IF THEY START STINGING.

JUST HAUL ASS BACK TO CAMP.

ALL RIGHT.

WHOA!

*BLEEP* AARON, WATCH OUT.

WHOA!

Narrator: ONE MAN, ONE WOMAN,

EXPOSED AND ALONE...

SO SCARY.

AT NATURE'S MERCY FOR 21 DAYS...

AHH!

THERE'S A BEAR OUTSIDE MY SHELTER.

Narrator: WITH NO FOOD...

I'M SO DONE.

NO WATER...

I'M HURTING REAL BAD.

NO CLOTHES...

THERE'S AN ALLIGATOR DOWN HERE.

DO THEY HAVE THE SKILL...

FIRE!

AND THE WILL TO SURVIVE...

Man: I WANT TO GO HOME.

[ MONKEY HOWLS ]

I CAME HERE TO FACE MY FEARS.

I CAME HERE BECAUSE I'M SCARED OF THIS.

MY NAME'S KACIE FROM BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON.

AND I'M A COACH AND TRAINER, AND I OWN A GYM.

I LIKE TO PUSH MYSELF PAST THAT PLACE

WHERE IT'S DOABLE AND IT'S COMFORTABLE,

AND I'M JUST ABLE TO HANDLE A LOT OF PAIN.

IN 2012, I BECAME THE FIRST FEMALE

TO INLINE SKATE ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

I SKATED A LITTLE OVER 2,000 MILES.

THAT'S A WORLD RECORD.

I WAS IN PAIN, AND MY LEGS CRAMPED UP,

BUT I'VE NEVER BEEN SO PROUD OF MYSELF.

I GREW UP CAMPING, I GREW UP HIKING,

BUT I'VE NEVER BEEN IN A SITUATION

WHERE I NEEDED MY SURVIVAL SKILLS.

[ EXHALES DEEPLY ]

I'M DOING THIS CHALLENGE BECAUSE THIS IS EVERYTHING THAT I AVOID.

I'M AFRAID OF SNAKES,

AND I'M AFRAID OF EVERY ANIMAL OUT THERE.

Narrator: HAVING THE FITNESS AND STAMINA OF A WORLD-CLASS ATHLETE

SHOULD HELP KACIE OVERCOME THE PHYSICAL CHALLENGES

OF THE BELIZE JUNGLE.

BUT HER FEARS AND LACK OF ADVANCED WILDERNESS SKILLS

LEAVE HER WITH A PRIMITIVE SURVIVAL RATING,

OR PSR, OF 4.8.

Aaron: THE JUNGLES OF BELIZE, MAN,

DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS.

MY NAME'S AARON. I'M FROM ORLANDO, FLORIDA.

I'M A STAY-AT-HOME DAD AND A FULL-TIME STUDENT.

THAT'S MY LITTLE BUDDY, SILAS.

THAT'S A BIG PART OF THE REASON THAT I'M -- I'M HERE.

IT'S NOT JUST FOR ME.

IT'S FOR HIM.

I'M A THIRD-GENERATION FLORIDA NATIVE.

I'VE GROWN UP FISHING,

SWIMMING IN RIVERS, GATORS, SNAKES,

STUFF LIKE THAT AROUND US ALL THE TIME.

THIS IS WHERE I FEEL AT HOME.

I'M AN ANIMAL JUST LIKE EVERYTHING AROUND HERE.

AND I BELONG HERE, TOO.

BUT I'M NOT A REAL BIG HUNTER.

BEING OUTDOORS IS A BIG PART

OF HOW I RAISE MY SON,

AND HELPING HIM TO CONNECT WITH NATURE AS WELL.

AARON'S CURIOSITY AND OPEN-MINDED NATURE

SHOULD ALLOW HIM TO WORK IN HARMONY WITH THE LAND.

BUT HIS INEXPERIENCE IN HUNTING

AND TRAPPING COULD LIMIT HIS SUCCESS.

HIS INITIAL PSR HAS BEEN SET AT 6.6.

[ SIGHS ]

Aaron: NO CLOTHES. NO JEWELRY.

LET'S GO FIND OUT WHAT IT MEANS TO BE HUMAN.

I'M BAREFOOT AND NAKED IN THE JUNGLE.

HOLY *BLEEP*.

ONCE HOME TO THE ANCIENT MAYA CITIES,

BELIZE'S SELVA MAYA HAS RECLAIMED THE LAND

AND BECOME OVERGROWN, IMPENETRABLE, AND DANGEROUS.

FALLING TREES POSE A CONSTANT RISK FROM ABOVE,

WHILE DEADLY FER-DE-LANCE VIPERS, WILD BOAR,

AND CENTRAL AMERICA'S LARGEST CONCENTRATION OF JAGUARS

ATTACK FROM THE GROUND.

ALSO PREVALENT IS THE TORSALO,

OR HUMAN BOTFLY, A PARASITE

WHOSE LARVAE BURROW UNDER THE SKIN

AND FEED ON HUMAN FLESH

UNTIL EMERGING AT MATURITY WEEKS LATER.

UNLESS PROPERLY REMOVED, THE LARVAE

CAN CAUSE EXTRAORDINARY ITCHING,

LYMPH NODE IRRITATION, AND UNRELENTING PAIN.

Aaron: WHEN I THINK ABOUT BEING NAKED

IN FRONT OF SOMEBODY I DON'T EVEN KNOW,

YOU KNOW, THE FIRST THING I TELL MYSELF

IS "WELL, THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME."

HEY, HOW ARE YOU? HELLO.

I'M AARON. KACIE.

VERY NICE TO MEET YOU.

ARE YOU READY TO DO THIS WITH ME?

HEY, I WAS BORN READY TO DO THIS.

GOOD. YEAH?

HIGH FIVE. I'M WANT YOU TO KNOW,

WHATEVER HAPPENS, I'M NOT QUITTING.

HEY, I'M RIGHT THERE WITH YOU.

I'M NOT GONNA LET YOU QUIT. OKAY.

AND I HOPE YOU DON'T LET ME QUIT, EITHER.

LET'S GO GET THESE BAGS AND GET STARTED.

Narrator: KACIE AND AARON HAVE EACH BROUGHT

ONE PERSONAL SURVIVAL ITEM.

I BROUGHT A NET.

NICE. IT'S A BUG NET.

I HAVE GOT MY TRUSTY MACHETE.

THEY'LL ALSO BOTH SHARE A FIRE STARTER.

THAT'S A LIFESAVER RIGHT THERE.

WE'RE LIVING IN LUXURY. OH, YEAH.

AND I'VE GOT A MAP. SWEET.

LET'S SCOPE THIS THING OUT.

THE SELVA MAYA NETWORK OF WATERSHEDS

CAN FLOOD AT ANY TIME.

SO AARON AND KACIE

WILL HAVE TO BUSHWHACK THROUGH JAGUAR COUNTRY

UP TO HIGHER GROUND

BEFORE ESTABLISHING A CAMPSITE.

NO KIDS?

NOT YET. WHAT ABOUT YOU?

I HAVE AN 18-MONTH-OLD LITTLE BOY AT HOME.

OH, WOW. AND I'M A STAY-AT-HOME DAD.

THAT'S GOT TO BE HARD LEAVING AN 18-MONTH-OLD FOR 3 WEEKS.

IT'S EXTREMELY DIFFICULT.

I GREW UP CAMPING AND HIKING OUTSIDE.

BUT BEING AROUND, HOLDING SNAKES,

HOLDING ANIMALS, THAT'S NEW TO ME.

THAT'S NEW TO YOU?

YES, IT IS. OH, OKAY.

THIS IS MORE OF A CHALLENGE FOR ME.

SO THAT'S WHY I WANT TO DO IT.

OH, OKAY. COOL.

FOR ME, A LOT OF IT'S LIKE GOING BACK HOME.

I FEEL COMFORTABLE IN THE WILD.

SO YOU'RE COMFORTABLE WITH SNAKES?

YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.

GOOD.

ALL RIGHT I HAVE MYSELF A SKIRT HERE.

PUT A LITTLE BIT MORE NORMAL INTO MY DAY.

[ MONKEY HOWLS ]

YOU HEAR THAT? YEAH, I DID HEAR THAT.

Aaron: YOU CAN'T MISTAKE THIS FOR ANYTHING.

IT'S THE HOWLER MONKEY.

I DON'T THINK THEY'RE AS MEAN AS THEY SOUND.

I DON'T WANT TO FIND OUT.

Aaron: LOOK AT THIS LITTLE LAGOON HERE.

THAT'D BE A GOOD SPOT TO CATCH FISH.

DO YOU SEE ANYTHING?

YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. I SEE SMALL MINNOWS.

MY DAD TAUGHT ME HOW TO FISH, TOOK ME ALL THE TIME.

WE'D GO FRESHWATER FISHING THREE, FOUR TIMES A MONTH,

IF NOT MORE.

I DON'T THINK I'M THIRSTY ENOUGH YET

TO ACTUALLY SAMPLE THAT WATER.

I THINK WE SHOULD SET UP CAMP

AT LEAST 40 FEET FROM THE WATER.

YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.

IF WE CAN FIND AN ELEVATED SPOT, A GOOD...

DUDE, I'M GOOD 100 YARDS OUT.

OKAY.

I MEAN, IT'S EASY WALKING

DISTANCE TO HERE TO GET WATER.

AS LONG AS WE KNOW WHERE IT IS, TOO.

YEAH.

ALL RIGHT. SHOULD WE KEEP GOING?

YEAH, LET'S PUSH ON A LITTLE BIT.

OKAY. DO IT.

ALL RIGHT, IT'S JUST REALLY JUNGLY OUT HERE.

SO JUST WATCH FOR SNAKES. YEP.

Kacie: I AM SCARED OF SNAKES.

SO I'M TRYING TO FIND THE MOST POSITIVE WAY

OF DEALING WITH THEM.

HERE -- SHOULD WE WAKE UP THE SNAKES

JUST IN CASE?

HELLO!

COME ON OUT, SNAKES.

COME ON OUT.

YOU COOL BACK THERE?

I'M GREAT.

Aaron: YOU WANT SOME NASTY SNAKES?

THIS IS THE PLACE TO COME FOR NASTY SNAKES.

THAT SAYS A LOT ABOUT HER CHARACTER.

DO YOU HAVE AN IDEA

OF WHAT KIND OF SHELTER YOU WANT TO BUILD?

I KNOW FOR SURE I DON'T WANT TO SLEEP ON THE GROUND.

YEAH, THE BIGGEST SNAKE CITY YOU'VE EVER SEEN.

CHECK THIS OUT.

SEE THOSE TWO TREES? YEAH.

IF I CAN CLEAR OUT AROUND THEM, THAT'S --

I THINK WE MIGHT BE HOME. OKAY.

LET ME FIND CORDAGE THEN. ALL RIGHT.

'CAUSE WE KNOW WE NEED THAT.

Aaron: I'M LOSING WATER QUICK.

WITHIN 48 TO 72 HOURS,

YOU GOT TO HAVE THE MAJOR FOUR, YOU KNOW,

FOOD, FIRE, SHELTER, WATER.

SO WE NEED FIRE TO PURIFY WATER.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE DEAL IS.

I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW THESE WOODS THAT WELL.

AND THIS ISN'T BURNING.

WATER MIGHT BE TOMORROW'S ISSUE TO DEAL WITH.

THE BUGS ARE BITING MY VAGISH.

THEY'RE BITING ME HARD.

AND THEY'RE BITING ME TOO MANY TIMES.

SO I CUT A PIECE OF THE BUG NET OFF.

I'M TRYING TO KEEP THE BUGS OUT OF MY GOODS.

Aaron: I CAN DEFINITELY SAY

THAT MY PRIOR CONSTRUCTION EXPERIENCE FROM YEARS AGO

COMES IN HAND EVERY TIME I BUILD A SHELTER,

NO MATTER WHAT TYPE OF SHELTER IT IS.

YOU DO HAVE A PROBLEM.

WHAT'S UP? OH, YEAH.

IT GOT A LITTLE BIT MORE JAGGED.

I SEE THAT.

MY MACHETE'S DEFINITELY TAKING A BEATING.

SHE'S SUCH A GO-GETTER THAT SHE WON'T GIVE UP.

THAT'LL KILL YOU QUICK.

LET'S TAKE A BREAK.

Aaron: I DON'T WANT TO GET WORN DOWN.

AND I DON'T WANT YOU TO GET WORN DOWN.

I'M TRYING TO WORK SMART, NOT HARD.

Kacie: I'M GONNA LISTEN TO MY PARTNER.

BUT I'M DEFINITELY SOMEONE

THAT WANTS TO WORK, WORK, WORK UNTIL I FALL OVER.

WELL, DO YOU WANT TO GET TO A POINT

WHERE LET'S JUST FINISH THIS ONE PROJECT

AND THEN REST.

YEAH, I'M DOWN WITH THAT.

I'M DOWN WITH THAT.

Aaron: SHELTER'S AWESOME.

SHE'S IN GOOD SHAPE, PERFECTLY FINE.

IT'S, LIKE, MORE THAN ADEQUATE.

BUT IT'S NEVER GONNA BE FINISHED.

Kacie: OH, MY GOD. ALL RIGHT.

FREAKING NINJA AARON JUST MADE A NIGHT-LIGHT.

WE NEEDED A LITTLE NIGHT-LIGHT FOR SECURITY.

SO LIGHTNING BUG WAS COMING BY AND...

I WONDER IF YOU CAN SEE IT.

I'M GONNA TRY TO TURN NIGHT VISION OFF.

HANG ON. OKAY.

[ LAUGHS ]

[ BEAT BOXES ]

WE'RE AT A RAVE.

[ BRANCHES CRACK ]

THAT WAS A HUMONGOUS TREE

COMING DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE JUNGLE.

THAT'S SCARY.

[ BRANCHES CRACK ]

*BLEEP*

Kacie: SEE ANYTHING?

Aaron: YEAH, ACTUALLY, SEE THAT TREE BROKE OFF...

LIKE, 30 FEET UP?

I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE HEARD.

OH, WOW.

Kacie: LAST NIGHT, THERE WAS THIS HUGE,

THUNDERING CRASH

NOT FAR FROM OUR CAMPSITE,

NOT FAR FROM WHERE WE WERE SLEEPING.

AND IT WAS A HUGE TREE FALLING OVER.

AND WE IMMEDIATELY KIND OF GOT SCARED OF NOT ONLY

WHERE WE WERE SLEEPING BUT WHERE WE'RE WALKING AROUND.

YOU SEE IT SMASHED INTO THOSE OTHER TREES

UP THERE AS WELL.

IF IT WOULD'VE GONE THE OTHER WAY,

IT WOULD HAVE LANDED IN OUR CAMP.

LIKE, THERE'S NO TWO WAYS ABOUT IT.

I ALSO NOTICE THAT IT DOESN'T LOOK

LIKE IT'S QUITE FINISHED FALLING.

Narrator: WITH SHALLOW ROOTS THAT ARE ESPECIALLY VULNERABLE TO ROT,

THE TREES OF THE RAIN FOREST CAN TOPPLE AT ANY TIME,

POSING A GRAVE RISK TO AARON AND KACIE.

SOME OF THE TREES ARE, LIKE, 60 OR 80 FEET.

SO IF IT'S 50 FEET AWAY AND IT'S AN 80-FOOT TREE,

WE'RE STILL IN THE RADIUS THERE.

WE KNOW NOT TO GO THIS WAY.

SHOULD WE GO BACK UP? YEAH.

I JUST DON'T LIKE GOING OVER THESE OLD LOGS.

IT'S WHERE THE SNAKES GO.

YEP.

HOW'S IT GOING? IT'S GOING PRETTY WELL.

HOW YOU FEELING?

I'M FEELING THAT WE MIGHT NEED TO GET SOME WATER SOON.

LET'S GO GET SOME WATER.

Aaron: I'M PRETTY SOLID THAT THAT VERY FIRST STAGNANT POOL...

YEAH. ...ISN'T REALLY STAGNANT.

IT CAN'T BE BECAUSE THIS WATER IS FLOWING.

Aaron: AND I KNOW VARIOUS TECHNIQUES

TO FILTER IT AND PURIFY THE WATER.

I'VE CONSUMED GALLONS AND GALLONS AND GALLONS

OF WILD WATER IN MY LIFE.

AND I'VE NOT HAD A WHOLE, WHOLE LOT OF ISSUES.

GO AWAY, SNAKES.

IDEALLY, YOU'D LIKE TO BOIL IT.

EVEN THOUGH WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET FIRE,

WE THINK IT'S SPRING-FED.

SO WE'RE GONNA GO AHEAD AND GO FOR IT.

I GUESS, IF YOU GO DOWN, WE BOTH GO DOWN TOGETHER.

Kacie: THAT DEFINITELY WAS A RISK THAT WE BOTH TOOK.

AND I THINK WE BOTH FELT REALLY CONFIDENT

THAT IT WAS CLEAN.

WE'RE ONLY ON DAY TWO.

WE COULD'VE WAITED LONGER

IF WE DOUBTED THE CLEANLINESS OF THE WATER.

THAT'S HOW CONFIDENT I WAS IN AARON.

ALL RIGHT. BACK TO WORK.

SOMETHING'S PEEING ON US FROM THE TREES.

AND WE'RE NOT GONNA HAVE THIS IN THE JUNGLE.

NO.

WHAT'S GONNA BE IN THE TREE ABOVE US

NIGHT AFTER NIGHT

THAT JUST OCCASIONALLY PEES?

SO DO YOU THINK A MONKEY IS PEEING ON ITS HAND

AND THEN FLICKING IT ON US?

WELL, I'M NOT GONNA SAY A MONKEY WON'T DO THAT.

MONKEYS ARE NASTY.

ALL RIGHT, MAGNESIUM FIRE STARTER,

WISH ME LUCK.

Aaron: GOOD LUCK.

Aaron: DAY THREE, SO FAR SO GOOD,

BUT WE HAVEN'T EATEN.

WE WANT TO CATCH SOME FISH.

WE WANT TO COOK SOME FISH.

SO WE NEED TO GET A SMALL FIRE GOING.

I'M DETERMINED.

I'M NOT LEAVING THIS FIRE PIT UNTIL WE HAVE A FIRE GOING.

Aaron: GO, GIRL.

GO, GIRL.

THAT A GIRL.

LOOK AT YOU.

WHOO!

REALLY PROUD THAT I MADE THAT FIRE.

THIS WASN'T SOMETHING I WOULD'VE PUT ON MY TOP 10 SKILLS.

Aaron: WE HAVE FIRE. WE HAVE WATER.

WE HAVE SHELTER.

SO THE NEXT IS WE NEED A SUSTAINABLE SOURCE OF FOOD.

YOU WANT TO DISTURB AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE.

YEAH, WE'RE GONNA DISTURB IT WALKING IN HERE.

THEY'LL COME BACK, I PROMISE.

I KNOW, BUT WE DON'T WANT THEM KNOWING

THAT WE'RE PUTTING A NET OVER THEIR HEAD.

THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT A NET IS.

WE TOOK OUR BUG NET DOWN FROM OUR CAMP

TO DREDGE THE CREEK.

LOOK AT THEM ALL RIGHT HERE.

I FEEL LIKE WE JUST NEED TO, LIKE, GRAB THEM RIGHT NOW.

IF YOU WANT TO, THAT'S COOL.

WHAT WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO DO IS WE GOT TO TAKE ONE SIDE

UNDER AND PINCH IT BACK 'CAUSE THEY'LL GET OUT.

IT'S NOT SUPER DEEP

AND THERE'S A LOT OF SHARP ROCKS.

SO ONE OF MY MAJOR CONCERNS IS RIPPING THAT NET.

WE RIP THAT NET

AND THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING ABOUT SLEEPING AT NIGHT.

ONE, TWO, THREE. SWOOP UNDER.

PULL TIGHT, AND COME TO ME.

WOO! COME TO ME.

COME TO ME. COME TO ME.

ALL RIGHT. LET'S GET UP ON THE ROCKS.

YAY!

NOT EATING SNAKE TONIGHT.

OKAY.

ALLSPICE, WHAT A GOOD FLAVOR,

SOMEWHERE BETWEEN, LIKE, CINNAMON, CLOVE.

I GUESS THAT'S WHY THEY CALL IT ALLSPICE.

IT KIND OF TASTES LIKE ALL OF THEM.

A LITTLE PEPPER IN THERE, TOO.

I TOOK A THIRD OF THE FISH.

AND I WRAPPED THEM IN ALLSPICE LEAVES.

AND THEN I TOOK PIECES -- SMALL PIECES OF VINE, TIED IT UP

AND I SET IT ON THE EDGE OF THE FIRE.

THIS'LL WORK JUST FINE.

HOW MANY DO YOU HAVE ON THE...

SIX.

SIX, THAT'S SOLID.

TRY IT.

STILL ON THE RAW SIDE?

A LITTLE RAW.

THE ONES I COOKED ON THE SKEWER WERE NASTY.

WHEW!

HOT? NO.

THE SCALES GOT REALLY SHARP.

THE FINS BECAME LITTLE TOOTHPICKS.

AND THE INSIDES WERE STILL A LITTLE SOFT.

TRY NOT TO EAT WITH MY HANDS

BECAUSE MY HANDS ARE DIRTIER THAN ANYTHING ELSE.

Kacie: FISHY.

FISHY.

THESE ARE REALLY GOOD.

THESE ARE REALLY *BLEEP* GOOD.

YOU WANT TO GIVE THIS A SHOT?

SURE. OKAY.

THAT WAY YOU CAN KIND OF TEST IT OUT.

THAT'S GOOD. YEAH.

THE ONES THAT AARON COOKED

IN THE ALLSPICE LEAF WERE REALLY GOOD.

THEY WERE SOFT. THEY WERE COOKED FULLY THROUGH.

AND THE FINS WERE NOT STABBING YOU.

OH, MY GOD. I WANT A BIG FISH.

MM, I THINK THAT ONE SHOULD HAVE TAKEN A POO

BEFORE I CAUGHT HIM.

A LITTLE DIRT DON'T HURT.

LET'S HEAD DOWN THERE AND GRAB SOME WATER MAYBE AND...

COOL.

OH, DUDE. THERE'S A SNAKE.

SNAKE. HEY, KACIE.

KACIE, I FOUND A SNAKE.

IT'S A FER-DE-LANCE.

NOTHING ELSE HAS A PATTERN LIKE THAT.

BE CAREFUL WITH IT.

WE GOT SNAKES BACK HOME, BUT THEY'RE NOT PITTED VIPERS.

THEY'RE NOT HEAT-SEEKERS.

GET THE 'F' AWAY FROM IT.

HEY, KACIE. KACIE, I FOUND A SNAKE.

IT'S A FER-DE-LANCE FOR SURE.

DID YOU GET IT? YEP.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WHAT I GOT

AND WHAT I THINK IS THE HEAD IS ACTUALLY THE HEAD.

MY BIGGEST FEAR IS THAT AARON IS GONNA GET BIT

BY THIS FER-DE-LANCE SNAKE.

AND NOW I'M ALONE IN THE WOODS WITH THE REST OF THE SNAKES.

WALK REALLY SLOW.

KEEP AN EYE OUT.

A LOT OF THESE TYPES OF SNAKES HANG OUT TOGETHER.

YEP. I'M LOOKING FOR MORE.

SO NOW I'M FREAKED OUT 'CAUSE

IT'S NOT JUST ONE SNAKE THAT WE'RE AFTER.

NOW I'M LOOKING FOR A FAMILY OF SNAKES.

I DON'T WANT TO FIND A FAMILY OF SNAKES.

Kacie: DID YOU KILL IT?

OH, YEAH.

OKAY, IT'S HEAD IS TOTALLY OFF?

YEAH. IT'S NOT HUGE.

BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT'S NOT AS DANGEROUS.

BABY SNAKES STILL LATCH ON.

AND THEY JUST KEEP PUMPING 'CAUSE

THEY DON'T KNOW ANY BETTER.

AND THEY CAN'T CONTROL THEIR VENOM FLOW.

AND SO THEY'LL JUST DEPLETE THEIR SACS,

AND THEN JUST PUMP YOU FULL.

IS THAT BIG ENOUGH TO EAT?

NO, IT WOULD BE, LIKE, A HALF A BITE FOR YOU.

WELL, ALL WE'VE HAD --

I DON'T THINK IT'S WORTH IT.

ALL WE'VE HAD ARE THOSE LITTLE FISHIES.

SO IF WE WANT TO DUMP THAT SNAKE

OR USE IT AS BAIT AND TRY TO CATCH MORE FISH.

POSSIBLY, YEAH.

Aaron: THERE JUST ISN'T ENOUGH MEAT ON THIS THING

TO JUSTIFY THE TIME AND EFFORT IT WOULD TAKE TO HARVEST IT.

TO ME, IT JUST DOESN'T -- IT DOESN'T SEEM LOGICAL.

IT DOESN'T SEEM SMART. I TRY TO WORK SMART, NOT HARD.

HEY, LOOK.

Kacie: WHAT IS IT?

IT'S DEFINITELY BEEN HERE A WHILE

FROM AN ARCHAEOLOGIST OR SOMETHING.

Aaron: KACIE AND I WERE HEADING DOWN TO THE WATER.

I FOUND A -- A PIECE OF MATERIAL.

EVERY LITTLE BIT YOU CAN COVER UP

MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE.

I MEAN, THAT'S ONE PLACE THE MOSQUITOES --

WHERE THEY'RE NOT GONNA BITE YOU.

WE CAN MAKE YOU AN OUTFIT NOW.

AH, THAT'D BE AWESOME.

WHAT, I'D LIKE TO FINALLY GET MY KILT.

ALL RIGHT, SO I WOULD STEP YOUR LEG THROUGH HERE.

MM-HMM.

AND THEN COVER YOURSELF.

AND TIE IT RIGHT HERE. JUST TIE IT ON THE SIDE.

LIKE, TIE IT ON THE SIDE?

YEAH, SO IT'LL LOOK LIKE THIS.

ALL RIGHT. PERFECT.

WE'LL TRADE OFF.

I'M DIGGING IT, KIND OF, THE WAY IT IS.

Kacie: AWESOME.

READY.

AND PULL TIGHT.

ANYTHING?

I DON'T SEE ANY.

YOU GOT ONE?

IT'S LIKE THEY KNOW.

IT'S LIKE THEY'RE WISE TO OUR GAME.

Kacie: I'M TRYING NOT TO THINK OR TALK ABOUT BEING HUNGRY 'CAUSE THEN,

WHEN I FOCUS ON IT, I GET HUNGRIER.

Aaron: ALL RIGHT. WE SPOTTED THIS TREE

WHEN WE WERE DOWN FISHING EARLIER.

IT LOOKS LIKE HEART OF PALM.

I JUST THINK THE HEART IS RIGHT THERE,

LIKE, WHERE ALL THE MEAT IS.

I'M HOPING THAT WE CAN ROAST IT OVER THE FIRE

AND MAYBE MAKE THAT LAST A COUPLE OF DAYS.

AND THAT'LL DEFINITELY PUT SOME ENERGY IN US AND --

AND DEFINITELY GET SOME CARBS IN OUR DIET.

I THINK I'M GONNA DO, LIKE, THIS ONE.

AND CALL IT QUITS FOR NOW.

OKAY.

THAT'S GREAT.

THAT THING'S A BEAST. AND IT'S --

THERE'S SUBSTANTIAL FOOD THERE IN THE MIDDLE.

BUT IT'S NOT SOMETHING WE'RE JUST GONNA DO ALL AT ONCE.

Kacie: I WANT TO GET IN THE HEART OF PALM REALLY BAD.

MAYBE I'LL TRY TO DO IT BY MYSELF.

BUT WE NEED SOME FOOD, AND I NEED TO GET INTO IT.

Aaron: SHE'S GOT IT IN HER HEAD, "I WANT TO TAKE DOWN THIS PALM.

I WANT TO TAKE DOWN THIS PALM.

I WANT TO GET TO THE HEART OF IT."

AND SHE'S ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, THERE'S A GREAT FOOD SOURCE

IN THE MIDDLE OF IT, BUT AT WHAT COST?

IT'S EASY TO THINK THAT I COULD JUST,

LIKE, SAW RIGHT THROUGH IT.

[ SIGHS ]

IT'S SO HOT OUT HERE.

Kacie: I KNOW ME, AND ONE OF MY BIGGEST STRENGTHS

IS I CAN SEPARATE MY PAIN TO MY BODY.

SO MY MIND DOESN'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING.

OH, MY GOODNESS.

I FEEL MY BODY JUST SLOWLY SHUTTING DOWN,

AND I DON'T LIKE IT.

OH, MY GOSH. WE GOT TO ATTACK IT.

AND WE CAN'T ATTACK IT WITHOUT A LOT OF ENERGY.

AND CAN'T HAVE A LOT OF ENERGY WHEN IT'S HOT.

SO IT'S, LIKE...

I THINK I'M GONNA START WAKING UP EARLIER

AND WORKING ON IT.

I KEEP HEARING BEES, SWARMS AT NIGHT,

UP IN THE TOP OF THE CANOPY.

I'D LOVE TO FIND SOME HONEY.

I WOULD LOVE TO EAT HONEY RIGHT NOW.

GOT TERMITE MOUND.

WE CAN ALWAYS SMOKE THEM OUT WITH TERMITE MOUND.

HONEY'S GOOD *BLEEP*.

BACTERIA DOESN'T GROW IN HONEY.

HONEY CAN'T GO BAD.

IT CAN'T SPOIL.

IT'S, LIKE, THE PERFECT FOOD.

I FOUND THOSE BEES.

YOU FOUND THE BEES?

I THINK I KNOW ABOUT WHERE THEY ARE.

WHAT'S OUR PLAN?

JUST EASE UP ON THEM.

AND TRY TO SMOKE THEM OUT A LITTLE BIT WITH THIS.

WE'RE GONNA TAKE THE HONEY AND RUN

BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T FOUND ANY OTHER FOOD FOR ABOUT 3 DAYS.

RIGHT THERE. OH, MY GOODNESS.

THEY LOOK LIKE THE MAYAN STINGLESS BEE,

WHICH WON'T STING YOU.

BUT IF THEY FEEL THREATENED, THEY'LL BITE.

OKAY. JUST BE CAREFUL.

UNFORTUNATELY, THE ONLY THING I THINK I CAN DO

IS, LIKE, HACK AT IT.

I DON'T KNOW OF ANY WAY TO GET UP IN THERE.

*BLEEP* THAT.

WHOO!

I DON'T SEE ANYTHING.

LIKE, THERE'S A HIVE.

BUT THERE'S NO HONEY. THERE'S NO NOTHING.

THERE'S JUST A BUTTLOAD OF BEES.

I GOT TO GET UP, LIKE, UP HERE

AND THEN REACH DOWN INSIDE IT.

WE'RE GONNA MAKE, LIKE, A GIANT DIPSTICK

SO I CAN DIP IT DOWN IN THERE.

SOLID.

IT'S DRY.

THERE'S NOTHING IN THERE.

AT LEAST THEY'RE NOT STINGING US.

THERE'S A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF DISAPPOINTMENT

THAT WE DIDN'T RECOVER SOME HONEY.

I WANTED THAT HONEY.

I THINK I GOT MY HOPES TOO HIGH ON THAT ONE.

AND I ALWAYS SAY,

"IF YOU LEARN SOMETHING FROM IT, THEN IT'S NOT A FAILURE."

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN HEAR OR NOT,

BUT WE SHOULD HAVE ABOUT ANOTHER HOUR OF DAYLIGHT

TO COLLECT OUR FIREWOOD.

AND, UH, WE GOT A STORM ROLL UP ON US REAL QUICK.

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DRY SEASON,

THAT'S PRETTY UNHEARD OF.

Kacie: OH, MY GOD.

YEAH, IT'S COMING DOWN.

OH, MY GOSH.

WE DID NOT MAKE A ROOF READY FOR A STORM.

THE BIGGEST CONCERN IS ONE OF THOSE BIG TREES

FALLING DOWN ON US.

YEAH, IT'S, UH...

ANYTHING CAN BREAK LOOSE IN THAT CANOPY.

I MEAN, WHEN THERE'S NO WIND AT ALL,

YOU CAN HEAR STUFF BREAKING THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT

COMING CRASHING DOWN. ALL NIGHT LONG.

AND THEN TO HAVE THE EXPERIENCE LIKE THE OTHER NIGHT

WITH THAT TREE GOING DOWN.

AND THAT'S WITH NO WIND AT ALL.

[ Laughing ] YEAH!

[ LAUGHS ] YEAH.

WHOA!

EXECUTIVE DECISION WAS MADE.

WE ARE NOW UNDER THE SHELTER.

IT'S COMING DOWN.

LIKE, IT'S COMING DOWN HARD OUT THERE.

WE'RE GETTING RAINED ON THROUGH OUR SHELTER

UNDER OUR SHELTER RIGHT NOW.

THE WIND IS SO STRONG THAT IT'S, LIKE,

SHAKING THE GROUND.

WE'VE ALREADY HAD A COUPLE LIMBS COME DOWN.

ONE'S COME DOWN JUST TO OUR LEFT,

OUTSIDE THE SHELTER.

AND THE OTHER ONE CAME DOWN RIGHT BEHIND ME,

I MEAN, LIKE, 3 FEET BEHIND MY BACK.

I'M GLAD I'M NOT ALONE.

DEFINITELY. DEFINITELY.

THANKS, BROTHER.

BEST FRIEND.

Kacie: MORNING AFTER THE STORM,

STUFF BLOWN EVERYWHERE,

A LOT OF DEBRIS EVERYWHERE.

WHEN YOU'RE LAYING DOWN

AND YOU'RE GETTING HIT IN THE HEAD

WITH RAIN REPEATEDLY,

IT MESSES UP YOUR HEAD.

IT JUST SMELLS LIKE ROTTEN LEAVES.

LET'S GET THAT MOSQUITO NET DOWN.

SHOULD HANG THIS UP SOMEWHERE.

MAYBE IT'LL DRY.

Kacie: WE HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO IF WE'RE GONNA REDO THE ROOF

TO MAKE IT WATERPROOF.

Aaron: I HAVE PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE IN CONSTRUCTION.

SO, I MEAN, I SHOULD BETTER AT THIS KIND OF STUFF.

SO I DON'T FEEL GREAT MENTALLY.

AFTER LAST NIGHT'S ADVENTURE, I FEEL LIKE A FAILURE.

WE HAVE NO FIRE. THERE'S NO HARDWOOD ANYWHERE.

THERE'S NO DRY WOOD ANYWHERE.

HOW YOU FEELING?

TIRED AND HUNGRY.

Kacie: I'M TO A POINT NOW WHERE I'M FIGHTING

TO KEEP MY SPIRITS UP.

IT'S STILL THERE,

BUT I'M HAVING TO WORK A LITTLE HARDER AT IT.

AND I KNOW THAT'S BECAUSE OF LACK OF SLEEP AND LACK OF FOOD.

*BLEEP* MONKEY PEEING ON US,

THROWING BERRIES AT US.

I DON'T KNOW IF I'M DOING THIS RIGHT.

BUT IT'S GOING TO WORK.

I PUSH MYSELF WHERE I CAN'T EVEN CONTROL IT.

I DON'T -- I DON'T GET THOSE WARNING SIGNS.

AND IT'S SOMETHING I'VE TRAINED

MYSELF TO BE ABLE TO PUSH REALLY HARD IN RACES.

BUT, YOU KNOW, IT CAN BE MY DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD.

IT CAN BE MY WORST ATTRIBUTE.

ALL I KNOW IS THERE'S A HEART OF PALM IN THERE,

AND I WANT TO EAT IT.

WHOO! WHEW!

OH, OKAY, GOOD.

OH, MY GOD.

IT'S JUST TOO FREAKING HOT TO BE UP THERE, LIKE,

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY, BEATING ON THAT THING.

I FEEL LIKE I'M 20 DEGREES HOTTER

THAN I SHOULD BE.

YOU'RE A LITTLE DIZZY.

AND THEN NEXT THING YOU KNOW YOU'RE,

LIKE, BORDERLINE HEATSTROKE.

YOU CAN'T BE LIKE THAT OUT HERE.

YOU GOT TO BE SMART ABOUT EVERYTHING YOU DO,

EVERY STEP YOU TAKE, AND THAT'S NOT BEING SMART.

Kacie: THE BUGS ARE ATTACKING RIGHT NOW.

Aaron: AH, GET OFF ME. GET OFF ME, BUG.

[ GROANS ]

I JUST GOT THIS THING. I GOT BIT.

I CAN FEEL A BOTFLY UNDER MY SKIN.

[ SIGHS ] THERE'S SOMETHING IN THERE.

I CAN FEEL IT INSIDE, LIKE, WHEN I MOVE.

I CAN FEEL IT.

I DON'T KNOW, I CAN FEEL IT MOVING.

Narrator: UPON LANDING ON HUMAN HOSTS, BOTFLIES

RELEASE LARVAE THAT BURROW UNDER THE SKIN,

WHERE THEY ACT AS PARASITES

AND GROW UNTIL EMERGING AT MATURITY.

Aaron: I DON'T KNOW.

I'VE NEVER BITTEN BY A BOTFLY.

BUT I'VE READ A LOT ABOUT IT.

AND I JUST KNOW IT FREAKING HURTS.

AND NOW I HAVE BLOOD OOZING OUT OF ME.

AND I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING STERILE

TO WIPE IT WITH.

AARON'S BOTFLY WOUND IS KIND OF SCARY.

I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT.

I HOPE IT GOES AWAY.

THIS IS NOT THE PLACE TO GET AN INFECTION.

GOOD TIMES.

WE'RE UNDER THE SHELTER, AGAIN.

IT'S POURING RAIN.

[ GROANS ]

RIDING OUT THE STORM.

FOURTH NIGHT IN A ROW WITH LITTLE TO NO SLEEP.

I FEEL LIKE CRAP.

I JUST -- I NEED SLEEP BAD, REALLY BAD.

AT THIS POINT, I DON'T GIVE A *BLEEP*

LIKE, I REALLY DON'T.

I'M BEAT.

AND I MISS MY FAMILY.

MAN, I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MUCH I MISS MY SON.

Kacie: TODAY'S THE FIRST DAY I SAW KIND OF A BREAKING POINT IN AARON.

HE REALLY MISSES HIS SON.

AND HE TOLD ME HE WANTS TO GO SEE HIS SON RIGHT NOW.

I NEED TO START PREPARING TO DOING THIS BY MYSELF...

JUST IN CASE.

THIS IS BY FAR THE HARDEST THING I'VE EVER *BLEEP* DONE.

I DON'T WANT TO DO THIS.

I DON'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT IT, MAN.

I DON'T WANT TO GO THERE, DUDE.

I WANT TO GO HOME.

Narrator: OVER 19 DAYS, THE BELIZE JUNGLE

HAS PUSHED AARON AND KACIE TO THE BREAKING POINT.

STARTING WITH A PSR OF 4.8, KACIE

HAS SUPPRESSED HER CONSIDERABLE FEARS

AND TAPPED INTO HER STAMINA AND FITNESS TO HELP THE TEAM.

WITH AN INITIAL PSR OF 6.6,

AARON HAS DISPLAYED HIS INGENUITY.

IT'S DRY.

BUT HIS FAILURES OUTNUMBER HIS SUCCESSES.

AARON AND KACIE'S ABILITY TO ADAPT, IMPROVISE,

AND OVERCOME WILL DETERMINE THEIR ULTIMATE PSRs.

I WANT TO GO HOME.

Aaron: THIS IS HARD. THIS ISN'T A GAME.

BUT I MADE A COMMITMENT, AND I CAME OUT HERE,

AND I'M DOING THIS TO BE AN EXAMPLE FOR MY SON,

TO SHOW HIM WHAT IT MEANS TO FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS.

SO I'M NOT GIVING UP.

ARE YOU OKAY?

Kacie: I THINK HE REALLY MISSES HIS SON.

I THINK HE FEELS GUILTY FOR BEING AWAY

BECAUSE HE'S AT HOME WITH HIM 24/7.

I'M JUST REALLY FREAKING HUNGRY.

OTHER THAN NUTS AND THESE FISH, THERE'S NOTHING HERE TO EAT.

WE NEED TO EAT THAT HEART OF PALM.

Aaron: HEART OF PALM IS STILL VERY CRITICAL.

I THINK IT WOULD BE A HORRIBLE SITUATION

TO HAVE EITHER ONE OF US COLLAPSING ON THE WAY OUT.

ALL RIGHT, READY TO GIVE THIS THING ANOTHER GO?

I THINK WE JUST NEED TO CUT AT THE BOTTOM

AND JUST PULL THIS STUFF AWAY.

WE'RE AT A POINT NOW WHERE THEY SHOULD JUST

KIND OF START TO FALL AWAY.

DO YOU WANT TO CUT AND I PULL AND THEN SWITCH?

YEAH.

Aaron: THERE'S STILL SOME WORK TO DO ON THE PALM.

I REALLY GOT MY HOPES UP ON THAT HONEY.

THAT WAS A BIT OF A LETDOWN.

SO I'M TRYING NOT TO GET MY HOPES

TOO HIGH IN THE CASE THAT IT DOESN'T HAPPEN.

THAT'S ALL WE HAVE RIGHT NOW.

Aaron: IT'S STILL A LITTLE WOODY.

Kacie: GOD, I HOPE THIS HEART IS GOOD.

HOLY COW. LOOK AT THOSE HUGE BEETLES.

I LIKE HOW WHITE IT IS. YEP.

AWESOME.

THE HELL I DON'T.

WOO-HOO!

Aaron: KACIE'S THE KIND OF PERSON

WHO NEVER GIVES UP, NO MATTER WHAT.

AND THAT KIND OF PERSEVERANCE IS REALLY ADMIRABLE.

THIS IS, LIKE, ONE OF OUR GREATEST ACHIEVEMENTS SO FAR.

WE NEED THAT.

OH, MY GOODNESS.

OH, MY GOODNESS.

YEAH, THAT'S GOOD.

Kacie: I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER ABOUT EXTRACTION

BECAUSE OF HEART OF PALM.

I'M SO EXCITED WE FINISHED IT.

WE NEEDED THAT WIN

AND THE ENERGY FOR OUR EXTRACTION.

MMM. THAT IS SO GOOD.

THERE'S SO MUCH WATER IN IT, TOO, SO MUCH JUICE.

I FEEL SO PROUD OF US.

OH, HELL YEAH. SO PROUD.

STUCK WITH IT.

THAT'S TEAMWORK.

HEY, THESE WOULD MAKE NICE SHOES RIGHT HERE.

OH, YEAH. YOU'RE RIGHT.

Kacie: WE FOUND THE MONKEY THAT'S BEEN PEEING ON US.

HE'S MAD. HE'S YELLING AT US

AND THROWING THINGS.

MONKEY!

THE MONKEYS ARE SUGGESTING THAT IT MIGHT BE TIME TO LEAVE.

THEY'RE A BIT TICKED OFF.

THEY'RE DROPPING STUFF ON US.

YEAH, THEY LIKE THROWING STUFF AT US.

LET'S FIGURE OUT WHERE THE HELL WE ARE NOW

AND WHERE WE NEED TO GO.

Narrator: TO REACH EXTRACTION, KACIE AND AARON

MUST BUSHWHACK SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE MOST OVERGROWN PART

OF THE JUNGLE,

UNDISTURBED BY HUMAN ACTIVITY,

THIS BELT OF THE RAIN FOREST IS HOME TURF

FOR THE SELVA MAYA'S MASSIVE VARIETY

OF SNAKES AND ITS DENSEST POPULATION OF JAGUARS.

I'M GONNA CUT THE NET DOWN.

SO WE COULD PUT OUR SNAKE GAITERS

AND OUR SNAKE SHOES ON.

YOU WANT TO DO TWO LAYERS LIKE WE WERE TALKING ABOUT?

LIKE, DO ONE LAYER ALMOST LIKE THE SOCKS

SO THAT THE SHOES AREN'T RUBBING AGAINST US.

I THINK WE SHOULD.

Kacie: WE'RE USING OUR BUG NET TO WRAP OUR FEET UP AS SOCKS.

AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO PUT SHOES

ON THAT WE MADE FROM THE HEART OF PALM,

WRAP IT UP IN CORDAGE.

AND THEN WE'RE GONNA PUT MORE OF THE BUG NET OVER TOP

JUST TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING STAYS SECURE

AND WE DON'T GET BITTEN BY SNAKES.

THIS IS WHAT ALL MY NIGHTMARES LOOK LIKE, SNAKES' HEAVEN.

KEEP MOVING. WATCH THIS LOG.

STEP HIGH. STEP LIGHT.

I'M RUNNING STRAIGHT OFF ADRENALINE RIGHT NOW.

WE GOT THIS, KACIE.

[ GRUNTS ] THIS IS ROUGH.

YOU WITH ME BACK THERE?

YEAH. ALL RIGHT.

Aaron: IT'S ALMOST LIKE THE JUNGLE IS KIND OF,

LIKE, CLOSING IN AROUND US.

THERE'S CONSTANTLY VINES AND TREES

AND ROOTS AND EVERYTHING ELSE

THAT YOU GOT TO GO THROUGH TO GET OUT OF HERE.

IT'S SO EASY TO GET TURNED AROUND OUT HERE.

YEAH.

IT IS HOT.

YEAH, IT IS HOT.

OH, *BLEEP*.

ARE THESE BONES?

YEAH, LOOKS LIKE DEER MAYBE.

I DON'T KNOW. THEY'RE BIG.

OH, GREAT, WALKING THROUGH A GRAVEYARD.

IF THERE'S BONES, THERE'S APEX PREDATORS.

THESE ARE BIG BONES.

WE'RE DEFINITELY IN CAT TERRITORY.

LET'S GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE WE FIND THESE BIG ANIMALS.

COOL? YEAH.

I'M GONNA CROSS WHERE THESE STONES ARE,

TRY TO KEEP MY SHOES OUT OF THE WATER.

I'LL TRY GIVING YOU A HAND GETTING UP.

[ GROANS ]

THANKS.

HOLY COW. LOOK AT ALL THIS WATER.

LISTEN.

HEY!

WE'RE RIGHT HERE! HEY, HEY!

HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY!

WHOO! YO!

OH, MY GOD.

I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW GLAD WE ARE TO SEE YOU, MAN.

Man: WELCOME ABOARD.

Aaron: I'VE LEARNED, I'VE GROWN.

I'M STRONGER THAN I WAS COMING IN.

I DEFINITELY HAVE MORE CONFIDENCE IN MYSELF.

I FEEL THAT THERE'S ALMOST NOTHING I CAN'T DO.

[ LAUGHS ]

WHOO!

THIS HAS BEEN THE BIGGEST ADVENTURE OF MY LIFE.

IT'S AN EPIC JOURNEY.

I'M REALLY PROUD. I'M REALLY PROUD.

YOU SHOULD BE.

YOU SHOULD BE.

Kacie: I'M PROUD 'CAUSE THIS SUCKED.

AND THIS TOOK ME OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE DAY ONE.

I ENDED UP FINDING A REALLY GREAT FRIEND.

AND I DON'T KNOW IF WE WOULD HAVE BECOME FRIENDS

IF WE WEREN'T STUCK TOGETHER FOR 21 DAYS,

AND I'M REALLY THANKFUL FOR THAT.

Aaron: I FEEL LIKE I'M AN EVEN BETTER EXAMPLE FOR MY SON.

I MADE A COMMITMENT, AND I FOLLOWED THROUGH.

I FEEL LIKE A SUPERHERO.

Narrator: OVER THE COURSE OF 21 DAYS IN BELIZE, AARON LOST 25 POUNDS.

THOUGH HIS MORALE SOMETIMES WAVERED,

HE EXPLOITED HIS RESOURCES

TO CONQUER THE JUNGLE,

FINDING WAYS TO FILTER WATER...

COME TO ME. CATCH FISH AND SMOKE OUT BEES.

RIGHT THERE.

AS A RESULT, HIS PSR RISES FROM 6.6 TO 7.4.

DURING HER 3 WEEKS IN THE RAIN FOREST, KACIE

LOST A TOTAL OF 14 POUNDS.

THOUGH SHE INITIALLY STRUGGLED TO OVERCOME HER FEARS,

KACIE'S MENTAL AND PHYSICAL STRENGTH

WERE A BIG REASON THIS TEAM MASTERED THE CHALLENGE.

HER PSR INCREASES FROM 4.8 TO 6.4.

TURNING A HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT INTO THEIR HOME, KACIE AND AARON

PROVED THEY HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO SURVIVE...

I MISSED YOU.

THEY'RE GOING TO LANCE MY GROIN

AND TRY TO PULL THIS BOTFLY LARVA OUT.

THIS LITTLE BLACK THING RIGHT HERE,

THAT IS THE REST OF THE LARVA.

AND THAT IS THE HOLE THAT IT CAME OUT OF.

NO BOTFLIES IN ME.
