This is the hardest terrain.

Patagonia. It's a different environment
entirely.

Everything out here is so hard.

Patagonia's no joke.

Are you willing to give up who you are
for what you will become?

Has Patagonia forgot things?

Patagonia! It's tougher than I ever
imagined.

She's missing home right now. You get a
feeling of helplessness, like, why am I

doing this? Oh, my God!

The last person left won $500,000 and is
a badass.

Bam!

What is that?

It's just how far you can push yourself
and what you're able to do. You don't

have anyone to lean on. Go to bed
hungry, wake up hungry.

Can't believe I did that.

It's going to come down to mental
endurance and food deprivation.

First to be dead in a week at this rate.

Whoa, that's a big cat.

We're about to get dropped off at the
edge of the earth, Patagonia, some of

the most desolate terrain known to man.

This is the hardest challenge anyone can
do. It's such a vast, harsh location,

and we're completely alone.

We're all going to be on this new
foreign land leading into winter.

It's going to get nasty.

No storms and winds.

It's just going to come down to pure
gut.

Holy cow.

All alone.

The biggest thing to be worried about
are predators.

Boar is just running rampant, and
there's puma. I mean, who's not going to

be scared of a cat that weighs almost as
much as me that wants to attack from the

back by grabbing my neck?

Oh, my God, this is it?

We don't know what the resources are
like down here, so it's up to me to

figure out all the different ways to
live on a foreign land for an

undetermined amount of time.

What did I just do?

Wow.

I'll never be in a more beautiful spot.

I see some cool things around here
already. I see some bamboo.

I see a stream running into the lake.

I see humongous peaks. I see awesome
trees.

And I see a lot of opportunity for me to
succeed.

I'm going to try to get a quick shelter
set up tonight.

I think I found a sweet little spot.

I want to get something set up quick and
easy so that I can just get out of the

elements if it starts to rain and I have
a place to lay my head for night one.

I need to keep myself warm. I need to
keep myself dry, get a fire going, and

stay out of the elements because those
are the things that are going to kill me

first. This is no joke. I mean, this is
the edge of the earth.

It's very remote.

This is rugged country out here. It's
cold.

Mountains are huge.

It's not easy living.

This is the real deal.

I feel that I'm ready to be tested and
to really put my mind to the test and my

skills to the test for this journey.

My current job is a high school teacher.
I did start

a survival class there probably about
eight years ago.

So my knowledge of survival from when I
started that class until now has grown

exponentially.

My strongest skill set is probably my
positive attitude.

PMA is what I teach all my kids in all
my classes, positive mental attitude. I

have kids walking down the hall, you
know, they're like, PMA, Mr. Shields,

PMA. I'm like, PMA, you know, and that's
what I teach in my classes because it

makes a difference between everything in
life.

My wife and I, we had some trouble
having our own children. It was a little

bit sad for a while, but we kind of feel
like it's...

Happening for a reason.

They're in the process of adopting three
boys.

And, you know, we've been involved in
this process probably since last summer.

We were looking for siblings, you know.

We didn't just want one child.

So as soon as we kind of like started
the process, they're like, wait, you

want three?

We're like, yeah, that's exactly what we
want. And we have three boys coming to

us. You guys going to miss daddy?

Are you kidding?

Of course they will.

How is it going to affect me knowing
that the kids are on their way, so to

speak, and my wife is sort of dealing
with this on her own? I knew that it was

happening, and she knew, and we had a
long talk, well, many long talks, and

this is what I wanted to do, and she
wants me to live my dreams, and this is

one of my dreams.

My strategy is to kind of mentally block
that stuff out. I mean, I hate to say

it, but to get through this, I think
that's going to be something I'm going

to have to do.

Not bad for...

A little bit of a day's work.

So I'm trying to get some fire stuff
together.

Some of the shaggy stuff in the bark, as
you can see.

Just kind of want to scrape it down.

Matter of fact, this is looking pretty
good.

Let's give this a shot. I just want to
test a little piece of this tinder and

see if it goes up.

Here we go, baby. Come on.

Nothing around now.

I have a long way to go, but at least I
got fire. I got a little shelter set up

for the first night.

So I'm feeling pretty good.

Instead of trying to get situated, I
figured I would just take a quick little

walk and see what my new property has to
offer.

And I'm just going to try and take in
the whole area and just examine the

landscape and then figure out what my
first step is going to be.

I should probably go over towards where
the sun is, but that also might be where

it gets more wind because of the
exposure.

I'm looking for a spot to set up for at
least tonight.

And then when first light hits tomorrow,
finding the next spot for a long, long

time.

Just trying to get a feel for the
landscape right now.

Pretty steep.

Very gnarly and wet.

Got to make sure you're careful with
your steps. Everything's slippery.

Watch your feet, Campbell. That's what I
always tell you. Watch your feet.

Watch your feet.

See if you see any tracks in the mud.

Here's a deer track.

Yep. Which way is it going?

This way. Yep. My son, Campbell.

He's so special to me, and everything I
do is for his betterment. We have a

bobcat around our house, and we're going
to try to catch it. This is my fort.

Everything I've learned through the
culmination of my life, I get to share

with that little boy, and I'm trying to
build him into a great person, and he's

already well on his way.

Do you want to know anything about the
way it looks or the animals or anything?

Yeah, I want to know what the animals
are.

I'll tell you what, there's going to be
something like Zuko, but it's much

bigger. Bobcat. Bigger.

Lion? Not a lion, but a mountain lion or
a puma.

Those are cool, aren't they?

Mm-hmm. Are you going to really hunt
them?

I'm not hunting those, and hopefully
they won't be hunting me.

How long will you be gone? More than 30
days?

We'll see how long I'm going to be gone,
but it could be 30 days.

It could be 40 days.

50, 60, or 70? It could be 50, 60, 70.

It could be 300.

We'll see.

It should be fine while I'm gone.

I work in accounting, which is such a
contrast to the things that I enjoy to

do outside of work.

Bushcraft is kind of instilled in my
brain. It's something that I've always

been doing. I want to show what I can
do, what I'm capable of. Bye, buddy man.

Take care of mommy, right?

Okay. Be a good man.

I'll be the man of the house. There you
go.

I'm looking for a plot that's about 20
by 20 feet and is flat.

And that's going to be hard.

Let's see what's over here.

Definitely need to hit some layers.

We're getting hot in here.

I want to start sweating.

And I'll get cold really fast.

So...

Look

at that.

A complete skeleton.

And over here, a cow skull sitting up
here.

Good gracious.

You know what? Look at that.

There's another size mandible in here
that does not go with the size of that

skull.

It's possible that it was taken out by a
puma and dragged it back here and had a

fantastic feast.

Maybe I'm sitting in a damn puma.

kill zone what's that

I hear a noise

something is around here

Here's something.

I'll dismiss it.

You won't hear a puma.

Still on the search for a good first
night camp location.

Got a bunch of game trails right here.

Pathways are trampled to death.

Oh, now that is a lot of very fresh boar
scat.

Flies still on it fresh.

That kind of gives you the idea of the
size of pig I might be dealing with.

I was worried about seeing boar
activity.

Boars like to come out right when the
sun goes down and disappear right before

day.

That might just set one little snare,
just out of curiosity.

So I just put a little simple slip knot
on the end and made a loop.

I'm going to have it hanging head level,
maybe a little bit lower.

I'm not exactly sure of the size I'm
dealing with, so anything coming down

this path in low light will go right
through there.

Hopefully I'll hear it and be able to
get out here to it. And that'll be my

dinner bell.

I plan on setting a lot of these.

This is just the first one.

I'm worried about losing daylight.

I'll tell you what, right now, I can
make that into a nice little shelter.

Keep it simple for today.

Venture out tomorrow.

Keep it simple.

That felt really good.

It always feels good to jump in the
water.

Yeah.

Okay.

Anytime I come to a new place where
there's a body of water, I go in it.

It's a way of deepening my connection
with the earth.

I'm really inspired by the land.

I really see a lot of possibility for
little things I want to do.

I was able to put up my little temporary
shelter.

It's cozy, but I'm going to take my
time, take it slow.

This isn't about trying to survive out
here.

That is not how I'm looking at it at
all.

I am totally looking at this as this is
my home. This

is where I'm moving to.

We like to thrive in my world.

I am not planning on being out here and
not being comfortable.

So I'm going to make a chair.

Check this out.

Now we've entered the bamboo forest.

No, a chair is not a necessity.

But being comfortable is so important
out here.

It's just a way of feeling at home.

I would not claim that I'm the most
skilled by any means in terms of

bushcraft, but my lifestyle lends itself
to doing something like this.

I've lived off-grid for many years, and
I've been pretty much alone most of that

time. Knowing how to problem-solve and
think critically and self-soothe, all

that, is really what I think separates
the people who make it long-term versus

the people who go home early on.

The prize money is a huge factor for me
doing this.

What I would do is buy the piece of land
that I live on. You know, I don't have a

partner, I don't have kids, but I have
this incredible net and support system,

my family and my community and my
friends. When I'm out there, I can draw

upon that foundation.

But I've never, ever gone more than two
weeks without talking to my mom.

That's going to be the biggest challenge
for me.

Okay, so we got the frame of our chair.
It's kind of a recliner.

I'm digging it.

Dig it.

Okay, so now I'm going to go up and out.

So we need to do a little bit of
fashioning of these.

Already I feel like I'm thriving.

You know?

I can see that already I'm using
projects.

as a big form of distraction.

And I feel very good about the home I'm
creating here, and I have so many

projects in my mind.

That should do it.

Oh, yeah.

Even something as little as a chair.

It can make all the difference.

I hope I see a UFO when I'm out here.

This would be prime UFO locating.

I hear a noise.

And I'm trying to figure out if it
sounds like a distress call, like

something is stuck in my trap.

That's what it sounds like.

I want to confirm before I go running
off into the woods.

Something's, ooh, let's go check it out.

Got my knife.

Sounds like something in distress.

Creepy sound Here my heartbeat I

set my trap over here

Sounds like something in distress.

My trap is still set.

Right there.

What is that?

It's way up there.

I do have my sheath unsnapped.

On an unlikely occasion, I do have to
pull it out and fend off something.

And no easy win.

I guess I'll just head back to the fire.

Predators out here are something that's
definitely lurking in the recesses of my

brain. I just have to be very careful
and mindful and not be careless and just

try and stay focused.

Sleep tight.

Day two.

Feels good to say day two.

Feels really good to say day two.

Been waiting a long time to start day
one, and now I'm on day two.

I like that.

I've got big plans for today, but I've
got to take advantage of all the

daylight.

I think I'm going to try and make a
teepee today.

I'm going to have to build a pretty
kick-butt shelter to withstand the

winds, the snow that's going to come.

It's going to be one of the most serious
winters I've ever experienced.

One of the primary concerns is
thermoregulation and keeping my core

body temperature where it's supposed to
be.

So I've decided to whack down a couple
trees with my axe, put up a wrap-and

-frap kind of tripod to work, maybe.

Now the moment of truth.

And just add probably five or six more
logs to that.

And then wrap the tarp around it.

The reason I like this design is because
you can keep a fire in the middle of it

to keep you warm through the night. And
also the smoke will escape through the

top.

Hey, America.

How are you?

Hey.

Time to try to get a bed going real
quick.

You don't want to lay on the ground.

It's too cold.

Suck the heat out of your body, and then
you get sick and die.

A single bamboo stick wouldn't hold
anything, but you get all of them

together, pretty sturdy.

It's weird to think about that this is
not me just teaching a class at school

or messing around in the woods near my
house. This is real.

My body is so awesomely tired right now.

You know when you've had a really great
day of working hard physically and your

body's just like... Today

I spent the day doing some

more exploring.

Coming out here...

It was very clear that I was not going
to be hunting more.

You know, I'm not a huntress.

I really wanted my focus to be on
foraging and fishing.

I just set one line out.

I found a nice little stash of firewood,
which I think I'm going to go and try

and gather more of tomorrow.

I also foraged.

Found a lot more mushrooms and tons of
berries. Look at this beautiful bowl of

fruit.

This place is unbelievably abundant and
so beautiful.

I'm just so looking forward to the
future here.

Oh, my God.

Wow, what a beauty.

Okay.

Thank you for your life, fish.

Thank you so much.

I'm going to make nice fish head soup.

Now this I'm going to save for bait.

Should we see what was inside the fish's
stomach?

Wow, look.

An entire shell.

Look, a beetle.

So the trout seem to be eating whole
snails, pieces of stick, and a

beetle. So I'm going to use the beetle
from the inside of the stomach as bait.

Starting to get into a groove here.

Understanding the different rhythms and
patterns and how you interact with the

land, how the land interacts with you,
what resources the land has.

Oh my gosh.

Check it out.

I can't believe I caught two fish.

It's an amazing feeling.

Da-da-da!

Hello?

Ah!

It's dark all the time here, and then it
rains.

I thought if I can just stay busy, it
would just go away, but the thoughts are

overwhelming.

It's having a moment here.

It's raining out.

What am I going to do?

I have all these ideas. I want to put in
a stone floor, expand my shelter.

I found a tree cache for wood.

But it's raining.

And I just... It's dark all the time
here.

Then it rains. Want to play it out?

Day three, day three,

day three.

I keep thinking about my wife, and I
keep thinking about three kids that

we're adopting this summer.

I thought if I can just stay busy, it
would just go away, but I'm just sitting

here.

The thoughts kind of just are
overwhelming.

I can't get that out of my head.

It just won't go away.

Number one rule, survival, stay
positive.

PMA, positive mental attitude.

I wouldn't be here if I didn't have the
skills.

It's just a matter of one skill that I
can't control.

My brain.

Hello?

I am tapping out.

I do feel ashamed, I really do.

Thousands of people would have wanted to
be in this spot, and I got here, and

this is what I did.

Hey, guys.

I'm done. I tapped out.

I have so much going on at home.

my wife and we're adopting these three
kids this summer and it's like i can't

get out of my head i go crazy and work
hard and you know just stay busy but it

just keeps getting back into my brain
and i can't i just can't get rid of it

when you're really truly alone it's it's
another story um so that hit me

pretty hard that hit me hard after just
a few days and that was it

I probably underestimated Patagonia.

I really thought I could do at least a
month.

It's cold here.

It's wet. It's dark.

And survival's not easy. It's not easy
at all.

It's harder here than you think.

Being alone, it takes a special kind of
person.

It's just not something that I guess I
was ready for.

This is me on the third day.

Oh, I'm not doing it right.

I'm supposed to be looking at the camera
and looking at the thing.

All right.

This is me.

Do it again. No, looking at the lens.

Man, I got to turn that thing away. I
just cannot not look at it.

This is me on the third morning.

All right, that's all you get.

I found myself a little area.

It's only like 15 feet from where I was
dropped off.

But my choices are limited.

My sight is almost completely uphill.

It rained all night.

This whole area was soaked with water
just coming down the hill.

All my stuff is damp.

I need to move further up and further
in.

When you're going somewhere to settle a
place, you don't just stop at the most

miserable place you can find and try to
make the best of it.

You push on until you find the promised
land.

So I've got to explore my territory,
find a spot where it plateaus above,

where it's safe, where I can make
something permanent.

Just looking at the best way to go up
this hill.

This is what I'm working with here.

It's a 45-degree angle heading up into
the woods.

This is one tough place.

This hillside is so treacherous.

Almost impossible to walk through.

There could be a whole different
ballgame going on up there.

It's kind of the way it is here. You go
around the corner and...

over a hillside or around the bend, and
it's a different environment entirely.

Looks to be signing a game.

That looks like a big boar.

You just got to be careful.

This is crazy.

This is pretty freaking crazy.

Four will aggressively attack.

You can't let your guard down.

I read somewhere a plan of attack.

Never survives first contact with the
enemy.

Already, I have found that to be true.

Maine's nothing compared to this.

Big spin.

I live in a yurt off-grid in Maine with
my wife, Jamie, my daughter, Abigail,

who's four, and our daughter, Sparrow,
who was just born to us almost a year

now. Yay!

Think of ourselves as minimalists.

We don't have running water unless we
run and get it. We don't have power

until we turn the power on at night for
light.

My skills for survival and things are
self-taught. I am living a survival

situation every day.

My greatest skill set is my ability to
build stuff.

If I can imagine it, I can make it.

So are you going to miss living in the
yurt?

The prize money is kind of a big deal to
us. We could really use it. We want to

build a bigger house.

It would be like a 10-year jump in
getting us towards that goal.

You remember, trust your struggle. You
just don't give up when it gets hard.

I won't. I'm going to miss you so much.
I know.

I see this as an opportunity and a
stepping stone to build a better life

for my family.

Down there somewhere.

is my beach area.

Look at that mountain range.

Gorgeous.

The way I live at home is so tough and
rugged that I know about not giving up

until you are safe and secure for the
night.

Further up and further in.

This massive tree tipped over.

The root base is up there, and it goes
down, and it's just, it's huge.

I was thinking of incorporating this big
tree into the back of my shelter as a

back wall, so if I slept up against it
and the rest of my shelter came out from

there, it might protect me from anything
that fell from the trees.

I think building a shelter here will
work really good, but...

Heading up and down that hill every day
will be a real challenge.

Holy crap.

Look at this.

Big pile of bones.

This is unreal.

Kadapuma.

Take down a cow.

If I move up here, I might be moving
closer to his territory.

My goodness.

Down here setting up fish line.

I want to try out fish hook way out in
the water.

I found a spot where I plan to build my
shelter.

With all the resources of bamboo and
stuff that are up there, I can build a

pretty damn awesome shelter.

I'll just go up and work on what I can
each day and come back down.

Maybe a little work on the trail as I go
up the hill.

This will be the interesting part.

Got one fish line in.

Get one in every day.

There's something big crashing around
out there.

Just got a glimpse of his eyes.

That's a big cat.

Whoa cat.

Whoa cat.

A lot of people go through life never
learning how to be alone.

Out here, there's no time off. You take
a break, you're done. Oh my God, it's

like quicksand.

I'm in Patagonia so that I can evolve as
a human being.

Thank you.

I am who I am and I got to do what I got
to do out here. I can't get warm. I

can't move my hands.

Water's coming up about a foot from my
bed. This is a bad situation.

When all of the things aren't going very
well for you, then the isolation is what

starts to give you. Got the fish.

I've heard that noise yet. The duck
trappinator.

And a motor out there.

Survival isn't about being happy. It
sucks.

Oh, my God.

There's definitely something outside.
