figuring out my food source. 214 00:17:57,710 --> 00:18:00,680 And now I do need to get my tepee done. 215 00:18:03,749 --> 00:18:06,319 I'm actually having a lot of fun. 216 00:18:06,352 --> 00:18:07,820 All righty, folks, we're going to get 217 00:18:07,853 --> 00:18:11,157 this big old log over there. 218 00:18:11,190 --> 00:18:14,527 Going into the competition with my body weight, 219 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,195 I told myself that I need a fire 220 00:18:16,228 --> 00:18:18,130 and my permanent shelter to keep me warm. 221 00:18:18,164 --> 00:18:21,133 So a fire was always a must. 222 00:18:22,301 --> 00:18:26,572 So my plan is to build a large tepee as my permanent shelter 223 00:18:26,606 --> 00:18:28,874 just because it's basically a chimney that you live in. 224 00:18:28,874 --> 00:18:31,877 But if you get it nice and insulated and air-tight, 225 00:18:31,911 --> 00:18:35,448 then the smoke will just trickle out the top. 226 00:18:35,481 --> 00:18:37,450 This is a perfect scenario of, 227 00:18:37,483 --> 00:18:40,119 I can put meat in the store room. 228 00:18:40,152 --> 00:18:43,189 Once I build my shelter and set up a big drying rack, 229 00:18:43,222 --> 00:18:45,891 I could get close to 20 pike on here, 230 00:18:45,925 --> 00:18:48,260 and then that would give me, you know, a huge amount 231 00:18:48,361 --> 00:18:50,396 of food stores in the competition 232 00:18:50,429 --> 00:18:52,231 later on when things get cold. 233 00:18:52,264 --> 00:18:56,402 And that'll be my way to smoke fish and then also have a fire. 234 00:18:58,037 --> 00:19:01,841 This is a big task, but I think it'll be worth it. 235 00:19:04,377 --> 00:19:05,878 Well, , now it's time to see 236 00:19:05,911 --> 00:19:09,682 if I can move this big bitch. 237 00:19:10,883 --> 00:19:12,952 Don't blow your backs out, kids. 238 00:19:48,554 --> 00:19:50,923 Well, , it's huge. 239 00:20:02,668 --> 00:20:04,236 How about that? 240 00:20:06,605 --> 00:20:09,875 The hardest part is over. 241 00:20:11,911 --> 00:20:15,347 The tri of the pod is erect. 242 00:20:27,593 --> 00:20:30,730 I got a lot of rabbit soup made. 243 00:20:30,763 --> 00:20:32,865 Look at that heart, 244 00:20:32,965 --> 00:20:34,533 aorta and all attached, 245 00:20:34,567 --> 00:20:36,535 if that's what it's called. 246 00:20:42,541 --> 00:20:44,510 Mmm. 247 00:20:44,543 --> 00:20:45,644 Juicy. 248 00:20:47,446 --> 00:20:50,316 A lot juicier than that grouse, 249 00:20:50,316 --> 00:20:52,051 which is awesome. 250 00:20:54,286 --> 00:20:57,323 I am hungry for frozen pizza though. 251 00:20:58,691 --> 00:21:03,596 Little cheap round kind that costs, like, 252 00:21:03,596 --> 00:21:05,331 2 bucks, 253 00:21:05,364 --> 00:21:07,099 a little bit of hot sauce on them. 254 00:21:08,968 --> 00:21:10,069 Good stuff. 255 00:21:10,169 --> 00:21:11,337 Ew. 256 00:21:15,641 --> 00:21:17,309 Testicle, I think. 257 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:22,848 Eat around it. 258 00:21:25,084 --> 00:21:28,587 Let's get started on layer number two of sod. 259 00:21:29,455 --> 00:21:32,258 We're going to cut another piece of sod. 260 00:21:32,358 --> 00:21:36,996 And I've been making these about 2 feet long 261 00:21:36,996 --> 00:21:39,398 by... 262 00:21:39,431 --> 00:21:41,600 16 inches wide. 263 00:21:41,634 --> 00:21:45,271 The smaller ones are always a little bit easier to work with. 264 00:21:45,371 --> 00:21:50,176 Another piece of sod material. 265 00:21:50,209 --> 00:21:53,345 The ivrulik is a sod house and a home 266 00:21:53,445 --> 00:21:59,251 that Iñupiaq people have lived in for thousands of years. 267 00:21:59,285 --> 00:22:00,986 I'll work with that. 268 00:22:01,086 --> 00:22:05,558 One of the reasons why we're here today, and I realize that, 269 00:22:05,558 --> 00:22:09,161 is because of the sod house that helped us survive 270 00:22:09,161 --> 00:22:12,832 long, cold, windy winters. 271 00:22:12,865 --> 00:22:15,034 Perfect. 272 00:22:15,067 --> 00:22:17,736 Looking good. 273 00:22:17,837 --> 00:22:21,473 The general shape of the sod house is 274 00:22:21,507 --> 00:22:24,009 more of a round shape, 275 00:22:24,043 --> 00:22:27,680 and that really helps keep the wind off of it 276 00:22:27,713 --> 00:22:31,250 and keeps the wind from blowing it over. 277 00:22:31,283 --> 00:22:33,219 Looking good. 278 00:22:33,252 --> 00:22:36,655 Building this traditional ivrulik, 279 00:22:36,755 --> 00:22:39,725 I'm feeling like I'm walking through 280 00:22:39,725 --> 00:22:42,394 my ancestors' footsteps. 281 00:22:42,394 --> 00:22:45,331 The sod is highly "sod" after. 282 00:22:48,868 --> 00:22:51,503 I know it's going to be hard work, 283 00:22:51,604 --> 00:22:54,807 but I know it's worth it. 284 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,610 OK, one wall done. 285 00:22:57,643 --> 00:22:59,812 Now we'll get started on this side. 286 00:23:02,147 --> 00:23:08,053 Ivruq block number one, on the side. 287 00:23:32,811 --> 00:23:35,114 Last piece for the walls. 288 00:23:39,084 --> 00:23:40,753 Oh. 289 00:23:40,853 --> 00:23:42,655 Yeah. 290 00:23:42,688 --> 00:23:44,690 Got it. 291 00:23:44,723 --> 00:23:45,958 Got it. 292 00:23:47,126 --> 00:23:48,594 Oh. 293 00:23:49,728 --> 00:23:51,163 Mm. 294 00:24:13,018 --> 00:24:14,987 It's hot. 295 00:24:20,059 --> 00:24:23,095 Oh, I have an idea. 296 00:24:26,298 --> 00:24:30,235 I have this arrow. 297 00:24:30,235 --> 00:24:32,571 And I lost 298 00:24:32,604 --> 00:24:36,775 my broadhead in the first day. 299 00:24:36,809 --> 00:24:40,112 No, in the second day 300 00:24:40,212 --> 00:24:43,282 when I was hunting the rabbits. 301 00:24:44,883 --> 00:24:50,155 So this is a pipe. 302 00:24:52,124 --> 00:24:54,727 I can blow it. 303 00:25:05,704 --> 00:25:07,740 Blowing machine. 304 00:25:08,841 --> 00:25:10,009 Awesome. 305 00:25:12,678 --> 00:25:17,850 OK, let's go try to do something useful. 306 00:25:23,956 --> 00:25:30,195 I feel bad because the moose run away with my arrow. 307 00:25:30,195 --> 00:25:33,198 I walk through here. 308 00:25:33,198 --> 00:25:35,901 I saw them there. 309 00:25:35,934 --> 00:25:41,206 I prefer to fail that shot and the animal is in good health 310 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:45,144 than shot the animal and not feeding off him 311 00:25:45,244 --> 00:25:47,713 is not correct. 312 00:25:47,713 --> 00:25:51,683 I walk all of this looking at them. 313 00:25:51,683 --> 00:25:55,621 But maybe I missed. 314 00:25:55,721 --> 00:25:59,024 You can see the log there. 315 00:25:59,058 --> 00:26:05,030 That was the log where the moose passed. 316 00:26:05,130 --> 00:26:06,598 So... 317 00:26:06,598 --> 00:26:11,770 now I need to find my arrow. 318 00:26:11,804 --> 00:26:15,908 As soon as the snow fall, it will be difficult 319 00:26:16,008 --> 00:26:19,011 to have big game in the field. 320 00:26:19,044 --> 00:26:22,448 Blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue. 321 00:26:22,481 --> 00:26:25,651 So I need to hunt now. 322 00:26:25,684 --> 00:26:28,520 And to do that, I need arrows. 323 00:26:30,155 --> 00:26:31,223 What? 324 00:26:33,959 --> 00:26:36,195 What the hell? 325 00:26:37,496 --> 00:26:39,364 I found my arrow. 326 00:26:40,599 --> 00:26:44,636 Look, the arrow, how deep it is. 327 00:26:47,272 --> 00:26:49,908 Look at this. 328 00:26:51,410 --> 00:26:53,846 There is no blood. 329 00:26:53,879 --> 00:26:56,448 This means a lot of things. 330 00:26:56,482 --> 00:26:58,484 First one, 331 00:26:58,517 --> 00:27:02,855 I didn't hurt the young moose. 332 00:27:03,889 --> 00:27:06,925 So he's not injured somewhere. 333 00:27:07,726 --> 00:27:11,196 And there's more opportunity. 334 00:27:11,196 --> 00:27:12,865 One more arrow 335 00:27:12,965 --> 00:27:15,868 means one more shot, 336 00:27:15,901 --> 00:27:17,569 one more opportunity. 337 00:27:21,273 --> 00:27:26,845 It's important when you fail, you have second opportunities. 338 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,717 That moose had a second chance. 339 00:27:31,750 --> 00:27:33,152 He can live more. 340 00:27:33,185 --> 00:27:34,486 He can grow. 341 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,389 He will be the biggest male. 342 00:27:39,358 --> 00:27:45,364 I had the second chance from the bronchitis and asthma. 343 00:27:45,397 --> 00:27:49,034 And maybe now, like the moose, 344 00:27:49,067 --> 00:27:52,671 I will have another second opportunity. 345 00:28:01,413 --> 00:28:02,681 Wow. 346 00:28:14,793 --> 00:28:16,562 Yeah. 347 00:28:16,562 --> 00:28:18,997 Thank you, God. 348 00:28:19,031 --> 00:28:21,200 Thank you. 349

00:28:30,008 Thank you, God. 353 00:28:31,076 --> 00:28:32,311 Thank you. 354 00:28:47,726 --> 00:28:49,394 I'm going to try my greens, 355 00:28:49,394 --> 00:28:53,198 which will be rabbit gut bag for breakfast. 356 00:28:53,232 --> 00:28:55,234 You might think that's a little disgusting, 357 00:28:55,267 --> 00:28:58,270 but I'm sure you put some things in your body 358 00:28:58,370 --> 00:29:01,340 that are pretty bad. 359 00:29:06,445 --> 00:29:08,213 This is for you, Mom. 360 00:29:08,247 --> 00:29:10,716 Always eat your greens. 361 00:29:10,749 --> 00:29:12,551 All right, folks. 362 00:29:19,424 --> 00:29:22,027 A little bit sour, a little bit bitter. 363 00:29:23,395 --> 00:29:25,864 Could be mistaken for pesto. 364 00:29:27,366 --> 00:29:28,734 Mmm. 365 00:29:28,767 --> 00:29:31,403 My mom makes the best pesto. 366 00:29:33,839 --> 00:29:36,074 And if everything goes well, 367 00:29:36,074 --> 00:29:38,844 we'll be flying home together 368 00:29:38,877 -->

righty, we had our breakfast. 372 00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,196 Not too sure what the time is, but we're going to work 373 00:29:58,230 --> 00:30:01,199 on the permanent shelter. 374 00:30:01,233 --> 00:30:04,870 Small amounts of work a day is a bit of a tactic. 375 00:30:04,870 --> 00:30:08,273 I don't want to just go all in it at once. 376 00:30:08,307 --> 00:30:10,275 I'm feeling really, really good. 377 00:30:10,275 --> 00:30:12,044 I want to have fun here. 378 00:30:12,077 --> 00:30:15,414 And emotionally, I feel like I'm in a location where I can 379 00:30:15,447 --> 00:30:17,783 actually feel like I'm at home 380 00:30:17,883 --> 00:30:21,053 and I feel like I can enjoy the process. 381 00:30:30,762 --> 00:30:32,731 Nature's like, always, like, just this big door 382 00:30:32,764 --> 00:30:34,633 that is wide open. 383 00:30:34,666 --> 00:30:39,104 And you go through that door and it's just large release 384 00:30:39,204 --> 00:30:41,006 comes flooding over. 385 00:30:41,039 --> 00:30:43,175 It's the purest form of an antidepressant 386 00:30:43,275 --> 00:30:45,043 or something to, you know, clear my mind 387 00:30:45,077 --> 00:30:47,779 or, you know, let some thoughts run. 388 00:30:49,581 --> 00:30:51,283 All right. 389 00:30:51,316 --> 00:30:53,518 Freeze frame photo. 390 00:30:55,153 --> 00:30:57,122 Beautiful. 391 00:30:58,323 --> 00:31:00,292 We'll keep going from here. 392 00:31:00,325 --> 00:31:03,995 Get some crossbeams up, kinda the walls. 393 00:31:10,836 --> 00:31:14,439 The ultimate freedom and just the open schedule, 394 00:31:14,473 --> 00:31:18,710 it just seems so right for my brain. 395 00:31:23,582 --> 00:31:25,751 It's just another step closer to my goal, 396 00:31:25,784 --> 00:31:29,554 and that is to be more self-sufficient. 397 00:31:29,588 --> 00:31:33,358 I really feel like so many friends are so stressed out 398 00:31:33,392 --> 00:31:37,162 from being tied down and having all these 399 00:31:37,195 --> 00:31:40,832 avoidable and unnecessary ties and strains. 400 00:31:40,932 --> 00:31:42,801 And I don't want that. 401 00:31:44,269 --> 00:31:46,772 I've got a bunch more spruces dropped. 402 00:31:46,805 --> 00:31:49,674 Should do at least another side. 403 00:31:49,708 --> 00:31:54,079 My greatest dream is totally a small block of land, 404 00:31:54,112 --> 00:31:56,148 a piece of paradise, 405 00:31:56,148 --> 00:32:00,152 that's in the area that's abundant with a variety of game 406 00:32:00,152 --> 00:32:03,021 that I can keep myself very entertained. 407 00:32:03,121 --> 00:32:05,590 And, you know, a small house-- 408 00:32:10,128 --> 00:32:12,063 Luckily, I've got food. 409 00:32:12,097 --> 00:32:15,534 And not fall into loans and debts 410 00:32:15,634 --> 00:32:18,737 and the feel of being tied down. 411 00:32:18,837 --> 00:32:20,906 So winning this money would allow me 412 00:32:21,006 --> 00:32:22,441 to be able to have that dream. 413 00:32:27,746 --> 00:32:31,550 That's pretty bloody good, if you

release 434 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,563 your emotions to feel better. 435 00:33:51,563 --> 00:33:55,901 We have waterfront property, guys. 436 00:33:56,001 --> 00:33:58,403 Some people say it's in

remembered I was on this experience 441 00:34:16,721 --> 00:34:19,558 in this crazy competition 442 00:34:19,558 --> 00:34:21,793 and I was like, wait a minute. 443 00:34:21,893 --> 00:34:23,360 This is awesome. 444 00:34:27,098 --> 00:34:31,503 If I choose to not give myself pressure and just surrender, 445 00:34:31,603 --> 00:34:34,639 then it's really just having fun. 446 00:34:44,916 --> 00:34:48,520 So now what I'm going to do 447 00:34:48,553 --> 00:34:52,157 is I'm going to start lining up the walls. 448 00:34:54,793 --> 00:34:56,061 I'm going to take full advantage 449 00:34:56,161 --> 00:34:58,930 of this opportunity to make a shelter 450 00:34:58,964 --> 00:35:01,099 that I've always wanted to make. 451 00:35:01,199 --> 00:35:04,836 I've always been inspired by

log cabin, but instead of tall, it's wide and short. 455 00:35:16,681 --> 00:35:18,383 It will still have four walls, 456 00:35:18,483 --> 00:35:20,852 and it'll have a small dome on top. 457 00:35:30,328 --> 00:35:32,364 I felt very strongly going into this competition 458 00:35:32,397 --> 00:35:35,600 that I wanted to have a shelter that had a central fire. 459 00:35:35,634 --> 00:35:39,237 Having a central fire is going to maximize your warmth. 460 00:35:39,270 --> 00:35:41,272 This shelter gives me enough space 461 00:35:41,306 --> 00:35:45,176 to be able to stretch out and relax my body, 462 00:35:45,276 --> 00:35:49,280 and store the things that I need immediate access to 463 00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,751 while still just maximizing how warm it could get 464 00:35:52,784 --> 00:35:54,619 in the really extreme temperatures. 465 00:36:02,861 --> 00:36:04,963 Oh, my God! 466 00:36:06,297 --> 00:36:07,932 Cameron? 467 00:36:08,900 --> 00:36:11,036 Oh! 468

aquatic biology. 610 00:45:34,865 --> 00:45:38,603 My idea is to set all the wire I have, 611 00:45:38,636 --> 00:45:40,438 as many snares as possible. 612 00:45:47,878 --> 00:45:50,281 When I put ten snares and check the next morning, 613 00:45:50,314 --> 00:45:51,716 there were two hares there. 614 00:45:51,749 --> 00:45:53,851 And then next time I put even more and more. 615 00:45:53,884 --> 00:45:56,520 So 45 is the number now. 616 00:45:58,122 --> 00:46:00,758 When I was young, I kind of listed down 617 00:46:00,758 --> 00:46:02,760 what I would like to do in life, 618 00:46:02,793 --> 00:46:07,031 and I wanted to be an expert in one area. 619 00:46:07,064 --> 00:46:09,734 There were two big passions for me, and one was, 620 00:46:09,767 --> 00:46:11,636 of course, bushcraft, 621 00:46:11,669 --> 00:46:15,473 and another one was underwater life. 622 00:46:15,473 --> 00:46:19,710 And only one looked likely to get me a job. 623 00:46:19,744 --> 00:46:22,413 And so I became a fish biologist. 624 00:46:33,424 --> 00:46:37,962 The best thing about my job is the research. 625 00:46:37,995 --> 00:46:42,166 OK, funny tree formation. 626 00:46:45,436 --> 00:46:49,807 I'm very analytical about stuff in general. 627 00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:53,444 But now, having this time out here, 628 00:46:53,477 --> 00:46:58,783 I can reanalyze where I was successful and where not. 629 00:46:58,816 --> 00:47:02,119 And I have realized that it's much more important 630 00:47:02,119 --> 00:47:06,357 to understand why something is working in this way, 631 00:47:06,390 --> 00:47:08,359 or should be done in this way. 632 00:47:09,593 --> 00:47:11,929 Once you understand things, 633 00:47:11,962 --> 00:47:13,664 it's also much easier 634 00:47:13,698 --> 00:47:17,368 to give slight improvements or adaptations 635 00:47:17,401 --> 00:47:19,403 according to the situation. 636 00:47:22,907 --> 00:47:24,108 OK. 637 00:47:26,377 --> 00:47:28,479 Now let's go berry picking. 638 00:47:33,884 --> 00:47:34,885 Oh. 639 00:47:49,567 --> 00:47:52,603 The reason why I'm doing this competition is 640 00:47:52,603 --> 00:47:55,005 not only my personal challenge, 641 00:47:55,005 --> 00:47:59,276 but I'm doing it as a researcher, as a scientist. 642 00:47:59,310 --> 00:48:01,645 This series created a lot of knowledge. 643 00:48:01,679 --> 00:48:05,349 I would like to contribute to this knowledge. 644 00:48:05,383 --> 00:48:07,051 From academic perspective, 645 00:48:07,084 --> 00:48:10,788 you really see what happens to your body. 646 00:48:10,788 --> 00:48:13,758 These are really extreme conditions 647 00:48:13,791 --> 00:48:15,626 that there is no other way that people 648 00:48:15,659 --> 00:48:18,529 would go in these situations and to monitor this. 649 00:48:18,562 --> 00:48:22,833 And you can really have a proper scientific approach. 650 00:48:22,933 --> 00:48:25,603 This would be really valuable information, 651 00:48:25,636 --> 00:48:30,007 not only for bushcraft, but also for medicine 652 00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:33,277 or maybe even for space exploration, 653 00:48:33,310 --> 00:48:37,181 pushing the limits of what human body can stand. 654 00:48:37,281 --> 00:48:42,153 It's really valuable, the data that actually exists here. 655 00:48:46,724 --> 00:48:50,161 A bit of berries, a bit of sun. 656 00:48:51,629 --> 00:48:54,732 And... 657 00:48:54,765 --> 00:48:56,600 you can feel so much better. 658 00:49:08,646 --> 00:49:12,883 OK, regarding the position, 659 00:49:12,917 --> 00:49:15,586 there's my shelter. 660 00:49:15,686 --> 00:49:18,823 This is, unfortunately, kind of peninsula. 661 00:49:18,923 --> 00:49:23,227 So lake goes all the way around. 662 00:49:23,260 --> 00:49:26,030 So it's a bit unlikely that moose--unless, I mean, 663 00:49:26,130 --> 00:49:28,866 there is kind of separation between two lakes. 664 00:49:28,966 --> 00:49:32,269 So it might swim over, 665 00:49:32,303 --> 00:49:35,606 but I think this wouldn't happen. 666 00:49:35,606 --> 00:49:38,676 But the good point is, 667 00:49:38,709 --> 00:49:42,680 here, it's like this 2-meter channel. 668 00:49:42,713 --> 00:49:46,283 And if the moose would pass here, 669 00:49:46,317 --> 00:49:47,751 which I think it's quite likely 670 00:49:47,751 --> 00:49:50,921 because it's really easy to pass, 671 00:49:50,955 --> 00:49:55,392 I might hear splashes in water. 672 00:49:55,493 --> 00:49:56,961 So yeah. 673 00:49:59,730 --> 00:50:03,100 That's basically it. 674 00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:06,470 I won't do so much active hunting. 675 00:50:06,504 --> 00:50:08,205 I will always carry a bow with me 676 00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:10,474 when I go do berry picking. 677 00:50:11,809 --> 00:50:17,081 But beside this, I'm all set for everything. 678 00:50:32,263 --> 00:50:34,565 Good morning. 679 00:50:34,598 --> 00:50:36,367 I slept in my shelter last night. 680 00:50:36,367 --> 00:50:38,769 Slept just amazing. 681 00:50:38,802 --> 00:50:40,337 I mean, 682 00:50:40,371 --> 00:50:45,309 how cool is that to be able to sleep in a home 683 00:50:45,342 --> 00:50:50,714 that just thousands and thousands of Iñupiaq 684 00:50:50,748 --> 00:50:54,084 before you have lived in and survived in. 685 00:50:54,084 --> 00:50:56,520 So that's such a cool feeling. 686 00:50:57,922 --> 00:50:59,757 We'll get started on the morning. 687 00:51:03,260 --> 00:51:05,963 I knew this would be the plan-- 688 00:51:05,963 --> 00:51:08,599 get a permanent shelter built 689 00:51:08,632 --> 00:51:12,469 and rest for a few days, more or less. 690 00:51:12,503 --> 00:51:14,872 Beautiful quiet morning. 691 00:51:14,972 --> 00:51:16,874 Got the gill net in yesterday. 692 00:51:16,907 --> 00:51:17,975 Checked it last night. 693 00:51:18,008 --> 00:51:20,477 Didn't get any fish in it. 694 00:51:20,477 --> 00:51:23,781 I'm going to go check it here this morning. 695 00:51:23,814 --> 00:51:28,485 Fishing will be more important than small game will be. 696 00:51:28,519 --> 00:51:30,588 And I know that. 697 00:51:30,688 --> 00:51:34,158 I haven't heard of any tribe surviving 698 00:51:34,191 --> 00:51:37,261 off of rabbit and small game alone. 699 00:51:37,294 --> 00:51:41,365 So I know that's not a great long-term solution 700 00:51:41,365 --> 00:51:44,134 to my food-gathering strategy. 701 00:51:47,738 --> 00:51:49,239 Oh, yeah. 702 00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:50,441 Whoo-hoo. 703 00:51:50,474 --> 00:51:51,842 Whoo. 704 00:51:51,842 --> 00:51:53,243 Let's go. 705 00:51:59,683 --> 00:52:03,787 Not too big of one, but we'll take it. 706 00:52:06,924 --> 00:52:09,193 Yeah, the first fish. 707 00:52:09,226 --> 00:52:11,362 Nice size siulik. 708 00:52:14,531 --> 00:52:16,033 Net reset. 709 00:52:18,802 --> 00:52:20,204 There. 710 00:52:24,441 --> 00:52:27,244 That's a lot of meat, man. 711 00:52:27,277 --> 00:52:29,480 A lot of meat. 712 00:52:29,513 --> 00:52:31,482 That's a lot of fish, a lot of change of diet. 713 00:52:31,515 --> 00:52:34,451 I've been eating nothing but rabbit. 714 00:52:34,485 --> 00:52:37,388 Been eating nothing but ukalliatchiaq. 715 00:52:38,789 --> 00:52:42,559 Ukalliatchiaq eyes, ukalliatchiaq brain, 716 00:52:42,593 --> 00:52:45,529 ukalliatchiaq heart, ukalliatchiaq meat, 717 00:52:45,629 --> 00:52:47,665 and ukalliatch broth. 718 00:52:47,765 --> 00:52:51,602 So now I finally have some fish. 719 00:52:57,841 --> 00:53:00,844 I'm really excited to get pike. 720 00:53:00,878 --> 00:53:04,515 I see it as another confidence booster, 721 00:53:04,515 --> 00:53:09,887 and I realize that I might be getting several fish every day. 722 00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:11,355 Can you imagine if I tapped out 723 00:53:11,388 --> 00:53:13,157 because I was choking on a bone? 724 00:53:13,190 --> 00:53:15,225 That'd be crazy. 725 00:53:15,259 --> 00:53:20,164 This is going to allow me to put food away 726 00:53:20,164 --> 00:53:21,965 for freeze-up. 727 00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:26,537 I do feel like there is a little bit of weight 728 00:53:26,637 --> 00:53:29,239 on my shoulders to make it to the very end 729 00:53:29,273 --> 00:53:33,844 of this competition and to win this for the Iñupiaq people. 730 00:53:33,877 --> 00:53:36,113 And I feel like with the gill net, 731 00:53:36,113 --> 00:53:38,982 something that provides food for us today 732 00:53:39,083 --> 00:53:41,118 and has for thousands of years, 733 00:53:41,151 --> 00:53:42,986 I'm able to do that, to be able to be 734 00:53:43,087 --> 00:53:45,389 the last one standing out of ten people. 735 00:53:46,924 --> 00:53:49,126 Could be cooked a little more, 736 00:53:49,159 --> 00:53:51,729 but... 737 00:53:51,762 --> 00:53:52,996 who's complaining out here, right? 738 00:53:53,030 --> 00:53:54,765 It's food. 739 00:54:13,650 --> 00:54:15,452 - Oh, it's quite heavy. 740 00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:18,789 This is my gill net. 741 00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:25,162 Ladies and gentlemen, 742 00:54:25,162 --> 00:54:30,968 welcome to championship of berry picking. 743 00:54:31,001 --> 00:54:34,404 So we have two champions here. 744 00:54:34,438 --> 00:54:39,510 One is dirty hand. 745 00:54:39,543 --> 00:54:41,445 And the second champion 746 00:54:41,478 --> 00:54:46,483 recently made is berry-picker. 747 00:54:47,918 --> 00:54:49,520 OK. 748 00:54:49,553 --> 00:54:54,224 And three, two, one, go. 749 00:54:54,324 --> 00:54:57,995 Hop, hop, hop, set this, and go. 750 00:54:58,028 --> 00:55:00,697 Picking, picking, picking. 751 00:55:00,731 --> 00:55:01,799 Don't give up. 752 00:55:01,832 --> 00:55:03,300 Never give up. 753 00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:05,502 Keep on picking, keep on picking. 754 00:55:05,602 --> 00:55:09,373 Keep on picking and over! 755 00:55:09,406 --> 00:55:11,341 OK. 756 00:55:11,441 --> 00:55:14,845 Let's check what's the outcome. 757 00:55:16,079 --> 00:55:22,085 So the result is hand, 59, 758 00:55:22,119 --> 00:55:24,988 and 41 for berry-picker. 759 00:55:25,088 --> 00:55:27,491 Oh, too bad. 760 00:55:28,258 --> 00:55:31,695 Anyway, it was a fun project to do. 761 00:55:45,843 --> 00:55:48,011 Guys, 762 00:55:48,045 --> 00:55:49,680 there is a duck. 763 00:56:02,125 --> 00:56:03,126 OK. 764 00:56:54,044 --> 00:56:57,781 OK, guys, bow really paid off. 765 00:56:57,881 --> 00:57:02,920 I didn't think it will serve me this well, but squirrel 766 00:57:02,953 --> 00:57:06,790 and we go also for this duck that is dead. 767 00:57:10,994 --> 00:57:15,499 I'm very surprised to be so successful with bow. 768 00:57:20,037 --> 00:57:22,839 It's a small duck, but I'm very thankful for it 769 00:57:22,839 --> 00:57:26,677 because it's fatty and nice proteins. 770 00:57:26,677 --> 00:57:30,047 Whatever I can harvest, it's more than welcome. 771 00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:31,415 Oh. 772 00:57:34,251 --> 00:57:38,989 My brother, he's the person without whom I would 773 00:57:39,022 --> 00:57:42,159 never be in the place I am now. 774 00:57:42,159 --> 00:57:47,864 We started as kids sharing this passion for outdoor life. 775 00:57:47,898 --> 00:57:52,402 In our very young age, we started doing 776 00:57:52,436 --> 00:57:54,705 these survival challenges each year. 777 00:57:54,805 --> 00:57:56,940 Guys, this is a successful day, 778 00:57:57,040 --> 00:57:58,642 and I didn't check the snares yet. 779 00:58:02,512 --> 00:58:06,683 Each year we went for bigger challenges-- 780 00:58:06,717 --> 00:58:09,052 survival without food, 781 00:58:09,086 --> 00:58:12,756 having less gear, going in tougher environment, 782 00:58:12,756 --> 00:58:14,825 doing it for a longer time. 783 00:58:14,925 --> 00:58:19,429 And what I learned from this is that nature has its own rules, 784 00:58:19,463 --> 00:58:22,366 and you cannot complain about them 785 00:58:22,366 --> 00:58:25,068 because they are as they are. 786 00:58:25,102 --> 00:58:27,938 So I will just take it as it is. 787 00:59:27,597 --> 00:59:30,233 Crazy . 788 00:59:30,333 --> 00:59:32,602 Nice one, guys. 789 00:59:32,636 --> 00:59:34,704 It's a really good day. 790 00:59:34,805 --> 00:59:37,941 So one duck, one squirrel, one hare. 791 00:59:37,974 --> 00:59:41,311 And I didn't check all the snares yet, maybe half of them. 792 00:59:41,411 --> 00:59:42,345 Very good. 793 00:59:42,446 --> 00:59:43,680 Very good day. 794 00:59:46,316 --> 00:59:51,588 Today this land provides me with a lot of game. 795 00:59:51,621 --> 00:59:55,358 With this respect and connection with nature 796 00:59:55,392 --> 00:59:58,562 that I'm building, I'm really confident that 797 00:59:58,595 --> 01:00:02,065 I will stay on this land for quite a while. 798 01:00:02,165 --> 01:00:04,334 You must be kidding me. 799 01:00:10,474 --> 01:00:15,011 But seeing all other participants 800 01:00:15,045 --> 01:00:20,350 and seeing how many among them are super good hunters 801 01:00:20,350 --> 01:00:23,353 is definitely a huge advantage over me. 802 01:00:30,060 --> 01:00:31,828 I feel like I have that duty 803 01:00:31,862 --> 01:00:34,431 to represent the Iñupiaq people because I have 804 01:00:34,464 --> 01:00:37,200 a strong Iñupiaq skill set. 805 01:00:37,234 --> 01:00:39,970 I want to feel like I made them proud. 806 01:00:40,003 --> 01:00:41,805 I want to succeed. 807 01:00:41,838 --> 01:00:43,406 I want to win. 808 01:00:49,179 --> 01:00:51,281 I expect that multiple people might 809 01:00:51,281 --> 01:00:52,983 shoot something big, 810 01:00:53,083 --> 01:00:55,685 which will result in a really long season. 811 01:00:55,719 --> 01:00:57,787 - Well, I did it again. 812 01:01:02,392 --> 01:01:04,394 I'm just feeling really blessed. 813 01:01:08,198 --> 01:01:10,834 This is just unreal. 814 01:01:10,834 --> 01:01:14,671 Although I don't have much experience in hunting, 815 01:01:14,704 --> 01:01:19,709 I think that I will last quite long relying on my knowledge, 816 01:01:19,709 --> 01:01:24,881 but at the same time also learn a lot from nature. 817 01:01:24,915 --> 01:01:27,117 OK, here is another squirrel. 818 01:01:34,491 --> 01:01:35,959 Wow. 819 01:01:35,992 --> 01:01:38,628 I think with my youth I do have an advantage 820 01:01:38,628 --> 01:01:42,265 of not actually knowing a certain amount of things. 821 01:01:44,801 --> 01:01:48,872 Sweet as keehoo. 822 01:01:48,905 --> 01:01:50,907 You just have to be in it to win it 823 01:01:51,007 --> 01:01:53,677 and there is a chance I could win. 824 01:01:53,710 --> 01:01:57,013 And I'm happy to run on that chance. 825 01:01:57,047 --> 01:01:59,216 I think that's very important, 826 01:01:59,316 --> 01:02:03,720 being able to learn and to adapt to situations. 827 01:02:03,753 --> 01:02:05,722 I catch another rabbit. 828 01:02:06,957 --> 01:02:09,559 Thank you, God, for another rabbit. 829 01:02:09,593 --> 01:02:10,961 Thank you. 830 01:02:10,994 --> 01:02:14,130 You are blessing me more than I deserve. 831 01:02:15,365 --> 01:02:18,535 There are simple some rules that you cannot change. 832 01:02:19,436 --> 01:02:21,638 Better adapt yourself. 833 01:02:21,671 --> 01:02:23,873 And if you can do it, 834 01:02:23,873 --> 01:02:25,242 you can succeed. 835 01:02:57,674 --> 01:02:58,875 OK. 836 01:03:04,481 --> 01:03:08,151 It's a really good day for shooting. 837 01:03:08,184 --> 01:03:11,087 I don't know how, but 838 01:03:11,121 --> 01:03:12,922 I'm just doing it right. 839 01:03:19,562 --> 01:03:23,266 So we have four squirrels today 840 01:03:23,366 --> 01:03:25,402 and a duck 841 01:03:25,435 --> 01:03:27,270 and a hare. 842 01:03:27,370 --> 01:03:29,272 Pretty crazy. 843 01:03:29,306 --> 01:03:31,675 Really thankful for this. 844 01:03:31,708 --> 01:03:35,078 I'm on a very good way for winning. 845 01:03:40,884 --> 01:03:43,286 I catch a rabbit in the snare. 846 01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:45,155 Something took it first. 847 01:03:45,155 --> 01:03:46,890 This is bad sign for me. 848 01:03:46,923 --> 01:03:49,125 I call this the dead walk. 849 01:03:49,159 --> 01:03:51,328 The way to starvation. 850 01:03:51,361 --> 01:03:53,630 - It's really good to see some game hanging up. 851 01:03:53,663 --> 01:03:55,098 I feel like I'm back in the game. 852 01:03:55,198 --> 01:03:57,267 I just need to keep the pressure on. 853 01:03:57,300 --> 01:03:58,601 - Birds are moving. 854 01:03:58,635 --> 01:03:59,836 That's a load of geese. 855 01:03:59,869 --> 01:04:02,206 Winter is coming. 856 01:04:02,230 --> 01:04:02,830 .
