light fire sparingly.
1052
01:06:03,359 --> 01:06:05,971
I've drank this water
before in Alaska.
1053
01:06:05,995 --> 01:06:07,173
It's flowing.
1054
01:06:07,197 --> 01:06:09,108
I'm just gonna have to risk it.
1055
01:06:09,132 --> 01:06:10,876
A bunch of rainwater in here.
1056
01:06:10,900 --> 01:06:13,169
I can't go without water.
1057
01:06:15,004 --> 01:06:17,483
You can go hungry,
but you can't go thirsty.
1058
01:06:17,507 --> 01:06:20,310
That's gonna be
completely debilitating.
1059
01:06:22,479 --> 01:06:24,147
Not bad.
1060
01:06:25,615 --> 01:06:27,282
Arctic rainwater.
1061
01:06:28,952 --> 01:06:30,753
Walk down and check
my beaver snares.
1062
01:06:32,355 --> 01:06:34,700
I'm gonna wait to start a fire
1063
01:06:34,724 --> 01:06:36,168
till I have
a large amount of food
1064
01:06:36,192 --> 01:06:39,229
because I wanna use that fire
in order to preserve it.
1065
01:06:39,329 --> 01:06:42,231
And I'll pay the consequences
if they come.
1066
01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:47,270
Everything's harder to do
when you're not eating.
1067
01:06:47,370 --> 01:06:49,539
Definitely a lot tougher.
1068
01:06:50,874 --> 01:06:53,243
Nothing in that one.
1069
01:06:57,280 --> 01:06:59,658
You know, shoot, I'm struggling.
1070
01:06:59,682 --> 01:07:03,529
Dan Gable said after wrestling,
everything is easy.
1071
01:07:03,553 --> 01:07:07,366
Well, he's not
exactly 100% right.
1072
01:07:07,390 --> 01:07:10,536
This is actually pretty tough.
1073
01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:12,404
I thought it would be hard,
but it's even harder
1074
01:07:12,428 --> 01:07:14,596
than I thought it was gonna be.
1075
01:07:15,999 --> 01:07:18,200
I gotta find some food.
1076
01:07:20,770 --> 01:07:22,671
What is that?
1077
01:07:24,641 --> 01:07:26,218
God.
1078
01:07:26,242 --> 01:07:28,777
We got a pretty
good size beaver here.
1079
01:07:31,180 --> 01:07:33,550
I gotta kill him now.
1080
01:07:33,650 --> 01:07:35,484
I need a big stick.
1081
01:07:40,590 --> 01:07:43,369
That's a big ass beaver.
1082
01:07:43,393 --> 01:07:45,627
Man, he's almost free.
1083
01:07:50,833 --> 01:07:52,435
Now he's not.
1084
01:07:53,970 --> 01:07:55,405
Got him.
1085
01:07:56,906 --> 01:07:59,451
Looks like I'm smoking
a lot of beaver.
1086
01:07:59,475 --> 01:08:01,420
Pretty awesome.
1087
01:08:01,444 --> 01:08:04,456
This has just given
brand new life
1088
01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:06,692
into my entire
"Alone" experience.
1089
01:08:06,716 --> 01:08:07,960
I have a chance.
1090
01:08:07,984 --> 01:08:10,095
This actually
might turn out okay.
1091
01:08:10,119 --> 01:08:13,423
It almost tore up my anchor,
the beaver is so big.
1092
01:08:13,523 --> 01:08:15,935
It's a monster.
1093
01:08:15,959 --> 01:08:18,961
Probably close to 40 pounds.
1094
01:08:22,198 --> 01:08:24,833
I'm gonna be real tired
hauling him back.
1095
01:08:27,837 --> 01:08:31,707
I just got him on my back.
1096
01:08:31,808 --> 01:08:34,276
Now I gotta skin him out.
1097
01:08:40,116 --> 01:08:42,861
All right, I'm gonna get
the guts out of him
1098
01:08:42,885 --> 01:08:47,522
real quick right here 'cause
I don't want that up by camp.
1099
01:08:51,160 --> 01:08:53,938
Beautiful friggin' animal.
1100
01:08:53,962 --> 01:08:56,342
His hide is so nice.
1101
01:08:56,366 --> 01:08:58,477
Castors.
1102
01:08:58,501 --> 01:09:01,179
And that's what makes
a beaver a beaver.
1103
01:09:01,203 --> 01:09:03,438
Super smelly suckers.
1104
01:09:05,475 --> 01:09:08,654
By the time I get the guts
out of it, eat the organs,
1105
01:09:08,678 --> 01:09:11,824
I'm gonna have 30 pounds
of meat here.
1106
01:09:11,848 --> 01:09:13,491
Save some liver.
1107
01:09:13,515 --> 01:09:16,261
This one animal
could last 30 days.
1108
01:09:16,285 --> 01:09:18,664
And in those 30 days,
I'm gonna catch other stuff.
1109
01:09:18,688 --> 01:09:22,324
We'll haul him back,
start smoking him.
1110
01:09:24,327 --> 01:09:26,371
I don't know if I can
get a fire started.
1111
01:09:26,395 --> 01:09:28,095
I'm gonna try.
1112
01:09:32,201 --> 01:09:34,703
Ever since my ferro rod
caught on fire,
1113
01:09:34,804 --> 01:09:38,517
I have been thinking
about what happens
1114
01:09:38,541 --> 01:09:41,843
if I can't get this fire going
with this ferro rod.
1115
01:09:43,546 --> 01:09:47,015
I'm gonna kind of hurry
before this stuff gets wet.
1116
01:09:47,984 --> 01:09:51,519
I'm only gonna get
so many scrapes on this.
1117
01:09:53,488 --> 01:09:55,123
That's all I got.
1118
01:10:03,166 --> 01:10:05,400
Come on.
1119
01:10:10,206 --> 01:10:12,418
It's all rough from the fire.
1120
01:10:12,442 --> 01:10:15,311
It's like lava or something.
1121
01:10:15,411 --> 01:10:16,913
Come on.
1122
01:10:21,851 --> 01:10:23,486
.
1123
01:10:25,722 --> 01:10:27,332
I can't light a fire,
1124
01:10:27,356 --> 01:10:28,925
I'm .
1125
01:10:49,212 --> 01:10:52,758
I need something that sparks
and burns for a moment.
1126
01:10:52,782 --> 01:10:55,151
That's what ferro rods do.
1127
01:10:55,251 --> 01:10:58,297
When this ferro rod heated up,
it changed it.
1128
01:10:58,321 --> 01:11:01,022
It's like I have a piece
of flint in my hand.
1129
01:11:02,625 --> 01:11:04,560
It's just not gonna work.
1130
01:11:17,573 --> 01:11:19,885
I can't live out here
without fire.
1131
01:11:19,909 --> 01:11:21,854
But that beaver's
just gonna rot.
1132
01:11:21,878 --> 01:11:25,380
I can't... I can't dry it.
It's so damn rainy.
1133
01:11:27,483 --> 01:11:29,985
I'm so mad at myself. Damn it.
1134
01:11:32,054 --> 01:11:34,133
Why didn't I just
keep my fire going
1135
01:11:34,157 --> 01:11:36,201
after my ferro rod went out?
1136
01:11:36,225 --> 01:11:38,127
That fire could still be going.
1137
01:11:39,862 --> 01:11:42,007
It's harsh and wet and windy,
1138
01:11:42,031 --> 01:11:46,178
and I am not confident
in my skill in friction fire.
1139
01:11:46,202 --> 01:11:48,537
I don't think I can do it.
1140
01:11:50,907 --> 01:11:54,019
I could just sit out here
and starve
1141
01:11:54,043 --> 01:11:55,721
till I got too cold
1142
01:11:55,745 --> 01:11:58,123
without a fire.
1143
01:11:58,147 --> 01:12:00,950
I could probably do that
for a couple weeks.
1144
01:12:01,050 --> 01:12:03,519
But what's the fun in that?
1145
01:12:04,520 --> 01:12:07,299
I can go without food
for a long period of time.
1146
01:12:07,323 --> 01:12:08,534
I wrestled.
1147
01:12:08,558 --> 01:12:10,393
I know what it's like
to be hungry.
1148
01:12:10,493 --> 01:12:12,538
But that's not what
I came out here to do.
1149
01:12:12,562 --> 01:12:15,430
I wanted to come out here
and survive.
1150
01:12:17,133 --> 01:12:19,845
And letting that beaver spoil,
1151
01:12:19,869 --> 01:12:22,804
that's not doing
the animal right.
1152
01:12:28,644 --> 01:12:30,255
Felt confident
in everything else
1153
01:12:30,279 --> 01:12:32,347
that I was doing out here.
1154
01:12:37,887 --> 01:12:39,956
I can't believe
I let this happen.
1155
01:12:47,763 --> 01:12:50,933
This is David Booth.
I'm officially tapping out.
1156
01:12:52,001 --> 01:12:54,169
.
1157
01:13:22,999 --> 01:13:26,211
I would have never guessed
I'd have been out this quick.
1158
01:13:26,235 --> 01:13:28,080
Not even for a second.
1159
01:13:28,104 --> 01:13:29,272
I had my land figured out.
1160
01:13:29,372 --> 01:13:31,073
I knew where the resources were.
1161
01:13:33,276 --> 01:13:35,320
But I couldn't recover
from that first mistake,
1162
01:13:35,344 --> 01:13:37,956
my ferro rod.
1163
01:13:37,980 --> 01:13:39,658
When you're doing
something like this,
1164
01:13:39,682 --> 01:13:41,784
this remote and this serious,
1165
01:13:41,884 --> 01:13:43,362
you have to slow down
1166
01:13:43,386 --> 01:13:45,497
and think about
what you're doing all the time.
1167
01:13:45,521 --> 01:13:49,125
One mistake like that
will just end it for you.
1168
01:13:50,593 --> 01:13:53,171
It's certainly gonna
make you humble.
1169
01:13:53,195 --> 01:13:54,573
I'm probably not gonna
talk much smack
1170
01:13:54,597 --> 01:13:56,575
'cause everybody can
remind me of this now.
1171
01:13:56,599 --> 01:13:59,011
Oh, yeah, remember when
you were on "Alone"?
1172
01:13:59,035 --> 01:14:00,802
Four days, sucker.
1173
01:14:05,141 --> 01:14:09,221
This is not at all
how I wanted this to end.
1174
01:14:09,245 --> 01:14:13,558
The emotion that I have is
shame, to tell you the truth.
1175
01:14:13,582 --> 01:14:16,018
Just, man,
I could have done better.
1176
01:14:16,118 --> 01:14:18,063
The worst thing
about tapping out
1177
01:14:18,087 --> 01:14:21,166
is that I really am embarrassed
1178
01:14:21,190 --> 01:14:23,535
'cause I think my family thought
1179
01:14:23,559 --> 01:14:26,228
that I would have done
amazing out here.
1180
01:14:26,329 --> 01:14:30,666
They're going to see
that I wasn't amazing.
1181
01:14:30,766 --> 01:14:33,069
Out here,
I've seen too many times
1182
01:14:33,169 --> 01:14:36,982
people with a bow and drill,
they've all struggled.
1183
01:14:37,006 --> 01:14:39,084
I didn't wanna be
naive enough to think,
1184
01:14:39,108 --> 01:14:40,909
well, they couldn't do it,
but I can.
1185
01:14:42,778 --> 01:14:44,890
I left my ferro rod on the bank.
1186
01:14:44,914 --> 01:14:47,259
It was nobody else's fault.
1187
01:14:47,283 --> 01:14:50,019
That's what I'm the most
disappointed about.
1188
01:14:50,119 --> 01:14:52,197
But who knows
what would have happened
1189
01:14:52,221 --> 01:14:54,356
if I wouldn't have done that?
1190
01:15:23,652 --> 01:15:25,497
There's really no need
to starve out here.
1191
01:15:25,521 --> 01:15:28,567
There's so much
in the way of foraging
1192
01:15:28,591 --> 01:15:32,137
and just natural resources
everywhere.
1193
01:15:32,161 --> 01:15:34,973
Look at these alder cones,
1194
01:15:34,997 --> 01:15:37,009
which I've just foraged.
1195
01:15:37,033 --> 01:15:39,368
Now, these are edible as well.
1196
01:15:44,106 --> 01:15:45,875
Yeah.
1197
01:15:47,910 --> 01:15:49,645
Ugh.
1198
01:15:53,883 --> 01:15:55,418
Oh, man.
1199
01:16:02,591 --> 01:16:05,404
I think I'd rather starve.
1200
01:16:05,428 --> 01:16:08,096
Let's go and catch a fish.
1201
01:16:10,366 --> 01:16:12,477
I've checked all the
snares this morning,
1202
01:16:12,501 --> 01:16:15,104
and there's no sign of
anything going near them,
1203
01:16:15,204 --> 01:16:17,816
let alone in them.
1204
01:16:17,840 --> 01:16:20,652
I need to find better
solutions rather than
1205
01:16:20,676 --> 01:16:23,021
doing the same thing
over and over again,
1206
01:16:23,045 --> 01:16:25,323
expecting a different result.
1207
01:16:25,347 --> 01:16:29,728
So today I think
I'll try fishing.
1208
01:16:29,752 --> 01:16:33,298
There are so many fish
in this river.
1209
01:16:33,322 --> 01:16:35,767
It's just
1210
01:16:35,791 --> 01:16:38,737
how do you get them
out of the river
1211
01:16:38,761 --> 01:16:40,939
and into your belly?
1212
01:16:40,963 --> 01:16:42,631
We're a successful species.
1213
01:16:42,731 --> 01:16:47,412
That all comes down to our
ability to adapt and overcome,
1214
01:16:47,436 --> 01:16:50,582
which is exactly what
I plan to be doing today
1215
01:16:50,606 --> 01:16:53,685
and for however
many days it takes
1216
01:16:53,709 --> 01:16:56,612
to win season 13 of "Alone."
1217
01:16:57,980 --> 01:16:59,658
So now you have it.
1218
01:16:59,682 --> 01:17:02,784
You're stuck with me.
1219
01:17:27,710 --> 01:17:30,355
It's not easy to fail at things,
1220
01:17:30,379 --> 01:17:33,282
but I'm trying to stay
as calm as I can.
1221
01:17:36,485 --> 01:17:39,087
To not allow negativity
to get in.
1222
01:17:52,768 --> 01:17:55,671
We've seen it with so many
previous contestants
1223
01:17:55,771 --> 01:17:57,849
where things will play on them.
1224
01:17:57,873 --> 01:17:59,141
Thoughts, thoughts about home,
1225
01:17:59,241 --> 01:18:00,552
unfinished business,
1226
01:18:00,576 --> 01:18:03,379
things that they hadn't
resolved before they left.
1227
01:18:03,479 --> 01:18:07,016
And I've come into this
with a clear head.
1228
01:18:10,352 --> 01:18:12,297
So I know I just need
to allow myself
1229
01:18:12,321 --> 01:18:15,257
to focus on the challenge
that lies ahead.
1230
01:18:18,727 --> 01:18:21,029
I'm pretty confident
I can adapt.
1231
01:18:32,341 --> 01:18:34,043
Nothing.
1232
01:18:35,511 --> 01:18:37,479
Okay.
1233
01:18:54,563 --> 01:18:56,431
Sorry, dude.
1234
01:19:10,646 --> 01:19:12,524
Well, this was unexpected.
1235
01:19:12,548 --> 01:19:16,117
I caught a squirrel in
one of my rabbit snares.
1236
01:19:18,153 --> 01:19:20,732
This one won't go to waste.
1237
01:19:20,756 --> 01:19:23,201
I'm very grateful for this gift.
1238
01:19:23,225 --> 01:19:26,605
And anything left over
is gonna be used for bait.
1239
01:19:26,629 --> 01:19:29,341
So I've got high hopes
that this squirrel's life
1240
01:19:29,365 --> 01:19:32,077
is that one break to get me
producing food here.
1241
01:19:32,101 --> 01:19:35,447
So hopefully
that squirrel is it.
1242
01:19:35,471 --> 01:19:39,141
So I'm just gonna go
and clean this
1243
01:19:39,241 --> 01:19:42,043
and make a stew.
1244
01:19:45,314 --> 01:19:48,059
Five days in.
Feeling pretty good.
1245
01:19:48,083 --> 01:19:49,718
Feeling good.
1246
01:20:19,682 --> 01:20:22,051
You don't care at all.
1247
01:20:24,753 --> 01:20:29,401
I will definitely go for it,
but not now.
1248
01:20:29,425 --> 01:20:32,237
I have some more stuff to do.
1249
01:20:32,261 --> 01:20:35,229
Now let's focus on fire.
1250
01:20:39,401 --> 01:20:41,012
Okay, guys.
1251
01:20:41,036 --> 01:20:44,182
Overnight, I kept my bow drill
1252
01:20:44,206 --> 01:20:46,651
set up here,
1253
01:20:46,675 --> 01:20:51,146
and now I've put it
in a sleeping bag
1254
01:20:51,246 --> 01:20:53,491
to keep it warm
1255
01:20:53,515 --> 01:20:55,351
and dry.
1256
01:20:56,685 --> 01:20:58,721
And...
1257
01:21:02,324 --> 01:21:04,703
That has better...
1258
01:21:04,727 --> 01:21:08,740
feels better than yesterday.
1259
01:21:08,764 --> 01:21:11,843
I mean, of course,
there is no sun,
1260
01:21:11,867 --> 01:21:17,482
but it's kind of
not as humid as yesterday.
1261
01:21:17,506 --> 01:21:19,874
So I will give it a try.
1262
01:21:24,480 --> 01:21:26,914
Okay.
1263
01:21:28,517 --> 01:21:31,296
I know that my friends
were quite worried
1264
01:21:31,320 --> 01:21:35,200
that I'm going into this
competition without ferro rod,
1265
01:21:35,224 --> 01:21:39,204
and I see now
it is definitely a risk.
1266
01:21:39,228 --> 01:21:41,573
The problem is,
I really did not expect
1267
01:21:41,597 --> 01:21:43,541
so much wet conditions.
1268
01:21:43,565 --> 01:21:47,579
And I know that if I don't
get fire for a very long time,
1269
01:21:47,603 --> 01:21:51,239
at some point,
I would have to tap out.
1270
01:21:57,446 --> 01:21:59,547
A bit more.
1271
01:22:02,251 --> 01:22:04,353
Wow.
1272
01:22:04,453 --> 01:22:06,321
I think I have it.
1273
01:22:10,492 --> 01:22:12,804
Okay, okay, okay.
1274
01:22:12,828 --> 01:22:15,831
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
1275
01:22:15,931 --> 01:22:18,167
Keep on going.
1276
01:22:20,335 --> 01:22:22,438
Now tinder.
1277
01:22:35,083 --> 01:22:38,730
Don't blow too much
1278
01:22:38,754 --> 01:22:41,566
because you have to
retain the heat.
1279
01:22:41,590 --> 01:22:45,637
I think this is
enough air coming.
1280
01:22:45,661 --> 01:22:47,496
This is working.
1281
01:22:49,031 --> 01:22:51,132
Just let it go.
1282
01:22:53,368 --> 01:22:55,404
Keep on going, baby.
1283
01:22:56,805 --> 01:23:02,243
I should start blowing
before all does burn.
1284
01:23:29,404 --> 01:23:31,673
Fire!
1285
01:23:33,542 --> 01:23:35,420
Whoo!
1286
01:23:35,444 --> 01:23:37,112
Bam!
1287
01:23:37,212 --> 01:23:38,480
Have it!
1288
01:23:40,082 --> 01:23:43,385
We are eating bunnies tonight.
1289
01:23:43,485 --> 01:23:45,520
A lot of bunnies.
1290
01:23:48,357 --> 01:23:52,971
So this is my first fellow,
1291
01:23:52,995 --> 01:23:55,163
which I caught on day three.
1292
01:23:56,765 --> 01:24:00,068
And it seems to be totally fine.
1293
01:24:00,168 --> 01:24:02,380
So let's start.
1294
01:24:02,404 --> 01:24:05,307
As a scientist, I can reanalyze
1295
01:24:05,407 --> 01:24:08,486
where I was successful
and where not.
1296
01:24:08,510 --> 01:24:11,990
I have realized that
my failures can be good
1297
01:24:12,014 --> 01:24:14,726
because you're looking
for ways to adapt
1298
01:24:14,750 --> 01:24:17,529
and observe nature
and learn from it.
1299
01:24:17,553 --> 01:24:19,988
Here I'm drying
1300
01:24:20,088 --> 01:24:23,935
three bodies of hare.
1301
01:24:23,959 --> 01:24:27,138
In the pot, entire one.
1302
01:24:27,162 --> 01:24:32,010
Here I hanged two livers
and kidneys in the end.
1303
01:24:32,034 --> 01:24:34,846
And those are stomachs.
1304
01:24:34,870 --> 01:24:36,738
I'm getting quite hungry now.
1305
01:24:36,838 --> 01:24:40,919
I mean, this is, in a way,
also what fuels science.
1306
01:24:40,943 --> 01:24:42,720
Maybe somebody would
also come up with
1307
01:24:42,744 --> 01:24:44,822
some unique ideas
what I could have
1308
01:24:44,846 --> 01:24:47,091
done differently and better.
1309
01:24:47,115 --> 01:24:50,151
I'm really curious
how it tastes.
1310
01:24:58,860 --> 01:25:00,962
Here comes fat.
1311
01:25:03,765 --> 01:25:06,177
Oh, yeah. Livers.
1312
01:25:06,201 --> 01:25:08,737
I'm really happy to be out here.
1313
01:25:08,837 --> 01:25:10,381
It's gonna be a long journey.
1314
01:25:10,405 --> 01:25:12,674
A long, long one.
1315
01:25:13,842 --> 01:25:16,988
Kidneys are the best part.
1316
01:25:17,012 --> 01:25:19,982
So let's do this.
1317
01:25:25,754 --> 01:25:27,599
The weather's getting colder.
1318
01:25:27,623 --> 01:25:29,791
I need to get my
permanent shelter up.
1319
01:25:29,891 --> 01:25:31,760
Freeze frame photo.
1320
01:25:33,996 --> 01:25:36,097
Oh, my God,
oh my God, oh, my God.
1321
01:25:37,399 --> 01:25:39,410
Holy .
1322
01:25:39,434 --> 01:25:41,335
It's the moose.
1323
01:25:41,459 --> 01:25:43,159
.
