1
00:00:12,490 --> 00:00:13,890
I'm bear grylls.Whoo!
2
00:00:13,890 --> 00:00:16,690
I'm gonna show youwhat it takes to get out alive
3
00:00:16,690 --> 00:00:20,130
From some of the most dangerous
places on earth.
4
00:00:20,230 --> 00:00:23,330
I've got to make itthrough a week of challenges...
5
00:00:23,330 --> 00:00:26,770
In the sort of placesyou wouldn't last a day
6
00:00:26,770 --> 00:00:29,900
Without the rightsurvival skills.
7
00:00:32,210 --> 00:00:33,110
Okay.
Come on.
8
00:00:33,110 --> 00:00:34,440
Now I'm in the wilds
9
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:36,510
Of new zealand'svolcanic north island...
10
00:00:36,510 --> 00:00:40,350
Man, that's why this place
is so horrible. Look.
11
00:00:40,350 --> 00:00:42,820
...Crossingraging mountain rivers...
12
00:00:42,820 --> 00:00:45,080
This is the bit
you don't want to go in on.
13
00:00:45,090 --> 00:00:49,790
...And battling my way throughdense, steaming forests...
14
00:00:49,790 --> 00:00:50,720
Got to reach the tree!
15
00:00:50,730 --> 00:00:53,930
...Carrying with me little more
than the average tourist...
16
00:00:53,930 --> 00:00:54,490
Ah! Ow!
17
00:00:54,500 --> 00:00:58,830
...I'll turn a busted cellphone
into a potential lifesaver.
18
00:00:58,830 --> 00:01:00,970
Here we go.
19
00:01:06,870 --> 00:01:10,940
I'm in new zealand'svolcanic north island.
20
00:01:10,950 --> 00:01:14,110
The maori have beenin this land for centuries,
21
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:15,820
And it's onlywith their blessing
22
00:01:15,820 --> 00:01:18,420
That I'll be able to traveland gather food
23
00:01:18,420 --> 00:01:21,890
In this extraordinary place.
24
00:01:29,860 --> 00:01:32,230
I just love this country!
25
00:01:32,230 --> 00:01:33,370
And I'm not alone.
26
00:01:33,370 --> 00:01:36,870
Every year, thousands of people
flock to new zealand
27
00:01:36,870 --> 00:01:40,740
For the mountains,
the volcanoes, and the forests.
28
00:01:40,740 --> 00:01:42,780
But be under no illusion.
29
00:01:42,780 --> 00:01:47,050
This place is still very wild.
30
00:01:48,220 --> 00:01:52,420
Every year, tourists end upgetting lost or stranded,
31
00:01:52,420 --> 00:01:55,520
Requiring assistance fromnew zealand's rescue services.
32
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,860
I'm gonna put myself in
the position of a lost tourist
33
00:01:58,860 --> 00:02:00,490
To show you how to survive
34
00:02:00,500 --> 00:02:04,500
When an everyday adventure
goes very wrong.
35
00:02:05,870 --> 00:02:08,200
These jet boats
are incredible --
36
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,600
Very shallow draft
and powerful engines.
37
00:02:11,610 --> 00:02:13,740
And that's how they negotiate
38
00:02:13,740 --> 00:02:16,410
These narrow rivers
and big rapids.
39
00:02:16,410 --> 00:02:19,080
They're used by huntersin new zealand
40
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:23,050
To penetrate deepinto the forest interior.
41
00:02:27,420 --> 00:02:30,060
Okay.
42
00:02:31,930 --> 00:02:34,690
But a 30-foot waterfallis a natural barrier
43
00:02:34,700 --> 00:02:36,900
That even these amazing boatscannot navigate.
44
00:02:36,900 --> 00:02:40,370
That's about as far as
the jet boat's gonna take us.
45
00:02:40,370 --> 00:02:43,440
We're gonna have to bail.
46
00:02:45,070 --> 00:02:46,810
Okay.
47
00:02:46,810 --> 00:02:48,840
I'm good.
48
00:02:53,910 --> 00:02:54,980
[ grunts ]
49
00:02:54,980 --> 00:02:59,220
The powerful current ispushing me away from the rocks.
50
00:03:02,690 --> 00:03:04,620
Okay.
51
00:03:08,700 --> 00:03:12,600
Welcome to new zealand!
52
00:03:13,570 --> 00:03:17,540
A good bet here is to keepon a north-south bearing.
53
00:03:17,540 --> 00:03:18,770
In this part of new zealand,
54
00:03:18,770 --> 00:03:21,010
The largest concentrationsof people
55
00:03:21,010 --> 00:03:22,210
Are in the north of the island.
56
00:03:22,210 --> 00:03:25,310
Get there, and your chancesof finding habitation
57
00:03:25,310 --> 00:03:27,650
Will increase massively.
58
00:03:28,420 --> 00:03:31,280
The simplest wayof establishing your direction
59
00:03:31,290 --> 00:03:32,150
Is to use the sun.
60
00:03:32,150 --> 00:03:35,460
But there's a methodeven on an overcast day.
61
00:03:35,460 --> 00:03:40,130
Look. You just use a knife,
get a twig.
62
00:03:40,130 --> 00:03:42,400
And then just...
63
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,370
Try and find the shadow
of the twig on the knife
64
00:03:45,370 --> 00:03:48,970
And work out where that shadow
is strongest.
65
00:03:48,970 --> 00:03:51,740
You can see
that it's quite weak there.
66
00:03:51,740 --> 00:03:54,270
As we move,
it's getting stronger,
67
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,080
And then it gets weaker again.
68
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,210
That's about
the strongest point,
69
00:03:58,210 --> 00:04:01,010
Which means the sun
is directly over there --
70
00:04:01,020 --> 00:04:04,280
Midday, southern hemisphere,
sun's in the north.
71
00:04:04,290 --> 00:04:06,790
That's the way you want to go.
72
00:04:07,620 --> 00:04:10,290
Your search for foodis continuous.
73
00:04:10,290 --> 00:04:13,490
And if the opportunity arises,grab it.
74
00:04:13,500 --> 00:04:15,260
This is a manuka tree.
75
00:04:15,260 --> 00:04:18,630
You'll often get grubs in these.
76
00:04:18,630 --> 00:04:20,300
Here's another one.
77
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,440
There you go. Look.
See these holes?
78
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:28,940
That's what the grubs will make,
let you know it's a tree weta.
79
00:04:31,610 --> 00:04:33,010
Oh, my goodness.
80
00:04:33,010 --> 00:04:36,150
Look at the size
of that one there.
81
00:04:36,150 --> 00:04:37,020
Try and get him off.
82
00:04:37,020 --> 00:04:41,550
Thing is, they do have these
unbelievably powerful pincers
83
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,320
In their front.
84
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,130
Be careful with this guy.
85
00:04:48,030 --> 00:04:52,030
Look. You can see him
holding on to that.
86
00:04:52,030 --> 00:04:54,530
But, gee, that's mean-looking.
87
00:04:54,540 --> 00:04:59,470
And these guys actually predate
the dinosaurs,
88
00:04:59,470 --> 00:05:01,910
And you can see why.
89
00:05:01,910 --> 00:05:03,410
But fine to eat.
90
00:05:03,410 --> 00:05:07,910
Not quite sure
where to begin on it.
91
00:05:14,150 --> 00:05:15,320
Ow, ow, ow, ow!
92
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,890
He got me there.
Ah! Ow!
93
00:05:17,890 --> 00:05:20,130
Oh. Look.
94
00:05:20,130 --> 00:05:22,330
Ow.
95
00:05:22,330 --> 00:05:24,860
What a brute.
It's actually drawn blood.
96
00:05:24,870 --> 00:05:29,340
Right. Now it's war.
The head's coming off.
97
00:05:33,140 --> 00:05:36,580
And the body...
98
00:05:36,580 --> 00:05:39,350
Is fine to eat.
99
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:43,320
Oh, my goodness.
100
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,720
I've eaten a lot
of bad things before.
101
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,620
Hoo!
102
00:05:48,620 --> 00:05:49,160
[ spits ]
103
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,790
It's gonna be one of those ones
you want to hold your nose
104
00:05:51,790 --> 00:05:55,360
And just get it down
so you don't have to smell it.
105
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,960
Oh, it's rancid.
106
00:05:57,970 --> 00:05:58,760
God.
107
00:05:58,770 --> 00:06:03,040
It smells like it's been alive
since before the dinosaurs.
108
00:06:12,450 --> 00:06:16,380
Some sort of big river
pumping down there.
109
00:06:16,380 --> 00:06:17,520
You can hear it.
110
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,620
Look. This just came out
of nothing.
111
00:06:23,260 --> 00:06:25,320
No knowing how deep that is,
either.
112
00:06:25,330 --> 00:06:28,900
Need to find some way
across this, get down.
113
00:06:33,330 --> 00:06:36,140
Attempting to cross a riverthis powerful
114
00:06:36,140 --> 00:06:37,570
Should not be taken lightly.
115
00:06:37,570 --> 00:06:42,040
New zealand loses over 100people each year to drowning
116
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,940
And has one of the highestannual drowning tolls
117
00:06:44,950 --> 00:06:47,380
In the developed world.
118
00:06:47,380 --> 00:06:50,150
That's gonna be one option.
119
00:06:50,150 --> 00:06:54,490
Of all these tragedies,most occurred in rivers.
120
00:06:54,890 --> 00:06:59,660
Disappears into a whole world
of ugliness down there.
121
00:06:59,660 --> 00:07:02,030
This is probably gonna be
our best bet.
122
00:07:02,030 --> 00:07:06,600
Why I'm always a little bit
nervous of fallen tree trunks --
123
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,370
You don't know how long
they've been here.
124
00:07:09,370 --> 00:07:12,170
You don't know
how rotten they are.
125
00:07:12,170 --> 00:07:13,510
Okay.
126
00:07:13,510 --> 00:07:15,370
This treehas been swept downstream
127
00:07:15,380 --> 00:07:17,040
When the riverwas in full flood
128
00:07:17,050 --> 00:07:19,880
And then rammedonto these rocks.
129
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:21,250
It's a sobering reminder
130
00:07:21,250 --> 00:07:24,250
Of just how powerfulthese rivers can be.
131
00:07:24,250 --> 00:07:27,420
Seems pretty solid, this.
132
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:34,090
You're just not human, though,
if you don't assess it twice.
133
00:07:34,100 --> 00:07:38,760
The consequences
of getting this wrong are big.
134
00:07:41,100 --> 00:07:42,000
It's the best option,
135
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,540
But put a foot wrongand go into those rapids,
136
00:07:45,540 --> 00:07:47,110
You're not coming out.
137
00:07:47,110 --> 00:07:50,440
Quite slippy here.
138
00:07:50,450 --> 00:07:53,850
Probably worth shinning.
139
00:07:53,850 --> 00:07:55,250
White water is treacherous.
140
00:07:55,250 --> 00:07:58,280
The constant churningmakes the water aerated,
141
00:07:58,290 --> 00:08:00,320
And the millions of air bubbles
142
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,860
Means it's much harderto stay afloat.
143
00:08:02,860 --> 00:08:05,260
Combine thatwith powerful currents,
144
00:08:05,260 --> 00:08:07,690
And you've got a fighton your hands.
145
00:08:07,700 --> 00:08:12,970
This is the bit
you don't want to go in on.
146
00:08:16,300 --> 00:08:19,740
You don't hang around on this.
147
00:08:25,050 --> 00:08:28,010
Okay.
Get it going, then.
148
00:08:29,850 --> 00:08:32,420
Come on.
Come to me.
149
00:08:32,420 --> 00:08:34,090
Last bit.
150
00:08:34,090 --> 00:08:36,390
You just don't want to take
any chances
151
00:08:36,390 --> 00:08:38,390
When there's
that much white water
152
00:08:38,390 --> 00:08:40,290
Being driven under a log
like that.
153
00:08:40,300 --> 00:08:44,360
You know,
you'll only get it wrong once.
154
00:08:44,370 --> 00:08:48,570
Okay. Good job.
Let's keep going.
155
00:08:56,110 --> 00:09:00,310
The river edge can bea rich source of food.
156
00:09:01,950 --> 00:09:05,520
Couple of big crayfish in here.
157
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:06,720
Good-sized ones, though.
158
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,690
Okay. Let's try
and get these guys out.
159
00:09:09,690 --> 00:09:10,760
We can eat them later.
160
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,190
Crayfish like thisare best kept alive.
161
00:09:13,190 --> 00:09:15,760
That way, you can ensurethey're fresh
162
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,030
When you come to cook them.
163
00:09:18,030 --> 00:09:20,930
This will do --
just a bit of moss.
164
00:09:23,670 --> 00:09:25,970
Okay.
Let's get them out.
165
00:09:27,270 --> 00:09:29,810
Okay.
There we go.
166
00:09:29,810 --> 00:09:32,710
And then all I need to do...
167
00:09:32,710 --> 00:09:34,850
Wet this moss.
168
00:09:36,420 --> 00:09:39,520
And then I can store them
in that, wrap them up.
169
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,490
Try and get the other one first.
170
00:09:41,490 --> 00:09:43,060
Here we go.
171
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,830
That's gonna be
a good little eat on the way.
172
00:09:47,830 --> 00:09:48,890
Wrap them up in this.
173
00:09:48,900 --> 00:09:52,870
Eating raw crayfishcan be very dangerous.
174
00:09:52,870 --> 00:09:54,970
They can carry a parasitic worm
175
00:09:54,970 --> 00:09:58,770
Which works its way fromyour intestines to your lungs,
176
00:09:58,770 --> 00:10:02,610
Causing fever, chest pains,and extreme fatigue.
177
00:10:02,610 --> 00:10:05,580
So always cook them upbefore eating.
178
00:10:05,580 --> 00:10:06,850
We'll just keep an eye out
179
00:10:06,850 --> 00:10:10,550
For any other little pools
like this we find
180
00:10:10,550 --> 00:10:14,050
As we work our way
along the river.
181
00:10:14,060 --> 00:10:15,790
Okay. Good.
182
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,900
Before maori hunters commencedtheir journeys into the wild,
183
00:10:22,900 --> 00:10:24,600
They would acknowledgethe gods,
184
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,400
Who they believedwould lead them to their prey.
185
00:10:30,670 --> 00:10:34,670
Up ahead lies a formidablevolcanic mountain chain
186
00:10:34,680 --> 00:10:37,310
That must be crossedif you're to maintain
187
00:10:37,310 --> 00:10:39,480
Your north-south bearing.
188
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,380
Man, that's why this place
is so horrible. Look.
189
00:10:42,380 --> 00:10:43,750
Dislodge one thing,
190
00:10:43,750 --> 00:10:47,990
And the whole mountain
starts to slide.
191
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,600
I'm in the wet wildsof new zealand,
192
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,740
Taking on dense forests slashed
with fierce mountain torrents.
193
00:11:03,740 --> 00:11:07,740
This is the bit
you don't want to go in on.
194
00:11:13,650 --> 00:11:15,950
It's out of the forest.
195
00:11:15,950 --> 00:11:19,190
A lot of mountains ahead there.
196
00:11:19,190 --> 00:11:21,790
Okay.
Let's keep moving.
197
00:11:21,790 --> 00:11:23,120
This arid volcanic range
198
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,720
Dominatesthe central north island
199
00:11:25,730 --> 00:11:26,630
And has to be crossed
200
00:11:26,630 --> 00:11:30,530
If you're to stayon your northerly heading.
201
00:11:31,870 --> 00:11:32,970
North island, new zealand,
202
00:11:32,970 --> 00:11:34,870
Is the mostsouthwesterly quadrant
203
00:11:34,870 --> 00:11:36,970
In the vastpacific ring of fire
204
00:11:36,970 --> 00:11:40,570
That stretches from indonesiato hawaii.
205
00:11:46,950 --> 00:11:50,280
It's relatively youngin geological terms,
206
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,550
Only becoming an islandaround 90 million years ago,
207
00:11:53,550 --> 00:11:57,390
And is still on the move today,
constantly reshaping.
208
00:11:57,390 --> 00:12:00,830
It's definitely hard work
at altitude
209
00:12:00,830 --> 00:12:02,960
And also very dehydrating.
210
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,160
You know, you're not only
breathing hard
211
00:12:05,170 --> 00:12:07,530
And therefore losing
a lot of moisture.
212
00:12:07,540 --> 00:12:08,330
You're also peeing more
213
00:12:08,340 --> 00:12:10,970
As you're getting rid
of the extra co2 in your body.
214
00:12:10,970 --> 00:12:14,540
It's like everything's battling
against you --
215
00:12:14,540 --> 00:12:17,410
Expiration, perspiration,
and peeing,
216
00:12:17,410 --> 00:12:20,280
All going out
and nothing going in.
217
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,480
[ breathes deeply ]
218
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,390
The volcanoes hereare still active.
219
00:12:27,390 --> 00:12:31,690
In 2007, mount ruapehu'scrater lake gave way,
220
00:12:31,690 --> 00:12:33,260
Causing a giant mudflow.
221
00:12:33,260 --> 00:12:37,630
Up to 1 1/2 million tonsof mud, ice, and snow
222
00:12:37,630 --> 00:12:41,300
Cascaded downinto the valley below.
223
00:12:45,410 --> 00:12:48,740
Finding water is gonna bea huge priority
224
00:12:48,740 --> 00:12:51,510
In a place like this.
225
00:12:53,150 --> 00:12:57,220
There's a river I can hear.
Look.
226
00:12:58,820 --> 00:13:03,420
Let's try and find a way down
to it.
227
00:13:04,660 --> 00:13:07,160
Even a few hours of exertionat this altitude
228
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,030
Will leave your bodydangerously low on fluids,
229
00:13:10,030 --> 00:13:12,300
Which urgentlyneed replenishing.
230
00:13:12,300 --> 00:13:15,670
Very loose.
Just take it easy down this.
231
00:13:16,770 --> 00:13:18,270
But getting down to the river
232
00:13:18,270 --> 00:13:20,110
Is gonna be easier saidthan done.
233
00:13:20,110 --> 00:13:22,210
The ground is hardand compacted.
234
00:13:22,210 --> 00:13:25,810
And to make things worse.It's covered in loose boulders,
235
00:13:25,810 --> 00:13:27,780
Making any progressdoubly hard.
236
00:13:27,780 --> 00:13:31,880
Man, that's why this place
is so horrible. Look.
237
00:13:31,890 --> 00:13:33,620
Dislodge one thing,
238
00:13:33,620 --> 00:13:36,460
And the whole mountain
starts to slide.
239
00:13:36,460 --> 00:13:39,460
That's just getting
all funneled down,
240
00:13:39,460 --> 00:13:41,830
Like an alley of death
down there.
241
00:13:41,830 --> 00:13:45,600
And that is not the way
we're going.
242
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,670
Really watch our footing
on this.
243
00:13:48,670 --> 00:13:52,640
It's the whole stuff --
it's crumbling.
244
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,740
Let's keep working around it.
245
00:14:09,260 --> 00:14:11,790
Okay. You got to stay close
to me in all of this.
246
00:14:11,790 --> 00:14:14,690
Don't want to be dislodging
stuff on top of each other.
247
00:14:14,700 --> 00:14:21,030
It was much easier trying to
work our way down the shoulder
248
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,000
Than all of that loose face.
249
00:14:24,010 --> 00:14:26,910
You can see there.
250
00:14:26,910 --> 00:14:30,680
That all just leads
to those cliffs.
251
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,750
Actually, you can see
that funnel of death
252
00:14:33,750 --> 00:14:37,320
I was talking about --
boulder alley.
253
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,550
Yeah. That's why
we didn't go down there.
254
00:14:40,550 --> 00:14:43,290
Let's try to pick a line
down this.
255
00:14:47,330 --> 00:14:50,930
It's all cliffs
straight under this.
256
00:14:50,930 --> 00:14:56,940
Trying to work out a way
down the last bit of the river.
257
00:14:56,940 --> 00:14:59,170
Let's try this way.
258
00:14:59,170 --> 00:15:03,280
It's a bit of a gully down here.
259
00:15:05,450 --> 00:15:08,650
Okay, it's good.
260
00:15:10,620 --> 00:15:13,990
[ grunts ]
okay. Let's refill.
261
00:15:13,990 --> 00:15:15,920
[ sniffs ]
262
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,920
I smell sulfur, though.
263
00:15:27,100 --> 00:15:29,370
[ spits ]
264
00:15:29,370 --> 00:15:32,000
Aw, very acidic.
[ spits ]
265
00:15:32,010 --> 00:15:34,970
Makes the lips and tongue
really tingle.
266
00:15:34,980 --> 00:15:39,880
That's the volcano
that's doing that to this water.
267
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:44,950
It just means it's completely
undrinkable for me.
268
00:15:47,250 --> 00:15:51,220
A lot of effort
to get down to this.
269
00:15:51,230 --> 00:15:54,160
But you're not gonna win
them all.
270
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,860
There's no way
we can drink this.
271
00:15:57,870 --> 00:16:00,270
Okay. We need to get out
of the mountains.
272
00:16:00,270 --> 00:16:05,040
Your survival depends on howyou react to disappointments.
273
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:05,640
Horrible.
274
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:07,910
It's so easyto allow your spirits
275
00:16:07,910 --> 00:16:10,010
To become crushed by setbacks.
276
00:16:10,010 --> 00:16:12,180
Okay, let's get moving
faster now.
277
00:16:12,180 --> 00:16:15,710
Everything then becomes aseries of diminishing returns.
278
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,580
And your chances of survivingwill plummet.
279
00:16:18,590 --> 00:16:21,690
You have to rejoicein the small victories
280
00:16:21,690 --> 00:16:24,220
And shrug off the failures.
281
00:16:28,390 --> 00:16:29,390
Leaving the mountain
282
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,000
Doesn't meanthat your challenge is over.
283
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:37,840
And in this volcanic landscape,
danger is never far away.
284
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:53,520
Very steady here.
285
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,790
All of this bank is crumbling.
286
00:16:55,790 --> 00:16:56,890
See that down there?
287
00:16:56,890 --> 00:17:00,760
That water's coming out
at boiling temperature.
288
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:05,200
And boiling water
is very unforgiving.
289
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:06,830
All of this is so spongy.
290
00:17:06,830 --> 00:17:11,270
It's hard to know what's solid
and what's holes.
291
00:17:11,270 --> 00:17:12,570
Like that.
Look.
292
00:17:12,570 --> 00:17:16,180
So careful where you tread.
293
00:17:16,180 --> 00:17:17,740
[ grunts ]
294
00:17:17,750 --> 00:17:21,250
Okay.
We need to jump this bit.
295
00:17:22,420 --> 00:17:23,250
Hot springs are formed
296
00:17:23,250 --> 00:17:26,420
When rainfall permeatesthrough porous volcanic rock
297
00:17:26,420 --> 00:17:28,620
To around 10,000 feet deep.
298
00:17:28,620 --> 00:17:30,720
When it comes into contactwith the magma,
299
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,560
It becomes superheatedto way above boiling point.
300
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,660
This water returnsto the earth's surface
301
00:17:36,660 --> 00:17:39,200
Through a processof convection,
302
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:40,300
And it can be crazy hot.
303
00:17:40,300 --> 00:17:43,970
The calcium-rich water formsa crust of sinter,
304
00:17:43,970 --> 00:17:46,910
Which can concealhidden dangers.
305
00:17:46,910 --> 00:17:49,410
Take this to probe with.
306
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:52,680
[ thudding ]
307
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:54,510
You can hear that.
308
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:55,950
That sounds hollow.
309
00:17:55,950 --> 00:17:58,750
Go through there,
it's just gonna be boiling mud
310
00:17:58,750 --> 00:18:01,420
And sludge and water.
311
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:07,260
We'll not take any chances
with this.
312
00:18:07,260 --> 00:18:11,030
Man, check this bit out.
313
00:18:12,670 --> 00:18:15,330
All of this is boiling.
314
00:18:15,340 --> 00:18:21,010
You go into this,
it's gonna be a very sticky end.
315
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,380
Actually, only a year ago,
somebody fell into one of these,
316
00:18:26,380 --> 00:18:30,050
100% burns,
and died an agonizing death.
317
00:18:30,050 --> 00:18:34,320
Even if just your foot goes
through the crust and the mud,
318
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:38,460
You end up with boiling burns
and blisters on your feet.
319
00:18:38,460 --> 00:18:39,860
It's gonna incapacitate you.
320
00:18:39,860 --> 00:18:43,300
In the wild, that could have
massive consequences.
321
00:18:43,300 --> 00:18:46,270
The boiling water is at leastuseful for one thing.
322
00:18:46,270 --> 00:18:50,800
I can use it to cook up thosecrayfish that I caught earlier.
323
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:51,700
Yeah. Look.
324
00:18:51,710 --> 00:18:54,370
That moss
has preserved them well.
325
00:18:54,380 --> 00:18:55,670
Nice and damp and moist.
326
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:59,180
Okay.
Let's get these guys cooked up.
327
00:19:00,810 --> 00:19:03,280
Seriously hot here.
328
00:19:03,820 --> 00:19:08,120
Well, the easiest way, you know,
is just to use my sock.
329
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:13,830
And in the military,
330
00:19:13,830 --> 00:19:16,700
You get used to
boil-in-the-bag food --
331
00:19:16,700 --> 00:19:20,030
Not necessarily like this,
though.
332
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,140
Let's get them in.
333
00:19:24,570 --> 00:19:25,770
At this temperature,
334
00:19:25,770 --> 00:19:27,570
They'll only needa couple of minutes.
335
00:19:27,570 --> 00:19:33,710
Okay. I reckon
that these should be done.
336
00:19:43,390 --> 00:19:44,520
Look at that.
337
00:19:44,530 --> 00:19:50,530
Out they come,
all nice and pink and cooked.
338
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:55,930
And one sterilized sock,
which is probably a good thing.
339
00:20:02,210 --> 00:20:04,810
Amazing.
340
00:20:06,650 --> 00:20:10,850
A substantial meal like thatwill give you vital energy
341
00:20:10,850 --> 00:20:13,650
And allow you to cover groundfast.
342
00:20:13,650 --> 00:20:14,620
What a spot!
343
00:20:14,620 --> 00:20:17,620
But at some point,you'll need to take a break
344
00:20:17,620 --> 00:20:18,720
And find shelter.
345
00:20:18,730 --> 00:20:21,060
I'm gonna show you how.
346
00:20:29,870 --> 00:20:30,900
I'm going toe-to-toe
347
00:20:30,900 --> 00:20:32,400
In new zealand'srugged north island.
348
00:20:32,410 --> 00:20:35,170
I've traversedits mighty volcanic ranges...
349
00:20:35,180 --> 00:20:38,910
Man, that's why this place
is so horrible. Look.
350
00:20:40,010 --> 00:20:43,480
...And encounteredlethal geothermal pools.
351
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,150
All of this is boiling.
352
00:20:45,150 --> 00:20:47,650
But it's not done with me yet.
353
00:20:47,650 --> 00:20:51,590
Parts of new zealand seeup to 60 feet of rain a year,
354
00:20:51,590 --> 00:20:52,760
Feeding hundreds of rivers.
355
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,660
You won't travel long herebefore you find one.
356
00:20:56,660 --> 00:20:59,600
There's no mistaking
that sound --
357
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,630
White water and a river.
358
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,500
What a spot!
359
00:21:03,500 --> 00:21:06,200
Look. That would make
a perfect place for a camp.
360
00:21:06,210 --> 00:21:08,670
If I can survive,
it's paradise here.
361
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:10,780
Okay.
Let's get across the river.
362
00:21:10,780 --> 00:21:13,610
And there you see,
it's way deep enough.
363
00:21:13,610 --> 00:21:15,510
See straight through that water.
364
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:19,020
Cossack, back scratcher,
and pike.
365
00:21:26,530 --> 00:21:30,430
I've got to swim hard
to get across it, though.
366
00:21:39,370 --> 00:21:41,470
Cold river.
367
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,610
[ breathing heavily ]
368
00:21:43,610 --> 00:21:48,150
Okay. Let's get this kit off,
get warm again.
369
00:21:53,620 --> 00:21:57,090
It's gonna be a great place
just to make camp.
370
00:21:57,090 --> 00:21:58,860
You know,
I'm close to the river,
371
00:21:58,860 --> 00:22:01,190
But up here,
just above the flood line.
372
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,060
I've got shelter from the trees
373
00:22:03,060 --> 00:22:06,930
And lots of resources
to make a camp with as well.
374
00:22:11,340 --> 00:22:13,840
Okay.
Let's get this on...
375
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:15,770
And get into it.
376
00:22:21,810 --> 00:22:22,780
[ sniffs ]
377
00:22:22,780 --> 00:22:25,450
Wow.
Smell that carcass.
378
00:22:25,450 --> 00:22:26,650
Just stinking.
379
00:22:26,650 --> 00:22:29,320
Look at all the flies
all over it.
380
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:33,990
The remains of a rabbit --
just left all the skin and guts.
381
00:22:33,990 --> 00:22:36,600
Yeah.
Nothing on there for me.
382
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,260
After just a couple of hours,
383
00:22:38,270 --> 00:22:41,270
Unrefrigerated meatwill start to grow bacteria
384
00:22:41,270 --> 00:22:44,600
That will make you sick and can
leave you incapacitated.
385
00:22:44,610 --> 00:22:48,870
Out here on your own,that can spell disaster.
386
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,280
If you're in any doubt,leave it.
387
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:53,280
When making camp,
388
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:57,050
Be on the lookoutfor a helping hand from nature.
389
00:22:57,050 --> 00:22:58,380
This is a lancewood tree.
390
00:22:58,390 --> 00:23:01,990
Actually, we might be able
to use this.
391
00:23:04,260 --> 00:23:07,960
Make a bit of a frame...
392
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:09,090
Like a tent.
393
00:23:09,100 --> 00:23:11,830
The good thing about these
trees -- really long fibers,
394
00:23:11,830 --> 00:23:16,400
Which makes it one of the most
flexible trees on the planet.
395
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:21,510
Just need something, then,
to peg that with.
396
00:23:21,510 --> 00:23:23,940
And that would work.
397
00:23:26,350 --> 00:23:29,550
The simplest methodis to use the crook of a branch
398
00:23:29,550 --> 00:23:31,250
In this deadwood.
399
00:23:31,250 --> 00:23:33,020
[ grunting ]
400
00:23:33,020 --> 00:23:34,820
Pin this in, and this is just --
401
00:23:34,820 --> 00:23:36,990
It's called
"dead man's fingers,"
402
00:23:36,990 --> 00:23:40,890
A "v" to hold that in
like a tent peg.
403
00:23:40,890 --> 00:23:42,760
Okay.
404
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,070
Yeah.
This is all flax.
405
00:23:50,070 --> 00:23:54,640
And this is a maori's
prime resource of rope.
406
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,810
All you need to do
is split them,
407
00:23:57,810 --> 00:23:59,440
Get lengths like this,
408
00:23:59,450 --> 00:24:01,650
And you can just
tie those together.
409
00:24:01,650 --> 00:24:03,220
It's gonna be strong.
410
00:24:03,650 --> 00:24:09,220
A simple two-way binding knotis enough to secure the frame.
411
00:24:09,220 --> 00:24:12,060
Always consider the primarypurpose of your shelter,
412
00:24:12,060 --> 00:24:14,060
Even if you don't planto stay long.
413
00:24:14,060 --> 00:24:16,390
Build to your needs,whether it's to keep rain out,
414
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,700
For warmth,or to keep you off the ground.
415
00:24:19,700 --> 00:24:20,800
That's pretty good.
416
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,900
And then it just needs something
417
00:24:23,900 --> 00:24:27,440
To hold the whole thing up
and out.
418
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:31,840
What you need nowis some roofing material.
419
00:24:31,850 --> 00:24:33,510
Oh, I'm excited about this.
420
00:24:33,510 --> 00:24:38,850
It's gonna be a great shelter
when this is finished.
421
00:24:42,050 --> 00:24:43,990
I love a manuka bush.
422
00:24:43,990 --> 00:24:48,730
And these are just ideal
for roofing.
423
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,200
Getting hot.
424
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,770
Let's get some more
of this thatch.
425
00:24:55,770 --> 00:25:00,540
And then the last lot,
just lay the other way.
426
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,580
The thicker it is,
the warmer it'll be,
427
00:25:04,580 --> 00:25:07,180
And the more waterproof
it will be.
428
00:25:07,950 --> 00:25:12,320
The last thing you'll needis a deep underlayer.
429
00:25:13,750 --> 00:25:14,950
Take loads of this dry moss.
430
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,120
You lose most of your body heat
to the ground.
431
00:25:18,130 --> 00:25:20,030
This will help insulate you.
432
00:25:20,030 --> 00:25:21,760
Just peel it off.
433
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:23,960
It's like nature's cushion.
434
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,900
And then look at this --
all old-man's-beard.
435
00:25:27,900 --> 00:25:32,800
Bone dry and perfect for tinder.
436
00:25:35,070 --> 00:25:36,370
Spread this out a bit.
437
00:25:36,380 --> 00:25:40,010
The important bit
that I want to keep warm --
438
00:25:40,010 --> 00:25:43,720
All my core,
the central bit here.
439
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:46,080
Nice.
440
00:25:46,090 --> 00:25:50,490
Shelter built,now to focus on food.
441
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,390
There we go. There was one
coming in over there.
442
00:25:54,390 --> 00:25:56,590
And in the depthsof new zealand's rivers
443
00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:00,030
Lurk some truly huge monsters.
444
00:26:00,030 --> 00:26:01,230
There he is.
445
00:26:01,230 --> 00:26:04,170
He's right under us.
446
00:26:20,620 --> 00:26:23,390
I'm in the heartof new zealand's
447
00:26:23,390 --> 00:26:25,760
Mountainous north island.
448
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:27,730
Heading down.
449
00:26:28,790 --> 00:26:31,060
Now I've made camp,I'm gonna hunt for food,
450
00:26:31,060 --> 00:26:34,130
Using an ancient maorifishing technique.
451
00:26:34,130 --> 00:26:36,770
Okay. Let's get this
down to the river.
452
00:26:36,770 --> 00:26:40,000
And that rotting carcassI found earlier
453
00:26:40,010 --> 00:26:41,610
Will come in handy.
454
00:26:41,610 --> 00:26:46,110
One thing these rivers
are pretty full of is eels.
455
00:26:46,110 --> 00:26:52,550
And a maori way of catching eels
is just using this flax.
456
00:26:52,550 --> 00:26:57,760
Fold it in two,
you take this middle bit...
457
00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:59,490
And just rub it.
458
00:26:59,490 --> 00:27:03,460
And you want to strip it down
to the fibers.
459
00:27:04,130 --> 00:27:08,070
And these are sort of strands
you want, like this.
460
00:27:08,070 --> 00:27:09,970
When the eel bites down
on those --
461
00:27:09,970 --> 00:27:11,800
Because their teeth
face backwards --
462
00:27:11,810 --> 00:27:13,840
They get their teeth
stuck in these strands.
463
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:17,980
To make it stronger, I'm gonnause a three-strand plait.
464
00:27:17,980 --> 00:27:20,810
And, then, the end of it,
you want to smear
465
00:27:20,810 --> 00:27:24,380
With all of these stinking guts.
466
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:31,860
And eels hunt on smell.
467
00:27:31,860 --> 00:27:37,330
And just that
is enough to lure them in.
468
00:27:38,130 --> 00:27:38,630
Okay.
469
00:27:38,630 --> 00:27:42,270
If it's good enough for the
maori, it's good enough for me.
470
00:27:42,270 --> 00:27:44,870
See if this works.
471
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,640
It's gonna be
a pretty good spot here.
472
00:27:52,650 --> 00:27:56,280
A lot of aerated water
running into a deep lagoon
473
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:58,950
And the nice shallows
and overhangs
474
00:27:58,950 --> 00:28:02,220
That the eel's
always gonna like.
475
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:09,690
Just trying to entice
one of them in.
476
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:14,300
There are worse places
I could be sitting right now
477
00:28:14,300 --> 00:28:16,130
Doing a little bit of fishing.
478
00:28:16,140 --> 00:28:18,200
Eels tend to hunt at night,
479
00:28:18,210 --> 00:28:21,540
But they can be lured outin early evening.
480
00:28:21,540 --> 00:28:24,310
There we go. Look. There's one
coming in over there.
481
00:28:24,310 --> 00:28:26,440
They have large naval cavities
482
00:28:26,450 --> 00:28:29,510
And an incredibly adaptedability to smell.
483
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,150
Got a good-sized one.
484
00:28:32,150 --> 00:28:33,750
Right under us.
485
00:28:33,750 --> 00:28:35,120
There he is.
486
00:28:35,120 --> 00:28:36,490
See that?
487
00:28:36,490 --> 00:28:40,190
They're able to sense foodfrom hundreds of yards away.
488
00:28:40,190 --> 00:28:44,160
Try and just entice him
onto the end of this.
489
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,530
But he can smell that.
490
00:28:49,030 --> 00:28:51,900
Come on. There we go.
There we go. There we go.
491
00:28:51,910 --> 00:28:55,270
He's cautious enough not towant to bite straightaway.
492
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,140
Go on.
Get it in your mouth.
493
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:03,780
It's backing off again.
494
00:29:03,780 --> 00:29:06,420
But he's definitely inquisitive.
495
00:29:06,420 --> 00:29:09,650
And if you're patient,he will come back.
496
00:29:09,660 --> 00:29:12,760
Okay.
Here he comes again.
497
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:14,960
See him?
498
00:29:17,460 --> 00:29:20,000
Okay. This is the closest
he's been now.
499
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:21,370
Come on.
500
00:29:21,370 --> 00:29:22,330
There you go.
501
00:29:22,340 --> 00:29:25,570
There you go.
Go on. Take it.
502
00:29:25,570 --> 00:29:26,800
Take it.
503
00:29:26,810 --> 00:29:29,070
Just nibbling at the end.
Look.
504
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,380
Come on.
Get it in.
505
00:29:31,380 --> 00:29:33,280
Have a nibble.
506
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:34,880
I just want to hold it there,
507
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,520
Letting it get
really well attached.
508
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,650
Okay. He's on.
He's on.
509
00:29:39,650 --> 00:29:41,520
We need to him out here.
510
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:45,160
Now he's caught,you've got to act fast.
511
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:45,660
Soaked!
512
00:29:45,660 --> 00:29:48,830
I'll telling you,
he just grabbed that again.
513
00:29:48,830 --> 00:29:51,500
Okay.
Get him into the shallows.
514
00:29:51,500 --> 00:29:54,330
Here we go.
515
00:29:54,330 --> 00:29:56,970
He's got very sharp teeth.
516
00:29:56,970 --> 00:29:59,370
You want to be careful
you don't get bit.
517
00:29:59,370 --> 00:30:00,170
They're also very slippy.
518
00:30:00,170 --> 00:30:03,440
Grab a bit of sand --
straight on their back.
519
00:30:05,540 --> 00:30:07,710
You can see the power in that.
520
00:30:07,710 --> 00:30:09,550
He's trying to wriggle free.
521
00:30:09,550 --> 00:30:14,690
He's almost impossible
to hold on to.
522
00:30:15,750 --> 00:30:21,930
The maori tradition is,
before you kill your prey...
523
00:30:21,930 --> 00:30:23,130
Oh!
524
00:30:23,130 --> 00:30:24,060
...Feel it.
525
00:30:24,060 --> 00:30:26,130
It's just a sign of respect
for it.
526
00:30:26,130 --> 00:30:30,000
It gives you some connection
to its energy.
527
00:30:30,370 --> 00:30:33,910
The eel's tail contains nervesthat control movement.
528
00:30:33,910 --> 00:30:37,280
A quick blow willtemporarily stun the animal.
529
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,550
It's still
trying to wriggle out.
530
00:30:43,820 --> 00:30:45,850
Okay.
That's gonna stun him.
531
00:30:45,850 --> 00:30:47,250
And then he goes limp.
532
00:30:47,250 --> 00:30:51,060
And then I can finish him off.
533
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:00,730
And there we go.
534
00:31:00,730 --> 00:31:02,500
Top picnic.
535
00:31:02,500 --> 00:31:03,070
Whew!
536
00:31:03,070 --> 00:31:04,440
This eel is a great catch,
537
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,370
But you're gonna need tocook it.
538
00:31:06,370 --> 00:31:09,640
And making fire is one ofthe elemental tasks
539
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:11,240
A survivor has to master.
540
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,040
Get the battery out of it.
541
00:31:13,050 --> 00:31:16,110
But even with a bustedeveryday cellphone,
542
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:17,020
It is possible.
543
00:31:17,020 --> 00:31:19,380
And I'm gonna show you how.
544
00:31:19,390 --> 00:31:22,550
Here we go.
545
00:31:28,830 --> 00:31:32,230
I'm in the rugged wildernessof new zealand.
546
00:31:32,230 --> 00:31:34,100
Ow. He got me there.
Ah! Ow!
547
00:31:34,100 --> 00:31:36,970
I've made a shelterand caught food.
548
00:31:36,970 --> 00:31:38,940
And there we go.
549
00:31:38,940 --> 00:31:41,470
Now to cook it.
550
00:31:41,470 --> 00:31:43,810
And for that, I need fire.
551
00:31:43,810 --> 00:31:46,340
Okay. Fire.
552
00:31:46,350 --> 00:31:48,910
Most people
who get lost in the wild
553
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:52,280
Don't have the luxury
of having a fire steel.
554
00:31:52,290 --> 00:31:56,320
You know, most people
routinely carry what?
555
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,220
Cellphone, wallet, keys.
556
00:31:59,230 --> 00:32:01,260
But the cellphone --
557
00:32:01,260 --> 00:32:03,830
Even though it's broken
and waterlogged --
558
00:32:03,830 --> 00:32:06,100
Is actually enough
to start a fire.
559
00:32:06,100 --> 00:32:07,400
Get the battery out of it.
560
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,870
If your cellphone'sstill working, keep it
561
00:32:09,870 --> 00:32:12,670
For if and when you comeinto range of a signal.
562
00:32:12,670 --> 00:32:13,570
Flip the terminal end off.
563
00:32:13,570 --> 00:32:16,240
But if it's busted,it could still help you.
564
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,940
But this should only be usedas a last resort.
565
00:32:18,950 --> 00:32:22,110
Touching the blade of yourknife across the terminals
566
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,980
Short-circuits the battery,creating sparks and heat.
567
00:32:25,990 --> 00:32:27,150
I feel that getting hot.
568
00:32:27,150 --> 00:32:29,050
As soon as I cut into
the battery,
569
00:32:29,060 --> 00:32:32,060
It's gonna expose the lithium
to the oxygen.
570
00:32:32,060 --> 00:32:33,190
And that makes the spark,
571
00:32:33,190 --> 00:32:35,760
Heat, and oxygen
that's gonna create fire.
572
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:37,900
I have the tinder ready.
573
00:32:37,900 --> 00:32:40,930
Okay.
Watch out.
574
00:33:03,090 --> 00:33:05,120
Here we go.
575
00:33:05,130 --> 00:33:06,860
[ hissing ]
576
00:33:08,790 --> 00:33:10,960
Well, that's going!
577
00:33:19,610 --> 00:33:21,070
It's all about priorities.
578
00:33:21,070 --> 00:33:24,180
If you've got a cellphone
that's waterlogged
579
00:33:24,180 --> 00:33:26,410
And not working
and you're freezing cold,
580
00:33:26,410 --> 00:33:31,080
Use that battery to make fire
and save your life.
581
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:32,250
Whew!
582
00:33:32,250 --> 00:33:36,820
Eel would have formed
a huge part of the maori diet.
583
00:33:37,990 --> 00:33:43,060
Lots of meat on this
and lots of energy.
584
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:48,070
Simply cut the eel into stripsalong its flank.
585
00:33:51,370 --> 00:33:56,210
I reckon eel will be done
in about 10 minutes.
586
00:33:56,210 --> 00:33:59,210
There's too much to eatat one go,
587
00:33:59,210 --> 00:34:00,780
So I'm gonna cook some now
588
00:34:00,780 --> 00:34:03,480
And smoke the rest on the fireto eat later.
589
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:07,690
Very simple hot-smoker.
590
00:34:07,690 --> 00:34:10,150
Be carefulnot to place the meat
591
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:12,460
Directly over the flames.
592
00:34:13,890 --> 00:34:15,830
Place it like that.
593
00:34:15,830 --> 00:34:19,130
And that's gonna steadily
dry it out.
594
00:34:19,130 --> 00:34:20,430
That's gonna last much longer,
595
00:34:20,430 --> 00:34:23,800
But all the good fats and
the nutrients are still in it.
596
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:27,140
Okay.
This one should be ready.
597
00:34:36,010 --> 00:34:37,080
Mmm!
598
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:38,620
Nice.
599
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:45,320
Warming, nutritious,
packed full of energy.
600
00:34:45,330 --> 00:34:48,260
A great catch.
601
00:34:49,230 --> 00:34:52,700
But definitely quite tough.
602
00:34:56,600 --> 00:35:01,240
Warming up by the fire is agood time to maintain your kit.
603
00:35:01,240 --> 00:35:02,640
That way, when you move on,
604
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:06,410
You're preparedfor whatever comes your way.
605
00:35:22,390 --> 00:35:25,660
Good discipline before
you leave a camp, normally,
606
00:35:25,670 --> 00:35:27,830
Is to really
put your fire out well.
607
00:35:27,830 --> 00:35:31,170
But if your life's on the line,
stoke it up.
608
00:35:31,170 --> 00:35:34,540
You want to make yourself
as visible as possible
609
00:35:34,540 --> 00:35:40,140
And give search and rescue the
greatest chance of finding you.
610
00:35:42,780 --> 00:35:46,150
The clearer that footprint
of where you've been,
611
00:35:46,150 --> 00:35:50,120
The greater chance they have
of tracking you down.
612
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:51,860
Never leave a fire burning
613
00:35:51,860 --> 00:35:53,720
Unless your lifeis in real danger.
614
00:35:53,730 --> 00:35:56,190
On average,there are 80,000 wildfires
615
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:57,600
In the u.S. Each year,
616
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:00,100
Destroyingup to 2,000 buildings.
617
00:36:00,100 --> 00:36:03,530
And also, I'm just
gonna leave a clear arrow
618
00:36:03,540 --> 00:36:07,870
In the direction
that I'm gonna be traveling.
619
00:36:07,870 --> 00:36:09,070
Leave a clear direction marker
620
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,140
For anyonewho might be looking for you.
621
00:36:11,140 --> 00:36:13,980
Okay. Time to put some miles
under the belt.
622
00:36:13,980 --> 00:36:15,450
Let's go.
623
00:36:15,450 --> 00:36:18,720
But making headwaythrough this environment
624
00:36:18,720 --> 00:36:19,880
Is never gonna be easy.
625
00:36:19,890 --> 00:36:22,950
It throws obstaclesin your path at every turn.
626
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:27,330
My next challenge --a towering waterfall.
627
00:36:27,330 --> 00:36:30,490
Got to reach the tree!
628
00:36:40,870 --> 00:36:43,240
I'm in new zealand'snorth island,
629
00:36:43,240 --> 00:36:48,080
Fighting my way throughits dense, forested heartland.
630
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:56,220
There's way more light coming
through the trees that way...
631
00:36:56,220 --> 00:36:56,890
Than behind us.
632
00:36:56,890 --> 00:37:00,590
That probably indicates
a clearing this way.
633
00:37:00,590 --> 00:37:02,330
Come on.
634
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,000
Look.
Check this out.
635
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,030
It's all pumice stone.
636
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:11,340
Really buoyant rock.
637
00:37:11,340 --> 00:37:15,410
It's not often
you see rocks float. Look.
638
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:19,540
Pretty cool stuff.
639
00:37:19,550 --> 00:37:22,450
Pumice is formedwhen superheated volcanic ash
640
00:37:22,450 --> 00:37:25,580
Spews out during an eruptionand then solidifies
641
00:37:25,590 --> 00:37:29,650
When it comes into contactwith cold air.
642
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:34,130
Whoa!
Some clearing!
643
00:37:36,030 --> 00:37:38,330
Man.
644
00:37:38,330 --> 00:37:38,960
Actually, look.
645
00:37:38,970 --> 00:37:42,000
That looks like a track,
the other side the lake there,
646
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:45,270
Like a forestry track
or something.
647
00:37:46,970 --> 00:37:50,340
Gonna try and get across
this lake and reach that.
648
00:37:50,340 --> 00:37:53,840
Thing is, this is a high one.
649
00:37:53,850 --> 00:37:56,950
That must be 150 feet
down there.
650
00:37:56,950 --> 00:37:58,550
A jump here is no option.
651
00:37:58,550 --> 00:38:02,320
From this height, that watermight as well be concrete.
652
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:04,620
Maybe use some of those vines.
653
00:38:04,620 --> 00:38:08,160
Use those to work my way down
to the bushes.
654
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,560
See, like 30, 40 feet down.
655
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,760
And then climb down
through those.
656
00:38:13,770 --> 00:38:17,700
The longer, flexible fibersof these vines
657
00:38:17,700 --> 00:38:19,640
Make them incredibly strong.
658
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:23,840
And easily capable
of holding my weight.
659
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:26,380
Let's get this back.
660
00:38:27,650 --> 00:38:30,510
I've got enough of them,
and they're long enough.
661
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:33,920
It's just you can't really
wrap these around a tree.
662
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,590
As soon as you start to
bend them too much,
663
00:38:36,590 --> 00:38:37,720
They lose all their strength.
664
00:38:37,720 --> 00:38:40,990
Using flax, I'm gonna makea constrictor knot.
665
00:38:40,990 --> 00:38:42,030
Twist it up a bit.
666
00:38:42,030 --> 00:38:45,760
It's simple, very strong,and once tightened,
667
00:38:45,770 --> 00:38:47,400
Virtually impossible to untie.
668
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:51,140
And that won't budge an inch.
669
00:38:54,870 --> 00:38:57,340
I always work
on the principle --
670
00:38:57,340 --> 00:39:00,210
If your life's on the line,
double up.
671
00:39:00,210 --> 00:39:02,980
You're only gonna
get it wrong once,
672
00:39:02,980 --> 00:39:05,220
And you're better safe
than sorry.
673
00:39:05,220 --> 00:39:10,860
But three is easily gonna be
strong enough to take my weight.
674
00:39:17,460 --> 00:39:20,970
No doubt -- it is quite
a long way down here.
675
00:39:20,970 --> 00:39:25,440
Just got to commit to
the systems you've put in place
676
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:27,470
And then trust them.
677
00:39:27,470 --> 00:39:29,240
If you've done it right,
678
00:39:29,240 --> 00:39:33,640
It shouldn't matter how far down
it is -- it's gonna work.
679
00:39:33,650 --> 00:39:37,450
Of course,
that's easier said than done.
680
00:39:37,450 --> 00:39:39,150
Okay. Come on.
681
00:39:42,450 --> 00:39:45,320
Get a nice, good grip
on these vines.
682
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:50,900
Really wrap the legs,
give you that friction and hold.
683
00:39:50,900 --> 00:39:52,900
The linethat the vines are taking
684
00:39:52,900 --> 00:39:55,130
Is dragging metowards the waterfall,
685
00:39:55,130 --> 00:39:57,540
Where the rocks,constantly soaked,
686
00:39:57,540 --> 00:40:00,470
Are slippery as ice.
687
00:40:04,410 --> 00:40:06,780
Got to keep out of that water...
688
00:40:06,780 --> 00:40:10,150
Because it makes these vines
so slippy.
689
00:40:10,150 --> 00:40:13,680
Trying to redirect this
down this line.
690
00:40:13,690 --> 00:40:15,920
I need to build enough momentum
691
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:19,920
To pendulumacross to the trees.
692
00:40:19,930 --> 00:40:22,760
Got to reach the tree!
693
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:36,070
Got a precarious little perch.
This, on this root.
694
00:40:37,240 --> 00:40:41,880
Problem is,
theses vines are running out,
695
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:44,550
And the next bit is cut in.
696
00:40:44,550 --> 00:40:47,650
It's overhanging. Look.
See that?
697
00:40:47,650 --> 00:40:49,750
Let's try and work our way down
698
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:53,960
To that main cluster of roots
over there.
699
00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:00,730
Let me get my leg up there.
700
00:41:02,500 --> 00:41:04,400
Work out a way down from here.
701
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:05,840
We're out of that vine.
702
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:07,300
But it looks like that root
703
00:41:07,310 --> 00:41:11,310
Clings all the way
through that crack.
704
00:41:12,940 --> 00:41:16,510
Follow that down
to the next level.
705
00:41:25,420 --> 00:41:30,290
This ledge is about as far
as I can downclimb.
706
00:41:30,300 --> 00:41:33,830
It's gonna be a jump from here.
707
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:45,010
Okay.
708
00:41:45,010 --> 00:41:49,010
Time for a bit of swimming
to get across.
709
00:41:55,450 --> 00:41:59,820
Looks pretty darn small
from here, doesn't it?
710
00:41:59,830 --> 00:42:01,560
That waterfall.
711
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:06,400
Didn't feel like that
at the top of it.
712
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:08,370
Guys, get across.
713
00:42:08,370 --> 00:42:11,200
Get onto this track.
714
00:42:13,970 --> 00:42:18,710
It's that point where you spot
what you hope's gonna be the end
715
00:42:18,710 --> 00:42:23,880
And you just get 100%
mission focused on finishing it.
716
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:42,230
Okay. Let's get out
and up this track.
717
00:42:49,610 --> 00:42:51,940
There are some tracks.
718
00:42:51,940 --> 00:42:54,310
This looks like a big truck
of some sort
719
00:42:54,310 --> 00:42:55,910
With a "v" that's pointing
that way,
720
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:59,950
Which means that the direction
of travel is actually that way.
721
00:42:59,950 --> 00:43:03,090
So let's follow them.
722
00:43:03,090 --> 00:43:04,920
Fresh tire marks on a track
723
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:08,160
Will lead you out of the wildto roads and civilization.
724
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:12,000
New zealand is one of the mostbeautiful places on earth,
725
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:13,500
But you should never discount
726
00:43:13,500 --> 00:43:16,330
That many partsof this majestic country
727
00:43:16,340 --> 00:43:17,170
Are still wilderness
728
00:43:17,170 --> 00:43:19,540
And should be treatedwith great respect.
729
00:43:19,540 --> 00:43:23,340
But a little know-how willhelp you make the decisions
730
00:43:23,340 --> 00:43:26,610
To get yourself back home.
