CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY
DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS

IN THE NORTHERN TIP
OF SOUTH AFRICA,

TWO STRANGERS WILL TRY TO
SURVIVE SPECTACULAR LANDSCAPES

IN WHICH THE MOST DANGEROUS
ANIMALS ON THE PLANET LIVE.

LEOPARDS AND HYENAS
REIGN OVER THE SAVANNA

IN SEARCH OF PREY TO FEED ON.

DEADLY SNAKES AND SCORPIONS
LIE HIDDEN IN THE VEGETATION.

DANGER IS EVER PRESENT.

THE WEATHER CONDITIONS
ARE DEMANDING.

DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY,
THE BLAZING SUN CAN PUSH

THE MERCURY ABOVE
104 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT.

IN THESE SEMIARID PLAINS,
UNPREDICTABLE STORMS

STRIKE QUICKLY
WITH VIOLENT FORCE.

AT NIGHT, STRONG EASTERLY WINDS

CAN DROP TEMPERATURES
INTO THE 50s.

LAURENT AND VALéRIE
ARE GOING TO HAVE TO DRAW DEEPLY

ON THEIR SKILLS TO SURVIVE
THIS RUGGED ENVIRONMENT.

[ SPEAKING FRENCH ]

MY NAME IS LAURENT.
I'M 37 AND FROM FRANCE.

I HAVE THREE CHILDREN
WHO ARE 11, 9, AND 7.

I TEACH SURVIVAL IN THE WILD.

I CONSIDER MYSELF
A GUARDIAN OF PRIMAL CRAFTS,

CRAFTS THAT COME
FROM PREHISTORIC TIMES.

WELL, I'M KEEN TO SEE THE PLACE
WHERE I'LL BE INSERTED,

TO QUICKLY ASSESS THE AREA'S
POTENTIAL -- THE MATERIALS,

THE HILLS, THE WATER POINTS.

YEAH, SO I'M A BIG MIXTURE
OF EXCITEMENT, APPREHENSION,

AND CURIOSITY.

IT'S NOT ABOUT COMING HERE
AS IF TO FIGHT AGAINST NATURE

OR TO BE CONFRONTATIONAL.

THE WAY I SEE IT IS
IT'S LIVING IN NATURE.

IT FEELS BIZARRE
TO GET NAKED LIKE THIS

IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE.

BUT AT HOME I WORK A LOT ON HOW
TO LIVE WITH THE LEAST POSSIBLE,

AND TO FIND MYSELF
IN THIS SITUATION WITH NOTHING,

IT'S EXHILARATING FOR ME.

IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY
TO GET NAKED IN THE SAVANNA.

MY NAME IS VALéRIE.

I'M MARRIED.
I HAVE TWO CHILDREN.

WE LIVE IN THE
BASQUE COUNTRY OF FRANCE.

AND I'M 48 YEARS OLD.

PARTICIPATING IN THIS ADVENTURE
IS AN ENORMOUS CHALLENGE FOR ME,

SEEING AS THOUGH I HAVE LIMITED
PRIMITIVE-SURVIVAL EXPERIENCE.

BUT I LOVE NATURE, AND I WANT
TO KNOW HOW FAR I CAN GO.

MY GREATEST PLEASURE WOULD BE
TO HOLD FOR THE ENTIRE 21 DAYS.

IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
I'M GONNA FEEL GOOD HERE.

GIRAFFES!
OH, THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL.

IT'S INTRIGUED.
LOOK, THERE'S ANOTHER ONE.

WOW.

MY MIND-SET
IS MY BIGGEST STRENGTH.

YOU CAN ONLY DO THIS ADVENTURE
IF YOU WANT

TO PUSH BEYOND YOUR LIMITS
TO OUTDO YOURSELF.

MENTALLY, I THINK I CAN LAST.

I'M NOT USED TO BEING NAKED.
I DON'T FEEL AT EASE.

I DON'T HAVE
THE SOUL OF A NUDIST,

BUT I'M DOING IT NOW
TO BE IN SYMBIOSIS WITH NATURE.

I HOPE THAT, BIT BY BIT,
I'LL BECOME ONE WITH NATURE

AND RESEMBLE IT.

I'M WILD, AND I'M EXCITED
TO LIVE IN THE WILD.

♪♪

Narrator: TO PARTICIPATE
IN THIS CHALLENGE,

EXPERTS ASSESS EACH CANDIDATE'S
SURVIVAL SKILLS

IN HOSTILE ENVIRONMENTS
BASED ON EVALUATIONS

CONCERNING THEIR PSYCHOLOGICAL,
PHYSICAL, AND SURVIVAL SKILLS.

ON A SCALE FROM ZERO TO 10,

EACH SURVIVALIST IS GIVEN A
PRIMITIVE SURVIVAL RATING,

OR PSR.

LAURENT HAS EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE
IN THE WILD.

HIS MASTERY OF PRIMITIVE SKILLS
IS A STRENGTH

THAT SHOULD ALLOW HIM TO ADAPT
QUICKLY TO THIS ENVIRONMENT.

HE BEGINS WITH A PSR OF 8.5.

VALéRIE IS IN EXCELLENT
PHYSICAL CONDITION,

AND HER STRONG MIND
SHOULD HELP ENSURE HER SUCCESS.

EXPERTS HAVE GIVEN HER AN
INITIAL PSR OF 5.7.

OH, IT'S HOT, HOT.

I'M REALLY EAGER
TO MEET MY PARTNER.

I REALLY HOPE THAT THE TWO OF US
WILL BE IN SYNC.

I EXPECT HIM TO BE
A CONFIDANTE AND A FRIEND,

AND I'LL DO EVERYTHING TO ENSURE
WE STAY TOGETHER TILL THE END.

Laurent: MY BIGGEST
CURIOSITY IS TO KNOW

WHO MY PARTNER
FOR THIS ADVENTURE WILL BE.

I HOPE SHE HAS SOME SKILLS
THAT COMPLEMENT MINE.

I'M JUST LOOKING TO GO AS FAR
AS POSSIBLE AS A PAIR.

HI.
-HELLO.

MY NAME IS LAURENT.
HI.

I'M VALéRIE.
VALéRIE. MM.

NICE TO MEET YOU.
YES.

REALLY NICE TO MEET YOU.

Valérie:
WHEN I FIRST MEET HIM,

I THINK HE'S A REAL
PREHISTORIC CHARACTER.

HE WEARS IT WELL.
HE HAS THE LOOK.

HE'S A CHARACTER, REALLY.

HOW DO YOU FEEL?
BETTER.

THERE'S ONE LESS MYSTERY
NOW THAT I'VE MET YOU.

THAT'S TRUE.SO I FEEL A LOT CALMER.

ARE YOU USED TO DOING THIS
KIND OF ADVENTURE,

OR NOT AT ALL?

I'VE DONE A FEW ADVENTURES
LIKE THIS, BUT IN EUROPE.

THIS WILL BE MY FIRST
ADVENTURE IN AFRICA.

FOR ME, THIS IS
THE FIRST ONE ANYWHERE.

OH, GOOD.

I KNOW VERY LITTLE
ABOUT PRIMITIVE SURVIVAL.

OH. WE'LL DO IT
TOGETHER, THEN.

LET'S GO PUT OUR FEET
IN THE SHADE.

YEAH.THESE ROCKS ARE REALLY HOT.

Narrator: TO FACE THE EXTREME
CONDITIONS OF THE CHALLENGE,

LAURENT AND VALéRIE
HAVE EACH BEEN ALLOWED

TO BRING ONE ESSENTIAL
SURVIVAL ITEM.

Valérie: A MACHETE.

WE CAN CUT WOOD,
HOWEVER LONG WE WANT.

Laurent: AND FOR MY PART,
I BROUGHT A DEERSKIN.

WOW. I REALLY
DIDN'T EXPECT THAT.

IT WILL HAVE
SEVERAL USES,

TO LAY ON THE GROUND
OR FOR WARMTH AT NIGHT

BECAUSE HERE, YOU KNOW, THE
TEMPERATURES, THEY CAN PLUMMET.

THAT CAN BE USED FOR MAKING
LOTS OF THINGS, I HOPE.

YOU CAN SHOW ME ALL THAT
BECAUSE I REALLY DON'T SEE IT.

YEAH, THERE YOU GO.

IN THE DAY, A FILM CREW
WILL BE PRESENT

BUT ARE UNDER INSTRUCTION ONLY
TO INTERVENE IN EMERGENCIES.

THE SURVIVALISTS HAVE BEEN GIVEN
A SMALL CAMERA

TO DOCUMENT THEIR OWN
SURVIVAL EXPERIENCE,

AS WELL AS A RUDIMENTARY MAP
OF THE AREA.

OKAY, INSERTION.

HERE, I BELIEVE THE BAOBAB TREES
WILL BE A GOOD RESOURCE FOR US.

LAURENT AND VALéRIE'S ADVENTURE
BEGINS WITH A 4-MILE TREK

TO A RIVERBED, WHERE THEY SHOULD
FIND ENOUGH RESOURCES

TO SURVIVE FOR THREE WEEKS.

HERE WE GO.

WE'LL HAVE TO WALK
OVER THESE HOT STONES.

[BLEEP].

IT'S NOT EASY,

YEAH.
ARE YOUR FEET ALL RIGHT?

SORRY?
YOUR FEET?

MY FEET?YEAH, ARE THEY OKAY?

THEY'RE NOT GREAT.

MY SKIN IS REALLY
STARTING TO BURN, I THINK.

Laurent: MAYBE WE SHOULD PUT
SOME MUD ON OUR SHOULDERS.

OKAY.

AND ON THE
MOST DELICATE BITS.

I KNOW MY BUTTOCKS AREN'T
PREPARED TO TAKE SO MUCH SUN.

OW, OW, OW.

YOU READY TO PUT MUD MIXED
WITH URINE ON YOURSELF?

[ LAUGHS ]WE COULD SPIT, AS WELL.

IF YOU SPIT, YOU LOSE
THE LITTLE WATER IN YOUR MOUTH,

AND IT'S NOT THE TIME
TO DRY UP.

WE DON'T KNOW WHEN
WE'LL FIND WATER, SO...

THE MIXTURE OF EARTH AND URINE
MAKES A MUD,

WHICH IS A NATURAL SHIELD
AGAINST U.V.

WITHOUT THIS PROTECTION,

LAURENT AND VALéRIE RISK SERIOUS
BURNS IN LESS THAN 30 MINUTES.

THE EARTH IS NICE,
ISN'T IT?

YEAH, IT'S GREAT.

DON'T FORGET
YOUR HANDS AND FEET.

DO YOUR BUTT, TOO, ANYTHING
THAT TOUCHES THE GROUND.

PROTECTING OURSELVES FROM
THE SUN IS OUR MOST URGENT TASK.

Laurent:
EVEN AT THE START, THINGS WITH
VALéRIE JUST FLOW NATURALLY.

I GET THE FEELING THAT SHE'LL BE
ABLE TO OVERCOME A LOT.

IT'S REASSURING,
SHE'LL BE A GOOD PARTNER,

AND THERE'S EVERY CHANCE THAT
WE'LL GO ALL THE WAY TOGETHER.

IS MY FACE COVERED PROPERLY?
HOW DO I LOOK?

YEAH, IT'S GOOD. YOUR BEARD
WILL HELP COVER YOU, TOO.

OH.

OKAY.
COOL.

THERE'LL BE TOUGH TIMES,
FOR SURE.

I KNOW THERE WILL BE.
I KNOW.

DO YOU HAVE KIDS?I HAVE THREE.

OH, OKAY.
HOW OLD ARE THEY?

THEY'RE 11, 9, AND 7.

WHOA!
DAMN IT, MY FEET.

YOU OKAY?HOLD ON A SECOND.

YEAH.

THINGS ARE GETTING
STUCK IN MY FEET.

AH.

YOU ALL RIGHT?

I NEED TO WALK SLOWLY.

OH, IT'S HOT.

UNDER THE SCORCHING SUN,

THE STONES RETAIN HEAT
AND RISE IN TEMPERATURE.

AFTER WALKING FOR AN HOUR,

BARE FEET THAT AREN'T
USED TO HOT SURFACES

ARE UNABLE TO TOLERATE

WE'RE WALKING ON THORNS.

AND THAT'S OVER MILES AND MILES.

IT'S UNBEARABLE HEAT.

OH, IT'S HOT!

YOU DON'T FEEL GOOD?NO.

I'M NOT DOING GOOD.

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

IT'S LIKE A DIZZY SPELL.

Laurent: AT THIS POINT,
I'M AFRAID TO LOSE HER,

IN CASE SHE'S TOO FRAIL
TO CARRY ON.

SHE HAS TO LEAVE
THE ADVENTURE HERE AND NOW.

I FEAR SHE'S ALREADY
REACHED HER LIMIT.

WE'RE NOT EVEN
AT THE CAMP YET.

I'M SORRY.
DON'T WORRY.

IT'S FINE.
WE HAVE TIME.

LOOK, LAY DOWN.
TAKE THE HIDE IF YOU WANT.

THIS IS NOT GOOD.

I HAVEN'T EVEN MADE IT

I HAVE TO GET BACK ON MY FEET.

COME ON, VAL.
YOU NEED TO GET UP.

Laurent: FINALLY,
VAL GETS BACK UP,

AND I'M PLEASANTLY SURPRISED.

AT THAT MOMENT, I REALIZE
I'M DEALING WITH SOMEONE

VERY COURAGEOUS
WITH STRONG WILLPOWER.

A STRONG MENTALITY
IS FUNDAMENTAL IN SURVIVAL.

IT'S VERY IMPORTANT.

LET'S GO.I'LL FOLLOW AT YOUR PACE.

Valérie: YES.
IT DID ME GOOD TO LIE DOWN.

Laurent: ALL RIGHT, OUR PRIORITY
NOW IS TO GET TO A GOOD SPOT

WHERE WE CAN
BUILD A SHELTER.

WOW, LOOK AT THE
BAOBABS.

WOW, THAT'S AN
INCREDIBLE TREE.

LOOKS LIKE A NICE PLACE
TO SET UP CAMP.

Narrator:
THIS 100-YEAR-OLD BAOBAB TREE

WILL PROVIDE SHADE
AND PROTECTION

AGAINST THE PUNISHING HEAT
OF THE AFRICAN SAVANNA.

HIDING AMONG THE CLUSTERS
OF ROCKS ARE SCORPIONS

AND SNAKES LIKE THE
VENOMOUS HORNED VIPER,

WAITING FOR THE COOL
OF THE EVENING

TO EMERGE FROM THEIR LAIR.

WHEN DARKNESS SETS IN,

PREDATORS ROAM
ON THE HUNT FOR FOOD.

IN ORDER TO SPEND
THE NIGHT HERE,

LAURENT AND VALéRIE
MUST CONSTRUCT A SECURE SHELTER.

WOW, A WATERFALL.
AH, THAT'S SO GOOD.

FEELS GREAT.
IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

IT LOOKS NICE AND CLEAR.
SHOULD WE WAIT AWHILE?

WELL, IT'S GONNA BE TOUGH.
TOUGH, BUT SENSIBLE.

WE NEED TO FIND
A BETTER SHELTER

THAN UNDER THE BAOBAB TREE.

THIS LOOKS LIKE
A PRETTY SUITABLE SPOT.

I'M INSPIRED.
AWESOME.

LOOK HERE.

WE ALREADY HAVE
KIND OF A RIDGE TENT.

HERE, YEAH.

AND THESE ARE LIKE
THE RIDGE POLES,

AND WE CAN ADD BRANCHES ON
EITHER SIDE LIKE A RIDGE TENT.

AND THEN WE CAN PLACE THORNS
OVER THE TOP.

WE JUST NEED TO
MAKE IT MORE STABLE

WITH SOME LARGER BRANCHES.

IT'S NOT TOO CLOSE
TO THE WATER?

OH, NO, NO, NO.

AWESOME. GREAT.

Laurent:
WELL, THE CHALLENGE TONIGHT WILL
BE ENSURING WE CAN SLEEP SAFELY.

I'M MAINLY CONCERNED
ABOUT PREDATORS.

SPOTTED SOME TREES
WITH LONG THORNS, YOU KNOW,

AND IF WE CAN CREATE A FRAME
IN THE SHAPE OF A RIDGE TENT,

WE CAN ADD A THICK LAYER
OF THORNS OVER THE TOP OF IT.

AND YEAH, I THINK IT WILL
DO A GOOD JOB

OF KEEPING ANY HYENAS
AND LEOPARDS AWAY.

HAVE YOU FOUND ANYTHING FOR THE
FIRE? DID YOU HAVE TIME?

NO. WE WON'T HAVE
A FIRE TONIGHT.

IT TAKES TOO MUCH
PREPARATION AND ENERGY.

AND I'M SO THIRSTY,
IT JUST ISN'T POSSIBLE.

IT'S NOT A GOOD IDEA.THAT'S FINE.

Valérie: WHAT I REALLY LIKE
ABOUT LAURENT IS

THAT HE'S VERY STRAIGHTFORWARD.

HE'S CALM.

PRIORITIES ARE.

COMFORTABLE WITH HIM.

HI.

IS TO FIND WATER

AND MAKE SOME PROGRESS
ON A FIRE.

I'M TORN BETWEEN DRINKING THE
WATER AND TRYING TO START A FIRE

BECAUSE IT TAKES
A LOT OF ENERGY.

BUT IT WILL BE HARD
IF I'M NOT HYDRATED, SO...

WE CAN DIG SOME HOLES
AROUND HERE

HERE,
WE'LL MAKE ONE HERE.

Valérie: THIS WATER
IS GORGEOUS.

WE FOUND SOME FLOWING WATER
THAT LOOKS PRETTY CLEAR.

BUT FROM EXPERIENCE, I KNOW THAT
IT'S NOT A GOOD IDEA TO INDULGE

IN DRINKING IT RIGHT AWAY.

SO WE'LL START BY DIGGING
A SMALL WELL,

CHECKING THE
WATER QUALITY.

THERE ARE SOME PARTICLES YOU CAN
SEE, BUT OTHERS ARE INVISIBLE.

ANYTHING BACTERIOLOGICAL,
SUCH AS VIRUSES,

PROTOZOA, OR BACTERIA,
POSES A RISK, I KNOW.

LET THAT SIT.

TO MAKE A FRICTION FIRE.

I COULD TEACH YOU THE TECHNIQUE.

IT STAYS POSITIVE.

-OKAY.

SHE HASN'T ASKED ME

QUITE WELL SO FAR.
