1
00:00:00,966 --> 00:00:02,600
my name is bear grills
2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:04,733
i serve with the British special forces
3
00:00:04,866 --> 00:00:06,666
i've climbed the summit of Everest
4
00:00:06,933 --> 00:00:10,600
and cross the frozen oceans of the arctic now
5
00:00:10,666 --> 00:00:13,266
i'm travelling to the moa desert in Utah
6
00:00:13,900 --> 00:00:15,200
this iconic landscape
7
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,733
is the most dangerous desert in North America
8
00:00:17,766 --> 00:00:18,500
with punishing
9
00:00:18,500 --> 00:00:21,666
temperatures and some of the world's deadliest creatures
10
00:00:21,900 --> 00:00:24,000
search and rescue launch 100 missions
11
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,500
a year looking for stranded tourists
12
00:00:27,500 --> 00:00:30,333
now i'm going to show you how to survive here
13
00:00:44,866 --> 00:00:46,400
this is a moab desert
14
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:47,700
three thousand six
15
00:00:47,700 --> 00:00:48,300
hundred square
16
00:00:48,300 --> 00:00:51,166
miles of canyons arches and sheer cliffs
17
00:00:54,333 --> 00:00:57,500
every year a million people visit this park wilderness
18
00:00:57,533 --> 00:00:59,166
but take one wrong turn
19
00:00:59,266 --> 00:01:01,600
and it's all too easy to get lost for good
20
00:01:03,533 --> 00:01:07,500
i'm about to put myself in the position of a stranded hiker
21
00:01:07,566 --> 00:01:08,500
in a few moments
22
00:01:08,500 --> 00:01:11,000
the pilot's gonna drop me in the middle of this desert
23
00:01:11,133 --> 00:01:12,800
and then i'll be like any hiker
24
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,533
who gets lost and all i've got with me is a water bottle
25
00:01:16,533 --> 00:01:17,966
a knife and a Flint
26
00:01:18,366 --> 00:01:20,500
and i'm going to show you how to survive
27
00:01:20,500 --> 00:01:22,700
in one of the toughest places on earth
28
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:27,766
my camera crew will follow me
29
00:01:27,766 --> 00:01:30,333
as i try to find a way out of this landscape
30
00:01:35,766 --> 00:01:38,200
the thermal updrafts are so powerful here
31
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,300
that is too dangerous to land the chopper
32
00:01:42,100 --> 00:01:45,766
so there's only one way down to absail
33
00:01:47,466 --> 00:01:50,600
we're hovering at about a hundred feet now above the desert
34
00:01:50,766 --> 00:01:53,666
and even from this height i can feel the heat of
35
00:01:53,666 --> 00:01:56,600
the desert floor like an album down there
36
00:01:56,766 --> 00:02:00,933
i've done this before and it's dangerous one slip is fatal
37
00:02:01,900 --> 00:02:02,800
but this is it
38
00:02:17,733 --> 00:02:19,400
need to get out of this fast
39
00:02:19,900 --> 00:02:22,666
the hell is getting pulled in lots of updrafts here
40
00:02:23,466 --> 00:02:26,333
and i need to be off this road quick
41
00:02:26,766 --> 00:02:27,566
wow
42
00:02:27,566 --> 00:02:30,866
i'm pretty foot on i'm done clear up
43
00:02:47,533 --> 00:02:50,900
i'm stranded 4000 feet above sea level on
44
00:02:50,900 --> 00:02:53,066
a rocky tabletop called a Mesa
45
00:02:53,500 --> 00:02:57,900
and it's utterly desolate here and it's very very hot
46
00:02:59,133 --> 00:03:02,200
the heat here is just incredible you know
47
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,466
it's well over 110 degrees
48
00:03:05,100 --> 00:03:07,066
the biggest killer in these deserts are heat
49
00:03:07,066 --> 00:03:11,133
stroke and dehydration and then both come on so quickly
50
00:03:14,133 --> 00:03:16,900
in this situation the best advice is to stay
51
00:03:16,900 --> 00:03:20,300
put get into the shade and wait to be rescued
52
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,266
but sometimes help doesn't come
53
00:03:23,533 --> 00:03:25,300
so i'm going to find my own way out
54
00:03:26,366 --> 00:03:29,333
i know that two huge rivers run through the moab
55
00:03:29,533 --> 00:03:33,366
the Colorado and the green finding one of them is going to be
56
00:03:33,366 --> 00:03:36,066
the key to getting out this
57
00:03:36,066 --> 00:03:38,200
whole desert is going to be full of canyons
58
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:39,400
and dry riverbeds
59
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,266
and if i get down to one of these and follow them
60
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,333
it should eventually lead to a river
61
00:03:44,533 --> 00:03:47,100
and then eventually civilization
62
00:03:48,566 --> 00:03:49,700
plants need water
63
00:03:50,100 --> 00:03:53,966
so signs of vegetation will show me that water could be nearby
64
00:03:54,866 --> 00:03:57,166
but apart from this sage brush i can't see
65
00:03:57,166 --> 00:03:58,166
any at all
66
00:03:58,700 --> 00:03:59,533
what i can see
67
00:03:59,533 --> 00:04:01,300
though is a rim of a Canyon in
68
00:04:01,300 --> 00:04:03,966
the distance at the bottom of a Canyon
69
00:04:03,966 --> 00:04:08,200
a fine shade canyons can also have water in them
70
00:04:08,333 --> 00:04:10,600
streams that lead down to bigger rivers
71
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,166
so that's what i'm gonna head for
72
00:04:13,366 --> 00:04:15,100
but priority number one for me
73
00:04:15,100 --> 00:04:17,766
now is to get off the top of this table top
74
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,100
but getting off is easier said than done
75
00:04:26,166 --> 00:04:27,533
this whole table tow up
76
00:04:27,533 --> 00:04:31,133
here is just formed by layers and layers of all of this
77
00:04:31,133 --> 00:04:32,400
sandstone rock
78
00:04:32,533 --> 00:04:37,500
and it's so crumbly underfoot and very very unstable
79
00:04:37,500 --> 00:04:38,500
and what i do know
80
00:04:38,733 --> 00:04:42,300
is it's often the descent this is a dangerous part of a climb
81
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,133
the risk when coming down a face
82
00:04:51,133 --> 00:04:53,866
like this is that you climb yourself into a position
83
00:04:53,866 --> 00:04:55,800
when you can't go up or down
84
00:04:56,466 --> 00:04:57,600
when this happens
85
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,400
it's called getting rim rocked
86
00:05:02,533 --> 00:05:05,733
28 year old climber William Mckeen got rim rocked on a cliff
87
00:05:05,733 --> 00:05:08,366
near here he hung on for as long
88
00:05:08,366 --> 00:05:10,800
as he could then fell to his death
89
00:05:14,100 --> 00:05:15,300
but if this does happen
90
00:05:15,566 --> 00:05:17,933
there's a technique that they teach in the special forces for
91
00:05:17,933 --> 00:05:21,266
being able to make a jump of like 15 foot
92
00:05:21,366 --> 00:05:22,766
and the idea is when you jump
93
00:05:22,766 --> 00:05:23,900
you keep your feet together
94
00:05:24,066 --> 00:05:25,600
knees slightly bent and when you land
95
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,100
you roll and you spread the impact
96
00:05:27,100 --> 00:05:29,400
along your legs and then around your back
97
00:05:50,500 --> 00:05:53,933
it's the middle of the day and the sun is now at its hottest
98
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,066
so i've got to get the safety and shade of that Canyon
99
00:05:57,066 --> 00:05:58,400
as soon as possible
100
00:06:06,700 --> 00:06:08,933
just being in a hundred and ten degrees heat
101
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,100
your body actually loses about a liter of water every hour
102
00:06:12,166 --> 00:06:13,566
and that's before you even start
103
00:06:13,566 --> 00:06:16,800
thinking about how walking or climbing or moving
104
00:06:18,466 --> 00:06:21,266
the longer i'm exposed to the full strength of the sun
105
00:06:21,300 --> 00:06:22,766
the greater the danger
106
00:06:23,300 --> 00:06:26,100
and the most important part of the body to keep cool is
107
00:06:26,100 --> 00:06:27,600
the head and the brain
108
00:06:28,166 --> 00:06:31,533
i remember learning this really good trick for improvising
109
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:32,866
like a headdresser
110
00:06:32,866 --> 00:06:36,133
sun hat and if i use this
111
00:06:36,866 --> 00:06:39,133
this white t shirt here and then just
112
00:06:40,466 --> 00:06:41,733
cut one side of it
113
00:06:42,133 --> 00:06:45,733
and all i'm doing is cutting all the way down one seam
114
00:06:46,666 --> 00:06:48,866
and then opening it out
115
00:06:50,166 --> 00:06:53,666
and i've got a good length of material here
116
00:06:53,866 --> 00:06:58,700
and all i do is just wrap it around my head
117
00:07:00,533 --> 00:07:01,466
and if i twist
118
00:07:01,466 --> 00:07:06,366
this nice and firmly inside of my head pull it around tight
119
00:07:07,266 --> 00:07:08,766
pull it around my face
120
00:07:10,133 --> 00:07:13,933
and then tuck it in on its own knot
121
00:07:15,366 --> 00:07:18,100
and this will keep the sun off me
122
00:07:18,100 --> 00:07:21,800
and will save me getting back to death
123
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,166
to give you an idea of how dangerous
124
00:07:27,166 --> 00:07:31,500
this heat is the body's internal temperature is usually 98.6
125
00:07:31,500 --> 00:07:36,500
degrees Fahrenheit once a body's core temperature hits 105
126
00:07:36,566 --> 00:07:39,900
you've got heatstroke when this happens
127
00:07:39,900 --> 00:07:43,300
you become confused the body goes into convulsions
128
00:07:43,300 --> 00:07:45,000
and you can fall into a coma
129
00:07:54,066 --> 00:07:55,400
i don't know if you can see this
130
00:07:55,400 --> 00:08:00,100
but this whole place really is mother nature at
131
00:08:00,100 --> 00:08:01,900
her most unforgiving
132
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,300
and this desert
133
00:08:04,300 --> 00:08:06,766
has to be one of the hardest places in the world
134
00:08:07,466 --> 00:08:09,966
just to stay alive for any period of time
135
00:08:16,466 --> 00:08:19,700
this entire region was once covered by a shallow sea
136
00:08:19,700 --> 00:08:21,400
and just teemed with life
137
00:08:23,100 --> 00:08:26,366
that was 200 million years ago but now
138
00:08:26,366 --> 00:08:29,500
it barely gets 9 inches of rain for a year
139
00:08:30,900 --> 00:08:34,300
and all the creatures that once thrived here are extinct
140
00:08:36,266 --> 00:08:37,666
i don't want to join them
141
00:08:41,500 --> 00:08:42,566
i found the Canyon
142
00:08:42,566 --> 00:08:45,666
that i was looking for and there's a good chance
143
00:08:45,666 --> 00:08:46,800
there's water down there
144
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,500
because there's plenty of shade
145
00:08:49,700 --> 00:08:52,866
my only problem is how to get down into it
146
00:09:09,966 --> 00:09:13,200
ivab sailed into the middle of the moab desert in Utah
147
00:09:13,533 --> 00:09:15,933
one of the driest states in North America
148
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:18,500
and i'm going to show you
149
00:09:18,500 --> 00:09:20,900
how to survive with only a bottle of water
150
00:09:21,166 --> 00:09:22,966
a knife and a Flint
151
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,066
i'm hoping to find water in this Canyon
152
00:09:27,166 --> 00:09:29,300
and i also think it could lead me to a river
153
00:09:29,300 --> 00:09:31,100
and back to civilization
154
00:09:33,533 --> 00:09:34,366
but first
155
00:09:34,566 --> 00:09:39,266
i need to get down into it this edge is too steep to climb
156
00:09:39,266 --> 00:09:40,933
and it's too wide to jump
157
00:09:41,333 --> 00:09:44,066
but if i can use this giant boulder as a bridge
158
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,966
i might be able to find a way down on the other side
159
00:09:52,066 --> 00:09:55,400
but i've got to be pretty careful crossing this
160
00:09:55,566 --> 00:09:59,066
just because these boulders can sometimes be unstable
161
00:09:59,166 --> 00:10:01,500
this sandstone is flaky
162
00:10:01,666 --> 00:10:06,333
and also it's a long way down here Utah climber
163
00:10:06,333 --> 00:10:08,100
Aaron Ralston was trapped
164
00:10:08,100 --> 00:10:09,266
by a boulder like this
165
00:10:09,266 --> 00:10:12,766
when it fell on him in a remote Canyon to escape
166
00:10:12,766 --> 00:10:16,900
he had to cut his own arm off with a penknife
167
00:10:20,733 --> 00:10:23,266
and the key to climbing
168
00:10:23,466 --> 00:10:27,000
is always to keep at least three points of contact
169
00:10:28,066 --> 00:10:30,766
with the face and try
170
00:10:30,766 --> 00:10:34,666
and use your leg power as much as
171
00:10:36,066 --> 00:10:39,100
as much as you can rather your arms
172
00:10:55,100 --> 00:10:56,533
i've made it across
173
00:10:56,533 --> 00:10:58,800
but there's still no sign of a way down
174
00:10:59,266 --> 00:11:01,300
and if i don't find water soon
175
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,066
i could be at serious risk at dehydrating
176
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,133
search and rescue have a saying in these parts
177
00:11:10,466 --> 00:11:16,566
a lost hiker is down in 12 hours and dead in 24 so far
178
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,200
i've been here for five
179
00:11:26,933 --> 00:11:29,500
lost away down into this Canyon
180
00:11:29,566 --> 00:11:32,166
and there must be water down here
181
00:11:32,166 --> 00:11:32,966
somewhere
182
00:11:35,133 --> 00:11:36,966
the Canyon runs downhill
183
00:11:37,266 --> 00:11:41,066
and that's the way water would flow it's the way i'm gonna go
184
00:11:44,466 --> 00:11:46,500
there are over 1000 of these narrow
185
00:11:46,500 --> 00:11:48,566
canyons in the moab some of them
186
00:11:48,566 --> 00:11:50,166
only a few feet wide
187
00:11:50,466 --> 00:11:52,300
they're known as slot canyons
188
00:11:54,766 --> 00:11:55,766
the shade down here
189
00:11:55,766 --> 00:11:56,100
means
190
00:11:56,100 --> 00:11:59,666
the temperature is about 20 degrees less than on the desert
191
00:11:59,666 --> 00:12:00,700
floor above
192
00:12:07,133 --> 00:12:09,900
a really good way of finding water in these canyons
193
00:12:09,900 --> 00:12:13,766
is looking for clumps of vegetation and water hungry plants
194
00:12:13,766 --> 00:12:14,866
and and actually
195
00:12:14,866 --> 00:12:16,300
this is a really good example
196
00:12:16,300 --> 00:12:17,333
this tamarisk
197
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,933
and just a small bush like this is capable of sucking up
198
00:12:20,933 --> 00:12:24,533
up to twenty gallons of water a day from these like aquifers
199
00:12:24,533 --> 00:12:26,733
which are these underground chambers of water
200
00:12:27,333 --> 00:12:30,200
and this is a very good sign that there's a water source
201
00:12:30,500 --> 00:12:31,733
somewhere nearby
202
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:45,166
and there is
203
00:12:45,500 --> 00:12:46,533
that there's a problem
204
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:49,966
it's polluted i can see
205
00:12:49,966 --> 00:12:53,133
you can see there you know a rotting squirrel
206
00:12:53,133 --> 00:12:55,500
and you know this water is not flowing anywhere
207
00:12:55,500 --> 00:12:57,733
so it's just stagnant and you definitely
208
00:12:57,733 --> 00:12:58,966
don't want to be drinking it
209
00:13:00,266 --> 00:13:02,300
just one drop can make me seriously
210
00:13:02,300 --> 00:13:04,166
ill there's a good chance
211
00:13:04,166 --> 00:13:07,800
this Canyon will eventually lead to a river if i follow it
212
00:13:07,866 --> 00:13:09,933
it could well be my root out of here
213
00:13:10,300 --> 00:13:14,133
but my way is blocked by this water to go around it
214
00:13:14,133 --> 00:13:16,300
and have to retrace all my steps
215
00:13:16,300 --> 00:13:17,766
and that's just too far
216
00:13:18,100 --> 00:13:19,500
so i'm gonna go through it
217
00:13:23,900 --> 00:13:26,666
this water is also surprisingly cold
218
00:13:26,666 --> 00:13:29,933
and it's strange because outside of this Canyon
219
00:13:29,933 --> 00:13:31,600
it's just a scorching desert
220
00:13:31,866 --> 00:13:33,066
but in here
221
00:13:33,066 --> 00:13:35,200
where it gets no no sun
222
00:13:35,566 --> 00:13:37,300
it's absolutely freezing
223
00:13:38,066 --> 00:13:40,500
but i've got no choice i've got to keep going this way
224
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,866
the water in this pool must be about 50 degrees Fahrenheit
225
00:13:50,366 --> 00:13:54,066
but the real danger these slot canyons is flash floods
226
00:13:55,133 --> 00:13:57,300
the storm up to 100 miles away
227
00:13:57,300 --> 00:14:00,800
could send tons of water and debris crashing through here
228
00:14:04,300 --> 00:14:05,733
only a few years ago
229
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,933
a group of 12 tourists were killed when a flash flood
230
00:14:08,933 --> 00:14:09,400
ripped through
231
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,733
the Antelope Canyon in Arizona
232
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,500
this whole whole can in here
233
00:14:24,900 --> 00:14:28,133
it's just block now by this log jam
234
00:14:28,566 --> 00:14:30,066
and this would have
235
00:14:30,066 --> 00:14:31,966
been caused by a flash
236
00:14:31,966 --> 00:14:35,366
flood just coming down and piling up all these logs and this
237
00:14:35,366 --> 00:14:36,166
debris
238
00:14:38,900 --> 00:14:42,566
i can't climb over this log jam because it's too unstable
239
00:14:42,566 --> 00:14:45,200
and the Canyon walls are too steep to climb
240
00:14:47,500 --> 00:14:50,566
if you were trapped in a pool like this for just two hours
241
00:14:50,700 --> 00:14:54,133
the body's core temperature would fall below 95 degrees
242
00:14:54,133 --> 00:14:57,600
Fahrenheit and hypothermia would set in yeah
243
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:01,366
there's just no way i'm getting over over this
244
00:15:01,700 --> 00:15:04,533
and i suppose i could go back
245
00:15:05,933 --> 00:15:08,266
but if you found yourself in this
246
00:15:08,266 --> 00:15:09,166
sort of Canyon
247
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:10,800
and people do find themselves
248
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:15,166
trapped your only real option would be to try and swim under it
249
00:15:15,166 --> 00:15:18,066
but the danger is i just don't know how far
250
00:15:18,700 --> 00:15:20,500
how far it is to the other side
251
00:15:20,933 --> 00:15:24,400
but the technique for doing this is that you breathe really
252
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,866
deeply and slowly for a good amount of time beforehand
253
00:15:28,133 --> 00:15:29,366
and what this does is
254
00:15:29,366 --> 00:15:31,966
that it gets rid of all the carbon dioxide in your body
255
00:15:32,133 --> 00:15:33,800
and it lowers your heart rate
256
00:15:34,100 --> 00:15:38,200
and then you just have to go for it and keep calm but
257
00:15:39,533 --> 00:15:40,366
let's try
258
00:16:15,100 --> 00:16:17,766
i suddenly got through that i could see the light
259
00:16:20,566 --> 00:16:21,766
another five seconds
260
00:16:21,766 --> 00:16:25,200
i would have been through that let's give it one more go
261
00:16:25,700 --> 00:16:28,066
four minutes as maximum time as possible
262
00:16:28,066 --> 00:16:29,766
for anyone to hold their breath
263
00:16:30,866 --> 00:16:32,366
but in water this cold
264
00:16:32,533 --> 00:16:35,466
i'm gonna struggle to hold it for more than 30 seconds
265
00:17:17,966 --> 00:17:18,766
whoo
266
00:17:19,133 --> 00:17:22,100
oh Ronnie Ronnie gotta pop that
267
00:17:24,466 --> 00:17:25,800
oh it's just so cold
268
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,366
it's not gonna get out of it
269
00:17:47,166 --> 00:17:47,566
holding
270
00:17:47,566 --> 00:17:51,566
my breath underwater has really taken it out of me but now
271
00:17:51,566 --> 00:17:53,500
there's a new obstacle i've hit
272
00:17:53,500 --> 00:17:55,800
a dead end and there's no way out
273
00:18:08,900 --> 00:18:11,266
i've been swimming along a flooded Canyon
274
00:18:11,266 --> 00:18:14,700
in the hope that will lead me to a river and civilization
275
00:18:15,266 --> 00:18:16,766
the water in here is freezing
276
00:18:16,766 --> 00:18:19,500
cold and polluted with dead animals
277
00:18:20,533 --> 00:18:22,766
but now there's a new problem i've hit
278
00:18:22,766 --> 00:18:27,900
a dead end and there's no way out except to go back or to go up
279
00:18:31,666 --> 00:18:33,466
one way of getting out of these canyons
280
00:18:33,466 --> 00:18:34,700
if it's narrow enough
281
00:18:34,966 --> 00:18:39,200
is to is to use what they call a chimney climb
282
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,600
and this is a technique
283
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,066
it's a recent designed for getting itself out of a well
284
00:18:44,766 --> 00:18:48,266
but it's pretty dangerous and you gotta be so careful
285
00:18:48,266 --> 00:18:51,266
and these are the things that are pretty pretty high
286
00:18:53,300 --> 00:18:55,933
this type of sandstone is called slick rock
287
00:18:56,133 --> 00:18:57,566
because when it gets wet
288
00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,300
it becomes so slippery
289
00:18:59,933 --> 00:19:02,866
my climbing shoes will struggle to get a decent grip here
290
00:19:02,900 --> 00:19:04,000
and if i fall
291
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:05,566
it's a 30 foot drop
292
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:08,566
your technique
293
00:19:09,566 --> 00:19:14,133
for doing this is the wedge your back against the rock
294
00:19:14,500 --> 00:19:15,700
and one foot behind you
295
00:19:15,700 --> 00:19:17,766
one in front and
296
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,100
keep working your way up
297
00:19:24,266 --> 00:19:26,200
and you've got to keep the pressure forward
298
00:19:26,466 --> 00:19:29,666
and the pressure behind you as that's your only
299
00:19:33,300 --> 00:19:34,200
safety
300
00:19:52,966 --> 00:19:53,766
okay
301
00:19:54,166 --> 00:19:57,466
just jam my knees in here and amazing have a rest
302
00:19:58,366 --> 00:20:00,266
get some blood back into the arms
303
00:20:01,333 --> 00:20:04,366
but this rock's becoming much less slippy now
304
00:20:04,733 --> 00:20:06,366
and down the bottom down there
305
00:20:06,733 --> 00:20:10,466
where it's wet turns into slick rock
306
00:20:10,700 --> 00:20:14,266
but this stuff is much better and i can really get that
307
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,200
pretty good purchase on this
308
00:20:26,566 --> 00:20:31,700
okay if i just get my hand over the top make him to a fist
309
00:20:32,100 --> 00:20:36,066
i can fake for use that like a pito jam it in
310
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,066
and if i just reach it
311
00:20:38,933 --> 00:20:44,266
last a little bit and get my hand in there in a fist
312
00:20:46,866 --> 00:20:49,566
i can jam that in and take the weight
313
00:20:54,100 --> 00:20:54,900
啊
314
00:21:06,700 --> 00:21:10,133
my plan to follow the Canyon down to a river has failed
315
00:21:10,666 --> 00:21:12,600
and stepping back into the desert heat
316
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,466
feels like entering a furnace and still
317
00:21:15,466 --> 00:21:17,333
i haven't found any fresh water
318
00:21:28,366 --> 00:21:30,500
before i can think about making a new plan
319
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,400
i need to get out of the sun
320
00:21:32,533 --> 00:21:36,266
but the nearer shade is a rocky outcrop an hours hikeway
321
00:21:36,333 --> 00:21:37,900
where i might find a cave
322
00:21:41,466 --> 00:21:42,300
and this mid day
323
00:21:42,300 --> 00:21:43,966
heat even even
324
00:21:43,966 --> 00:21:44,933
this headdress you know
325
00:21:44,933 --> 00:21:46,666
it's just getting roasting hot
326
00:21:46,766 --> 00:21:50,700
and i've got to think of some way just to keep my head cool
327
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:52,266
and what i can do
328
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:58,066
though is take this off and then and then pee on it
329
00:21:58,366 --> 00:21:59,600
and it's pretty gross
330
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:04,266
but it's also not exactly gonna smell very good
331
00:22:04,666 --> 00:22:06,066
but luckily there
332
00:22:06,066 --> 00:22:09,900
not many people out here to be exactly very bothered
333
00:22:11,766 --> 00:22:14,600
and it's really really yellow p
334
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:14,933
which is
335
00:22:14,933 --> 00:22:18,500
a sign that i'm definitely getting pretty dehydrated now
336
00:22:21,100 --> 00:22:24,666
but at least this should keep my head
337
00:22:24,666 --> 00:22:25,533
a bit cooler
338
00:22:25,866 --> 00:22:28,266
and at the moment my head is just on fire
339
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,600
and smell great
340
00:22:34,900 --> 00:22:38,333
but this is really nice and cooling
341
00:22:46,100 --> 00:22:47,533
it's better
342
00:22:51,566 --> 00:22:53,733
this headdress will keep me cool for a bit
343
00:22:53,966 --> 00:22:56,400
but i desperately need to get into the shade
344
00:23:19,900 --> 00:23:23,400
ah it's just such a such a relief to find this cave
345
00:23:23,900 --> 00:23:25,700
but i've also got to be pretty careful
346
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,400
ah other desert animals might well
347
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,966
have the same idea ah of looking for the shade
348
00:23:29,966 --> 00:23:33,066
and especially ah specially snakes and actually
349
00:23:33,066 --> 00:23:36,000
if a snake is out in the hottest part of the day in the desert
350
00:23:36,133 --> 00:23:37,133
ah they will die
351
00:23:37,133 --> 00:23:40,966
they have to have this sort of shade and yeah a good way
352
00:23:40,966 --> 00:23:43,400
it's just to yeah lob a few
353
00:23:44,066 --> 00:23:45,266
a few rocks in
354
00:23:46,700 --> 00:23:48,500
just had a good look around before
355
00:23:48,766 --> 00:23:53,333
but this is gonna be perfect i think for me yeah looks clear
356
00:23:55,466 --> 00:23:56,566
last year a mountain
357
00:23:56,566 --> 00:24:00,466
Biker Kirk Rogers went riding in the moab in 100 degrees
358
00:24:00,466 --> 00:24:05,066
heat he took a wrong turn and got lost the next day
359
00:24:05,066 --> 00:24:07,866
his body was found a quarter of a mile from the trail
360
00:24:08,166 --> 00:24:10,166
dead from heat exhaustion
361
00:24:10,866 --> 00:24:14,300
shady caves like this can literally be lifesavers
362
00:24:14,566 --> 00:24:15,266
i'm gonna try
363
00:24:15,266 --> 00:24:18,700
and get some rest here and move on at a cooler time of day
364
00:24:33,966 --> 00:24:35,266
it's early morning
365
00:24:35,366 --> 00:24:39,600
the best time to travel in the desert and my main priority
366
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:41,066
is still to find water
367
00:24:46,066 --> 00:24:49,666
and it's always a good idea when you get out first thing
368
00:24:49,666 --> 00:24:50,200
in the morning
369
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:51,500
any clothes
370
00:24:51,500 --> 00:24:54,266
you haven't been wearing or boots if you take them off
371
00:24:54,500 --> 00:24:55,366
always give them
372
00:24:55,500 --> 00:24:58,900
tip them up or give clothing a good shake out
373
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:03,666
just because scorpions love to get into cool shady places
374
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,100
i'm down to my last few drops of water
375
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,800
and i desperately need to refill my canteen
376
00:25:17,366 --> 00:25:20,366
one trick is to listen for insects bees
377
00:25:20,366 --> 00:25:22,500
and mosquitoes always live near water
378
00:25:22,733 --> 00:25:24,366
and if i can find some of them
379
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,066
they might lead me to a spring
380
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,600
i've heard some somewhere in this gully
381
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,100
and this is just sort of place alike
382
00:25:32,100 --> 00:25:33,700
it's cool it's dark
383
00:25:33,900 --> 00:25:36,900
and there's probably a little bit of moisture in the ground
384
00:25:36,900 --> 00:25:37,700
as well
385
00:25:40,166 --> 00:25:42,133
the sound of insects is a good sign
386
00:25:42,133 --> 00:25:43,733
i could be getting close to water
387
00:25:51,700 --> 00:25:52,766
and this is what
388
00:25:53,066 --> 00:25:56,466
i've been looking for just this line of mineral deposits
389
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:57,600
that's the indicator
390
00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:58,333
there's a seat
391
00:25:58,333 --> 00:26:01,733
somewhere nearby water tricking out of one of these acrophas
392
00:26:01,733 --> 00:26:04,000
and you can actually see this little pool of water
393
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:05,666
had this formed here
394
00:26:05,733 --> 00:26:06,766
and what's happening
395
00:26:06,766 --> 00:26:09,333
is it's filling up and then it's running away
396
00:26:09,466 --> 00:26:12,100
and if i can just dig this out a bit
397
00:26:12,866 --> 00:26:17,533
and then dam it and stop that water seeping out
398
00:26:17,966 --> 00:26:19,200
i'll get a good amount of water
399
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,333
there probably in a few minutes that will fill out
400
00:26:22,333 --> 00:26:24,700
then i just need a way of collecting
401
00:26:24,700 --> 00:26:26,200
it and drinking it
402
00:26:30,533 --> 00:26:33,200
i'm looking for a plant called a trumpet flower
403
00:26:33,566 --> 00:26:35,733
native Americans use it as a pipe
404
00:26:35,933 --> 00:26:37,600
because it has a hollow stem
405
00:26:41,766 --> 00:26:46,100
but i can also use this as a drinking straw to get at that water
406
00:26:46,100 --> 00:26:48,533
but i've got to be pretty careful cutting this
407
00:26:48,533 --> 00:26:50,933
just because if i try and just break it off
408
00:26:50,933 --> 00:26:53,000
it's going to splinter so what i'm going to do
409
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:54,166
is just score all the way
410
00:26:54,166 --> 00:26:57,500
around the bottom and then the same at the top
411
00:26:59,100 --> 00:27:02,333
and this means when i come to snap it off it's gonna come away
412
00:27:02,333 --> 00:27:03,133
cleanly
413
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,100
and that's gonna be great
414
00:27:22,766 --> 00:27:25,333
the reservoir is filled up with water and now
415
00:27:25,333 --> 00:27:30,566
i can use a straw to suck it out the great thing about this is
416
00:27:30,566 --> 00:27:33,200
this whole process of the water seeping through this
417
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:34,600
rock means actually
418
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:38,566
even though it looked pretty murky this water is well filtered
419
00:27:38,666 --> 00:27:42,266
and i can almost guarantee that this is better quality water
420
00:27:42,266 --> 00:27:43,700
than you get in most cities
421
00:27:43,966 --> 00:27:45,000
just to tap water
422
00:27:47,900 --> 00:27:49,266
when you're dehydrated
423
00:27:49,266 --> 00:27:52,300
it's important to drink slowly as guzzling too much
424
00:27:52,300 --> 00:27:54,866
water too fast can make you vomit
425
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,066
ah so good
426
00:28:10,533 --> 00:28:14,500
i've rehydrated and my canteen is full again now
427
00:28:14,500 --> 00:28:16,366
i need to come up with another plan
428
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,133
for getting out of this desert
429
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:20,733
and the best way of finding a route
430
00:28:20,733 --> 00:28:23,400
is to survey the land from high ground
431
00:28:26,066 --> 00:28:27,000
what i'm looking for
432
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,333
is just any signs of vegetation you know trees bushes
433
00:28:30,333 --> 00:28:30,766
i don't know
434
00:28:30,766 --> 00:28:31,766
if you can see that
435
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:33,933
but there's this line of vegetation long there
436
00:28:33,933 --> 00:28:37,400
and that's the markings of a river and in the desert
437
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:38,200
where there's a river
438
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,500
there's almost always human habitation
439
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:44,500
it doesn't look that far
440
00:28:44,533 --> 00:28:46,366
but the route is far from flat
441
00:28:46,366 --> 00:28:49,566
and i want to try and find food before i start hiking there
442
00:28:57,700 --> 00:28:59,600
i'm getting really hungry now
443
00:28:59,766 --> 00:29:00,700
and i need something
444
00:29:00,700 --> 00:29:02,566
that's just gonna give me some energy
445
00:29:04,100 --> 00:29:08,466
and some food and this is just a sort of place this little gully
446
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,966
the birds or ravens would be nesting
447
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:16,266
and if i can just get myself one of those it would be amazing
448
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,500
catching a bird without a trap is nearly impossible
449
00:29:21,700 --> 00:29:23,866
but i might be able to find some makes
450
00:29:27,066 --> 00:29:30,133
bird dropping some feathers will give away their location
451
00:29:31,666 --> 00:29:33,333
there's a broken eggshell here
452
00:29:33,866 --> 00:29:34,733
which means
453
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,500
there is definitely a nest somewhere
454
00:29:39,166 --> 00:29:39,966
up here
455
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:43,866
and let this more hit
456
00:29:48,733 --> 00:29:50,466
and it could well be on that ledge
457
00:29:59,066 --> 00:29:59,866
here we go
458
00:30:03,700 --> 00:30:05,500
and this looks like it
459
00:30:05,500 --> 00:30:07,366
looks like a chuckers nest here
460
00:30:07,566 --> 00:30:11,266
and these eggs are bigger these are more like
461
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,066
these are more like ravens eggs
462
00:30:13,066 --> 00:30:14,200
and this is what ravens do
463
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,800
they'll tend to drive a little burn away from its nest
464
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,166
and then lay its own eggs in it
465
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:21,666
but either way
466
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,200
i'm gonna eat these i'm gonna have one now
467
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:26,533
i'm gonna keep one for later
468
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:40,866
all bird eggs are edible
469
00:30:40,933 --> 00:30:41,933
even the shell is a
470
00:30:41,933 --> 00:30:45,166
good source of calcium and i'm so hungry i can't help
471
00:30:45,166 --> 00:30:46,166
but eat it raw
472
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,733
but there is a risk of catching salmonella
473
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:50,800
so i'm gonna try and cook the other one
474
00:30:58,366 --> 00:31:00,600
it's probably about 120 degrees out here
475
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,333
in the heat at the moment
476
00:31:02,366 --> 00:31:03,500
and this is
477
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:07,733
this undoubtedly the hottest place i've ever been in my life
478
00:31:13,900 --> 00:31:17,300
well that's one of the best scrambled eggs i had
479
00:31:20,533 --> 00:31:22,333
i've seen a river in the distance
480
00:31:22,333 --> 00:31:25,366
and i just hope i have enough energy to reach it
481
00:31:37,333 --> 00:31:38,266
i think the river
482
00:31:38,266 --> 00:31:40,600
i saw on the horizon is still almost
483
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:44,500
a day's hike away but when the landscape is uneven
484
00:31:44,533 --> 00:31:46,666
it's easy to go round in circles
485
00:31:50,333 --> 00:31:52,200
so i'm going to use a local plant
486
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,133
to keep me heading in a straight line
487
00:31:58,100 --> 00:31:58,966
look at these guys
488
00:31:58,966 --> 00:32:01,000
these are little compass cactuses
489
00:32:01,066 --> 00:32:02,200
and they're called this
490
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,266
because they're pretty reliable indicators of direction
491
00:32:05,300 --> 00:32:08,100
and what they do they tend to grow towards the south
492
00:32:08,533 --> 00:32:12,066
and to show you how parts and dry and nutrient deficient
493
00:32:12,066 --> 00:32:13,000
the soil is
494
00:32:13,300 --> 00:32:16,500
it's taking these little caxes for about seventy five years
495
00:32:16,500 --> 00:32:18,333
just to get to this size
496
00:32:18,333 --> 00:32:20,766
but you don't really want to rely on just one of these
497
00:32:20,766 --> 00:32:23,100
but you see a few of them growing in the same direction
498
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:26,466
that's a pretty good indication that south is that way
499
00:32:26,700 --> 00:32:28,766
and if i always know where south is
500
00:32:28,766 --> 00:32:30,666
i can keep myself on a straight line
501
00:32:30,666 --> 00:32:32,100
while i'm heading for that river
502
00:32:49,500 --> 00:32:52,333
the moab is part of the great basin desert
503
00:32:52,533 --> 00:32:55,933
the highest desert in the us and the furthest north
504
00:32:56,200 --> 00:33:00,300
it experiences extreme changes in temperature and at night
505
00:33:00,333 --> 00:33:02,666
it can drop as low as 40 degrees
506
00:33:03,966 --> 00:33:07,600
the heat of the day now is beginning to die thank god
507
00:33:07,766 --> 00:33:08,733
but in a few hours
508
00:33:08,733 --> 00:33:10,533
it's going to start to get really cold
509
00:33:14,166 --> 00:33:16,300
i need materials for a fire
510
00:33:19,966 --> 00:33:23,000
and whenever you're reaching around like this getting anything
511
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:24,400
you got to be so careful
512
00:33:24,866 --> 00:33:28,266
just for any snakes that camouflage them so well
513
00:33:28,766 --> 00:33:29,966
in the undergrowth
514
00:33:38,866 --> 00:33:40,300
with the temperature dropping
515
00:33:40,300 --> 00:33:42,533
i'll need to get a fire started soon
516
00:33:42,933 --> 00:33:45,933
but dusk is also a good time to go hunting for food
517
00:33:49,966 --> 00:33:53,066
the moab is home to a dozen different types of snake
518
00:33:53,066 --> 00:33:57,100
and they are all edible i'm gonna try and catch one for dinner
519
00:34:02,066 --> 00:34:03,866
i'm just gonna see
520
00:34:03,866 --> 00:34:06,766
if i can just find something to eat
521
00:34:06,933 --> 00:34:10,100
and replace some of these calories that i'm losing out here
522
00:34:10,300 --> 00:34:12,333
all the snakes really when the heat of the day
523
00:34:12,566 --> 00:34:15,466
they'll be tucked away in the shade at this time
524
00:34:15,466 --> 00:34:17,300
they're out they're nocturnal hunters
525
00:34:17,500 --> 00:34:20,166
and they're looking for food just like me
526
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:32,400
look look here
527
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,333
we go little rattler
528
00:34:37,566 --> 00:34:39,300
and this is a good size
529
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:43,900
a good sized little rattlesnake here and to capture snake
530
00:34:43,900 --> 00:34:45,400
use a rock to stun it
531
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:46,800
then pin its head to the ground
532
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,266
with a stick and crush its skull
533
00:34:50,700 --> 00:34:53,266
yeah this is this is a faded midget
534
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:55,966
they're called faded midgets
535
00:34:55,966 --> 00:34:58,866
because their patterning is very undistinct
536
00:34:58,866 --> 00:34:59,666
it's very faded
537
00:34:59,666 --> 00:35:01,000
which means they're camouflaged
538
00:35:01,166 --> 00:35:03,700
brilliantly into all of this sand and rock
539
00:35:04,266 --> 00:35:06,700
these are these are highly venomous snakes
540
00:35:06,700 --> 00:35:09,333
and you've got to be very careful
541
00:35:09,333 --> 00:35:12,600
with these guys well listen to that rattle
542
00:35:12,666 --> 00:35:14,700
that's just her warning saying keep back
543
00:35:16,333 --> 00:35:18,533
but she's looking straight at me here
544
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,266
this sort of snake for bit
545
00:35:22,266 --> 00:35:25,766
you didn't get treatment it could well kill you
546
00:35:27,333 --> 00:35:29,266
in a life or death situation
547
00:35:29,266 --> 00:35:31,566
i'd have to kill the snake to survive
548
00:35:31,933 --> 00:35:35,700
but the faded midget is a protected species tonight
549
00:35:35,766 --> 00:35:37,000
i'm going hungry
550
00:35:43,366 --> 00:35:47,166
snakes aren't the only creatures that come out at night mountain
551
00:35:47,166 --> 00:35:48,866
lions do their hunting in the dark
552
00:35:48,866 --> 00:35:49,666
as well
553
00:35:50,133 --> 00:35:51,400
they're extremely rare
554
00:35:51,666 --> 00:35:54,000
but this is just a sort of terrain they like
555
00:35:55,733 --> 00:35:58,933
my number one priority is to get a fire going
556
00:35:59,166 --> 00:36:02,300
it'll keep me warm and ward off any predators
557
00:36:03,900 --> 00:36:06,800
it's got noticeably colder now
558
00:36:07,066 --> 00:36:09,500
but i've got a really good tender nest here
559
00:36:09,733 --> 00:36:11,900
i've got my kindling from that rabbit brush
560
00:36:11,933 --> 00:36:15,200
and i've got my Flint that always try and carry with me
561
00:36:15,733 --> 00:36:17,733
i got a key with a fire
562
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,100
it's to nurture it when it's small
563
00:36:24,466 --> 00:36:26,366
it's amazing when you're all alone
564
00:36:26,566 --> 00:36:29,133
just how much strength you draw from having a fire
565
00:36:43,533 --> 00:36:46,366
i'm just turning this little camera on
566
00:36:46,366 --> 00:36:49,066
but i don't know if you can hear that but there's
567
00:36:50,566 --> 00:36:52,466
can you hear that there's definitely something
568
00:36:53,666 --> 00:36:55,666
there's definitely something rattling outside
569
00:36:55,666 --> 00:37:01,133
and it's either a little rattlesnake going past listen listen
570
00:37:03,366 --> 00:37:04,900
other little rat snake going past
571
00:37:04,900 --> 00:37:05,733
a cable
572
00:37:06,166 --> 00:37:09,933
it could be a just a non venomous snake that often
573
00:37:09,933 --> 00:37:10,666
what they do is
574
00:37:10,666 --> 00:37:15,100
they'll drag their tails through some dry brush and like mimic
575
00:37:15,100 --> 00:37:15,900
a rattle
576
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:19,766
i don't want to be getting out trying to scare this thing off
577
00:37:19,766 --> 00:37:23,766
and i don't want it getting in past the edge of the fire here
578
00:37:24,133 --> 00:37:27,166
but maybe if i was gonna bang this water bottle
579
00:37:30,100 --> 00:37:32,066
just because snakes don't like vibrations
580
00:37:32,066 --> 00:37:33,900
and they'll go on the vibrations
581
00:37:33,900 --> 00:37:36,933
and if i just signal that i'm here
582
00:37:43,500 --> 00:37:46,866
with rattlesnakes about it's gonna be a long night
583
00:37:57,333 --> 00:37:59,866
i've been traveling for three days through the moab
584
00:37:59,866 --> 00:38:02,766
desert in search of a river and at last
585
00:38:02,766 --> 00:38:04,700
i can see signs that i'm getting closer
586
00:38:09,566 --> 00:38:13,466
i've entered an area of dense vegetation and the bushes around
587
00:38:13,466 --> 00:38:16,466
me can give me a clue as to how far i have to go
588
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:24,400
all of these tamaris and Willow just love water
589
00:38:24,900 --> 00:38:28,566
and they're telling me that there's got to be this river
590
00:38:28,566 --> 00:38:29,866
somewhere close now
591
00:38:35,733 --> 00:38:40,300
and there it is and there's also a windmill the other side
592
00:38:40,300 --> 00:38:43,000
and what i'm hoping is that there's gonna be a house
593
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,600
or something nearby
594
00:38:46,500 --> 00:38:49,700
i'm pretty sure the only river this size in the moab is
595
00:38:49,700 --> 00:38:50,733
the Colorado
596
00:38:50,900 --> 00:38:55,700
one of the most dangerous rivers in America it may look placid
597
00:38:55,766 --> 00:38:59,866
but beneath the surface runs a powerful current every year
598
00:38:59,866 --> 00:39:01,700
unsuspecting Taurus are swept
599
00:39:01,700 --> 00:39:02,733
away and drowned
600
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:08,000
and along its edge are murky pools that could conceal quicksand
601
00:39:09,866 --> 00:39:11,966
cowboys were always so careful with quicksand
602
00:39:11,966 --> 00:39:13,333
when they were herding cattle
603
00:39:13,333 --> 00:39:14,333
along riverbanks
604
00:39:14,333 --> 00:39:17,166
just because it's so easy for cattle to die in the stuff
605
00:39:17,366 --> 00:39:20,600
they walk into it they start to struggle and as they struggle
606
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:22,200
they just get sucked deeper into it
607
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:24,300
but if you did get stuck in quicksand
608
00:39:24,666 --> 00:39:26,666
i'm going to show you how to get out of it
609
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:39,500
and i can just feel it begin more
610
00:39:39,500 --> 00:39:42,866
i try to pull the leg out the more it sucks it in
611
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:46,333
and if i just allow myself to struggle
612
00:39:46,333 --> 00:39:49,933
you can see how i just begin to sink down into it
613
00:39:58,366 --> 00:40:02,100
and the way to then get out of it is that you've got to stop
614
00:40:02,100 --> 00:40:04,566
fighting and try
615
00:40:04,566 --> 00:40:06,500
and then lift your body up
616
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,933
and try and wriggle onto the surface and change the angle
617
00:40:15,900 --> 00:40:16,966
pull an arm up
618
00:40:23,100 --> 00:40:26,166
and then ease the left legger
619
00:40:31,566 --> 00:40:33,266
g try
620
00:40:33,266 --> 00:40:35,533
monkey crawl your way out
621
00:40:40,733 --> 00:40:41,100
okay
622
00:40:41,100 --> 00:40:44,766
now i'm on the surface and then just monkey crawl out of it
623
00:40:44,766 --> 00:40:48,333
and you can cross a lot of quicksand in this way
624
00:40:55,766 --> 00:40:56,733
and that's why
625
00:40:57,166 --> 00:40:59,000
i'm not gonna be able to wade this river
626
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:00,766
i'm gonna have to swim it
627
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:04,300
because it's all gonna be like this horrible loop
628
00:41:04,933 --> 00:41:06,666
but i just need five minutes first
629
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:12,700
the windmill on the other side is telling me
630
00:41:12,700 --> 00:41:16,300
i can't be far from civilization but to get to it
631
00:41:16,333 --> 00:41:18,700
i'm going to have to swim the Colorado river
632
00:41:21,066 --> 00:41:25,600
the way to cross wide rivers like this is to swim diagonally
633
00:41:25,766 --> 00:41:27,066
and with the current
634
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:30,600
because the current in this river is so strong
635
00:41:30,666 --> 00:41:32,900
it's impossible to swim against it
636
00:41:47,533 --> 00:41:52,366
it's much faster flying than i first thought now
637
00:41:52,366 --> 00:41:53,066
i'm actually in it
638
00:41:53,066 --> 00:41:55,966
and i'm being pulled fast downstream
639
00:42:03,733 --> 00:42:07,766
i just hope there's gonna be somebody actually over here
640
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:15,500
i know there are small communities scattered
641
00:42:15,500 --> 00:42:18,866
all along the rivers that run through the moab wherever
642
00:42:18,866 --> 00:42:20,300
there's a river in the desert
643
00:42:20,366 --> 00:42:22,100
there's bound to be civilization
644
00:42:22,100 --> 00:42:23,666
somewhere along the banks
645
00:42:29,766 --> 00:42:31,966
i feel like my journey through this remarkable
646
00:42:31,966 --> 00:42:34,300
landscape is almost at an end
647
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:38,100
if i've learned anything out here
648
00:42:38,366 --> 00:42:39,733
it's just how fast
649
00:42:39,733 --> 00:42:44,066
this arid parched burning desert can set the life out of you
650
00:42:44,533 --> 00:42:45,266
and on your own
651
00:42:45,266 --> 00:42:47,966
they say that only the strong and the lucky survive
652
00:42:48,333 --> 00:42:50,933
and i don't feel very strong in fact
653
00:42:50,933 --> 00:42:52,400
i feel pretty wiped out
654
00:42:53,166 --> 00:42:56,100
but i do feel lucky and for me
655
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,700
it's definitely time to start heading home
