00:03:20,709 Okay, let's see what's the fact. 57 00:03:33,814 --> 00:03:37,675 Okay, the winner is no burning. 58 00:03:37,676 --> 00:03:39,813 So U.S. and, of course, Slovenia 59 00:03:39,814 --> 00:03:43,675 also win some money this time. 60 00:03:43,676 --> 00:03:47,709 Yeah, it's really interesting that this really depends 61 00:03:47,710 --> 00:03:50,709 on the type of the wood, how quick it burns. 62 00:03:50,710 --> 00:03:53,640 So I cover every time, everything, with ashes. 63 00:03:53,641 --> 00:03:56,123 And most of the nights, it works. 64 00:03:56,124 --> 00:03:59,502 I would put thicker logs or a bit more punky ones. 65 00:03:59,503 --> 00:04:01,433 Beside, it really depends on the type 66 00:04:01,434 --> 00:04:03,433 of the wood and the weather. 67 00:04:03,434 --> 00:04:06,192 If it's snowing, it's better to have punky wood 68 00:04:06,193 --> 00:04:07,295 that burns quickly, 69 00:04:07,296 --> 00:04:09,606 but then it slows down by melting snow 70 00:04:09,607 --> 00:04:11,054 and blah, blah, blah. 71 00:04:11,055 --> 00:04:14,640 Anyway, today there is no fire. 72 00:04:14,641 --> 00:04:16,606 So I'll bring it from the shelter. 73 00:04:19,503 --> 00:04:23,709 So I feel that I'm in quite good position 74 00:04:23,710 --> 00:04:26,778 for winning this competition. 75 00:04:26,779 --> 00:04:30,502 But if there is another person with a moose, 76 00:04:30,503 --> 00:04:32,502 my disadvantage is, for sure, 77 00:04:32,503 --> 00:04:35,468 that my consumption is very high. 78 00:04:35,469 --> 00:04:37,675 I think I eat, let's say, 79 00:04:37,676 --> 00:04:42,054 1 kilo per cooking--per 1 pot. 80 00:04:42,055 --> 00:04:45,951 So this is how I calculate how much 81 00:04:45,952 --> 00:04:50,088 meat and fish I consume per day. 82 00:04:50,089 --> 00:04:55,020 So this is why my plan is to do a lot of projects 83 00:04:55,021 --> 00:04:57,640 instead of being so active. 84 00:04:57,641 --> 00:05:01,951 Okay, we'll work on the shelter. 85 00:05:01,952 --> 00:05:04,709 It's very important to keep your mind 86 00:05:04,710 --> 00:05:07,054 occupied with projects. 87 00:05:07,055 --> 00:05:09,295 For example, pottery. 88 00:05:09,296 --> 00:05:11,882 I really like to work with clay, 89 00:05:11,883 --> 00:05:15,675 and I'm kind of postponing it to day 80 90 00:05:15,676 --> 00:05:17,675 to have something that 91 00:05:17,676 --> 00:05:20,123 I'm looking forward to doing it. 92 00:05:20,124 --> 00:05:23,433 And there are many never-ending projects 93 00:05:23,434 --> 00:05:25,571 like shelter. 94 00:05:25,572 --> 00:05:28,330 Also, my strategy is not think about 95 00:05:28,331 --> 00:05:32,123 going home as long as possible. 96 00:05:32,124 --> 00:05:34,985 I had this wish to go for this "Alone" challenge 97 00:05:34,986 --> 00:05:39,020 for so many years, and now I'm finally here, 98 00:05:39,021 --> 00:05:43,882 and it would be really stupid to wish it to end. 99 00:05:43,883 --> 00:05:47,433 So I should really think about it as a special time 100 00:05:47,434 --> 00:05:50,813 that it's given to me that I will never, ever have again. 101 00:05:50,814 --> 00:05:53,745 So I should really try to enjoy this time. 102 00:05:55,676 --> 00:05:58,433 Okay, I did just a bit of extra insulation 103 00:05:58,434 --> 00:06:01,916 while I was waiting for 104 00:06:01,917 --> 00:06:04,123 soup to cook. 105 00:06:04,124 --> 00:06:07,364 As you see, it goes super fast. 106 00:06:07,365 --> 00:06:10,433 If I would knew this, I would just do 107 00:06:10,434 --> 00:06:13,364 just the covering just with moss. 108 00:06:13,365 --> 00:06:15,365 It's a very good insulator. 109 00:06:17,365 --> 00:06:20,399 Okay, it's time to go inside. 110 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,847 Let's have a soup. 111 00:06:28,883 --> 00:06:31,088 It's really good to have such time 112 00:06:31,089 --> 00:06:33,917 to really think about things. 113 00:06:45,227 --> 00:06:48,847 But I think it's good that you let them come, 114 00:06:48,848 --> 00:06:51,640 accept them, and then it's easier 115 00:06:51,641 --> 00:06:53,916 to put them back in the world, 116 00:06:53,917 --> 00:06:55,606 maybe in another form. 117 00:06:57,503 --> 00:07:01,192 This experience will definitely make some changes 118 00:07:01,193 --> 00:07:04,054 in my life, and I really think 119 00:07:04,055 --> 00:07:06,123 it's gonna be for the positive. 120 00:07:08,986 --> 00:07:11,710 We want make something for my son. 121 00:07:13,331 --> 00:07:15,330 But I'm afraid if I start doing it, 122 00:07:15,331 --> 00:07:18,331 I will get really emotional. 123 00:07:22,848 --> 00:07:26,158 Maybe I should overcome this and do something for him. 124 00:07:29,917 --> 00:07:33,985 Yeah, my son, I didn't know it will go this way, 125 00:07:33,986 --> 00:07:37,296 but I really, really miss him. 126 00:07:40,503 --> 00:07:44,778 So, yeah, I should keep my mind busy. 127 00:07:44,779 --> 00:07:46,640 Okay. 128 00:08:12,710 --> 00:08:14,330 I think I can hear the owls again, 129 00:08:14,331 --> 00:08:16,537 which is nice. 130 00:08:16,538 --> 00:08:18,193 Well... 131 00:08:19,986 --> 00:08:22,571 I'm done. 132 00:08:22,572 --> 00:08:27,606 It's my random weave 133 00:08:27,607 --> 00:08:31,640 heart gift for my dad 134 00:08:31,641 --> 00:08:36,537 made out of willow up here. 135 00:08:36,538 --> 00:08:39,330 I think it's worked out pretty-- 136 00:08:39,331 --> 00:08:40,640 pretty good. 137 00:08:40,641 --> 00:08:44,261 I'm really quite happy with that. 138 00:08:44,262 --> 00:08:46,640 Love you, Dad. 139 00:08:46,641 --> 00:08:48,571 Thank you. 140 00:08:48,572 --> 00:08:52,502 Looking forward to giving this to you when I get back. 141 00:08:57,952 --> 00:09:01,192 Time to eat. 142 00:09:02,710 --> 00:09:05,399 My dad, he was a prison guard. 143 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:09,951 He idolized the military and combat and war. 144 00:09:09,952 --> 00:09:11,744 Well, let's eat. 145 00:09:11,745 --> 00:09:13,502 That influenced me growing up. 146 00:09:13,503 --> 00:09:15,502 I kind of took that on board as an interest 147 00:09:15,503 --> 00:09:17,468 that we would share. 148 00:09:17,469 --> 00:09:19,882 So I joined up. 149 00:09:19,883 --> 00:09:23,744 And I was deployed in Afghanistan. 150 00:09:23,745 --> 00:09:26,813 I quickly realized that how you think it is 151 00:09:26,814 --> 00:09:31,123 and how it actually is is two different things. 152 00:09:31,124 --> 00:09:33,330 Oh, yeah. 153 00:09:33,331 --> 00:09:35,433 All right. 154 00:09:35,434 --> 00:09:37,744 Trip down to Broken Bridge, fill that back up, 155 00:09:37,745 --> 00:09:39,192 get rid of the bones. 156 00:09:39,193 --> 00:09:42,640 Come back and settle in for the evening. 157 00:09:46,227 --> 00:09:49,502 When I got back from Afghanistan in 2010, 158 00:09:49,503 --> 00:09:53,295 I just had trouble sleeping and was just on edge, 159 00:09:53,296 --> 00:09:55,951 just wired on alert a lot. 160 00:09:55,952 --> 00:09:58,502 Like, whenever I'd sit in a restaurant or something, 161 00:09:58,503 --> 00:09:59,951 I'd have to have my back to the wall 162 00:09:59,952 --> 00:10:02,088 so I could see everybody in the room. 163 00:10:07,124 --> 00:10:11,192 It took me years to actually figure out that I had PTSD. 164 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,020 I was always waiting for something negative 165 00:10:16,021 --> 00:10:17,951 to happen in life. 166 00:10:17,952 --> 00:10:21,468 Nothing in gill net yet. 167 00:10:21,469 --> 00:10:24,675 Waiting for some sort of event to happen 168 00:10:24,676 --> 00:10:28,882 that you can respond to and be ready for, 169 00:10:28,883 --> 00:10:32,916 alert or trained for. 170 00:10:34,331 --> 00:10:38,192 It's been 15 years since I got back from Afghanistan, 171 00:10:38,193 --> 00:10:40,951 and it's part of me. 172 00:10:40,952 --> 00:10:43,985 Let's head back. 173 00:10:43,986 --> 00:10:47,157 But this experience brings more of a sense 174 00:10:47,158 --> 00:10:49,813 of calm, a sense of peace. 175 00:10:49,814 --> 00:10:54,537 I can continue to learn and to grow and to heal. 176 00:10:54,538 --> 00:10:57,261 And I have nature to thank for that. 177 00:10:59,641 --> 00:11:01,226 I'm gonna go to sleep now. 178 00:11:01,227 --> 00:11:03,331 See you in the morning. 179 00:11:17,848 --> 00:11:19,571 What is that? 180 00:11:25,227 --> 00:11:28,433 There's something calling down at Broken Bridge. 181 00:11:33,883 --> 00:11:35,744 Sounds large. 182 00:11:39,641 --> 00:11:44,296 I just don't want it to be bear and go into my gill net. 183 00:12:08,676 --> 00:12:10,192 There's no point going down 184 00:12:10,193 --> 00:12:12,571 and checking it out now. 185 00:12:12,572 --> 00:12:15,882 Find out when daylight comes. 186

miss you 806 00:51:06,055 --> 00:51:10,468 and I'm really, really looking forward to-- 807 00:51:10,469 --> 00:51:13,261 to seeing you again and continuing 808 00:51:13,262 --> 00:51:16,502 our amazing life together. 809 00:51:16,503 --> 00:51:19,709 But, yeah, I just want to let you know 810 00:51:19,710 --> 00:51:25,606 that my time and my place is still out here. 811 00:51:27,952 --> 00:51:30,226 There's still a lot to do, to learn, 812 00:51:30,227 --> 00:51:32,054 and to experience out here. 813 00:51:34,986 --> 00:51:39,054 Send my love to our boy, okay? 814 00:51:39,055 --> 00:51:41,399 I know you guys will be okay without me. 815 00:51:43,710 --> 00:51:45,709 I can't actually call home, but... 816 00:51:45,710 --> 00:51:48,330 I love you too. 817 00:51:48,331 --> 00:51:51,951 In my mind and in my heart, it's a real call, 818 00:51:51,952 --> 00:51:55,364 and I feel like Jen has received and answered it. 819 00:51:59,572 --> 00:52:02,847 I feel in a very, very, very good place. 820 00:52:02,848 --> 00:52:04,985 I don't plan on going anywhere. 821 00:52:24,952 --> 00:52:27,020 It's day 70. 822 00:52:27,021 --> 00:52:30,192 Yee-haw! 823 00:52:30,193 --> 00:52:34,951 I have a company in my shelter. 824 00:52:38,676 --> 00:52:40,675 What it could be? 825 00:52:40,676 --> 00:52:43,400 Well, it's just a moose head. 826 00:52:45,296 --> 00:52:48,088 Look at this guy. 827 00:52:48,089 --> 00:52:51,607 I'm happy I managed to put it through the doors. 828 00:52:52,952 --> 00:52:56,778 Everything seems so small compared to this head. 829 00:52:59,089 --> 00:53:01,399 [bleep]. 830 00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:05,192 Hope I don't damage something. 831 00:53:05,193 --> 00:53:09,399 Okay, let's process this guy. 832 00:53:11,193 --> 00:53:14,365 It's the amount of brains. 833 00:53:16,055 --> 00:53:18,193 So, yeah, that's my company. 834 00:53:19,158 --> 00:53:24,296 No girls or whatever you imagined. 835 00:53:25,986 --> 00:53:30,088 So today's plan is to elevate the moose head. 836 00:53:30,089 --> 00:53:31,744 Okay, let's start the day. 837 00:53:34,883 --> 00:53:36,330 It's day 70. 838 00:53:36,331 --> 00:53:38,571 So it's the day that I'm putting 839 00:53:38,572 --> 00:53:41,399 this moose head on a platform. 840 00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:44,226 And I also want to put my arrow, 841 00:53:44,227 --> 00:53:46,709 with which I shot this moose, 842 00:53:46,710 --> 00:53:48,847 just things that represent me 843 00:53:48,848 --> 00:53:51,985 and my situation in this competition. 844 00:53:54,331 --> 00:53:57,330 Getting so late in this competition, 845 00:53:57,331 --> 00:54:00,916 I think you should have some kind of milestones. 846 00:54:00,917 --> 00:54:04,951 So on this rounded numbers like 70 and so on, 847 00:54:04,952 --> 00:54:08,399 I want to have something to celebrate what I did 848 00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:12,433 and to enter the new chapter of this survival journey. 849 00:54:14,779 --> 00:54:17,744 And also, if my brother would come at some point, 850 00:54:17,745 --> 00:54:20,020 I would like him to see this moose head. 851 00:54:21,883 --> 00:54:26,571 With Miha, we shared this passion since the beginning. 852 00:54:26,572 --> 00:54:30,675 We were exploring this world of bushcraft 853 00:54:30,676 --> 00:54:33,468 and survival together. 854 00:54:33,469 --> 00:54:37,778 Growing up with somebody who is always close to you 855 00:54:37,779 --> 00:54:41,847 and trying new stuff and going for crazy projects, 856 00:54:41,848 --> 00:54:45,985 that definitely pushed our common knowledge to the level 857 00:54:45,986 --> 00:54:49,985 I would never develop if I would be on my own. 858 00:54:49,986 --> 00:54:51,433 Okay. 859 00:54:53,158 --> 00:54:55,399 Our survival school was something 860 00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:58,744 that we created together. 861 00:54:58,745 --> 00:55:02,916 Okay, the platform for the moose head is done. 862 00:55:02,917 --> 00:55:05,157 It's very simple. 863 00:55:05,158 --> 00:55:07,571 I just have to tie it. 864 00:55:07,572 --> 00:55:11,606 And I want to show that what we were doing 865 00:55:11,607 --> 00:55:16,364 is a very unique thing and that we were good at it. 866 00:55:16,365 --> 00:55:18,295 Whoa. 867 00:55:18,296 --> 00:55:23,054 This is like a proper test of our skills, of our knowledge. 868 00:55:23,055 --> 00:55:26,675 And definitely, if I win this competition, 869 00:55:26,676 --> 00:55:30,330 that's a victory also for my brother because 870 00:55:30,331 --> 00:55:35,124 it's pretty much the same as he were doing it in a way. 871 00:55:40,952 --> 00:55:45,364 Moose head almighty, 872 00:55:45,365 --> 00:55:48,985 on the day 70, 873 00:55:48,986 --> 00:55:52,778 I am elevating you 874 00:55:52,779 --> 00:55:55,847 from the snow. 875 00:55:57,365 --> 00:56:03,295 Protect my meat from critters, 876 00:56:03,296 --> 00:56:06,916 bacteria, and mold. 877 00:56:06,917 --> 00:56:10,226 Protect my shelter from burning, 878 00:56:10,227 --> 00:56:14,295 my chimney from cracking and collapsing. 879 00:56:14,296 --> 00:56:17,192 Give me the strength 880 00:56:17,193 --> 00:56:20,916 to continue this journey. 881 00:56:25,986 --> 00:56:29,951 What do you want for sacrifice? 882 00:56:29,952 --> 00:56:34,261 Let's see what we have. 883 00:56:34,262 --> 00:56:36,606 Oh, mighty moose head, 884 00:56:36,607 --> 00:56:41,916 I can give you hares. 885 00:56:41,917 --> 00:56:45,502 One snowshoe hare, 886 00:56:45,503 --> 00:56:50,157 the second one, and the third one. 887 00:56:52,745 --> 00:56:54,744 Is this enough? 888 00:57:03,572 --> 00:57:06,226 Please protect this place. 889 00:57:06,227 --> 00:57:08,157 Protect me as well. 890 00:57:10,745 --> 00:57:14,709 Moose head, something to remind me to stay strong. 891 00:57:14,710 --> 00:57:18,088 It's still a long way to go. 892 00:57:18,089 --> 00:57:20,088 Don't slow down. 893 00:57:36,021 --> 00:57:37,916 Morning. 894 00:57:37,917 --> 00:57:40,641 So had a very poor night's sleep. 895 00:57:43,193 --> 00:57:47,675 I had planned to tap out today, 896 00:57:47,676 --> 00:57:50,778 but I've decided to 897 00:57:50,779 --> 00:57:54,916 just give it a little bit longer 898 00:57:54,917 --> 00:57:59,157 just that off chance that whoever else 899 00:57:59,158 --> 00:58:01,985 is out here may be thinking the same thing. 900 00:58:04,193 --> 00:58:09,502 So all I need to do today is to get firewood, keep warm. 901 00:58:09,503 --> 00:58:12,640 A nice, easy day is what I need today. 902 00:58:16,089 --> 00:58:18,261 I know I'm not in a good state. 903 00:58:18,262 --> 00:58:22,054 I'm well aware that my weight loss is significant. 904 00:58:26,710 --> 00:58:28,744 Get some more firewood there. 905 00:58:30,745 --> 00:58:33,192 It's resulting in feelings of weakness, 906 00:58:33,193 --> 00:58:35,364 particularly sort of muscle fatigue. 907 00:58:41,848 --> 00:58:43,882 Mentally, I feel very strong. 908 00:58:43,883 --> 00:58:46,433 I still feel a strong drive to continue 909 00:58:46,434 --> 00:58:48,088 as long as I can and win. 910 00:58:48,089 --> 00:58:51,226 But I'm also very conscious that my physical abilities 911 00:58:51,227 --> 00:58:53,847 are becoming significantly decreased. 912 00:58:53,848 --> 00:58:56,261 Even though I want to continue as long as I can, 913 00:58:56,262 --> 00:58:58,123 I don't want it to be at the expense 914 00:58:58,124 --> 00:58:59,916 of my long-term health. 915 00:58:59,917 --> 00:59:01,537 Oh, man. 916 00:59:06,021 --> 00:59:07,985 I'm feeling exhausted just from that. 917 00:59:09,814 --> 00:59:12,847 It's not right, is it? 918 00:59:12,848 --> 00:59:15,088 Not right at all. 919 00:59:16,848 --> 00:59:19,226 I can't accept the failure. 920 00:59:19,227 --> 00:59:22,709 My mind is telling me I can still do it. 921 00:59:22,710 --> 00:59:25,537 If there are only two of you left in the field, 922 00:59:25,538 --> 00:59:27,537 if you can just keep going a little bit longer 923 00:59:27,538 --> 00:59:30,468 than somebody else, it's in the bag. 924 00:59:30,469 --> 00:59:32,951 I think my mind is trying to compensate and do 925 00:59:32,952 --> 00:59:36,399 as much as it can to stay out here. 926 00:59:36,400 --> 00:59:39,364 But my body is unable to function 927 00:59:39,365 --> 00:59:41,778 efficiently and safely. 928 00:59:41,779 --> 00:59:43,778 No, I'm just not in a good way. 929 00:59:48,089 --> 00:59:51,502 I can't warm my toes, can't move my fingers. 930 00:59:53,296 --> 00:59:56,882 I look at my withered muscles, my skinny legs. 931 00:59:56,883 --> 00:59:59,295 And I think to myself, I've become 932 00:59:59,296 --> 01:00:02,502 physically unable to continue. 933 01:00:02,503 --> 01:00:06,295 It's a very painful thought to have to make that decision, 934 01:00:06,296 --> 01:00:09,778 but for the benefit of my own health, 935 01:00:09,779 --> 01:00:12,606 long-term and in the short-term, 936 01:00:12,607 --> 01:00:15,537 tapping out is the only sensible option. 937 01:00:15,538 --> 01:00:18,192 Oh, [bleep]. 938 01:00:20,538 --> 01:00:21,985 I'm so far. 939 01:00:21,986 --> 01:00:25,261 We've already come so far. 940 01:00:25,262 --> 01:00:27,778 This is the toughest thing that I've had to film. 941 01:00:33,710 --> 01:00:36,778 Good morning. 942 01:00:36,779 --> 01:00:38,814 This is Andrew. 943 01:00:40,917 --> 01:00:43,916 I'm officially tapping out today. 944 01:01:07,572 --> 01:01:10,502 I swore, before I came out here, 945 01:01:10,503 --> 01:01:11,813 I would never tap out. 946 01:01:11,814 --> 01:01:16,537 But I think my health has made the call for me. 947 01:01:16,538 --> 01:01:18,399 I'm just feeling weak. 948 01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:23,295 And I know my body is just on its last legs. 949 01:01:23,296 --> 01:01:25,192 I just can't push it anymore. 950 01:01:25,193 --> 01:01:29,433 But I think I've done pretty well, 71 days. 951 01:01:29,434 --> 01:01:32,882 I'm pretty proud of myself. 952 01:01:32,883 --> 01:01:35,571 I like to think, as someone coming from Wales, 953 01:01:35,572 --> 01:01:41,123 that I've done something that is a little bit different. 954 01:01:41,124 --> 01:01:43,088 Wales is known for rugby, 955 01:01:43,089 --> 01:01:46,330 and it's known for singing and things like that. 956 01:01:46,331 --> 01:01:51,123 But extreme survival challenges 957 01:01:51,124 --> 01:01:53,606 are not really something Wales is known for. 958 01:01:53,607 --> 01:01:55,537 So hopefully I can put it on the map. 959 01:02:23,365 --> 01:02:26,571 I walk away from this with a strong sense of pride. 960 01:02:26,572 --> 01:02:29,537 I feel that I've done everything I can 961 01:02:29,538 --> 01:02:32,571 and I am good enough. 962 01:02:32,572 --> 01:02:34,468 My skills are strong. 963 01:02:34,469 --> 01:02:36,640 My willpower is way stronger 964 01:02:36,641 --> 01:02:38,847 than I imagined it could ever be. 965 01:02:38,848 --> 01:02:40,399 It's been painful, 966 01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:42,640 but I think it's taught me some incredibly 967 01:02:42,641 --> 01:02:44,606 good lessons that will benefit me 968 01:02:44,607 --> 01:02:46,192 as an instructor and mentor. 969 01:02:47,848 --> 01:02:49,847 I will never take anything for granted again. 970 01:02:49,848 --> 01:02:52,502 I will never assume that something will be easy. 971 01:02:52,503 --> 01:02:54,226 And you can achieve the impossible 972 01:02:54,227 --> 01:02:57,468 if you truly believe you can. 973 01:02:57,469 --> 01:03:01,192 I really don't feel I have anything to prove anymore. 974 01:03:01,193 --> 01:03:03,054 It would have been great to win, 975 01:03:03,055 --> 01:03:05,364 but if I can hold my head high 976 01:03:05,365 --> 01:03:07,640 and say that I survived 71 days 977 01:03:07,641 --> 01:03:09,916 in the Arctic in extreme temperatures, 978 01:03:09,917 --> 01:03:12,502 living off the land, it's not something 979 01:03:12,503 --> 01:03:13,709 many people can do. 980 01:03:13,710 --> 01:03:17,502 So I feel like I've done pretty well. 981 01:03:17,503 --> 01:03:19,502 "Alone" has given me an opportunity 982 01:03:19,503 --> 01:03:21,226 to prove myself in a way that 983 01:03:21,227 --> 01:03:22,709 no other opportunity could have. 984 01:03:22,710 --> 01:03:26,916 So I feel very honored to have been a part of this. 985 01:03:26,917 --> 01:03:30,123 I wouldn't change it for the world. 986 01:03:35,365 --> 01:03:38,399 I'm definitely slowing down in my walking. 987 01:03:38,400 --> 01:03:40,951 My stride is a little shorter. 988 01:03:40,952 --> 01:03:42,985 Eating, that's all I can think about. 989 01:03:45,055 --> 01:03:48,226 Grease is stuff here that just builds up. 990 01:03:48,227 --> 01:03:49,813 Flammable as well. 991 01:03:49,814 --> 01:03:54,226 It's really hard to continue to choose the difficult path. 992 01:03:54,227 --> 01:03:57,261 That smoke seems to be building up a bit. 993 01:03:57,262 --> 01:04:00,054 I'm a bit concerned they might pull me out. 994 01:04:00,055 --> 01:04:01,744 Oh, shoot, guy, you're too skinny. 995 01:04:01,745 --> 01:04:03,295 That's for sure. 996 01:04:03,296 --> 01:04:05,192 A nice big, deep breath for me.
