Holy moly.
That's the mother lode up there.
Oh, my god.
You're gonna climb?
Yeah. I'm just gonna climb it.
Go big or go home.
That's what I always say.
Oh, my god.
I dropped my machete.
Ouch.
Be careful.
Ouch. Ouch.
Here we go.
Yeah!
I'm in the middle of nowhere.
I have nothing but ocean
And open coastline around me.
I can see that there are a lot of coconut trees,
Some bamboo, and a thick carpet of jungle
This is a pretty lush environment.
I've never been to colombia before.
The humidity with the heat is tough.
This environment is very different
From the high desert
And mountainous region of utah where I live,
But overall it's gonna be an incredible experience.
Off the caribbea coast of northern colombia
Lies the san salvador river basin.
The dense tropical terrain
Combines four distinct landscapes,
Beaches, mangroves,
Rivers, and jungle.
With midday temperatures
Reaching into the 90s,
The thick vegetation and swampy waters
Provide cover
For some of south america's deadliest wildlife.
Jaguars prowl the jungle,
Taking down prey with their stealth and spee
Which can reach up to 50 miles per hour.
While 12-foot caiman
Can lurk beneath the murky river water
For more than an hour,
Waiting to drown their victims
Before they eat them.
A lot of people are survivalists
With a beer in their hand,
But this is the real thing.
I guess this is it.
Being naked for me is not a problem.
As anyone who has ever lived with me knows,
I walk around naked a lot,
So I'm not gonna have any problem with it.
Hey, I'm comfortabl being naked
In front of a stranger.
It also helps that that stranger
Is also going to be naked.
I'm going to meet my partner.
I'm hoping that they're as excited to meet me
As I am to meet them,
And that we get rolling here.
Do I have anything in my teeth?
I am pretty nervous.
I hope that she is cool and helpful
And we'll get along just fine.
I don't really believe
In conforming to traditional gender rules.
When it comes to survival tasks,
I think both parties pulling equal weight in whatever way
Is the best combination.
And, hopefully, that's something that we'd agree on
Hey, yo.
What's up?
I'm nathan.
Nathan. I'm molly.
- Nice to meet you, molly. - Oh, bring it in.
Bring it in.
Well...
How are you feeling about this?
I'm a little bit awkward.
- I just... - Yeah.
I'm trying to maintain eye contact.
Yeah.
I'm excited to see what your skillset is.
I'm an outdoor educator and wilderness guide.
The outdoors is my happy place.
I've experienced as an outdoor educator
Teaching wilderness surviva
And wilderness trekking skills.
Then went on to become a wilderness first responder
Over the last couple years,
I've gotten more into primitive survival
As a way to be better prepared going out
On adventures.
I'm excited to test my skill
Under different circumstance than I'm used to.
With this challenge,
I'm trying to prove to myself
That I can handle whatever comes at me
And be able to take it on with grace and succeed.
Molly's wilderness emt skill
Will be an asset in the jungle,
But her lack of experience in a tropical climate
Could make it difficult for her.
She starts with a primitive survival rating
Or psr, of 6.7.
I'm a great fire starter,
Shelter builder, forging.
Okay.
- Yeah. - I...
Mostly hunting, shelter-building.
I've been practicing primitive survival
Since I was about five years old.
My brother and I would go deep into the woods
And build shelters
And pretend that we're living off of the land
Now, I raise my own land,
Chickens and grow all of my vegetables and fruit
At my homestead.
Oh, look at this.
I consider myself more of a lone wolf
Than a team player.
I know that I would have no problem making it 21 day
Without my partner.
I'm always looking for an opportunity
To push myself further
Than anyone else will go,
And this is the perfect opportunity for me to do that.
Nathan is comfortable
Living off the land
But his lone wolf mentality
Could make working with a partner difficult.
He starts with a psr of 6.9
Feels like this is the start of a good partnership.
I think so.
Let's get through these 21 days 'cause I ain't...
- I'm not tapping if you don't. - All right.
- No tap pact. - No tap pact.
Okay. Good.
Awesome.
I can see our stuff over here.
Let's check out what we got.
Molly and nathan have each brought
A survival item.
I have my awesome machete.
Nice.
I got my fire starter.
I have the same one.
- Do you really? - Yeah.
That's awesome.
And been given a pot to boil water.
I've got the map in here as well.
So here, we are at our meet point.
Looks like we've got a water source right here.
Yup. So that'll be camp.
Some dangers,
Fer-de-lance, caiman,
Corral snakes, and jaguars.
I'm gonna try to hunt some caimans though.
- Amazing. - I'm gonna be...
I'm gonna be exploring some of the...
Some of the danger zones.
Cool. I love it.
It looks like it's pretty dense through here.
- Yeah. - So let's see if we can walk
Along the beach and then cut in, yup.
Cool. All right.
- All right. - Shall we?
- Yeah. Let's. - Let's go.
Just met my partner molly.
She seems super cool.
I think that her fire skills
From her survival wilderness teaching
Will probably come in pretty handy.
And I know that she'll be able to tend fire
And keep everything going while I go out and explore.
I'm pretty excited.
Seems like a good fit.
And I couldn't have asked for anything better.
Look at all this vine.
I know. Such good cordage.
I know how to make cordage out of bamboo as well.
Oh, excellent.
Looks like we got some coconuts here.
Let's collect them 'cause we don't know
When we're gonna get water going tonight.
We might not start a fire so...
That's a good point.
Already feeling good about this partnership.
I think we're gonna balance each other really well.
I think his hunting skills will be awesome.
Nice, nathan.
And he's got this super technique
For getting coconuts down
From higher palm trees.
Excellent.
Whew.
Nice work grabbing those coconuts.
- Grab some cordage? - Yeah. I grab some cordage,
- Some vines. - They'll come in handy.
Well, this is gonna be nice.
At least, we'll have something to drink tonight.
- Totally. - Mwah.
Well, let's continue on.
This is a good start.
We should be careful with the rocks
And the current.
It does look like we lose the beach to walk on.
- So we'll take a... - Yeah, so we might need.
- More rugged... - To cut in over here.
- All right. - Looks like we climb up here.
Scramble up here.
We gotta head into the jungle.
We can find some water up there for sure.
- Yeah. Definitely. - Fresh water.
Keep an eye out for snakes.
This is snake city right here.
Yeah.
Big hiding spots.
Oh, look at that. Snake skin.
Let's see.
Uh, looks like a snake belly.
Yeah.
Sort of looks like the sign of a fer-de-lance.
Oh.
The fer-de-lance is the deadliest snake
In south america,
Killing more humans than any other reptile.
With their oversized fangs,
They can inject 16 times the lethal dose
Of hemotoxic venom,
Which attacks red blood cells,
Causing muscle and skin tissue to die.
Necrosis is not good.
- No. - Hemotoxic venom...
Melts away your muscles.
It is hot.
Sweltering.
It sure feels like we've been walking a while.
Weighted down with coconuts
Exhausted from this multi-mile hike,
Sweat is just dripping down my body.
Damn, I'm getting torched.
The only thing I can think about
Is finding a permanent camp spot
And starting to figure out the fire
And the water situation.
Oh, yeah. Look at that. We got water.
We got the river.
We got the river.
Awesome.
This looks like caiman country.
Yeah, it does.
Around dark, caiman will probably
Be active in this area.
- Awesome. - We'll have to come back.
Yeah.
I think this is the water source.
Yeah. I think you're right.
We'll probably wanna make camp
A little ways from here.
Yeah, 'cause it could rise up if rains come
And torrential downpour.
Let's explore around here and see...
Yeah. Yeah. Let's try to find an open...
More open space.
Okay. Let's keep going.
Okay.
Ooh, look at that.
That's a freshly-burrowed little mud hole.
Yeah.
I wonder what makes these holes,
- Little rodents? - I'm thinking crabs,
Honestly.
Wow, that'd be a nice-size crab.
Yeah.
Blue land crabs burrow underground
And eat leaves and fruit that they collect
Next to their holes.
The male's defining feature is his dimorphic claw,
Which can grow to nearly twice the size of the other
whoa.
- It's a crazy... - Oh, that's clay, look.
Yeah, this is clay.
Oh, we could potentially use this
To cover our bodies from mosquitoes.
Hell, yeah.
- Woo. - A little spa day.
- Oh... yeah. - Spa day.
Let's go.
I'm pulling this out of my skin,
All the toxins.
Smells a little rank.
Now that it's all over my body?
Oh, this looks pretty open.
Yeah, this looks great.
This definitely feels a safer distance away...
- Yeah, from the water. - From the water.
So maybe this is our spot.
- And it's already flat. - Yeah.
Tonight I'll try to make hammocks out of bamboo
And we could hang in the trees
And then really get down
On a serious structure tomorrow.
- Tomorrow? Yeah. - And let...
I think that today we should focus
On fire and sterilize water.
Sterilize water. Yeah.
We've got to get a fire built
And some type of shelter out.
So I think this is a good way to go.
It's like our spot.
Looks like home.
A home sweet home.
Now, that's some thick bamboo.
Our insertion hike took so long
That we don't have many hour of daylight left,
So I decide that I'm going to fashion a hammock
Out of bamboo.
And we brought some cordage from the beach
And my thought is that we could suspend the bamboo
Between two trees and hopefully be raised
From the ground for our sleep tonight.
Wow, good job with all the firewood.
Yeah, did a... Did a haul.
- Big haul. - Nice.
So, what's the best way for us to get this done?
I think that the hammock making is a one-man job
Because you have to have blade, so...
right, you have... To be able to cut it.
All right. I will...
Oh, you know what, stripping the leaves off
Of the cordage and then roping it up
So it's super tidy and ready to be used.
Mmm-hmm.
Essentially, what I'm gonna do
Is making incisions right here
And all the way down
Eight times and it will spread
Into a hammock.
All right.
I need to be gentle now.
This is the rough frame of the hammock.
- Dope. - That should work.
And then we'll tie cordage on the...
Each side and put it between two trees,
And this will be the body of it right here.
This might work.
Yeah.
This might just work.
- Let me try to... - Should we test it?
Yeah, let me try to test it.
Okay.
Here goes nothing.
It's awfully high for comfort.
Yeah.
No.
Shoot.
Um...
If this hammock plan doesn't work,
We can definitely throw together
A debris shelter.
There's a lot of stuff around.
Are you talking about making a little, like...
- Yeah. - Yeah, I mean,
That would work. It...
Just for coverage for tonight...
yeah. Mmm-hmm.
If it didn't pan out.
Let's use the rest of our cordage
To try to reinforce this one since it's already made.
We're, like, 10 minutes away from this being done
If we just use all the rest of the cordage on it.
And then at least one of us has some...
And then I can just, like, honestly, like,
Right here will be fine for me.
- Are you sure? - For the night, yes.
- Okay. - 100%.
If you wanna start making the fire,
- I could finish doing the... - Okay.
So let's just try that.
Bamboo hammocks,
It is a really cool idea.
But it might have been bette
To focus on a more permanent structure.
But we have to just go with that
Because we're running out of daylight,
We need to get the fire goin
To boil our water
And ward off potential predators.
Okay. Here we go.
Yeah, that stick lit.
Keep putting little sticks on it.
As long as them sticks light we're in business.
Ooh, look at that.
Make it roar.
Dragon breath.
I am beyond gratefu
To have a fire on day one.
We're gonna crack some coconuts,
Drink some water, finish the hammock,
And try to catch some z's
And hit it hard tomorrow.
I'm trying to get a lot done tomorrow.
We are about to crack open our first two coconuts.
- Celebratory coconuts. - Coconut.
Thank you, coconut tree.
- Thank you nathan... - Woo-hoo!
For being a coconut tree climber.
A palm tree climber.
Monkey man.
Monkey man.
We'll definitely need to figure out
A better shelter situation tomorrow.
We're in a tropical environment
Where it's sure to rain.
But I'm feeling really good about, um,
Our situation thus far.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
This is the bamboo hammock.
Okay.
Sitting on it.
- It seems sturdy. - Opening it.
Seems pretty sturdy.
Honestly.
Okay.
So now the part...
oh, I could spread it so you could get on it easier.
Yes.
- Feet up here. - Yeah.
Ooh, okay.
Hopefully you're not gonna spike your back.
Not too bad.
Oh.
This is the bamboo hammock.
Not too bad.
Oh.
Oh, no.
- Are you okay? - Wait, wait. It looks like
It just slid out.
Shoot.
I know.
Might just have to...
- Roughneck it? - Cowboy camp it.
Oh, my god.
So much for the hammock idea.
I know.
What is that?
I'm just starting to hear some sounds
Over in the brush over there.
Well, night one...
Really not getting any sleep.
- All night. - It's a long night.
Keep hearing something in the bushes over there.
And we're sleeping on the ground,
Tending fire.
Oh, there it is again.
I have the machete ready for action,
Just in case...
Just in case.
Ready for whatever comes our way.
And sleep ain't it.
No, I don't think sleep is coming in till tomorrow.
Hopefully.
This water honestly tastes surprisingly good.
When you're this dehydrated water gets you high.
- Mmm-hmm. - It feels so good.
Despite being exhausted,
We have some pretty high energy plans for today.
We have to make a shelter
Because we both slept on the ground
And it was not ideal.
So we're going to be making a, uh,
Elevated platform using y,
Um, sticks that we pound into the ground
As the support.
Hello.
Woo.
- Living dangerously. - Yeah.
And then bamboo shoots and then bamboo this way.
And, uh, we'll see how it goes.
It's gonna take a lot of energy
Because the bamboo is massive.
That is a solid... Solid peg.
That's a solid y.
That is not going to break apart.
We can use the crab holes to our advantage
Instead of digging, we can just do this.
Just going down the crab hole.
There we go.
So I built a, uh, large fence on my homestead
That covers... That surrounds an acre,
And what you do instead of packing it as you go
You drive it in as far as possible
And then you put rocks on the inside next to it.
And then you put dirt because it creates
A really secure like connection.
Cool.
So this is as far in as its going?
For sure. I'll give it a whack.
Shoot.
Splitting.
Would you mind reinforce all of this
By that split with, um,
With the cordage that we have?
Sure.
That's pretty, pretty easy.
The crabs did most of the work for us.
Oh. My hands are getting tired of this choppin'
I tell you what...
Tag out.
Wanna bevel this?
Yup.
Once we get this peg in
We get to have our coconuts.
Wew!
Would you mind doing it on a raised thing
Because the tip is just eating dirt and dulls it.
Oh, yeah.
And we have...
I'm just super, super, super, super, like...
- Because this is rolling off? - I want my blade to be sharp
If I jump on top of a caiman
And then the tip is not sharp.
It's not gonna pierce its skull
And I'm gonna have a real,
Real disaster on my hands.
I feel like this is rolling,
I can cut my finger off.
Here I can do it.
No, no, no, I'm good.
Just like I said I'm gonna take over
If it keeps hitting the dirt
Because I can't stress enough how important it is
To keep the tip from being dulled.
I am extremely particular
About the order in which I do things
And the manner in which I do things
Because I try to be as scientific, and unbiased,
And unemotional about the things
That I'm doing as possible.
If I know better I know better,
If they know better, then they know better.
And if they can show me that
Then I will accept it.
But if they can't,
Then it's going to be my way.
Let's go cut down some bamboo.
Perfect.
You can actually tend the fire and the water
For the first half
And then when I do some I can...
And then get tired I'll come back and...
- Okay. Trade up? - We'll switch.
Cool.
Nathan has a lot of opinions
About how things need to go
Based on his experience on his homestead,
Having worked in the outdoor industry
I'm definitely no stranger to mansplaining,
But it's getting a little irksome.
His need to strong arm the situation,
teamwork makes the dream work
And I feel like we could accelerate the process
A bit better if we were on the same page.
Yow.
Sub. Time out.
Um, wait until I get a couple more
- And then can you chop 'em? - Yes.
Just after this next pot boils.
Yeah. So it's on and the fire's stoked.
And I need to do something other than that.
What's that?
So I've pretty much been tending to the fire
And you've been over exerting yourself.
- I'm not overexerting myself. - And I wanna...
- Talk about... - We have a time...
Team work is the dream work.
I know. I know.
And...
and that's why you can...
- We should communicate and... - listen.
That's why I'm communicating to you...
Divide our labor better.
This is why I'm communicating to you right now.
I need to get two more of these
And you can chop it up,
It's gonna be 20 more minutes.
So I'm just going to let you know that
And that's how it is, okay?
Your way or the highway, okay.
I didn't come here to just keep the fire going,
It's not all of the skills that I have
And it's starting to get pretty frustrating.
Oh.
Giant thorns.
I do extremely dangerous
And challenging activities on a daily basis
And if someone wants to come along
I am the captain and they are the first mate
And there's no other way to do it
Because until someone can prove to me
That they can do the task that I'm attempting
In a more efficient way
I'm not going to allow them to do it before me.
Honestly...
This is my second to last one I've done
All the work already.
If she wants to help she can chop
20 minutes isn't gonna kill her.
It would take her a couple hours to do this.
Thank you for waiting 30 minutes.
Here are the, uh...
It's the measuring stick and the machete tapped in.
Okay.
Take a load off.
Yes, indeed.
I definitely feel like natha
Is trying to dominate the situation.
I also think he has a personality type
That cannot deviate from what his vision is.
I'm not gonna sit out there
And argue with him
And expend energy in that way.
I'm not trying to create a rift this early,
But I'm not feeling like I've got a true team player,
Um, and a partner right now.
Oh, wow, that really cut, huh?
That was the bamboo.
I'm chopping bamboo,
Of course, I'm being extra careful with a machete
For safety purposes but also, uh,
So as not to dull the blade.
And the bamboo on one
As I pull it away slices my toe.
And so now, I've got an open wound
On the bottom of my foot.
Probably the worst place
For what we're doing out here.
Hey, is there any of that water left?
- There is. - Okay.
I'm about to fill up another.
I'm actually just gonna use a little
To clean out my toe,
That, uh, a piece of bamboo
- Cut my toe. - Oh.
So I need to irrigate that out.
I'm gonna go fill this up and get more water.
Okay.
Let me know if you need anything.
Okay. Thanks.
Dang.
Blood trail.
I really hope that doesn't get infected.
This is literally why I wanted to do it.
Oh my god, are you kidding me?
Oh.
I've done some primitive wrapping of wounds
Before definitely my training
As a wilderness first responder
Where you're taught to improvise what you have
On you and what's around yo in the field.
To make splints out of bark or sticks,
To keep things clean and properly dressed,
And avoid infection at all costs.
Feels pretty good...
For now.
Is the toe okay?
Um, it's a pretty deep cut, but...
- Ooh. - I was able to irrigate it
And wrap it.
So it's feeling good right now.
I'm glad to hear that.
Shall we start laying these across?
I think so, yeah.
Would you do that super secure tie that you do?
Yes.
It hasn't been grea working together today,
But I think we've kind of leveled out
To a point where we're able to get this piece done.
So I guess we'll do the big ones on that side,
And then move to the smaller ones as we go,
So it stays regular instead of being bumpy.
Yeah, that makes sense.
I still want to work together with nathan.
I think if we can move through this,
We can still have a very successful partnership
And a very successful challenge.
But I definitely need us to get on the same page.
Would you like your last coconut?
I'm about to crack mine.
Sure. Thank you.
I think more coconuts tomorrow
Is a pretty big priority
Because if we could get, like,
Five to ten more, I think that,
That would be a life changer...
- Yeah. - Right now.
Calories, hydration, electrolytes.
And then we can bring back all the big ones
And probably try to ration ourselves to one each a day.
Yeah. I think so.
Well, looks like we're going to the beach tomorrow.
- Beach day. - Beach day!
The end of day two.
Check out our cool new enclosure tonight,
- So we can hopefully get... - Yeah. We got...
We're gonna get 12 hours of sleep.
We're stylin'.
Yeah. We're getting 12 hours of sleep tonight.
We've been pretty productive
And we need to just chill out.
All right. Big plans,
But big sleeps tonight.
- Buenas noches. - Buenas noches.
Oh.
- Whoa! - Well, it's a little tiny
- Bit of protein. - We got a meal.
It's not a lot, but it's not nothing.
Hey, it's something.
Not a bad start to the morning.
Not at all.
Even though its legs are eating me.
After our little blowup yesterday,
Molly and I have been getting along really well.
My strategy for conflict resolution
Might not be the healthiest
But I'm just pretending it didn't happen
And I'm trying to just focus on the biggest,
Most dire problems, which are calories, shelter.
That's all I really care about,
And I think that she also cares about that.
So here's a very small,
But not inconsequential meal of frog legs.
Nice. Getting a little bit of protein
Will help us through today's excursion.
It might seem crazy to go back
To the original insertion beach,
But I know that there were more resources
Than I could carry originally,
So we hope to come back with a bounty of fruits
And useful materials.
Oh, that's really good, it tastes like chicken.
Mmm-hmm.
That was a good gram or two of protein.
Mmm-hmm.
Now, that breakfast is all wrapped up...
mmm-hmm.
Time for a pilgrimage of sorts.
Yeah, back to the beginning.
Our humble beginnings.
Slow and steady.
Yeah.
I'm a little bit anxious
About the hike to the beach today
Because we probably should be working
On getting a roof on our shelter,
But hopefully,
We can collect some resources
That will help fuel us for the next several days,
So that we can focus and prioritize the shelter.
That just sounded like a caiman
Moving in the water.
Oh, my god.
That just sounded like a caiman moving in the water.
Oh, yeah, that was a caiman.
It was.
It was a little baby caiman. Well...
scampering back up to its den.
We know they're in here, then.
And I know they have a den up there.
Leave that for another day.
Now I know there's caiman for sure in there,
Just as I suspected.
I can't wait to get in that water.
This feels amazing.
We make it to the beach
And the first thing I do
Is go straight into the ocean.
And nathan's preparing to climb a coconut tree
To get some of the coconuts down for us.
Nice.
Ouch.
That was a lot easier on day one,
I'll tell you that.
Would you like to open your own?
Sure.
- Oh. - Ooh.
It's still good, still good.
Cheers.
Cheers.
To giant coconuts.
Oh, yeah.
Molly and I are feasting on coconut
And it is incredible.
Every part of me is happy
That we made this extreme pilgrimage.
All of my doubts about whether or not
It was a good idea just evaporated.
Look at that.
Plums, I don't know their scientific name.
Got the goodies. Icaco.
As if this day couldn't get better.
When we were contemplating this journey,
I was hoping to at least breakeven
With our calorie deficit,
But this has turned into
Literally a cornucopia.
Yum.
Bountiful beach harvest.
Icaco and a whole gang of coconut.
We are absolutely killing it.
This is feeling really, really good.
These icaco will help fuel us for the hike back.
Good job. High five.
Whoa.
Oh, there's a crab right there.
Oh, get it.
Having a lot of rest today is very important
Because we've been burning the candle at both ends
And we need to just relax and recuperate
Because this is a marathon, not a sprint.
- Yes! - Did you get it?
- Yes! - Oh!
Yeah!
- Yes! - Breakfast.
First crab. We can eat crab...
oh, yeah.
We can cook them up.
- Yes! - Could you believe
That I snuck up on him?
Did you see how slow I went?
- Amazing. - Oh, my god.
- Yes. - First crab on the board.
Yeah.
Yes!
- Mmm-hmm. - This is amazing.
So good.
The air feels moist.
Mmm-hmm.
I'm thinking, like,
We could cut down a bunch of banana leaves
For the platform.
I know that we need the rest today,
But I am a little anxious about the weather
That could be moving towards us.
We're gonna collect some banana leaves
And kind of layer
And lay them down over the platform.
And if need be, we would attempt to hunker down
Underneath the platform itself.
Isn't that a nice amount of paneling?
- Yeah, it's great. - I think that that, plus that,
I think that we might be able to stay dry.
Which would be crucial.
Do your worst, colombia, do your worst.
This is the beginning of our setup
Of our coverage shelter.
And put all this on top of it,
Hopefully help it drain.
This is all the firewood for the night.
Molly and I are going to be
On the opposite side of that,
Just with barely any space for us.
It's gonna be a wild night,
I feel the rain coming, and...
I wish we could just have a day to chill,
But it is a challenge,
And that's why they call it a challenge.
- Yup. - Uh-oh.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
- Get under there? - Yeah.
Oh, my god!
The storm has hit and we are under our shelter.
We have a fire,
But it is leaking on our butts.
So we're not dry, but at least...
- Not entirely. - Our fire is still going...
Yeah.
- So that's... - We got...
The most important thing right now,
And we're just hoping that it holds.
We've got hope in that.
It's gonna be a long night.
It's gonna be a long night.
We did have rain last night
And we ended up on the ground, under the platform.
Let's just use a touch of this to get it humming.
I just need to step away from it for a second
Because it's making me feel really sick.
It's warm and dry,
But we've had the fire pretty far underneath there
To preserve it.
The smoke was kind of hanging back in the area
That we were camped under,
And I just feel like
It's making me feel ill today.
So I really would like to finish getting the roof
Up on the shelter.
I'm gonna go back over to that clearing
And see if I can grab the bamboo
That we already have down there,
And bring it back up here,
So we can start shaping things out.
Modifying the current platform to include a roof structure.
Before you get too far along with that,
Consider for a second that I was up all night
Tending the fire because during the rain,
It has to be fed all the time, you know?
If we build a roof for a shelter,
We can't put the fire under the platform,
So we need to build a new fire protection structure.
If we have the fire in a separate structure,
We're going to have to be getting up to feed it,
As opposed to laying down and feeding it.
Essentially, we'll be making it more difficult
To tend the fire.
You basically have to choose either getting up
Every time to feed the fire or some smoke inhalation,
Which your body will adapt to.
It's... I just...
That's not something that I really want to chance
With my asthma, so...
Yeah. But I've been the one tending to the fire at night
For every night so far.
So I'm telling you,
I'm not okay with doing that every night
And you making it more difficult for me to do that,
Just because you're telling me, like,
You're taking a stand on your principle of health,
I understand that, and I respect that.
But, this structure functions,
And you can go ahead
And process that one all you like,
But I'm not going to help you do something
That makes it harder for me to survive.
Yeah.
And if we have to stay under here again tonight,
That's fine.
But we need to get off the ground
With a roof over our heads.
I'm just really concerned that we're, like,
Heading into day five
And we still don't have, like, our full structure.
I know, but it's fully up to you.
If you wanna go at the machete
At that stuff all day long, then be my guest,
I'm not gonna stop you.
But I'm just bringing up,
Like, my concerns because I have also been,
Like, putting myself with sleep exhaustion,
Physical stuff through equal
Or more rigorous things than you have.
So I'm in the same boat as you...
mmm-hmm.
But I just think that besides the smoke inhalation,
The structure didn't leak at all,
And it maintained the fire,
So I would prefer to just focus on calories,
So I just... I just wanna voice my concerns,
But go ahead and process away.
Yeah. I know. I just wanna keep making progress.
Sounds good.
I don't know why nathan is okay
With the way that the shelter is,
And what he's saying about the fire doesn't make sense
I'm trying to just maintain
Some level of partnership
When we disagree on things
But I also recognize that
Nathan is a personality typ
That there's probably not
A whole lot of reasoning with.
And knowing that,
I feel like I'm just trying to navigate around it.
You want to tend fire while I go walk
On a caiman run?
Okay.
I'm going to focus on getting calories
Because the structure met
All of my criteria last night.
So I'm very, very confident
In another night in that structure
Even if it is torrential downpours
And thunderstorms again.
Okay. I'm out to scout the caiman.
All right. Good luck.
Thank you.
Nathan has all these grand plans of hunting caima
And runs off with the machete.
So now, there's not a lot I could do
To make progress on the shelter
And that's frustrating for sure.
Oh, limes.
Not many calories but I'll take it.
Also, win already.
I am just masterful at hunting and gathering.
Oh, my gosh. Fish.
I think that molly is just out of her element.
For me to teach molly to perceive the environment
In the way that I am that is allowing me
To be so hyper-successful in my gathering of calories,
It would take at least five years of training.
Big old fish
But that means there's caiman in here for sure
Because if there's those big fish,
It's feeding on fish I bet.
It's not something that you learn overnight.
It's like a... It's an awareness
And presence of mind that one in a hundred,
If not, one in a thousand have.
This is the area at night
Where the caiman will be.
Cool.
Is that a little fruit right there?
Oh, my god. These are dates.
Dates are a very high calorie food
So that would be a score of the century
If these are dates.
This had been a pretty
Fruitful endeavor...
I got to stop with these dad jokes.
- What are those? - Found some interesting stuff.
Yeah?
No caiman unfortunately but...
I found these weird date-like things.
They look like dates.
But they smell, kind of, weird and ants were eating them
So that means there's sugar in them like, but...
Oh, yeah. It, kind of, smell like, uh, cucumber.
- Yeah. Right? - Yeah.
And the best thing of all,
I found...
Drum roll, limes.
Amazing. Oh, my gosh.
- Isn't that cool? - Can we eat one now?
Of course. There's... There's plenty.
Too bad there's not that many calories in it but...
I know, but it'll... Just like the flavor,
- You know... - yeah.
Will help.
Hmm. The fragrance.
Isn't it crazy how much things smell?
I know. Especially when you're hungry.
That's what I mean.
It's like, it heightens your...
yeah. All your senses.
Hmm.
We should probably start gathering firewood
For the night because we're gonna need a lot,
Or it's gonna be a really cold night.
You can hear the thunder.
- Yeah. - I really hope
It doesn't visit us but just based on the sky,
It looks like it's going to.
Wish us luck, um...
It kind of helps...
Yeah...
This is not very, uh, fun
But, uh, that's not what we signed up for.
Holy
The rain put us in our shelter
Really early yesterday night,
Like, two or three hours before sunset.
So we've been in our shelter
For about 15 hours.
The sun's finally about to arrive.
I think, thank god because I am tired
Of laying down the shelter,
Just waiting, and waiting, and waiting.
Luckily, I got some pretty decent sleep but...
Oh. Sure hope this rain stops.
It's just so miserable.
So what is your plan for the shelter?
I'm gonna throw a couple more planks
On the edge here
And then just a-frame above it
And, kind of, fill in with leaves and branches
And stuff like that.
Got you.
It was another nigh on the ground
Under the platform
And so after a few days
Of trying to make progress on the shelter together,
I'm just deciding to build my own
At the other end temporarily
And hopefully, we can later
Work together on the more permanent structure.
So in making, um, your own shelter,
It's going to create a couple logistical issues.
Um, one of them being
We're gonna have to maintain two fires,
Which is going to make the firewood even more scarce.
I'm thinking I might just
Make it more insulated
With plant material
And not have the fire.
You don't think that's gonna create a bug problem?
I think, like, temporarily, it's fine.
Every time I do try
To bring in a plan
Towards making progress on this,
Nathan has some reason why we shouldn't
Be focusing on that right now.
I'm over his micromanaging
So I am just going to respectfully
Do it on my own.
I was thinking about going to start
Gathering materials in a little bit.
Got the fire going,
Freshwater.
Let's just get one piece of bamboo
And switch other piece...
We can get a piece of bamboo switch...
Okay. So you wanna build the shelter now?
I wanna get all of the materials here first
And then once everything is here,
Then we can start to construct the roof,
- Okay? - Okay.
Last time that she tried to do something
With the blade and the bamboo,
She cut herself so I am 99.9% sure
That if I delegate the task
Of finishing the shelter to her
While I hunt, which is what I wanna do,
That she is going to probably end up
Hurting herself again
And not making it through the 21 days.
So I'm helping molly with the structure.
Off with a bang.
It's your turn now if you wanna
Finish the chopping.
Suddenly, it's nathan's idea
To start gathering materials to finish the roof
On our platform to make it a more substantial shelter.
I'm finding a pattern of where
He has to make the idea
Sound like it's coming from him.
So I'm just, kind of, placating at this point.
So I just think it's funny
And frustrating at the same time,
But what are you gonna do?
I'm just gonna keep my head up
And keep moving.
I'm not gonna be able to really do much more of this tonight
Because we have to gather
A significant amount of firewood
Just to make it through the night
Because the sky is graying
And it looks like it might rain again so...
All right. I'm gonna grab some materials
To just do my own thing
At the other end for the night.
Are you gonna split them?
No. Just lash a couple poles
And just a-frame up from there.
Make sure to keep the, uh, pot boiling
Because I'm about to go on a caiman walk.
Yeah. Sure.
Because we need to have water.
You know, water is a real big priority.
Like, your shelter and everything is, like,
Important to you but we have to, like, stay team-minded,
- You know... - Yeah. I hear you.
I can boil the water.
Working on my temporary shelter for the night,
Got a later start than expected
Since we're apparently not on schedule
To get the structure up again today,
But trying to make some headway right now.
- How'd it go? - No caiman.
Yeah. But I'm trying not to modify
The, uh, bamboo that we have
For the other.
I'm just doing what I can right now.
Yeah. Are we planning to...
Finish the structure tomorrow?
I mean, we're gonna work on it.
I don't know. It just... It takes longer than I think
That you imagine, just like you thought
It was gonna be done today.
Like, I knew it wasn't gonna happen.
Okay. But I just wanna be able
To plan for if I should work on my own thing
- Or if we're gonna get... - Well, I mean,
If you wanna just continuously work on your own thing
Then we're just going to start working
On our own stuff, period.
Because you are wasting calories right now
For nothing that has to do with team.
This is all for you. And it's not even a good plan.
It's not gonna work. Period.
- Just not. - I'm just...
I know you're frustrated. I know but...
No, no, no.
Because I'm working for both of us right now.
I've worked for both of us this entire time.
If you're gonna start
- Doing stuff on your own... - Dude...
And not working for the team...
can you listen? I've been working
For the team as well.
Your idea is always the right idea.
I mean, but look at yours.
Okay. So I have less time
Than I thought I was going to...
Yes. So that's what I'm saying. So if your plan
Doesn't work, it doesn't work. I'm not gonna...
I'm not gonna indulge your fantasy anymore.
- If you want... - Indulge my fantasy?
You had a fantasy that this would work.
- It doesn't work. So... - Okay.
I knew it wasn't going to work.
- Nathan... - And you didn't...
- You are... - There we are.
Nathan, everything that I bring up,
You undermined and condescend.
In what way?
I have brought up that I would like
To make more progress on our shelter
For the entire time that we've been here.
We're a week in.
- We're a week in. - We are six days in
- Right now and we spent... - And I'm coming...
The whole day of day six working on it.
Can you let me finish, please?
You just don't make any sense.
- Dude. - You literally...
You are condescending me
As I'm trying to explain to you.
So I feel like you are consistently undermining
When I bring up an idea.
Give me some other examples.
Every other time I brought up that we need
To fill out our shelter.
What day? When I was just gathering all the food?
Come on...
I've been trying to get you to come to the table
- And it's impossible. - I already did.
Look at the bamboo.
See, I didn't wanna do that today.
I did it because you asked for it.
So don't ask like I'm not coming to the table. No, no.
I'm not going to act like I'm in the wrong here.
If you think in some fantasy in your mind that
You have done more than half the work thus far,
It is unbelievable to me.
- Dude. - I am sorry
- But I am doing more... - I'm trying to affix your...
- No. - Every time I tried to do
- Something for us... - Explain what?
All you said is the shelter
And we've been working on the shelter.
We haven't really.
- We've done that. - It's been you domineering
- Every part of this. - Well, this is the thing.
Because I have gotten 95% of the calories.
- Okay. - So I have gotten...
Because you were like, okay, I need you to stay here
And tend to the fire.
I tend to the fire more than you.
- You are delusional. - During the day...
During the day...
You are delusional. No. I am 50/50 on the fire.
I get more water than you.
I literally do everything more than you.
You need to step it up or you need to listen.
Those are your only choices.
Or we can continue the challenge completely apart
And that is perfectly fine with me.
You are not rationally
Thinking about any of this.
And you're about to have a really rude wakeup call
If you don't change your tone.
- You are delusional. - During the day...
No, you are delusional. No. I am 50/50 on the fire.
I get more water than you.
I literally do everything more than you.
You need to step it up or you need to listen.
Those are your only choices.
Or we can continue the challenge completely apart
And that is perfectly fine with me.
You are not rationally
Thinking about any of this.
And you're about to have a really rude wakeup call
If you don't change your tone.
I appreciate you sharing it with me.
No, you don't. You're... Well, you better.
You better appreciate it
And you better change your tone
Or it's over from now on.
You are wrong about all of the things
That you have said, except for the fact
That I am calling most of the shots
Because I am more competent, period.
Do not diminish what I've done
- Because I have done... - I'm not diminishing
- What you've done. - More than anyone
In this challenge has ever done
In the first week, period.
- Okay. - No. No.
- Not okay. - What?
If you wanna continue gaining the benefit
Of getting 50% of what I have gotten,
Then you better change your tone.
I don't care if I come off condescending
Slightly at points.
It's because my ideas at this point,
Unfortunately, have been better.
I'm not going to pretend that they haven't.
You're out of your element and it's obvious.
Dude, you don't have to be rude.
- No. You are being rude. - I'm not being rude.
You're biting the hand that feeds.
- Yes, you are. - Dude.
You are biting the hand that feeds.
Anyway, so I'm gonna try to get some rest.
I had a pretty negative
Encounter with nathan.
And it's really made me question
Whether I wanna continue with this challenge.
I kind of feel like I'm moving in slow motion.
I'm like tired from not sleeping
And emotionally drained.
I don't really know what I wanna do.
And I feel like I'm kind of wandering.
My ability to perform
Wilderness survival
Shouldn't be contingent on
My dealing with
A toxic personality like nathan's.
And so I think that's what
I'm struggling with right now.
Cordage.
I'm pulling down some vining plants
To use the vine as cordage
To weave a fishing basket
That I'm going to attempt to create today.
I want doing a task like this,
Creating something,
Going out and exploring to, like,
Take my mind off things.
But it hasn't really.
It's almost noon. It's been like
Four and a half hours.
I have to assume molly is not coming back though.
I'm not sure if she tapped,
Not sure if she's left her fire starter for me.
Right now, I'm pretty frustrated.
What the serious?
So what's going on?
Um, I'm just doing
My own thing right now.
Got you.
All right.
Well, let's just continue doing that.
I'll do my own thing, you do your own thing.
I kind of wanna find a more
Off-the-path location.
It's difficult to separate
The toxic situation here with nathan,
From the reasons why I wanted to be here
Because even if we do go our separate ways,
We're still in the same area
Sometimes the best survival skill
Is to remove yourself from a toxic situation.
Nice, flesh already developed.
I feel relieved.
I'm doing my own thing.
But I'm also a bit anxious
Because I don't know
If I'm going to have to maintain this fire
For the rest of the challeng without any fire starter,
So it puts a lot of pressure on me
Because if the fire goes out,
I'm going to be between a rock and a hard space.
Right now,
I'm giving serious consideration
To whether or not I wanna tap.
And it's not an easy decisio to make at all
But everything in my body right now
Is telling me to go.
I'm just trying to give tha
A consideration that it's due.
I didn't anticipate that this would be
My most challenging point of this,
But here we are.
Here is my new temporary shelter.
I'm staying out here for the night,
On a bed of iroko leaves,
Which is actually quite comfortable I should say.
More comfortable than the dirt.
This is where I'm going to do
A lot of thinking about my next steps.
I just still pretty shaken.
As difficult a decision as this has been to make,
I feel like...
I feel like staying true to myself
And understanding that I'm allowed
To give myself grace,
Even in situations like this,
To act on my inner knowing
Is really important.
What's going on, molly?
Hey.
I wanna tap out.
Okay. If that's your final decision,
I'll get a car and we'll get you out of here.
Okay. Yeah.
That's what I'd like.
I'm sad to leave.
I'm disappointed in
Not finishing what I set out to.
I'm a strong person with strong skills
But everyone reaches their breaking point
And this fight with nathan made me reach mine.
- Hey, nathan. - Yes?
I wanna let you know that your partner molly
Has decided to tap today.
I don't know if you wanna say any last words to her
Before she heads out.
I sincerely doubt that she wants to hear from me,
To be perfectly honest with you.
I'm not going to say that I was wrong
About the things that I said,
It's the way that I said them that was wrong
And I don't think that that's an apology
That she's going to wanna hear.
I mean, I guess saying sorry couldn't hurt.
- Hey, molly. - Hey.
Heard that you're tapping.
I just wanted to say before you go
That I'm really sorry for overreacting
And it wasn't right of me at all.
And when I feel criticized,
I overreact often and pop off and it's not right,
And it's something that I have to work on,
And I just want to say that I'm genuinely sorry for that.
And you didn't deserve that.
Thank you. I appreciate that apology.
- Fire starter? - Thank you.
I appreciate it.
Definitely.
And good luck.
Enjoy getting back to the city.
Mmm-hmm.
- Bye. - Bye.
I'm surprised that he came with the apology.
I would like to believe that that was sincere.
Aside from the conflict with nathan,
I feel I was very capable
Of enduring the elements,
Enduring the physical discomforts.
I wasn't necessarily afforded the chance
To really realize all of my skills
But that's for another time.
This has been a hard decision to make
But knowing my self-worth
Is more important than this challenge.
And I'm worth more
Than how I was treated
And I think it does take a strong person
To walk away from a situation like this.
After eight days molly exits the challenge.
Her psr drops
From 6.7 to 5.9.
Ready to get to work on improving my shelter.
Going to build the fire awning right here
That will connect with my... The bed of the shelter.
And it will be large enough such that
Before I finish the roof for the shelter,
If rain comes, I'll be able to just sleep
Under the fire awning with the fire.
Now that molly's gone, it's just way easier for me
To get down to business
And to work on the improvements
That I need to work on.
I have a really strong game plan
For the next 12 days.
My plans for today are to build
A new fire protection structure.
Ten more to go.
Possibly tomorrow, I am going to go back to the beach
And I'm gonna climb the trees and get some more coconuts.
It's gonna be really, really trying day
But the upside of that is I'm going to have
Coconuts until about day 15, 16,
At which time I'm just goin to fast out the rest of it.
I think it's gonna be a good 12 days
But we'll see what colombia throws at me.
I'm pretty well set up right now.
Once I get my coconuts tomorrow,
There's nothing stopping me from getting to day 21.
Here goes nothing.
I'm feeling good. Now that molly's gone,
I just have to feed one person, myself.
So I am going to go back to the beach
And I'm gonna climb the tree and get some more coconuts.
This is gonna be treacherous
But the caloric gain from it
Is going to be well worth it.
Oh my gosh.
Jobo fruit.
Oh, yeah, there's so many.
Fudge yes.
God, I love it.
I'm gonna fuel up on some jobo fruit.
Give me some energy.
Based on my research, these jobo fruit
Taste like a mixture between a lime and a mango.
They're a little bit bitter
And some of them are fermented.
Bugs.
There are plenty.
This is huge.
Looking for the firmer ones
That haven't been scavenged by bugs yet.
Should be good for now.
And that's how you get ticks 101.
But it's also how you get a bag full of jobo fruit.
I'm gonna snack on these on the journey.
It's gonna give me glycogen to get up those trees.
Almost just walked face first into a spider web.
Wow, that jobo fruit really pumped me up.
I can feel just energy coursing through my veins.
Right when I get to the beach, my first priority
Is gonna be looking for coconuts on the ground.
I hear the ocean roaring, so I must be close.
It's the first view of the ocean I've had
In about six days.
Sure does look beautiful.
This is my first time doing the insertion hike solo.
Means that I can go on my own pace
But it also means I have to take the burden
All onto myself to get everything back
And makes me a little bittersweet
About the whole situation.
And I'm glad I apologized but part of me
Wishes she was here right now.
Right up here is the first moderately sized coconut tree
That I could see myself climbing.
I'm gonna go scout and see if I can traverse
The landscape up to it, but it looks pretty rough
And there's not a path of any sort, so...
Here goes nothing.
Looks like a sprouted coconut.
Oh, my god, these are all sprouted coconuts.
Coconut sprouts contain an edible
Sponge like flesh that is rich in carbohydrate
And slightly sweet.
Oh, my god, if this is... Ow!
Something just bit me.
If this is what I think it is,
Then I'm going to have an abundance,
But they might be too far.
Ouch.
Ouch. wasp.
Ow.
God.
Okay, there's a wasp hive that lives on this coconut.
Ouch, that hurt,
But I've already gotten like five or six stings,
So I'm not gonna quit now.
I'm gonna see what's in that coconut.
Mama didn't raise a quitter.
No pain no gain.
Get the...
Ah.
Damn you.
Looks like I win this round.
No bueno.
That wasn't worth it.
It doesn't look like much is here.
I'm gonna go check the next tree
And see what dangers await me.
Holy moly.
That's the mother lode up there.
Oh, joy rhapsody.
Yes.
Now I have to decide if I wanna
Make all my climbing into one coconut tree,
Because that's about 15 coconuts
But it's very treacherous and difficult.
Oh, man, that's high.
If I fall from this tree,
I'm definitely gonna be auto tapped
With some serious injury,
But if I climb up this one tree,
It saves me climbing a dozen more
To find the same thing, so go big or go home,
That's what I always say.
Oh, god.
Oh, my god.
I dropped my machete.
Ouch.
Oh, god.
Molly has discovere that covering her body
With ash seems to be working against bugs.
So I'm gonna get all greased up.
- Ashy. - Do I look pretty?
Yeah.
- Nice. - We're stylin',
Because ash is really our friend right now.
Yes, it is.
It honestly is making it so the bugs
Are completely gone, which is, like...
- Yeah. - Yes.
If you're having bug problems, I feel...
bad for you son.
Got 99 problems but...
- Bugs ain't one. - Insect ain't one.
- Hit me. - Hit me.
Oh, my god.
I dropped my machete.
Ouch.
Oh, man.
That got me real bad.
I had to slide all the way down.
I was too tired to climb.
Ouch. That's real pain right there.
Man, I don't know if I can climb
Anymore today, that's awful.
Now I got to find the machete
Before I leave or I'm screwed.
The worst part is, I don't know where it went.
That's the price you pay for going big.
Ouch!
Ouch!
And ouch!
Where the is my machete?
Oh, here it is. Yes.
Had to trip on it.
Thank god not all is lost.
Oh, wow.
Ouch.
Well, that was a stupid idea.
Ouch.
Ouch!
Oh, my god, there's a giant coconut right there.
I might go back with some coconuts after all.
I have to see.
Water.
Bringing back these coconuts it's gonna be hard,
Both my feet are completely torn.
Every step I take chafes between my legs
And my chest is raw.
Anything that touches it is agony
Literally, like, agony.
Oh, god, I need to get back so bad.
Yeah, it's like rotten.
Oh, that's disappointing.
I just hacked through this coconut
And it took me 20 minutes and a lot of energy
To hack through it and it's really bad.
Back at square one.
Oh, man, what a day.
I hope that I can get some sleep tonight
Despite the pain.
It must be,
I don't know, 3:00 am or something.
My rub burn from that coconut tree
Is just agonizingly painfully.
It just kept me up all night.
Oh, I just need some sleep.
But I can't get comfortable
Because I can't move my legs,
But come hell or high water, I'm gonna get through it.
I'm gonna tough it out.
What else can I do?
Ahh.
Please just light on fire.
Ouch!
God, kneeling down and getting up
Has been so bad on my scabs,
It's just tearing them so much.
God, I'm in so much pain right now.
Today has been the hardest day for me by far.
Fire has been really hard to start,
And the thing that's making it the hardest
Is I have these really, really bad rashes
On the side of my legs.
They're really, really severe.
Every time I move, it's straight up agony.
Oh, my god, ow...
it hurts, man.
Okay. I'm gonna go get some water.
Ow!
I can do this.
I'm doing it.
Doing it right now.
Despite all the pain.
Oh, man, my balls hurt.
This is awful.
Oh, my god, this is rough.
And my water looks grosser and grosser every day.
Something as simple as going to get water
Just takes a lot of willpowe and determination,
Because every step I take splits my scabs
Will open wide and to bend over for the water,
Just makes it even worse,
So it's really hard doing just basic tasks.
The wood is incredibly wet.
I've been tending it for the last hour.
I can't get it a bigger flame than that.
Every time that I bend over it's agonizingly painful.
I have to keep bending over to blow into it.
So if it rains,
I'm not gonna have a fire for a few days,
Because I'm out of dry wood after tonight.
This is awful.
There's no way I can even boil water
On a flame like this.
That rainstorm came out of literally nowhere.
If it wasn't hard before.
Ah.
Dammit.
Fire.
Oh, my god.
Dammit.
It's day 11 today, I'm in huge pain.
My biggest worry today
Is that my wounds get infected.
They have developed a slight odor.
But there's nothing else I can do.
I just have to be patient and let my body heal itself.
And I really hope that it doesn't take too long.
I should have been working on my shelter.
I could have spent my time better and I didn't.
I just don't wanna deal with this right now.
Come on, rain, don't do me like that.
My whole shelter is wet.
I'm gonna get infected
With all the mud in my shelter.
I'm coming out.
I'm done.
I'm tapping.
I can't take it anymore.
My butt hurts.
My thigh is hurt.
This rainstorm is crazy.
If this rainstorm didn't come,
I think I probably would have made it,
Because tomorrow I would have reinforced everything,
But that's probably me destroying myself.
I wanna get out of here.
Okay. Is that your final decision?
- We'll get you out of here. - It's my final decision.
I was talking a big game,
Trying to convince myself that I'd make it,
But I've reached my limit.
And that's it. I can't believe it.
I can't believe it.
I still have energy to keep going,
It just, like, I just don't want to.
Eleven days out here was plenty for me.
I shouldn't have climbed that palm tree.
I shouldn't have injured myself.
It was all a risk that didn't need to be taken
I should have been working on my shelter.
I should have been preparin for a crazy storm like this
But the truth is I didn't.
My biggest regret is being stubborn
And stuck in my ways.
After 11 days,
Nathan's decision to tap ou
Drops his psr from 6.9
To 5.7.
I've learned a lot
I need to be a nicer person that's for sure.
I have no one to blame but myself.
You think you're tough enough until you're not.
And that's the truth of it.
