1
00:00:24,883 --> 00:00:26,603
MAN: We're halfway to the South Pole.

2
00:00:26,603 --> 00:00:28,163
We're gonna be totally alone.

3
00:00:29,323 --> 00:00:31,923
WOMAN: It's Tasmania. It's cold, it's rain, it's snow.

4
00:00:33,683 --> 00:00:36,563
WOMAN 2: We're all going to leave changed forever.

5
00:00:39,043 --> 00:00:40,603
Holy fuck.

6
00:00:40,603 --> 00:00:42,203
What is this place?

7
00:00:42,203 --> 00:00:44,443
MAN: What have I gotten myself into?

8
00:00:44,443 --> 00:00:45,443
MAN 2: Yeah!

9
00:00:47,163 --> 00:00:49,643
MAN: We have to document this whole experience,

10
00:00:49,643 --> 00:00:51,803
while trying to survive at the same time.

11
00:00:51,803 --> 00:00:53,323
Ha-ha.

12
00:00:53,323 --> 00:00:54,643
Check it out.

13
00:00:56,083 --> 00:00:58,683
Like, 60k winds.

14
00:00:58,683 --> 00:01:00,843
MAN: Mother Nature's kicking my arse.

15
00:01:00,843 --> 00:01:02,283
Whoa-argh!

16
00:01:02,283 --> 00:01:03,603
WOMAN: Did you hear that?

17
00:01:03,603 --> 00:01:04,643
(CREATURES GROWL)

18
00:01:07,243 --> 00:01:10,723
MAN: This experience is just as much a mind game

19
00:01:10,723 --> 00:01:13,123
as it is a survival game. (CRYING)

20
00:01:13,123 --> 00:01:15,123
MAN 2: Ah, we got dinner!

21
00:01:18,123 --> 00:01:19,923
Ah, you FUCKER!

22
00:01:19,923 --> 00:01:20,923
Yum!

23
00:01:23,563 --> 00:01:26,363
I'm suddenly going downhill, very, very fast.

24
00:01:26,363 --> 00:01:27,763
Whoa!

25
00:01:27,763 --> 00:01:29,523
(TEARFULLY) Oh, my heart!

26
00:01:31,323 --> 00:01:34,723
WOMAN: A $250,000 prize would change my life.

27
00:01:34,723 --> 00:01:36,043
Whoa. Sinking!

28
00:01:36,043 --> 00:01:37,883
MAN: I'm not out here for coming first

29
00:01:37,883 --> 00:01:39,403
if it means I'm gonna kill myself.

30
00:01:39,403 --> 00:01:41,803
I like you, Tasmania! (VOICE ECHOES)

31
00:02:27,883 --> 00:02:30,123
We're about to be dropped into the wilderness,

32
00:02:30,123 --> 00:02:32,603
far from everyone we know and love,

33
00:02:32,603 --> 00:02:35,123
to survive against all the odds.

34
00:02:36,803 --> 00:02:39,003
We're strangers in a strange land.

35
00:02:39,003 --> 00:02:41,363
Wow! What?

36
00:02:41,363 --> 00:02:42,803
This is wild!

37
00:02:44,803 --> 00:02:47,563
Do you know that feeling, when, like fear and excitement

38
00:02:47,563 --> 00:02:49,963
are so next to each other that you don't know which is which?

39
00:02:53,683 --> 00:02:56,363
This is going to be the hardest thing any of us have ever done.

40
00:02:56,363 --> 00:02:58,563
Oh, that's muddy.

41
00:02:58,563 --> 00:03:00,603
(GROANS) Come on!

42
00:03:01,923 --> 00:03:04,403
We are completely and utterly alone out here.

43
00:03:05,763 --> 00:03:07,163
What have I done?

44
00:03:10,763 --> 00:03:13,363
The only food we can eat is stuff that we catch.

45
00:03:13,363 --> 00:03:15,203
WOMAN: You ready?

46
00:03:15,203 --> 00:03:17,203
No. I don't think anyone could be ready.

47
00:03:17,203 --> 00:03:18,723
We have to live off the land.

48
00:03:21,523 --> 00:03:23,643
Wow.

49
00:03:23,643 --> 00:03:26,403
I am speechless. It's scary beautiful.

50
00:03:26,403 --> 00:03:29,923
I want to acknowledge the traditional owners of the land,

51
00:03:29,923 --> 00:03:31,243
the palawa people.

52
00:03:40,243 --> 00:03:41,803
There's no crew.

53
00:03:41,803 --> 00:03:43,403
There's no producers.

54
00:03:43,403 --> 00:03:45,643
There's zero contact with the outside world.

55
00:03:45,643 --> 00:03:48,603
I can't believe that I'm getting to do this.

56
00:03:48,603 --> 00:03:50,563
This is going to be so good,

57
00:03:50,563 --> 00:03:53,003
and so bad, probably at the same time.

58
00:03:53,003 --> 00:03:54,443
Now that I'm out here,

59
00:03:54,443 --> 00:03:56,283
and I see how difficult the terrain is to walk through...

60
00:03:57,883 --> 00:04:00,203
I was preparing for the worst case.

61
00:04:00,203 --> 00:04:01,563
As Mike Tyson says,

62
00:04:01,563 --> 00:04:03,763
"Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face."

63
00:04:06,683 --> 00:04:08,643
The west coast of Tasmania is well known

64
00:04:08,643 --> 00:04:10,403
for its harsh weather conditions.

65
00:04:15,843 --> 00:04:18,603
And it is one of the toughest places in Australia to survive.

66
00:04:18,603 --> 00:04:20,643
Holy shit.

67
00:04:20,643 --> 00:04:22,443
Oh!

68
00:04:22,443 --> 00:04:24,043
My new home.

69
00:04:24,043 --> 00:04:25,443
Oh, my God.

70
00:04:30,563 --> 00:04:32,763
It's a fight between nature and yourself,

71
00:04:32,763 --> 00:04:36,083
and that is a very hard thing to come out on top with.

72
00:04:37,483 --> 00:04:40,083
That's c-c-c-c-c-cold!

73
00:04:40,083 --> 00:04:42,283
It's hard country, it's gonna be very hard country,

74
00:04:42,283 --> 00:04:45,443
but this is gonna be home for the next couple of months.

75
00:04:45,443 --> 00:04:48,443
With my skill set, I do have what it takes to win this.

76
00:04:48,443 --> 00:04:50,523
The adventure begins.

77
00:04:53,243 --> 00:04:56,283
We're only allowed to bring 10 items with us on this journey,

78
00:04:56,283 --> 00:04:59,163
and I tried to choose my 10 items based on things

79
00:04:59,163 --> 00:05:00,043
that I would normally take bush anyway.

80
00:05:00,043 --> 00:05:01,283
that I would normally take bush anyway.

81
00:05:01,283 --> 00:05:03,403
Here we are.

82
00:05:03,403 --> 00:05:07,563
Things like my axe, my saw, my knife, sleeping bag.

83
00:05:07,563 --> 00:05:10,043
Going, going...

84
00:05:10,043 --> 00:05:11,403
..gone.

85
00:05:14,683 --> 00:05:16,603
Whoa. Here we go.

86
00:05:16,603 --> 00:05:18,443
I'm prepared to stay out there for 90 days.

87
00:05:18,443 --> 00:05:20,243
All my stuff on my back.

88
00:05:21,363 --> 00:05:22,723
See you guys!

89
00:05:22,723 --> 00:05:24,363
But what if that's not enough?

90
00:05:24,363 --> 00:05:26,563
I'm not gonna tap out at 90 days 'cause it's 91.

91
00:05:28,843 --> 00:05:30,363
Dear Lord Jesus,

92
00:05:30,363 --> 00:05:34,003
thank you for your beautiful country down here that you've created.

93
00:05:40,443 --> 00:05:41,763
We can tap out any time,

94
00:05:41,763 --> 00:05:44,443
but as soon as you press that button, you're tapped out.

95
00:05:44,443 --> 00:05:46,483
It's the end of the game.

96
00:05:46,483 --> 00:05:50,043
There's a $250,000 prize for the last person standing.

97
00:05:50,043 --> 00:05:52,203
How you goin'?

98
00:05:52,203 --> 00:05:53,363
(LAUGHS)

99
00:05:53,363 --> 00:05:54,883
That'll be mine soon.

100
00:05:59,083 --> 00:06:02,043
This is a mind game as much as a survival game.

101
00:06:02,043 --> 00:06:03,403
Landed.

102
00:06:03,403 --> 00:06:04,603
I don't know.

103
00:06:05,883 --> 00:06:08,203
Mental toughness will be the winner.

104
00:06:09,203 --> 00:06:10,643
See you in two years!

105
00:06:16,523 --> 00:06:18,363
Hello? (VOICE ECHOES)

106
00:06:25,203 --> 00:06:27,163
Nothing but silence. That's what we want.

107
00:06:48,843 --> 00:06:50,723
What do you reckon? It's so good, eh?

108
00:06:53,843 --> 00:06:56,043
You beauty! Ha-ha!

109
00:06:57,923 --> 00:06:59,843
So, I'm from Tassie.

110
00:06:59,843 --> 00:07:01,923
You guys probably know this already.

111
00:07:01,923 --> 00:07:03,363
Get out of the swamp here.

112
00:07:03,363 --> 00:07:05,043
Whoa, whoa, whoa.

113
00:07:05,043 --> 00:07:06,363
Jesus.

114
00:07:08,723 --> 00:07:09,683
Oh!

115
00:07:11,203 --> 00:07:12,163
Whoa!

116
00:07:15,603 --> 00:07:17,763
It's pretty, pretty bloody serious, that shit.

117
00:07:19,563 --> 00:07:23,243
And, um, yeah, come along with me on this little journey,

118
00:07:23,243 --> 00:07:25,083
this challenge.

119
00:07:25,083 --> 00:07:26,803
Spirits are high.

120
00:07:28,003 --> 00:07:31,243
It's going to get dark, and nasty, and emotional,

121
00:07:31,243 --> 00:07:33,763
at times, but...

122
00:07:35,923 --> 00:07:38,043
..you and me, we'll work through it, alright?

123
00:07:39,523 --> 00:07:41,323
Ha-ha! You beauty!

124
00:07:41,323 --> 00:07:46,563
I definitely think I've got more skills than the average person.

125
00:07:46,563 --> 00:07:48,843
I do a lot of outdoor stuff,

126
00:07:48,843 --> 00:07:51,563
you know, diving and spear-fishing.

127
00:07:51,563 --> 00:07:53,323
I catch a lot of my food.

128
00:07:53,323 --> 00:07:54,963
Let's chuck a bit of fish on.

129
00:07:57,483 --> 00:07:59,083
It's not a bad diet, is it?

130
00:07:59,083 --> 00:08:00,763
Scallops and crayfish,

131
00:08:00,763 --> 00:08:02,603
sea urchins, abalone.

132
00:08:02,603 --> 00:08:03,683
MAN: Bloody beautiful.

133
00:08:04,763 --> 00:08:06,643
Come on, come on.

134
00:08:08,523 --> 00:08:09,923
Good boy. Here!

135
00:08:09,923 --> 00:08:13,443
Being completely alone, I don't think's going to be a problem.

136
00:08:13,443 --> 00:08:15,803
Come on!

137
00:08:15,803 --> 00:08:17,123
Here. Good boy! There you go.

138
00:08:17,123 --> 00:08:19,843
Yeah, it is just myself and Billy, my dog.

139
00:08:19,843 --> 00:08:22,723
I don't have a partner or children and that.

140
00:08:22,723 --> 00:08:25,883
Oh, you know, I used to be in the army for many years.

141
00:08:25,883 --> 00:08:27,923
I'm a veteran of the Iraq war.

142
00:08:27,923 --> 00:08:30,323
I joined the military quite young,

143
00:08:30,323 --> 00:08:33,883
and, you know, that gave me the skills to sort of just keep going

144
00:08:33,883 --> 00:08:35,163
and going and going.

145
00:08:35,163 --> 00:08:36,883
The ultimate goal is to win.

146
00:08:36,883 --> 00:08:39,363
I don't want to miss out on any time out there.

147
00:08:39,363 --> 00:08:41,363
you know, I want that full experience.

148
00:08:41,363 --> 00:08:43,923
Let's say goodbye, mate. Come on. Here, come on.

149
00:08:43,923 --> 00:08:45,683
I don't want to leave any what-ifs.

150
00:08:45,683 --> 00:08:48,283
To be there from day one to day end.

151
00:08:49,563 --> 00:08:51,003
Good boy.

152
00:08:51,003 --> 00:08:52,603
I'm gonna go now, alright?

153
00:08:54,843 --> 00:08:56,843
I reckon,

154
00:08:56,843 --> 00:08:59,923
probably get some rain, but might have a quick walk,

155
00:08:59,923 --> 00:09:01,683
for, I don't know, 10 minutes...

156
00:09:03,043 --> 00:09:04,923
..into the abyss.

157
00:09:04,923 --> 00:09:07,163
Every minute I'm here without a shelter

158
00:09:07,163 --> 00:09:08,723
is a very big gamble.

159
00:09:14,083 --> 00:09:15,763
Man, it's thick.

160
00:09:15,763 --> 00:09:17,683
It's really thick bush.

161
00:09:18,843 --> 00:09:20,843
(BREATHES HEAVILY)

162
00:09:25,723 --> 00:09:27,883
How's that? I take like,

163
00:09:27,883 --> 00:09:30,483
what, seven or eight steps,

164
00:09:30,483 --> 00:09:32,283
and this is what it looks like.

165
00:09:32,283 --> 00:09:34,363
Some really big, dangerous trees.

166
00:09:38,843 --> 00:09:41,003
There's a bit of flat ground here, though.

167
00:09:41,003 --> 00:09:43,043
I reckon I'll, uh,

168
00:09:43,043 --> 00:09:45,443
clear a bit of foliage in there,

169
00:09:45,443 --> 00:09:47,363
and chuck a tent up.

170
00:09:49,363 --> 00:09:51,363
(SINGS TO HIMSELF)

171
00:09:53,123 --> 00:09:55,283
(WHISTLES A TUNE)

172
00:09:55,283 --> 00:09:57,323
I've come up with a little bit of a strategy,

173
00:09:57,323 --> 00:10:00,043
and I think while I've got a bit of weight on me, and a bit of energy,

174
00:10:00,043 --> 00:10:00,643
and I think while I've got a bit of weight on me, and a bit of energy,

175
00:10:00,643 --> 00:10:03,603
I'll just crack onto the shelter straightaway,

176
00:10:03,603 --> 00:10:06,483
and then, once that's done and dusted,

177
00:10:06,483 --> 00:10:07,923
we'll start chasing some food.

178
00:10:10,563 --> 00:10:11,803
OK.

179
00:10:11,803 --> 00:10:13,723
That's gonna go all the way up here.

180
00:10:13,723 --> 00:10:15,523
It's gonna be my little house.

181
00:10:16,803 --> 00:10:18,523
Just noticed something.

182
00:10:18,523 --> 00:10:19,723
Check this out.

183
00:10:21,763 --> 00:10:23,283
What the hell is that?

184
00:10:30,403 --> 00:10:31,443
Hmm.

185
00:10:36,043 --> 00:10:37,883
Wasps-sps-sps-sps.

186
00:10:40,283 --> 00:10:41,923
Oh, well.

187
00:10:41,923 --> 00:10:43,443
Looks like they were here first.

188
00:10:49,003 --> 00:10:50,163
Oh.

189
00:10:50,163 --> 00:10:52,283
I just had one... I literally just had a...

190
00:10:52,283 --> 00:10:53,443
Whoa!

191
00:10:58,923 --> 00:11:02,723
I'm going to lift that up a bit so I can collect some water.

192
00:11:02,723 --> 00:11:04,323
Who knows? I might even stay here.

193
00:11:04,323 --> 00:11:06,003
This is not a bad spot...

194
00:11:09,083 --> 00:11:10,363
..except for the waspies.

195
00:11:27,483 --> 00:11:29,643
So, I've just, only just come...

196
00:11:30,883 --> 00:11:33,203
..into the bush, where I've been dropped off by the boat...

197
00:11:34,283 --> 00:11:36,323
..and I can hear something moving around up here.

198
00:11:42,643 --> 00:11:44,203
Might be a little wallaby or something.

199
00:11:52,403 --> 00:11:55,123
Nothing can prepare you for lutruwita,

200
00:11:55,123 --> 00:11:58,083
but I just keep in mind and keep telling myself

201
00:11:58,083 --> 00:12:00,403
that, you know, palawa and pakana people

202
00:12:00,403 --> 00:12:02,163
have survived here for millennia.

203
00:12:08,283 --> 00:12:09,883
Oh, my mouth's so dry.

204
00:12:17,723 --> 00:12:20,083
So, before I do anything here,

205
00:12:20,083 --> 00:12:23,003
because I'm new to this place and I've never been here before...

206
00:12:26,723 --> 00:12:28,323
..it's important that I, um...

207
00:12:29,683 --> 00:12:31,363
..that I speak to this place

208
00:12:31,363 --> 00:12:34,403
uh, in my grandmother's language, in te reo Maori.

209
00:12:34,403 --> 00:12:37,883
And this is true in both Aboriginal culture and Maori culture,

210
00:12:37,883 --> 00:12:42,443
you know, protocol 101 for any First Nations person,

211
00:12:42,443 --> 00:12:44,363
really, around the world.

212
00:12:47,923 --> 00:12:50,563
And the wind just dropped right then, when I said that.

213
00:12:50,563 --> 00:12:52,763
This sun coming through here's beautiful.

214
00:14:22,243 --> 00:14:23,323
Hello, lake.

215
00:14:24,363 --> 00:14:25,323
Hello.

216
00:14:26,483 --> 00:14:28,323
Hello, trees.

217
00:14:28,323 --> 00:14:29,843
This is home.

218
00:14:33,203 --> 00:14:35,003
It's stark, it's wild,

219
00:14:35,003 --> 00:14:36,323
it's brilliant.

220
00:14:43,123 --> 00:14:45,283
And I want to take it all in now,

221
00:14:45,283 --> 00:14:46,883
because in...

222
00:14:50,083 --> 00:14:53,803
..in a week, and then in a month, and then in three months,

223
00:14:53,803 --> 00:14:56,123
all of these trees are going to be friends.

224
00:14:56,123 --> 00:14:58,043
This whole place,

225
00:14:58,043 --> 00:15:00,043
I'm going to know it as well as I know my own hand.

226
00:15:00,043 --> 00:15:00,603
I'm going to know it as well as I know my own hand.

227
00:15:00,603 --> 00:15:03,083
So, right now,

228
00:15:03,083 --> 00:15:06,603
I want to kind of revel in the newness.

229
00:15:06,603 --> 00:15:09,203
Oh, this moss feels amazing!

230
00:15:10,883 --> 00:15:14,403
This isn't about defeating nature or conquering the wilderness.

231
00:15:14,403 --> 00:15:16,803
If you go in with that kind of attitude,

232
00:15:16,803 --> 00:15:19,763
Mother Nature is going to slap you hard.

233
00:15:19,763 --> 00:15:23,323
The only way to truly be at home in the wild is to have humility,

234
00:15:23,323 --> 00:15:25,043
and to realise that nature is going to

235
00:15:25,043 --> 00:15:27,843
break every single one of us open.

236
00:15:32,323 --> 00:15:34,283
For me, it's about my own personal journey,

237
00:15:34,283 --> 00:15:37,043
learning how to be more deeply at home in the wild

238
00:15:37,043 --> 00:15:39,923
and letting wild nature teach me how to be.

239
00:15:41,243 --> 00:15:43,723
But I really have to get to work

240
00:15:43,723 --> 00:15:47,203
because that sun is going to go down really fast.

241
00:15:48,443 --> 00:15:49,963
OK.

242
00:15:49,963 --> 00:15:51,163
Time to get to work.

243
00:16:08,243 --> 00:16:10,083
Holy shit.

244
00:16:10,083 --> 00:16:12,523
It's like the craziest thing I've ever, ever done.

245
00:16:12,523 --> 00:16:14,163
I don't know what to do.

246
00:16:15,363 --> 00:16:16,683
Oh, my God.

247
00:16:22,003 --> 00:16:23,723
Oh, my God.

248
00:16:27,083 --> 00:16:30,883
I'm doing this because we have this idea of who we are.

249
00:16:30,883 --> 00:16:32,643
I know what I'm capable of.

250
00:16:32,643 --> 00:16:35,243
I've got tenacity. I'm stubborn.

251
00:16:37,403 --> 00:16:40,643
But then we're put in a situation where we're not with anybody

252
00:16:40,643 --> 00:16:42,403
and we can't talk to anybody.

253
00:16:42,403 --> 00:16:44,523
We have to deal with ourselves.

254
00:16:56,763 --> 00:17:00,043
I've never been truly alone ever in my life.

255
00:17:00,043 --> 00:17:03,963
I think I'm OK, but I won't know how prepared I am

256
00:17:03,963 --> 00:17:06,883
until I'm actually on the land.

257
00:17:06,883 --> 00:17:08,963
(BABY GURGLES) What do you want, darling?

258
00:17:08,963 --> 00:17:10,563
Well, my life is crazy busy.

259
00:17:10,563 --> 00:17:11,963
You do? You hungry?

260
00:17:11,963 --> 00:17:14,923
I've got people around me all the time.

261
00:17:14,923 --> 00:17:17,963
We do love camping and Nan's going on a big camp, isn't she?

262
00:17:17,963 --> 00:17:21,443
Katrina and I have been together for nearly 19 years,

263
00:17:21,443 --> 00:17:25,083
and we've got four boys and two granddaughters...

264
00:17:25,083 --> 00:17:27,843
Do you want to put that one on the plate for me?

265
00:17:27,843 --> 00:17:30,403
..and all these animals.

266
00:17:30,403 --> 00:17:31,443
It's chaos.

267
00:17:31,443 --> 00:17:33,843
Oh, yeah. Tummy scratch, yeah.

268
00:17:33,843 --> 00:17:34,923
Go.

269
00:17:36,483 --> 00:17:39,163
I'm a proud Wiradjuri woman.

270
00:17:39,163 --> 00:17:41,403
Always put your knives back in your pouch,

271
00:17:41,403 --> 00:17:43,043
so you know where they are.

272
00:17:43,043 --> 00:17:45,323
A big part of who I am in our family

273
00:17:45,323 --> 00:17:48,163
is to be outdoors and connecting with country

274
00:17:48,163 --> 00:17:50,403
and connecting with nature.

275
00:17:50,403 --> 00:17:51,843
And there, got caught.

276
00:17:51,843 --> 00:17:56,123
My goal is to be the first woman in Australia, First Nations,

277
00:17:56,123 --> 00:17:58,723
grandmother, mother, to win this.

278
00:18:00,083 --> 00:18:02,403
It's a lot of shit we got to carry.

279
00:18:02,403 --> 00:18:03,763
Fuck.

280
00:18:14,883 --> 00:18:16,683
Oh, just puffed.

281
00:18:20,923 --> 00:18:22,323
Anyhow, alright.

282
00:18:23,723 --> 00:18:24,963
I'm going to make a digging stick.

283
00:18:26,083 --> 00:18:28,403
I need to dig out this ground a little bit,

284
00:18:28,403 --> 00:18:30,923
so I can at least get a fire started.

285
00:18:33,043 --> 00:18:34,323
That's a good one.

286
00:18:35,723 --> 00:18:36,923
It's nice and heavy, too.

287
00:18:46,123 --> 00:18:48,203
I can feel eyeballs

288
00:18:48,203 --> 00:18:49,563
on me.

289
00:18:55,243 --> 00:19:01,163
Mentally, I don't know how I'm going to be when I am isolated,

290
00:19:01,163 --> 00:19:05,763
and I worry about where my head might go.

291
00:19:07,403 --> 00:19:09,123
So many different noises here.

292
00:19:23,083 --> 00:19:25,083
Something really smells.

293
00:19:25,083 --> 00:19:27,163
Um...

294
00:19:27,163 --> 00:19:29,963
It could be a Tassie Devil den.

295
00:19:31,083 --> 00:19:32,123
Um...

296
00:19:35,763 --> 00:19:36,763
We'll see.

297
00:19:36,763 --> 00:19:38,363
It could be in here, actually.

298
00:19:40,923 --> 00:19:43,323
But I can't see any carcasses of anything.

299
00:19:43,323 --> 00:19:45,163
So, somewhere... Ooh!

300
00:19:45,163 --> 00:19:46,963
You're for later.

301
00:19:49,963 --> 00:19:52,203
I can smell something really pongy.

302
00:19:57,363 --> 00:19:59,803
I'll fucking shit myself if something comes out.

303
00:20:03,883 --> 00:20:06,963
Wake up and a Tasmanian Devil in my face, wanting to eat it.

304
00:20:09,243 --> 00:20:10,803
I'm just paranoid.

305
00:20:15,803 --> 00:20:18,603
It's just those branches rubbing together

306
00:20:18,603 --> 00:20:20,123
that are making me...

307
00:20:21,483 --> 00:20:22,883
..nervous.

308
00:20:24,083 --> 00:20:25,523
(CREAKING) Ooh.

309
00:20:29,323 --> 00:20:31,523
(CRASHING)

310
00:20:31,523 --> 00:20:33,123
Ooh!

311
00:20:36,043 --> 00:20:37,603
Did you hear that?

312
00:20:38,683 --> 00:20:40,043
That was a tree falling.

313
00:20:42,243 --> 00:20:43,203
Ooh.

314
00:20:46,723 --> 00:20:48,003
Fuck.

315
00:20:48,003 --> 00:20:50,763
Just not happy with what's above me.

316
00:20:56,483 --> 00:20:59,043
This is fucking stupid. This is ridiculous.

317
00:21:00,123 --> 00:21:02,883
Doing this, absolutely ridiculous.

318
00:21:19,483 --> 00:21:21,403
BECK: It's going to rain, I'm sure.

319
00:21:23,083 --> 00:21:24,403
Ooh, slippery.

320
00:21:27,003 --> 00:21:28,883
(CLANK!) Ooh!

321
00:21:30,043 --> 00:21:33,243
You got that. (LAUGHS)

322
00:21:33,243 --> 00:21:34,483
Oh!

323
00:21:37,843 --> 00:21:39,403
So thirsty.

324
00:21:39,403 --> 00:21:40,963
Try and start our fire.

325
00:21:43,403 --> 00:21:45,603
Something stinks.

326
00:21:45,603 --> 00:21:46,883
And you know what?

327
00:21:48,203 --> 00:21:50,963
It'll be a fucking devil ben...den...

328
00:21:50,963 --> 00:21:53,283
..and I'll find out about it in the middle of the night.

329
00:21:54,523 --> 00:21:56,083
And then I'll shit myself.

330
00:21:59,883 --> 00:22:01,603
Alright, so I'm going to make my fire here.

331
00:22:03,683 --> 00:22:06,443
Shit. Where the fuck... Oh.

332
00:22:07,523 --> 00:22:08,723
Fuck.

333
00:22:11,483 --> 00:22:17,523
That cannot ever get lost.

334
00:22:17,523 --> 00:22:18,963
Ever.

335
00:22:20,003 --> 00:22:21,283
So...

336
00:22:23,363 --> 00:22:25,483
..this...

337
00:22:25,483 --> 00:22:27,323
..is going in the bra.

338
00:22:27,323 --> 00:22:28,883
Stupid ferro rod.

339
00:22:30,243 --> 00:22:31,843
Fuck.

340
00:22:31,843 --> 00:22:33,483
That would've been dumb.

341
00:22:36,323 --> 00:22:41,803
We've been allowed to bring 10 items with us to help us survive.

342
00:22:41,803 --> 00:22:46,763
And I chose my items based on my skill sets and my comfort

343
00:22:46,763 --> 00:22:48,323
and what I am able to use.

344
00:22:48,323 --> 00:22:50,003
(SIGHS)

345
00:22:50,003 --> 00:22:54,243
My strategy is fire first, shelter second,

346
00:22:54,243 --> 00:22:56,763
food, take it easy,

347
00:22:56,763 --> 00:22:58,563
and live in the moment.

348
00:23:05,043 --> 00:23:06,123
No.

349
00:23:08,043 --> 00:23:09,603
No.

350
00:23:09,603 --> 00:23:11,123
Fuckin' hell.

351
00:23:13,643 --> 00:23:16,763
OK. I've got to really get serious about this.

352
00:23:33,843 --> 00:23:35,043
Come on.

353
00:23:36,043 --> 00:23:37,243
Oh.

354
00:23:51,123 --> 00:23:52,203
Come on.

355
00:24:06,843 --> 00:24:09,323
Yes. Yes, yes.

356
00:24:10,603 --> 00:24:13,963
Yes! (SIGHS)

357
00:24:13,963 --> 00:24:15,483
Yes.

358
00:24:42,723 --> 00:24:44,723
PETER: There is a lot of mud here.

359
00:24:47,643 --> 00:24:49,083
Go for a fish,

360
00:24:49,083 --> 00:24:51,443
see if I can get salmon or something for dinner tonight.

361
00:24:54,283 --> 00:24:55,763
Also need to start a fire.

362
00:24:57,723 --> 00:24:59,723
I've got to boil some water as well.

363
00:24:59,723 --> 00:25:01,203
Still got a bit to do.

364
00:25:03,803 --> 00:25:05,763
But, yeah, surviving here is going to be very hard.

365
00:25:07,203 --> 00:25:11,123
So...if you don't start getting food in quick...

366
00:25:13,603 --> 00:25:15,203
..you're not gonna last long out here.

367
00:25:17,203 --> 00:25:21,043
My job is a hunting guide and I'm based in western Sydney.

368
00:25:21,043 --> 00:25:24,083
We did it, brother. (LAUGHS) (MAN LAUGHS)

369
00:25:24,083 --> 00:25:28,283
When it comes to hunting, I'm very highly skilled.

370
00:25:28,283 --> 00:25:31,563
My strengths are hunting, fishing, tracking, stalking,

371
00:25:31,563 --> 00:25:33,483
archery, rifle shooting,

372
00:25:33,483 --> 00:25:38,883
my mental strength, my way of adapting to what my surroundings are.

373
00:25:38,883 --> 00:25:40,803
I describe myself as definitely an alpha male.

374
00:25:40,803 --> 00:25:42,203
(GROANS)

375
00:25:42,203 --> 00:25:44,403
I love my wife and love my kids.

376
00:25:44,403 --> 00:25:48,083
We are a very hunting family.

377
00:25:48,083 --> 00:25:49,843
So my wife loves hunting.

378
00:25:49,843 --> 00:25:51,963
We shoot together, ride bikes together.

379
00:25:51,963 --> 00:25:53,923
It's a perfect match.

380
00:25:57,083 --> 00:25:58,963
I think I've got the skills to go the whole way,

381
00:25:58,963 --> 00:26:01,323
just due to my line of work.

382
00:26:01,323 --> 00:26:03,043
Being outdoors every single day.

383
00:26:03,043 --> 00:26:03,723
Being outdoors every single day.

384
00:26:03,723 --> 00:26:06,803
But half the tools that I go hunting with, I'm allow to use on this.

385
00:26:06,803 --> 00:26:09,003
It's my firearms, my bows.

386
00:26:09,003 --> 00:26:10,723
If I could bring my bow and arrow here,

387
00:26:10,723 --> 00:26:13,003
it wouldn't be a survival show.

388
00:26:13,003 --> 00:26:14,963
I'd be able to live out there quite comfortably.

389
00:26:16,203 --> 00:26:20,003
Now it becomes a personal challenge. I can't blame my bow or my gun.

390
00:26:20,003 --> 00:26:21,323
Miss you.

391
00:26:21,323 --> 00:26:25,043
It's really just, if you fuck up, I only can blame one person.

392
00:26:25,043 --> 00:26:26,523
That's me.

393
00:26:27,643 --> 00:26:29,443
Lots of scat and shit around here,

394
00:26:29,443 --> 00:26:31,643
so I'm going to have to set up traps around here.

395
00:26:31,643 --> 00:26:34,323
It's literally like a forest of death.

396
00:26:38,883 --> 00:26:40,883
It looks pretty scary, to be honest.

397
00:26:40,883 --> 00:26:44,363
When you look at it, looks like that place from...

398
00:26:45,883 --> 00:26:47,803
..that dark place from The Lion King.

399
00:26:53,323 --> 00:26:55,603
Alright, I'm gonna get set up.

400
00:27:10,003 --> 00:27:12,603
Here we are. There.

401
00:27:15,003 --> 00:27:17,443
Sweet. Oh, now, see, you can see the fire.

402
00:27:17,443 --> 00:27:19,283
I mean, that fire there.

403
00:27:19,283 --> 00:27:20,923
That's what I wanted.

404
00:27:20,923 --> 00:27:22,403
And then, ta-da.

405
00:27:23,803 --> 00:27:25,203
I don't know why I was doing that.

406
00:27:25,203 --> 00:27:27,243
I'm not... We're here. OK, cool.

407
00:27:27,243 --> 00:27:28,923
We're all sorted now.

408
00:27:28,923 --> 00:27:29,963
Boom.

409
00:27:33,683 --> 00:27:35,163
Day one.

410
00:27:38,763 --> 00:27:43,363
Just set the whole camera up, and got the craps with it.

411
00:27:43,363 --> 00:27:45,483
And I don't even have anything to say.

412
00:27:45,483 --> 00:27:46,803
So...

413
00:27:46,803 --> 00:27:49,003
(WATER RUNS NEARBY)

414
00:27:49,003 --> 00:27:50,403
Yeah.

415
00:27:56,483 --> 00:27:57,963
Nice little stream.

416
00:27:57,963 --> 00:27:59,723
Oh, man, a little waterfall.

417
00:28:03,683 --> 00:28:05,363
I'm going to try this water.

418
00:28:05,363 --> 00:28:06,923
You should always...

419
00:28:09,723 --> 00:28:11,603
You should always boil water, they reckon.

420
00:28:13,403 --> 00:28:15,083
And you should listen to them.

421
00:28:16,843 --> 00:28:18,523
Don't always do what I do, alright?

422
00:28:18,523 --> 00:28:21,123
But I'm going to try it.

423
00:28:26,643 --> 00:28:28,603
It's good to just have a little sip first.

424
00:28:38,243 --> 00:28:40,843
Can't really taste bacteria, can you?

425
00:28:43,163 --> 00:28:45,963
Rule one, boil your water. Woo-woo-woo.

426
00:28:48,723 --> 00:28:50,523
Don't tell me how to live my life.

427
00:28:50,523 --> 00:28:52,483
Oh, I feel sick from the water.

428
00:28:52,483 --> 00:28:53,763
Nah. (CHUCKLES)

429
00:29:16,483 --> 00:29:18,123
ROB: Oh, tree hugging.

430
00:29:21,483 --> 00:29:24,443
Imagine waking up to this every morning.

431
00:29:24,443 --> 00:29:26,763
Costs you a mint to get this anywhere else.

432
00:29:30,163 --> 00:29:32,243
So, this is my shelter for night one.

433
00:29:32,243 --> 00:29:33,523
Pretty happy with it.

434
00:29:33,523 --> 00:29:35,163
It's got two ridge lines

435
00:29:35,163 --> 00:29:37,723
and a front door that overlooks the water.

436
00:29:39,563 --> 00:29:41,523
So, I've started to collect these ferns.

437
00:29:43,483 --> 00:29:45,443
Start laying these down for my bedding.

438
00:29:46,523 --> 00:29:49,083
We'll just make layers and layers of these

439
00:29:49,083 --> 00:29:52,043
to roll out our sleeping bag on.

440
00:29:52,043 --> 00:29:54,723
I do enjoy spending time out on country.

441
00:29:54,723 --> 00:29:56,243
I like being out in the bush,

442
00:29:56,243 --> 00:30:00,563
and sharing knowledge for our children is so important, you know?

443
00:30:01,643 --> 00:30:02,763
We're not rich people.

444
00:30:02,763 --> 00:30:05,163
We can't give them...and fill their bank accounts up with money,

445
00:30:05,163 --> 00:30:07,243
but we can fill their minds and their hearts up

446
00:30:07,243 --> 00:30:08,523
with the right knowledge

447
00:30:08,523 --> 00:30:10,643
that'll do them well through their life.

448
00:30:15,243 --> 00:30:17,003
You alright?

449
00:30:17,003 --> 00:30:18,803
Daddy get this one.

450
00:30:18,803 --> 00:30:22,563
I'm a simple person, lead a pretty simple life.

451
00:30:22,563 --> 00:30:24,603
Myself and my partner, Leanne,

452
00:30:24,603 --> 00:30:28,123
my son, Coby, and my daughter, Coralie.

453
00:30:28,123 --> 00:30:29,883
Automatic.

454
00:30:29,883 --> 00:30:32,083
When you go bush, you go as a family,

455
00:30:32,083 --> 00:30:34,043
and every family member has a job to do.

456
00:30:34,043 --> 00:30:37,283
But you're actually going to do this on your own,

457
00:30:37,283 --> 00:30:40,123
so you have to think about everything.

458
00:30:40,123 --> 00:30:42,403
Well, you know, I'm not a survivalist.

459
00:30:42,403 --> 00:30:44,203
I'm not a doomsday prepper.

460
00:30:44,203 --> 00:30:47,643
As a family, we spend a lot of time out bush.

461
00:30:47,643 --> 00:30:50,043
Another grub. Whoa!

462
00:30:50,043 --> 00:30:51,963
(EXCLAIMS) A big one, Ralie.

463
00:30:51,963 --> 00:30:53,523
Big one, look. We can eat that one.

464
00:30:53,523 --> 00:30:54,683
You can eat him.

465
00:30:54,683 --> 00:30:57,803
I mean, here locally, we go and get kangaroo meat all the time.

466
00:30:57,803 --> 00:31:00,123
We get kangaroo and we get emu.

467
00:31:00,123 --> 00:31:03,043
And it's really important to us to have our children out on country...

468
00:31:03,043 --> 00:31:04,243
And it's really important to us to have our children out on country...

469
00:31:04,243 --> 00:31:05,563
Two eggs.

470
00:31:05,563 --> 00:31:09,123
..and learning just how to be out in bush and how to survive out there.

471
00:31:09,123 --> 00:31:10,843
Are you going to carry them for me?

472
00:31:12,443 --> 00:31:13,523
Thank you.

473
00:31:13,523 --> 00:31:16,003
I'm going to take one photo with me.

474
00:31:16,003 --> 00:31:18,043
I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

475
00:31:18,043 --> 00:31:20,443
Like, whether looking at that photo's going to... (CHUCKLES)

476
00:31:20,443 --> 00:31:22,443
..going to make me more upset than I need to be.

477
00:31:22,443 --> 00:31:24,243
I'm here. Oh.

478
00:31:24,243 --> 00:31:25,803
I want to come.

479
00:31:25,803 --> 00:31:27,523
No. Daddy got to go by himself. OK?

480
00:31:27,523 --> 00:31:28,723
I love you.

481
00:31:28,723 --> 00:31:32,803
For me, I'm doing this to really grow as a human being.

482
00:31:32,803 --> 00:31:35,323
But to be honest, I don't know how I'm going to handle

483
00:31:35,323 --> 00:31:37,363
just being alone and away from my family.

484
00:31:37,363 --> 00:31:39,043
Especially that little girl.

485
00:31:39,043 --> 00:31:41,523
That's going to be the hardest part, I think, for me,

486
00:31:41,523 --> 00:31:43,163
is missing my family.

487
00:31:44,683 --> 00:31:46,003
The trees are crazy, eh?

488
00:31:46,003 --> 00:31:48,123
They're so old and ancient.

489
00:31:48,123 --> 00:31:49,683
They're all covered in moss.

490
00:32:01,843 --> 00:32:04,083
Plenty of wallaby scat around here...

491
00:32:04,083 --> 00:32:05,883
(LAUGHS)

492
00:32:05,883 --> 00:32:07,123
Yeah.

493
00:32:07,123 --> 00:32:08,803
..which is good.

494
00:32:10,643 --> 00:32:13,003
Hopefully, there'll be some food hopping around here later.

495
00:32:29,083 --> 00:32:30,603
GINA: OK. Shelter o'clock.

496
00:32:30,603 --> 00:32:32,243
Alright, no pissing about.

497
00:32:33,403 --> 00:32:34,803
Time to get to work.

498
00:32:34,803 --> 00:32:37,963
I've definitely got a sense of working against the clock

499
00:32:37,963 --> 00:32:40,803
and feeling that

500
00:32:40,803 --> 00:32:44,043
the walk that I had and playing around by the shore

501
00:32:44,043 --> 00:32:45,923
was a kind of drop shock.

502
00:32:48,243 --> 00:32:53,123
Feeling a little bit, I don't know...stunned by being out here.

503
00:32:54,203 --> 00:32:55,803
Because I don't have a sleeping bag,

504
00:32:55,803 --> 00:33:00,723
I really need to have a warm shelter and a fire tonight.

505
00:33:05,683 --> 00:33:07,883
Losing daylight. Need to get a wriggle on.

506
00:33:09,323 --> 00:33:12,523
VOICEOVER: Alone Australia is brought to you by Kia.

507
00:33:12,523 --> 00:33:15,163
Experience the ultimate human endurance

508
00:33:15,163 --> 00:33:19,203
as 10 contestants battle to survive alone in the Tasmanian wilderness,

509
00:33:19,203 --> 00:33:23,043
with the winner taking home a prize worth $250,000.

510
00:33:49,923 --> 00:33:51,403
GINA: I'm under the pump.

511
00:33:53,963 --> 00:33:58,523
Probably the thing that I like the least in survival is rain,

512
00:33:58,523 --> 00:34:03,003
and this place rains 255 days a year.

513
00:34:05,643 --> 00:34:08,083
Fabulous wind break.

514
00:34:08,083 --> 00:34:09,883
(GRUNTS)

515
00:34:09,883 --> 00:34:11,643
My family think I'm bonkers,

516
00:34:11,643 --> 00:34:14,323
but they're not at all surprised that I'm doing something like this.

517
00:34:16,803 --> 00:34:21,123
I've spent my whole life deepening into ancestral skills

518
00:34:21,123 --> 00:34:23,323
and learning how to be at home in the wild.

519
00:34:24,683 --> 00:34:28,203
It's not the prettiest shelter in the history of shelters,

520
00:34:28,203 --> 00:34:34,563
but it's going to keep me dry, and that's all I really want.

521
00:34:38,123 --> 00:34:40,163
I live in an off-grid shack.

522
00:34:40,163 --> 00:34:43,843
It's so off-grid, it doesn't even have power or running water.

523
00:34:43,843 --> 00:34:49,963
I run camps and experiences that help people connect with nature.

524
00:34:49,963 --> 00:34:53,323
You've got little fishies. You're going to love this.

525
00:34:53,323 --> 00:34:55,003
Actually, it's not just fish.

526
00:34:55,003 --> 00:34:56,683
This is really good for eels.

527
00:34:56,683 --> 00:35:00,003
How to make shelter, how to make fire,

528
00:35:00,003 --> 00:35:03,723
how to weave baskets, how to make tools, how to track animals.

529
00:35:03,723 --> 00:35:06,643
That is so, so beautiful, Jodes.

530
00:35:06,643 --> 00:35:09,723
If I was sitting down, I can tuck my feet in.

531
00:35:09,723 --> 00:35:12,923
See, that keeps me warm. Yeah.

532
00:35:12,923 --> 00:35:15,363
I will be taking in a possum skin coat.

533
00:35:15,363 --> 00:35:19,963
I have been making this possum coat with Jodi Edwards, my friend,

534
00:35:19,963 --> 00:35:23,243
and a lineage holder for possum skin cloaks.

535
00:35:25,563 --> 00:35:28,723
Sharing will help that continuation

536
00:35:28,723 --> 00:35:32,363
of knowledge and culture to go on.

537
00:35:34,163 --> 00:35:37,123
I've been training for something like this my whole life.

538
00:35:37,123 --> 00:35:39,523
I want to win this. I really want to win this.

539
00:35:39,523 --> 00:35:43,483
$250,000 prize would change my life.

540
00:35:43,483 --> 00:35:46,843
The only way I'm coming out of this is if they pull me out.

541
00:35:56,603 --> 00:35:58,723
So, there's this pretty cool trick...

542
00:36:00,363 --> 00:36:03,363
..if you're in a situation like I'm in right now

543
00:36:03,363 --> 00:36:06,043
where I'm running out of light.

544
00:36:06,043 --> 00:36:12,163
So, I'm going to use my T-shirt, part of a sleeve,

545
00:36:12,163 --> 00:36:13,883
and the cotton...

546
00:36:15,843 --> 00:36:17,643
..will take a spark.

547
00:36:20,163 --> 00:36:24,123
And then the sparks going into...

548
00:36:26,603 --> 00:36:28,963
..the bit of T-shirt.

549
00:36:28,963 --> 00:36:31,123
Catch it on fire.

550
00:36:31,123 --> 00:36:37,123
And then from there I can catch my tinder.

551
00:36:40,763 --> 00:36:42,523
From there...

552
00:36:46,283 --> 00:36:47,803
..I can start my fire.

553
00:36:49,843 --> 00:36:50,883
Cool. Huh?

554
00:36:50,883 --> 00:36:54,643
Fire is probably one of my strongest skills,

555
00:36:54,643 --> 00:36:59,003
and the number one law of survival for me is conservation of energy.

556
00:36:59,003 --> 00:37:00,843
Everything else comes from that.

557
00:37:00,843 --> 00:37:02,803
And it's a simple equation.

558
00:37:02,803 --> 00:37:05,763
I need to stay warm. I need to stay dry.

559
00:37:05,763 --> 00:37:08,883
And simple shivering is going to burn calories

560
00:37:08,883 --> 00:37:11,043
that I would then need to go out and find.

561
00:37:12,523 --> 00:37:15,043
I don't like doing the T-shirt thing,

562
00:37:15,043 --> 00:37:17,683
and partly it's a matter of pride and ego.

563
00:37:17,683 --> 00:37:21,923
However, when you're in a true survival situation,

564
00:37:21,923 --> 00:37:25,243
conservation of energy is pretty important.

565
00:37:25,243 --> 00:37:28,883
And also, having everything done before dark...

566
00:37:31,323 --> 00:37:33,203
..is also pretty important.

567
00:37:44,403 --> 00:37:47,123
Oh. Big bubbles.

568
00:37:47,123 --> 00:37:49,123
Yeah. (LAUGHS)

569
00:37:49,123 --> 00:37:51,523
Ah, big bubbles, no troubles.

570
00:37:51,523 --> 00:37:53,163
That's what I wanted.

571
00:37:54,963 --> 00:37:58,963
I'll just let that roll on the boil like that for a few minutes.

572
00:38:01,563 --> 00:38:05,243
I'm from a hot climate, in red dirt country in the Mallee,

573
00:38:05,243 --> 00:38:08,923
where it's quite a lot warmer than it is here in lutruwita,

574
00:38:08,923 --> 00:38:13,003
so it's that cold climate that worries me the most.

575

596

is one that I'll pass to my kids and, you know, to my daughter

597
