1
00:00:15,310 --> 00:00:17,724
Beaver. Oh, hell yeah.
2
00:00:19,655 --> 00:00:20,965
Did I get him?
3
00:00:21,068 --> 00:00:24,586
Oh, please, God,
let me have gotten him.
4
00:00:24,689 --> 00:00:27,896
Oh, my God, there's nothing.
.
5
00:00:27,896 --> 00:00:29,896
Just look what I got here.
6
00:00:29,896 --> 00:00:32,448
That is a beautiful rabbit.
7
00:00:32,551 --> 00:00:35,206
First rabbit,
here in the Northland,
8
00:00:35,206 --> 00:00:37,931
200 kilometers north
of the Arctic Circle.
9
00:00:41,241 --> 00:00:42,896
Got him.
10
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:44,793
Knocked him right in the head.
11
00:00:44,793 --> 00:00:47,689
I've come to realize that
I'm right where I belong.
12
00:00:47,689 --> 00:00:50,310
Lost my fishing line
out of my backpack.
13
00:00:50,413 --> 00:00:51,862
And I can't find it.
14
00:00:51,862 --> 00:00:53,689
I'm worried that my body
15
00:00:53,689 --> 00:00:56,137
will start becoming weaker
and weaker.
16
00:00:56,896 --> 00:00:59,034
I got a fish in the net.
Look at that.
17
00:00:59,034 --> 00:01:02,379
Check it out, people.
I got a monster pike.
18
00:01:02,379 --> 00:01:04,448
This is the hunt
of my lifetime.
19
00:01:04,551 --> 00:01:08,689
I want this moose as bad I've
wanted any animal in my life.
20
00:01:10,241 --> 00:01:11,379
Oh, my gosh.
21
00:01:11,379 --> 00:01:14,103
Dropped about 10 feet
in front of it.
22
00:01:19,586 --> 00:01:21,482
I'm not tappin' out.
23
00:01:21,482 --> 00:01:22,620
I'd rather die.
24
00:01:28,068 --> 00:01:30,172
Here goes nothing.
25
00:01:30,275 --> 00:01:31,275
Whoa!
26
00:01:31,275 --> 00:01:32,655
Yes!
27
00:01:32,655 --> 00:01:33,758
Holy [bleep].
28
00:01:36,586 --> 00:01:38,655
This is the harshest
location possible.
29
00:01:38,758 --> 00:01:41,241
We're 125 miles
in the Arctic Circle.
30
00:01:42,344 --> 00:01:43,655
Never had an environment
31
00:01:43,758 --> 00:01:44,793
make me feel like
a complete amateur before.
32
00:01:44,793 --> 00:01:46,827
Everything is against us
out here.
33
00:01:46,827 --> 00:01:48,620
Mother Nature went
and bitch-slapped me.
34
00:01:50,241 --> 00:01:52,068
Looks like I've got grizzlies
and wolves as my neighbors.
35
00:01:52,068 --> 00:01:54,551
Holy crap. They're just
hunting the shoreline.
36
00:01:54,655 --> 00:01:56,620
Mother Nature is about
to dim the lights on us.
37
00:01:56,620 --> 00:01:57,827
We're heading
into total darkness.
38
00:01:57,827 --> 00:01:59,517
- Hey, bear.
39
00:01:59,620 --> 00:02:03,344
The cold and the dark is
going to sap people's souls.
40
00:02:03,344 --> 00:02:05,172
Really makes you wonder
if it's worth it.
41
00:02:06,310 --> 00:02:07,448
There is no camera crew.
42
00:02:07,551 --> 00:02:08,793
There's no support system.
43
00:02:08,793 --> 00:02:10,413
I'm completely alone.
44
00:02:10,517 --> 00:02:11,482
Yes!
45
00:02:11,586 --> 00:02:12,758
People go in one way...
46
00:02:12,758 --> 00:02:14,241
Stop bleeding.
47
00:02:14,241 --> 00:02:16,000
And they come out
entirely different.
48
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,206
This is the most difficult
49
00:02:18,206 --> 00:02:19,206
survival challenge
in the world.
50
00:02:19,206 --> 00:02:20,241
Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
51
00:02:20,241 --> 00:02:21,517
$500,000.
52
00:02:21,620 --> 00:02:23,275
That's completely
life-changing money.
53
00:02:23,275 --> 00:02:24,482
It's beautiful.
54
00:02:24,482 --> 00:02:25,931
Whoever can thrive
the longest.
55
00:02:26,034 --> 00:02:27,862
If they out here,
ought to be afraid of me.
56
00:02:27,862 --> 00:02:29,344
- Whoever can push through...
57
00:02:29,448 --> 00:02:30,896
Wins.
58
00:02:30,896 --> 00:02:32,448
I hope I've made the right
choice coming out here.
59
00:03:06,827 --> 00:03:08,586
Really hate to do it
'cause it's gon' be cold,
60
00:03:08,689 --> 00:03:12,103
but I can't stand dirty hair.
61
00:03:12,103 --> 00:03:14,034
So...
62
00:03:15,551 --> 00:03:17,413
It's hair-washing time.
63
00:03:29,931 --> 00:03:31,931
Oh, my goodness.
64
00:03:33,931 --> 00:03:36,896
All right, this stuff here's
a good abrasive stuff.
65
00:03:47,103 --> 00:03:48,551
Man.
66
00:03:48,551 --> 00:03:50,724
Gosh, I'm muddy.
67
00:03:53,793 --> 00:03:55,689
Well, I hope that worked.
68
00:03:55,793 --> 00:03:58,862
'Cause if it didn't,
my hair's gon' be a mess now.
69
00:03:58,965 --> 00:04:00,413
Now I'm gonna turn
the camera off
70
00:04:00,413 --> 00:04:05,137
and wash my other end,
in private.
71
00:04:07,517 --> 00:04:09,206
Feel better.
72
00:04:09,310 --> 00:04:11,379
Let's run down
to the fishing spot.
73
00:04:16,793 --> 00:04:19,620
So I would really like
to catch some fish.
74
00:04:19,724 --> 00:04:21,551
My goodness.
75
00:04:24,517 --> 00:04:25,793
Hey.
76
00:04:29,241 --> 00:04:33,413
I believe I see
that thing shaking.
77
00:04:33,413 --> 00:04:35,103
Please.
78
00:04:35,206 --> 00:04:36,689
There's something
yanking on it,
79
00:04:36,689 --> 00:04:41,172
so I'm preparing myself
for battle.
80
00:04:43,448 --> 00:04:44,896
All right, guys.
81
00:04:44,896 --> 00:04:47,206
Oh, please.
82
00:04:47,310 --> 00:04:50,758
Please, please.
83
00:04:50,862 --> 00:04:52,137
Feel something.
84
00:04:52,137 --> 00:04:54,586
Oh, my goodness.
85
00:04:56,965 --> 00:04:59,551
Ah, I got me a fish!
86
00:04:59,551 --> 00:05:01,068
Don't--you ain't
going nowhere, buddy.
87
00:05:01,068 --> 00:05:03,413
I'll stomp on you.
I don't care.
88
00:05:03,413 --> 00:05:04,896
Nope. Nope. Nope.
89
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,517
Hey. Hey.
90
00:05:06,620 --> 00:05:08,344
Gotcha.
91
00:05:08,448 --> 00:05:10,655
Ah!
92
00:05:13,034 --> 00:05:15,379
Yes.
93
00:05:15,482 --> 00:05:18,206
That's a good-sized pike.
94
00:05:18,310 --> 00:05:20,689
I'm gon' dispatch this guy.
95
00:05:23,586 --> 00:05:27,724
There now.
He's not going nowhere.
96
00:05:27,724 --> 00:05:29,586
Heck yeah.
97
00:05:29,586 --> 00:05:32,034
This'll be good for me.
98
00:05:32,137 --> 00:05:33,827
I hope.
99
00:05:37,379 --> 00:05:39,620
Pike is a really bony fish.
100
00:05:39,620 --> 00:05:41,689
If you ain't careful,
you're gonna get some bones.
101
00:05:43,275 --> 00:05:44,896
I raised up eating catfish.
102
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,068
Oh, yeah.
103
00:05:47,068 --> 00:05:49,103
Ain't hardly no bones
in a catfish.
104
00:05:52,689 --> 00:05:54,931
Excuse me.
105
00:05:54,931 --> 00:05:58,172
I like catfish a lot better
than pike.
106
00:05:58,275 --> 00:06:00,310
Sorry about that, guys.
107
00:06:18,862 --> 00:06:21,724
Hate to say that.
It's true, though.
108
00:06:48,137 --> 00:06:50,862
Small, but cozy.
109
00:06:58,758 --> 00:06:59,862
All right.
110
00:07:04,620 --> 00:07:06,793
If you're inland,
you gotta be efficient.
111
00:07:06,793 --> 00:07:08,758
I wanted my shelter
to be close to resources,
112
00:07:08,758 --> 00:07:10,379
like, I gotta build a stove.
113
00:07:10,379 --> 00:07:12,275
There's a lot of clay and
stuff at the edges of the bank
114
00:07:12,379 --> 00:07:14,482
that I can haul down and use
to make a stove out of.
115
00:07:14,482 --> 00:07:16,482
But that's the only material
that I gotta walk.
116
00:07:16,482 --> 00:07:18,103
Everything else is close by.
117
00:07:18,103 --> 00:07:20,689
So you're not gonna waste
as much energy building it.
118
00:07:28,206 --> 00:07:30,758
Also, sizing the shelter
is very important
119
00:07:30,758 --> 00:07:33,724
because a large shelter
takes more and more energy
120
00:07:33,724 --> 00:07:35,275
to heat that air volume.
121
00:07:37,655 --> 00:07:39,172
I spent a few nights
in a igloo.
122
00:07:39,172 --> 00:07:42,000
I know what body heat can do
in a small shelter.
123
00:07:55,586 --> 00:07:57,724
One more trip of clay.
124
00:08:03,206 --> 00:08:05,034
OK.
125
00:08:05,137 --> 00:08:06,517
Whoa.
126
00:08:22,241 --> 00:08:26,551
This is a skill not known
by many outside of Labrador.
127
00:08:26,655 --> 00:08:28,724
You look for a long,
skinny stick.
128
00:08:28,827 --> 00:08:30,103
And then you get
a rabbit snare.
129
00:08:30,103 --> 00:08:33,344
And you wind it around
on the tip of the stick.
130
00:08:33,448 --> 00:08:36,275
And you put the snare
over his head and snare.
131
00:08:37,931 --> 00:08:40,000
Let's go that way.
132
00:08:48,586 --> 00:08:51,137
That's good.
133
00:08:52,551 --> 00:08:54,241
One right there.
134
00:08:54,241 --> 00:08:56,620
When I see a grouse, I watch
and see what he's doing first.
135
00:09:10,137 --> 00:09:11,965
The key to getting him
is making sure
136
00:09:11,965 --> 00:09:13,517
you get the stick out
in front of him
137
00:09:13,517 --> 00:09:16,206
so he can't fly because
there's a obstacle in his way.
138
00:09:16,206 --> 00:09:18,965
And then slowly try to get
that noose around his neck.
139
00:09:26,586 --> 00:09:27,862
Damn.
140
00:09:55,344 --> 00:09:56,413
Oh!
141
00:10:06,758 --> 00:10:10,241
- Oh! Oh! Oh.
142
00:10:14,655 --> 00:10:16,344
Awesome, awesome, awesome.
143
00:10:24,172 --> 00:10:27,724
I tell you, persistence--
persistence pays off.
144
00:10:39,206 --> 00:10:41,551
I'll bide my time and wait
for when they tame down a bit,
145
00:10:41,551 --> 00:10:43,586
and then just do it again.
146
00:10:43,586 --> 00:10:45,793
Gosh, I was surprised
to see so many.
147
00:10:48,724 --> 00:10:51,241
Good sign. Real good sign.
148
00:10:54,827 --> 00:10:57,310
Over here,
in my little food cache.
149
00:10:57,310 --> 00:10:58,758
I got a couple different
caches.
150
00:10:58,862 --> 00:11:00,344
I don't store everything
in one place.
151
00:11:02,034 --> 00:11:03,275
That way, if something
comes to one site,
152
00:11:03,379 --> 00:11:04,931
they're not gonna get
all of it.
153
00:11:11,413 --> 00:11:13,413
Oh, see, he's going over
right there.
154
00:11:17,137 --> 00:11:18,965
This is a skill that a lot
of people could benefit.
155
00:11:19,068 --> 00:11:20,137
Maybe there's people out there
that don't know how
156
00:11:20,241 --> 00:11:21,620
to shoot a bow like me.
157
00:11:21,620 --> 00:11:23,275
Don't move. Don't move.
Don't move. Don't move.
158
00:11:25,827 --> 00:11:27,758
Oh.
159
00:11:31,551 --> 00:11:33,413
To show this skill
that others could use
160
00:11:33,517 --> 00:11:35,310
to help them
in their adventures...
161
00:11:35,310 --> 00:11:37,137
Yeah, get back
and get this cleaned up.
162
00:12:02,517 --> 00:12:04,379
Toss that out there.
163
00:12:04,379 --> 00:12:05,896
Back there on
that branch again.
164
00:12:08,172 --> 00:12:09,413
Aah!
165
00:12:09,413 --> 00:12:11,965
Ugh, failing miserably.
166
00:12:16,827 --> 00:12:21,758
I'm going to add layers
of debris for insulation.
167
00:12:29,482 --> 00:12:32,068
An owl. Hi.
168
00:12:32,068 --> 00:12:33,517
Oh, my God,
you're so beautiful.
169
00:12:33,517 --> 00:12:35,965
What is up with you, owl?
170
00:12:36,068 --> 00:12:38,000
How magical.
171
00:12:40,206 --> 00:12:43,758
Get you on video 'cause
this is too frickin' awesome.
172
00:12:43,758 --> 00:12:45,965
I need my glasses.
173
00:12:45,965 --> 00:12:47,310
What a blessing.
174
00:12:47,310 --> 00:12:50,689
What in the world
are you doing awake?
175
00:12:50,793 --> 00:12:53,413
I'm sure the Gwich'in have
some type of meaning
176
00:12:53,413 --> 00:12:56,448
associated with a visit
from an owl.
177
00:12:56,551 --> 00:12:59,000
Hopefully it's good.
178
00:13:01,448 --> 00:13:03,379
Wow.
179
00:13:03,482 --> 00:13:05,482
That was spectacular!
180
00:13:09,379 --> 00:13:11,172
I'm gonna go do some foraging.
181
00:13:11,172 --> 00:13:13,655
Let's go find some vetch.
182
00:13:13,758 --> 00:13:17,241
My mind is blown at how well
I'm foraging in the Arctic.
183
00:13:17,344 --> 00:13:18,793
Hmm, there's some
right over here.
184
00:13:19,965 --> 00:13:23,172
Sweetvetch is an edible root.
185
00:13:23,172 --> 00:13:24,586
There we go.
186
00:13:24,586 --> 00:13:26,724
I'm gonna be focusing
a lot on the roots.
187
00:13:26,827 --> 00:13:29,137
A lot of carbohydrates
in roots.
188
00:13:29,241 --> 00:13:31,896
Ha! And I got it that time,
the whole thing.
189
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,620
Yay.
190
00:13:33,620 --> 00:13:37,000
The Arctic is similar
to my home in Alaska.
191
00:13:37,103 --> 00:13:42,172
And my foraging skills,
that's gonna take me far.
192
00:13:42,275 --> 00:13:45,206
Yum. That's a beast.
193
00:13:45,310 --> 00:13:48,551
But I haven't gotten
a single source of protein.
194
00:13:48,551 --> 00:13:50,965
All right, good for now.
195
00:13:50,965 --> 00:13:53,689
I am going to go over
to the lake,
196
00:13:53,689 --> 00:13:55,793
see if my beaver comes back.
197
00:13:57,206 --> 00:13:59,137
Foraging is keeping me
in the game.
198
00:13:59,137 --> 00:14:01,620
But gotta get some meat.
199
00:14:01,620 --> 00:14:03,275
Let's go this way.
200
00:14:03,275 --> 00:14:06,068
I did try some
handline fishing.
201
00:14:06,068 --> 00:14:09,793
But I can't catch fish
if I don't have real bait.
202
00:14:09,896 --> 00:14:11,931
Sucks I missed that beaver.
203
00:14:11,931 --> 00:14:14,931
But I just have to be ready.
204
00:14:16,172 --> 00:14:18,379
What is that?
205
00:14:18,379 --> 00:14:20,931
There's something
rustling around over here.
206
00:14:23,931 --> 00:14:25,551
Oh, my God.
207
00:14:25,551 --> 00:14:27,379
There's grouse up in that tree.
208
00:14:27,379 --> 00:14:29,206
Holy [bleep].
209
00:14:29,206 --> 00:14:30,482
Crap.
210
00:14:30,586 --> 00:14:32,413
Please, God.
211
00:14:32,413 --> 00:14:34,034
Could really use this.
212
00:14:42,103 --> 00:14:43,862
Oh, my God.
213
00:14:45,655 --> 00:14:47,344
Holy crap, I got it.
214
00:14:47,448 --> 00:14:48,965
Oh, my God.
215
00:14:49,068 --> 00:14:50,620
Ptarmigan.
216
00:14:50,724 --> 00:14:53,896
Thank you for giving your life
for me
217
00:14:53,896 --> 00:14:56,206
so I could sustain mine.
218
00:14:56,310 --> 00:14:58,896
Wow.
219
00:14:58,896 --> 00:15:01,103
This is a game changer for me.
220
00:15:01,206 --> 00:15:03,862
I just got protein.
221
00:15:03,862 --> 00:15:05,896
It's absolutely amazing,
222
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,448
this feeling
of accomplishment.
223
00:15:11,862 --> 00:15:13,931
He's not using his trails.
224
00:15:14,034 --> 00:15:16,896
He might be gone.
225
00:15:16,896 --> 00:15:19,068
I needed this.
226
00:15:19,068 --> 00:15:21,551
And this is a lot
of food for me.
227
00:15:21,551 --> 00:15:23,586
I'm looking at this ptarmigan,
228
00:15:23,586 --> 00:15:27,000
and I should have
a week's worth of meals.
229
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:31,068
This is also some bait that I
desperately needed for fishing.
230
00:15:31,172 --> 00:15:33,620
With the innards for bait,
231
00:15:33,620 --> 00:15:37,448
I'm going to have no problem
getting fish from this lake.
232
00:15:37,448 --> 00:15:39,689
I'm gonna make
some ptarmigan soup.
233
00:15:39,793 --> 00:15:42,862
Because of my ownership
of a fishing lodge,
234
00:15:42,862 --> 00:15:45,896
I am going to get
a lot of grief
235
00:15:45,896 --> 00:15:49,551
if I cannot feed myself
via fishing out here.
236
00:15:51,137 --> 00:15:57,758
Sauté up a little bolete and
sweetvetch so I get my carbs.
237
00:15:57,862 --> 00:16:00,137
If I can just store up
the carbs
238
00:16:00,137 --> 00:16:04,448
and keep hunting the protein,
I'm gonna keep going.
239
00:16:04,448 --> 00:16:06,413
Mm, the meat's good.
240
00:16:06,413 --> 00:16:12,068
This bird has changed
everything about this game.
241
00:16:12,068 --> 00:16:13,482
Mmm.
242
00:16:13,482 --> 00:16:15,965
My confidence is
starting to build.
243
00:16:16,068 --> 00:16:17,862
That is amazing.
244
00:16:37,034 --> 00:16:40,931
I don't know if my belly hurts
or if my damn back does.
245
00:16:40,931 --> 00:16:42,724
Hard work, hard work.
246
00:16:52,275 --> 00:16:53,517
I got a few little spots,
247
00:16:53,620 --> 00:16:57,241
I can stack my extra wood
in here, keep it dry.
248
00:16:57,241 --> 00:17:00,517
'Cause these boughs will--
will make the water shed.
249
00:17:00,517 --> 00:17:03,206
So they won't let all of it in.
250
00:17:03,206 --> 00:17:07,827
And won't let all the smoke out
till it hits the top.
251
00:17:07,931 --> 00:17:10,758
But if not,
we can redo it, you know?
252
00:17:10,758 --> 00:17:15,034
I gotta stay busy
all the time or...
253
00:17:15,034 --> 00:17:17,034
I start thinking
about my family.
254
00:17:18,448 --> 00:17:22,241
And that's not good to do
while you're out here.
255
00:17:23,931 --> 00:17:25,862
When I first started
into this adventure,
256
00:17:25,862 --> 00:17:27,931
I was afraid that I was gonna
have a lot of trouble,
257
00:17:28,034 --> 00:17:29,310
missing home.
258
00:17:29,310 --> 00:17:31,379
Now, I miss my family,
259
00:17:31,482 --> 00:17:34,482
but I haven't missed it
like I thought I was going to.
260
00:17:34,482 --> 00:17:37,724
Cut one more stick, and we'll
call it good for my crossbars.
261
00:17:37,724 --> 00:17:40,793
My wife, I've been married
to her for 13 years.
262
00:17:40,793 --> 00:17:43,413
And I wouldn't change
one minute of it.
263
00:17:43,413 --> 00:17:45,206
She's a honest, good woman.
264
00:17:45,206 --> 00:17:50,103
She loves the same things
I do, deer hunting, fishing.
265
00:17:50,206 --> 00:17:53,275
But the most important thing
to me is
266
00:17:53,379 --> 00:17:55,448
that's the best mama
in the world, you know?
267
00:17:55,448 --> 00:17:57,586
She's right up there
with my mama.
268
00:17:57,586 --> 00:17:59,206
That'll work.
269
00:17:59,206 --> 00:18:02,344
So I'm pretty settled
with everything back home.
270
00:18:02,344 --> 00:18:05,793
And I really don't got
nothing to worry about.
271
00:18:10,413 --> 00:18:13,000
I'ma take a little break
from that
272
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:14,724
and catch y'all
in a little while.
273
00:18:34,241 --> 00:18:36,586
Boy, I tell you, the--
274
00:18:36,689 --> 00:18:39,034
the [bleep] I don't get
on camera.
275
00:18:41,310 --> 00:18:43,172
But...
276
00:18:43,172 --> 00:18:47,206
here's my first grouse
I've ever killed in my life.
277
00:18:47,310 --> 00:18:51,448
I ain't gonna lie, I shot at
him, like, three, four times.
278
00:18:51,551 --> 00:18:53,758
I was so excited to seen him.
279
00:18:53,758 --> 00:18:57,344
I--
280
00:18:57,344 --> 00:18:59,448
Poom. Miss him.
281
00:18:59,551 --> 00:19:01,034
Ready?
282
00:19:01,034 --> 00:19:03,000
Poom. Miss him.
283
00:19:03,103 --> 00:19:05,793
I snuck around like I was
just gonna go around him,
284
00:19:05,896 --> 00:19:08,000
like I wasn't after him.
285
00:19:08,103 --> 00:19:09,758
Well, I closed the distance
that way.
286
00:19:09,862 --> 00:19:11,103
And when I did,
I just turned back
287
00:19:11,103 --> 00:19:12,517
and went, poom, like that.
288
00:19:12,517 --> 00:19:16,586
And boy, I centered it,
rolled him over.
289
00:19:16,586 --> 00:19:19,827
So first grouse.
290
00:19:22,172 --> 00:19:24,689
Now, here's
my other gaiter here.
291
00:19:27,517 --> 00:19:30,000
Now I'ma gonna grab ahold
of him
292
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,931
and give him a little yank...
293
00:19:32,034 --> 00:19:33,793
Just like that.
294
00:19:35,551 --> 00:19:40,655
Possible to use them as, uh,
arrow fletches.
295
00:19:43,586 --> 00:19:45,724
Oh, my belly.
296
00:19:50,758 --> 00:19:52,931
Man, my belly.
297
00:19:52,931 --> 00:19:56,931
I constantly burping too.
298
00:19:56,931 --> 00:19:59,206
I don't know what
that's all about.
299
00:20:03,379 --> 00:20:06,620
But I'm sure it's not good.
300
00:20:15,655 --> 00:20:17,482
That's what's gonna happen, though.
301
00:20:19,275 --> 00:20:21,931
When you playing
the starving game,
302
00:20:22,034 --> 00:20:25,310
you can watch yourself starve.
303
00:20:25,310 --> 00:20:27,965
But when you got something
going on in your belly
304
00:20:28,068 --> 00:20:29,896
and you don't know
what's going on,
305
00:20:29,896 --> 00:20:32,137
it's a lot more concerning.
306
00:20:40,896 --> 00:20:44,758
I'm scared to death that
I've caught some kind of...
307
00:20:44,758 --> 00:20:48,310
Beaver Fever, or beaver--
308
00:20:48,413 --> 00:20:52,620
God knows what out of
that damn creek over there.
309
00:20:52,620 --> 00:20:56,137
I hope and pray to God
it's not,
310
00:20:56,241 --> 00:21:01,517
because that could
get bad quick.
311
00:21:01,517 --> 00:21:03,379
Right above my belly button.
312
00:21:03,379 --> 00:21:05,551
It started out as a knot.
313
00:21:05,551 --> 00:21:08,137
It's progressed to a burning.
314
00:21:11,034 --> 00:21:12,758
And now it's a sharp pain.
315
00:21:15,620 --> 00:21:16,758
Ah.
316
00:21:16,862 --> 00:21:18,862
I don't really know
what's going on.
317
00:21:27,310 --> 00:21:29,310
Oh, I got lightheaded
on that one.
318
00:21:34,517 --> 00:21:37,482
All right.
319
00:21:37,482 --> 00:21:39,379
Later, my friends.
320
00:21:56,655 --> 00:21:59,931
I don't have
my picture hanging up.
321
00:22:00,034 --> 00:22:02,896
I need to get my picture
hanging up.
322
00:22:02,896 --> 00:22:04,344
I didn't want a photo.
323
00:22:04,344 --> 00:22:07,137
Yeah, I know what my loved ones
look like. I feel it.
324
00:22:07,137 --> 00:22:10,827
But I didn't want to come
without anything cool.
325
00:22:13,206 --> 00:22:15,793
Ta-da!
326
00:22:17,275 --> 00:22:19,827
The grandkids drew this for me.
327
00:22:19,827 --> 00:22:24,896
Elina, age 10, drew this.
328
00:22:24,896 --> 00:22:30,724
James, also known as "Monster,"
drew my house.
329
00:22:30,724 --> 00:22:35,482
So this is my life
in a nutshell; bears and home.
330
00:22:35,482 --> 00:22:36,896
I miss 'em all.
331
00:22:36,896 --> 00:22:40,103
But I'm doing this
to better us.
332
00:22:40,103 --> 00:22:41,310
A couple more months.
333
00:22:43,689 --> 00:22:46,241
All righty, back to work.
334
00:22:46,344 --> 00:22:47,793
Now that I have some bait,
335
00:22:47,793 --> 00:22:52,793
I am going to make
some gorge hooks.
336
00:22:52,793 --> 00:22:54,827
I'm gonna carve a couple up.
337
00:22:54,827 --> 00:22:58,103
And I'm gonna set them
on a long line in the lake,
338
00:22:58,206 --> 00:23:02,137
and get some type of passive
protein source going.
339
00:23:02,241 --> 00:23:04,586
Just looking
for the right stick.
340
00:23:04,689 --> 00:23:06,344
There we go.
341
00:23:06,344 --> 00:23:10,206
Now that I have
ptarmigan innards for bait,
342
00:23:10,310 --> 00:23:12,793
I am going to fish
this lake hard
343
00:23:12,793 --> 00:23:14,448
and hopefully catch
a bottomfish,
344
00:23:14,551 --> 00:23:17,206
you know, some pike,
some burbot.
345
00:23:17,206 --> 00:23:19,827
In case you're not familiar
with a gorge hook,
346
00:23:19,931 --> 00:23:22,482
you sharpen both ends.
347
00:23:22,586 --> 00:23:27,034
And a fish doesn't chew;
a fish just sucks it in.
348
00:23:27,034 --> 00:23:29,448
And so it goes in,
and then it twists,
349
00:23:29,448 --> 00:23:33,655
and it lodges down
inside of the fish.
350
00:23:33,655 --> 00:23:36,448
So going primitive.
351
00:23:36,448 --> 00:23:39,931
And primitive is sometimes
a little bit more brutal,
352
00:23:39,931 --> 00:23:44,000
but usually a very successful
way of fishing passively.
353
00:23:49,965 --> 00:23:51,103
Love them things.
354
00:23:52,103 --> 00:23:54,413
Back home, I have
a family of jays
355
00:23:54,517 --> 00:23:56,344
that I've been feeding
for years.
356
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,137
I hear ya.
357
00:24:00,137 --> 00:24:02,517
Ooh, that's on there good.
358
00:24:02,620 --> 00:24:04,586
See it?
359
00:24:04,689 --> 00:24:07,517
One of the biggest decisions
we made as a family
360
00:24:07,620 --> 00:24:09,689
was moving to Alaska.
361
00:24:09,689 --> 00:24:13,551
OK, gorge hook number one.
362
00:24:13,551 --> 00:24:16,379
We had two children,
at the time, living at home,
363
00:24:16,482 --> 00:24:17,965
in Central Oregon.
364
00:24:17,965 --> 00:24:20,379
We had a successful
masonry company.
365
00:24:20,379 --> 00:24:23,034
But we had found ourselves
366
00:24:23,137 --> 00:24:25,034
getting caught up
in a lifestyle
367
00:24:25,137 --> 00:24:27,448
of money was
the most important.
368
00:24:27,551 --> 00:24:31,655
And we were losing
the priority of our family.
369
00:24:31,655 --> 00:24:35,103
Living remote,
the first couple months,
370
00:24:35,206 --> 00:24:37,034
I can't believe
our marriage survived.
371
00:24:37,034 --> 00:24:39,758
I can't believe
we physically survived.
372
00:24:39,862 --> 00:24:43,275
We had to learn to--
to do it all on our own.
373
00:24:43,275 --> 00:24:45,448
Just do a couple more.
374
00:24:45,448 --> 00:24:46,758
But everything was about
375
00:24:46,862 --> 00:24:49,103
bringing the family
back together.
376
00:24:49,103 --> 00:24:51,137
It's a lot easier
to be focused on someone
377
00:24:51,137 --> 00:24:52,931
when you go sit around
a campfire
378
00:24:52,931 --> 00:24:56,137
and have a river
trickle behind you.
379
00:24:56,137 --> 00:24:59,172
The outdoors
just helped unify us.
380
00:24:59,172 --> 00:25:02,034
Everything was together
outside.
381
00:25:05,241 --> 00:25:09,482
That's what I have going,
gorge hooks.
382
00:25:09,586 --> 00:25:11,689
And that's pretty cool.
383
00:25:11,689 --> 00:25:14,655
I'm gonna get baited up.
384
00:25:14,655 --> 00:25:18,965
In Alaska, I started to become
at peace with myself as well,
385
00:25:18,965 --> 00:25:23,379
which has been an ongoing
battle my entire life.
386
00:25:25,137 --> 00:25:28,586
Where did I put my bait?
387
00:25:28,586 --> 00:25:32,000
I wrapped my bait
in spruce boughs.
388
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:33,379
Oop, there it is.
389
00:25:33,379 --> 00:25:34,586
Fell down again.
390
00:25:37,620 --> 00:25:40,827
Oh, my God!
391
00:25:40,827 --> 00:25:42,827
Did something come
and eat my bait?
392
00:25:45,724 --> 00:25:48,034
You ass[bleep]!
393
00:25:53,310 --> 00:25:55,310
Oh, my God!
394
00:25:55,310 --> 00:25:57,172
How's that even possible?
395
00:25:57,275 --> 00:25:59,758
No.
396
00:25:59,862 --> 00:26:02,862
Did something come
and eat my bait?
397
00:26:02,965 --> 00:26:04,896
This [bleep] was secure.
398
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,034
And I hung it.
399
00:26:07,034 --> 00:26:10,206
It had to have been
a damn bird.
400
00:26:10,206 --> 00:26:11,724
Canadian jays?
401
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,482
Well, they picked it clean.
402
00:26:15,586 --> 00:26:19,310
You ass[bleep]!
403
00:26:19,310 --> 00:26:21,103
Needed that bait.
404
00:26:23,275 --> 00:26:26,103
This is a bit
of a serious setback.
405
00:26:26,103 --> 00:26:30,068
Let me tend to my fire,
406
00:26:30,068 --> 00:26:32,965
calm the [bleep] down.
407
00:26:32,965 --> 00:26:34,655
I'm coming to the end
of my bird.
408
00:26:34,758 --> 00:26:39,172
And using some of my meat
for bait isn't an option.
409
00:26:39,172 --> 00:26:41,275
I need to eat that meat.
410
00:26:41,379 --> 00:26:43,206
I cannot believe
that happened.
411
00:26:43,206 --> 00:26:47,034
That was a lot of bait that
I desperately needed for fish.
412
00:26:49,758 --> 00:26:51,068
I'll figure it out.
413
00:26:51,172 --> 00:26:53,241
Stay positive
and figure it out.
414
00:26:53,241 --> 00:26:54,793
It's all I can do.
415
00:26:58,689 --> 00:27:01,965
I've spent my life
beating myself down.
416
00:27:01,965 --> 00:27:06,793
And it comes to life
when I make mistakes--
417
00:27:06,793 --> 00:27:09,758
See if I could flush
a grouse or ptarmigan
418
00:27:09,758 --> 00:27:13,241
out of this row of spruce.
419
00:27:13,241 --> 00:27:15,655
Out here,
when something goes wrong,
420
00:27:15,655 --> 00:27:19,275
it's going to bring
that battle to the forefront.
421
00:27:19,275 --> 00:27:23,068
If I don't improve on it
out here, it's gonna break me.
422
00:27:23,068 --> 00:27:24,724
What is that?
423
00:27:28,241 --> 00:27:29,758
Are those boletes?
424
00:27:29,862 --> 00:27:32,482
God, they're huge!
425
00:27:32,482 --> 00:27:34,862
Wow.
426
00:27:34,862 --> 00:27:37,275
I have never in my life
427
00:27:37,275 --> 00:27:41,310
come across a bolete batch
like this.
428
00:27:41,310 --> 00:27:43,172
I'm gorging myself
on mushrooms.
429
00:27:46,413 --> 00:27:50,241
Unbelievable.
430
00:27:50,344 --> 00:27:52,448
My daughter
and my granddaughter,
431
00:27:52,448 --> 00:27:56,310
they have picked up
behaviors from me...
432
00:27:56,413 --> 00:27:59,655
Oh, my God,
there's another bolete patch.
433
00:27:59,655 --> 00:28:03,931
The insecurity, the inability
to make a mistake.
434
00:28:03,931 --> 00:28:05,655
Unbelievable.
435
00:28:05,758 --> 00:28:10,517
I need to show them
that it's OK to make mistakes.
436
00:28:10,517 --> 00:28:12,413
It doesn't make you less than.
437
00:28:12,413 --> 00:28:15,413
In fact, it makes you stronger
that you could push through.
438
00:28:15,413 --> 00:28:17,793
Just keep trying.
Don't give up.
439
00:28:17,793 --> 00:28:20,206
That one's beautiful.
440
00:28:20,206 --> 00:28:22,275
Wow.
441
00:28:22,379 --> 00:28:24,241
Unbelievable!
442
00:28:24,241 --> 00:28:27,310
Large amount of food.
443
00:28:27,413 --> 00:28:32,896
I am focused on making sure
my thoughts stay positive.
444
00:28:32,896 --> 00:28:34,482
No luck on the birds.
445
00:28:34,482 --> 00:28:39,000
But we'll figure that out
later.
446
00:28:54,793 --> 00:28:57,034
Uh, I'm about to get up.
447
00:28:57,034 --> 00:29:00,275
Been lying around a lot today,
not feeling too good.
448
00:29:02,275 --> 00:29:06,103
I've got a burning
ball of fire in my belly.
449
00:29:08,517 --> 00:29:10,448
I got some worries
on my mind but--
450
00:29:19,344 --> 00:29:22,620
We'll see how they work out,
I guess.
451
00:29:22,724 --> 00:29:24,655
You can't plan on everything.
452
00:29:24,758 --> 00:29:27,413
You can't say, "Well, today
is a good day to feel bad"
453
00:29:27,413 --> 00:29:29,275
or "Today is a good day
to feel good."
454
00:29:29,379 --> 00:29:30,724
happens,
455
00:29:30,827 --> 00:29:33,275
and you just gotta deal
with it as you get to it.
456
00:29:33,275 --> 00:29:36,275
All right.
457
00:29:36,275 --> 00:29:39,689
Let's nibble on a little bit
of grouse.
458
00:29:39,689 --> 00:29:42,827
I'm not hungry at all.
459
00:29:42,827 --> 00:29:45,413
But I'm not gonna let it waste.
460
00:29:45,517 --> 00:29:49,862
There's so much more to see,
to do, to experience here.
461
00:29:49,862 --> 00:29:53,379
So I need
to keep pushing through.
462
00:29:53,379 --> 00:29:56,172
I'm just gonna go ahead
and force myself to eat.
463
00:30:14,620 --> 00:30:15,896
God.
464
00:30:19,586 --> 00:30:23,344
I will not kill nothing else
until this gets settled.
465
00:30:28,758 --> 00:30:30,551
All right.
466
00:30:32,241 --> 00:30:34,827
My stomach feels like [bleep].
467
00:30:34,931 --> 00:30:37,172
We're gonna go for us
a little walkabout.
468
00:30:37,172 --> 00:30:40,965
Maybe it'll stretch out
or something.
469
00:30:47,206 --> 00:30:49,793
Still burns.
470
00:30:49,793 --> 00:30:53,068
It's got me worried to death...
471
00:30:53,068 --> 00:30:55,793
If this is something serious.
472
00:30:55,793 --> 00:30:58,620
Oh, God.
473
00:31:00,896 --> 00:31:04,137
Makes it hard to walk.
474
00:31:04,137 --> 00:31:05,758
I'm gon' turn this off.
475
00:31:05,758 --> 00:31:08,551
I ain't gon' make y'all
watch me suffer.
476
00:31:25,896 --> 00:31:27,931
All right, guys.
477
00:31:29,862 --> 00:31:34,310
I'm gonna reveal...
478
00:31:34,310 --> 00:31:36,103
my worries that I've had
479
00:31:36,103 --> 00:31:37,275
for the last couple days
480
00:31:37,275 --> 00:31:39,413
because they're not
getting better.
481
00:31:41,172 --> 00:31:43,620
I've hid it...
482
00:31:43,724 --> 00:31:45,758
and it's embarrassing.
483
00:31:47,172 --> 00:31:50,310
But I haven't used
the bathroom in ten days.
484
00:31:53,379 --> 00:31:56,517
The burning pain,
it's not getting better.
485
00:31:56,620 --> 00:31:58,896
I mean, what am I gonna
get out of it?
486
00:31:58,896 --> 00:32:02,379
Possibly put in the hospital,
possibly surgery.
487
00:32:09,172 --> 00:32:10,689
This is one
of the hardest things
488
00:32:10,689 --> 00:32:13,206
I've ever done in my life.
489
00:32:17,344 --> 00:32:21,379
I'm throwing something away
that I'll never get back.
490
00:32:24,827 --> 00:32:26,931
This is Dusty.
491
00:32:27,034 --> 00:32:29,344
I'm officially tap--
492
00:32:29,448 --> 00:32:31,655
I'm officially tappin' out.
493
00:32:56,172 --> 00:32:59,862
I don't know if it's nerves
or what's going on,
494
00:32:59,862 --> 00:33:02,172
if I ate the wrong kind
of berries or something,
495
00:33:02,275 --> 00:33:06,896
but I haven't... went
to the bathroom in ten days.
496
00:33:08,137 --> 00:33:11,551
And I've got a ball of fire
right here.
497
00:33:11,551 --> 00:33:14,758
My wife said she didn't care
how long I stayed,
498
00:33:14,758 --> 00:33:17,965
just come home in one piece.
499
00:33:17,965 --> 00:33:21,413
And, uh,
I'd rather walk out now
500
00:33:21,413 --> 00:33:25,517
instead of y'all
carrying me out.
501
00:33:25,620 --> 00:33:28,551
I'll have to live
without the money.
502
00:33:28,551 --> 00:33:31,241
I have for 35 years.
503
00:33:31,241 --> 00:33:34,241
I'm just proud
that I've actually
504
00:33:34,241 --> 00:33:37,413
went on the adventure,
like, got out.
505
00:33:37,413 --> 00:33:40,137
This is the first time
I've ever been...
506
00:33:40,241 --> 00:33:43,551
anywheres in life.
507
00:33:43,655 --> 00:33:46,103
Uh, means a lot to me.
508
00:33:51,758 --> 00:33:54,172
I'm very glad that I come
out here to attempt this.
509
00:33:54,172 --> 00:33:56,103
I wish it would have
went better for me.
510
00:33:56,103 --> 00:33:57,965
But I don't need the money.
511
00:33:57,965 --> 00:34:01,068
As long as I got my family,
I'm happy.
512
00:34:01,068 --> 00:34:02,896
But this place,
513
00:34:02,896 --> 00:34:06,655
it's made me open my eyes
to a lot of stuff.
514
00:34:06,655 --> 00:34:08,482
You know, I always said,
"Where I was born,
515
00:34:08,482 --> 00:34:11,482
it's just
the perfect place for me."
516
00:34:11,482 --> 00:34:14,310
But I was living
in my dream world.
517
00:34:14,310 --> 00:34:15,655
This place is beautiful.
518
00:34:15,655 --> 00:34:17,206
It's just true wild.
519
00:34:17,310 --> 00:34:19,551
It shows me that there is
a lot more out there
520
00:34:19,551 --> 00:34:21,517
than just my home.
521
00:34:21,517 --> 00:34:23,206
I think, at least once a year,
522
00:34:23,310 --> 00:34:25,620
that me and my family
needs to make plans
523
00:34:25,724 --> 00:34:27,551
on going different places,
524
00:34:27,551 --> 00:34:29,206
seeing different things,
525
00:34:29,206 --> 00:34:31,034
and enjoying life
a little bit more.
526
00:34:31,137 --> 00:34:34,172
So I may have tapped,
527
00:34:34,172 --> 00:34:36,413
but I didn't lose.
528
00:35:09,103 --> 00:35:10,689
Oh, yeah, look at this.
529
00:35:10,689 --> 00:35:12,068
Do the happy dance
this morning.
530
00:35:12,068 --> 00:35:13,275
Whoo-hoo.
531
00:35:14,724 --> 00:35:16,862
Well, oh, down
to the bare buff
532
00:35:16,862 --> 00:35:19,586
and enjoy the sun.
533
00:35:19,689 --> 00:35:22,551
Oh, yeah.
534
00:35:22,551 --> 00:35:24,689
I got a nice bit of work
done with the stove.
535
00:35:24,689 --> 00:35:26,000
Really happy with that.
536
00:35:26,103 --> 00:35:28,000
Looking forward to grouse.
537
00:35:30,620 --> 00:35:32,862
Oh, yeah.
538
00:35:32,965 --> 00:35:35,034
Right now, I'm sweating more
'cause I'm working harder.
539
00:35:35,137 --> 00:35:37,586
And staying dry out here
is gonna be key
540
00:35:37,586 --> 00:35:38,931
for staying here long-term.
541
00:35:38,931 --> 00:35:40,241
You don't wanna get
no sores on your feet
542
00:35:40,241 --> 00:35:41,620
or anything, no chafes.
543
00:35:41,620 --> 00:35:43,206
I only got two pairs.
544
00:35:43,206 --> 00:35:45,896
And so I really enjoy
taking clothes off
545
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,275
and drying everything out
as much as I can.
546
00:35:48,275 --> 00:35:51,137
But it's also a mental thing.
547
00:35:51,241 --> 00:35:52,931
I'm not, like,
a overly religious person.
548
00:35:53,034 --> 00:35:54,344
I like to follow
certain customs and things
549
00:35:54,448 --> 00:35:56,310
that my grandmother taught me,
but...
550
00:36:06,827 --> 00:36:09,344
Oh, my legs is getting cold.
551
00:36:20,310 --> 00:36:22,758
I got a good food cache
up there on the hill.
552
00:36:22,862 --> 00:36:25,275
I'll get the grouse
in a second,
553
00:36:25,275 --> 00:36:27,965
do my cooking.
554
00:36:28,068 --> 00:36:29,793
Oh.
555
00:36:29,896 --> 00:36:31,586
What the frig?
556
00:36:31,689 --> 00:36:33,000
This, right here, is not
557
00:36:33,103 --> 00:36:35,034
something
I was expecting to see.
558
00:36:37,517 --> 00:36:38,931
Look at that.
559
00:36:38,931 --> 00:36:42,827
Feathers...
560
00:36:42,931 --> 00:36:44,758
feathers.
561
00:36:49,551 --> 00:36:51,275
Oh, my God.
562
00:36:51,379 --> 00:36:53,241
.
563
00:36:53,241 --> 00:36:54,413
Empty.
564
00:36:57,448 --> 00:36:59,275
Feathers.
565
00:37:01,172 --> 00:37:04,413
Greedy bugger.
Never left a scrap.
566
00:37:04,517 --> 00:37:06,724
Food, out here, I think
the only safe place
567
00:37:06,724 --> 00:37:08,172
is in your belly.
568
00:37:08,172 --> 00:37:09,551
It's one thing, getting food.
569
00:37:09,551 --> 00:37:13,103
But looking after it is
almost a bigger challenge.
570
00:37:13,206 --> 00:37:14,793
Sometimes I succeed.
571
00:37:14,793 --> 00:37:16,827
And I thought this was one
of the safest places I had.
572
00:37:37,931 --> 00:37:40,827
I think about how little
I've eaten over the last week.
573
00:37:40,931 --> 00:37:42,551
And I feel hungry.
574
00:37:42,551 --> 00:37:46,620
But I don't feel,
like, hunger pains.
575
00:37:46,620 --> 00:37:48,758
But I'm getting sick
of berries.
576
00:37:48,758 --> 00:37:50,965
I need some meat.
577
00:37:57,206 --> 00:38:00,275
Nothing, except a big tangle.
578
00:38:00,275 --> 00:38:03,275
I think something got in it
and got out.
579
00:38:06,517 --> 00:38:07,931
Pretty big disappointment.
580
00:38:12,413 --> 00:38:15,827
I'm going to move it
to another spot.
581
00:38:15,827 --> 00:38:18,655
I've gotta find
some deeper water, I think.
582
00:38:21,068 --> 00:38:25,068
My dad used to say,
"Life is a series of choices.
583
00:38:25,068 --> 00:38:29,034
"When something doesn't work,
you move on to something else.
584
00:38:29,034 --> 00:38:33,758
Never give up trying."
585
00:38:33,862 --> 00:38:36,172
My father was
a civil engineer.
586
00:38:36,275 --> 00:38:40,965
When I was a toddler, he would
take me to work with him.
587
00:38:40,965 --> 00:38:43,517
He'd be running a survey crew
through the woods,
588
00:38:43,517 --> 00:38:45,896
and he'd just turn me loose.
589
00:38:45,896 --> 00:38:48,310
I learned all
of the sounds of nature.
590
00:38:48,310 --> 00:38:50,241
I observed animals.
591
00:38:50,344 --> 00:38:52,586
Nice and easy.
592
00:38:52,689 --> 00:38:54,034
I'd come home with a pet...
593
00:38:54,137 --> 00:38:56,034
Like a fox.
594
00:38:56,034 --> 00:38:58,827
And my dad would let me hang
on to it for a little while.
595
00:38:58,827 --> 00:39:01,689
And then he'd say, "OK,
it's time to put 'em back."
596
00:39:01,689 --> 00:39:03,655
All right,
we'll see what happens.
597
00:39:03,655 --> 00:39:05,310
That's what laid
the foundation
598
00:39:05,310 --> 00:39:09,551
for pretty much everything
I enjoy in life.
599
00:39:09,551 --> 00:39:12,482
So I'm going
to leave it in overnight.
600
00:39:12,482 --> 00:39:17,551
It's a little bit deeper there
than in other places around me.
601
00:39:17,551 --> 00:39:20,931
All right. On to laundry.
602
00:39:26,586 --> 00:39:28,689
So what I'm gonna do
to wash my clothes,
603
00:39:28,793 --> 00:39:32,275
I'm just gonna boil 'em.
604
00:39:32,379 --> 00:39:34,068
I can't fit--
605
00:39:34,068 --> 00:39:36,068
I can't fit a sweater
in a two-quart pot.
606
00:39:36,068 --> 00:39:42,000
But I can wash my underwear
in there.
607
00:39:42,103 --> 00:39:46,172
I can't believe that I didn't
catch anything today.
608
00:39:46,275 --> 00:39:51,586
But you just...
go on to the next thing.
609
00:39:52,931 --> 00:39:56,103
My dad had
a deep understanding
610
00:39:56,103 --> 00:39:57,724
of the importance
611
00:39:57,724 --> 00:40:02,068
of letting somebody
scrape their knee, fall down,
612
00:40:02,172 --> 00:40:05,034
and pick themselves back up.
613
00:40:05,137 --> 00:40:07,241
This'll burn better.
614
00:40:07,241 --> 00:40:10,034
He didn't coddle me
615
00:40:10,034 --> 00:40:13,482
and encouraged me to go out
into the unknown.
616
00:40:13,482 --> 00:40:16,862
I forgot to bring gloves.
617
00:40:16,862 --> 00:40:19,241
I learned, in survival,
618
00:40:19,241 --> 00:40:22,137
things are never going to go
the way you plan.
619
00:40:24,896 --> 00:40:28,103
All right,
now we're finally boiling.
620
00:40:28,103 --> 00:40:31,137
So I think what I'll do
621
00:40:31,137 --> 00:40:33,206
is just drop them in there
for a minute.
622
00:40:41,586 --> 00:40:43,241
Aah, [bleep]!
623
00:40:49,965 --> 00:40:51,793
All right,
now we're finally boiling.
624
00:40:57,551 --> 00:40:59,827
Aah, [bleep]!
625
00:41:06,724 --> 00:41:09,206
Well, that was smart.
626
00:41:19,448 --> 00:41:21,034
Burned both hands.
627
00:41:25,068 --> 00:41:27,724
It's weird.
It, like, took the...
628
00:41:29,689 --> 00:41:31,517
Top layer of skin off.
629
00:41:34,517 --> 00:41:37,793
It's getting swollen.
630
00:41:37,896 --> 00:41:40,655
Kind of numb, actually.
631
00:41:43,379 --> 00:41:45,586
Usually when I take
my pot off of the fire,
632
00:41:45,689 --> 00:41:47,344
I use a leather glove.
633
00:41:47,344 --> 00:41:49,827
But I left my glove
up at camp.
634
00:41:49,827 --> 00:41:52,206
So I took a handful of grass
and wadded it up
635
00:41:52,206 --> 00:41:55,103
and used that as a oven mitt.
636
00:41:55,206 --> 00:41:58,275
When I did that,
the handle of my pot scorched
637
00:41:58,379 --> 00:42:00,896
its way through the grass
and into my hand.
638
00:42:00,896 --> 00:42:06,689
That made me spill that pot of
water straight onto my hand.
639
00:42:06,689 --> 00:42:08,620
All right.
640
00:42:10,896 --> 00:42:17,379
Lesson in... doing laundry
in the sticks is
641
00:42:17,379 --> 00:42:21,103
don't burn your frickin' hand.
642
00:42:21,206 --> 00:42:23,034
Stupid.
643
00:42:29,413 --> 00:42:30,862
Quit being such a baby, Jake.
644
00:42:35,689 --> 00:42:37,137
What's the matter, never you--
645
00:42:37,241 --> 00:42:39,551
never had a third-degree burn
before?
646
00:42:39,655 --> 00:42:41,758
Oh, man.
647
00:42:41,758 --> 00:42:45,931
This is gonna be
a lot of fun out here,
648
00:42:45,931 --> 00:42:48,241
trying to shoot my bow
with that.
649
00:42:48,344 --> 00:42:51,551
Pa-chow.
650
00:42:51,551 --> 00:42:55,103
One careless act.
651
00:42:55,206 --> 00:43:00,862
So I need to wrap pretty much
the whole half of my hand.
652
00:43:00,965 --> 00:43:04,551
My hand is really starting
to ache now.
653
00:43:04,655 --> 00:43:07,689
But I am not going
to stop working.
654
00:43:09,275 --> 00:43:11,586
What I learned most
from my dad
655
00:43:11,689 --> 00:43:15,310
is that it's OK
to be uncomfortable.
656
00:43:15,310 --> 00:43:20,448
And you're capable
of doing very difficult things
657
00:43:20,551 --> 00:43:24,000
if you just make the decision
that you can grit your teeth
658
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:29,482
and put up with pain
and put yourself aside.
659
00:43:29,586 --> 00:43:30,896
About seven years ago,
660
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:34,862
he went in
for a cataract surgery.
661
00:43:34,862 --> 00:43:37,689
And surgery went fine.
662
00:43:37,689 --> 00:43:40,862
And he was in
the recovery room.
663
00:43:40,862 --> 00:43:45,068
And his heart stopped.
664
00:43:45,068 --> 00:43:48,379
And I got a phone call
from my mom.
665
00:43:48,482 --> 00:43:50,931
And so I jumped in my car.
666
00:43:50,931 --> 00:43:54,103
And they were doing CPR
on him.
667
00:43:54,103 --> 00:43:56,724
And no matter what they did,
668
00:43:56,724 --> 00:44:01,551
they couldn't get him
jumpstarted again.
669
00:44:01,655 --> 00:44:05,517
After a half an hour of that,
my mom and I had a talk,
670
00:44:05,620 --> 00:44:10,655
and we told the doctors
to let him go.
671
00:44:10,655 --> 00:44:14,965
And I held my dad
while he passed away.
672
00:44:14,965 --> 00:44:18,551
And I think about
this situation that I'm in.
673
00:44:18,551 --> 00:44:21,758
And I want to be
my father's son.
674
00:44:21,758 --> 00:44:24,482
And so no matter what,
I'm just gonna tough it out.
675
00:44:24,482 --> 00:44:26,517
OK.
676
00:44:26,517 --> 00:44:28,827
Pretty demoralizing.
677
00:44:28,827 --> 00:44:34,689
Making mistakes out here
is not sustainable.
678
00:44:37,034 --> 00:44:40,793
But anyway,
I'm done thinking about it.
679
00:45:07,413 --> 00:45:09,137
This is my perch.
680
00:45:09,241 --> 00:45:12,793
It's as high as I can get
around here.
681
00:45:12,793 --> 00:45:14,862
And I come down
and I stand here.
682
00:45:14,862 --> 00:45:19,862
And I survey
everything around me,
683
00:45:19,862 --> 00:45:22,137
but especially over there,
684
00:45:22,137 --> 00:45:25,758
where a moose could be likely
to be...
685
00:45:29,758 --> 00:45:33,827
Across that waterway,
right over there.
686
00:45:36,206 --> 00:45:39,551
The feeling of defeat that
settled in was beyond words.
687
00:45:39,551 --> 00:45:41,896
I've never wanted
an animal in my life
688
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:44,862
as much as I wanted
that bull moose.
689
00:45:44,862 --> 00:45:47,241
To increase my chances
of getting a moose,
690
00:45:47,241 --> 00:45:50,275
I've been getting out
into the edges of the meadow,
691
00:45:50,275 --> 00:45:52,448
where I've seen
moose tracks cross.
692
00:45:55,241 --> 00:45:56,724
Instinct is just telling me,
693
00:45:56,724 --> 00:46:01,448
get there to where
the moose are every morning.
694
00:46:01,551 --> 00:46:04,724
Nothing. All's quiet.
695
00:46:04,724 --> 00:46:06,137
Hm.
696
00:46:08,620 --> 00:46:10,793
All right.
697
00:46:14,586 --> 00:46:18,689
My plan today is to try to get
a gill net in the water.
698
00:46:18,793 --> 00:46:20,241
There we go.
699
00:46:20,241 --> 00:46:22,379
I'm really gonna try to
harness the power of the river
700
00:46:22,482 --> 00:46:23,896
to bring me food.
701
00:46:23,896 --> 00:46:25,896
I believe that the river
could bring me as much meat
702
00:46:25,896 --> 00:46:27,965
as a moose carries
on its feet.
703
00:46:27,965 --> 00:46:31,344
So I'm going long on river
techniques and tactics
704
00:46:31,344 --> 00:46:36,172
and waiting for opportunities
on big game.
705
00:46:36,172 --> 00:46:38,344
Happy birthday, Elliot.
706
00:46:40,724 --> 00:46:45,689
This gill net, which
I'm making on your birthday,
707
00:46:45,793 --> 00:46:50,275
will be your part
of this adventure.
708
00:46:52,034 --> 00:46:53,275
And it'll be a good part.
709
00:46:53,379 --> 00:46:58,241
I have faith that this'll
really help to feed me.
710
00:46:58,241 --> 00:47:01,724
One big reason I want
to do this is for my kids.
711
00:47:01,724 --> 00:47:04,206
Levi's the oldest.
He's nine years old.
712
00:47:04,310 --> 00:47:07,241
Elliot is six years old.
He turned six today.
713
00:47:07,344 --> 00:47:09,413
One stitch at a time.
714
00:47:09,413 --> 00:47:11,896
This, right here,
takes a while.
715
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:14,241
My boys' view of me
scares me sometimes
716
00:47:14,344 --> 00:47:16,482
because, unfortunately,
they think I'm perfect.
717
00:47:16,586 --> 00:47:19,517
And I want my kids
to fully know me.
718
00:47:19,620 --> 00:47:21,413
I want them to be able
to see me
719
00:47:21,413 --> 00:47:24,344
in ways that they wouldn't
get to otherwise.
720
00:47:24,448 --> 00:47:26,517
We tend to hide our own
struggles from our kids
721
00:47:26,620 --> 00:47:29,103
because we're trying
to help them with theirs.
722
00:47:29,103 --> 00:47:31,896
And they may lose something
because of that.
723
00:47:31,896 --> 00:47:34,793
But I know
that I'll struggle out here.
724
00:47:34,896 --> 00:47:37,482
And I want them to see that.
725
00:47:37,482 --> 00:47:38,931
And I want them,
at the end of the day,
726
00:47:38,931 --> 00:47:40,517
to be made stronger by it,
727
00:47:40,517 --> 00:47:43,137
and know that
they fully know me
728
00:47:43,137 --> 00:47:46,724
and have seen me struggle and
fall flat on my face and fail,
729
00:47:46,724 --> 00:47:49,931
but get up
and face the next day.
730
00:47:51,344 --> 00:47:53,896
That's enough gillnetting
for tonight.
731
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:56,310
I didn't get it done.
A little disappointed.
732
00:47:56,413 --> 00:47:59,827
But I'm gonna go run
the fish lines and look around.
733
00:47:59,827 --> 00:48:01,724
Three more rows
to tie tomorrow.
734
00:48:04,689 --> 00:48:07,379
I'm just checking
some fish lines,
735
00:48:07,482 --> 00:48:10,379
quickly, before night.
736
00:48:10,379 --> 00:48:14,103
And I hope like crazy
to have a fish on one of 'em.
737
00:48:14,103 --> 00:48:16,310
But from here,
they all look slack.
738
00:48:20,586 --> 00:48:23,241
I didn't have
the camera rolling.
739
00:48:23,241 --> 00:48:26,655
Look at this baby!
740
00:48:29,034 --> 00:48:30,896
Yes!
741
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:32,862
He's huge.
742
00:48:32,862 --> 00:48:34,965
I love it!
743
00:48:37,448 --> 00:48:41,310
All right, let's check
these other lines.
744
00:48:41,310 --> 00:48:44,275
Oh, yeah,
there's a fish on there.
745
00:48:44,275 --> 00:48:45,586
Come to Papa.
746
00:48:45,689 --> 00:48:49,172
Come, come, come, come, come.
747
00:48:49,172 --> 00:48:51,724
Yes!
748
00:48:51,724 --> 00:48:53,793
Yeah!
749
00:48:53,793 --> 00:48:57,000
Thank you, Lord,
for this beautiful fish.
750
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:59,862
Tonight we feast.
751
00:48:59,965 --> 00:49:02,862
I'm almost overwhelmed
by how much food I just got
752
00:49:02,862 --> 00:49:04,689
in the last 30 minutes.
753
00:49:08,310 --> 00:49:10,172
Happy birthday, Elliot.
754
00:49:22,965 --> 00:49:24,758
Oh boy.
755
00:49:24,758 --> 00:49:27,206
I have a big nosebleed.
756
00:49:28,655 --> 00:49:34,241
And I'm trying
to collect it all
757
00:49:34,241 --> 00:49:37,344
until it stops so I can
throw the leaves in the fire,
758
00:49:37,448 --> 00:49:40,413
and the blood will not be here
to attract bears.
759
00:49:42,034 --> 00:49:45,310
It's weird. I haven't had
a nosebleed since I was a kid.
760
00:49:47,379 --> 00:49:49,620
Plug that baby up.
761
00:49:49,724 --> 00:49:51,344
The bears will smell it
and be like,
762
00:49:51,344 --> 00:49:54,000
"The hunter that lives here,
763
00:49:54,103 --> 00:49:59,206
"if he bleeds,
he can be killed.
764
00:49:59,310 --> 00:50:02,379
He's a mere mortal after all."
765
00:50:02,379 --> 00:50:06,206
All right,
I think it's stopping.
766
00:50:06,206 --> 00:50:08,758
Yeah, it might be stopped.
767
00:50:08,758 --> 00:50:11,241
OK, to work.
768
00:50:11,241 --> 00:50:14,034
I know what I shall do.
769
00:50:14,034 --> 00:50:16,206
Shelter logs.
770
00:50:18,275 --> 00:50:20,310
I have food security
for a couple days.
771
00:50:20,413 --> 00:50:21,827
So my instincts
are telling me that
772
00:50:21,827 --> 00:50:23,724
it's time to build a home.
773
00:50:23,827 --> 00:50:25,862
I have to finally
select a site
774
00:50:25,862 --> 00:50:28,448
that I'm gonna try
to put a shelter in here
775
00:50:28,448 --> 00:50:30,758
because it was a lot colder
last night.
776
00:50:30,758 --> 00:50:33,137
And a lot colder weather
will be coming soon.
777
00:50:33,137 --> 00:50:38,724
All right, it's time to start
cutting trees for my home.
778
00:50:38,724 --> 00:50:41,655
I considered so many different
shelter designs for this.
779
00:50:41,758 --> 00:50:43,620
And ultimately,
what it's governed by
780
00:50:43,620 --> 00:50:45,517
is the materials that I see.
781
00:50:47,413 --> 00:50:50,482
The materials that I see
are huge logs.
782
00:50:53,620 --> 00:50:57,068
So I'm gonna be making
a typical lean-to.
783
00:51:00,241 --> 00:51:02,448
That's not good for your back.
784
00:51:09,137 --> 00:51:10,413
You might ask me,
785
00:51:10,413 --> 00:51:14,172
"Timber, why are you using
such big trees?
786
00:51:14,172 --> 00:51:15,241
"Use smaller ones.
787
00:51:15,344 --> 00:51:19,068
They're more energy efficient
to cut."
788
00:51:19,172 --> 00:51:21,482
Well, you're right.
And I'd love to.
789
00:51:21,586 --> 00:51:25,827
There just aren't,
but, like, six,
790
00:51:25,827 --> 00:51:27,896
and I've cut them.
791
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:29,448
It's not the right way
to conserve energy.
792
00:51:29,448 --> 00:51:32,241
But it's what I have to do.
793
00:51:33,896 --> 00:51:36,896
I'm basically building
the attic of a cabin,
794
00:51:36,896 --> 00:51:42,103
with a wall in the back
that's gonna be my fireplace.
795
00:51:42,103 --> 00:51:44,000
As I'm building, I know
796
00:51:44,103 --> 00:51:47,689
that it's not smart
to use materials this big.
797
00:51:49,103 --> 00:51:51,827
But I know that my body
can build and build
798
00:51:51,931 --> 00:51:54,620
and build things
for a long time.
799
00:51:57,034 --> 00:51:59,689
From my upbringing,
we survived largely
800
00:51:59,793 --> 00:52:01,931
by what we could grow
in gardens.
801
00:52:02,034 --> 00:52:04,413
I remember
a couple of years that
802
00:52:04,517 --> 00:52:06,551
we had a seven-acre field
of corn.
803
00:52:06,551 --> 00:52:09,551
And two of my brothers
and I had to take hoes,
804
00:52:09,551 --> 00:52:12,103
just work
that seven-acre field,
805
00:52:12,103 --> 00:52:13,379
the whole seven acres,
806
00:52:13,379 --> 00:52:17,137
several times each summer
with a hoe.
807
00:52:17,137 --> 00:52:18,827
We're talking
seven-year-old boys,
808
00:52:18,931 --> 00:52:20,586
eight-year-old boys, you know?
809
00:52:20,586 --> 00:52:22,758
That's a daunting task.
810
00:52:22,758 --> 00:52:24,344
That'll teach you fortitude.
811
00:52:30,517 --> 00:52:35,931
Silas...
812
00:52:35,931 --> 00:52:39,344
if God'll let you see
what's going on down here...
813
00:52:45,103 --> 00:52:48,724
I wish you were right here
with me right now, dude.
814
00:52:50,965 --> 00:52:53,793
'Cause you'd really like
this land.
815
00:52:53,793 --> 00:52:58,620
My youngest brother drowned
in June 2001.
816
00:52:58,620 --> 00:53:03,448
And that became such a loss
for my family.
817
00:53:03,448 --> 00:53:05,275
One of the last things I did
with my little brother
818
00:53:05,275 --> 00:53:07,310
was take him deer hunting
and he killed his first deer
819
00:53:07,310 --> 00:53:10,793
with a recurve bow.
And he was so happy.
820
00:53:10,896 --> 00:53:14,551
We won't make another one
of those memories together.
821
00:53:14,551 --> 00:53:17,103
We won't go hunting again.
822
00:53:17,103 --> 00:53:19,724
So I have this struggle
going on in my mind.
823
00:53:19,724 --> 00:53:22,172
So I've got you here
in my heart, buddy.
824
00:53:25,172 --> 00:53:28,206
Couldn't ask
for a better brother than you.
825
00:53:33,172 --> 00:53:36,482
Here in the Arctic,
the solitude is different.
826
00:53:36,482 --> 00:53:38,931
And I've spent time
in very desolate places
827
00:53:39,034 --> 00:53:41,689
in the mountains
in Central Asia, very alone.
828
00:53:41,793 --> 00:53:43,724
But in the brain,
829
00:53:43,827 --> 00:53:46,793
it's different
than being here.
830
00:53:46,896 --> 00:53:49,172
Every barrier in your mind,
it crashes down.
831
00:53:49,275 --> 00:53:51,103
And you have to face things
832
00:53:51,103 --> 00:53:54,000
that you've never
processed fully.
833
00:53:54,103 --> 00:53:55,724
Thoughts out here will tear up
your mind
834
00:53:55,724 --> 00:53:57,793
'cause it's so quiet out here.
835
00:53:57,896 --> 00:53:59,413
And so I'm wrestling
with those.
836
00:53:59,517 --> 00:54:00,965
And I'm trying to put those
thoughts in the background.
837
00:54:00,965 --> 00:54:04,689
But at the end of the day,
that's tough.
838
00:54:04,793 --> 00:54:07,931
No one around to hear me...
839
00:54:08,034 --> 00:54:11,137
except God and the wilderness.
840
00:54:11,241 --> 00:54:14,275
Look at my fortress!
841
00:54:26,827 --> 00:54:29,758
Gotta redress my burn.
842
00:54:29,758 --> 00:54:33,000
I can't do 60%
of what I was doing.
843
00:54:33,586 --> 00:54:35,206
It's really important
844
00:54:35,206 --> 00:54:38,793
that stuff does not get
in there right now.
845
00:54:38,793 --> 00:54:41,965
If bacteria were to get
in there and I got infected,
846
00:54:41,965 --> 00:54:43,655
this show'd be over.
847
00:54:45,413 --> 00:54:50,655
Fighting infection out here
is pretty unlikely.
848
00:54:50,655 --> 00:54:53,517
OK.
849
00:54:53,620 --> 00:54:57,068
Fresh new mummy hand.
850
00:55:00,068 --> 00:55:02,379
Oh.
851
00:55:03,413 --> 00:55:06,655
All right, let's go see
if there's anything in the net.
852
00:55:08,793 --> 00:55:12,241
Having my hand burned,
I can't shoot my bow,
853
00:55:12,241 --> 00:55:17,310
which means that I really need
to rely on fish.
854
00:55:17,310 --> 00:55:18,758
When you step into nature,
855
00:55:18,862 --> 00:55:20,862
everything else is
stripped away
856
00:55:20,862 --> 00:55:24,000
and you are
a vulnerable animal.
857
00:55:24,103 --> 00:55:26,551
Having that ego
stripped away from me
858
00:55:26,551 --> 00:55:29,137
is how I can start
building from ground zero
859
00:55:29,137 --> 00:55:32,758
and become a better person.
860
00:55:32,758 --> 00:55:34,827
OK, fishies.
861
00:55:34,931 --> 00:55:37,931
Are you in here at all?
862
00:55:39,931 --> 00:55:41,551
I don't believe it.
863
00:55:41,551 --> 00:55:43,896
There's a pike in my net.
864
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:47,758
Oh, my gosh.
865
00:55:47,758 --> 00:55:51,482
Oh, there's two!
866
00:55:51,586 --> 00:55:53,034
Oh, my gosh!
867
00:55:56,068 --> 00:55:58,310
Holy crap.
868
00:55:58,310 --> 00:56:01,034
I am on such a high right now.
869
00:56:01,137 --> 00:56:02,034
Got him.
870
00:56:02,137 --> 00:56:05,931
My net finally produced.
871
00:56:05,931 --> 00:56:09,620
Look at that pike.
872
00:56:09,620 --> 00:56:12,689
That is food.
873
00:56:12,793 --> 00:56:15,586
I'm feeling really confident.
874
00:56:15,586 --> 00:56:19,655
That is a big boy.
875
00:56:19,655 --> 00:56:21,689
I'm gonna process these pike
876
00:56:21,689 --> 00:56:23,689
and put the net
back in the water
877
00:56:23,689 --> 00:56:25,724
and keep the fish coming in.
878
00:56:25,724 --> 00:56:30,931
All I had to do was move
my net to the right spot.
879
00:56:30,931 --> 00:56:34,310
This is awesome.
880
00:56:34,310 --> 00:56:36,379
This is a turning point
for me.
881
00:56:36,379 --> 00:56:39,275
Everything is going
to be different now.
882
00:56:41,586 --> 00:56:44,793
I'm just gonna do
a simple smoker.
883
00:56:47,206 --> 00:56:49,448
I just want to get these fish
smoked real quick
884
00:56:49,448 --> 00:56:52,448
'cause I am hungry.
885
00:56:52,448 --> 00:56:54,241
After my dad passed,
886
00:56:54,241 --> 00:56:57,827
I went through
a period of confusion,
887
00:56:57,827 --> 00:57:00,241
of stepping into the unknown.
888
00:57:00,241 --> 00:57:06,241
I went through a divorce,
a very dark period of my life.
889
00:57:06,344 --> 00:57:08,931
I had to make a decision.
890
00:57:08,931 --> 00:57:13,758
And that decision was,
who are you going to be?
891
00:57:13,758 --> 00:57:16,862
Are you going to be
your father's son?
892
00:57:16,862 --> 00:57:22,448
Or are you going
to let this beat you?
893
00:57:22,448 --> 00:57:25,000
It wasn't
an immediate decision.
894
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:30,172
It took me being able
to find my path again.
895
00:57:30,275 --> 00:57:34,517
And of all of my interests,
all of my hobbies,
896
00:57:34,517 --> 00:57:38,517
for me, fatherhood is
my life's purpose.
897
00:57:38,517 --> 00:57:41,586
Oh, look at the fat in that.
898
00:57:47,896 --> 00:57:49,172
My kids have watched me
899
00:57:49,172 --> 00:57:52,793
go through
some very trying times.
900
00:57:52,793 --> 00:57:56,241
This is so good.
901
00:57:56,241 --> 00:58:01,551
The reason that I'm out here
is because of how tough it is.
902
00:58:01,655 --> 00:58:04,896
And if they can see me do this
903
00:58:04,896 --> 00:58:07,586
and be successful,
904
00:58:07,689 --> 00:58:11,310
I don't think I could ever
ask for anything more valuable
905
00:58:11,310 --> 00:58:13,655
to teach my kids as a father.
906
00:58:13,758 --> 00:58:17,379
Mm, I've never gotten emotional
over food before.
907
00:58:20,379 --> 00:58:22,862
Today was a good day.
908
00:58:38,068 --> 00:58:39,896
Oh, yeah, look at that.
909
00:58:39,896 --> 00:58:42,241
Look at that, right there.
910
00:58:42,241 --> 00:58:43,862
That will strengthen me today.
911
00:58:43,862 --> 00:58:46,931
That's a good breakfast.
912
00:58:46,931 --> 00:58:49,344
Thank you, God,
for this delicious fish
913
00:58:49,344 --> 00:58:51,965
that you keep on giving me.
914
00:58:51,965 --> 00:58:54,517
Keep 'em coming.
915
00:58:54,517 --> 00:58:57,689
You know, when I take a minute
to not be stressed out
916
00:58:57,793 --> 00:59:00,344
about what has to be done
or whatever,
917
00:59:00,344 --> 00:59:03,862
I realize that things
are going really well.
918
00:59:03,862 --> 00:59:05,758
I've got meat.
919
00:59:05,862 --> 00:59:08,103
My shelter's well on its way
to completion.
920
00:59:08,103 --> 00:59:10,931
And I'm still alone
in the Arctic.
921
00:59:10,931 --> 00:59:12,482
And I love it.
922
00:59:15,931 --> 00:59:18,620
This is gonna be
another gorgeous day.
923
00:59:20,793 --> 00:59:26,000
It's a gift from God...
to prepare for winter.
924
00:59:28,482 --> 00:59:30,379
Gonna make the best of it.
925
00:59:35,172 --> 00:59:37,517
Sounded like the gait
of a moose.
926
01:00:07,965 --> 01:00:11,517
I heard something
walking right out here.
927
01:00:11,620 --> 01:00:15,068
And then the owl tried
to chase me away again.
928
01:00:15,172 --> 01:00:20,206
So I threw a few sticks off
at it to shoo it off.
929
01:00:20,206 --> 01:00:22,655
And I'ma peek my head out here
and see what's out here,
930
01:00:22,655 --> 01:00:24,103
if anything.
931
01:00:24,103 --> 01:00:25,482
I definitely heard something.
932
01:00:41,379 --> 01:00:43,206
Oh, my goodness.
933
01:00:43,310 --> 01:00:47,517
I see a moose,
over in the far distance.
934
01:00:47,517 --> 01:00:49,827
There. It's right there.
935
01:00:52,172 --> 01:00:54,172
Yeah, it's just standing
there right now.
936
01:02:43,655 --> 01:02:46,172
God, please help me
kill this moose now.
937
01:03:02,689 --> 01:03:04,482
I think this smoke's starting
to make my head
938
01:03:04,482 --> 01:03:06,482
go a little bit wrong.
939
01:03:06,482 --> 01:03:09,482
- What the heck?
940
01:03:11,103 --> 01:03:13,137
Hey.
941
01:03:14,137 --> 01:03:15,586
Oh, my God.
942
01:03:15,689 --> 01:03:17,551
It's about
60 yards away right now.
943
01:03:17,551 --> 01:03:20,241
Everything for me this season
could come down to this.
944
01:03:21,586 --> 01:03:25,241
- They're really close.
945
01:03:25,344 --> 01:03:26,793
I don't want to get
my face eaten off.
