Original subtitles

Hang on, I can smell something.

- dead? - No.

Like, musky.

Like, I... It's not goat.

Like, it's musky.

Can you smell it? I have a really acute

Sense of smell with things like that.

On these challenges, you're usually able to potentially work

From sunup till sundown.

On this challenge, we have half an hour

To an hour at the most to get what we need done

And then get back in and warm up before it gets critical.

hey, ky, come here.

that looks like bear poop.

I thought it looked like bear poop.

Look, it's all down the trail. One, two, three.

It's definitely like a first poop

When you get out of hibernation, I think.

in the late winte months of montana,

Grizzly bears and black bear emerge from hibernation

And travel to lower elevatio in search of food

And to evacuate long-held-in waste.

During their four to six month sleep,

They do not defecate or urinate in their den.

whoa.

Is that what I think it is?

Massive paw prints.

They look like bear to me.

- what about you? - I thought the same.

makes us both go nervous,

Just knowing they're in such close proximity to our area.

I think there's both grizzlies and black bears in this area.

the bear tracks are probably only

A minute walk from our shelter.

I mean, these animals are out prowling

And they're probably checking us out.

One thing I am looking out for is long, straight branches,

I think we should all carry a spear when we come out.

I just think if we can have something that just jabs

And just keeps it at a distance,

Because they are coming out at this time of year

- And they are gonna be hungry. - Yeah.

It's snowing.

It is super, super cold out here.

I'm just completely numb.

This pile right here is jake and waz.

Hopefully, we don't get completely,

Like, a blizzard in here with all these holes.

I feel like sometime sara has a little bit

Of a negative outlook on things,

But the fact is, she works.

And, you know, I think she's her own worst enemy in this situation.

♪ we gotta have a positive attitude ♪

♪ to get through the day ♪

It's not that I'm lacking in any part of what I'm doing,

It's the fact that I don't seriously believe in myself.

if at any point I'm annoying or you... Don't.

- sara, stop it. - - if you have a problem, just let me know.

I need you to understand how awesome you are

And stop apologizing for yourself.

There's been a couple of times where I've noticed

Just from sara's choice of words or her tone,

That she really doesn't want to get on our nerves

Or she feels like she is getting on our nerves.

She's got no reason not to be confident.

She just needs to understan her worth and value a little bit more

And I'm happy to help.

yeah.

Just trying to make a littl reflecting wall here

Behind the fire in hopes of kind of projecting the he

...Towards the bedding area,

Um, and not letting it escape

Throughout the other parts of the shelter where we're not sleeping.

by building a rock wall around the fire

Heat has less ways to dissipate.

Then the stones retain warmt while reflecting and radiati heat inward.

try to keep as much heat as possible in the shelter,

So hopefully we will be sleeping better than we have.

it's definitely colder today than it was on insertion.

Yeah, we need a fire going all the time,

Which means somebody has to be in here all the time.

- Yup. - - I don't mind having that job,

But I'm not in pain so I don't need to do that job.

My back hurts. It hurts bending over,

I got two spots right here where that pain is,

And it's right here in that vertebrae.

I can't say I haven't though about leaving,

It's not something that I wanna do, but at the same time

I know when my back hurts, it's not something that goes away for real quick.

I don't want you to leave at all.

I appreciate that.

Coming from one person

That has chosen to leave...

...On their own accord, to one that hasn't,

There's definitely regret.

That pain is only temporary.

It is only temporary.

I mean, it's been since 2015 I think,

When I went to the philippines.

So, what, seven years?

And I still regret leaving out of the philippines.

Think I'm gonna go home.

Regret, it lasts a lot longe than pain.

I might go walk that creek a little bit

And see if I cannot deal where some food is.

if you go walk that creek, string that bow and take an arrow.

I just hate it, my feet are so sensitive to the cold.

But it's worth it for me to push through the pain

For the team.

I'll just do what I can for them.

That's all I can do.

I'm fixing to go out there and see if I can find some beaver.

I've been watching that water move around quite a bit,

And I know it's not a fish doing that.

It's all around the banks.

I think it's a good chance we got a beaver down here.

Yeah, it'd mean a lot to me to be able to get something to eat.

Especially for rod.

Something's moving.

Missed him. *bleep*.

*bleep*.

it's just different level of cold out here.

It's constant, it's miserabl and there's no reprieve.

skinned, just permeating cold.

In order to make it to day 14,

We have to continue to make improvements on the shelter.

We need to get that weather-tight and so it holds in heat better.

We're gonna stack this place with firewood.

We are definitely looking forward to some warm nights here in the shelter,

And I think that's gonna change everybody's attitude significantly.

uh, just, uh...

...Shaking, trying to get it under control.

It's taken probably an hour

For my core temp to reclimb

But now I'm super thirsty.

Bummer.

Had to push mentally. I'm cold.

Try to get us some water.

aw, man.

freezing.

I have had a chill, I'm trying to beat it.

Uh, stopping the shivering, but...

...Boy.

Freezing my ass off right now.

This is the dumbest thing I've ever done.

Undoubtedly.

All right, guys, we are officially melting snow water.

sweet, nice.

in extreme cold, blood vessels constrict,

Forcing blood to the core.

The sensation of thirst is greatly reduced

And urination becomes more frequent,

Allowing dehydration to unknowingly set in.

- I'm thirsty as hell. - - oh, yeah.

huh?-

ugh.

I'm kind of immobile right now.

this is really the worst I've felt on any challenge.

I feel just absolutely whipped and helpless.

This is really, really challenging.

I'm nauseous, everything hurts.

Feels like playing nfl football with no pads on.

Just think the switch from the...

- ...Snow water to the river water is the way to do it. - - yeah.

I think if we're going to boil water either way,

We might as well just pull it from the creek.

That sounds good to me.

both of the boys are kinda hurting,

And that means I gotta step up my game

And also make sure that they are staying on top of theirs.

Ugh.

Yeah, that's a lot of snow fleas.

And I can guarantee you do not want to be drinking these in your water.

near the end of winter in montana,

Rapid melts and freezes trap bacteria and fungi

In various snow layers, attracting snow fleas.

These crustacean-like hexapods feed on decaying matter

And can contaminate the sno with harmful microbes.

there's a possibility that that's what was causing

Some of the issues we were having.

I'm getting out of here, that's gross.

We're gonna do five minutes minimum.

Going to check the water.

- tastes better, right? - oh, way better.

notably better.

as you're drinking it,

You know, you get your core warm because you have to do that,

Because it's freaking freezing here.

yeah, much better.

you feeling better in the nauseousness department?

- yeah. - okay, that's good.

- jermaine, how about you? - - good.

- good. - okay.

The fire wall seems like it's helped a little,

As far as kinda reflecting the heat this way.

Too bad that it won't store heat though,

That goes landing on them in the night not quite warm.

- yeah. - - our sleeping arrangement

Needs to be about a foot higher, two feet higher.

our plan today is we're gonna work on

A mat to get us off the ground a little bit mor

And then our big goal after that's done

Is to get out and do a little hunting.

we need the mat mainly just so we

Can stop getting wet from the ground.

It's literally sucking the heat from us.

The ground's almost frozen where we're staying,

So we're losing body heat really quickly.

The more air we can put between the ground and us,

The warmer we're gonna stay

Good job, sara.

got a ton of reed.

yeah, it looks like it, that's awesome.

All right, now let's see if I can get this.

I probably lost my two holes here.

- It's always the worst case scenario with you. - - I know.

I don't mean to be so negative.

I don't know a lot about sara,

But she came into this not confident.

And I wanna watch her walk out of here

With all the confidence in the world.

you know, you're not the first person that's ever said that to me.

- I'm not surprised. - Holy *bleep*.

Waz and jake are very motivational and very encouraging.

They are also very patient with me.

I am doing things that are helpful,

And I'm not giving myself enough credit for it.

so, are you gonna be around here working if we go...

...Out for a bit?

well, don't you want me to tie the things together?

- Yeah, that'll be awesome. - okay.

you're gonna do amazing.

got my slingshot.

got your bow?

okay, let's go fetch some supper.

good luck, guys.

thank you.

It's like the grizzly first emerged from his cave.

I'm hungry. I need something in me

'cause I'm running out of energy.

in frigid weather shivering burns stored body fat,

Producing heat and regulatin core temperature,

But shivering consumes nearly 400 additional calori per hour.

I just wanna get some kinda food, whether it's trout...

...Rabbit, that'd be a huge morale boost.

But what I've gotta do is just remember that

I can only stay out so long. I gotta come in and warm up.

If I try to stay out past an hour or two too long,

I don't want a medic coming in here and medically tapping me.

Everybody's betting on me to be home within seven days.

My brother told me before I came,

He knows how much I hate the cold.

He said, "you'll be back before the end of the week."

How do you think I'm gonna do?

I think I'll see you back next Friday.

I'll buy you a steak dinner.

I'm still here.

And I'm gonna be here on day 14, walking out.

I am tending the fir

Rod's back, not feeling good, it hurts for him to walk.

And it's really cold outside

my back right now, still right around

Probably a six in pain.

I can deal with it

And I've been dealing with it, you know...

It's one of those things that

I don't know if it's gonna get better, if it's gonna get worse.

I'm always ready to step up and fill in where I can,

And I want all of us to bond together and work as a team.

I know trish has done other challenges,

It seemed like she wanted to be her own boss

And no matter what she said, it was always taken wrong.

you're micromanaging it, I got the log over here.

-I am micromanaging. I know how to build a raft. -Well, you don't need to.

-I don't need - to be micromanaged. -Trish, shut up. Right now.

No. I'll never *bleep* shut up.

but she's very strong

She knows what she can do,

She knows her skill set, she knows her ability.

And I'm glad for her to be here.

I'm still not content with the firewood we have,

Just because we almost ran out last night.

So I might let you two go to the lake and I'll, um...

...Collect a little firewood and get that fire going,

- try and warm up. - sounds good.

well, we won't be long, temperature like it is.

yeah, it's dropping rapidly.

so...

...First time out since day one.

I am trying to be more productive.

Very much still in pain from this cold.

This is just not something...

I don't think people are meant to be out here exposed like this.

Ky and gabby are amazing workers.

I wanna do the best that I c

Because that's what they deserve.

'cause I know they're gonna give it to me.

- you okay? - it's just...

I find the colder I get, it's like my chest wants to tighten up.

if there's anybody that I thought

Would probably have a hard time with the cold,

It's ky having literal no body fat, so...

...For joe to be struggling, it's definitely worrisome.

in order to scout the area and find sustenance

We can't just sit in the shelter for the next two weeks,

It's just not, that's not acceptable.

So we gotta get out there and find whatever it is that's here.

We got rabbit tracks.

There are tracks leading right under that log.

Okay, more rabbit tracks up here.

Joe, I think I see the rabbit.

Here.

Got your machete?

oh, I wish I had a bow right now, this is such an easy shot.

He's got his eyes fixed on me.

He doesn't see you there.

All right. Here goes nothing.

ugh.

I know. It's all right.

We can chase them around if we want to.

it's okay.

Just knowing that there's something out there for us, just a potential food source

It makes me want to push that much harder.

let's just get back.

it's still freezing out here.

I've been out here in the snow for a while.

It's some type of bird.

I'm trying to see if there's a carcass of it around.

They ate every damn bit of it.

Would've been nice to come across something half-ate, though.

I don't mind scavenging the rest of the meat if it's still good.

Oh, wow, my head feels so hot.

god.

It's, uh, just...

it's, uh, just...

I'm not going home.

I'm here. Just take, take it easy.

take it easy.

It's crazy 'cause I'm not even cold.

I'm fine.

Okay? Let me check you.

I'm not... Mmm.

but I need to check on you, honey.

you just got up too quick? You got dizzy after walking?

- I guess. - okay.

Can you answer some simple questions for me?

I can answer you anything.

- How many quarters make a dollar? - Four.

Four. Okay. Do you know what state we're in?

- Montana. - Okay.

And you feel like you're good to keep trying to find food?

-I will find food. I got to eat. -Yeah.

He's safe medically.

I instructed him to drink some more fluids,

Plenty of water, get some nutrition.

Take it easy when he feels lightheaded,

That we want him to sit down right away

So that we don't risk him falling and becoming injured.

- I've got to get to moving, though. - - yep.

- 'cause my feet are getting freezing cold. - - all right.

Let's move.

it scared me. I think it's because I haven't ate nothing.

I'm burning more calories, more energy.

But, kenny, you said I'd be home by the end of the week, old boy.

Guess what? I'm still here.

So you suck it, son.

I'll see you on my 14th day.

I'm bringing back firewood.

Although I'm feeling a little better.

No matter what you do, you get out of the shelter,

That wind's easily 40, 50 miles an hour.

I've been out here three minutes and I'm freezing.

I'm a tall person. I'm a big dude.

This pelt, although on somebody small it would cover a lot of them,

It's only covering 40% of my body.

yeah. I can do that next.

let's do that.

I've got my arms, I've got my legs

I've got to worry about 'cause it's cold.

But there's one more appendage, a fifth appendag

That I do not want to be col

I'll loose a toe, but I won't lose the fifth appendage.

Can't lose it.

As long as my butt is covered it helps a lot.

reindeer hides, they have one of the highes

Insulation values of any animal hide out there

only thing I'm worried about is it stays on

Need to improve the situation for him because I know

He needs to keep his, uh, groin warm.

Oh, that's going to look nice.

it'll do.

- Yeah? - Let me grab this part.

He's a big dude and those reindeer hides

Are not necessarily the largest around.

- Higher? Okay. - Yeah, so it sits atop my hip bone.

- there you go. - yeah.

All better. Feels like a diaper.

I don't know if it'll stay on, honestly.

it...

I don't really fe very hilarious at the moment

Have to walk around like bam bam with my diaper falling off.

It's kind of *bleep* up, actually.

Jesus, that's cold.

they're 15 yards apart. You stay low, I'll stay high.

Okay.

Just so that we can

Work together we should be side by side.

And that way if he scares anything towards me, I can get it.

If I scare anything towards him, he can get it.

jake, there's lots rabbits scared up around here

So I know they're gonna be in this area.

Where is it? Oh, is it...

oh!

I don't know if I got it.

- Oh, no. - - must have just missed it.

Something shot off. It looked like it was a hare.

Unfortunately we were unsuccessful.

But it was our first time so I remain optimistic.

Um, there's rose hips over here.

They're kind of like dehydrated, almost.

Like, a little sad, but, they're a great source of vitamin c.

They don't taste good.

They just taste kind of like cardboard.

They still have some nutritional value to them, so...

Try to make the most of what we've got.

Gotta eat.

I get really bitchy when I'm hungry.

by getting all this between us and the actual ground,

It'll help us get warmer, get better sleep.

'cause' we're more comfortable.

How are you?

Trying to break up branches.

how'd you go with that bedding?

you can look at it.

- nice. - well done.

okay.

- It's looking good. - looks great. Yeah.

So that's completed for now.

sweet.

waz and jake are jus absolutely amazing.

I appreciate them beyond belief.

Just knowing that they both believe in me,

It means everything.

whoa, this is kind of cozy right here. I like it.

It's nice, under here. Yep.

judging me for rolling in my sleep, now.

That's what it's come to?

Sleep, when I'm unconscious making choices.

You're lucky I don't have a martini in my hand, I would throw it at you.

I'm covered up in my nice bison hide here.

Still cold, though.

We all are snuggling and we're back to back.

I don't think you could get a stick between us.

We're so cold and we're shivering, so.

It helped, though.

- I'm pretty happy, guys. - - I'm happy.

I'm really happy too.

my legs are already burning.

each of these steps is friggin' agonizing.

This just sucks.

I can definitely feel my energy levels going down.

It's just, the constant shivering.

It's... It really takes it out of you.

I just...

I know if I keep going I'm gonna, gonna be useless.

- Yeah, I hear you. I know. - I just need to rest.

you got to rest. Exactly.

Get in there. The fire's going. Get warm.

oh, it's so cold.

is your foot getting soggy?

not at all. Is yours?

I've gotten through to the soggy layer now.

oh, no. I'm sorry to hear that.

I always keep an eye on the sun, where it is above the mountains,

To know how much time we have before we have to get warm.

Everything for me in surviva is risk verses reward,

Calories in verses calories out.

If I'm going to expend more calories getting food

Then I'm gonna earn from that food I'm gonna get,

It's not worth my time.

so there's water in here.

oh, down in this little thing?

- yeah. - is that cress?

it is.

We come across watercress.

It's a vegetation that grows in the water

And is also edible and relatively good for you

So we threw it in our bag for later.

Should we go back and have a watercress soup?

let's go try it out.

my toe's already cold.

And this snow is really coming in heavy now.

oh, that was a wet spot. Don't step there.

Continuous cold is absolutely the worst about all this.

I mean...

it's just, temperature is one thing, but the wind just doesn't quit.

It just... It takes every little bit of energy out of you.

You get this chill in you... You can't get it out.

I'm really, really struggling out here already.

ow, ow, ow.

it feels like there' ice crystals all around us.

this is like, legit cold outside.

a little too wet and too cold to do anything right now.

yeah. We have to start heading back now.

Joe! Is the fire raging?

Joe?

joe, you okay?

whoa. Are you okay?

joe?

are you okay?

he's passed out.

I'm trying to get a pulse on him, but...

Whoa. Oh, my goodness.

Joe, are you okay?

Can you hear me?

okay.

How long have you, have you been like this?

do we need to get the medic?

And I've been kind of here ever since,

Just to kind of recoup and recover.

joe's not feeling very well.

He is getting cold sweats and feeling nauseous

And feeling like he's gonna pass out.

So, obviously that's concerning.

so, this has happened to me before, it's not uncommon.

Just, it's like I knew it was coming so I just had to lay down.

joe, we have watercress out here if you're hungry.

- okay. - All right?

So, this is edible.

Um, the only concern is the water that it's in could be contaminated.

So, we allowed it to boil for several minutes, um,

To hopefully knock down any parasites or bacteria that might be in the water.

Think it needs some salt. Not bad, though.

Pudgy.

Yeah, there's some gritty bits in there.

I mean, for me there's something psychologically rewarding about

Putting something in my tummy right now, though.

- Like it doesn't have to be much. - Mmm-hmm.

- A couple bites makes a big difference. - Yeah.

let us know if you need anything, joe.

I'm just trying to catch my breath.

well, just relax a while.

we could definitely use some food.

I like to take a look at the creek

And see what we might be able to do

As far as trout and fishing.

It's a resource that's reall close to our shelter.

And that would be a really easy source of some great proteins.

Seems pretty solid.

Not really the most ideal ti for catching trout.

A lot of the creek is covered with ice.

So, just trying to think, almost like a beaver would.

Possibility of damming this up, breaking some of the ice up

To kind of create a little fishing hole.

Hopefully make it a little easier to,

To land some trout for dinner.

by creating a dam

Trout are unable to swim and float downstream.

The dammed water pools up, melting ice

And revealing hiding areas along the shore.

There are definitely some hazards.

Right now I'm on top of the creek,

Just hoping that it doesn't break.

Um, but I want food really badly.

Op, there goes my belt.

I put a couple stones down.

I'm gonna go warm up by the fire for a little bi

And come back down hopefully with waz.

I'll have double the horsepower.

Um, and if these have kind of disappeared by that point,

I know that it's working and it'll be worth the effort

To, uh, put into finishing this project.

Oh. So my rocks are gone.

So I put a couple of stones down here.

So, the water has definitely started to pool up

Just from that, so I feel like with a little bit more

Hopefully that'll start causing the ice to break away.

There's a trout, right there.

- See it? - yeah.

- it's, oh. - it's right there.

seeing a trout come up into that pool

Just makes every effort completely worthwhile.

It's kind of right under the ledge.

I mean, we just basically throw a *bleep* load of stuff on it.

Just like the beavers did in the days of old.

Ready? One, two, three.

yes! Dammit!

our plan is to clog this river up, and create, like, some extra water,

Get the ice outta there, and hopefully have a little better advantage

For, uh, hookin' ourselves a few trout.

All right, yeah, that stream is gettin' deeper by the second.

my promise is by the end we're gonna get a fish.

I want a trout from montana.

if you get six a those things a day, I'd be happy.

Jeremy had some gas last night.

- Oh, boy, did he have gas. - He did!

- That is not an understatement. - It was like a moose whisper.

hey, man.

and we're under this hide, so...

- ...So he dutch ovened us last night. - Yeah.

Covered wagon, dutch oven...

we're really bringing this team together.

- oh, god, going under the covers. - oh! Man.

that... Tha hurts my back laughing. Ow!

lookin' good. Lookin' good, rod.

thank you.

I usually don't stop, I usually don't slow down, and you know, not bein' abl

To do that out here, that gets to 'ya, I mean, it's tough.

You know, even though my bac hurts, and I'm in a lotta pa dealin' with it, we need foo

I know jeremy's never done dead falls. I've got experience in that.

And we need to try to get that beaver,

And one of the best ways to do that is with a trap.

I need to do this for my... For my team.

- Yeah, I'm glad rod's up. - yeah, me, too.

I'm extremely happy to see him on his feet.

If we get a food win, that'll boost him up, and he'll stay.

I'd love to get a rabbit over a beaver.

- I don't care what it is. - - but I'll take either.

there goes that beaver!

We've seen a beaver that's been coming up and down the bank over here.

So we're gonna set a trap up here, dead fall, that's gonna drop down

When that beaver comes through to try to get from o body of water to the next.

We gotta get busy.

It's what you gotta do for dinner.

Ooh, that wind's cold.

Oh, you get light-headed, get dizzy.

Oh.

That's what it's gonna do.

This gonna be the hard part.

I gotta put both these logs on there, and sit this trigger on there at the same time.

The second log, all it does is add weight...

...And there goes my trigger.

Ugh.

Ugh, my ribs. Cramp!

There it is.

Ugh.

I wanted to help them do the beaver.

I wanted to help get food.

I feel like crap.

I don't wanna leave my teammates.

Now, I don't know what to do.

Hey, you know, I can smell something.

whoa! Massive paw print

for this xl challenge,

The survivalists are given an fsr, or frozen survival rating,

That weighs each group's ability to complete the challenge as a team.

- is that cress? - it is.

ky and gabby landed the first food win of the challenge.

it's a vegetation that grows in the water,

And is also edible, and relatively good for you.

whoa! Are you okay?

but joe continue to struggle with the freezin temperatures,

Leaving the whole team vulnerable in this hostile environment

oh, my goodness.

their fsr drops from 71 to 53%.

I need 'ya to understand how awesome you are

And stop apologizing for yourself.

sara is overcomin her self-doubt and realizin her value to the team.

- nice! - well done!

okay, that's completed for now.

the group's positive mindsets allow the to endure the wind chill,

And work seamlessly as one.

yes! Dammit!

as a result, their fsr rises from 64 to 66%.

jermaine and wes have suffered from the cold and tainted water.

but sarah stepped up to improve the situation.

- tastes better, right? -oh, way better. Notably better.

with the team on the mend,

Their chance to finishing rises from 56 to 67%.

with jeremy at his physical breaking point,

Rod pushes for a food web.

It's what you gotta do for dinner.

but his efforts quickly lead to more pain.

Jeopardizing the team's chance of completing the challenge.

As a result, their team fsr rating plummets from 47 to 29%.

Now, rod's future in this challenge is in doub

I don't wanna leave my teammates.

wow.

I don't know how to solve the problem,

And I don't know if it can be solved here.

Ugh.

took care of the trap.

You know, I've been dealing with this since from day one.

- I see it all over your face, don't even say it. - - we ain't listening.

Rod, why?

I don't know what else I can do.

You know we'll take care a you.

I know, but what... What I think I need to do for my back, I can't do here.

I feel like crap.

I don't like it when I come out on a challenge, and this kind of crap happens.

My back hurts.

It really sucks.

I just hope that you are 100%.

- I am. - - and I'm not tryin' to convince you to stay,

I'm not.

I'd love for you to stay, don't get me wrong,

'cause I need you right here, hot rod.

I didn't have it set to my mind,

Until I went out there, and tried to put up the trap,

And I wanted to get the trap in for 'ya.

Thank you.

- I fixed the trap. - I mean, maybe they'll be one last

Thing from 'ya, you'll get to feed us.

I wanna see you guys get those, I wanna get 'em with 'ya.

I know, man, I was hopin' that you would.

watch you guys feast over beavertail.

It sounds like you made your mind up.

I have because of my body.

you know your body,

And if you felt like you done pushed yourself to that limit and went a little more,

And you feel it's time, then it's time.

I think it's that time.

- I'm sorry guys, I wouldn't bail out for no reason. - - I know.

so what's goin' on, rod?

I'm... I'm tapping. I'm done.

You're tapping, you're sure?

- I'm... I'm 100%. - don't leave yet.

Okay, I'll get you outta here.

Every second you've been out here, you've been awesome.

- we love you. You're part of the team. - I'm sorry guys.

don't be sorry, we love you, rod.

You're a *bleep* awesome teammate and this really sucks.

we'll meetin' up together,

- And we're gonna be on a cruise... - Get over here,

- And give me a hot hug. - ...Ship together.

I love you, buddy. Thank you for everything.

you're the best...

...You've been the best experience I've had on naked and afraid.

with my back hurting, this environment's too toug for me, right now.

It's too hard for me to... To press through.

You know, surviving naked in freezing temperatures

Is tough, it's really, really tough.

You know, I've... I've battled, uh, bugs in amazon and the mosquitos.

I've battled the animals the animals in africa,

And this has, by far, been my toughest challenge.

you know, you're worth more than this pelt, right?

I know.

I love you, guys.

- love you, rod. - - love you, too, a lot.

we'll miss you.

I'll miss you, too.

It's hard to leave 'em.

But I also don't want to keep goin' through what my body's doin' right now,

And the consequences of that come up with, either

It was a hard decision, it's just a decision that I had to make.

I was hopin' he'd get better.

it is cold as hell.

Holdin' out.

Freezin' to damn death.

when I say, "cold

Our water is literally refreezing.

it's freezing.

It's the most miserable night yet.

Eeek, that wind just gets in.

I just want a heater, and a hot shower.

rod, he just... He couldn't take it anymore.

We tried to encourage him, we tried to push him,

So we... We're gonna definitely miss rod.

Now that we're down one, it puts all that work now on two people.

keeping fire, and just fixing the shelter up to keep warm.

Everything is much harder.

I would a stayed completely uncomfortable

- The rest of this challenge, hurtin' for him to stay. - - yep.

I'm startin' to shake with my hand up.
