1
00:00:25,363 --> 00:00:29,283
Already this place feels like... Like it's where I'm going to be.

2
00:00:29,283 --> 00:00:30,883
That goes there.

3
00:00:30,883 --> 00:00:33,203
I need to gather food to feed my body.

4
00:00:33,203 --> 00:00:35,203
The kayak is the only way to solve it.

5
00:00:35,203 --> 00:00:37,163
It's got an eel, I think.

6
00:00:37,163 --> 00:00:38,643
Yeah, baby.

7
00:00:40,283 --> 00:00:42,323
It's pissing down.

8
00:00:42,323 --> 00:00:44,003
Oh, dear.

9
00:00:44,003 --> 00:00:47,403
I have not seen a single thing alive.

10
00:00:47,403 --> 00:00:49,203
This is really getting on my nerves.

11
00:00:49,203 --> 00:00:51,723
No way! Yeah!

12
00:00:51,723 --> 00:00:55,643
I got a bloody fish! It's me first trout, too.

(PHONE RINGS)

16
00:01:01,523 --> 00:01:04,083
I'm officially tapping out. Come and grab me.

17
00:01:05,723 --> 00:01:07,443
MAN: We're halfway to the South Pole.

18
00:01:07,443 --> 00:01:09,843
We're going to be totally alone.

19
00:01:09,843 --> 00:01:13,363
WOMAN: It's Tasmania. It's cold, it's rain, it's snow.

20
00:01:14,643 --> 00:01:17,363
WOMAN: We're all going to leave changed forever.

21
00:01:19,963 --> 00:01:21,523
Holy fuck.

22
00:01:21,523 --> 00:01:22,563
Yeah!

23
00:01:22,563 --> 00:01:24,323
What is this place?

24
00:01:24,323 --> 00:01:26,603
It's like a camp trip from hell.

25
00:01:26,603 --> 00:01:28,123
MAN: Mother Nature's kicking my ass.

26
00:01:28,123 --> 00:01:29,643
Oop, sinking.

27
00:01:32,083 --> 00:01:33,443
MAN: This experience...

28
00:01:33,443 --> 00:01:34,723
(GROAN) You fucker!

29
00:01:34,723 --> 00:01:36,723
..is just as much a mind game...

30
00:01:36,723 --> 00:01:38,283
Oh, my heart...

31
00:01:38,283 --> 00:01:40,043
..as it is a survival game.

32
00:01:40,043 --> 00:01:41,283
Check it out.

33
00:01:42,483 --> 00:01:43,443
Whoa!

34
00:01:44,523 --> 00:01:45,803
Is there another way?

35
00:01:45,803 --> 00:01:49,043
WOMAN: $250,000 prize would change my life.

36
00:01:49,043 --> 00:01:50,243
Yum.

37
00:01:50,243 --> 00:01:52,363
I'm over it. I'm fucking over it.

38
00:02:39,643 --> 00:02:41,083
It's the middle of the night.

39
00:02:44,243 --> 00:02:46,203
Bodies remember anniversaries.

40
00:02:47,923 --> 00:02:53,443
Exactly 12 years ago, right about now...

41
00:02:54,883 --> 00:02:57,963
..I woke up with a weird pain

42
00:02:57,963 --> 00:03:00,283
in my very, very pregnant belly.

43
00:03:04,283 --> 00:03:06,443
Blaise's birthday.

44
00:03:06,443 --> 00:03:08,043
Happy birthday, Blaise.

45
00:03:09,603 --> 00:03:12,923
This fire is your candle, little chicken.

46
00:03:16,963 --> 00:03:21,523
It looks like I'm having a vigil tonight for you.

47
00:03:23,163 --> 00:03:24,443
My little spark.

48
00:03:27,443 --> 00:03:28,923
My only cub.

49
00:03:36,163 --> 00:03:39,843
When I was 38, I discovered I was pregnant.

50
00:03:39,843 --> 00:03:43,163
And then, four days later, I found out I had breast cancer.

51
00:03:45,243 --> 00:03:50,083
I was told that I had to terminate the pregnancy or I'd die.

52
00:03:50,083 --> 00:03:53,083
And I said, "No, I will not."

53
00:03:53,083 --> 00:03:57,643
This wild wolf mama inside me just said, "No."

54
00:03:57,643 --> 00:04:01,003
And I just had this... this clarity inside

55
00:04:01,003 --> 00:04:03,523
of knowing what I needed to do.

56
00:04:03,523 --> 00:04:06,043
Chemo babies are usually tiny.

57
00:04:07,923 --> 00:04:10,763
When Blaise arrived, she was four and a half kilos.

58
00:04:10,763 --> 00:04:13,203
She was enormous.

59
00:04:14,563 --> 00:04:17,923
Getting her here healthily and being in remission

60
00:04:17,923 --> 00:04:21,363
taught me that I could trust that part of myself.

61
00:04:22,723 --> 00:04:25,403
And then, three years later...

62
00:04:26,723 --> 00:04:28,403
..Blaise got cancer.

63
00:04:31,603 --> 00:04:38,683
For any parent, the most terrifying thing to think ever

64
00:04:38,683 --> 00:04:40,843
is that your child can die.

65
00:04:40,843 --> 00:04:42,963
It's the biggest fear of a parent.

66
00:04:42,963 --> 00:04:45,843
It's like as long as they're breathing, you're afraid.

67
00:04:47,723 --> 00:04:50,443
Spent nine days in the ICU and then...

68
00:04:51,643 --> 00:04:52,763
..she died.

69
00:04:54,243 --> 00:04:56,843
(SOBS)

70
00:05:18,003 --> 00:05:21,043
Oh, my bubba... (SOBS)

71
00:05:49,443 --> 00:05:51,443
Happy birthday, Blaise.

72
00:06:01,403 --> 00:06:03,003
Happy birthday.

73
00:06:15,083 --> 00:06:17,323
I've been to the bottom of the bottom of the bottom

74
00:06:17,323 --> 00:06:19,683
of the bottom of the pit.

75
00:06:19,683 --> 00:06:24,763
I've mapped every millimetre on the way down and on the way back.

76
00:06:26,283 --> 00:06:30,523
Having gone through that and come out the other side...

77
00:06:30,523 --> 00:06:31,883
..not broken...

78
00:06:33,963 --> 00:06:36,043
..for me, means I can handle anything.

79
00:06:37,723 --> 00:06:41,603
I am under no illusion that it's going to be easy.

80
00:06:41,603 --> 00:06:44,123
In every possible way,

81
00:06:44,123 --> 00:06:47,323
this experience is going to push me to my edges.

82
00:06:47,323 --> 00:06:52,603
But for me, this isn't a struggle. It's a challenge.

83
00:06:52,603 --> 00:06:54,323
And one I'm up for.

84
00:06:57,323 --> 00:06:59,963
I feel like I popped the grief bubble last night,

85
00:06:59,963 --> 00:07:04,403
And now I just feel gratitude that today is her birthday.

86
00:07:07,603 --> 00:07:10,763
And I can just think about her running around

87
00:07:10,763 --> 00:07:13,883
with her fairy wings and her tutu.

88
00:07:13,883 --> 00:07:17,723
Barefoot in the dirt, eating witchetty grubs.

89
00:07:18,883 --> 00:07:20,643
That just makes me smile.

90
00:07:23,123 --> 00:07:26,643
And super grateful that I've had the experience

91
00:07:26,643 --> 00:07:29,163
of birthing and being a mum.

92
00:07:52,643 --> 00:07:54,843
The black cockatoos are back.

93
00:07:57,403 --> 00:07:59,363
Hello, cockatoo!

They're just probably the same as me,

00:08:02,363 --> 00:08:04,243
they're just enjoying the blue sky.

103
00:08:25,483 --> 00:08:26,803
Back to work.

104
00:08:33,843 --> 00:08:35,763
This one's got a nice natural bend.

105
00:08:35,763 --> 00:08:38,203
It's day four.

106
00:08:38,203 --> 00:08:40,923
I am going to keep going on my kayak.

107
00:08:40,923 --> 00:08:45,003
The kayak is going to solve my setline fishing needs,

108
00:08:45,003 --> 00:08:47,883
my ability to put out a gill net when I make one.

109
00:08:47,883 --> 00:08:50,403
Allow me to find water and do my recce.

110
00:08:50,403 --> 00:08:53,683
That looks a lot more satisfying.

111
00:08:53,683 --> 00:08:55,003
(GRUNTS)

112
00:08:56,443 --> 00:08:59,643
I really haven't eaten anything since I got here,

113
00:08:59,643 --> 00:09:01,123
which I'm OK with,

114
00:09:01,123 --> 00:09:04,003
'cause the way I'm playing it is

115
00:09:04,003 --> 00:09:07,723
I'll probably be hungry for maybe 20, 30 days

116
00:09:07,723 --> 00:09:10,163
with nothing much coming in.

117
00:09:10,163 --> 00:09:11,723
But around that mark,

118
00:09:11,723 --> 00:09:16,323
I'll start having some serious food gathering systems in place.

119
00:09:16,323 --> 00:09:19,163
Probably be a little wider, you know?

120
00:09:19,163 --> 00:09:22,483
I'll just grab one more straight sapling.

121
00:09:22,483 --> 00:09:25,483
So the quicker I get this bloody thing together,

122
00:09:25,483 --> 00:09:28,003
the quicker I can eat.

123
00:09:43,283 --> 00:09:45,923
Something's been climbing up there.

124
00:09:45,923 --> 00:09:49,163
There's just...scrape marks.

125
00:09:49,163 --> 00:09:50,683
There's a good one coming up.

126
00:09:52,763 --> 00:09:54,403
About there.

127
00:09:54,403 --> 00:09:56,283
So I assume that's, like, a possum or something

128
00:09:56,283 --> 00:09:57,723
trying to climb up this tree.

129
00:09:57,723 --> 00:09:59,523
That's a good sign.

130
00:09:59,523 --> 00:10:00,043
I know that there's at least some bloody animals around here

131
00:10:00,043 --> 00:10:02,003
I know that there's at least some bloody animals around here

132
00:10:02,003 --> 00:10:03,963
Going to set these trail cams

133
00:10:03,963 --> 00:10:06,603
and see if I can see what wildlife is around.

134
00:10:13,003 --> 00:10:15,123
(SIGHS) Right.

135
00:10:15,123 --> 00:10:17,483
If I was walking through here, which way would I go?

136
00:10:19,963 --> 00:10:21,683
And to be honest, I'd go this way,

137
00:10:21,683 --> 00:10:24,443
so this is probably the way that the animals would go as well.

138
00:10:31,643 --> 00:10:33,683
There's a bit of a fork here, actually.

139
00:10:33,683 --> 00:10:35,803
(SIGHS)

140
00:10:35,803 --> 00:10:37,883
Once again, I think most traffic is going to be

141
00:10:37,883 --> 00:10:40,163
coming down here and doing that.

142
00:10:40,163 --> 00:10:43,203
So I'm probably better off having it here looking that way.

143
00:10:51,843 --> 00:10:53,163
Alright, that should do it.

144
00:10:56,523 --> 00:10:59,083
Alright, just gonna mark where that is.

145
00:11:00,683 --> 00:11:02,083
I'm looking forward to seeing

146
00:11:02,083 --> 00:11:04,483
if there's anything on them in the morning.

147
00:11:22,803 --> 00:11:26,123
I hope everyone else's shelter is better than mine. (LAUGHS)

148
00:11:28,483 --> 00:11:30,483
(GROANS)

149
00:11:30,483 --> 00:11:34,003
I've woken up like this and...

150
00:11:35,283 --> 00:11:37,723
..I need to get out of this wormhole.

151
00:11:38,763 --> 00:11:41,043
Yeah, I need to get under some decent shelter,

152
00:11:41,043 --> 00:11:42,843
especially with this wind picking up.

153
00:11:43,923 --> 00:11:49,203
So today is chop more wood day for my permanent shelter.

154
00:11:49,203 --> 00:11:51,323
Let's go.

155
00:11:51,323 --> 00:11:52,323
Oh.

156
00:11:55,043 --> 00:11:58,003
I want it to be spacey. I want to be able to fit my bed.

157
00:11:58,003 --> 00:12:02,723
I want it to be so comfortable that I can withstand any storm,

158
00:12:02,723 --> 00:12:06,923
any amount of rain, any wind.

159
00:12:06,923 --> 00:12:09,323
I want to be out here for a long time,

160
00:12:09,323 --> 00:12:10,523
so I need to do it.

161
00:12:12,243 --> 00:12:13,923
OK.

162
00:12:13,923 --> 00:12:16,563
I need more trees.

163
00:12:19,203 --> 00:12:20,603
As an Aboriginal man,

164
00:12:20,603 --> 00:12:23,083
this experience will give me the chance

165
00:12:23,083 --> 00:12:24,803
to connect to country on a deeper level.

166
00:12:24,803 --> 00:12:28,523
And that's really important to me for self-growth.

167
00:12:33,363 --> 00:12:35,923
OK, let's go finish this wall.

168
00:12:38,523 --> 00:12:42,523
Using way too much energy carrying these large logs around.

169
00:12:42,523 --> 00:12:44,443
Hoi-ah, got me.

170
00:12:44,443 --> 00:12:46,523
Ha, ha. There's my first slip.

171
00:12:49,243 --> 00:12:51,843
I've just got to take it slow and get this done.

172
00:13:00,083 --> 00:13:03,123
Oh, that was fucking close.

173
00:13:03,123 --> 00:13:04,443
Jesus Christ.

174
00:13:06,363 --> 00:13:09,643
This experience is just as much a mind game

175
00:13:09,643 --> 00:13:12,723
as it is a survival game.

176
00:13:12,723 --> 00:13:14,123
Please work.

177
00:13:15,563 --> 00:13:19,003
I haven't eaten and I've probably been dehydrated

178
00:13:19,003 --> 00:13:22,283
and my mind's starting to break down.

179
00:13:22,283 --> 00:13:24,163
I need to just switch back on,

180
00:13:24,163 --> 00:13:28,083
because one slip-up here, I'm going home.

181
00:13:33,083 --> 00:13:36,123
(GROANS) No way.

182
00:13:36,123 --> 00:13:37,603
No fucking way.

183
00:13:42,523 --> 00:13:43,563
Fuck.

184
00:13:50,563 --> 00:13:54,843
Didn't get done as much as I really wanted to get done today.

185
00:13:54,843 --> 00:13:57,403
I've still got half a wall to go.

186
00:13:59,123 --> 00:14:02,643
The amount of cutting I've done is just, far out, non-stop.

187
00:14:03,923 --> 00:14:08,683
One more night in that bloody thing and then I'll move into here.

188
00:14:27,843 --> 00:14:29,683
It looks foggy, but...

189
00:14:31,043 --> 00:14:33,083
..I think it's OK now.

190
00:14:33,083 --> 00:14:34,563
Day four.

191
00:14:34,563 --> 00:14:37,483
I was just doing my morning water collection.

192
00:14:37,483 --> 00:14:39,763
Looks like there's plenty there.

193
00:14:39,763 --> 00:14:46,443
But there's also a little turd of some kind of arboreal critter.

194
00:14:46,443 --> 00:14:48,243
We'll just pretend we didn't see that.

195
00:14:57,083 --> 00:14:58,443
Fresh water.

196
00:15:00,403 --> 00:15:02,283
Standing for the camera, please.

197
00:15:04,163 --> 00:15:06,283
My name's Michael Wallace. I'm 44.

198
00:15:06,283 --> 00:15:08,203
I'm a country vet and a bush regenerator

199
00:15:08,203 --> 00:15:09,483
from The Oaks, New South Wales.

200
00:15:09,483 --> 00:15:12,603
Oh, no, it's a shemozzle! We only got this many!

201
00:15:12,603 --> 00:15:14,523
I'm a Bible-believing Christian.

202
00:15:14,523 --> 00:15:17,363
My faith in God, it's very important to me.

203
00:15:17,363 --> 00:15:19,963
It's pretty much the anchor.

204
00:15:19,963 --> 00:15:24,123
It just makes my life easy and simple to have Jesus to follow.

205
00:15:24,123 --> 00:15:26,123
WOMAN: Don't miss us, we're not going anywhere,

206
00:15:26,123 --> 00:15:27,723
we'll still be here when you get back.

207
00:15:27,723 --> 00:15:30,163
I would definitely describe myself as a family man.

208
00:15:30,163 --> 00:15:31,403
No offence.

209
00:15:31,403 --> 00:15:34,203
My kids are important to me. My church family is important to me.

210
00:15:34,203 --> 00:15:36,803
How do you think I'm going to go, Samuel?

211
00:15:36,803 --> 00:15:39,403
You're nice and stubborn, I reckon you'll last a good amount of time.

212
00:15:39,403 --> 00:15:41,043
(LAUGHS) Might even make the whole way.

213
00:15:42,283 --> 00:15:45,883
My everyday life is a bit like Alone.

214
00:15:45,883 --> 00:15:47,243
G'day.

215
00:15:47,243 --> 00:15:48,683
I've got my own bushland.

216
00:15:48,683 --> 00:15:53,163
I can trap, I can fish, I can hunt, I can make fire.

217
00:15:53,163 --> 00:15:56,283
My strongest skill set is problem solving

218
00:15:56,283 --> 00:16:00,163
and just having a non-quit personality.

219
00:16:00,163 --> 00:16:03,163
I know it's going to be hard, but I'm not fearful.

220
00:16:03,163 --> 00:16:06,563
I'm doing this to represent the Christians out there

221
00:16:06,563 --> 00:16:09,443
and to show how I can be resilient in that struggle.

222
00:16:11,083 --> 00:16:13,723
In the past, my faith has helped me get through hard times.

223
00:16:13,723 --> 00:16:15,443
See you, Dad.

224
00:16:15,443 --> 00:16:17,083
Bye, love you. GIRL: Goodbye.

225
00:16:17,083 --> 00:16:20,003
Being a Christian out there is going to be my secret weapon.

226
00:16:22,043 --> 00:16:26,603
Today, we're going to go exploring up the hill to expand my diet

227
00:16:26,603 --> 00:16:30,963
because I'm not catching fish yet, so I'm actually feeling hungry.

228
00:16:33,443 --> 00:16:35,923
Here we go. There's the trail.

229
00:16:35,923 --> 00:16:37,683
Up, up, and away.

230
00:16:42,403 --> 00:16:44,763
As we get further up the hill,

231
00:16:44,763 --> 00:16:47,363
it looks a bit less dense, which is nice.

232
00:16:49,403 --> 00:16:51,843
And I think I'm up to my lunchtime lomandra.

233
00:16:55,803 --> 00:16:56,803
Heya.

234
00:16:57,803 --> 00:16:59,123
From the roots.

235
00:17:04,403 --> 00:17:08,283
Kind of watery and juicy, but with a touch of sweetness.

236
00:17:08,283 --> 00:17:10,883
You know what? If you forgot about its shape,

237
00:17:10,883 --> 00:17:13,803
it could be corn on the cob.

238
00:17:13,803 --> 00:17:14,963
Let's push on.

239
00:17:16,483 --> 00:17:18,443
I think I'm heading south.

240
00:17:22,523 --> 00:17:24,563
Better do a quick check.

241
00:17:24,563 --> 00:17:27,523
Yes, it is south. Excellent.

242
00:17:31,963 --> 00:17:34,483
Just proper bush bashing now.

243
00:17:48,403 --> 00:17:50,443
Hmm, starting to close in a bit.

244
00:17:53,523 --> 00:17:56,083
Making the walk a bit more of a zigzag than a straight line.

245
00:17:57,643 --> 00:17:59,323
Just when it's easy to get lost.

246
00:18:12,403 --> 00:18:15,323
Takes you this long to go one metre, it's not a good sign.

247
00:18:16,963 --> 00:18:20,003
Just trying to not break the do not sweat rule.

248
00:18:20,003 --> 00:18:22,083
Do not sweat in cold climates.

249
00:18:33,843 --> 00:18:34,923
Oh!

250
00:18:37,083 --> 00:18:40,563
Oh, crawling through the jungle.

251
00:18:40,563 --> 00:18:42,163
Is there another way?

252
00:18:44,563 --> 00:18:45,963
Really enclosed here.

253
00:18:47,403 --> 00:18:49,483
I'm ready to be back at camp now.

254
00:18:49,483 --> 00:18:51,123
Burning up too much energy.

255
00:18:58,323 --> 00:18:59,843
Direction check.

256
00:19:01,323 --> 00:19:03,643
Heading...not north.

257
00:19:04,643 --> 00:19:07,083
Heading slightly west. North-west.

258
00:19:07,083 --> 00:19:08,443
Better straighten up.

259
00:19:09,883 --> 00:19:13,643
The goal is to get home by nightfall.

260
00:19:20,283 --> 00:19:21,283
I'm exhausted.

261
00:19:24,283 --> 00:19:25,483
(GROANS)

262
00:19:26,683 --> 00:19:28,203
Can't quite stand yet.

263
00:19:31,163 --> 00:19:32,243
Oh, no.

264
00:19:34,323 --> 00:19:36,483
(SIGHS) I left my compass back there.

265
00:20:19,843 --> 00:20:21,123
After only a week,

266
00:20:21,123 --> 00:20:23,723
I kind of get this place a little bit now.

267
00:20:23,723 --> 00:20:26,603
It seems that it just rains every 10 minutes

268
00:20:26,603 --> 00:20:29,843
and then it stops raining and then it rains again.

269
00:20:33,683 --> 00:20:36,563
Alright, yep. Here comes the rain.

270
00:20:36,563 --> 00:20:37,723
It's OK.

271
00:20:37,723 --> 00:20:40,923
You just got to manage that and have tasks ready to go inside.

272
00:20:41,963 --> 00:20:44,403
I'm working on my idea for a fishing reel.

273
00:20:46,243 --> 00:20:48,843
And I think that is the key.

274
00:20:48,843 --> 00:20:52,603
While you've got the strength, you need to keep going.

275
00:20:53,923 --> 00:20:58,283
To get all of your systems in place to start gathering food

276
00:20:58,283 --> 00:21:02,963
and not really take a rest because just resting burns energy.

277
00:21:02,963 --> 00:21:04,963
Alright, I'm going to take this thing for a test run.

278
00:21:06,763 --> 00:21:08,203
Here we go.

279
00:21:11,283 --> 00:21:13,243
Yes.

280
00:21:13,243 --> 00:21:15,123
Beauty.

281
00:21:15,123 --> 00:21:16,683
Come on, fishies.

282
00:21:16,683 --> 00:21:20,243
Being disciplined, I really think that is the way

283
00:21:20,243 --> 00:21:22,923
I'm going to stay out here the longest.

284
00:21:26,363 --> 00:21:29,243
The rain's picking up. Might be time to go inside.

285
00:21:49,723 --> 00:21:51,323
Ow! Kneecap.

286
00:21:53,443 --> 00:21:55,043
Oh, come on.

287
00:22:07,043 --> 00:22:08,963
There it is. Thank you, Lord.

288
00:22:08,963 --> 00:22:11,003
(SIGHS) Black compass.

289
00:22:11,003 --> 00:22:14,203
Let's get some fluoro on that before I lose it next.

290
00:22:18,323 --> 00:22:21,563
OK. Direction check.

291
00:22:21,563 --> 00:22:23,003
The plan is keep heading south.

292
00:22:25,523 --> 00:22:27,923
We'll pretty close to the way I came up, hopefully.

293
00:22:27,923 --> 00:22:30,803
To get home as quick as we can before we run out of light.

294
00:22:41,403 --> 00:22:43,363
There's got to be a faster way.

295
00:22:58,963 --> 00:23:03,043
I think I see some light at the end of the tunnel.

296
00:23:05,123 --> 00:23:07,523
Oh, thankfully, I think I'm heading downhill.

297
00:23:08,603 --> 00:23:12,203
I think I'm heading down the hill, down to the water.

298
00:23:14,483 --> 00:23:15,443
(SIGHS)

299
00:23:16,963 --> 00:23:20,003
Faith makes a big difference in getting through things.

300
00:23:20,003 --> 00:23:21,443
Knowing it's not all about

301
00:23:21,443 --> 00:23:23,563
the comfort that we have in this life,

302
00:23:23,563 --> 00:23:26,243
but there is something afterwards that's greater.

303
00:23:27,803 --> 00:23:31,243
Oh, hallelujah.

304
00:23:33,523 --> 00:23:35,443
Hard times come and hard times go.

305
00:23:36,563 --> 00:23:39,083
I can be uncomfortable, and that's OK.

306
00:23:43,563 --> 00:23:46,843
I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get back here tonight.

307
00:23:46,843 --> 00:23:48,283
So I'm really glad that I am.

308
00:23:49,363 --> 00:23:50,763
And I was exhausted.

309
00:23:51,803 --> 00:23:54,363
I did find lomandra, but, yeah,

310
00:23:54,363 --> 00:23:56,363
it wasn't worth going that far for it.

311
00:23:56,363 --> 00:23:57,683
See you, guys.

312
00:24:10,803 --> 00:24:12,483
I've got a decent break in the weather.

313
00:24:12,483 --> 00:24:14,923
I'm going to go check out those trail cams.

314
00:24:18,483 --> 00:24:20,123
Right, let's have a look.

315
00:24:28,963 --> 00:24:30,603
Oh, yes.

316
00:24:31,763 --> 00:24:32,923
Hello.

317
00:24:34,723 --> 00:24:36,283
Hello, little fella.

318
00:24:36,283 --> 00:24:38,563
I see your bottom.

319
00:24:38,563 --> 00:24:40,883
Right under that bush.

320
00:24:40,883 --> 00:24:42,043
That's his happy place.

321
00:24:42,043 --> 00:24:43,363
That's his happy place.

322
00:24:43,363 --> 00:24:44,803
That's cool.

323
00:24:51,763 --> 00:24:56,083
I've got a definite pademelon bouncing around back there.

324
00:24:57,883 --> 00:25:00,763
Maybe the smarter move is to stop what I'm doing...

325
00:25:02,563 --> 00:25:05,043
..make that trap now while the animal is there.

326
00:25:07,603 --> 00:25:09,403
OK. Got a plan.

327
00:25:16,243 --> 00:25:20,203
I'm going to just switch to making that trap full-time today.

328
00:25:22,723 --> 00:25:24,283
This is definitely my priority,

329
00:25:24,283 --> 00:25:28,003
because there's dinner out there and the quicker I finish this,

330
00:25:28,003 --> 00:25:29,523
which could be today,

331
00:25:29,523 --> 00:25:31,363
the quicker I could possibly be eating it.

332
00:25:31,363 --> 00:25:32,323
(WHISTLES)

333
00:25:33,363 --> 00:25:34,763
Check that out.

334
00:25:34,763 --> 00:25:36,323
It's starting to look like a net.

335
00:25:53,803 --> 00:25:55,603
(FARTS) Excuse me.

336
00:25:56,723 --> 00:25:59,403
Please don't put that on telly.

337
00:25:59,403 --> 00:26:03,203
I'm pretty happy that I did not catch another eel today.

338
00:26:03,203 --> 00:26:06,963
Oh, I just had eel all over everything.

339
00:26:06,963 --> 00:26:09,963
Even my water container still stinks like eel.

340
00:26:09,963 --> 00:26:14,323
Good calories, but yeah, a bit of a trade-off.

341
00:26:14,323 --> 00:26:17,123
You know, I'll try and catch a few fish or eels here and there,

342
00:26:17,123 --> 00:26:20,563
but I was super excited to get some bush foods happening.

343
00:26:22,763 --> 00:26:25,083
A few more food sources in the pot.

344
00:26:26,123 --> 00:26:27,243
As a wildlife biologist,

345
00:26:27,243 --> 00:26:31,043
I've spent a career learning about Australia's flora and fauna.

346
00:26:31,043 --> 00:26:35,123
Understanding what plant species are there that I can use,

347
00:26:35,123 --> 00:26:39,003
I think that'll be a real asset to me out on the land.

348
00:26:41,003 --> 00:26:43,763
£ Let's get some berries in your belly. £

349
00:26:49,883 --> 00:26:53,603
So this little shrub is what's called coffee berry,

350
00:26:53,603 --> 00:26:57,563
and it has these little red berries on them that are edible.

351
00:26:57,563 --> 00:26:59,763
They're actually a really good source of vitamin C.

352
00:27:01,203 --> 00:27:05,403
I'm just going to crush it and put it there.

353
00:27:07,523 --> 00:27:11,163
And that's a really sensitive part of my body.

354
00:27:12,683 --> 00:27:15,603
And so I'll know if there's any reaction...

355
00:27:15,603 --> 00:27:16,763
..that I shouldn't eat them.

356
00:27:19,323 --> 00:27:22,603
But what I might do is collect any berries that I can find.

357
00:27:22,603 --> 00:27:25,723
Take them back to camp, maybe have some for dinner.

358
00:27:29,283 --> 00:27:33,563
There's this imagined experience of what I'd be like out here,

359
00:27:33,563 --> 00:27:37,523
you know, versus what I'm actually like out here.

360
00:27:37,523 --> 00:27:40,443
You feel connected to the land.

361
00:27:40,443 --> 00:27:44,963
But I don't feel any inspiration whatsoever to hunt and kill.

362
00:27:44,963 --> 00:27:47,083
And I think I just need to sit with that

363
00:27:47,083 --> 00:27:49,563
and realise that's OK.

364
00:27:51,323 --> 00:27:53,763
I'll make sure there was no reaction.

365
00:27:53,763 --> 00:27:55,843
Looks great.

366
00:27:55,843 --> 00:27:56,843
Looks fine.

367
00:27:57,883 --> 00:27:58,963
Here they are.

368
00:28:04,203 --> 00:28:05,163
Hmm.

369
00:28:06,683 --> 00:28:08,683
Lots of little seeds in it. Kind of like a...

370
00:28:09,803 --> 00:28:11,563
..a raspberry.

371
00:28:11,563 --> 00:28:13,563
Hmm. Kind of sweet, too.

372
00:28:14,603 --> 00:28:16,003
They're pretty darn good.

373
00:28:17,563 --> 00:28:19,923
I'm pretty happy with that. That was bloody delicious.

374
00:28:26,003 --> 00:28:27,523
OK.

375
00:28:27,523 --> 00:28:29,723
Saturated backpack.

376
00:28:29,723 --> 00:28:31,003
This is the moment.

377
00:28:31,003 --> 00:28:33,603
Move my stuff in and put the tarp on.

378
00:28:35,283 --> 00:28:38,363
Today, with this beautiful weather,

379
00:28:38,363 --> 00:28:42,443
got the chance to stick to the plan of trying to get a roof over this

380
00:28:42,443 --> 00:28:46,283
and move in to a bigger space, more room,

381
00:28:46,283 --> 00:28:50,323
and be just a little bit more comfortable. (LAUGHS)

382
00:28:51,923 --> 00:28:53,683
Like my dad always said...

383
00:28:55,043 --> 00:28:56,803
..you got to have good eaves on a house.

384
00:28:59,603 --> 00:29:01,403
The shack is complete.

385
00:29:03,123 --> 00:29:05,283
I don't know if it's waterproof yet, but we'll find out.

386
00:29:06,283 --> 00:29:09,683
So, we'll go through the front door.

387
00:29:09,683 --> 00:29:12,843
(KNOCKS ON WALL) Hello?

388
00:29:12,843 --> 00:29:14,563
Nope, no-one's home. Good.

389
00:29:14,563 --> 00:29:17,123
I reckon I'll put the king bed here.

390
00:29:17,123 --> 00:29:19,483
Probably the fridge in the corner,

391
00:29:19,483 --> 00:29:22,083
the microwave on top of the fridge.

392
00:29:23,283 --> 00:29:26,843
Yeah, I reckon that will do me. For now, anyway.

393
00:29:26,843 --> 00:29:28,763
(CHUCKLES)

394
00:29:31,283 --> 00:29:34,963
You don't know how good I feel to have this done.

395
00:29:34,963 --> 00:29:39,003
It's been such a journey, the last five days.

396
00:29:39,003 --> 00:29:42,043
It's given me great energy all of a sudden,

397
00:29:42,043 --> 00:29:43,403
It's given me great energy all of a sudden,

398
00:29:43,403 --> 00:29:44,923
now that it's done.

399
00:29:46,523 --> 00:29:49,483
And I really look forward to the time ahead here

400
00:29:49,483 --> 00:29:51,723
where I can start to go fishing finally.

401
00:29:53,643 --> 00:29:56,923
Just start enjoying this beautiful area.

402
00:30:17,083 --> 00:30:21,003
I really wanted to collect firewood, but it's way too wet.

403
00:30:21,003 --> 00:30:23,083
Like, I don't even know where to start.

404
00:30:24,563 --> 00:30:26,443
I did make that door too big.

405
00:30:27,723 --> 00:30:31,363
Whenever that northerly wind comes through...

406
00:30:33,083 --> 00:30:34,043
Whew!

407
00:30:35,643 --> 00:30:36,643
Freezing.

408
00:30:40,603 --> 00:30:42,283
My great-grandmother...

409
00:30:43,603 --> 00:30:47,403
..she's a big part of the reason why I'm out here...

410
00:30:49,243 --> 00:30:50,723
..doing this.

411
00:30:50,723 --> 00:30:53,563
She was part of the Stolen Generations.

412
00:30:53,563 --> 00:30:56,443
If she can go through what she went through,

413
00:30:56,443 --> 00:30:58,803
I can go through this.

414
00:31:01,603 --> 00:31:05,803
She was stolen at the age of five from her mother.

415
00:31:05,803 --> 00:31:11,483
She was just taken for her looks, whatever, the assimilation policy.

416
00:31:11,483 --> 00:31:13,003
And bang, off they go.

417
00:31:14,043 --> 00:31:16,003
We don't know what happened to her father.

418
00:31:17,043 --> 00:31:21,443
Her brother was dropped down a water well.

419
00:31:21,443 --> 00:31:23,403
And drowned, obviously.

420
00:31:23,403 --> 00:31:26,083
And her mother was stolen

421
00:31:26,083 --> 00:31:30,003
and sent to a mental institution in Wiradjuri country, in Orange.

422
00:31:32,763 --> 00:31:36,323
For 45 years, they thought each other were dead.

423
00:31:38,043 --> 00:31:42,123
And yet they were four hours...

424
00:31:42,123 --> 00:31:44,123
..away.

425
00:31:44,123 --> 00:31:45,883
You know? But yet,

426
00:31:45,883 --> 00:31:49,283
she never complained about the world whatsoever.

427
00:31:50,683 --> 00:31:52,043
She was so strong.

428
00:31:55,843 --> 00:31:58,403
Tell you what, you want to talk about resilience?

429
00:32:01,323 --> 00:32:02,483
You put...

430
00:32:04,243 --> 00:32:07,643
..100 of my ancestors lined up in a row,

431
00:32:07,643 --> 00:32:09,963
within the first 50 years of colonisation

432
00:32:09,963 --> 00:32:12,723
or whatever you want to call it in this country,

433
00:32:12,723 --> 00:32:16,843
it came down to three being left alive,

434
00:32:16,843 --> 00:32:20,843
from either being murdered or died from disease.

435
00:32:20,843 --> 00:32:26,043
So I'm a living member of one of those three members.

436
00:32:27,563 --> 00:32:29,483
And that, I'm proud of.

437
00:32:31,163 --> 00:32:34,323
And that is what will help keep me out here.

438
00:32:42,563 --> 00:32:46,003
Alone Australia is brought to you by Kia.

439
00:32:46,003 --> 00:32:48,363
Experience the ultimate human endurance

440
00:32:48,363 --> 00:32:52,523
as 10 contestants battle to survive alone in the Tasmanian wilderness,

441
00:32:52,523 --> 00:32:56,323
with the winner taking home a prize worth $250,000.

442
00:33:17,683 --> 00:33:19,643
(HUMS)

443
00:33:23,483 --> 00:33:25,923
(SINGS)

444
00:33:30,843 --> 00:33:33,283
That's the Happy Sunshine song.

445
00:33:33,283 --> 00:33:35,803
Today I am making my bed.

446
00:33:35,803 --> 00:33:37,283
And when I say making my bed,

447
00:33:37,283 --> 00:33:42,323
I don't mean like putting my fine Egyptian cotton sheets on it,

448
00:33:42,323 --> 00:33:44,243
fluffing up the doona.

449
00:33:44,243 --> 00:33:45,643
No.

450
00:33:45,643 --> 00:33:48,963
When I say making my bed, I mean 'making' my bed.

451
00:33:54,363 --> 00:33:57,803
My strategy is still not to even worry about food.

452
00:33:57,803 --> 00:34:00,603
Just to work on this shelter,

453
00:34:00,603 --> 00:34:05,483
so I have a home, because I want to be out here for 90 days.

454
00:34:10,003 --> 00:34:15,323
My body is 52, and there are things that my body can no longer do.

455
00:34:18,043 --> 00:34:22,043
And it just requires a complete adaptation

456
00:34:22,043 --> 00:34:24,603
of the way I go about things.

457
00:34:24,603 --> 00:34:26,363
I just have to be slow.

458
00:34:30,003 --> 00:34:32,123
Taking my weight.

459
00:34:32,123 --> 00:34:33,523
That feels good.

460
00:34:33,523 --> 00:34:35,283
(GASPS)

461
00:34:35,283 --> 00:34:36,483
That's one.

462
00:34:38,283 --> 00:34:40,403
Now I've got to do the other one.

463
00:34:43,363 --> 00:34:47,083
I have to just keep dropping into Earth time.

464
00:34:48,883 --> 00:34:50,963
This takes as long as it takes.

465
00:34:52,523 --> 00:34:57,323
£ Just keep going, even when it's snowing

466
00:34:57,323 --> 00:35:01,923
£ Just keep going till you get there. £

467
00:35:20,163 --> 00:35:22,443
Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho!

468
00:35:23,483 --> 00:35:24,723
(SIGHS)

469
00:35:26,043 --> 00:35:27,643
I have a bed and...

470
00:35:29,123 --> 00:35:32,003
..it's just the beginning of being actually at home

471
00:35:32,003 --> 00:35:34,403
rather than sleeping rough.

472
00:35:34,403 --> 00:35:37,243
So I'm very, very happy right now.

473
00:35:51,083 --> 00:35:54,963
My house is looking a bit like a house.

474
00:35:57,923 --> 00:35:59,003
Look at that.

475
00:36:00,203 --> 00:36:03,403
(GROANS)

476
00:36:05,763 --> 00:36:07,443
It's a very dishevelled house,

477
00:36:07,443 --> 00:36:10,003
but it's kind of a house at the moment.

478
00:36:16,523 --> 00:36:17,923
(GASPS) What is that?

479
00:36:36,683 --> 00:36:38,523
That's a platypus.

480
00:36:41,603 --> 00:36:43,763
That's so exciting.

481
00:36:43,763 --> 00:36:45,403
Wow.

482
00:36:48,643 --> 00:36:50,443
A platypus visited me.

483
00:36:56,083 --> 00:36:58,603
It all feels very doable right now.

484
00:37:00,123 --> 00:37:02,083
And I'm very glad to be here.

485
00:37:19,883 --> 00:37:22,803
£ Lots of knots, tying knots never ends

486
00:37:22,803 --> 00:37:24,043
£ Just knotty not. £

487
00:37:25,843 --> 00:37:27,723
Oh, no. I've had a hiccup here.

488
00:37:27,723 --> 00:37:30,003
It's boring!

489
00:37:30,003 --> 00:37:31,963
I don't want to do you any more!

490
00:37:31,963 --> 00:37:33,523
Just be finished!

491
00:37:38,563 --> 00:37:39,723
Let's go hunting.

492
00:37:39,723 --> 00:37:42,803
Let's go for a little hunt, what do youse reckon?

493
00:37:46,563 --> 00:37:48,643
Can't fault this place at all.

494
00:37:48,643 --> 00:37:50,363
It's beautiful.

495
00:37:50,363 --> 00:37:52,843
The only one thing I'm missing is food. That's it.

496
00:37:54,003 --> 00:37:57,043
Let's go possum hunting. (GROANS)

497
00:37:57,043 --> 00:37:58,043
Let's go possum hunting. (GROANS)

498
00:37:58,043 --> 00:38:00,243
I just haven't seen much.

499
00:38:00,243 --> 00:38:02,243
Can't even see a set of eyes.

500
00:38:05,603 --> 00:38:07,923
I'm going to need to get some meat.

501
00:38:10,763 --> 00:38:14,203
Come out and sacrifice thyself, young possum.

502
00:38:16,803 --> 00:38:18,923
That doesn't work either.

503
00:38:18,923 --> 00:38:21,083
Bloody hell.

504
00:38:21,083 --> 00:38:22,403
I'll be happy with a snake.

505
00:38:22,403 --> 00:38:25,723
Just give me a snake. Give me something!

506
00:38:25,723 --> 00:38:27,083
(LAUGHS)

507
00:38:28,483 --> 00:38:31,843
Righto, let's crack on. Talking too much crap.

508
00:38:34,403 --> 00:38:35,883
(WHISTLES)

509
00:38:36,963 --> 00:38:39,923
I reckon without a doubt there's a possum in this tree.

510
00:38:45,123 --> 00:38:46,643
Wow, this is so creepy.

511
00:38:51,843 --> 00:38:54,243
Oh, it goes so far.

512
00:38:59,643 --> 00:39:01,083
Can't even see.

513
00:39:02,603 --> 00:39:05,123
I wonder if that's a snake.

514
00:39:05,123 --> 00:39:07,003
Whoa!

515
00:39:07,003 --> 00:39:08,603
Bloody hell, I'm on edge.

516
00:39:13,043 --> 00:39:14,363
(GRUNTS)

517
00:39:16,323 --> 00:39:18,803
That's crazy.

518
00:39:18,803 --> 00:39:20,643
I reckon there's definitely a possum in there, but...

519
00:39:21,923 --> 00:39:23,683
..there's no way he's going to be down here.

520
00:39:26,243 --> 00:39:29,003
You live another day, my friend.

521
00:39:38,763 --> 00:39:41,483
Everyone's gone home. Like, I'm literally alone.

522
00:39:42,683 --> 00:39:45,563
Like, it's like Noah's brought his ark down here

523
00:39:45,563 --> 00:39:47,563
and gone, "Hey, everyone, jump on.

524
00:39:47,563 --> 00:39:51,203
"Let's piss off for a bit while Chris hangs out here for...

525
00:39:51,203 --> 00:39:54,043
"Well, as long as it takes him to go nuts.

526
00:39:54,043 --> 00:39:55,403
"Probably won't be too long."

527
00:39:56,403 --> 00:39:58,123
And then they'll all come back.

528
00:39:59,443 --> 00:40:02,563
Nice one, Noah. You and your stupid bloody ark.

529
00:40:02,563 --> 00:40:03,763
Alright, let's go fishing.

530
00:40:05,043 --> 00:40:06,603
I feel like I've got Buckley's chance

531
00:40:06,603 --> 00:40:09,883
of catching a rodent, possum.

532
00:40:09,883 --> 00:40:13,203
So I'm just going to concentrate on the water.

533
00:40:13,203 --> 00:40:14,523
Oh, sunshine.

534
00:40:16,363 --> 00:40:19,683
Oh, thank you, baby Jesus!

535
00:40:23,563 --> 00:40:25,723
I've got hooks and plenty of line,

536
00:40:25,723 --> 00:40:28,603
so might as well get him in the drink,

537
00:40:28,603 --> 00:40:30,243
get him working hard.

538
00:40:30,243 --> 00:40:31,923
It's one thing I can control.

539
00:40:36,723 --> 00:40:38,443
Fishing is what I know.

540
00:40:38,443 --> 00:40:39,643
(GROANS)

541
00:40:40,723 --> 00:40:42,123
There you are.

542
00:40:43,283 --> 00:40:46,523
One, two, three, four, five.

543
00:40:50,563 --> 00:40:53,083
Eat. Eat thy bait, thy trout.

544
00:41:14,043 --> 00:41:15,363
(SIGHS)

545
00:41:22,963 --> 00:41:24,763
No rods are moving.

546
00:41:28,763 --> 00:41:29,723
It's not ideal.

547
00:41:39,923 --> 00:41:43,723
I wonder if anyone else is in, like, a really different spot

548
00:41:43,723 --> 00:41:47,243
where they're just smashing possums and fish.

549
00:41:48,323 --> 00:41:50,003
Maybe I've been stitched up.

550
00:42:05,443 --> 00:42:10,123
Last night, I finished the big net for this trap today.

551
00:42:10,123 --> 00:42:12,203
If I get this trap set up,

552
00:42:12,203 --> 00:42:14,923
could possibly mean pademelon for dinner.

553
00:42:16,443 --> 00:42:18,683
But I'll have to just do two trips.

554
00:42:23,243 --> 00:42:25,483
Yes! Got it.

555
00:42:25,483 --> 00:42:27,843
Pademelons are active

556
00:42:27,843 --> 00:42:30,163
within an hour or two of sunset.

557
00:42:30,163 --> 00:42:32,403
It's going to be about that wide.

558
00:42:32,403 --> 00:42:34,043
I think there's a very good chance

559
00:42:34,043 --> 00:42:37,243
they're going to follow the trail that I'm setting my trap on.

560
00:42:37,243 --> 00:42:39,003
Alright, here goes my trigger mechanism.

561
00:42:39,003 --> 00:42:41,403
90 degrees to the tree.

562
00:42:45,323 --> 00:42:50,923
So, I'm tying another tripline to the top of one of my nunchucks.

563
00:42:50,923 --> 00:42:53,443
So, the nunchucks go together.

564
00:42:55,163 --> 00:42:57,043
This piece goes under the fork.

565
00:42:57,043 --> 00:42:57,323
This piece goes under the fork.

566
00:43:01,163 --> 00:43:03,643
Alright. Plenty of weight on there.

567
00:43:06,523 --> 00:43:09,443
Then I'll pull it out and it releases.

568
00:43:19,363 --> 00:43:22,163
We'll just see how much pressure it takes to get through.

569
00:43:23,763 --> 00:43:25,883
Great. Good. Alright.

570
00:43:27,523 --> 00:43:31,083
So now it's time to set the net up in situ.

571
00:43:33,243 --> 00:43:35,683
Bang this stake in over here.

572
00:43:47,603 --> 00:43:49,163
Right, I think I'm done.

573
00:43:49,163 --> 00:43:50,603
That's finally set.

574
00:43:51,603 --> 00:43:54,963
Obviously, the tripwire gets pulled, net goes up.

575
00:43:54,963 --> 00:43:56,843
All four corners of the net.

576
00:43:56,843 --> 00:44:00,083
Log goes down and can't hit the ground and hit anything else,

577
00:44:00,083 --> 00:44:02,123
just in case there was something else underneath.

578
00:44:02,123 --> 00:44:03,283
I'm pretty happy with it,

579
00:44:03,283 --> 00:44:04,843
but I probably need to get out of here

580
00:44:04,843 --> 00:44:05,963
because it's getting dark

581
00:44:05,963 --> 00:44:07,643
and I don't want them to be waking up and hearing me.

582
00:44:09,523 --> 00:44:11,683
It seems like a solid trap.

583
00:44:12,923 --> 00:44:14,363
And I can't wait to go down there

584
00:44:14,363 --> 00:44:15,723
and just listen out really carefully.

585
00:44:15,723 --> 00:44:17,363
And it's a really quiet night,

586
00:44:17,363 --> 00:44:20,403
so I'm going to be listening out like nothing else.

587
00:44:27,323 --> 00:44:30,723
Alright, it's probably about four hours after dark.

588
00:44:32,723 --> 00:44:36,003
It's probably the time that the pademelons would have been through.

589
00:44:40,803 --> 00:44:43,883
I don't know whether to be hopeful or not.

590
00:44:43,883 --> 00:44:46,763
Like, it looks pretty good, but I didn't test it, you know?

591
00:44:51,043 --> 00:44:53,563
It's just... I don't know.

592
00:44:53,563 --> 00:44:55,803
I don't want to get my hopes up.

593
00:45:06,563 --> 00:45:09,683
Alone Australia is brought to you by Kia.

594
00:45:09,683 --> 00:45:12,363
Experience the ultimate human endurance

595
00:45:12,363 --> 00:45:16,523
as 10 contestants battle to survive alone in the Tasmanian wilderness,

596
00:45:16,523 --> 00:45:20,363
with the winner taking home a prize worth $250,000.

597
00:45:43,683 --> 00:45:47,283
I haven't heard any noises in the bush tonight.

598
00:45:47,283 --> 00:45:50,003
And it's been really quiet as normal, so...

599
00:45:54,963 --> 00:45:58,683
Maybe it's because one of them got trapped.

600
00:46:07,003 --> 00:46:08,443
No, it's still set.

601
00:46:11,323 --> 00:46:13,203
Still set exactly as is.

602
00:46:16,363 --> 00:46:18,683
Might just check the trail cam.

603
00:46:23,603 --> 00:46:24,803
You're kidding me.

604
00:46:26,803 --> 00:46:31,803
He's standing on the edge of the net.

605
00:46:31,803 --> 00:46:34,203
He's gone around the tripwire.

606
00:46:35,323 --> 00:46:38,723
And he's definitely prodding around everywhere

607
00:46:38,723 --> 00:46:40,283
because I've disturbed it.

608
00:46:42,403 --> 00:46:45,923
Wow, that was so close. So close.

609
00:46:51,323 --> 00:46:53,083
Been a long day, but...

610
00:46:55,043 --> 00:46:57,043
I'm happy. I've achieved a lot.

611
00:46:58,763 --> 00:47:01,523
It's just time to start bringing in the bacon.

612
00:47:01,523 --> 00:47:03,803
And I got quite close, so...

613
00:47:06,163 --> 00:47:07,643
Have to wait and see what happens.

614
00:47:09,283 --> 00:47:13,243
When I find a weakness, I tend to study it a lot,

615
00:47:13,243 --> 00:47:16,803
to the point where I can almost consider it a strength.

616
00:47:18,163 --> 00:47:22,123
I'm going to apply myself 100% to this challenge.

617
00:47:32,243 --> 00:47:34,483
Rains are back now.

618
00:47:38,243 --> 00:47:41,523
The shelter, my roof and that is just swaying.

619
00:48:47,323 --> 00:48:49,723
Ay, yi, yi, yi, yi, ya.

620
00:48:58,203 --> 00:49:01,963
You'll catch a fish today. That's what's happening.

621
00:49:03,363 --> 00:49:08,403
Man, my brain is just scattered. It needs some nutrients.

622
00:49:10,083 --> 00:49:12,643
It's like fishing in an empty dam.

623
00:49:15,083 --> 00:49:16,723
Starting to lose a bit of hope

624
00:49:16,723 --> 00:49:20,123
on my abilities to catch food out here.

625
00:49:22,043 --> 00:49:23,643
I don't know, guys.

626
00:49:25,443 --> 00:49:26,723
Don't know what to do.

627
00:49:28,923 --> 00:49:31,483
It's going to be a long day if I can't shake this feeling.

628
00:49:32,843 --> 00:49:37,603
My body and mind just won't operate on this diet.

629
00:49:40,443 --> 00:49:43,643
This fucking food situation is fucking shit.

630
00:49:46,163 --> 00:49:49,883
I need to fucking eat. That's the problem.

631
00:49:49,883 --> 00:49:52,443
That's it. If I can't fucking eat, will I...

632
00:49:52,443 --> 00:49:55,243
(GROANS) Stop thinking.

633
00:49:55,243 --> 00:49:56,203
Stop thinking.

634
00:50:01,523 --> 00:50:04,083
I'm losing my shit, eh? I really am.

635
00:50:05,323 --> 00:50:07,243
I've almost had a gutful.

636
00:50:11,563 --> 00:50:13,923
This GoPro can go fuck itself.

637
00:50:27,843 --> 00:50:28,803
(QUIETLY) Come on.

638
00:50:31,843 --> 00:50:33,323
(QUIETLY) Stop being a fucking idiot.

639
00:50:47,923 --> 00:50:49,523
You know what, till we fucking eat

640
00:50:49,523 --> 00:50:53,603
you can fucking burn the rest for all I give a fuck.

641
00:50:55,043 --> 00:50:56,003
Fuck off!

642
00:50:57,643 --> 00:50:59,203
Oh, this is terrible!

643
00:50:59,203 --> 00:51:01,523
I fucking hate feeling like this.

644
00:51:11,603 --> 00:51:13,963
Fuck this. I'm fucking...

645
00:51:13,963 --> 00:51:16,163
I'm over it. I'm fucking over it.

646
00:51:28,163 --> 00:51:31,043
This food situation is halting me

647
00:51:31,043 --> 00:51:33,483
from achieving what I want to achieve.

648
00:51:33,483 --> 00:51:37,203
And it's now became a challenge of starvation,

649
00:51:37,203 --> 00:51:40,923
not a challenge of being out here alone.

650
00:51:42,763 --> 00:51:45,403
Suddenly going downhill very, very fast.

651
00:51:48,883 --> 00:51:52,043
MIKE: If I can get that pademelon, I've probably won.

652
00:51:52,043 --> 00:51:53,003
Yeah.

653
00:51:54,003 --> 00:51:55,723
It's the self-care that feels so nice

654
00:51:55,723 --> 00:51:57,723
and it makes this place feel more homely.

655
00:51:57,723 --> 00:51:59,603
Yeah, baby, I got bush soap.

656
00:51:59,603 --> 00:52:01,883
DUANE: I came into this...

657
00:52:01,883 --> 00:52:03,003
Yeah!

658
00:52:03,003 --> 00:52:04,403
..thinking I was going to win.

659
00:52:04,403 --> 00:52:05,843
Fuck. What am I doing out here?

660
00:52:05,843 --> 00:52:06,883
It's not about that.

661
00:52:06,883 --> 00:52:10,483
If I can't feel my brain, how do I continue this journey?

662
00:52:10,483 --> 00:52:13,603
I've definitely switched over into ketosis.

663
00:52:13,603 --> 00:52:15,123
One press of a button.

664
00:52:15,123 --> 00:52:16,843
(PHONE RINGS)

665
00:52:16,843 --> 00:52:18,843
You're fucking kidding me.

666
