Alone

I knew there were gonna be animals here,

but I didn't think I was gonna be stalked.

I'm kind of glad I'm going home.

I have no way to defend myself,

and I am not sleeping here under a piece of canvas

with a bunch of wolves behind me.

That was enough for me.

Hello, bear. Stay on your side.

I've got a big problem. I lost my ferro rod

and I can't keep this fire going indefinitely.

I'm screwed.

Oh, . Hey, bear.

I think I found a way to filtrate water without fire.

Bottoms up.

You look back at your life and think where did it go?

Just poof.

When you get alone,

all of it comes up, every mistake you've ever made.

You wonder if the people in your life

really know how much you love them.

This is gonna be a bitch.

We have to film it, and we're totally alone.

Nobody knows what it's like here

except for the ten guys out here doing it.

Time to get shelter.

There's nobody here but me.

This is so hard doing this alone.

I'm scared to death right now.

I feel like I'm starving.

Pretty sure I just saw a cougar.

Oh,.

The last man standing wins $500,000.

I don't want to go home. I want to win.

This is the chance in a lifetime,

but it's not worth dying over.

I'm just kidding.

Hope I didn't scare you too bad.

All right, this is my little calendar.

I've got some notches on that bad boy

in case I start to forget.

Look what the weather's done to me blade.

Constantly wet.

It's dripping right now.

I actually ought to put on some rain gear.

Sky don't look good.

I knew that coming here and doing this,

my mind would be the-- my biggest enemy,

and let me tell you, brother, it is.

It is ripping me apart.

My brain is--

it's just in a thousand different directions.

I really don't want this tide to come in.

When it comes in all the way,

it's about a few feet from the greenery here.

I wish I could stop it.

Once the tide comes in, I can't use this beach.

I can't have this open air.

I have to go back into the dungeon,

and it's driving me absolutely fricking insane.

It's so claustrophobic inside there.

Just working in there, or walking around,

is absolutely depressing.

Everything in there is eating itself.

It's just turned into mush.

Every tree is being bombarded by moss and moisture,

and it's just, I mean,

it's almost completely mush.

I mean, you can walk up to a stump

and just put your hand on it,

and your hand will go straight through.

It's just so wet in here.

Look at that--

mushrooms growing out of the top of the trees.

I mean, physically and mentally,

this place will drain a human body,

and I've spent a lot of my life

in places where it was just absolutely horrible.

I'm retired military,

and currently I'm a trainer in Africa.

Hello.

You know, I've done this enough over the past 15-20 years

through all my training and military training and time

in combat and my job in Africa now.

One thing I know is, some of the toughest people just snap.

Their emotions can just go take hold of them, and they're done.

I'm hoping that my training

is gonna help me survive for as long as possible,

but that flipping jungle--

it's mentally eating my brain.

Part of that could be dehydration,

or the beginning stages of dehydration.

The tide's out so I've got this semi-fresh, brackish,

hopefully, fresh water

that's been pumping out for a good while,

and I don't want to take it too early

because then all the saltwater doesn't get pulled out

and I end up drinking salt water,

and then I really will be hallucinating.

So what I'm gonna do is, I'm gonna go down here

and grab some water,

and I think I found a way to filtrate it here without fire.

It's my wife's 2-quart pot.

She came to the marriage with this.

I'm borrowing it.

I'll return it, hopefully.

Sure cleans it up nicely.

Bon appetite.

I'm not a fan of moving around with camera gear.

This is intense.

That forest is so dense.

It's so extremely hard to navigate through it.

You have to constantly be climbing.

It's really intense.

I'm just having a hard time being here.

I'm starving.

I want to eat so bad.

I kind of have, like, a clock over my head right now,

like a starvation clock.

It all depends on if I can get fish over here,

yes or no.

Eagles.

Look at that.

Salmon.

Maybe that's why the eagles are here, for the fish.

Think I just hit the jackpot.

Look at the size of this river.

Oh, man,

if I just found a salmon river that goes to the mountains,

that's thick and pure, that has fish in it,

that's exactly what I've been looking for.

I'm gonna set the net up low

so I can try to catch the crabs walking by,

because this river is loaded with dead fish

and they love to eat on that stuff.

They love to eat on stuff that's just on the bottom,

flesh and all that.

So they're gonna come walking up this river

to where they smell the dead fish,

and then they're gonna run into my net.

I'm gonna put rocks along the bottom.

My weights are holding down in the middle,

but I just feel better with rocks on it as well.

Give me extra weight in case my stakes rip up

and the current tries to take my net,

I don't have to worry about it.

It's weighted down.

So I'm gonna check my net tomorrow.

Hopefully we've got some crabs.

A fish would be nice too.

Right now it's just dead calm.

The tide's going out.

It's like Christmas every time this tide starts to go out.

I got all kinds of blue kelp washed up here.

It snaps--

That wasn't as crisp as I'd like.

It should snap like...

Uh, celery.

But it smells fresh.

Now what you want to do is pull the skin off...

Like a carrot or a potato,

and then you can just eat it.

It's definitely salty.

It would be all right if I boiled it.

I don't want to eat too much, 'cause...

It's a risk of getting dehydrated,

but it doesn't really taste like much at all except sea water.

It's got to have that good crunch,

'cause you can't eat it if it's decomposing.

There's just wood everywhere.

The resources here are unbelievable.

You know, these logs just break loose from the logging.

They just wash up.

It's unbelievable.

I don't see any reason to have to chop wood up in the bush.

I mean, if I can get it up out of this tidal flat,

get it somewhere where it will start to dry out,

even still, I can split it up,

and it'll burn wet once you have an established fire,

but the fire is the hard part.

If I can get a fire going,

I know I'll be okay here in the long term.

I know this is a competition between me and myself,

and maybe that's why I'm so frustrated

by not performing better yet, but--

Everything but the fire is fine.

If I can get a fire going,

I know I'll be okay here in the long-term.

I know this is a competition between me and myself,

and maybe that's why I'm so frustrated

by not performing better yet, but--

I busted my frickin' arm right off this mound of--

it's like concrete.

There's the board I was too busy looking at

instead of watching where I was walking.

Real nice telephone pole cedar.

I'm gonna go over here, dig out this one,

and get it up where it won't wash away.

This is stupid.

That's too heavy.

Whew.
