1
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,440
MAN: The South Island of New
Zealand, it's an epic place.
2
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:31,960
It's wet...
3
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:35,360
..it's cold...
4
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:38,240
..it's snowy.
5
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,880
If you don't respect
the environment here,
6
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:43,520
it will slap you hard.
7
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,160
WOMAN: I just need to
bring some food in.
8
00:00:47,160 --> 00:00:48,600
MAN: Look at that stonker!
9
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:49,600
(LAUGHS)
10
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,720
MAN: Last night there was deer
all around me.
11
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:54,040
That's freaking delicious.
12
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:57,960
WOMAN: I know how tough
it's going to be.
13
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,560
Oh, my God, I miss them.
14
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:07,600
You've gotta feel safe,
otherwise you'd just die out here.
15
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,360
It doesn't feel as bad
as it looks. It feels worse.
16
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,080
MAN: This shit just got lit.
17
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:13,080
Jesus!
18
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,640
WOMAN: I'm scared enough to have
my emergency tap-out in my hand.
19
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:21,360
MAN: The last person standing,
they take home $250,000.
20
00:01:22,960 --> 00:01:26,360
(PHONE RINGS)
MAN: Somebody help me!
21
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,640
MAN: It's a male.
22
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:43,600
Such a sense of relief knowing
I have food for a couple of days,
23
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:48,440
I'm going to take a chance
and I'm gonna move to the sun.
24
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,080
Oh! I've arrived.
25
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,960
MAN: Everything's wet under foot,
so you just fall over.
26
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,600
Not real good for a bow hunter.
27
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:00,600
It's not just surviving
the hunting and the fishing.
28
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,160
Wow. I think I've got a couple
of hundred bites on me now.
29
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,160
WOMAN: I've come to berry land.
30
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:10,680
(BURPS)
31
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,720
I've just had diarrhoea all night.
32
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,880
I'm wondering
if that might take me out.
33
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,360
MAN: I've noticed
that happened a few times
34
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,440
where I've sort of
gotten a bit lightheaded.
35
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,800
I honestly dunno
how I'm still functioning.
36
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,160
It's so easy to get lost in here.
37
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:27,800
I don't trust my judgement,
38
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,720
I don't trust my physicality,
39
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:33,080
and I sort of don't trust
my own psychology either.
40
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:34,480
I feel trapped.
41
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,280
I feel trapped in this little spot.
42
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:10,560
I'm finished.
43
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:13,720
Yeah, I'm officially tapping out.
44
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:18,440
Yeah, I-I can't...
45
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:21,640
I can't keep going.
46
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,480
I've reached the limits
of what I can do.
47
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:43,880
Hello!
48
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:53,360
Oh!
49
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,760
Sandflies...love the eyeballs.
50
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,320
I just...I feel like
I don't trust myself,
51
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,360
um, out in this environment.
52
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,680
Um, been getting these dizzy spells
53
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:18,400
and I've, um, just feel really
sort of muddled and, um...
54
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:22,800
..stretched, I suppose.
55
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:27,880
Um, yeah,
I think I've reached my physical,
56
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,160
but probably more
my mental limit as well.
57
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,640
I dunno if I can go another day
without food in the belly.
58
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,800
It's, um...
59
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,560
Yeah, I think psychologically
it's too much to deal with
60
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:43,040
and, yeah, I'm...I'm ready to...
61
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,080
I'm ready to call it a day.
62
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:53,640
I feel like I've...I've tried
everything within my...my skillset
63
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,560
to be able to make a go of it here.
64
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,680
But the land,
65
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,680
it just kicked my ass.
66
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,320
It's a bittersweet, but
I definitely don't have any regrets.
67
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,200
It's been a massive learning curve
68
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:12,800
for how much I don't know about
my physical and mental limitations.
69
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,880
It's been pretty frustrating.
70
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,000
But I guess often the best
experiences that we can have
71
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,520
do humble us.
72
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:31,840
Probably more than anything
I just...
73
00:05:31,840 --> 00:05:34,960
..I feel just an overwhelming
sense of gratitude
74
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,480
for the experience
that I've been able to have.
75
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,880
It really is
a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
76
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:10,880
Gonna work this area,
77
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,720
see what we can get out of it
as far as worms.
78
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,120
Oh, straight off the cuff.
79
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:23,600
It's a good one too.
80
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,040
Rocking robin...
81
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:30,760
..where's your digging stick?
82
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,640
I come here and turn it over
and you take all the worms.
83
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:37,760
You go and get yourself
a digging stick.
84
00:06:38,840 --> 00:06:42,200
I've got the water, shelter,
fire squared away.
85
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,720
But then after that comes in food
on the priority list.
86
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,800
So, I'll, uh,
I'll go and sort that out.
87
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,280
Get some lines in the water.
88
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:52,440
Gonna be a good day.
89
00:06:55,840 --> 00:06:57,680
Don't get me wrong,
I want something in my stomach.
90
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,440
And to be honest, it probably
surprised me in some ways
91
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,360
that I haven't been overly hungry.
92
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,720
It's only when I think about it that
you sort of start thinking of home
93
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,920
and you think of
your wife's potato bake
94
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,800
or her cauliflower and cheese sauce
and things like that.
95
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,560
Ooh, we might have something
on here.
96
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,400
We have - caught up in sticks
and stuff.
97
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:25,760
Come on, buddy.
98
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,560
Oh, come on, come on, come on,
come on.
99
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:31,120
Oh, it's an eel.
100
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,120
Sorry, buddy.
101
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,560
Bear with me.
I'll get you back in that water.
102
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,600
OK, away you go.
103
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:48,040
Off...off to live
for another 50 years.
104
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,400
Uh, once again,
the ebbs and the flows.
105
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,600
Excited to catch something,
106
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,720
um, sad that it was an eel.
107
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,520
You would think just 'cause you've
got worms on the end of a hook
108
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,680
and some...some line out
in the water and you've seen fish,
109
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,080
you think,
"Oh, no, food'll be easy."
110
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:14,760
I beg to differ.
111
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:25,400
I had intentionally not wanted
to eat for the first week.
112
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,160
I wanted my body to know that
you're without food
113
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:32,120
and you are to
start utilising, you know,
114
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,840
ketosis to start eating up the fat.
115
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,800
Well, hopefully the eels
are disappearing for the day
116
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,520
and the trout are taking over.
117
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,160
I've been, um,
fishing most of the day.
118
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:50,960
I've had numerous lines in -
119
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,480
one, two, three, four -
for part of the day,
120
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:55,760
and three for most of the day.
121
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,800
I'd love to give you
a stack more good news,
122
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,360
but, hey, I'm fresh out of it.
123
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:06,280
The fish are less plentiful
than I expected.
124
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,120
Uh, more difficult to catch,
125
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:13,360
and as yet unsuccessful in
securing anything from the water.
126
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,920
Uh, just going along,
pulling the lines in.
127
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,760
Just the last of, um,
the last of the daylight.
128
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,400
Oh, we might be on.
129
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,360
What are we? Head cam.
On, recording.
130
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:39,880
Recording.
131
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,560
Hey, hey, hey, we've got something.
132
00:09:50,560 --> 00:09:52,720
It's on the surface,
it's not an eel.
133
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,080
Hold on, baby.
134
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,520
Come on, come on. Bring it in.
135
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,080
Ooh, we've got a trout!
136
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,320
Come on, all the way, all the way.
Here we go.
137
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:08,920
Here we go.
138
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,240
Ooh, yeah!
139
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,120
Got a trout.
140
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,840
Oh, so grateful for you.
141
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,880
Oh, look at that.
142
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:23,360
Look at that!
143
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,560
You beautiful thing.
144
00:10:27,560 --> 00:10:28,560
Thank you.
145
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:31,920
Thank you.
146
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:33,280
Let's make this humane.
147
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,240
Thank you so much.
148
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:39,600
Let's handle this quickly.
149
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:44,560
It's all over.
150
00:10:45,680 --> 00:10:49,360
Look, I thank you so much for
the sustenance you will bring me.
151
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,120
I hope you had a beautiful life.
152
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,000
Let's get that fire going, baby!
153
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:02,800
Ooh-whee!
154
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:09,000
This is a confirmation
that I can sustain myself here.
155
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,240
If there's...if there's trout
like this in this water, I'm good.
156
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,600
Here we go. This is gonna be a...
this is gonna be a great challenge.
157
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,120
That's it, keep going.
158
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:28,120
One fillet will be
a reasonably large meal.
159
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,120
I'll do half a fillet
and see how go.
160
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:33,680
And there's your heart.
161
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,120
I don't wanna overdo
my intake of food
162
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,400
if I haven't eaten for eight days.
163
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:50,000
Last thing I want to do is feel
nauseous at the end of it.
164
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:55,800
I'm about to have my first bit.
165
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,160
Got a few bones in him.
166
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:01,480
I can work around them.
167
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:08,680
Mm!
168
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,640
So good.
It's coming away from the skin.
169
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,080
I'm gonna be able
to consume the skin,
170
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:17,960
which has got
lots of good fats in it.
171
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:20,760
It's not an overly fatty fish,
172
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,760
but if there's any fats,
it'll be in the skin.
173
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,240
Surprisingly quite filling.
174
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,960
And the rest,
175
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,480
this cold wind, that'll...
that'll keep for a day or two.
176
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:39,920
That's not a problem.
177
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,240
Day eight done and dusted.
178
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,360
Ticking them off.
179
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,880
Awesome. Looking forward
to a good night's sleep.
180
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,520
(YAWNS)
181
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,160
Having such vivid, vivid dreams.
182
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,560
Dreamt I was at home last night.
183
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,320
In my dream, I really,
really thought I was at home
184
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,200
and I'm looking at my feet,
my bare feet, and thinking,
185
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:39,480
"How...how did I get here?
186
00:13:40,680 --> 00:13:44,440
"Obviously I've finished
my Alone journey early."
187
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,880
When I woke up,
I thought, my immediate thought was,
188
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:51,440
"I don't want to be here."
189
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,720
And I just feel so weak.
190
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,080
If I had gastro at home,
191
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,040
John would probably make me a soup.
192
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,840
Don't drink my tea, Tobes.
193
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,920
Eugh! (LAUGHS)
(CHUCKLES)
194
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,720
I live in a forest at home
with my husband and the dogs.
195
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,680
Two beautiful warm little dogs
that snuggle up against my tummy
196
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,520
and behind my knees
at night-time in bed.
197
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,640
I feel a bit daunted
by the...the idea
198
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,280
of being out there by myself
without you guys.
199
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,760
John has done some
really incredible adventures
200
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,920
like walking across Australia
unassisted,
201
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:38,080
living off bush foods.
202
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,680
So it motivates me
to perhaps go further
203
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,440
than I've gone before in myself.
204
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:44,880
Listen to your dreams.
205
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:48,800
I know they come to you in the night
and provide the answers.
206
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,720
So... But I don't need to
tell you any of that.
207
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:53,760
I miss him.
208
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:01,240
So I went down the hill
this morning to get more water.
209
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:04,880
It was such an effort.
210
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,080
I so wanted to throw up.
211
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:14,200
And I just kept telling myself,
"No, you're not gonna throw up,"
212
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,880
and stopping
and breathing deeply and...
213
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,600
Because once I start throwing up...
214
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:24,440
..it's game over.
215
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:30,800
I can't stay hydrated
if I'm throwing up my water.
216
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:42,880
It was a huge effort of will
this morning not to throw up.
217
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,240
(BURPS)
218
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,720
I thought about clean, crisp celery
219
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,720
and that helped.
220
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,320
It's not a very...
221
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,880
..nauseating vegetable.
222
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:04,680
Right here, right now,
223
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:08,520
I don't feel like I'm...
I'm gonna be here much longer.
224
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,520
But John said to me,
225
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:16,280
"Don't let those voices
of hopelessness run the show.
226
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:20,040
"Stay with the voice
that keeps on trying."
227
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:22,960
(BURPS)
228
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:27,840
Think of celery.
229
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,280
Crisp, clean celery.
230
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,040
(BURPS)
231
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,680
(RAIN PATTERS)
232
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:55,760
It is drizzling out here
at the moment,
233
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,240
so...just gonna get off the beach,
234
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:00,960
just go in the forest here.
235
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,400
There's a little mamaku sprout.
236
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:04,800
I'm just gonna go grab him.
237
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:06,400
This is gonna be tea tonight.
238
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:26,000
Been on the boil.
239
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:30,560
It's pretty hot.
240
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,200
Mm, look at that - greens.
241
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,200
Let's try this mamaku fern.
242
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:41,680
Ooh, she's hot.
243
00:17:49,360 --> 00:17:51,360
Sat on the beach today,
244
00:17:51,360 --> 00:17:53,000
bored out of me skull,
245
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:54,480
thinking about home too much.
246
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,200
Yes, thinking about home
way too much.
247
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,880
That's the worst part
about this place -
248
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,000
not having anything to do.
249
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:05,320
Wow, that's boring.
250
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:10,440
That is boring.
251
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,200
Especially coming from
a bloke like me
252
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,320
who doesn't do anything, rarely,
ever alone.
253
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,480
In the army
you don't even go to lunch alone.
254
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:21,360
Pretty flavourless.
255
00:18:21,360 --> 00:18:23,920
Edible, though, I guess.
256
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:31,120
So now I'm just sitting here
facing the...the reality
257
00:18:31,120 --> 00:18:34,120
of missing my friends and my family
258
00:18:34,120 --> 00:18:35,320
and Annie.
259
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,880
And that's the most important
thing - your family.
260
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,480
It's the most important thing to me,
and has been for a long time.
261
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,360
I've got a bit of a confession.
262
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,000
Right before I got on this show,
263
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,560
right before I got on the show,
264
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,640
I found out I was gonna be a father
for the first time.
265
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:06,080
Eight weeks.
266
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,680
Day one when I got out here,
she was eight weeks.
267
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,280
Like, 9.5 weeks tomorrow
268
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:14,720
and a couple days after,
269
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,640
you can find out whether
it's a boy or a girl.
270
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,040
They're all big moments...
271
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:23,680
..that I'm not there for.
272
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:30,680
I'd be absolutely kidding myself
273
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:36,360
if that wasn't...wreaking havoc
on my mind this whole time.
274
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,080
(SIGHS)
275
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:43,520
Like, I'm not struggling out here.
It's not hard.
276
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,280
You can just fish and hunt
277
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,800
and shit off the shore
for the rest of your bloody life,
278
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:50,120
if you wanted to.
279
00:19:50,120 --> 00:19:54,720
But home's calling
and it's a hard call to ignore.
280
00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:59,600
The only thing keeping me here,
really,
281
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:07,080
is the prospect of $250,000
to kickstart that child's life.
282
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:11,720
But every time I sit still
283
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,320
the voice comes back up.
284
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:16,760
How's she doing?
285
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:18,400
Not even 12 weeks yet.
286
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,800
You're not even
out of the bloody danger period
287
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,640
and you're here, not there.
288
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,920
Dunno what's going on.
289
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,200
I don't know how she's doing.
290
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:31,200
So...
291
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:33,760
..far out.
292
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,000
(SIGHS)
293
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,440
So, yep, I'm gonna sleep on it.
294
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:49,760
Might talk to you guys tomorrow.
295
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:32,640
I think this is how Queenslanders
enjoy the South Island.
296
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:34,960
It's just with their eyeballs.
297
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:43,600
So, I'm just finishing off
the, um, the fireplace.
298
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:49,480
That fire, I think,
has kept me here.
299
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,160
Even though I've had no food,
300
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:55,520
it's like if you're
warm and cosy in your home
301
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,000
then that's half the battle.
302
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,720
I wanted to double layer the rocks
303
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,880
because there's a fair bit of, um...
304
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:05,400
I don't know what you'd...
305
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,520
It's just this peat, almost.
306
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,200
And I imagine
307
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:13,880
that if that really dries out,
308
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:15,880
that it could just...pew!
309
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,760
You know? Just like that. Pew!
310
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,920
So, yeah, it's coming along nicely.
311
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:27,760
Goes up there
to my chimney out the back.
312
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,440
And I know that's my wall,
but it's only temporary.
313
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,320
One of the problems I'm faced with
314
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:38,400
is that I can't rely on
any kind of binding structure
315
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,440
like a clay or soil.
316
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,000
I'm totally relying on rocks.
317
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,200
I've gotta fill in
all the gaps with rocks.
318
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:56,320
So it might end up looking like
a bit of a mountain,
319
00:22:56,320 --> 00:23:00,480
but so be it to sleep peacefully
and not smoke myself out.
320
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:09,640
Everything you do
requires some effort.
321
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,280
'Cause I don't have a lot coming in,
322
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,320
I'm trying to minimise
my energy output.
323
00:23:19,360 --> 00:23:25,120
Might see a little worm down here
while I'm digging.
324
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,960
There's a cool breeze
coming in the front door.
325
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,960
I think there's
a nice little storm brewing,
326
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,080
definitely
coming from the mountains.
327
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:47,960
And that breeze
has just kicked in big-time.
328
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,560
You can see the waves on the lake -
329
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,600
normally very still.
330
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,320
So, I've turned my attention
to my shelter.
331
00:23:58,000 --> 00:23:59,920
Try and batten it down a bit.
332
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,480
Having a solid wall around you
333
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,520
is the best sense of security.
334
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:13,480
Every minute
it's picking up big-time.
335
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,280
And I'm gonna keep building.
336
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:16,920
This is just a wind protection.
337
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,160
Haven't actually got
my inside wall yet.
338
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:22,240
So I'll get my tarp ready
339
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,680
in case I need to string it
and it starts pouring or something.
340
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,240
So, as you can see, I'm just sort of
propping up wood at the moment
341
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,080
and then I'm hoping
to sort of lash it all in.
342
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:37,200
(WOOD CLATTERS)
343
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:38,640
Scared the bejesus out of me!
344
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,960
Just trying to get some bit
of protection going for the night.
345
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,080
Oh, that's a nice light one.
346
00:24:54,360 --> 00:24:55,960
There you go, mate.
347
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,200
There you go.
348
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,320
This is my home here.
349
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,680
You gotta feel comfortable and safe.
350
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,600
Oh, that instantly feels better.
351
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,400
Blocked that oncoming wind.
352
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,120
Warm, dry, food. Warm, dry, food.
353
00:25:14,120 --> 00:25:15,560
Warm, dry, food.
354
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:18,840
That's what keeps you alive.
355
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:27,200
On a personal note,
I've started bleeding again.
356
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,800
I just had a normal cycle,
now I'm having another one.
357
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,960
It's just God knows what.
358
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:38,560
My body gone into shock
359
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:42,000
releasing its last of its eggs
for life or something.
360
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,080
Well, you just start to worry,
you start to stress
361
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,000
that you're gonna lose
these extra calories
362
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,640
and you're...
it's not in the game plan.
363
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:57,280
I'm not having any more babies,
so be gone!
364
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:01,760
Both kids were...
365
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,400
What they were like in my womb
and growing inside of me
366
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,880
is exactly what they're like now.
367
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:16,520
One was slow and patient
and rollie and...
368
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:22,440
..and my second complete opposite -
369
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,840
full of life, kicking and screaming.
370
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,000
Of all the bleeds in my life...
371
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,280
..I wouldn't give any of it up.
372
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:40,400
(SNIFFS)
373
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:51,520
Happy tears.
374
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:55,080
Happy to have
such a beautiful family.
375
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,920
It looks like there was some snow
up on...on the peaks up there.
376
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:22,000
Beautiful sight.
377
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:27,840
Oh.
378
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,200
I think
what I would like to do today,
379
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,600
walk into the bush here
380
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,920
and set up a trail cam
381
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,160
because now we've had
a...a little bit of rain
382
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:42,360
hopefully creatures will
moving around a little bit more.
383
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:48,800
So I am gonna take the bow with me.
384
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,280
You never know
what you're gonna encounter.
385
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:02,280
I've never been hunting in my life
without breakfast
386
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,080
and food in my backpack.
387
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,640
With only hot water for breakfast...
388
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:14,480
..I'm just trying to conserve
as much energy as possible.
389
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:24,920
I came here with about
10 kilos more than my usual weight.
390
00:28:26,120 --> 00:28:29,640
It was really hard to put it on
'cause I work physically.
391
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:32,440
It's getting to crunch time now.
392
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,720
Like, if I'm losing weight...
393
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,600
I can tell I've lost some
with my belt.
394
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,560
But how much? I got no idea.
395
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:44,760
Oh, the intersection here.
396
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:50,160
We've got a game trail
coming that way, that way.
397
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:54,920
I think I'll use that tree there.
398
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,720
Fully aware that this challenge...
399
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:01,480
..this challenge will come to an end.
400
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:05,960
And if I haven't done my best...
401
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,480
(SIGHS) ..it will bug me forever.
402
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,640
So, I am doing my best.
403
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:25,920
My aim is to make it to 100 days
if I can.
404
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,680
Being able to hunt with my bow
405
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,800
increases my chances of doing that.
406
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:37,720
Interesting.
407
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:10,800
(WHISPERS) That got me excited
but...it wasn't.
408
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,840
Sometimes the eyes
play tricks on you.
409
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:18,880
It's called wishful thinking.
410
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:24,600
Let's go back.
411
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:31,520
It was a good walk.
412
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:37,080
But, yeah, it would've been better
with a...with a harvest.
413
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:44,280
Plan was to place the, um, trail cam
414
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:47,120
and, uh, I got that done.
415
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,200
So that's...that's good.
416
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:57,440
I'm trying to conserve energy
to last as long as I possibly can.
417
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:03,160
Hunting up in the hills
uses up a lot of energy.
418
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:06,680
So that's why I need to eat first.
419
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:11,000
Get a, um, a feed of, um,
fish into me.
420
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:17,800
If I can't catch fish...
421
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:21,600
..I can't stay here.
422
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:43,840
Oh!
423
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:52,880
When I found out
Annie was pregnant,
424
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,280
I didn't know
what the hell to think or feel.
425
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,800
And so I just kept
charging on forward,
426
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:05,400
like the right thing to do now
is to just...just keep going.
427
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:06,880
Now I'm regretting leaving.
428
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,200
Well, it feels like I kind of ran
away from that problem a little bit.
429
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:15,520
There it is.
430
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:18,920
10 days.
431
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:23,640
(SIGHS)
432
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,640
Not much compared to the
original plan of a couple months.
433
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,080
(PHONE RINGS)
434
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,000
Hey, this is Chace.
435
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:42,720
I'm officially tapping out.
436
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:50,240
The severity
and the reality of that situation
437
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,200
didn't set in till I was out here.
438
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:56,720
Mate, you're gonna be a father,
you're gonna have a family soon.
439
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,120
I think I was pushing those thoughts
to the back of my mind
440
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:00,520
on my way here.
441
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,600
I was hoping to use that as my fire.
442
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:08,080
But then as the veil of this land
peeled those layers away,
443
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:11,680
that fire was doused and
an entirely different fire was lit.
444
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,200
Here they come.
445
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:20,840
My ticket out of here.
446
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:35,200
G'day.
How are you feeling, mate?
447
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,040
Bit of relief.
448
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:40,120
Yeah, bit of relief
to see you coming in,
449
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,400
'cause I feel like
I've made the right choice.
450
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:45,080
Why are you tapping out?
451
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:49,280
In the grand scheme of things,
a couple months isn't much.
452
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:53,480
I'm glad I got to do this.
453
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,640
There's absolutely
no regrets in that.
454
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:57,280
This has been amazing,
455
00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,400
been a fantastic experience.
456
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:02,560
It's just...
457
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,720
there's, uh,
there's priorities elsewhere.
458
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:08,440
Maybe if circumstances
were a little bit different
459
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:09,800
and I wasn't...
460
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,800
..my heart wasn't yearning so badly,
461
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,560
then maybe
I absolutely could go longer.
462
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:19,800
But circumstances are certainly...
463
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:24,960
..yeah, not being conducive to that,
that's for sure.
464
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:31,640
And I suppose that's it.
465
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:34,400
Say goodbye to this beautiful place.
466
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:39,880
It's important to me now that I get
home and take care of my family.
467
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,000
Yeah, it was all mental for me.
468
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:49,960
A lot of your grand plans of what
you think of a survival situation
469
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:51,880
is eroded very quickly.
470
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:55,960
But, yeah, I think
I've got what I came for.
471
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:04,400
And to my, uh, my child to be
472
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:07,800
I'll do everything I can
to make sure you have a good life.
473
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:20,880
Alone Australia, powered by Kia.
474
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,520
It's the ultimate
human endurance challenge.
475
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:27,720
The battle is on to survive Alone
in the rugged New Zealand wilderness
476
00:36:27,720 --> 00:36:31,800
with the winner taking home
a prize worth $250,000.
477
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,560
Well, I'm somewhat recovered today.
478
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:07,360
The nausea's gone,
479
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:09,800
so physically
I'm feeling a lot better.
480
00:37:11,720 --> 00:37:16,240
So I think I'm gonna have enough
energy to actually do something today
481
00:37:16,240 --> 00:37:19,120
rather than just lie
in my sleeping bag all day sleeping,
482
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:20,480
like I did yesterday.
483
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,640
I wonder how many kilos I've lost.
484
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,200
I feel like
I made a mistake on day one,
485
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:40,000
setting myself up
so far from the water.
486
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:50,400
Just so hard to know where the best
place to camp for the long-term is.
487
00:37:51,720 --> 00:37:53,080
What to do?
488
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:57,000
I feel like
I need to be bringing food in
489
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,200
rather than exploring
490
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,880
to find the best place to camp.
491
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:06,080
Oh! So racked by indecision.
492
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,080
I'll put my hat on. Yep. Yep.
493
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,040
I'll be decisive about that.
494
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:26,840
Alright, hat on. Hat on.
495
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:28,480
Yep. Hat on.
496
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:31,120
There we go, a decisive action.
497
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,920
It's that feeling of being unsettled.
498
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,320
There's so many possibilities
499
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:45,480
on what's the right
order to do things in.
500
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:51,080
Yeah, I feel my energy lagging
already.
501
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:56,520
Yeah, that gastro has really
taken it out of me. Ha!
502
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:04,800
Yeah, it's a lot more exposed
than where I am.
503
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,280
But it's a lot closer to the water
504
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:17,720
and it's a lot closer to what I sink,
505
00:39:17,720 --> 00:39:19,520
is the fishing rock.
506
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:26,160
And what am I gonna do every day?
507
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:28,760
Am I gonna fish every day?
508
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:30,240
Probably.
509
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,720
Oh, dilemmas, dilemmas, indecision.
510
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:55,600
So exhausted today.
511
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:01,000
This game's
all about the mind, really.
512
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:05,400
But I think I'm gonna have to
play a waiting game
513
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,560
to deal with this gastro.
514
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:17,000
Time for a little rest, I think.
515
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:20,920
(GROANS)
516
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:27,000
I'm just trying to focus
on the long game here,
517
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:31,240
but I can just feel a sense of
sort of hopelessness and despair.
518
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:50,720
And duckies.
519
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:54,440
I wish could eat them.
520
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:56,720
But they're pretty
and they keep me company.
521
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:02,160
The sun is out for the first time,
like, properly.
522
00:41:03,240 --> 00:41:08,800
It is so unusual and so nice to get
clear blue sky and direct sun.
523
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:13,440
So I'm trying to lap it up
because I know, most likely,
524
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:15,000
it'll change in an hour.
525
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:26,920
Now I'll go back.
526
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:27,920
(GROANS)
527
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:30,640
Ooh!
528
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:33,680
Stood up too fast.
529
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:38,920
There's needs and wants
530
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:41,760
and currently there's been
a lot of needs -
531
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:43,560
basically food, fire and water.
532
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:48,680
And hasn't been a lot of time
or energy left for wants.
533
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:52,280
So, I have started thinking about
a bit more permanent shelter.
534
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:55,040
There's the two poles...
535
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:59,120
..for an A-frame.
536
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:02,480
But that little possum
has made me wonders
537
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:05,840
and I feel like
I have much more energy.
538
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:07,080
Ah!
539
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:10,600
The competition as such,
540
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:12,320
or the experience as such,
541
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:16,840
is nothing like
I thought it would be, in a way.
542
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:19,160
Good and bad. Good and bad.
543
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:22,160
Uh-uh! Hey! Don't peck on my bow.
544
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:26,320
Oh, here I was worrying about rats.
545
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:32,520
I think it's gonna be
a far greater test,
546
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:36,240
mentally, than I anticipated.
547
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:45,400
So, anyway, what we've got here
is my new permanent shelter.
548
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:48,600
I can just fit in standing.
549
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:51,320
Basically seeing how things go.
550
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:55,680
I might progress on this - build
a front, build a back, get a door.
551
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:57,080
We'll see.
552
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:01,320
The wetness is another a thing.
553
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:04,200
Even on a perfect day like today,
554
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:06,000
it was still damp.
555
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:10,360
So, I think mentally
that's just something
556
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:12,640
that I have to come to terms with
and go,
557
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:15,440
"I'm gonna be wet and damp
for maybe three months."
558
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:22,920
I was hungry today,
so I took another piece of meat.
559
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:24,760
That'll be a possum drumstick again.
560
00:43:27,720 --> 00:43:29,560
Can't believe how salty it tastes.
561
00:43:31,720 --> 00:43:32,720
Crazy.
562
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:39,320
Wind changed.
563
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:41,960
(RAIN PATTERS)
564
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:43,440
Here comes the rain.
565
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:50,080
(THUNDER RUMBLES)
Oh. Oh, shit.
566
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:07,520
Ah, talk about lucky.
567
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:13,320
Beautiful day today
and now we've this thundering rain.
568
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:19,320
And after this I really want to get
some cover down low.
569
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:22,680
Even if it's not windproof.
570
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:27,120
Just...just that breeze coming
through with driplets.
571
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:30,280
Um, sleeping in the middle
under the tarp for the moment.
572
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:32,600
I've rearranged things.
573
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:35,960
And everything else
gets slightly damp...
574
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:37,200
..again.
575
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:46,360
Alone Australia, powered by Kia.
576
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:49,000
It's the ultimate
human endurance challenge.
577
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:53,200
The battle is on to survive Alone
in the rugged New Zealand wilderness
578
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:57,280
with the winner taking home
a prize worth $250,000.
579
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:27,600
I can't quite do my pants up yet,
which is a good thing.
580
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:30,800
But they keep on falling down.
581
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:35,320
I started this competition
582
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:39,200
knowing I had, you know,
this excess weight that I would use
583
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:40,440
in the first few weeks,
584
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:43,320
'cause I thought I really wanna
concentrate on shelter,
585
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:44,880
and food can come.
586
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:48,640
But because
my periods have come back,
587
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:53,000
I feel that critical time period
is right now,
588
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:58,080
where if you don't start
bringing in some good quality food,
589
00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:00,760
that it'll really shorten
my time out here.
590
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:06,760
I've been vego
for a lot of years now.
591
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:11,000
Watch where I'm walking,
you never know what you might find.
592
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:16,200
I had a big struggle
in applying to come here.
593
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:20,320
I knew I couldn't survive
unless I ate meat.
594
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:24,800
Oh, look through here - just ferns.
595
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:28,240
I struggle with things
that care for their young,
596
00:46:28,240 --> 00:46:32,400
but the hard reality is
if I don't get proteins, I guess,
597
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:35,320
my body's gonna start packing it in.
598
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:48,800
That might be a mamaku heart.
599
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:53,960
I wonder if the heart is still good
600
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:57,680
and, like, how long
the heart's viable for.
601
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:06,640
Gonna use my axe to try
and trim away these extra fronds.
602
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:08,120
They're very hairy.
603
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:11,560
There's a heart inside
604
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:13,320
and that's the edible part.
605
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:17,920
I don't wanna
hack into it too much.
606
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:22,720
It's not massive, but...
607
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:27,400
..so grateful.
608
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:31,160
Ooh, it's getting softer there.
609
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:33,480
I just don't wanna waste anything,
610
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:36,440
so I'm thinking if I roast it
with a bit more fibre
611
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:38,280
on the outside still left,
612
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:40,280
I can maybe crack him open.
613
00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:41,280
Ooh!
614
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:43,240
My bum's on fire.
615
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:47,080
Come on, mamaku, I love you.
616
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:01,960
I can smell it.
617
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:05,840
It's time for a bit of mamaku.
618
00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:10,080
(LAUGHS)
619
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:13,240
I swear I'm drooling.
620
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:16,520
Just gonna try the top section.
621
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:24,800
Oh, ooh, eeh, ow.
622
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:28,600
It's like uncooked sweet potato.
623
00:48:40,720 --> 00:48:42,440
With a hint of burnt carrot.
624
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:49,840
Well, I've got a little bit
of something in my belly,
625
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:53,160
but I don't know if it equates
to the energy output.
626
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:55,120
It feels nice going in, though.
627
00:48:56,160 --> 00:49:01,120
Maybe it's more of a mental thing
until I get that protein sorted.
628
00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:04,960
Gonna leave the others
still a bit longer.
629
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:10,760
And just tease myself out for the
whole afternoon, evening, you know?
630
00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:14,920
Mm. I like that.
631
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:34,240
I think in my head right now
632
00:49:34,240 --> 00:49:39,280
I'm sort of banking my
long-term survival here on deer.
633
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:41,480
Which is a bit of
a dangerous thing to do
634
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:45,040
because, like,
I've hunted long enough to know that
635
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:47,960
shooting a deer with a trad bow
636
00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:50,920
in a country which you don't know
637
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:54,240
and don't know
the movements of the deer,
638
00:49:54,240 --> 00:49:55,560
is slim.
639
00:49:56,840 --> 00:49:58,440
Like, you might get lucky...
640
00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:01,280
..but you might not.
641
00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:05,840
Bit of a lookout today.
642
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:10,720
So my plan is to move out of camp,
643
00:50:10,720 --> 00:50:12,280
walk to the trail cameras,
644
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:14,040
check what
the trail cameras are doing,
645
00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:16,560
observe, see what's moving.
646
00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:37,640
(WHISPERS)
I'm just about 50 metres away
647
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:39,120
from the first trail camera, so...
648
00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:42,880
..I'm gonna take it
real slow from here.
649
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:44,240
Just quietly check them.
650
00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:34,360
(ANIMAL BARKS)
651

656
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:55,520
Yeah, that wind - it's brutal!
657
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:57,640
I am a little bit concerned.
658
00:52:57,640 --> 00:53:00,160
I did hear
a couple of limbs falling.
659
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:02,120
Here, fishy, fishy!
660
00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:03,800
I saw a trout in the water.
661
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:05,640
Got him!
662
00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:08,000
Oh, we've got a fight on our hands.
663
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:10,360
Oh.
664
00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:15,040
I'm not at full strength.
I can feel my body getting weaker.
665
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:19,280
I've been feeling this decision
coming for a few days.
