Original subtitles

This is what I'm eating from this moose hide.

I like this experience, but I wouldn't like it

to go forever and ever.

What the [bleep]?

Flinging arrows at [bleep] squirrels.

What the [bleep] is happening to me here?

My mind is breaking down.

Hands are tattered.

Body's broken.

Might be fighting a losing battle no matter what.

No, no, no. Come on.

Yeah!

This is the perfect example

of how much of a mental game this thing is.

Yes!

I'm realising that I'm winding myself down mentally,

and that's affecting me physically.

It's not over until it's actually over, dude.

Yes!

It's day 80!

Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop!

Let's take it back to the '80s.

We got the sprinkler.

Lawn mower.

The bus driver.

Hey-yo, hey-yo.

And the cowboy.

Day 80!

Yeah.

And...

♪ Oonse-oonse-oonse-oonse

Rocking my Kie hat.

Kie's wolf hat.

Yeah, I know she'll be thinking about today.

Good vibes going around.

Ah.

Let's see if I can land some fish out of the gillnet.

Whoop, whoop!

Kie as support has just been incredible,

one of my best friends, basically family to me.

And to join her at 80 days

and to kind of get some sort of glimpse

into what her experience actually means,

I feel really, really honoured.

It's always optimistic when I come out and have a look,

and you can see with the gillnet,

and you can see there's, like, that dark patch there

where there's no ice that's formed.

Kind of tells me that there might be

some movement... about.

Going through this journey, it's really cemented in myself

like, this is what I want to do...

All right.

Got to break away... the ice.

Finding ways to be able to help facilitate people

with the land and being an outdoor advocate

and finding that balance between the natural world

and the modern world.

Come on.

Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.

Chill.

Jeez, jeez.

Hold up, hold up, hold up.

Come on.

Come on, come on, come on, come on.

Yeah.

Inconnu.

Phew.

Yes.

And it's not about people coming out

and doing 80 days solo in the wilderness.

It's just about people having that same relationship

that I do with the land.

Dispatch it.

Day 80, inconnu.

Whoo-hoo!

Mwah!

Thank you.

Thank you!

Hoo, hoo, yeah!

Inconnu for dinner.

So it's, like, sort of coming down a little bit,

you know, coming down off the high

of the 80.

And...

you know, it's those, like...

it's those times where you kind of come down

where you need to sort of be able to regroup

and refocus and think about,

all right, what's next to move forward?

Like, celebrate, absolutely, but just also just know, like,

I'm eating one fish a day.

So it's not going to sustain me much longer.

And so just not getting wrapped up in that too much

and just focusing on...

you know, the next thing.

You know, not quit because I'm tired.

Like, none of it's...

Individually, none of it's really difficult, but...

The cumulative, it's...

It builds up. It's tough.

I want to show you something.

I don't know if you can see

this mist cloud.

There are mountains.

And they have some sun.

And that's pretty much it.

I won't see sun again...

as long as I'm here.

Quite soon, there will be

complete darkness all the time.

Quite sad moment again.

Okay, I'm going to check snares.

I know that days

where I will be still able to see sun

are very, very few now.

It's getting worse and worse here down.

In couple of days, sun won't rise anymore.

So I'm very close to the polar night.

I see a lot of new footprints.

I was preparing before, but to be honest,

I don't know how it will feel to be without sun

for I don't know how long.

I imagine that to be in complete darkness,

that might be very depressing.

Damn.

It was the fox walking here.

Crazy.

So I really hope

I will have enough of activities

in my shelter to keep my mind busy

and not to go in this depressive mode.

Wait.

Where is the snare?

Where is this [bleep]?

This animal managed to get away with a snare.

How is this possible?

[bleep] damn it.

I could have the predator,

probably the fox.

But...

obviously it got snared

and managed to get away.

There's a sign of the wire. The wire was with it.

Damn it.

I could have a fox now...

if I would tie it more strong.

But now I don't see the signs of wire anymore.

Go back...

because my toes--they feel cold.

This is probably the coldest day

I have ever had,

and my toe feels numb,

which is a bad sign.

[bleep].

My toes are numb.

I keep on moving them,

but I can still feel a bit of numbness.

I'm starting to get a bit afraid to get frostnip.

Frostnip is actually the first stage

towards frostbite.

If it goes in very severe condition,

you can actually lose toes.

This will lead to tap-out in the end.

Really, I think

that in survival aspect now,

it's the best to stay warm, mostly in the shelter,

and mentally, I mean, staying sane...

which is sad.

It's, for me, a bit difficult to comprehend

that this is really happening.

I don't know how this will impact me mentally.

I don't like this strategy.

I would like to be outside

and do, like, tons of different things.

But maybe today's day was a nice warning

that especially with this toe now...

that, Ziga, mm, if you want to stay long...

You have to take care of yourself.

What's up, guys?

Just got back from the trapline.

It is damn cold.

Oh, my hands are going to freeze off.

We got one bunny, but, like, the bunnies I've been getting,

I've had to just take the snare off the tree,

because my hands are too cold to get it off its neck.

Sometimes you have to fight with it a bit.

And, yeah, so it was a struggle this morning.

We're burning through the firewood like crazy,

so I have to, like...

I have to get two trees done today no matter what.

And that's just gonna be rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat.

The cold temperatures are here to stay now,

and this is unbearable almost.

I have to warm up my toes after this.

I can get the fire going quite easy,

but the mud's starting to crack.

I'm starting to see pinholes everywhere.

I feel a breeze coming through.

Took me a couple hours to do two trees.

I have an issue with my fireplace.

Put a big hole right here.

I'm going to stack...

These big timbers like so.

I'm just going to pack snow and ice in there.

So my plan is, I'll boil water,

put snow in my pot to make a slush pit,

and then I'm going to patch all my holes with ice.

So this will be the glue.

It'll close all the holes,

and I'm just going to make this thing an icebox.

So the bricks and mortar--it's...

snow and timbers.

It is any day now that somebody can win.

It could be tomorrow, the next day,

or it could be a month from now.

Like, there might be five people left,

so I got to prepare.

No rest for the wicked.

Once that freezes...

She ain't going nowheres.

No more hole.

I put a lot into this.

My body's pretty beat up.

The feeling's not the same anymore

in my feet or hands.

Don't want to risk frostbite or anything, so I came inside.

Try to get these feet warm.

It's going to get colder.

I'm going to bitch and complain.

Ripping the heat in here now.

It's working.

But I don't want to get it too warm

and melt all the ice chunks.

But guess what.

We're not quitting yet.

It's, like, I hate the wind. Now I hate the cold.

Like, what does this guy even want?

I want to go home. That's what I want.

This has been an adventure, a hard one, mentally,

physically, and emotionally,

and I'm about ready for it to be done.

But only if it's for a W.

Okay.

So down there...

bed.

And then I rotate up, a little bit on top,

and it's just ice.

Ice, ice, ice.

There's a little of what my shelter looks like.

And from the inside...

just completely iced up.

Need more heat fire.

It's like, no, you need to think

of the weather window now.

So I'm going to the gillnet now

whilst there's still light outside

and do all that sort of stuff, so...

My home that I love is changing a little bit now

with the relationship, and it's doing its job.

As soon as you're up out of the bag, you know,

there's, like, a race to go back into the sleeping bag.

I can't help but think, like, at this stage,

we're getting to the end.

And as each day goes by,

like, the possibility of actually winning this,

yeah, starts to become more and more real.

And it's hard, because looking historically

at the other seasons,

I could have actually won by now.

And, yeah, you start to fantasise about that

and think about, like, what does that mean?

And the idea of having an Australian to come

to the Arctic and to win the world championship

is just-- like, what a statement.

That gets me really excited and gives me

a lot of motivation to continue.

And every day that ticks by...

That possibility becomes more and more real.

But, also, I try not to get too carried away with it,

because there's still a lot of work to be done

and it really can still be a really long season.

So it's exciting,

but not getting too carried away with it.

Oh, we got a fish.

Let's see if we can get her out.

Whoa!

That is huge.

Holy crap.

Look at the size of this guy.

That is the biggest fish I've ever caught.

Huge pike.

Big, full belly.

It's already frozen.

How am I going to do this?

I'm going to break a hole again.

I definitely have food up to 91.

Jeez, that is so cold.

But it's so much different

when you don't have, like, a sanctuary,

a place to retreat to when it's really cold

and you're just out in the elements.

Trying to scale a fish when the fish is freezing

and trying to manage your hands...

Just makes things really difficult.

Yes, we got roe.

Oh, hard on the hands.

Hard on the hands.

She's done.

I just got to get back and warm up.

You know, I was thinking about this before.

Out of a 24-hour period,

I spend about 16 hours of that

lying down in my sleeping bag, pretty much warm.

So that leaves 8 hours I'm vertical.

My moving around is getting water,

getting firewood at the point, putting food in my pot.

I'm eating three full pots a day,

along with the liquid,

so I'm hydrated as well.

Yet at the end of the day...

I'm exhausted.

Now, I'm not a doctor...

But that doesn't add up.

Pay attention to that, because that can become...

A big red flag.

And, like, if you collapse out here,

particularly when it's cold--

even when it's not super cold-- if you collapse out here...

It can be fatal.

Hello, everybody.

We will have an interview with Mr. Moose.

So let's see how this guy is doing here.

Hello, Mr. Moose.

How are you dealing with all this cold up here?

Oh, come on, it's just the beginning of December.

Wait for January.

"January"?

Oh, yeah, then it's cold.

For me, it's totally fine.

This is why I have the fur, you know, to protect me

from all this cold weather.

Okay.

Thank you, Mr. Moose.

Stupid moose.

With this long night,

I think I entered the third phase of survival.

Look at this guy.

This bird is just, like, a few centimetres

from my finger...

feeding on my fat.

I think you had enough, buddy.

Okay, guys, I will just do everything

that is needed outside and go back to the shelter.

Just survive...

a couple of more days

or weeks, hopefully.

Damn.

After day 40 and snow and ice, things calmed down a bit,

but still there was a lot of things to do.

But now the third phase of survival

is pretty much staying alive...

especially with this frostnip.

And, also, I have a lot of time to think,

and I'm thinking a lot about my life,

about who I am, and what is important for me.

And I think that this phase

is actually the most important one

for my personal growth.

So this is a dog.

I mean, it won't look like this one.

This is the first one

that I tried to make.

Um...

It's more like prototype.

And now I know how to make it,

and, of course, I'll just make another one.

So...

it's going to be for my son.

I'm glad I entered this third phase relatively late,

because otherwise I would get insane.

I was thinking, oh, I don't want to be a guy like that,

you know, staying in the shelter, but...

pretty much almost everybody did it in the end.

I know that this guy in Patagonia,

he was carving a lot in the shelter.

Sam and Juan Pablo--they were pretty much in the shelter

as much as possible.

That's a bit more easy to start now.

It's really hard keeping my mind occupied.

If I stop now, I can go back, have my job,

and be back with my family.

If I decide not to stop no matter what,

this can easily go

over day 120 and more.

Normally, these things last around 80 days,

but maybe there is another guy who says,

no matter what, I'm not giving up.

If I tap out now, I would be still proud of myself.

If I continue, I would be missing Bor

for a very long time and missing important milestones.

So, yeah, I'm risking a lot.

Okay.

A bit better version.

Won't be perfect, but...

it might look a bit more like a dog

than the previous one...

Hopefully.

Okay, I'm ready to go to sleep now.

I've had quite bad dreams

getting out of this competition

because of this toe numbness.

Can be frostbite or frostnip.

But still, because of the numbness,

I believe it's frostnip.

Damn it.

The problem is that these things usually just get worse.

So I have to be extremely careful what I'm doing.

Otherwise, I am [bleep].

What's up, guys?

It's amazing how soft we get

because of, like, our accessibility

to food and stuff.

When you don't have it, man, you want it,

and you'll eat every--

I'm eating ribs, back, bone...

eating the whole bunny now.

I need the nutrients, man. I need to win this.

If you would gave me this 90 days ago and said drink up,

I'd have told you to go eff yourself.

Damn, man.

My hands--

there's a cut or burn on each and every finger.

I've put my body on the line.

I've ran this meat wagon damn near to the ground.

I've only eaten bunnies for about 50 days.

And we're ready to pack it in, but...

only for the win, man.

Throw the jacket on,

get in my sleeping bag, warm up.

I think I'm hard on myself when I don't win.

And in a game like this with such high stakes,

the pressure I put on myself might have affected me

in the early days big-time.

Oh, [bleep].

This morning my zipper broke on my sleeping bag,

and my boot fell off the...

off the woodpile

into my water dish-- my boot liner.

So it is...

a block of ice.

Out here in the darkness,

I can't escape from my mind.

The rushing with the shelter--

I didn't step back and look at the design.

With the moose, I might have rushed the shot.

There's so many things I could have done

to give myself a better chance.

Oh, man, my feet are numb.

But we're going to battle.

I believe David Booth is left,

and he said he only wants to make it till 84.

So if he makes it to 84 and I make it to 85,

I'm the winner.

Oh, I hope he quits.

I'm in trouble.

My zipper broke on my sleeping bag.

Like, I'm screwed.

I might not--

I need that boot to...

dry out so I can even cut firewood.

Everything's breaking.

We're trying not to break, though, but...

she's getting hard.

Can't complain about it.

Nobody's here to complain to.

And it's like, I'm not out,

so it's not like I'm, like, crying because I'm done.

But it's like, come on, why are you fighting me?

You're so close.

Like, I can see the finish line, man.

And then everything starts collapsing.

It's like, I got food.

I got water. I got a shelter.

I just need my equipment to hold up.

I'll do the work.

What I did to deserve this?

Why are you testing me so hard?

Oh, damn.

I'm going to [bleep] show you, though.

I didn't do all this for so long

to go home without a win.

Like, people will say, oh, it's not that big of a deal.

It's just a TV show.

You know, it's just 500 grand.

It's not like-- Who cares? Life goes on.

It's like, yeah, for you.

This is--I want this.

This is a goal of mine.

This is something I want to achieve.

It's what I do.

I create the problem,

and then I somehow usually try to fix it.

To 12 weeks.

Cheers, everyone.

And cheers, whoever's still out here.

Solid effort.

Ahh.

Good work.

Hope you guys are having fun...

and enjoying it...

soaking it in.

Not long now.

Definitely closing stages.

Could be, yeah...

final episode.

Hope you've enjoyed this season

of "Alone" U.S.,

season 13, Arctic World Championships.

It's been quite a show.

I'm thinking it might be nice

to actually go for a walk on Lake Learning.

Might be a good way to celebrate 12 weeks, I think.

It's been a really long time out here,

and I was hopeful that the person I was at the start

compared to who I would grow into at the end of this

would be something that would continue

through the rest of my life.

This lake is so special.

I want to go out and greet her and walk on her surface

and just...

take it all in.

Now that I've been out here,

I'll be forever changed for the better

because of this experience.

I've received exactly what I want and more.

Magical.

Through my whole entire journey,

it's never crossed my mind to tap out.

But just the everyday effort of getting up,

walking around, eating, getting water--

I'm doing very minimal physical work,

and I'm eating quite a lot, yet I'm absolutely exhausted.

I don't need more fish.

I don't need more snowshoe hare.

I need other things that I can't get out here,

and my body is starting to give me the signs that,

hey, Nero, you're still in a safe area,

but you're coming to the end.

Oof, another cold start...

to the day.

Yeah, I can still be safe within this area, this zone,

but that zone's slowly been shrinking over time.

Now that I'm really close to the end,

I know that there's a possibility

that I could win this.

Also there's a possibility that I could just be

up against someone who's just--

they got, like, 120 days set in mind,

and they're not going anywhere.

I don't want to redline physically.

I don't want to push past the limit where...

Something breaks...

whether that's physically, mentally, or emotionally.

I'm not going to go that far.

It's really important

that I leave on my own terms.

Hmm.

What's kept me here for a long time now

has been to be able to share

my learnings from this experience

to my son.

And I've done that.

I've shared it all...

All right.

In a beautiful, wholesome, complete way.

And, yeah, absolutely.

I'd love for my wife to come to the Arctic.

But I also know, like, she just wants me to be okay,

to follow my intuition...

Gillnet era done.

And me being here

doesn't serve anyone anymore

other than a title and winning.

I just--I'm ready to see my family.

Life is a communal thing, and...

Yeah, it's meant to be spent...

With each other.

So happy with the whole entire journey.

Honestly, I wouldn't change any of it.

When you know, you know.

Hey, this is Nero.

I'm officially tapping out.

It is day 85,

and it's the first day

of the next chapter of my life.

I'm ready.

Hey, hey.

Big thing for me being out here has been...

being guided by fulfilment rather than achievement.

And...

I've received so much from this land,

so much love, guidance, and healing.

The only thing left is a title and money,

and I'm not motivated by either of them.

I've still got some more food there,

but I could just tell with my body,

my mind, my emotions,

like, I was starting to get towards the limit.

I didn't want to hit that limit.

I wanted to be able to end things positively,

not leaving this place...

broken or weak.

I wanted to end it on my own terms and end it right.

I've been as raw...

and as open as I can,

and I've given everything,

and it's time to take all of the amazing lessons

and experience that I've had from this place

and combine it with the beautiful life

that I have waiting for me back home.

And...

it's time to go, my friend, time to go.

I feel like this is the right way

to conclude my journey.

It's been the perfect experience.

And, man, I can't wait to see my family,

make sure they're okay,

and share with them all the incredible things

that have happened out here

and then just create more amazing memories

and moments together.

I wanted to come out here and work internally

to become a better father for my son.

And for me to do that,

I really needed to reconcile my relationship with my dad,

because that's what's connecting

the lack of self-love, the lack of self-worth.

Now I've come to a place

where I have that internal self-worth

and value and love.

It's something that I could only have discovered

by being out here.

For Lucky, for my boy, it's not about him seeing

these hard survival bushcraft skills

and thinking him to maybe get inspired by that.

It's about him seeing his dad walk the path

of loving and being themselves

that is really important to me.

I'm really proud to represent my country up here.

After so many years of my whole entire life

of just trying to find who I am as a person,

to now have that just lock into place,

I have my identity.

I know who I am.

I am and always will be, moving forward,

an outdoor advocate.

And everything I do, say, and feel

will be with that as my guiding light.

I have very cold feet.

I want to do something about my boots.

My front part-- I mean, toes are still exposed.

So I'm not sure

there's any good way...

I mean, with what I could protect them,

but I was thinking about this.

Yeah, really going to become like a caveman.

But if it's going to help...

I would be glad to have it on my boots.

I'm not sure if this frostnip goes away

that easily and that quick.

I'm afraid not.

I mean, it's really not much of it,

but it's my big toe.

Of course, I would like to keep it as it is.

The fitting-- it's, like, perfect.

Look at this.

So I have to be careful

and keep it warm.

But...

that's not always easy.

Okay, insulation is done,

and I think this will help a lot.

Okay, I have to get water.

This is actually one of the toughest competitions

in the world,

considering how many days it takes,

how much of your knowledge it requires...

How many mental battles you have to face.

I'm glad I'm here, but on the other hand,

I just can't wait for it to be finished.

It is a hardcore thing.

You're [bleep] kidding me.

Broken shovel.

It's quite a big thing in this environment.

This hinders my game a lot.

I cannot do any ice fishing anymore.

I cannot get water for drinking,

so I will have to melt snow.

This is a very bad situation.

That's all.

I have to keep on going.

Holy [bleep], I think we got a zipper, guys.

Man, when that zipper broke, I was in tears.

It's like, why?

I'm so close. Why are you doing this to me?

Let me see if I can try to show you.

Yes.

So this is a two-zipper system.

This zipper was down here and just held those together,

and then the other one that broke would zip up.

Well, I've cut the top, took the bottom zipper off,

flipped it now so that it just zips.

But I have to tie this together,

because this will just separate now.

Now, how do we tie that together?

Hmm.

I'd like to use the inside of paracord

so I can tie knots.

Fishhook for my needle

or if I can use snare wire would be--

Snare wire is thinner, right?

Here's a little piece here.

I expected some ups and downs,

but I didn't expect it to go this long,

and I didn't expect us to be this deep

into the weather

and get this cold and dark this quick.

Here's my thread and needle.

You will not defeat us, and I will not defeat me.

I'm a seamstress now.

I'm so close to the end.

I need to just keep pushing my body,

and it's going to end any day.

If I quit, I would be failing

the promises I made to my family--

my dad, my brothers, my friend Travis,

but, most importantly, myself.

Oh, if this works, I'll be the man.

I've tapped in mixed martial arts fights before.

Like, that's quitting.

That's going to be hard.

I wonder if I should pull it down,

do a bunch, pull it through, then tighten it.

I believe quitting is a habit.

There's lots of things I've quit

and failed in my life,

and I had some regrets.

If you continue to do it, you'll do it more easily.

So I'm going to keep pushing my body

until they either pull me or I win.

So...

right down here it's, like, a really hard plastic.

So I used a fishhook, punched the holes through.

Before I had the needle just in there and then pinched,

and it was getting caught on threads,

so this actually works better.

Ah, you [bleep], I knew that was going to happen.

Oh, it's good enough for now. I'm gonna warm up.

Good days here are over.

I'm so far away...

from the place I belong to...

And from the people I belong to.

It is really getting hard, really hard.

I should keep on pushing.

So let's keep on pushing.

Somebody's obviously got a big-game animal.

Somebody's done better than me,

because nobody possibly pushed as hard as I can

without the food.

Can you imagine staying so long, risking so much,

and go home empty-handed?

Who knows what the reality will be?

I guess none of us is going home for Christmas.

I'm trying to fight the urge to quit,

but I've pushed my body, my mind,

my emotions to the absolute limit.

I want to win this. I'm trying to win this.

I'm doing what I can.

Losing...

that would be like, oh, [bleep].

What did I do with my life?

I feel like at any day, it can end,

but any day can end me, too.

So I need whoever's out here to quit.

In life, people often say, never give up.

But that's not necessarily true.

Sometimes you have to give up.

If I called it in, man, I would hate myself.

Sorry, guys.

My body's just broken.

My mind's shot, my mental, everything.

I'm frozen to the core.

My back's buggered up.

My feet hurt. My hands hurt.

My balance is shot.

I have a hard time walking.

I'm, like, falling over.

And I can't--

I can't get food if I can't walk.

Then last night I was so cold, I couldn't warm up.

And my mind and everything is just breaking.

Like, I've broke.

I've tried.

Like, I'm just like, next med check,

I just got to make it through this med check...

and it's just--it's bad.

Like, I can't even take the camera with me,

but it's just like, keep going.

Any day, any day.

And it's just like, finally I broke.

Oh, it's tough, man. It's a tough decision.

I'm going to regret it forever.

That's what drives me nuts.

It's different if you get pulled, like, medically pulled.

It's like, okay, I didn't quit.

I quit.

I bitched out.

And I literally just gave up on my dreams.

I pushed to the absolute limit,

and my body finally said, this is enough.

We're done.

And I didn't have a choice.

My mind wouldn't let me continue.

But I came out here and grew so much

as a person,

as an outdoorsman, as a trapper.

Might have went a little backwards in the hunting,

but I feel like I grew

a substantial amount out here.

87 days has given me a lot of time to reflect.

I feel I need to take my time with things,

especially decisions that hold a lot of weight,

like friendship with Travis,

the separation with Melissa.

I feel we need to slow down,

step back, take a look.

Everything else is a distraction.

Not going to go back to work right away.

I'm going to sit down with Melissa.

We'll figure out our stuff.

That's what we're going to focus on

with the same but better mental strength.

87 days has given me a fresh start.

I don't like losing,

but it might be the best thing that's ever happened to me.

This isn't my destiny.

There's something else waiting for me.

I'm ready to find out what that is.

I am alone, cold to the bone.

I'm eating moose meat and missing home.

My friends are small bird

and the fat coney.

You can talk to the camera if you feel lonely.

I'll stay in the shelter and do some pottery,

because catching a fish now, it's like winning the lottery.

For pain and to suffer...

hiding stupidity...

by saying I'm tougher.

Risking job, family, Christmas in solitude.

If you'll be second, you won't feel any gratitude.

Sad, huh?

But true.

It's getting hard here.

If I would know, like, it's 100, that's it.

That would be easy peasy.

But it can be tomorrow. It can be in February.

And, yeah, I know that today in the evening,

I will be very sad,

because I know that Miha won't be here,

and then I'll be like, [bleep].

How much longer?

One of the reasons I keep on pushing is,

I want to see Miha coming to this place

and see my location.

Until I die.

Hiding stupidity by saying, I'm tougher.

Yeah.

It's not that nice as it was before.

I have to be much more in the shelter,

but I'm still kind of living.

I'm not there where I have to struggle,

and I want to reach this point.

I have a media swap.

Let's put on everything I have.

Hey, guys.

GoPros? - Yes, GoPros.

Yes.

Okay.

I mean, I'm staying outside less because of this frostnip.

I didn't expect that the cold

will start to become a limiting factor for me,

but it's happening.

Mentally, it's getting more difficult, I must admit.

Pretty much staying alive.

And you do the most necessary stuff

and go back in the shelter.

Oh, man, that's for sure.

I really miss home.

I mean, I love this place,

but it would be nice to be back.

I don't know. He would say, like, go, Ziga.

I know you have it.

You have been preparing for this all your life,

because we spent all these years in forest learning--

He would say, like, go, Ziga.

I know you have it, because we spent

all these years in forest learning--

No [bleep] way!

No [bleep] way!

I cannot do it anymore!

You did it!

You won "Alone," season--

Oh, man, I heard this sound.

I said, no, that's only Miha.

I'm so ready to go home.

But I would also love to show you

how I lived here for so long.

You know, three days in the wild is like a week at home,

so you have stories for a year now.

Oh, man.

- You did it! - Oh, I just can't believe it.

Seeing Miha, it feels a bit like a dream.

It's impossible.

It's the end of the game. It feels amazing.

You said you're going to build a small shelter.

What is this, a house?

Let's start with the shelter, and then I can show you

place where I shot the moo--

Wow. - What?

- Now look at this there. - Where, where, where?

- Do you see that? - No way!

You did it!

Wow. - Let's have a look.

Dude.

This is the arrow?

Yeah, that was the arrow.

Tried it on day 17, but it took me 2 days to get it there--

2 days of drama.

Dude, you're amazing.

Well, go in.

Whoa. It gets bigger.

Yeah, it's dug in.

No way.

It's so warm.

Yeah, of course it's warm,

because look at this chimney.

You found good clay? Yeah.

I cannot believe it.

I'm very glad that I can show Miha

how I lived for 90 days.

It's like, you know, candies in a way.

It felt a bit like being a kid again,

doing crazy stuff and exploring.

And nice mountain view.

That's also important-- you know, to feel well.

You're not just surviving. You're living here, man.

You're living it.

Miha, without you,

I definitely wouldn't develop this passion

for survival and push that far.

This victory is also your victory.

Yes.

I'm so glad for you... for everything.

You feel taller. You're a bigger man now.

Oh, guys, you have to do a bow drill.

Yeah? Oh, yeah.

Amazing.

We were doing this together for so many years,

and he can really feel how I feel

and understand how it is to be out there.

I'm very happy to share this with my brother.

I'm very proud of what I did out here...

that I'm capable to go that far.

I have something in me

that people maybe did not expect.

Out there, being alone has definitely changed me.

I really missed my family.

At home, I was really aiming too much for my career.

Joy should be shared.

I definitely want to spend more time with them

and watch them and listen to them

and be happy with them.

It feels amazing

that I'm representing one very small country--

Slovenia.

No matter where you're coming from,

if you really live for something,

go for your passion,

and not be scared of doing things different

and keep on living it no matter what.

$500,000 gives my family freedom,

money independence, less stressful life.

Would definitely put part of it to our survival school

to increase the things we can share

with other people.

It feels very good to be the first scientist

to win "Alone."

I was able to test my skills, my knowledge

but, at the same time, also learn a lot.

Leaving this place, it's a bit bittersweet.

In these 90 days,

I found some kind of harmony with nature.

I really felt not so much like surviving

but rather like living out in nature.

Nature--there are infinitive possibilities

and new ways and techniques to discover,

and we should try to understand it,

try to respect it, and try to live with it.
