Original subtitles

So right near the backbone where it hurts the most. I would suggest a

helicopter evacuation.

Is that it okay?

So we have to extract him. So we have to extract you now as well.

Yeah! Oh, my God. My brother's here. You're alive!

Yeah!

Five fish.

I've got a meal yet!

This force just tears you up. Hey, Dad!

Oh, my God.

Look at the size of that thing.

That big giant spider was crawling on me. It woke me right up.

Holy cow.

Oh, my goodness. It's huge.

It's got to go.

You shall not live in my house.

Spider violence.

Now try to go to sleep.

Sweet dreams.

I wonder if I'll see Dave today.

Oh, I so hope so.

Where are you, honey?

I miss you.

When is he going to get here?

All I can do is wait and make this place better every second.

I think I'm going to work on my shelter a little bit more.

I want to make a raised bed.

I see the slope I'm dealing with here.

If I could get this place leveled out with some kind of a barrier underneath

us, that would get us off the ground and it would give you some insulation.

Maybe one more thing I could do to make him comfortable when he gets here.

These will hold the logs in place

so I can fill in

rest.

Being alone and surviving has been tough.

But I've been working so hard the last couple days and realized I'm so much

stronger, so much smarter, so much more capable than what I thought.

I just can't wait to be reunited and do this with Dave.

I'm thinking layers of cedar and hemlock and then moss on top of that.

I want to sleep comfortably.

This isn't too bad.

We're off the ground.

Finished floor.

It's a good six inches deep.

It really makes this space in here more usable.

I have a feeling Dave isn't coming today.

I don't know why I don't have a feeling he's coming today.

I'm really surprised I'm still alone.

Completely frickin' burned out on hiking.

But what I'm really burned out on, more than anything else, is this black t

-shirt that has been wet since day one.

Day two, actually.

And this morning, again,

I've got to put this monstrosity on.

I hate you, black T-shirt.

Oh, I can't believe I'm doing this.

I hate this shirt.

Oh, my goodness.

Not only is it wet, which is horrible, it also smells really bad because I've

been... hiking in it for days.

It's just gross.

I think we can pretty much pack this show up and get going.

I'm so close to the coast I can smell it.

But I got this thing to deal with.

Nasty, nasty river ripping down through here.

That's straight down. Not sure what to do.

I could easily walk across this log, but that's 20 feet above the river.

That totally goes against every grain in my body to be 20 foot above the river

like this.

One slip, and, you know, if you do a header into the rock, that's it.

See if we can pick our way down.

What is the best way to do this?

There really isn't a best way to do it.

But good luck.

Okay.

I wonder about that, because it could be deep.

There is no telling.

I can make it through that rock.

Famous last words of a guy with a wet leg.

I think the coast is over the next ridge.

Look way out there.

It's hard to see it, but there's the ocean out there.

My heading is that direction.

It's unreal to have been at this for days and days and days.

And you finally see where you're going.

Brooke is right over there.

One mile.

Three miles? Who knows?

But she's out there. She's right out there somewhere.

Stop getting hard.

I have no idea how much further I have to go.

I'm guessing Ted is somewhere on the coast below.

It's probably another two days, and I'm completely out of food.

It's concerning.

I'm feeling kind of nervous, you know, that I'm just not going to be able to

make it, that I don't have enough food.

I'm hoping that Ted's harvested a deer, tanned the hide, smoked

the meat, but saved some fresh filet mignon kind of thing for me.

Ted is the only other guy I know that can handle just being cold and wet and

miserable and doing hard physical labor day after day.

I know that he's doing really awesome.

Right now...

I'm going to pick a whole bunch of the greens.

There's what I think is watercress here and a whole bunch of dandelion greens.

And maybe those will give me an extra push.

Dandelions have more nutrients in them than broccoli. Dandelion greens, that

is. It's going to be a nutritious morsel.

Not a filling one, but a nutritious one.

These here are salal.

Buds. These almost have like a little bit of a sweet flavor to them.

Just something to give me a few calories to keep me going.

All right.

Here are a few nice looking dandelion greens again.

Oh, my God.

I see a grouse up ahead.

That's some much-needed protein.

I'm going to try to kill it.

I'm using this rock wall right ahead of me.

That's a natural barrier.

It's just going to allow me to sneak up on it.

Gross. Up ahead.

I'm going to try to kill it.

So close.

Man, that stick just missed it.

Like literally by one inch.

Damn it.

Look, I smashed my GoPro, whipped off my head.

Man, that would have been so freaking awesome to have gotten that.

All in all, foraging is just not going to be able to cut it.

Only watercress and the dandelion green, so it's going to be a skimpy dinner

tonight.

I'm feeling nervous that I'm not getting enough protein.

I'm going to keep pushing to find Ted, but unfortunately, it takes X amount of

calories. If your car runs out of gas, you can't go anywhere.

Today is the first day that I have to actually take a number two.

I'm sure you all wanted to hear that, but what that says to me is I haven't

really eaten enough since I got out here.

So I guess you're all wondering what we'll wipe with out

here.

Moss.

There's a few different varieties.

This one's not bad. There's some better ones.

You might think it sucks, but it's all moist. It's sort of like got a spritz,

like at the grocery store, the spritz of the vegetables.

And, you know, it's a dual-action cleaner.

It's better than you think.

Believe me.

Sometimes it's better than toilet paper.

Yay.

I'll spare you on watching that one.

The tide is way out, and I'm going to check my gill net.

The first couple days, my gill net was amazing.

Caught me five fish, and then it's just nothing. I haven't caught anything in

it. I'm feeling some of the effects of hunger already.

Things are really starting to get hard.

Things that are simple for me I'm finding challenging, really exhausting.

I'm really needing food.

They say you can't go through a period of significant change without also going

through a period of pain.

Hopefully for me, it's a positive change, and I come out of this

experience a better person.

Come on, baby.

Don't see any fish in it.

Son of a bitch.

I should probably spend the next little while harvesting limpets.

I have to really come up with a more sustainable, better way of collecting

food.

Especially when Jim gets here, like, we're going to need way more food than

I'm getting now.

That's going to be the deciding factor here.

It's a lot of work to clean tiny ones.

I feel like when Jim gets here, it's going to give me a real boost.

And it won't be so difficult to do everything.

Oh, this is bad.

I have no idea when it fell off. I have no idea where it could have been.

I don't know what I'm going to do.

There's no point to even try to look for it.

There's no way I would ever find it.

I can't believe I've lost my axe before I've even gotten to meet up with my dad.

I was like, oh, hey, dad, I'm finally here. By the way, the axe is gone.

Sorry.

This is the roughest forest I have ever been in. Probably the roughest forest

there is in the world. I am not lying to you. I am not kidding.

And I'm just out here getting beat to death every day, day in, day out, just

trying to cover ground, just trying. trying to meet up with my dad.

I don't want to get to my dad when I'm already half dead.

And every step I take is, I mean, it's just one step closer to the last step

I'm going to take.

This hike is just devastating.

I'm just ready. I'm just ready to give up.

Sam shows up today.

I keep hollering for him every once in a while.

Sam!

He'll answer me when he gets here, I guess.

I've had virtually nothing to eat today.

Almost nothing at all.

Just a little sea asparagus.

I've got to eat something.

I'm getting so weak.

I can barely do anything.

So as much as I find them distasteful, I'm going to go out and

eat some limpets raw because I don't have anything dry to even start a

fire with.

Everything is so wet.

Oh, God, I don't want to eat limpets.

I want a cheeseburger so bad.

I started going out fishing and crabbing with my dad when I was very young.

I would go along, even when it was just him doing the fishing.

My mom says she has a picture of me somewhere with a bag of candy in one

hand and a fish in the other.

Man cannot live on limpets alone.

Started taking Sam out with me.

When he was just young also, he loves fishing. He loves the outdoors.

He goes crazy if he has to stay inside for any length of time.

He's a true outdoorsman.

I'm proud of that.

Yeah, that's enough.

Man, I wish I knew when Sam was going to get here.

Must be brutal.

He doesn't even have a shelter set up.

I don't think that I could do what he's doing.

It would be too much for me, I think.

I'm a little too old for that stuff.

Definitely coming to grips with my limitations.

Man, I'm getting exhausted.

I'll tell you that right now.

It's hard for me to keep moving on at this point.

It's not easy.

Just doing this with no food like the way I'm doing it.

I just feel every last ounce of energy being sucked out of me.

stop and make camp here because I'm just beat as hell.

One of the things that keeps me going when times get tough is thinking about

what it used to be like for outdoorsmen and for people whose way of life was

living off the land in remote areas.

I mean, today everybody's so spoiled. You know, people have quads, they have

snowmobiles, they have powerboats, they have jeeps.

Back then, a good hunter was an athlete.

Now, a good hunter can be grossly obese and just bomb everywhere on a quad.

What I'm doing right now was just commonplace at one time. And you realize

that a lot of what you think is hard is really just in your head. What we think

is our breaking point is nowhere close to where it actually is.

Anything's possible doing things by your own sweat and blood, your own muscle.

And that's definitely what we're doing out here.

It's looking all right.

There's a fresh pile of mountain lion right next to where I'm camping.

Even looks like a little trail going down that way.

A little mountain lion trail.

Spent so much time setting up.

Feel worn down and tired.

This is home for the night.

the day where I put on my dry clothes.

Oh, it's just my favorite part of the day.

Just my favorite.

Oh, there's that feeling. That warm, dry feeling.

Nothing like it.

Holy... Something's out there.

Something's looking at me, crouched down.

It might be the cougar.

It's staring at me.

Something's out there.

Something's looking at me crouched down.

Probably be...

I can't see.

Nothing.

Probably took off.

But still lots of time to get eaten.

Maybe tomorrow I'll see Ted.

Maybe it'll be a couple more days.

Hard to tell though when I have no idea where I am or how far I need to go

still. I don't see how anyone could go a whole lot faster though.

I kind of wish there was more limpets over in this section.

Really just aren't many at all. I've seen one through here.

In this whole section, I've seen one limpet.

And that's what I was thinking I was going to fish with.

I might have to go back.

What do we have here?

Not a limpet, but...

Someone's garbage.

Look at that. A water bottle.

That's a find.

Wow.

Look what I found.

I can saw the top off and turn that inside out to catch minnows and fish and

little things, or I could use it as a little canteen because all I have is a

pot right now.

I'm finding stuff, but I'm not finding food.

Oh, man, so hungry.

Being in this spot is going to be very challenging.

There's some shore crabs and some limpets, but there's not a lot of rocks

to turn over with food under them.

My gill net's just been an absolute nightmare.

I just, I haven't caught anything in it throughout the past probably five days.

Just had a look at the net and I can't fully see it, but...

It looks like there's nothing in it.

Pretty upsetting.

By the time Jim gets here, I'd like to have a little more done than just a

piece of shelter and a gill net set up with no food for him.

It's not easy carrying a 60-pound pack with no food, and when he gets here,

there's just nothing.

So realistically, we're going to have to get other food sources or we're not

going to last long here.

My cove here has absolutely no action, nothing. I'm not seeing any fish.

So I'm thinking of starting to make a boat.

It's a nice curve here.

The front of the boat, you imagine, goes like that.

I'm telling you, when you're hungry, you move slower.

You can't make your decisions as easily out here. Every little decision is just

magnified. It has to be the right decision, or you have to commit to it

and make it the right decision.

And that's one of the things I'm struggling with.

This would be the middle of my boat, or makeshift canoe, whatever you want to

call it.

And then this piece here is the front.

I'll have ridges coming across here and across the back or this other side, and

then a few more pieces running the length.

And then I wrap it with the tarp.

So much pressure on everything. It's a really hard burden.

I really hope when there's two people here, we can come to decisions together

and work at things together and start producing some results.

What do you think of that?

Starting to look like a boat or what?

I don't know if what I'm doing is the right thing to do at this moment in

time. I feel terrible just knowing that if I fail, we don't get a second chance.

Hit my head.

Maybe I'll find some more treasures out here.

A couple water bottles.

Maybe good traps.

Little fishies.

Oh, I hope Dave shows up today.

He's such a boost.

I hate to get my hopes up. I mean, I have no idea how far away he started,

his pace.

I don't know. I'm hopeful, but I've been thinking that for the last three days,

and he hasn't showed up.

I see some netting with some floats. Oh, my gosh.

I'm going to go around the other way. Holy crap.

This is awesome.

Wow.

The mother load.

This is awesome.

There's a lot of line in there.

We can make a net.

Gill net would be fantastic.

Wow.

This sucker is heavy.

It's going to be a project getting it all out, but that's...

It's not going to untangle itself.

Got to make progress. We got to eat.

That's freaky.

I'm like, Mom!

Mom!

It scared me for a second.

Very odd noise.

How are his voices coming from?

Oh, my goodness.

I'm so happy to see you.

Oh, man.

How are you doing?

Just happy to see you.

What a great reception.

Like a dead pig.

You're skinny.

You've lost weight.

You look fantastic.

Look at you.

Well, thanks for the moment of confidence.

I can't believe I'm here.

Would you like to see your home? Let's go.

I've been working really hard to get this set up for you so you can rest.

Oh, and this is our meadow.

Love the meadow. Isn't it cool?

This is the most beautiful place I've seen since I'm getting dropped off. This

is our hobbit hole.

I love it.

You can take your pack off now. This is home.

Finally, finally, I'm done. And I can take this wet black t-shirt off for the

last friggin' time.

I'm so happy now.

Hate you, black shirt.

I don't really mean it. I'll dry you out. We'll be cool again. We can be

friends.

That's it.

I'm home.

Oh, man, this is awesome.

This is so sweet.

Check that out.

She's got an indoor fire pit.

That's a woman.

This is super cool, hun. I love this.

Do I have to get up in the morning and walk 10 miles?

Maybe you can sleep in.

Wow.

I get to sleep in.

But after you cut us some firewood and catch fish.

Holy cow.

I see a lot of water out in front of me.

There's a steep hill between me and the water, and you can just see it through

the trees.

Oh, God, I'm hoping it's actual coastline and my dad's down there

somewhere.

I can only imagine how stressed he is.

I'm sure he's just sitting there so worried.

I'm sure he never expected it would take this long.

Hopefully, he's been working hard. Hopefully, he's making a nice, twisty

bed for me to lay on and just sleep for like three days straight.

Oh, that's a welcome sight.

Shoreline. Oh, I can't wait to drop this tag and be done with it.

This thing is absolutely brutal.

I'm seeing a lot more kelps, a lot more algaes, a lot more seaweed.

Hopefully that's a good sign. I mean, I'm getting close to the ocean.

I don't want to go jinxing anything, but, uh...

I think the end is finally in sight.

I've got to be close to my dad.

Dad!

I've got to find him.

I'm just getting anxious.

I just don't know.

I'm just going to keep wandering in this direction.

I just heard the first call from my dad and it couldn't come at a better time.

We're going to go find him.

Dad!

Oh, Sam.

Oh, my God.

Oh, I can't believe it.

Oh, my God. Nine days. Just can't believe you did it. It must have been

absolutely horrible.

You okay? Everything all right? I'm fine. I'm just sore.

I can't believe it's been nine days. I stopped keeping track after four.

There were days I spent hours at a time on my hands and knees.

Honestly, cannot believe you made it.

I thought everyone would tap out.

Well, at the end of the day, I knew I wasn't giving up before I got here. This

is what we're here for.

Let's go get up under the top. I got to get my pack off my back. Get all that

off of you.

Absolutely.

Finally finding my dad. It's incredible.

It was getting to the point where I didn't know if it was ever going to

happen.

Holy cow.

Sam made it. I can't believe it.

I'm so happy. That makes me feel so much better.

I knew that Sam, once he got started with this, he wouldn't quit. I knew it.

He's a tough guy.

And he's my son, and I love him a lot.

Things were really, really bad.

They all of a sudden got way worse.

Still no Jim yet today.

I feel like when he gets here, it's going to give me a real sense of hope.

Jim! Being successful fishing out here is going to be the difference between

staying and going home.

Isn't that beautiful?
