1
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,320
MALE SPEAKER: The South
Island of New Zealand,

2
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,680
it's an epic place.

3
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:39,120
It's wet, it's cold, it's snowy.

4
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:41,920
If you don't respect
the environment here,

5
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,120
it will slap you hard.

6
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,400
I just need to
bring some food in.

7
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,800
Look at that stinker.

8
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,720
CHACE: Last night, there
was deer all around me.

9
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,440
That's freaking delicious.

10
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,000
FEMALE SPEAKER: I know how
tough it's going to be.

11
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,720
Oh, my god, I miss thenm.

12
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,040
FEMALE SPEAKER: You got
to feel safe, otherwise,

13
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:07,800
you just die out here.

14
00:01:07,960 --> 00:01:09,920
It doesn't feel
as bad as it looks.

15
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:11,120
It feels worse.

16
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:12,240
MALE SPEAKER: This
[bleep] just got real.

17
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:13,800
MALE SPEAKER: Jesus.

18
00:01:13,960 --> 00:01:16,960
I'm scared enough to have my
emergency tap out in my hand.

19
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:18,960
MALE SPEAKER: The
last person standing

20
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:23,680
may take home $250,000.

21
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:24,680
[phone rings]

22
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:26,040
MALE SPEAKER: Somebody help me!

23
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,640
Man, it just goes bang, hits
me right here in the chest.

24
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,200
Really, really sore.

25
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,560
You can't help but think there
could be something drastic.

26
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,760
Food's going to be a priority
in the first couple of days,

27
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,600
because I don't
think I'm going long.

28
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:50,960
(WHISPERING) My
motivation has gone up.

29
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,280
I can hear something
in front of me.

30
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:58,040
Being away from my family,
that's not normal for mob.

31
00:01:58,200 --> 00:01:58,920
[buzz]

32
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:00,600
I'm officially tapping out.

33
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,640
What have you got for me?

34
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:07,000
Oh, ho, I've got a fish on here.

35
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:08,560
Beautiful colors, right?

36
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,800
I'm going to survive and
stay out here for as long

37
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:11,560
as it takes.

38
00:02:43,920 --> 00:02:50,200
Well, last night
was pretty intense.

39
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,160
There was deer all around me.

40
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:59,840
At one stage, there was
a stag just about there.

41
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,120
I could see him in the
shadows of the night.

42
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,200
What it looks like they're doing
is coming down here and night

43
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,480
riding this-- this
front bank here.

44
00:03:09,640 --> 00:03:12,080
So I'm going to try
to head up the hill

45
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,280
and catch them on their
way down this afternoon.

46
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:20,560
It's hard, yakka, but I'm
just gonna give it a shot.

47
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,640
They were right here.

48
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,600
We'll just see things come
in our favor or nor, eh?

49
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,480
I like fishing and
all, but I am a hunter,

50
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,680
and I love hunting deer.

51
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,400
I do it all the bloody time.

52
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,840
That's why I've literally ever
been outdoors since before I

53
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,720
can remember, and I just
feel like a part of it.

54
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,240
I didn't watch Bob the
builder or something,

55
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:58,600
I wanted to watch Troy Dan.

56
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,440
And then Bear Grylls came along.

57
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,080
And Steve Irwin was
my man, you know.

58
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,480
And then growing up in a
place like the Whitsundays,

59
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:06,760
it was freedom.

60
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,160
There's forests, and
mountains, and rivers,

61
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:13,400
and just all the good stuff.

62
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:14,520
We were just bush kids.

63
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:20,240
Oh, [bleep]

64
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:21,600
I'm not sure if
you could see this,

65
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,800
but I'm reaching the top
of all the smallest bloody

66
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:27,480
hills at the moment.

67
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,680
I don't know how many
meters above sea level I am,

68
00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:33,440
or whatever, but
I'm [bleep] high up.

69
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,760
Yeah, just showing you a
bunch of trees, aren't I?

70
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:37,680
That's funny.

71
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,640
You can see this way,
there's some trees.

72
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,280
You see out there,
there's some more trees.

73
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,280
And then over there,
you wouldn't believe it,

74
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,360
more trees.

75
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,520
Oh, God, at least I
don't think I'm funny.

76
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,080
I don't know about anyone else.

77
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:00,040
I'm buggered.

78
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:00,960
Let's keep going, though.

79
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,160
Been hard going up
this mountain today.

80
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:13,360
I probably burned way too many
calories doing it, but so what.

81
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,480
This is a guy coming
up here hunting.

82
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:22,280
I plan on staying here till
I bloody get something.

83
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,520
I know I'm an excellent hunter.

84
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,280
I've proven myself time and
time and again, but this

85
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:28,560
is the ultimate test.

86
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,280
And this is the Olympics,
really, you know.

87
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,480
So just another
way to test myself.

88
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:07,640
Back over my shoulder there is
just cliff face, too steep now.

89
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:13,720
And everything's wet underfoot
so you just five steps up,

90
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,560
10 paces backwards
when you fall over.

91
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:23,200
I'm just taking L's up here--
left, right, and center.

92
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:24,840
Not real good for a bowhunter.

93
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,040
Yeah, if I was to sit
up there with the bow,

94
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:36,200
I'd just be shooting [bleep] in
the
wind and just guessing, really.

95
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,680
I gave it a red hot crack.

96
00:06:39,840 --> 00:06:43,160
It's called huntin for a
reason, because you don't always

97
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:44,240
get what you're after.

98
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,680
It's funny how something
like that just gets to you.

99
00:06:56,840 --> 00:07:00,640
Every time I'm having
a bit of a rough time,

100
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,080
my thoughts just go
straight back to home.

101
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:09,200
I miss Mom.

102
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:10,080
I miss Dad.

103
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:10,960
I miss my grandparents.

104
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:11,960
I miss my horses.

105
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:13,280
I miss me dogs.

106
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,960
And I miss Annie like
[bleep] more than ever.

107
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,640
That's a lot.

108
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,800
Gotta stay here for a
little while longer.

109
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:31,360
It's not so long in the grand
scheme of things, is it?

110
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,840
What's the rest of your
life for a couple of months?

111
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,040
Just keep rolling them in.

112
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:38,040
Here for the long run.

113
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,200
It's 17 meters, just to
the right of the camera.

114
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:16,320
Yes, got it.

115
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,840
Happy with that.

116
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:20,640
Are you ready?

117
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:21,280
Stand by.

118
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,320
[gun shots]

119
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:25,840
My name is Jack.

120
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,240
I'm a waterproofer and tiler
from Hillside and Victoria.

121
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,000
One of the things that
I like about my job

122
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,200
is problem-solving.

123
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,120
Day after day, I don't
do the same thing.

124
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:40,840
Thanks, everyone, for coming.

125
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,000
Enjoy, enjoy.

126
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:43,440
That's it.

127
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,080
I was born in Santiago in
Chile, and for me, family

128
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:47,640
is very important.

129
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,880
John was asking me before if
I thought you were going to win.

130
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,640
I said that you definitely
have the will for it.

131
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:54,400
Yes.

132
00:08:54,560 --> 00:08:56,600
And the stubbornness.

133
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,040
You gotta have stubbornness.

134
00:08:58,200 --> 00:08:59,320
Yes.

135
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,720
I want to do this as
an ultimate challenge.

136
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,200
I've been hunting and
fishing over 40 years.

137
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,840
The way I'd describe
hunting to a non-hunter,

138
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,400
it would be being
out in the elements,

139
00:09:09,560 --> 00:09:11,640
playing chess with nature.

140
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,880
It takes more than just
being a good hunter

141
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:15,360
to survive in the bush.

142
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,680
It takes thinking
out of the box.

143
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:18,600
Take care.

144
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:19,560
OK.

145
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:21,480
Innovation is my secret weapon.

146
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,320
I've got no intention of
sitting there, doing nothing,

147
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,760
and waiting for
things to come to me.

148
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:27,400
See you, Jack.

149
00:09:27,560 --> 00:09:28,480
I'll go and hunt.

150
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:39,160
Well, I did picture myself in
a postcard, and this is it.

151
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,640
It's an amazing spot.

152
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:46,600
The only thing that would
make it better is some game.

153
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:48,800
You know, a little
pig or a young deer

154
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,840
on the fire with a bit of
salt. But before that, I've

155
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,200
got to do an activity that's the
least amount of energy to get

156
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,280
food, which is fishing.

157
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,320
That's what I'm trying to work
out, how to get the fish out

158
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:04,080
of this lake.

159
00:10:12,560 --> 00:10:16,560
Water's probably at a
more constant temperature.

160
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:23,600
I've got to get the
lures further out.

161
00:10:26,680 --> 00:10:29,720
I start carving
out a little lure.

162
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,480
What would be nice
if it could sink.

163
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:36,560
I might tie up a little
stone to the front of it

164
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,560
so it's got a little
bit of weight.

165
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,000
If it doesn't have much
weight, it will just

166
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,680
float on the top like a stick.

167
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:51,560
So this is the lure I made.

168
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,840
I'm going to shoot
it off with the bow.

169
00:10:59,560 --> 00:11:00,680
I had all these grand plans.

170
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,320
You got to have a plan, right?

171
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,160
We'll see if it does anything.

172
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,680
That's ready.

173
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:10,720
Hook on.

174
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,960
Keep pointing it upwards.

175
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:15,280
OK.

176
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:16,040
All right.

177
00:11:20,680 --> 00:11:22,480
Let's give it a go.

178
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,160
[bow fires]

179
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:29,040
I think it worked.

180
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:34,440
I think it worked.

181
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:38,560
There's the arrow.

182
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:48,240
And retrieve the lure Wit the
hook intact and everything.

183
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:54,360
So I got the bow working.

184
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:55,640
The lure is OK.

185
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,440
The rock was too heavy.

186
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,200
I've got to adjust that.

187
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:04,480
This is all about
experimenting and having fun

188
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,360
and hopefully not starving.

189
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:07,240
I don't want to starve.

190
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,080
I want to catch a fish.

191
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:13,680
The $250,000 prize, to me,
is the icing on the cake.

192
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:20,000
But I want to win the prize as
confirmation of my abilities

193
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,120
to be able to survive
in the wilderness.

194
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:27,280
It's not going to be just a
few days or a couple of weeks.

195
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:28,680
I'd love to do 100 days.

196
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,320
(SINGING) Namu, namu, go away.

197
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,400
Let me have a restful day.

198
00:12:57,560 --> 00:13:01,080
Please find somewhere
else to play.

199
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,320
Namu, namu, go away.

200
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,600
[whistling]

201
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:15,200
Oh.

202
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,240
I reckon I just got
bitten by one on my ankle.

203
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,360
My song didn't work.

204
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:24,800
Oh, well.

205
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,200
Maybe they'll just take a
while to learn my language.

206
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:28,840
Maybe they won't listen anyway.

207
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,240
I'm going to go for
a little explore.

208
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,560
There's this urgency in me
to get some decent food in me

209
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,880
before my body really
starts to slow down

210
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,720
and I don't have the
energy to do those things.

211
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,800
And yet I know I can't
rush the process.

212
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,800
I still haven't explored
my land very far yet.

213
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:04,320
I'm Suzan.

214
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,120
I'm 54 years old, and I'm
from Western Victoria.

215
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,880
I'm a nature guide and
grower of organic food.

216
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,000
This color is pretty amazing.

217
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,280
In my home life, I'm not
connected to the mains

218
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:17,480
electricity or water.

219
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:18,800
We live off the grid.

220
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:20,200
Bit of sun this morning.

221
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:21,680
Yeah, it's a nice change.

222
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,040
We might have enough power
to do a load of washing.

223
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:25,400
Yeah.

224
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:26,720
I live with my best friend
John, who also happens

225
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:28,760
to be my husband, and my
two dogs, our two dogs,

226
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:30,400
Charlie and Toby.

227
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,640
He's a bit of a wild man, which
is wonderful, because it just

228
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,120
suits my personality perfectly.

229
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,560
You'll have mornings
like this out there.

230
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:38,800
Yeah.

231
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,840
Yeah, without the
dogs or me or breakfast.

232
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,240
[laughs]

233
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,640
I think the way I have
lived for the last 30 years

234
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,520
does give me an advantage
going into an experience

235
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,240
like "Alone."

236
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,200
I have a really broad skill set.

237
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:53,480
I'm a generalist.

238
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,600
I covered hunting and gathering.

239
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,000
And the problem solving
and the practicality

240
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:02,160
of living a nature-based
life translates

241
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,640
to the "Alone" experience.

242
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,680
See you in three months, eh?

243
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:07,360
Maybe four.

244
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:07,960
Maybe four.

245
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:08,680
Yeah.

246
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:15,880
I want to win it with all of
myself, with all of my being.

247
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:17,440
With climate change,
the biggest threat

248
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:21,800
to the land where John and
I live is drought and fire.

249
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,280
And so if I was to
win the $250,000,

250
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:29,640
I would invest in a sustainable
water catchment system

251
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,640
to ensure the
well-being of ourselves

252
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:34,480
and the other animals around us.

253
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:48,440
Four, five, six.

254
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,560
I've come to berry land.

255
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:52,240
Miro.

256
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:56,480
Fantastic.

257
00:15:56,640 --> 00:16:01,280
Lots and lots of miro berries,
which is very exciting.

258
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:02,640
I love the flavor of them.

259
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,760
They're sweet, make me feel like
I've really eaten something.

260
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:07,960
So I'll be here for
a while, I think,

261
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:09,480
and then I'll head
back down to camp.

262
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:15,120
[scatting]

263
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:23,320
I've had a relationship with
plants for the last 40 years.

264
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,400
I started studying herbal
medicine when I was 14,

265
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,280
and it's just been a
passion for me ever since.

266
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,760
What can I eat, what
can I use for medicine?

267
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,120
It's critical to know the
plant resources available,

268
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,560
because they're the
basis of your diet.

269
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,360
The meats are an added bonus.

270
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:49,960
But if you can stay at that base
sustainable level with plants,

271
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:51,520
you're in a pretty
healthy position

272
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:56,480
to then access the animal
resources that are there.

273
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,480
The one's a funny looking one.

274
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,960
I think to be a human alone
in the landscape, providing

275
00:17:05,120 --> 00:17:09,640
for your own food needs and
shelter, is the ultimate test.

276
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:11,800
And I would
definitely have pride

277
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:16,520
in being able to
demonstrate that survival.

278
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:20,080
That's breakfast for tomorrow
I've had enough for today.

279
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,000
They're very strong
in their flavor,

280
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,760
and I just get this faint sort
of "oof" feeling from them if I

281
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:27,000
eat too many.

282
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,800
So yeah, I'll have
some of them tomorrow.

283
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:48,520
I've got to find a
spot to dig some worms.

284
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,760
Attempt to find some worms.

285
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,760
But if I find some bait, I'm
going to get some fishing lines

286
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:56,960
in.

287
00:17:57,120 --> 00:18:00,800
I intentionally not wanted
to eat for the first week.

288
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,520
I wanted my body to know
that you're without food,

289
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:07,920
and you are to start
eating up the fat, ketosis.

290
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,040
When you're talking
about, the idea

291
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:16,720
of catching a fish and the idea
of getting something to eat

292
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,040
makes you think a
bit more about food,

293
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:20,560
and you start feeling
a bit more hungry.

294
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:28,560
Oh, are you [bleep] me?

295
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,680
It's tiny as hell.

296
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:32,680
It's a worm.

297
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:37,360
It's about a centimeter long.

298
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:42,040
Geez, it'd have to be
hungry fish, wouldn't it?

299
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:43,520
Come on.

300
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,520
Where there's little worms,
there has to be big worms.

301
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:47,240
Ooh, ooh.

302
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:47,800
We're back.

303
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,360
We're back.

304
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,080
Seems to be, to me, the size.

305
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:01,560
Oh, no.

306
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:02,360
Look at my boot.

307
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:06,160
My boot is coming apart.

308
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,600
It felt a little earlier
like it just felt slightly

309
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:13,600
different to walk on.

310
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:15,600
I didn't give it much attention.

311
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:17,360
I just had these
boots professionally

312
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,120
resoled about six months ago.

313
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:21,960
I've got to really
make sure I come up

314
00:19:22,120 --> 00:19:24,760
with a solution for that.

315
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:25,880
That takes priority.

316
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:36,240
My budget didn't really
allow for elaborate gear.

317
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,000
I've got a pair of
gumboots as a backup,

318
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,240
but they're a
reasonably firm fit.

319
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:44,640
I'm going to be doing a stack
of walking over the next week

320
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,120
or so.

321
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,400
And of course, the
ripple effect of this--

322
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:54,080
sand gets inside, and it gets
in under where my feet are.

323
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,520
That's going to cause friction.

324
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,800
Both can lead to blisters.

325
00:19:59,960 --> 00:20:01,320
Blisters can get infected.

326
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:06,040
And dealing with infections
out here is an issue.

327
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,520
Man, they're disintegrating.

328
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,160
These things are
sent to test us.

329
00:20:34,360 --> 00:20:35,160
Sandfly soup.

330
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,200
There's 8 or 10 of them
in there this morning.

331
00:20:43,360 --> 00:20:45,400
So I'm not complaining.

332
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,280
Literally, they're the
only protein I've had,

333
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,240
so they're going down the hatch.

334
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:56,440
They've been boiled, so
it can't be that bad.

335
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,720
I am doing this because--

336
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:00,440
I don't know-- maybe
I'm a bit crazy.

337
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,480
I just think I can do it.

338
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,000
My name is Jason.

339
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:09,200
I'm 37 years old, and I am a
proud Yanyuwa Waanyi Garawa

340
00:21:09,360 --> 00:21:10,360
man.

341
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,520
My country is up
in the gulf country

342
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:13,640
in the Northern Territory.

343
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:17,080
So Borroloola is right here.

344
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,080
I'm a jungai of that area.

345
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,960
"Jungai" is the term given
to young men in the Yanyuwa

346
00:21:23,120 --> 00:21:24,000
region.

347
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,320
It means a protector
of the land.

348
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,360
I would say I've got a very
unique hunting skill set.

349
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:31,960
We're having yabi for dinner.

350
00:21:32,120 --> 00:21:32,920
What a catch.

351
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:34,400
What I learned
in the territory

352
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,440
was the traditional style of
hunting, using hand spears

353
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,600
and harpoons and how to
track different animals

354
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:42,200
in certain settings.

355
00:21:42,360 --> 00:21:45,120
I would say that strengthens
my survival skills, for someone

356
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,400
like me that has hunted a
variety of different ways.

357
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,120
I wonder how you'll go with
that aspect of it, of just

358
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,240
being by yourself 24/7.

359
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,200
That's one of those things
you think you'll be fine,

360
00:21:56,360 --> 00:21:58,480
but I'm sure when you're out
there in the thick of it,

361
00:21:58,640 --> 00:21:59,480
it'll be different.

362
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:00,720
Yeah.

363
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:02,640
I'm under no illusion
that it'll be easy,

364
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:07,000
but I would do whatever
I could to win.

365
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:07,520
Love you.

366
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:08,120
Love you.

367
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:08,840
Mwah.

368
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:09,840
Bye, dogs.

369
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:10,720
Good luck.

370
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,200
I've been here five days.

371
00:22:16,360 --> 00:22:20,120
Feeling OK, but not great.

372
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,560
I need to source
some sort of protein.

373
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,520
I'm going on this little
explore this morning

374
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:31,280
just because a few
days ago I saw a deer.

375
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:32,600
Oh, look at that.

376
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:34,920
He's right there, just
behind that bush there.

377
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:42,720
That's the one.

378
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,480
So I set about making
a permanent structure.

379
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:50,400
Because without a decent shelter
and a decent base, any food

380
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,040
that you get, particularly
if you get a surplus of food,

381
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:57,880
you've got to be able to
then preserve it and keep it.

382
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,480
I'm just following this trail.

383
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:04,680
There was a lot of
traffic on this one.

384
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,440
This is good.

385
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:08,120
Oh.

386
00:23:12,120 --> 00:23:12,800
Beer bottle.

387
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,480
I think it's beer.

388
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:21,600
Put that in the bag.

389
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,960
Might come in handy
for something.

390
00:23:24,120 --> 00:23:27,240
Just scraping together to try
to get some kind of a shelter

391
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,320
built. It was a real effort.

392
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,480
So fingers crossed.

393
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:33,800
I've always been a big eater.

394
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,840
So for me to go almost
a week without any food,

395
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,240
I honestly don't know how
I'm still functioning.

396
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:40,680
Oh, it's been--

397
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:56,560
Well, I've just climbed an
elevation of about 10 meters,

398
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:01,720
and I'm absolutely [bleep]

399
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:02,680
Catch my breath.

400
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,200
Don't pass out.

401
00:24:09,360 --> 00:24:17,640
I've noticed that happened a few
times, where I've gotten a bit

402
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:21,280
And I'm sweating,
which isn't good.

403
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:25,400
So I'm going to go back down and
see if I can find another way.

404
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:26,520
Yep.

405
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:28,040
It's a bit of a
bust, but anyway.

406
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,360
I know that there's animals
up in the snow line,

407
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:40,880
but that's a hell of a climb
with no calories in the body.

408
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,240
I've got to start thinking
outside the box a little bit.

409
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,840
These wet conditions is just
making the glue come apart.

410
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:04,960
I'll find a solution.

411
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:08,880
Not your day to day
jobs on your list

412
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:13,960
back home, but funny how
your priorities change

413
00:25:14,120 --> 00:25:17,320
one environment to another.

414
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,320
But we're going to have to
do a bit of makeshift today,

415
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,200
paracord these up.

416
00:25:22,360 --> 00:25:25,280
Here, simple decisions
can make a big difference.

417
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:32,080
We go through these, setting
up I can still do my laces

418
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:33,480
through there.

419
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:38,040
That's just going to fray
up and create a nightmare.

420
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,600
Do I need to light a fire
just for this purpose?

421
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:43,880
Almost a yes.

422
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:45,120
It's testing me.

423
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,960
Can't get it much more
tapered than that.

424
00:26:11,120 --> 00:26:13,080
The main thing I need
to do is hold the sole

425
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,920
to stop moisture getting
into the bottom of my boot.

426
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,520
So when your feet get wet, they
get cold, and they become numb.

427
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,600
And then once they're numb, you
can't feel the potential damage

428
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:25,560
that's happening.

429
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:29,920
I'm hoping by putting the
paracord through the grooves,

430
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:31,680
I won't end up cutting
it through when

431
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:32,920
I'm walking on the rocks.

432
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:38,040
OK.

433
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:38,920
Let me see how that goes.

434
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:47,160
You're going to have trouble.

435
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,080
The sun sets on day six.

436
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:03,200
I Often think about
the motivation

437
00:27:03,360 --> 00:27:07,280
to do this particular challenge
and where it came from.

438
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:12,960
There's a lot would say I've
had a pretty troubled childhood.

439
00:27:13,120 --> 00:27:14,840
When I was about
six, dad took off,

440
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:20,720
and mom found it very
difficult, had alcohol

441
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:24,560
as her comfort to
such an extent that it

442
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:31,440
was-- she was unable to quite
manage us kids, try as she may.

443
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,000
Well, the head of
welfare stepped in,

444
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,040
and so we all got fostered
out to different homes.

445
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,960
There were some good times.

446
00:27:45,120 --> 00:27:57,080
There were certainly some
times that were difficult.

447
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:03,120
Yeah, plants and botany and
nature has been my savior.

448
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,800
It was my go-to to be able
to nurture something and care

449
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,560
for something.

450
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:10,080
Love my plants, love my bush.

451
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:21,080
Going through a childhood
that I found very difficult,

452
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:25,120
it has created and
formed who I am today.

453
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,480
And I like the person I am.

454
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:30,160
So the challenge
ahead of me now will

455
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,680
be bringing all of these
elements of resilience

456
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:35,600
and perseverance and patience.

457
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,320
It'll bring it to the
forefront, and I look forward

458
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:40,840
to seeing how it unfolds.

459
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,920
Second day it's raining.

460
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:21,000
Raining pretty hard
for the moment.

461
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:25,600
So to do something
with the time,

462
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:30,240
I'm just going to shave some
curl off a dry piece of timber,

463
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,680
dry-ish, as usual.

464
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:35,600
It's not dry as we know it.

465
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,840
Seems like the weather here
is really, really transient,

466
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:48,240
like it just comes and goes.

467
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:52,720
There was blue sky this
morning, and now it's

468
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:57,080
just fog and rain and [bleep]

469
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:06,560
I'm going to bite the
bullet and go out and see

470
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:13,040
if I can cast my way up towards
the river and look for fish.

471
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,200
It looks like it
stopped raining.

472
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:16,800
It's just drizzling
from the trees.

473
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:23,920
So when I first got here, I
had a plan not to get wet.

474
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:25,640
I have rain gear, so I'm dry.

475
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:29,320
But the combination
of moving and it's

476
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:33,440
totally still, high humidity,
you are going to sweat some.

477
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,800
It's a bit of, I guess, a risk.

478
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:44,480
Now it's started raining again.

479
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,240
Because you rely
on your clothing,

480
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,400
and you rely on being
able to be warm,

481
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:52,240
any risk of getting
any clothing damp

482
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:56,320
is a question you have
to take quite seriously.

483
00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:00,360
But we start to get a
bit of a problem now.

484
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,120
Is this going to
continue all day?

485
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:06,960
I'm going to have another day
where I most likely don't get

486
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:08,800
to finish my stuff and fish?

487
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:12,360
It's going to rain
for a week, you know?

488
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:16,800
And if that's the case,
what do I do then?

489
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:18,960
Try not to worry about
things I can't change.

490
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:25,160
For me, the failure would be if
I just get fed up and give up.

491
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:27,320
Not a big fan of giving up.

492
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,400
Gotta get the calories
in sooner or later.

493
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,120
Did not have a good
night last night.

494
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:02,320
It was a new problem.

495
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:22,160
My calves are just aching,
itching all night long.

496
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:23,600
My other leg as well.

497
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:27,560
I think I've got a couple
of hundred bites on me now.

498
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:29,920
Oh.

499
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:33,280
Got them on my hands as well.

500
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:33,960
My other hand.

501
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:37,920
Nasty.

502
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:44,920
Of course it's because
I'm wearing shorts.

503
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:48,120
But I just wear
shorts all the time.

504
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:52,760
I get hot, and that's one
way of regulating my heat.

505
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:57,520
This time I can't wear shorts if
I'm getting attacked like this.

506
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:11,720
Every wilderness area
has its own challenges.

507
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:17,400
I didn't come here to spend a
week and then see you later.

508
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:21,600
My goal is to out-survive.

509
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,600
That's what I'm trying to do.

510
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:26,360
I'm not giving up.

511
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:27,480
Not giving up yet.

512
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:54,640
Oh.

513
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:55,440
Sorry, moss.

514
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:56,000
I'll go behind you.

515
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:57,520
Sorry.

516
00:33:57,680 --> 00:33:58,400
OK.

517
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:00,160
So tie my shoelace off.

518
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:05,440
So I'm heading to
the fishing spot

519
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:10,240
today because I need
to bring some food in.

520
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:15,480
I'm getting plenty of berries,
but I just didn't really

521
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:17,080
want to eat the miro
berries this morning.

522
00:34:17,240 --> 00:34:21,520
I just felt this sort of
"eww" reaction to them.

523
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:23,240
I know I can't be
fussy about food here,

524
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:27,160
but it felt more like a
"body doesn't want them."

525
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:39,440
I'm going to have to get
some protein to make it home

526
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:40,320
for three months.

527
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:46,160
Wow.

528
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:47,160
That's an incredible rock.

529
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:52,200
Oh, wow.

530
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,520
That's John.

531
00:34:54,680 --> 00:35:02,520
It's a mountain like Johnny and
his passion for the vertical.

532
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,320
Yeah, and it's as
beautiful as him too.

533
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,240
That one's going to
go on my Earth altar.

534
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:20,160
John and I have the same passion
for nature as each other.

535
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:23,000
The beauty of nature
fills us in the same way,

536
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:26,920
and that is probably our
most unifying common ground.

537
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:28,680
I spent a lot of
time adventuring

538
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,440
with John out there.

539
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:33,840
He is an incredible support.

540
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:35,920
It's nutting out
problems together.

541
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:39,240
It's saying, yeah, you made
the right choice there.

542
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:43,640
His support is confirmation
that, yep, you're

543
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:45,160
on the right track.

544
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:46,760
Without him, I'm
really going to have

545
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:48,680
to lean into my
own sense of self

546
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:50,520
knowing about what's right.

547
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:54,040
So this is Fish Rock.

548
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:09,920
Lots of bird poo.

549
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:12,760
I wonder if the birds like it
because this is a good fishing

550
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:14,040
spot for them?

551
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:18,400
Quite shallow here, deep there.

552
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:21,600
A habitat there for trout.

553
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:25,240
Up.

554
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:27,360
I just can't go up
there right now.

555
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:38,680
I just feel
physically a bit off.

556
00:36:42,720 --> 00:36:43,560
OK.

557
00:36:43,720 --> 00:36:45,720
So this is our turnaround point.

558
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:51,560
The last phone call
I had with John,

559
00:36:51,720 --> 00:36:54,600
he just said, go slow, go slow.

560
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:56,960
So that's what I'm doing.

561
00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:01,400
OK, water, and then
back to the shelter.

562
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,360
Tummy's got some stuff going on.

563
00:37:28,240 --> 00:37:28,760
Day seven.

564
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:33,960
I had an explore, and that was--

565
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:38,840
I'm glad I did, but I was
busted physically and mentally

566
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:40,280
after that exploration.

567
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:44,720
And so probably need a day
just chilling out at camp.

568
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,120
I've got the water literally
right in front of me.

569
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:50,240
I think I'm going
to try that today.

570
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:54,200
It came to me last night, what
I can use my beer bottle for.

571
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:55,880
As long as it's
not going to sink,

572
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:59,160
it could be a float
for my fishing line.

573
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:01,920
Let's go and see.

574
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,600
That'll float in the
water, and then my line

575
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:07,760
will sit under it a little way.

576
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:09,680
So it's not bottom-bashing,
and so I'm not

577
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,600
going to catch a dirty big eel.

578
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:16,960
Hopefully, a nice big trout.

579
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,320
Dirty, dirty, dirty big trout.

580
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:23,200
That's the plan.

581
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:30,280
That's one right there.

582
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:31,840
Just have a look here.

583
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:32,800
Pull it tight.

584
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:41,480
Don't lose the worm.

585
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:42,480
Let's see how that goes.

586
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:51,120
Moment of truth.

587
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,280
[splash]

588
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:09,040
Beautiful.

589
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,600
It just wants to
come back to shore.

590
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:16,920
It's coming too close.

591
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:27,160
It's a funny day.

592
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:30,800
I made a plan for myself to just
have a bit of an easier day,

593
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,240
but I feel like I'm
not doing enough.

594
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:36,080
I feel like I need to
be busy doing something.

595
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:39,920
It's just this
tug of war with me

596
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:43,480
at the moment of like, go and
do something, but then no,

597
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:46,480
conserve your energy.

598
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:48,160
But then I just feel trapped.

599
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:53,920
I feel trapped in this little
spot, and it's driving me nuts.

600
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:58,080
Too much time inside
your own head.

601
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:05,280
I don't know.

602
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:08,960
I don't know, man.

603
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:16,520
Time to go find some firewood.

604
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:23,400
Just keep going.

605
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:24,200
Just another day.

606
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:27,080
Just get through tonight.

607
00:40:27,240 --> 00:40:30,720
Just got to be persistent
and keep trying it.

608
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:36,400
Hopefully something works.

609
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:31,360
Thought I heard something.

610
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:41,640
You get pretty tuned which
sounds you hear around here.

611
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:46,760
As soon as there's a different
one, then you go, hmm?

612
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:48,080
Funny.

613
00:41:48,240 --> 00:41:49,720
Your brain goes, I
wonder if I can eat that.

614
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:10,320
[tense music]

615
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:26,240
I'll see if I can get her.

616
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:52,840
I can't shoot it.

617
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:05,000
I thought I heard something.

618
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:47,160
[tense music]

619
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:55,320
Oh, [bleep]

620
00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:57,520
Now what?

621
00:44:32,720 --> 00:44:34,840
Oh, [bleep]

622
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:36,680
I got him.

623
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:37,720
Where's my shovel?

624
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:43,240
Oh.

625
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:48,680
I have food.

626
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:05,760
It's a male.

627
00:45:09,240 --> 00:45:14,080
May as well just keep the
fire going and skin him out.

628
00:45:14,240 --> 00:45:17,120
And once I've skinned him out,
I'll figure out what to do,

629
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:18,640
put our meat on and stuff.

630
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:26,800
That's my first possum.

631
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:32,280
Never thought I would take my
first possum with a shovel.

632
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:38,680
Start him up.

633
00:45:41,720 --> 00:45:44,280
Such a sense of
relief, knowing I

634
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:46,040
have food for a couple of days.

635
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:55,040
Possum tail stew.

636
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:56,680
Truly grateful.

637
00:45:56,840 --> 00:46:01,400
I'm going to make sure to eat
every single bit of this possum

638
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:03,000
that can be consumed.

639
00:46:06,240 --> 00:46:08,960
Going to see if I
can get this done.

640
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:11,160
But hunting is controversial.

641
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:18,360
Not a big fan of the whole uber
masculine TV celebrity hunter

642
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:19,360
thing.

643
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:20,720
I don't think it's a good look.

644
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:22,120
It's not who I am.

645
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:24,320
That's not what I do.

646
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:26,360
That's not why I hunt.

647
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:30,760
The reason I started hunting
was for ethical reasons.

648
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:34,960
If I buy my meat in the store,
you just paid someone else

649
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:35,600
to do it.

650
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:37,000
You don't see it.

651
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:41,200
It still happens, and most
likely in worse forms.

652
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:42,360
That's the liver.

653
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:45,040
Because they'll be
in a slaughterhouse.

654
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:48,400
Or if you buy the cheap stuff,
it's going to be a bad route.

655
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:54,120
I think there's something
for me, anyway, honorable

656
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:58,120
to be able to provide
for yourself sustainably

657
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:01,200
from traditional means.

658
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:06,120
That is my first protein
cooking right there.

659
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:13,120
Should be celebrated
rather than picked on.

660
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:21,760
Hmm.

661
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:25,400
The crispy skin on
the outside is divine.

662
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:32,040
So freaking good.

663
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:39,440
That was an appetizer.

664
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:41,080
I should have dinner for a week.

665
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:49,520
I feel like this will make me
stay in the game a little bit

666
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:50,280
longer.

667
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:52,680
Oh.

668
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:54,680
Get a little bit
better motivation

669
00:47:54,840 --> 00:48:01,480
and focus rather than just
feeling myself getting

670
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:03,080
weaker and weaker each day.

671
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:13,600
[hiccups] It's delicious.

672
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:15,360
Let's do this tomorrow.

673
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:16,960
Go to bed.

674
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:18,320
Good night, team.

675
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:53,160
It's about 7:00
in the morning.

676
00:48:55,800 --> 00:49:00,960
I'm in this internal
wrestle with myself,

677
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:06,240
saying like, stick
it out, stick it out.

678
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:14,320
But then also I'll just--

679
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:18,920
I don't-- I don't see
how I can get food.

680
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:29,240
Everything's so--
everything's aching.

681
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:31,000
It's past the point
of even being hungry.

682
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:37,000
It's more just feeling weak,
just really weak and run down.

683
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:40,880
I don't trust my judgment.

684
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:44,240
I don't trust my
physicality, and I don't

685
00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:48,520
trust my own psychology either.

686
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:51,680
I really think I'm struggling
in terms of just having

687
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:54,840
a grip on things.

688
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:58,120
That's not like me, and I
don't like that feeling.

689
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:24,280
I've slept all day, apart
from going to get some water.

690
00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:36,240
[coughs]

691
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:46,800
I've just had diarrhea all
night and have no energy.

692
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:50,960
I probably shouldn't have eaten
those miro berries directly

693
00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:55,520
off the forest floor and
then just all those berries

694
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:58,320
in general.

695
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:00,960
I think my heart rate's
going quite fast, I think.

696
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:15,040
I'm certainly
feeling my age today.

697
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:19,800
At 54, almost 55,
maybe it just can't

698
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:25,440
cope with all the different
angles that I put it through.

699
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:30,600
I'm wondering if that
might take me out.

700
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:35,480
I'm not young enough
for this game, really.

701
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:07,280
Ugh!

702
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:08,960
I've started bleeding again.

703
00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:10,360
You just start to worry.

704
00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:12,080
You start to stress.

705
00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:15,640
I got barked at.

706
00:52:16,240 --> 00:52:17,680
Definitely a red deer.

707
00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:21,080
I got a bit of a confession.

708
00:52:21,240 --> 00:52:23,040
[inaudible]

709
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:24,080
Come on, buddy.

710
00:52:24,240 --> 00:52:25,160
Come on, come on,
come on, come on.

711
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:26,520
You think, oh, it'll be fun.

712
00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:29,240
You think it'll be easy.

713
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:30,600
I beg to differ.

714
00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:44,160
