that I was dropped

was a north-facing bowl,

and all bogs,

when we ate the cupcake,
inside of it was a number

1047

that correlated
with which spot we got,

1048
00:56:08,675 --> 00:56:09,607

there's some nice form there.

1086
00:57:44,184 --> 00:57:46,773
So the stick
was actually just my--

1087
00:57:46,877 --> 00:57:48,741
my humane dispatching stick.

1088
00:57:48,844 --> 00:57:51,088
I was gonna use it
to smack fish

1089
00:57:51,191 --> 00:57:53,918

for a humane kill.

the biting flies

1091

I don't know,

1092

I've swallowed today...

1096
00:58:05,585 --> 00:58:07,276
I don't even need to be fishing
right now.

1097
00:58:07,380 --> 00:58:09,313
I mean, they were tearing up
my neck.

1098
00:58:09,416 --> 00:58:11,315
- Amós, how were those bugs

1099
00:58:11,418 --> 00:58:13,006
the first few weeks
you were out there?

1100
00:58:13,110 --> 00:58:15,733
- The first couple weeks,
there were a bunch of bugs.

1101
00:58:15,837 --> 00:58:18,046
They would get in your eyes,
in your ears,

1102
00:58:18,149 --> 00:58:19,910
in your mouth,
in your nostrils.

1103
00:58:20,013 --> 00:58:23,258
- Yeah, biting flies
and these biting gnats too.

1104
00:58:23,361 --> 00:58:25,743
I had big old welts
all over my belly.

1105
00:58:25,847 --> 00:58:29,782
- Okay, Correy, how did you
feel about your specific site

1106
00:58:29,885 --> 00:58:31,231
and your location?

1107
00:58:31,335 --> 00:58:33,924
- My location was kind of
a big surprise.

1108
00:58:34,027 --> 00:58:36,582
I had these big plans
for bow hunting

1109
00:58:36,685 --> 00:58:40,517
and big plans for fishing
off the shore with a hand line,

1110
00:58:40,620 --> 00:58:42,588
and when I got dropped,

1111
00:58:42,691 --> 00:58:45,660
it turns out
that my shoreline--

1112
00:58:45,763 --> 00:58:48,352
I had a little cove
that was very shallow,

1113
00:58:48,455 --> 00:58:50,699
and I couldn't really get
a hand line casted out there,

1114
00:58:50,803 --> 00:58:53,115
and the only other areas
that I had to fish

1115
00:58:53,219 --> 00:58:54,220
were really steep,

1116
00:58:54,323 --> 00:58:57,326
on some very slippery,
wet rocks.

1117
00:58:57,430 --> 00:58:58,983
I don't know, my area
was a lot more challenging

1118
00:58:59,087 --> 00:59:00,053
than I thought.

1119
00:59:00,157 --> 00:59:02,677
- But once you constructed
that gill net,

1120
00:59:02,780 --> 00:59:04,402
things started to turn
for you a little bit.

1121
00:59:04,506 --> 00:59:06,404
Seemed like you were doing
pretty good, right?

1122
00:59:06,508 --> 00:59:08,545
- The gill net was kind of
a last resort.

1123
00:59:08,648 --> 00:59:10,719
I whipped up the gill net
out of some paracord,

1124
00:59:10,823 --> 00:59:13,239
and that's when I started
securing fish.

1125
00:59:13,342 --> 00:59:16,725
- With the gill net, things
seemed to be going pretty good,

1126
00:59:16,829 --> 00:59:19,452
but then boom,
you twist your knee.

Suddenly your entire experience
changes.

1128
00:59:23,180 --> 00:59:24,664
- When it first happened,

1129
00:59:24,768 --> 00:59:27,702
I really didn't think much
about it.

1130
00:59:27,805 --> 00:59:29,807
I just kind of--
it was a little uncomfortable,

1131
00:59:29,911 --> 00:59:31,326
and I thought, ah,
that didn't feel real great,

1132
00:59:31,429 --> 00:59:33,293
but we'll just push on
and keep an eye on it,

1133
00:59:33,397 --> 00:59:35,261
and it really started
to get bad.

1134
00:59:35,364 --> 00:59:36,642
It was only a few days after

1135
00:59:36,745 --> 00:59:39,437
that my knee started to fill
full of fluid,

1136
00:59:39,541 --> 00:59:41,198
and a few nights after that,

1137
00:59:41,301 --> 00:59:43,821
I started to get sort of
feverish in my sleep.

1138
00:59:43,925 --> 00:59:47,376

What happened
once you got home?

1143
00:59:56,558 --> 00:59:58,836

to the hospital in Canada.

1144
00:59:58,940 --> 00:59:59,941
They flew me out.

1145
01:00:00,044 --> 01:00:01,805
They gave me
some anti-inflammatories,

1146

got me rested up
for a few days,

1147
01:00:03,703 --> 01:00:05,947
and I flew back to the States.

1148
01:00:06,050 --> 01:00:08,190
The knee was a torn meniscus

1149
01:00:08,294 --> 01:00:10,434
and a partially torn MCL,

1150
01:00:10,537 --> 01:00:13,161

exercise therapy

things like this happen,

you can do about it,

You had to watch every step,

1179
01:01:10,805 --> 01:01:14,671

is very difficult to navigate.

what happened to you, Correy,

1183
01:01:19,296 --> 01:01:21,332
because you're so talented

1184
01:01:21,436 --> 01:01:22,748
and have a great head
on your shoulders,

1185
01:01:22,851 --> 01:01:24,197
and I know you would have done
so well,

1186
01:01:24,301 --> 01:01:26,683
and that could have easily
happened to any of us,

1187
01:01:26,786 --> 01:01:27,994
and I know for me,

1188
01:01:28,098 --> 01:01:29,996
I was constantly walking slow.

1189
01:01:30,100 --> 01:01:33,448
I noticed I changed
how I walked out there.

1190
01:01:33,551 --> 01:01:35,692
It's no walk in the park.

1191
01:01:35,795 --> 01:01:37,038
- Excellent.

1192
01:01:37,141 --> 01:01:39,419
Correy, any regrets
from your experience at all?

1193
01:01:39,523 --> 01:01:41,318
- Really--I don't know.

1194
01:01:41,421 --> 01:01:45,840
I just--I'm sad that it went
the way that it did.

1195
01:01:45,943 --> 01:01:47,358

to do well out there,

1198
01:01:51,190 --> 01:01:54,296

1199
01:01:54,400 --> 01:01:55,850
