All language subtitles for S0106 Sierra Nevadab

My name is Bear Grylls.

I served in the British Special Forces,

climbed to the summit of Everest

seas, and went through the icy
Arctic.

Now, I'll fall parachute
the mountains of the Sierra Nevada.

Five million climbers,
canoeists and climbers

come here every year

and, each year about two hundred
end up having serious problems.

I'll show you what to do
to survive.

I'm flying over the mountains
that make up the Sierra in California.

645 km of jagged,
dense forests and plains blazing.

I will put
the position of someone lost.

I'll show you how to survive
the hard way.

Alone and without equipment.

Everything I carry is a canteen,
a cup and a flint to make fire.

The film crew
will accompany me on my journey.

To get down there

I jump parachute
the highest mountains.

But jump
an altitude as high

means that the air is thin

ie I fall
much faster than usual.

To reduce the risk
hurt me

I will try to land on water.

I can see from up here
some lakes in the mountains

and that is my goal.

I can see the lake here.

This is where I go.

It will be very tight
jump between these mountains

and there are a lot of turbulence.

Landed in these small lakes.

The water is cold.

Just a few degrees
above 0 degrees.

At this point, was one of the landing
fastest I've ever done.

And I know well the danger
make these jumps in the water.

Only had one before this.

By landing on the slopes
mountains

risked very serious injury.

But landing on water
brought another problem.

At this altitude,
with wet clothes

there is a serious risk of hypothermia.

I have to dry them
soon as possible.

As soon as I can
take this off and dry me

need down.

But what will
the best way to go down?

The slopes of the mountain
are facing east and west.

I have to choose
one of these directions.

I do not want to go east

That would take me
to the heat of the Nevada desert.

So, I go west.

As the sun dry it
I have an opportunity

to guide me here.

A sunny day
like this

a good way of seeing
where is north, south, east and west

is to use the method
shadow with a stick.

I need here
is only one ...

This should serve.

What I have to do is
put it on the floor

which will create a shadow

and then just mark
where does the shadow.

So we
for about 15 minutes

and while the clothes dry
I let the shadow moves

I check the other brand

and this will give me
a line east / west.

It is a very simple
to work from.

I only have six hours
of sunlight.

And at this altitude,
night can be fatal.

It's time to go.

But first I need
collect some water.

The water here looks clean
but does not mean it is pure.

Is stagnant water,
ideal for developing bacteria.

I remember one of
my friends in the army

drinking once a lake
just like this

and ended up
with severe diarrhea and vomiting

for almost a week.
I do not want to risk it.

I fill the flask
but I will not drink it

until you have the opportunity
to boil it later.

At this point,
my makeshift sundial

may have given me
the direction to follow.

I can see that the shadow
has moved.

This was the original brand.
I'll put here one stone.

She stood there in twenty minutes.
So this is a line

reliable but rudimentary
line east / west.

To the west there is
and the Nevada desert to the east.

I do not want to go there
so go to the west.

First, I want to see
which part of this mountain

is easier to descend.

The warm rays of the sun
become unstable snow.

If they have to go through
a slope like this

is important to see
where to put your feet.

It's just that slippery
I have to continue to fall

as soon as possible.

I think I
progressing.

Until I before
this huge cliff.

Is a fall of one hundred meters
there down.

Giving back
can take hours.

It is time that I have not.

The safest thing to do
would try to find

another way.

But now I am also
worried

these clouds
are formed.

These are storm clouds.

We are much more vulnerable
and exposed to storms

and lightning
when we are up here

And now I need
down quickly.

I am in climber.

Therefore,
I'll try to do this

without string
or equipment that can help me.

And that's how it's done.

The secret to descend
such rocks

is to always
friction with the rock

through the feet and
if they can, through the hands.

The goal is not to slip.

The goal is to go
dragging carefully

there down.

When it becomes steeper,
we have to turn your stomach

See how it falls apart.
The edges of the rocks.

And one of the great dangers
is when the top

start getting sand
making it so slippery.

And the other thing is water.

Water in granite
causes it to become treacherous.

If it rains,
I have to leave.

Few years ago
a teenager in Michigan

slipped on wet rock,
like this near here

Fell and broke his ankle.

Yourself unable to move,
spent eleven days in agony

before being rescued
by helicopter.

Many climbers
not so lucky

and people die
these mountains, every year.

One danger
to drop by these rocks

is the presence of all
these horizons misleading

and it is so difficult
see what is safe or not.

We ended up getting a position

we can not
up or down.

There is a considerable amount of risk
doing this type of climbing

and is very easy to hurt
or twisting an ankle

especially slide
by these flat rocks.

But I managed to fall
and reach the tree line.

I know I have to find
water, food and shelter

before dark.

The only question is how.

I am in the mountains of Sierra Nevada
California.

645 km of what is
one of the most rugged land

of North America.

Every year, hundreds of tourists
lost or injured here.

Some of them die.

I'm trying to get away with little more
than the clothes they bring dress.

Probably
already descended about 600 meters.

And one of the fastest ways
to descend a mountain

is following a watercourse.

But I have to be careful.

Many of the rivers in the Sierra
are famous for its waterfalls

and steep canyons.

The current took me
to this larger river

and this is good news for me.

The rivers there are often
as the solution to get out of trouble.

They always end up leading us
up to a village or a road otherwise.

I try to use this
to go along downstream.

This area was once
home to many Native Americans.

I will use some of their
survival techniques

to transform the trunk
a raft.

Soon night will

and this will be the fastest way
for down-river.

When the water
will be heavier

but at least for a while
this will keep me on the surface.

But the main, to build a raft,
my experience

is trying to do a simple thing.

Whenever we try to do
something very complicated

generally
eventually crumble.

But this one
will be safe and simple.

I have five or six of these.
Large and solid

and some to support.

And the idea is to tie it
tight

but first needed
something to tie them.

These vines huge wild
grow for all these banks

and this will be ideal

since it is extremely strong
and very flexible.

And all these climbers
edible.

Even the leaves.

It is a good source of nutrients.

And the way to do this

is so well tucked
these branches, and flexible

fold them, come by,

and bend them a few times.

This is an old technique
Indians

basically
is as interlacing

and what we do
is to get the vine

we turned it once, twist

and got a tip
to wrap around the trunk

then we
again the same thing.

And good to do this

is that there is as
gets wet

all these we twisted
will tighten even

making it even
stronger and more flexible

but also sufficiently
tight to keep the logs together.

Ok It's time
for the first official test on the ground.

They are more or less
grouped.

And now what am I gonna do
is to do the same here

put the latter support,

and, in principle,
I'm ready to go.

These waters are used
for canoeing

but can be fatal.

A single river,
these mountains

lost 234 lives,
the last thirty years.

The river is following
a good speed.

'm Traveling
a much greater distance

what was going
ashore.

For safety
should be down the river

having a quick
ashore.

However, it is easier to say
what to do.

My biggest problem is that
I can not drive the raft.

All I can do is hit the legs
to avoid the larger stones

and without a rudder,
the only thing I can do

is myself.

These shares less deep
are always the worst

since I'm hitting the rocks

and my knees
are already hurting.

I just need to go
deeper waters.

I have been in these waters
almost two miles.

In just half an hour
traveled about 3 miles.

But now
I'm starting to suffer.

It is becoming ...
much cooler in these canyons

now that the sun has set.

In the first twenty minutes
was fun and more or less hot

but now getting
less fun and more cold.

If you take the correntesa,
the chances of leaving are few.

And it's starting to get stronger.

The river is slowly
gaining speed

and each curve,
begin to see the correntesa

and I hope that
hang it here.

These correntesas
seem endless.

And so I step one,
comes immediately after another

and yet another.
And they are becoming worse.

And here come some more.
I'll try to go here.

I do not know how much longer
I get myself.

'm Trying
hold on the raft.

I was thrown out of the raft

and the water is so strong that I
can not climb again.

The water is absolutely freezing
and I'm out of here as soon as possible.

I was thrown from my
improvised raft

as I try to find
the fastest way

to leave the mountains
the Sierra Nevada.

And the water in these correntesas
is frozen.

Well, it seems
I lost my raft

was pushed
to last correntesa.

Confirmations but not bad.

It's almost night.

And I think that scared me
there a bit

... that last part.

And now I'm
quite tired

and very cold.

Can I use this boss here

to make a shelter.

And now I really need
make a fire

and warm up quickly.

Come on. Here.

When shaving my flint
against a stone

I can finally make a fire.

In ten minutes,
light disappeared

and only feels the cold
everywhere

once the sun goes down

and this fire

is my salvation.

This boss here
is all I have now

as under
to spend the night

... well
not very pleasant.

But with the fire
at least I can dry myself.

reheat a little.

Might perhaps
sleep for a few hours.

and some vine leaves
I have nothing to eat.

Tomorrow, I want to see
if I find food.

Are five in the morning
and it dawned on Sierra.

645 miles
sweeping mountain

that travel to California.

I'm going to the west
mountains.

If it were to the east,
would stop in the Nevada desert.

But first,
breakfast.

And as a good English,
like a good hot tea.

I made this one
with some pine needles.

In altitude, the body needs
many more liquid

than at sea level

need to drink
much as possible.

If they are lost,
and where they have something to drink,

can use the needles
pine for water.

Typically
can be dew on the leaves.

The sun rose
less than an hour

but this is already
completely dry.

I'll take some of these
and take some of the water

these needles.

Pine needles
are an excellent source of moisture

retaining a large
amount of water.

They also have high levels
vitamin C.

Surprisingly
8 times more than orange juice.

What I need now,
is something to eat.

I accept what you have.

You may find here
some larvae

or some beetles.

But look.
It's all so rough and dry.

There are no signs of ...

There are no signs of anything here.

Without food, I have to leave
this mountain as you can.

But I need to make sure
be in the right direction.

Have to go down

toward the west.
That's where I go.

It is so important
keep the same direction.

Moreover, recently
a Scout came here

and lost its way and ended
lost to stay here for 2 days.

The Scout,
only 15 years old

was found near here.

Walked for 16 km
glacier with a temperature

before the rescue team
find it.

I know that the sun
born on that side

this morning in the east.
I saw he was born.

I need to go west.
But first I need to go down

where there is more chance
to get food and water.

But my options
will be limited.

I am sure that the food
to find

not be on the menu
any restaurant.

I'm in the mountains
the Sierra Nevada in California

looking for a way
out of here.

And I'm lucky.

A means of transport
once used by natives

come to me.

There are some horses
grazing.

And this is even
a privilege to see.

This is one of the few places
E.U. us where we can see

wild horses.

Are probably
horses that escaped from a ranch.

I do not know to what extent
I can bring me one.

Maybe some who
separate group.

Or to what extent
I can mount it

and go with him through these mountains
This would be excellent.

It's unlikely
but I'll try.

Native Americans
were ties

with willow branches.

There are a lot here
so I'll start making one.

Once you reach the end of this
another beginning

and then shove here
and then join them

and then do another.

Here it is.

When you reach the end
all I have to do

is to grab the tip, wrap around
and tighten it.

Now the big test.

The technique of the Indians
to calm horses

requires sensitivity and patience.

Here it is.

Look. Is now
to look the same to me.

You're reviewing me.

The way to approach

is very slowly, calmly,
kindly

And if I catch some of this herb
Fresh grass.

this will be a thing
familiar to him.

And what I want,
is that it begins to turn

approaches
and feel my smell.

It is certainly curious.

And that will be the key
to approach him.

Come on.

That's right.

That's right.
That's right.

Good boy.

Good boy.

And this is the important part.
The first contact.

Making love in the shoulder.

This is a very little
threatening to a horse.

The part of the head
is very sensitive.

And this was
a good first contact.

I caress it ...
and his muscles responded.

He has not felt
my hand on his body.

Look ...
The tail wagging.

He is still
a little suspicious of me.

Here we go.

That's it. Calmly.

Ok This is a big step
for this horse.

Good boy.
Here we go.

Here we go.

I lost my opportunity.

Should have spent at least
a day to get his confidence

before trying to mount it.

Now that he
is suspicious of me

even take longer.

Not want to wait.
So I will have to depend

of my own feet
to leave.

Something that I have to do
is finding food.

Let's see if I can find
some water snakes.

People generally
afraid of snakes.

They think they are bad
and aggressive.

being a reptile.
But in fact are not.

So are quite timid.

Here we go.

These snakes often secrete
a liquid with smell

to protect them from predators.

But this predator here
is hungry.

Here it is.
Her mouth.

And so get your head out
I can eat the body.

His head is still ...
alive

Good food ....

After lunch

is time to continue
down the mountain.

After 4 hours

feel that had no
progress.

Here is very beautiful
But appearances are deceiving.

If you do not know
what they are doing

This is the place
can kill you.

My priority is to get
food

and will not be easy.

I jumped with a parachute in the mountains
the Sierra Nevada in California

to put myself in position
a lost hiker or mountaineer.

But to survive is essential
find a good shelter

and food to sustain.

Can I cut this stem dry
and use it as part of the support.

Here is one.

Must be about eight feet.
That should do.

I think one is shorter
the other

but should serve.

This is a good place
to build this cabin.

The plan
here has a small slope

but even this will prevent
I roll down the mountain.

It's always good to check
if there is no trace of animals

where you go to sleep,

and also see if
there are red ants.

The last thing is to have
a small clearing on top

in case if there
Rescuers searching

they can see it.

I arrange them in order to leave
a small opening on the side

that will serve as a port.
Will be facing south

to catch the sun from the southwest
the morning

and also
take a little heat.

Now dinner.

And as I'm sick
seek beetles

or find a snake here and there

it's time to look for something
further up the food chain.

I'm cutting this cedar

to create a stick
pitch.

Native Americans
choose cedar

because it is one of the woods
harder

creating the perfect weapon.

When sand it will do so
that the air is fast and lethal.

We are ready
for some training.

At this time, rabbits and squirrels

are not at great
life-threatening.

I'm ready.

I do not know if they can see

but is there a rabbit.

He has not seen me.

And if I can only get closer
a little

I have a chance
to throw him the stick.

Now,
I will cook my dinner.

But first, I show
how to make fire

only a few bits
wood.

If you look at the branches
this shrub

are very long and thin.
And this will help me.

with an otherwise
to fire

I can use later.

'm Shaving
some

wood on the inside
the bark of cedar

I will join the
Hill flammable.

And this is the essential part
to fire.

I want to see if I get
a lot very light and fluffy

and this is what will create
combustion

then that will feed
flame.

But now
This is the crucial part

Attempt is made here
a spark

and all that I use
is this small branch

I took the bush
and this bit of wood

and now this will require
a certain amount of patience.

It will take many
attempts.

Where that leaves the axis
you have to start all over again.

My arms are already on fire.

Burn your ...

To create a combustion
friction has to heat the wood

up to 430 degrees.

And so it begins to appear
smoke

if I keep more
some

and then I will have ...
can see the flame here?

Here we go.
Tobacco.

We put here on this mound.

're Done.
We put it here.

Now prepare the rabbit
to be cooked.

All we have to
do now is ...

since the neck is already broken,

this will be out soon
all at once.

This will be my
first decent meal in days.

But I am concerned
that unwanted guests

may appear
for the barbecue.

This is starting to cook
and is already smell really good.

But I will not be the only
able to smell it.

The black bears here in the area
can smell it

up to 40 km away.

In fact, a friend of mine
once camped here

went to sleep and he had an apple
one of his trouser pockets,

these pants he used
as a cushion.

he awoke in the night
with a black bear tearing

pants under your head
to make it onto the apple.

But eventually get lucky.
But this shows the care

we always have that
prepare and cook food

and, above all, get rid
of all the food that we will not use

before going to sleep.

This seems like it is ready.

I'm sitting here
salivating for this rabbit

Time to prove

It has a taste for meat
same fresh

and having been cooked
this fire

know so well.
As a barbecue.

With the prospect
of a full stomach

the first time in days,
I look around

and appreciate the grandeur
this amazing place

and begin planning the next phase
to leave.

This night
simply beautiful.

Can you see the stars
so clearly.

Can you see
Polaris there.

Not the brightest star
but it is one of the few that is constant.

We can guide
through it, because it moves.

Moreover, since I see
I'll mark it

so that when you wake up
morning

can see the direction
I have to follow.

here is the east, here is the South
and I'm going to ...

... West.

And this trip will take me
to one of the most dangerous

these mountains.

I came to an area of mountains
designated "chaparral".

It is a Spanish name for areas
vegetation hot and arid

where few animals
survive.

And it's a bad place
to stop the water.

This is the most extreme
the western Sierra Nevada.

The area also hosts
poisonous scorpions

and ants that bite.

Although ants
they can make a tasty appetizer.

This is why
We always hold that over his head.

If I put in my tongue ...

... she will bite.

It therefore
one eats the other side.

The hard part is to pick them.

We can see there the abdomen
and we can eat that part.

In fact, it's something sweet

but so is not bad.

It's time to go

After a snack
appetizing ant

I continue.

I walk as much
before it gets too hot.

But this ground hot
has a new threat.

Cobras.

This is also
an ideal breeding ground for snakes.

Rattlesnakes, bull snakes king.
But it is with the snakes

we must be very careful.

Incidentally, this site
is ideal for snakes.

Especially
the strength of the heat

that is very hot
and they seek shade

threading here.
And that is why it is so important

whenever we find
trunks, always look right across

and keep moving.

It seems I have very
ahead.

The day is getting hotter
and I need water.

Five years ago,
a climber alone

lost in these parts.

For nine days, the search team
looked for him in vain.

When finally find

he was
profoundly dehydrated.

But there's a plan
that could have helped.

This type of bush
is ideal.

I will not feed me
much of it

but this is a shrub
of "manzanitas"

which literally means
"little apples".

The natives used
use them a lot like nuts

and everything we do is
chew them

and throw away the stone.

But this here has a lot of vitamin C
and are excellent.

And also make it into juice.
They take a lot of them,

crush them, add water
and put the juice in a basket

up with a great
refreshing drink.

But I'll take
some of these with me.

The shrub also takes advantage
something else.

At this point, I really need
to clean my teeth.

The manzanita bush
was used by native

as a toothbrush.

And that's what I'll do
too.

This shrub
can be extremely useful.

Not much but ...

... is one of the few in this area
who can help me

The mid-afternoon, the sun's heat
is almost unbearable.

You are slowing me down
this merciless terrain.

Until my luck changes.

Look. Look.
Fast.

This is amazing.

It is a huge lake.

And I really need water.

My canteen is empty
some time

and this is simply
what I was looking for

Now I can simply
drink and freshen up.

This is so good.

That's not all.

At the other end of the lake
I see a road.

If I get through
this lake in any way

that road will be
my passport out of here.

The lake has an extension
a kilometer

and if they
swim this distance

I will show you how to use the pants
to keep you on the surface.

All you have to do
is to grab at the legs

and make a knot.
I used to do this

lots of times when I was a kid
to cross rivers.

What we do
is to tie these knots to hold the air

and then, when the water
will act as a lifejacket.

But it is further
than I was expecting

and the water is getting
increasingly cold.

Soon after,
I encounter another problem.

My vest improvised
not so reliable.

There is only one thing to do.

Try filling it with air
as I try to deal with water.

But is not that easy.

Finally
get through.

This was a trip
just extraordinary to me.

Just for all the different
environments that I had to face.

Since being at an altitude
high, with snow

to be under
a scorching heat.

The amount of times
I had to get used

and all techniques
I had to use to survive.

And the techniques of Native
proved so useful to me

which shows how
self-sufficient they had to be

to survive in this type
landscape.

But for me ...

... is more than time
to go home.

It was difficult.

But I leave this place
with great respect

by Native Americans

and its extraordinary
survivability.
