MAN: The South Island of New Zealand,
it's an epic place.

00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:32,840
It's wet...
3
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:35,880
..it's cold...
4
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:39,080
..it's snowy.
5
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,720
If you don't respect
the environment here,
6
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:44,840
it will slap you hard.
7
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,000
WOMAN: I just need
to bring some food in.
8
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,760
MAN 2: Ooh.
9
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:51,520
(GROANS) It's a male.
10
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,200
MAN 3: Look at that stonker!
(LAUGHS WITH RELIEF)
11
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,160
Last night was pretty intense.
12
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:57,600
There was deer all around me.
13
00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,200
That's freaking delicious.
14
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,840
WOMAN 2: I know how tough
it's going to be.
15
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,640
Terrible wail of doom.
16
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:13,360
You've got to feel safe,
otherwise you'd just die out here.
17
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,240
Oh, my God, I miss them!
18
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,360
It doesn't feel as bad as it looks,
it feels worse.
19
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:20,880
Oh!
20
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:22,520
This shit just got real.
21
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,240
Jesus!
22
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,160
I'm scared enough to have
an emergency tap-out in my hand.
23
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:32,120
And the last person standing,
they take home $250,000.

in my chest.
26

28
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,360
We need to talk about a chopper.

(WINCES WITH PAIN)
30
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,200
Things just got real.
31
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:55,480
There's a real beauty here,
32
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,800
but there's also
a real element of danger.
33
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,000
So, long, farewell and amen.
34
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,520
We're now allowed to hunt
with bow and arrow.
35
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,560
It's something I'm comfortable with.

WOMAN: Everything is
just soaked through and sodden.
37
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,440
I can hear something.
38
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,720
I haven't eaten meat
for about eight years.
39
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:12,600
At what point do I switch from -
40
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,120
"This is so beautiful"
41
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,720
to "I'm so hungry"?
42
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,160
I've got deer track.
And they're fresh. I'm not alone.
43
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:20,600
Jesus, there's some weight in that.
44
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:25,680
I'm willing to push myself
to my ultimate limits to win.

coming out to you.

How are you going?
53
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:36,480
I'm scared actually.
54
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,800
Yeah. Yeah.
I could tell on the phone.
55
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,600
So, what time -
what time did it start?
56
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,040
About six o'clock.
Six o'clock.
57
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:44,640
So, it's going on and off
for about four hours?
58
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:45,840
Yeah. Yeah.
59
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:47,840
And did you say it's worse
when you're lying down?
60
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:49,680
Yeah. It just goes bang.
61
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,680
Hits me right in the chest.
Yeah. Really, really sore.
62
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,640
Um, I think what I would
like to do, if you don't mind,
63
00:03:58,640 --> 00:03:59,840
just check your numbers.
64
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:01,680
Um...
Yeah, sure.
65
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,240
You're not on any medication,
are you?
66
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,360
No, none at all.
Yeah.
67
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,680
So, I'll just check
your blood pressure there.
68
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,800
It just come really intensely.
69
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,880
Um, so I think what we need to do,
Michael, is
70
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:30,400
get you checked out properly.
71
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,320
Um, because you will need
to have an ECG.
72
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:34,320
Yeah.
73
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,560
But to do that, it's
probably easiest to do on the boat.
74
00:04:45,280 --> 00:04:48,280
Are you OK
with help to get onto the boat?
75
00:04:48,280 --> 00:04:50,600
Yeah.
You want to come with me?

So, if you want to lean back
onto that back there again,
79
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,000
so you don't have to be
completely flat.
80
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,040
Is it worse when you move
your arms around or...?
81
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,040
No, it's not. It's not.
82
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,680
It's just deeper.
83
00:05:36,840 --> 00:05:39,160

60.

00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:52,280
Yeah.

Yeah.
88
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,920
It'd be a pretty scary experience.
89
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:00,640
Yeah.
90
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,320
At my age, whenever you think
about chest pain,
91
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:10,800
you can't help but think
there could be something drastic.
92
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,080
What is my limit?
93
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:17,280
Have I reached my limit?
Perhaps that's why I made the call.
94
00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:19,760
Just going to take this off,
95
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,040
and then you can
put your shirt back on.
96
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,760
So, that looks pretty good to me.
97
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,200
Good?
Yeah.
98
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,440

just to make sure.

00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,840
Yeah, we might just go. Yep.

it was something I wanted to do.

would've been the world of difference

00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,320

day three,

I think I can feel a bowel motion
coming on.

You didn't want to hear that.
Too much information!
120

Nothing's been stirring,
121
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,520
but this morning, it's going,
"Hey...
122

"..it's about time."
123
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,280
If, when I go to the toilet,
124
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,440
you probably wonder
about toilet paper.
125
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,880
This old man's beard,
126
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,960
not this beard, this one.
127
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,280
That, handful of that,
128
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,600
like Sorbent four-ply.
129
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:01,000
Let's find something
a little bit more, um, moist.
130
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,760
This one's a bit more scratchy.
131
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,760
Got to be kind to the old butt.
I think I'll go old man's beard.
132
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:22,240
Today, I'm going to modify
my current sleeping situation.
133
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:26,280
It won't be nothing too fancy,
but I want to get in there
134
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,160
and change the bedding system.
135
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,080
Whilst it might not seem a priority,
it sort of is.
136
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,160
If, uh, my sleep deteriorates
137
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:38,080
or I get a whole wet backside
from bad weather coming in,
138
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,440
then that can play
with the head space.
139
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,800
And I don't want nothing in there
playing around.
140
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,520
There was a very slight decline
this way,
141
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,800
which doesn't have me necessarily
rolling down the hill,
142
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,240
but you're aware of it
when you're sleeping.
143
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,600
So, with my log,
144
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,080
I intend to lay it as a retainer...
145
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,280
Trying to recess this in a bit.
146
00:10:04,680 --> 00:10:07,800
..and then build all this area up
with more debris
147
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,440
so that it gets me up off the ground
that little bit more.
148
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,640
Once I get some insulation
of those leaves
149
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,800
back over the top of this,
I think we'll be laughing.
150
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,640
With my skill sets as a bushcraft
and survival instructor,
151
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,720
I feel I'm very prepared.
152
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:34,600
I've recently taken
153
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,640
to the social media platform
of TikTok
154
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,840
to share my survival
and bushcraft knowledge...
155
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,400
..with the followers
that I lovingly call bush-tokkers.
156
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:45,480
G'day, bush-tokkers.
157
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:46,640
Yeah. G'day, bush-tokkers.
158
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,160
Don't start chewing away on plants
or berries and seeds and things
159
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:51,880
unless you're absolutely sure.
160
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,720
There's some plants in Australia
that are pretty unforgiving,
161
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,360
and you'll end up in a hurt locker
or with diarrhoea or vomiting.
162
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,040
We just had a cricket jump
into the camp fire.
163
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:06,920
So, that's pretty secure there.
164
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,240
If it does move, I'll just drive in
a couple of stakes,
165
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:10,880
which I may do anyway,
166
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,200
just to ensure it doesn't shift
during the night.
167
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:18,200
My secret weapon will be
my life skills.
168
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,760
Out here,
you need to improvise, overcome,
169
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,160
adapt, use whatever's around you
170
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,840
to achieve
what it is you're trying to do.
171
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,720
This will definitely protect me
172
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,400
from any moisture
that may be coming up.
173
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:35,040
The reason I'm taking on
this challenge is for the experience
174
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,680
and to push myself
as far as I can be pushed.
175
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:44,120
I believe I have what it takes
to be here at the end of the series.
176
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:48,800
OK, so, that's task complete.
177
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,040
One bed modified.
178
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:52,800
It's GSD day...
179
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:55,800
..Get Shit Done.
180
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,520
Underwear, good size.
181
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,040
I'm going to make a makeshift bag.
182
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:28,520
So I can fill it up with berries
and whatever I can find eating.
183
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:32,080
So, at least I have something
in my stomach tonight.
184
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:35,960
Let's finish this off
with a reef knot,
185
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:37,520
and then it should be good.
186
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:41,480
There you go...
187
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:44,600
..got a bag.
188
00:12:48,560 --> 00:12:51,840
I'm a personal trainer by trade,
189
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:53,200
model by occupation...
190
00:12:57,560 --> 00:12:59,600
..hunter and gatherer at heart.
191
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:06,760
Alright, so this is my meat freezer,
where I'll keep wild meat.
192
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,280
This is some pork.
193
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:09,960
So, two roasts,
194
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,240
and this is some goat.
195
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:16,120
We'll come home,
break out whatever we've caught,
196
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,320
I butcher it, date it,
197
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,520
vacuum seal it,
put it in the freezer.
198
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,200
I class myself as an ethical hunter.
199
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,360
I want to get a good shot.
200
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,200
I want to respect the animal.
201
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,120
That's right.
202
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,440
And I get to take that resource
and use it.
203
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:33,640
Back up, buddy.
204
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,520
I get meat, I get everything else,
205
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,480
I'll try to utilise as much as I can.
206
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:44,360
So, I'll take a hike now and then,
try to make use for it, learn.
207
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,400
I was born in Sweden.
208
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,440
My mum worked as a butcher.
209
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,000
You know, she'd buy a half a pig
or something,
210
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,120
cut it up,
put it in a deep freezer.
211
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,600
But hunting is something
I took up later in life.
212
00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:02,080
So, I'm well and truly capable
of feeding myself in the bush.
213
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,000
I gained a lot of weight
for the show.
214
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,520
Probably carrying an excess
of 15 kilos more than I normally do.
215
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,400
I can win. I can do this.
I can win it.
216
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,000
I think I have the skills to do it.
217
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,920
But mother nature always has
a big finger in the game.
218
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,920
I've got my bows and arrows
all set up,
219
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:31,000
and I'm going to walk,
see what my land has to offer.
220
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,400
Food's going to be a priority
in the first couple of days.
221
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,560
Just got to slow down
the weight loss as much as I can.
222
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,680
And to do that, I need to eat.
223
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:46,840
Massive trees down.
224
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,280
This looks swampy.
225
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,160
(GROANS)
226
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:00,360
That was a slight slip.
227
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,360
(WHISPERS)
This is freaking ridiculous.
228
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,080
You have no idea how dense this is.
229
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:17,880
Most of the forests look like this.
230
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:25,760
(REGULAR VOLUME) To be able to hunt
with a bow and arrow,
231
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:27,800
you need to be able to read animals.
232
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,840
You need to be able
to be stealthy enough
233
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:34,840
to sneak up on them and get
close enough to get the shot.
234
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,520
Animals are far superior to humans.
235
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,840
They see better than us,
they hear better than us,
236
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,240
they have better senses.
237
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:47,200
I need to find out what's actually
in the forest before I...
238
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:48,200
Hey.
239
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:50,880
This is a good find.
240
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,320
(WHISPERS) That look
like a red deer scat to me.
241
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,520
That means there's a red deer
in this area.
242
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,840
It's fresh and big.
243
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,240
That would feed me for three months.
244
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,240
My motivation's gone up.
245
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,240
There's actually
something to eat here.
246
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,560
It's hard to move quietly.
247
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,920
One set of hoof prints.
Looks like a deer.
248
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:30,880
I saw something between the trees.
249
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,240
(WHISPERS) I thought I saw something
between the trees.
250
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,120
(TWIGS BREAKING)
251
00:17:09,120 --> 00:17:11,760
I can hear something in front of me.
252
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:13,720
(LEAVES RUSTLE, TWIGS BREAK)
253
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,640
There's definitely something
big enough to snap a couple of twigs.
254
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:29,760
(MIMICS FAWN)
255
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:37,800
(MIMICS FAWN)
256
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,600
(WHISPERS)
That was the first animal I heard...
257
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,400
..but he walked off.
258
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,520
(REGULAR VOLUME)
We're hunting for deer.
259
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,120
It's just a lot harder
than I thought.
260
00:18:09,120 --> 00:18:11,160
Like, everything is dense.
261
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,440
And the bush is dense as.
262
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:17,720
I did a big stalk.
263
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,480
Did a big bush bash.
264
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,960
I haven't had the best of luck,
have I?
265
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,000
You know what,
I'm going to get some berries.
266
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,280
I know I said this was hunting,
but...
267
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:32,680
..we've got to have some dinner.
268
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,840
They look a little bit
like tree tomatoes, actually.
269
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,600
I wonder if you boil a soup of them.
270
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,120
Oh, I've found a tree fern.
271
00:18:53,120 --> 00:18:56,600
Oh, something more to eat.
This is good.
272
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:00,960
I'll take one leaf...
273
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,400
..try to cook it up, and we'll see.
274
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:09,560
Into my forager bag.
275
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,680
I actually walked further
than I thought.
276
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:23,760
Uh, I want to be back in good time
to make fire and eat my berries.
277
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,280
Who is that handsome devil? Hmm...
278
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,080
Huh.
279
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:52,000
(HUMS TO SELF)
280
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,240
Alright.
281
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:06,840
(GROANS)
282
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,560
We haven't had rain yet,
but in a place that gets,
283
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,240
like, seven metres of rain
annually...
284
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:24,600
..chances are
it's definitely coming,
285
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,040
and it'll be coming hard.
286
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,200
(HUMS TO SELF)
287
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:33,400
So, might start work
on the permanent shelter.
288
00:20:36,120 --> 00:20:38,600
In order to be able to survive
in the wilderness,
289
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,840
building the shelter is essential.
290
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,480
I need to be prepared
for the roaring winds,
291
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,640
sub-zero temperatures, snow.
292
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:58,360
My name's Krzysztof,
this is my place.
293
00:20:58,360 --> 00:21:01,240
I've been living here since 2010,
294
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,880
and I've been slowly trying
to turn this
295
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:05,720
into my little slice of paradise.
296
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,760
I do pretty much everything
around the house myself.
297
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:12,280
I'll fix things.
298
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,880
I've built a rock wall,
built a smokehouse.
299
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,080
I'm definitely a jack of all trades.
300
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,560
Ever since I was in nappies
growing up,
301
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,760
I'd be out camping with the family,
302
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,120
and that's been something
that I've been doing my entire life.
303
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:28,720
I can hunt, I can fish.
304
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:32,280
I'm an aquaculturalist.
305
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:37,640
So, I've got a pretty strong grasp
of fish and what fish do.
306
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,640
Gotta eat your greens!
307
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,480
How they feed,
how they like to school.
308
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,560
Fishing line, some paracord.
309
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,720
Stubborn is the word.
310
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,160
If I dig my heels in,
I dig my heels in.
311
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,480
Well, guys, this is it.
312
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,280
I'm targeting 100 days,
313
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,600
and if I get to 100,
I can just keep going.
314
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,440
Bye, baby.
Bye, baby.
315
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,600
Erin, my partner is
super supportive.
316
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,920
She is 100% behind me.
317
00:22:09,360 --> 00:22:13,080
I'm incredibly confident.
This competition was built for me.
318
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:14,400
I'm here to win.
319
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,400
So, to build this shelter,
I've decided to start
320
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,080
with just the basic A-frame.
321
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,120
I was thinking about how I'm going
to join these two pieces together,
322
00:22:28,120 --> 00:22:30,520
because they're going
to come in like this,
323
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:31,840
but I don't want them...
324
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:33,200
I don't want them like this.
325
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:34,520
I want them like this.
326
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:39,200
So, what I figure is
I'll cut a little groove in this one
327
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:40,920
and, uh,
328
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,040
a little, um, notch in this one,
329
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:44,560
so you can basically go...
330
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,280
..like that.
331
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:55,320
If I want to make something,
I'll generally build it first
332
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,200
in my head.
333
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,560
Our hammer.
334
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,560
I'll improvise things
where I need to,
335
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,560
I'll adapt where I need to,
and then I'll overcome the problems.
336
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:10,880
That's one side.
337
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,680
So, I've seen a lot of pictures,
338
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,440
I've read a lot of information
about different shelters
339
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,040
and how they're built.
340
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:19,720
Beautiful.
341
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:24,880
And this has been, like,
the first real opportunity to do it.
342
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:26,920
Like it was made for it!
343
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,720
Start the waterproofing part.
344
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,120
Once we get a good base layer going,
345
00:23:34,120 --> 00:23:38,040
we'll just cover it with leaf matter
and rinse and repeat.
346
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,400
So, I've decided,
rather than using moss,
347
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,600
I'm just going to use
all this detritus that's down here.
348
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,640
It's perfect for the chinking.
349
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:52,040
And that'll prevent any wind
sweeping through the shelter.
350
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,200
I'll feel good
once it's, sort of, enclosed.
351
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:58,720
I want to be comfortable,
352
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,800
and I feel that being comfortable
is the key to winning.
353
00:24:03,120 --> 00:24:05,200
When the weather goes to crap,
354
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,800
I've got somewhere to hide out,
keep warm.
355
00:24:10,120 --> 00:24:11,280
Beautiful!
356
00:24:30,120 --> 00:24:33,000
Already that sun's dropped
357
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:34,760
behind the clouds,
358
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:36,280
behind the mountain over there...
359
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,760
..and it's freezing already.
360
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,000
This is what I shredded up
this morning and laid out
361
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,680
on the rocks in the sun to dry.
362
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:54,920
I can use that for my fire tonight.
363
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,280
It's definitely an adventure.
364
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,560
And my mum used to always say,
365
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,480
"Live life to the fullest
and do what makes you happy."
366
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,320
I miss her so much.
367
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,440
Family is everything.
368
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,320
Can I have a big cuddle? Mmm...
369
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,840
Rob, from season one
is my other half.
370
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:25,640
We've made
a beautiful family together.
371
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,720
So much fun!
372
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:31,680
We've got our big boy, Kobe,
our little girl, Karali.
373
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,880
The ultimate goal is
to win the money
374
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:41,040
to buy Rob, Kobe and Karali
a little bit of land.
375
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,280
Ooh...
376
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:51,920
It's very bright.
377
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,080
I have to have a fire.
378
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:07,120
Fire is very important
to Aboriginal people.
379
00:26:07,120 --> 00:26:12,120
Like, you have a fire to cook with,
to boil your water,
380
00:26:12,120 --> 00:26:16,280
but the smoke from a fire
is also protection.
381
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,760
Fire makes you feel safe.
382
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:29,560
Imagine going camping or being stuck
in the bush and not having a fire.
383
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,840
Smoke keeps those sand flies
away as well.
384
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:34,400
So, that's a good thing.
385
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,160
Just thinking about a poem...
386
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,720
..we used to recite every morning...
387
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,000
..when I went
to Worawa Aboriginal College.
388
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:02,880
It was written by the founder
of the school, Hyllus Maris.
389
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,640
I'm a child of the Dreamtime people
390
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:14,240
Part of this land
Like the gnarled gumtree
391
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,360
I awakened here
When the earth was new
392
00:27:17,360 --> 00:27:20,200
There was emu, wombat, kangaroo
393
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,080
No other man of a different hue
394
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:26,480
I am this land and this land is me
395
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,320
I am Australia.
396
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,880
I always thought
that was such a beautiful poem.
397
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,520
I really miss my family.
398
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,480
I know they'd be at home
and they'd have a lovely fire going
399
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,320
in the back as well.
400
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,600
Probably thinking about me
401
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:13,440
Being away from my family,
like, that's not normal for mob.
402
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,840
We do everything together,
everybody has a role to play.
403
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:24,280
And being here alone,
you've got to do it all by yourself.
404
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,600
Those berries
I found and picked today,
405
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,280
I chucked them in some water
406
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,520
and then one little stalk
of the tree fern.
407
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,560
Just want to see
how it turns out boiling.
408
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,120
It's a bit of a soup...
409
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,720
..but it looks horrendous.
410
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:11,120
I don't know if you can see,
411
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,360
it's just leaves and a...
412
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,640
..brown, yellow...
413
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:20,400
..juice smell.
414
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:27,240
We'll try this fern first.
415
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:32,120
Oh, juicy.
416
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,560
But it's severely fibrous.
417
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,800
Can't eat stalk anyway.
418
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:53,200
That is what comes out of it.
419
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,080
It's basically like sawdust.
420
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:57,760
Let's try what
the juice tastes like.
421
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,040
Can I get it down? Sure.
422
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:10,440
Oh.
423
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:15,480
Oh.
424
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,400
Can't survive on berries
for very long.
425
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:33,280
For me to be able
to stay here long-term,
426
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,680
I'll have to be successful
at hunting and fishing.
427
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,880
I gotta get my shit together
and find some protein.
428
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,640
Alright, that's it for tonight.
429
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:53,800
Goodnight.
430
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,600
Alone Australia, powered by Kia.
431
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,400
It's the ultimate
human endurance challenge.
432
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,760
The battle is on to survive alone in
the rugged New Zealand wilderness
433
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:17,880
with the winner taking home
a prize worth $250,000.
434
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:56,640
At this little spot,
I don't get any sun here
435
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:58,800
and it's beautiful here,
436
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:02,320
but it's freaking freezing
and it's wet.
437
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,720
I've seen nothing here...
438
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,520
Like, every time I check water
439
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,640
and I just see, I don't see much
here at all.
440
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,920
Where there's sun,
there's more birds,
441
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:22,680
there's more worms in the ground.
442
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:24,800
There's more plant food.
443
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:26,680
Yes.
444
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:36,200
So, I've chosen a new location
to build my permanent shelter.
445
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,080
I'm going to take a chance
446
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:42,600
and I'm gonna move to the sun.
447
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:44,880
But there's a bit of a hike.
448
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:48,640
I don't know if...
It wouldn't be a K away.
449
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:55,400
It's probably as a crow flies,
400 metres, 500, 600 metres.
450
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:56,800
I've got no idea.
451
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,320
Just prep yourself
and hump that gear over.
452
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:03,760
Alright, that's me.
453
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:10,120
Oh.
454
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,840
It's a big amount of energy
to move.
455
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:21,600
And my problem is food, lack of.
456
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,560
'Cause energy out here
is everything.
457
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,680
I'm actually excited
to go over there.
458
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:48,000
Oh, imagine spending the day
in the sun building shelter.
459
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:49,480
Oh, God, I could dry my underpants.
460
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:53,120
I could just dry them,
I reckon, in, like, a day.
461
00:33:56,520 --> 00:34:00,640
I know it will be so good.
It's worth it.
462
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:11,080
You're just so tired.
463
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:14,960
You've got to constantly
be making sure
464
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:16,720
what you're doing's safe.
465
00:34:16,720 --> 00:34:20,200
Now be careful. Slow down here.
466
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:25,160
Oh.
467
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:28,280
You're kind of in a little
bit of a blur, you know,
468
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:35,000
and the simplest of things
just sometimes it's not so simple.
469
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,640
That freaking hurt.
470
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:44,880
(WHISPERS) Take a breath.
471
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,280
Any slower, I wouldn't be moving.
472
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:56,720
I feel like I'm running
a slow, painful marathon.
473
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:06,240
Oh, I have arrived.
474
00:35:06,240 --> 00:35:10,120
The relief!
475
00:35:18,720 --> 00:35:22,200
Just look at this sunlight
over here.
476
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:25,920
It was just such
a big effort today.
477
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:29,120
Oh, and I am just incredibly
exhausted.
478
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,480
I'm so happy, though.
479
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:35,600
Hello, beautiful thing.
480
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:42,920
So relieved to be here.
481
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:47,320
But I'm not out of the woods yet.
482
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:50,720
I need to build a shelter.
483
00:35:50,720 --> 00:35:54,120
I need to build a bed and I need
to do it before nightfall.
484
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:16,080
(FIRE CRACKLING)
485
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:22,880
(SIGHS)
486
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,240
Well, getting a little bit hungry.
487
00:36:28,240 --> 00:36:31,800
But I want to go chase
one of these bloody stags down.
488
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,360
I know they've pissed off
back up the hills...
489
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:39,360
..so I'm probably gonna have
to bust my ass
490
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,280
getting up that mountain
behind me here.
491
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:44,320
You need to have a lot of energy
before you go out
492
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:47,520
and spend such a huge amount
on hunting.
493
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:51,440
So, I'm just gonna try fishing today
494
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:55,480
because it's a good way to get,
you know, good food.
495
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,680
I am a very confident hunter.
496
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,680
It is what I am good at.
497
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,320
But my biggest strength
is my adaptability.
498
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:15,160
Need to catch some fish.
499
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:16,720
Need to catch some food.
500
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:24,880
We've got four lines out now -
that'll do.
501
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:28,320
More lines,
more chance to catch fish.
502
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:39,120
We'll just sit here for the day,
503
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:42,320
keep an eye on 'em
504
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:47,440
and spend the day on the beach.
505
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,280
Wait for a fish to bite, I guess.
506
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:57,960
Not much else to do today.
507
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:06,960
There we go.
508
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:08,640
I just got something on this line.
509
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:12,920
Alright, brother.
510
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:17,600
Come on, now, let's be a fish.
511
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,040
It is a biggie.
512
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,240
He's doing a death roll on me.
513
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:28,240
Come on, now, my brother.
514
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:33,640
Um, I think it's a big eel.
515
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:35,640
That really sucked.
516
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:37,720
Come on.
517
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:43,760
Oh, you silly bugger.
518
00:38:44,720 --> 00:38:46,360
What did you do that for?
519
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:51,720
It's alright.
I'm not gonna hurt ya.
520
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:54,600
You're too slippery
to get a hold of.
521
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,680
It's a shame we can't eat 'em.
522
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:03,440
There's a lot of food right there
just to be letting go like that.
523
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:04,920
Come on.
524
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:09,720
Ah, he's got my hook.
525
00:39:09,720 --> 00:39:11,120
Oh, that's proper in his gullet.
526
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:16,280
Ah, well, I'll have to just
cut it out.
527
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:18,120
It's a loss of a hook, anyway.
528
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:20,200
Come on, here, mate.
You'll be alright.
529
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:22,760
Yeah. Stop moving.
530
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,200
There you are.
531
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:30,560
(SIGHS DEEPLY)
532
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:33,120
Yeah, it's a shame.
533
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:36,640
It's a real shame.
534
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:48,920
A long day on that beach.
535
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,680
I like fishing and all,
536
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:56,000
but not when it's like
a chore like that.
537
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,560
I'm so bored
to look at them bobbers,
538
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:00,920
hoping that a fish takes it.
539
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:05,040
But I will give it another crack.
540
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:07,840
It's not the end of my fishing
endeavours here.
541
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:09,640
See what tomorrow brings me.
542
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:31,280
This stick's pretty heavy so,
yeah, sit it there.
543
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:33,320
My mood's down.
544
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:38,920
Four days without tucker
is a long time.
545
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:49,040
I miss my kids. I miss my home.
546
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:52,160
I miss my partner, Rob.
547
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:56,120
I was highly considering tapping
last night.
548
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:09,400
Anyways, I didn't bring a picture
of Rob and my kids...
549
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:14,040
..so I thought that'd be the reason
I'd want to tap and go home.
550
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:16,960
But...
551
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,800
..what I did bring was
a picture of my mum and dad.
552
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:29,200
(SOBS) And they've always made me
believe I can do anything.
553
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:46,520
They both passed.
554
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:49,000
They both passed of cancer.
555
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:57,680
She was in her early forties,
556
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:00,800
like, she would've been
around my age.
557
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:12,960
Everything I've done in life
is to make them proud
558
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:14,760
and I know they are.
559
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:33,600
It's my dad that gave me
the love of being out bush.
560
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:45,760
And Mum would always say,
live life to the fullest.
561
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:48,560
Don't worry about
what other people think.
562
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:51,120
It doesn't matter.
563
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:52,520
You only live life once.
564
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:54,360
Do what makes you happy.
565
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:02,920
Right now, I think they'd be saying,
566
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:07,160
you know, family is the most
important thing
567
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:09,960
and if you want to go home,
go home.
568
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:16,520
'Cause I could be at home
in the bush with my family,
569
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:20,040
making memories and...
570
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:25,800
..living every day in the moment
571
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:30,160
because you never know
when someone's gonna go.
572
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:02,440
(SATELLITE PHONE BEEPING)
573
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:10,400
Hello...
574
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:13,440
Yes, this is Leanne.
575
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:15,600
I'm officially tapping out.
576
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:52,040
Ready to go.
577
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:59,360
This has just made me realise
how important family is.
578
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:03,800
Just makes you think,
why be here alone...
579
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:08,280
..when I can be at home
making memories with my kids
580
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:10,160
before it's my time?
581
00:45:14,720 --> 00:45:18,080
I guess that's my biggest
realisation.
582
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:21,560
I don't want them to miss out on
having me around.
583
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:29,600
I'm done and I'm happy
with the decision.
584
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:32,120
I'm not gonna have any regrets
at all...
585
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:35,560
Life's too short.
586
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:46,160
No amount of money in the world
is worth being away from my family.
587
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:52,160
The day I arrived,
588
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:55,360
there was a little fantail
following me around
589
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:59,040
and then I didn't see him
the second day or the third day.
590
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:04,320
And then, today, leaving,
the fantail came back
591
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:06,920
and I just thought, you know,
this is the right decision.
592
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:09,120
He's sort of come to say goodbye.
593
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:18,200
At least I beat Rob's one night,
so I am happy with that.
594
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:22,640
We really do put our family first
595
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:24,960
and I guess it's this experience
596
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:29,120
that really, really makes you
realise that.
597
00:46:35,720 --> 00:46:38,680
Alone Australia, powered by Kia.
598
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:42,280
It's the ultimate
human endurance challenge.
599
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:45,640
The battle is on to survive alone in
the rugged New Zealand wilderness,
600
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:50,760
with the winner taking home
a prize worth $250,000.
601
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:15,640
I need to build a shelter,
A-frame.
602
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:20,160
Tripod, actually,
'cause I've got nothing here
603
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:25,040
and my bed will just be over
this side.
604
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:28,320
I'm just gonna simplify it down -
big time.
605
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:29,840
I'm not having guests.
606
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:32,320
It doesn't need to be pretty,
607
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:34,280
it just needs to do a job.
608
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:40,240
And I just need to get this done
before dark.
609
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:47,400
There's all sorts of reasons
610
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:51,960
why you come out here
to a place like this.
611
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:57,520
A big part of it was pretty simple,
I just want to challenge myself.
612
00:47:57,520 --> 00:48:00,720
So I think I'm doing it about now,
like today.
613
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:11,640
I don't want to actually
run myself down too quick,
614
00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:15,560
but, no matter what,
I've got to get this bed done.
615
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:19,840
I think we're getting there.
616
00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:24,080
Ooh!
617
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:28,280
Oh, you are gonna put that on,
aren't you?
618
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:31,120
(LAUGHS)
619
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:35,680
Well, that was good
to find out now.
620
00:48:38,720 --> 00:48:43,120
Being out here all alone,
621
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:45,760
it's 100% not about what you own,
622
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:49,840
how much money you make,
what you look like.
623
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:54,800
I'm gonna make a good outside one
'cause it's a bit thicker.
624
00:48:54,800 --> 00:49:00,120
It's just you and what abilities
you have to keep you alive.
625
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:04,560
(SIGHS)
626
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:06,840
I'm done.
627
00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:10,040
It was just such a big effort today.
628
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:13,360
I had to, like, start again.
629
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:15,960
I can't wait for the time
that comes
630
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:19,120
when I can just come out of
the shelter
631
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:21,040
and just spend all day
looking for food.
632
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:42,240
As soon as you jump out of bed,
633
00:49:42,240 --> 00:49:44,600
bang, getting smashed by these
midges.
634
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:46,840
They're never ending.
635
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:48,200
They never stop coming.
636
00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:52,320
Can't even put my shoes on
quick enough
637
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:54,040
without 'em just smashing my feet.
638
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:59,440
All I want to do is
do some fishing again today.
639
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:01,040
Give it another crack.
640
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:06,160
Seems to be a bit of current
in the lake today.
641
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:13,240
Yesterday, it was a bust,
didn't catch any fish
642
00:50:13,240 --> 00:50:18,840
and lost a hook on that naughty eel.
643
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:20,400
What do you do?
644
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:23,200
Just gonna keep fishing.
645
00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:27,120
Oh, sun's finally out.
646
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:28,360
Maybe that'll get the fish moving.
647
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:36,600
Alright, there we go.
648
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:37,920
We just got something on this line.
649
00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:42,560
Let's find out.
650
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:45,160
Come on, now, buddy.
651
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:48,200
What have you got for me?
652
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:52,120
Oh-ho! I got a fish on here.
653
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:54,960
Yoo-hoo!
654
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:56,680
Check him out.
655
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:02,120
Oh!
656
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:05,640
Oh, first fish.
657
00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:08,960
How lucky is that?
658
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:11,000
Well, mate...
659
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:13,400
..not a bad size, too.
660
00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:16,200
You'll do for my dinner.
661
00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:17,960
Bloody hell.
662
00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:20,400
Hang on, let me just,
663
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:24,360
these midges keep getting in
me bloody eyeballs. Holy moly.
664
00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:28,000
Hey, he's not too bad, eh?
665
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:30,120
Beautiful colours, right?
666
00:51:31,240 --> 00:51:34,120
Yee-ha! How good is that?
667
00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:36,520
I'll cook him up for tea tonight,
eh? Cool.
668
00:51:40,720 --> 00:51:42,360
Jeez, that makes me feel good.
669
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:45,240
I had no idea the little bastard
was even on there.
670
00:51:45,240 --> 00:51:47,200
Oh, God, he's slippery.
671
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:51,400
Fish guts.
672
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:55,640
Leave them here for bait.
673
00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:58,000
I'm gonna absolutely pig out tonight.
674
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:12,160
Now I'm gonna try fit this whole
damn fish in this two-quart pot.
675
00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:14,600
And we've got to cook him
in two lots.
676
00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:15,960
Doesn't really matter.
677
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:18,920
Look at that - beautiful pink.
678
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:23,080
They're just lovely.
679
00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:24,720
Mm.
680
00:52:24,720 --> 00:52:27,040
It's going to taste so good.
681
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:29,280
Whole fish for dinner, eh?
682
00:52:45,720 --> 00:52:48,280
Well, let's have some tea.
683
00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:53,000
Ooh la-la.
684
00:52:57,080 --> 00:53:01,160
Ah, I'm sure you know
what trout tastes like.
685
00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:09,960
It's even better now,
but this is it.
686
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:12,040
Day five knocked on the head.
687
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:17,840
I'll just keep this up.
688
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:19,360
This will be me.
689
00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:23,520
Now I'm gonna survive and stay
out here for as long as it takes.
690
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:31,160
Last night, there was deer
all around me.
691
00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:35,360
Oh, I think I've got a couple
of hundred bites on me now.
692
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:37,160
Lots and lots of miro berries.
693
00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:39,520
My heart rate's going quite fast.
694
00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:40,600
That might take me out.
695
00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:45,160
