00:03:32,132 Okay, let's see what's the fact. 60 00:03:45,300 --> 00:03:49,065 Okay, the winner is no burning. 61 00:03:49,066 --> 00:03:51,299 So U.S. and, of course, Slovenia 62 00:03:51,300 --> 00:03:55,065 also win some money this time. 63 00:03:55,066 --> 00:03:59,165 Yeah, it's really interesting that this really depends 64 00:03:59,166 --> 00:04:02,232 on the type of the wood, how quick it burns. 65 00:04:02,233 --> 00:04:05,066 So I cover every time, everything, with ashes. 66 00:04:05,166 --> 00:04:07,666 And most of the nights, it works. 67 00:04:07,667 --> 00:04:10,966 I would put thicker logs or a bit more punky ones. 68 00:04:10,967 --> 00:04:12,833 Beside, it really depends on the type 69 00:04:12,834 --> 00:04:14,899 of the wood and the weather. 70 00:04:14,900 --> 00:04:17,599 If it's snowing, it's better to have punky wood 71 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:18,699 that burns quickly, 72 00:04:18,700 --> 00:04:21,032 but then it slows down by melting snow 73 00:04:21,033 --> 00:04:22,532 and blah, blah, blah. 74 00:04:22,533 --> 00:04:26,000 Anyway, today there is no fire. 75 00:04:26,100 --> 00:04:28,000 So I'll bring it from the shelter. 76 00:04:30,900 --> 00:04:35,099 So I feel that I'm in quite good position 77 00:04:35,100 --> 00:04:38,165 for winning this competition. 78 00:04:38,166 --> 00:04:41,867 But if there is another person with a moose, 79 00:04:41,967 --> 00:04:43,867 my disadvantage is, for sure, 80 00:04:43,967 --> 00:04:46,866 that my consumption is very high. 81 00:04:46,867 --> 00:04:49,065 I think I eat, let's say, 82 00:04:49,066 --> 00:04:53,466 1 kilo per cooking--per 1 pot. 83 00:04:53,467 --> 00:04:57,333 So this is how I calculate how much 84 00:04:57,433 --> 00:05:01,599 meat and fish I consume per day. 85 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:06,467 So this is why my plan is to do a lot of projects 86 00:05:06,567 --> 00:05:09,066 instead of being so active. 87 00:05:09,166 --> 00:05:13,300 Okay, we'll work on the shelter. 88 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,100 It's very important to keep your mind 89 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,466 occupied with projects. 90 00:05:18,467 --> 00:05:20,699 For example, pottery. 91 00:05:20,700 --> 00:05:23,265 I really like to work with clay, 92 00:05:23,266 --> 00:05:27,099 and I'm kind of postponing it to day 80 93 00:05:27,100 --> 00:05:29,065 to have something that 94 00:05:29,066 --> 00:05:31,532 I'm looking forward to doing it. 95 00:05:31,533 --> 00:05:34,866 And there are many never-ending projects 96 00:05:34,867 --> 00:05:36,966 like shelter. 97 00:05:36,967 --> 00:05:39,799 Also, my strategy is not think about 98 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,499 going home as long as possible. 99 00:05:43,500 --> 00:05:46,432 I had this wish to go for this "Alone" challenge 100 00:05:46,433 --> 00:05:50,399 for so many years, and now I'm finally here, 101 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:55,265 and it would be really stupid to wish it to end. 102 00:05:55,266 --> 00:05:58,833 So I should really think about it as a special time 103 00:05:58,834 --> 00:06:02,265 that it's given to me that I will never, ever have again. 104 00:06:02,266 --> 00:06:05,266 So I should really try to enjoy this time. 105 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,899 Okay, I did just a bit of extra insulation 106 00:06:09,900 --> 00:06:13,332 while I was waiting for 107 00:06:13,333 --> 00:06:15,532 soup to cook. 108 00:06:15,533 --> 00:06:18,766 As you see, it goes super fast. 109 00:06:18,767 --> 00:06:21,833 If I would knew this, I would just do 110 00:06:21,834 --> 00:06:24,766 just the covering just with moss. 111 00:06:24,767 --> 00:06:26,834 It's a very good insulator. 112 00:06:28,834 --> 00:06:31,799 Okay, it's time to go inside. 113 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,265 Let's have a soup. 114 00:06:40,266 --> 00:06:42,499 It's really good to have such time 115 00:06:42,500 --> 00:06:45,367 to really think about things. 116 00:06:56,700 --> 00:07:00,299 But I think it's good that you let them come, 117 00:07:00,300 --> 00:07:03,099 accept them, and then it's easier 118 00:07:03,100 --> 00:07:05,367 to put them back in the world, 119 00:07:05,467 --> 00:07:07,099 maybe in another form. 120 00:07:08,967 --> 00:07:12,599 This experience will definitely make some changes 121 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,433 in my life, and I really think 122 00:07:15,533 --> 00:07:17,599 it's gonna be for the positive. 123 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,166 We want make something for my son. 124 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,700 But I'm afraid if I start doing it, 125 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,800 I will get really emotional. 126 00:07:34,300 --> 00:07:37,633 Maybe I should overcome this and do something for him. 127 00:07:41,367 --> 00:07:45,367 Yeah, my son, I didn't know it will go this way, 128 00:07:45,467 --> 00:07:48,767 but I really, really miss him. 129 00:07:51,967 --> 00:07:56,199 So, yeah, I should keep my mind busy. 130 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,033 Okay. 131 00:08:24,166 --> 00:08:25,799 I think I can hear the owls again, 132 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:27,966 which is nice. 133 00:08:27,967 --> 00:08:29,667 Well... 134 00:08:31,467 --> 00:08:33,999 I'm done. 135 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:39,032 It's my random weave 136 00:08:39,033 --> 00:08:43,099 heart gift for my dad 137 00:08:43,100 --> 00:08:47,933 made out of willow up here. 138 00:08:47,934 --> 00:08:50,733 I think it's worked out pretty-- 139 00:08:50,734 --> 00:08:52,032 pretty good. 140 00:08:52,033 --> 00:08:55,666 I'm really quite happy with that. 141 00:08:55,667 --> 00:08:58,065 Love you, Dad. 142 00:08:58,066 --> 00:08:59,967 Thank you. 143 00:09:00,100 --> 00:09:03,999 Looking forward to giving this to you when I get back. 144 00:09:09,500 --> 00:09:12,599 Time to eat. 145 00:09:14,133 --> 00:09:16,767 My dad, he was a prison guard. 146 00:09:16,867 --> 00:09:21,366 He idolized the military and combat and war. 147 00:09:21,367 --> 00:09:23,165 Well, let's eat. 148 00:09:23,166 --> 00:09:24,966 That influenced me growing up. 149 00:09:24,967 --> 00:09:26,899 I kind of took that on board as an interest 150 00:09:26,900 --> 00:09:28,834 that we would share. 151 00:09:28,934 --> 00:09:31,299 So I joined up. 152 00:09:31,300 --> 00:09:35,132 And I was deployed in Afghanistan. 153 00:09:35,133 --> 00:09:38,199 I quickly realized that how you think it is 154 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:42,500 and how it actually is is two different things. 155 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,700 Oh, yeah. 156 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:46,833 All right. 157 00:09:46,834 --> 00:09:49,133 Trip down to

When I got back from Afghanistan in 2010, 161 00:10:00,967 --> 00:10:04,699 I just had trouble sleeping and was just on edge, 162 00:10:04,700 --> 00:10:07,332 just wired on alert a lot. 163 00:10:07,333 --> 00:10:09,899 Like, whenever I'd sit in a restaurant or something, 164 00:10:09,900 --> 00:10:11,366 I'd have to have my back to the wall 165 00:10:11,367 --> 00:10:13,467 so I could see everybody in the room. 166 00:10:18,567 --> 00:10:22,666 It took me years to actually figure out that I had PTSD. 167 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,499 I was always waiting for something negative 168 00:10:27,500 --> 00:10:29,333 to happen in life. 169 00:10:29,433 --> 00:10:32,866 Nothing in gill net yet. 170 00:10:32,867 --> 00:10:36,132 Waiting for some sort of event to happen 171 00:10:36,133 --> 00:10:40,366 that you can respond to and be ready for, 172 00:10:40,367 --> 00:10:44,332 alert or trained for. 173 00:10:45,734 --> 00:10:49,599 It's been 15 years since I got back from Afghanistan, 174 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,366 and it's part of me. 175 00:10:52,367 --> 00:10:55,366 Let's head back. 176 00:10:55,367 --> 00:10:58,632 But this experience brings more of a sense 177 00:10:58,633 --> 00:11:01,332 of calm, a sense of peace. 178 00:11:01,333 --> 00:11:05,967 I can continue to learn and to grow and to heal. 179 00:11:06,066 --> 00:11:08,766 And I have nature to thank for that. 180 00:11:11,100 --> 00:11:12,600 I'm gonna go to sleep now. 181 00:11:12,700 --> 00:11:14,800 See you in the morning. 182 00:11:29,266 --> 00:11:30,999 What is that? 183 00:11:36,700 -->

186 00:12:20,266 --> 00:12:21,699 There's no point going down 187 00:12:21,700 --> 00:12:24,065 and checking it out now. 188 00:12:24,066 --> 00:12:27,367 Find out when daylight comes. 189

miss you 809 00:51:17,734 --> 00:51:22,100 and I'm really, really looking forward to-- 810 00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:24,900 to seeing you again and continuing 811 00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:28,133 our amazing life together. 812 00:51:28,233 --> 00:51:31,333 But, yeah, I just want to let you know 813 00:51:31,433 --> 00:51:37,299 that my time and my place is still out here. 814 00:51:39,633 --> 00:51:41,899 There's still a lot to do, to learn, 815 00:51:41,900 --> 00:51:43,733 and to experience out here. 816 00:51:46,667 --> 00:51:50,733 Send my love to our boy, okay? 817 00:51:50,734 --> 00:51:53,099 I know you guys will be okay without me. 818 00:51:55,367 --> 00:51:57,399 I can't actually call home, but... 819 00:51:57,400 --> 00:52:00,065 I love you too. 820 00:52:00,066 --> 00:52:03,666 In my mind and in my heart, it's a real call, 821 00:52:03,667 --> 00:52:07,132 and I feel like Jen has received and answered it. 822 00:52:11,300 --> 00:52:14,499 I feel in a very, very, very good place. 823 00:52:14,500 --> 00:52:16,633 I don't plan on going anywhere. 824 00:52:36,700 --> 00:52:38,766 It's day 70. 825 00:52:38,767 --> 00:52:41,999 Yee-haw! 826 00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:46,699 I have a company in my shelter. 827 00:52:50,433 --> 00:52:52,399 What it could be? 828 00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:55,200 Well, it's just a moose head. 829 00:52:57,100 --> 00:52:59,833 Look at this guy. 830 00:52:59,834 --> 00:53:03,467 I'm happy I managed to put it through the doors. 831 00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:08,599 Everything seems so small compared to this head. 832 00:53:10,900 --> 00:53:13,199 . 833 00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:16,933 Hope I don't damage something. 834 00:53:16,934 --> 00:53:21,232 Okay, let's process this guy. 835 00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:26,166 It's the amount of brains. 836 00:53:27,867 --> 00:53:30,000 So, yeah, that's my company. 837 00:53:30,967 --> 00:53:36,100 No girls or whatever you imagined. 838 00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:41,800 So today's plan is to elevate the moose head. 839 00:53:41,900 --> 00:53:43,499 Okay, let's start the day. 840 00:53:46,700 --> 00:53:48,065 It's day 70. 841 00:53:48,066 --> 00:53:50,299 So it's the day that I'm putting 842 00:53:50,300 --> 00:53:53,199 this moose head on a platform. 843 00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:56,032 And I also want to put my arrow, 844 00:53:56,033 --> 00:53:58,432 with which I shot this moose, 845 00:53:58,433 --> 00:54:00,632 just things that represent me 846 00:54:00,633 --> 00:54:03,767 and my situation in this competition. 847 00:54:06,133 --> 00:54:09,132 Getting so late in this competition, 848 00:54:09,133 --> 00:54:12,699 I think you should have some kind of milestones. 849 00:54:12,700 --> 00:54:16,633 So on this rounded numbers like 70 and so on, 850 00:54:16,734 --> 00:54:20,199 I want to have something to celebrate what I did 851 00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:24,165 and to enter the new chapter of this survival journey. 852 00:54:26,567 --> 00:54:29,466 And also, if my brother would come at some point, 853 00:54:29,467 --> 00:54:31,766 I would like him to see this moose head. 854 00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:38,299 With Miha, we shared this passion since the beginning. 855 00:54:38,300 --> 00:54:42,432 We were exploring this world of bushcraft 856 00:54:42,433 --> 00:54:45,166 and survival together. 857 00:54:45,266 --> 00:54:49,499 Growing up with somebody who is always close to you 858 00:54:49,500 --> 00:54:53,566 and trying new stuff and going for crazy projects, 859 00:54:53,567 --> 00:54:57,699 that definitely pushed our common knowledge to the level 860 00:54:57,700 --> 00:55:01,799 I would never develop if I would be on my own. 861 00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:03,265 Okay. 862 00:55:05,033 --> 00:55:07,199 Our survival school was something 863 00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:10,532 that we created together. 864 00:55:10,533 --> 00:55:14,666 Okay, the platform for the moose head is done. 865 00:55:14,667 --> 00:55:16,966 It's very simple. 866 00:55:16,967 --> 00:55:19,366 I just have to tie it. 867 00:55:19,367 --> 00:55:23,332 And I want to show that what we were doing 868 00:55:23,333 --> 00:55:28,132 is a very unique thing and that we were good at it. 869 00:55:28,133 --> 00:55:30,032 Whoa. 870 00:55:30,033 --> 00:55:34,799 This is like a proper test of our skills, of our knowledge. 871 00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:38,399 And definitely, if I win this competition, 872 00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:42,065 that's a victory also for my brother because 873 00:55:42,066 --> 00:55:46,934 it's pretty much the same as he were doing it in a way. 874 00:55:52,767 --> 00:55:57,099 Moose head almighty, 875 00:55:57,100 --> 00:56:00,799 on the day 70, 876 00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:04,599 I am elevating you 877 00:56:04,600 --> 00:56:07,666 from the snow. 878 00:56:09,233 --> 00:56:15,032 Protect my meat from critters, 879 00:56:15,033 --> 00:56:18,733 bacteria, and mold. 880 00:56:18,734 --> 00:56:21,966 Protect my shelter from burning, 881 00:56:21,967 --> 00:56:26,000 my chimney from cracking and collapsing. 882 00:56:26,100 --> 00:56:28,933 Give me the strength 883 00:56:28,934 --> 00:56:32,633 to continue this journey. 884 00:56:37,734 --> 00:56:41,667 What do you want for sacrifice? 885 00:56:41,767 --> 00:56:45,999 Let's see what we have. 886 00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:48,366 Oh, mighty moose head, 887 00:56:48,367 --> 00:56:53,666 I can give you hares. 888 00:56:53,667 --> 00:56:57,232 One snowshoe hare, 889 00:56:57,233 --> 00:57:02,032 the second one, and the third one. 890 00:57:04,633 --> 00:57:06,632 Is this enough? 891 00:57:15,300 --> 00:57:17,934 Please protect this place. 892 00:57:18,033 --> 00:57:19,899 Protect me as well. 893 00:57:22,467 --> 00:57:26,532 Moose head, something to remind me to stay strong. 894 00:57:26,533 --> 00:57:29,800 It's still a long way to go. 895 00:57:29,900 --> 00:57:31,800 Don't slow down. 896 00:57:47,900 --> 00:57:49,699 Morning. 897 00:57:49,700 --> 00:57:52,500 So had a very poor night's sleep. 898 00:57:55,066 --> 00:57:59,566 I had planned to tap out today, 899 00:57:59,567 --> 00:58:02,632 but I've decided to 900 00:58:02,633 --> 00:58:06,799 just give it a little bit longer 901 00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:11,032 just that off chance that whoever else 902 00:58:11,033 --> 00:58:13,799 is out here may be thinking the same thing. 903 00:58:16,033 --> 00:58:21,299 So all I need to do today is to get firewood, keep warm. 904 00:58:21,300 --> 00:58:24,466 A nice, easy day is what I need today. 905 00:58:27,967 --> 00:58:30,033 I know I'm not in a good state. 906 00:58:30,133 --> 00:58:33,834 I'm well aware that my weight loss is significant. 907 00:58:38,533 --> 00:58:40,632 Get some more firewood there. 908 00:58:42,533 --> 00:58:44,999 It's resulting in feelings of weakness, 909 00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:47,199 particularly sort of muscle fatigue. 910 00:58:53,734 --> 00:58:55,666 Mentally, I feel very strong. 911 00:58:55,667 --> 00:58:58,232 I still feel a strong drive to continue 912 00:58:58,233 --> 00:58:59,933 as long as I can and win. 913 00:58:59,934 --> 00:59:03,066 But I'm also very conscious that my physical abilities 914 00:59:03,166 --> 00:59:05,667 are becoming significantly decreased. 915 00:59:05,767 --> 00:59:08,132 Even though I want to continue as long as I can, 916 00:59:08,133 --> 00:59:10,065 I don't want it to be at the expense 917 00:59:10,066 --> 00:59:11,799 of my long-term health. 918 00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:13,366 Oh, man. 919 00:59:17,900 --> 00:59:19,799 I'm feeling exhausted just from that. 920 00:59:21,700 --> 00:59:24,733 It's not right, is it? 921 00:59:24,734 --> 00:59:26,899 Not right at all. 922 00:59:28,667 --> 00:59:31,000 I can't accept the failure. 923 00:59:31,100 --> 00:59:34,566 My mind is telling me I can still do it. 924 00:59:34,567 --> 00:59:37,332 If there are only two of you left in the field, 925 00:59:37,333 --> 00:59:39,399 if you can just keep going a little bit longer 926 00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:42,233 than somebody else, it's in the bag. 927 00:59:42,333 --> 00:59:44,766 I think my mind is trying to compensate and do 928 00:59:44,767 --> 00:59:48,199 as much as it can to stay out here. 929 00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:51,165 But my body is unable to function 930 00:59:51,166 --> 00:59:53,666 efficiently and safely. 931 00:59:53,667 --> 00:59:55,599 No, I'm just not in a good way. 932 00:59:59,900 --> 01:00:03,332 I can't warm my toes, can't move my fingers. 933 01:00:05,100 --> 01:00:08,666 I look at my withered muscles, my skinny legs. 934 01:00:08,667 --> 01:00:11,099 And I think to myself, I've become 935 01:00:11,100 --> 01:00:14,299 physically unable to continue. 936 01:00:14,300 --> 01:00:18,099 It's a very painful thought to have to make that decision, 937 01:00:18,100 --> 01:00:21,566 but for the benefit of my own health, 938 01:00:21,567 --> 01:00:24,399 long-term and in the short-term, 939 01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:27,366 tapping out is the only sensible option. 940 01:00:27,367 --> 01:00:29,999 Oh, . 941 01:00:32,367 --> 01:00:33,866 I'm so far. 942 01:00:33,867 --> 01:00:37,065 We've already come so far. 943 01:00:37,066 --> 01:00:39,599 This is the toughest thing that I've had to film. 944 01:00:45,533 --> 01:00:48,567 Good morning. 945 01:00:48,667 --> 01:00:50,667 This is Andrew. 946 01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:55,733 I'm officially tapping out today. 947 01:01:19,433 --> 01:01:22,366 I swore, before I came out here, 948 01:01:22,367 --> 01:01:23,599 I would never tap out. 949 01:01:23,600 --> 01:01:28,399 But I think my health has made the call for me. 950 01:01:28,400 --> 01:01:30,199 I'm just feeling weak. 951 01:01:30,200 --> 01:01:35,066 And I know my body is just on its last legs. 952 01:01:35,166 --> 01:01:36,999 I just can't push it anymore. 953 01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:41,232 But I think I've done pretty well, 71 days. 954 01:01:41,233 --> 01:01:44,666 I'm pretty proud of myself. 955 01:01:44,667 --> 01:01:47,333 I like to think, as someone coming from Wales, 956 01:01:47,433 --> 01:01:52,933 that I've done something that is a little bit different. 957 01:01:52,934 --> 01:01:54,866 Wales is known for rugby, 958 01:01:54,867 --> 01:01:58,132 and it's known for singing and things like that. 959 01:01:58,133 --> 01:02:02,999 But extreme survival challenges 960 01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:05,466 are not really something Wales is known for. 961 01:02:05,467 --> 01:02:07,432 So hopefully I can put it on the map. 962 01:02:35,233 --> 01:02:38,366 I walk away from this with a strong sense of pride. 963 01:02:38,367 --> 01:02:41,432 I feel that I've done everything I can 964 01:02:41,433 --> 01:02:44,466 and I am good enough. 965 01:02:44,467 --> 01:02:46,265 My skills are strong. 966 01:02:46,266 --> 01:02:48,432 My willpower is way stronger 967 01:02:48,433 --> 01:02:50,666 than I imagined it could ever be. 968 01:02:50,667 --> 01:02:52,199 It's been painful, 969 01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:54,499 but I think it's taught me some incredibly 970 01:02:54,500 --> 01:02:56,399 good lessons that will benefit me 971 01:02:56,400 --> 01:02:57,967 as an instructor and mentor. 972 01:02:59,633 --> 01:03:01,699 I will never take anything for granted again. 973 01:03:01,700 --> 01:03:04,366 I will never assume that something will be easy. 974 01:03:04,367 --> 01:03:06,066 And you can achieve the impossible 975 01:03:06,166 --> 01:03:09,332 if you truly believe you can. 976 01:03:09,333 --> 01:03:13,065 I really don't feel I have anything to prove anymore. 977 01:03:13,066 --> 01:03:14,866 It would have been great to win, 978 01:03:14,867 --> 01:03:17,133 but if I can hold my head high 979 01:03:17,233 --> 01:03:19,432 and say that I survived 71 days 980 01:03:19,433 --> 01:03:21,699 in the Arctic in extreme temperatures, 981 01:03:21,700 --> 01:03:24,299 living off the land, it's not something 982 01:03:24,300 --> 01:03:25,499 many people can do. 983 01:03:25,500 --> 01:03:29,299 So I feel like I've done pretty well. 984 01:03:29,300 --> 01:03:31,299 "Alone" has given me an opportunity 985 01:03:31,300 --> 01:03:33,000 to prove myself in a way that 986 01:03:33,100 --> 01:03:34,499 no other opportunity could have. 987 01:03:34,500 --> 01:03:38,799 So I feel very honored to have been a part of this. 988 01:03:38,800 --> 01:03:41,999 I wouldn't change it for the world. 989 01:03:47,166 --> 01:03:50,265 I'm definitely slowing down in my walking. 990 01:03:50,266 --> 01:03:52,700 My stride is a little shorter. 991 01:03:52,800 --> 01:03:54,866 Eating, that's all I can think about. 992 01:03:56,834 --> 01:04:00,099 Grease is stuff here that just builds up. 993 01:04:00,100 --> 01:04:01,666 Flammable as well. 994 01:04:01,667 --> 01:04:06,099 It's really hard to continue to choose the difficult path. 995 01:04:06,100 --> 01:04:09,199 That smoke seems to be building up a bit. 996 01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:11,933 I'm a bit concerned they might pull me out. 997 01:04:11,934 --> 01:04:13,566 Oh, shoot, guy, you're too skinny. 998 01:04:13,567 --> 01:04:15,066 That's for sure. 999 01:04:15,166 --> 01:04:16,999 A nice big, deep breath for me.
