Viewer discretion is strongly advised.
5
00:00:09,476 --> 00:00:11,144
Have I ever said
something along the lines of,
6
00:00:11,146 --> 00:00:14,080
"it's going to be a long night?"
7
00:00:14,837 --> 00:00:17,304
'cause it's going to be
a long night again.
8
00:00:17,306 --> 00:00:18,803
Sitting in the mud.
9
00:00:18,803 --> 00:00:20,623
Hoping that
nothing is crawling on my back.
10
00:00:23,750 --> 00:00:24,493
What the --
11
00:00:27,618 --> 00:00:30,707
ONE MAN
12
00:00:30,795 --> 00:00:33,646
ALONE
13
00:00:33,670 --> 00:00:36,654
NO FOOD
14
00:00:36,716 --> 00:00:38,536
NO T.V. CREW

Season 5 Episode: Grenada Jungle
16
00:01:08,177 --> 00:01:09,665
Jungle survival.
17
00:01:09,668 --> 00:01:13,001
These are the cloud forestsof the island of grenada
18
00:01:13,004 --> 00:01:14,537
Where fire antsare your nemesis.
19
00:01:14,539 --> 00:01:17,739
Fresh water is abundantbut tainted by sulfur,
20
00:01:17,742 --> 00:01:21,944
And weatheris always unpredictable.
21
00:01:21,945 --> 00:01:23,846
My mission is to survive here
22
00:01:23,847 --> 00:01:26,816
In this incredibly diversemountain jungle terrain.
23
00:01:26,817 --> 00:01:29,218
The southern grenada islandsare situated
24
00:01:29,219 --> 00:01:31,828
Between the caribbean seaand the atlantic ocean,
25
00:01:32,024 --> 00:01:33,924
Northeast of venezuela.
26
00:01:33,926 --> 00:01:35,057
Shrouded in mist, the jungle
27
00:01:35,060 --> 00:01:38,462
Is veiled from the sunby thick blankets of cloud.
28
00:01:38,463 --> 00:01:39,228
It is possible to walk
29
00:01:39,230 --> 00:01:40,896
Out of these hillsand down to the coast,
30
00:01:40,899 --> 00:01:45,602
But I'm here to test myselfin this tropical island jungle.
31
00:01:45,603 --> 00:01:47,069
I'm in grenada.
32
00:01:47,072 --> 00:01:49,438
It's a small island country.
33
00:01:49,441 --> 00:01:51,341
It's a group of islands, really.
34
00:01:51,343 --> 00:01:53,075
But it's big on nature.
35
00:01:53,078 --> 00:01:56,912
It's got tropical,
desert-like islands,
36
00:01:56,914 --> 00:01:58,748
Beautiful palm trees,
37
00:01:58,751 --> 00:01:59,950
Sandy beaches,
38
00:01:59,951 --> 00:02:01,150
And it's got
a ridge of mountains
39
00:02:01,153 --> 00:02:03,153
Running right down
the center of the main island.
40
00:02:03,155 --> 00:02:06,423
And those mountains
are covered in cloud forest.
41
00:02:06,424 --> 00:02:10,627
And that's where
I've got to survive now
42
00:02:10,628 --> 00:02:12,596
Here in grenada.
43
00:02:12,598 --> 00:02:14,631
Welcome to the jungle.
44
00:02:15,365 --> 00:02:16,699
In jungles around the world,
45
00:02:16,701 --> 00:02:19,368
I've become used toa few things --
46
00:02:19,371 --> 00:02:20,437
Being hot, wet,
47
00:02:20,438 --> 00:02:22,338
Afflicted withrashes and fungus,
48
00:02:22,341 --> 00:02:25,876
Or constantly bitten,stung, or crawled on,
49
00:02:25,877 --> 00:02:29,278
Mostly by ants.
50
00:02:33,283 --> 00:02:34,151
Wow.
51
00:02:34,152 --> 00:02:38,254
Funny thing about
these buttresses
52
00:02:38,257 --> 00:02:40,623
On these trees
53
00:02:40,626 --> 00:02:42,324
Is they look so magical.
54
00:02:42,326 --> 00:02:44,527
They actually look inviting,
55
00:02:44,530 --> 00:02:48,397
But it's not a good place
for me to survive the night.
56
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,433
It's just horrible ground.
57
00:02:50,436 --> 00:02:51,033
Nothing is flat.
58
00:02:51,036 --> 00:02:53,969
And a lot of critters
like to go in here.
59
00:02:53,972 --> 00:02:54,638
Spiders, snakes.
60
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,341
Beautiful tree,
but not a good place to survive.
61
00:02:58,343 --> 00:03:00,743
I'm looking for flat ground.
62
00:03:01,413 --> 00:03:04,213
There's always sounds
in the jungle.
63
00:03:04,216 --> 00:03:05,481
Always sounds.
64
00:03:05,484 --> 00:03:08,617
When you're not
familiar with them,
65
00:03:08,620 --> 00:03:11,288
They're kind of freaky.
66
00:03:14,491 --> 00:03:17,526
Looks like we got
a little clearing here.
67
00:03:22,067 --> 00:03:24,134
This will have to do.
68
00:03:24,135 --> 00:03:25,468
Rock in the way,
69
00:03:25,471 --> 00:03:28,704
But a little body-sized area
here that's flat.
70
00:03:28,706 --> 00:03:31,441
Really got to watch
for toktok ants.
71
00:03:31,443 --> 00:03:34,644
They just crawl on the ground
72
00:03:34,646 --> 00:03:36,312
Or on the trees.
73
00:03:36,314 --> 00:03:39,216
Well, one thing is for sure --
you know it when you find one.
74
00:03:39,218 --> 00:03:43,219
Okay, I'm going to have to get
used to sitting without sitting
75
00:03:43,221 --> 00:03:46,789
Because the ground is always
crawling with something.
76
00:03:46,792 --> 00:03:49,658
Ecosystems are living,breathing entities
77
00:03:49,661 --> 00:03:50,560
Unto themselves,
78
00:03:50,562 --> 00:03:52,528
But junglesexemplify this concept
79
00:03:52,531 --> 00:03:55,932
And exist as the most richand obvious example
80
00:03:55,933 --> 00:03:57,901
Of a land alive and moving.
81
00:03:57,902 --> 00:03:59,668
With the sun going down,
I'm not going to
82
00:03:59,670 --> 00:04:01,837
Take a lot of time
to go through all my pack.
83
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,573
I'm going to do that
in the morning.
84
00:04:03,574 --> 00:04:06,175
This time, got this guy here.
85
00:04:06,177 --> 00:04:08,144
Simple, orange garbage bag,
86
00:04:08,146 --> 00:04:10,180
Because this is a cloud forest
87
00:04:10,181 --> 00:04:13,015
And clouds mean rain.
88
00:04:15,204 --> 00:04:17,172
Going to need more than this.
89
00:04:17,173 --> 00:04:19,273
That's for certain.
90
00:04:19,274 --> 00:04:20,658
Got a machete.
91
00:04:20,658 --> 00:04:24,093
Each type of landscaperequires its own version
92
00:04:24,095 --> 00:04:26,295
Of a cutting toolthat works well.
93
00:04:26,298 --> 00:04:30,934
And in the jungle, it'salways going to be a machete.
94
00:04:31,427 --> 00:04:32,694
Uh-oh.
95
00:04:34,805 --> 00:04:38,441
Oh, here comes the rain already.
96
00:04:38,442 --> 00:04:39,704
That's not fair.
97
00:04:39,704 --> 00:04:42,172
I'm not ready.
98
00:04:42,213 --> 00:04:44,882
Oh, boy. I can hear it.
99
00:04:44,884 --> 00:04:47,683
I do not want to
spend the night wet.
100
00:04:50,822 --> 00:04:53,557
Not much of a shelter,
but it'll have to do.
101
00:04:53,558 --> 00:04:55,625
Yeah, here comes some rain.
102
00:04:55,627 --> 00:04:56,726
Got to cover up the camera.
103
00:04:56,728 --> 00:04:59,196
It can really
pelt down here, so --
104
00:04:59,197 --> 00:05:02,192
And, of course,
I got a rip in this.
105
00:05:02,192 --> 00:05:03,692
Shoot.
106
00:05:03,694 --> 00:05:05,067
That's not good.
107
00:05:05,069 --> 00:05:10,238
This...Is a survival bracelet
of sorts.
108
00:05:10,242 --> 00:05:13,076
Now, I've brought this out
109
00:05:13,077 --> 00:05:14,276
Basically to test it out.
110
00:05:14,278 --> 00:05:16,879
Rain is coming in
and I need rope.
111
00:05:16,882 --> 00:05:19,581
Now, how I do undo this?
112
00:05:22,019 --> 00:05:24,254
So, this one, actually, the rope
113
00:05:24,255 --> 00:05:27,423
Is wrapped around
a little, miniature
114
00:05:27,425 --> 00:05:30,793
Tinfoil-wrapped
survival kit inside.
115
00:05:33,463 --> 00:05:35,497
Welcome to
the world of filmmaking.
116
00:05:35,500 --> 00:05:37,567
Just hold off, rain. Hold off.
117
00:05:37,569 --> 00:05:40,069
I see a lot of people
wearing these bracelets now.
118
00:05:40,072 --> 00:05:42,471
I'm a big fan
of any survival item
119
00:05:42,473 --> 00:05:43,639
That you can wear on your body,
120
00:05:43,641 --> 00:05:46,242
Carry with you easily
and not have to put in a pack.
121
00:05:46,244 --> 00:05:50,319
But you've got to learn
how to take them apart.
122
00:05:50,321 --> 00:05:53,122
With rain threatening...
123
00:05:53,122 --> 00:05:54,456
I cut it
124
00:05:54,819 --> 00:05:56,752
So I could get it apart faster.
125
00:05:56,754 --> 00:05:58,721
I hopefully didn't
do something stupid.
126
00:05:58,723 --> 00:06:02,692
It's often thought that thereare black-and-white answers
127
00:06:02,694 --> 00:06:05,379
To what someone must doin a survival situation,
128
00:06:05,379 --> 00:06:07,413
But there never is.
129
00:06:07,415 --> 00:06:09,112
It'll always be an ordeal
130
00:06:09,113 --> 00:06:11,067
Fraught withvariables and circumstances
131
00:06:11,069 --> 00:06:13,636
That'll dictatewhat my next move is.
132
00:06:13,637 --> 00:06:16,338
It's equal parts preparation,proactivity,
133
00:06:16,341 --> 00:06:19,776
And reactingto whatever I have to face.
134
00:06:19,778 --> 00:06:22,911
This is the little survival kit
that comes with it.
135
00:06:22,913 --> 00:06:25,581
Put you away till a later date.
136
00:06:25,584 --> 00:06:28,283
And all I really lost
was a piece this big,
137
00:06:28,286 --> 00:06:32,055
So, obviously,
I cut it in the right spot
138
00:06:32,057 --> 00:06:35,091
To get this rope.
139
00:06:37,060 --> 00:06:38,261
This little guy will do,
140
00:06:38,262 --> 00:06:39,795
But even a pebble will work.
141
00:06:39,798 --> 00:06:41,932
Take it. Put it in.
142
00:06:41,933 --> 00:06:44,701
Wrap the plastic around it.
143
00:06:44,702 --> 00:06:47,536
like this. Like this.
144
00:06:47,538 --> 00:06:49,773
Okay.
145
00:06:49,774 --> 00:06:52,209
put that through.
146
00:06:52,211 --> 00:06:54,411
I better start hurrying
and stop teaching
147
00:06:54,413 --> 00:06:56,045
'cause here comes the rain,
I think.
148
00:06:56,048 --> 00:06:59,783
Oh, you know what?
It's actually pouring out there.
149
00:06:59,784 --> 00:07:02,119
Oh, you son of a
150
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,622
Jungle rain rarelyannounces itself as coming.
151
00:07:05,624 --> 00:07:08,358
They just happenevery single day.
152
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:09,725
I'm in it now.
153
00:07:09,728 --> 00:07:11,927
I'm in the jungle.
154
00:07:12,629 --> 00:07:15,464
I just hope I can survive
without getting
155
00:07:15,466 --> 00:07:16,733
Too soaking wet.
156
00:07:16,735 --> 00:07:19,036
Rain combined with heatbrings the potential
157
00:07:19,038 --> 00:07:21,838
For rashesand fungus infections.
158
00:07:21,839 --> 00:07:22,773
Jungle rains.
159
00:07:22,774 --> 00:07:26,942
I have a feeling that this is
the way the week is going to go.
160
00:07:26,944 --> 00:07:30,346
Rain, lack of sleep,insect bites, injuries --
161
00:07:30,348 --> 00:07:33,617
I have to constantlypay attention to the odds
162
00:07:33,619 --> 00:07:34,617
Stacking up against me.
163
00:07:34,620 --> 00:07:37,353
well, it stopped raining,
164
00:07:37,355 --> 00:07:40,257
But there's no way
I'm going to be able to sleep
165
00:07:40,259 --> 00:07:43,994
In this cacophony tonight.
166
00:07:46,663 --> 00:07:49,399
And no-see-ums
are out and biting.
167
00:07:49,401 --> 00:07:51,600
Little, tiny biting flies.
168
00:07:51,603 --> 00:07:53,002
Lots of them.
169
00:07:53,004 --> 00:07:55,305
I'm just going to
wait this night out
170
00:07:55,307 --> 00:07:58,641
And try to find myself a good
rock to curl up on tomorrow,
171
00:07:58,644 --> 00:08:01,978
Middle of the day in the shade.
172
00:08:03,182 --> 00:08:05,348
The thing about survival,
you always end up
173
00:08:05,350 --> 00:08:07,709
Needing to sleep
in the middle of the day
174
00:08:07,711 --> 00:08:10,855
Because you don't really
sleep through the nights.
175
00:08:10,855 --> 00:08:14,990
Come tomorrow night,
I better have a better shelter.
176
00:08:18,495 --> 00:08:21,031
It's rare that anyonedoes the right thing
177
00:08:21,031 --> 00:08:23,266
On the first nightof a survival ordeal.
178
00:08:23,268 --> 00:08:25,535
Shelters aren't considereduntil it's too late.
179
00:08:25,536 --> 00:08:28,370
Fire is forgotten untilit's too dark to find wood
180
00:08:28,372 --> 00:08:32,107
And, inevitably, the sceneis set for what comes next --
181
00:08:32,110 --> 00:08:33,743
Surviving with little sleep,
182
00:08:33,745 --> 00:08:38,847
Which compromises my abilityto make good decisions.
183
00:08:40,884 --> 00:08:43,452
It rained
pretty much all night long.
184
00:08:43,455 --> 00:08:46,355
It was off and on, but when
it came down, it bucketed down.
185
00:08:46,357 --> 00:08:49,292
It gave me a few minutes
in between each time.
186
00:08:49,293 --> 00:08:52,582
I huddled in underneath here,
just stayed in real close
187
00:08:52,584 --> 00:08:54,543
And I managed to stay dry
just barely.
188
00:08:54,544 --> 00:08:56,552
And the major bonus was that
189
00:08:56,552 --> 00:08:59,084
All night long,
it filled up with rainwater.
190
00:08:59,104 --> 00:09:01,804
I just kept guzzling.
191
00:09:01,807 --> 00:09:04,142
Mm.
192
00:09:04,143 --> 00:09:06,009
That one had a bug in it.
193
00:09:06,010 --> 00:09:06,610
Yech.
194
00:09:06,611 --> 00:09:09,779
I've got a few items
with me here -- not much.
195
00:09:09,782 --> 00:09:12,215
Backpack
to carry my camera gear.
196
00:09:12,216 --> 00:09:13,250
I've got rain gear,
197
00:09:13,251 --> 00:09:15,018
A change of socks,
and one t-shirt.
198
00:09:15,019 --> 00:09:16,919
I've got my machete
and a way to sharpen it.
199
00:09:16,922 --> 00:09:19,722
I've got a file with it.
Super important.
200
00:09:19,725 --> 00:09:20,923
A metal cup.
201
00:09:22,594 --> 00:09:23,393
My harmonica.
202
00:09:23,394 --> 00:09:26,264
And I had a bottle of water
last night,
203
00:09:26,264 --> 00:09:27,529
But it's empty now.
204
00:09:27,532 --> 00:09:29,532
If there's some more clean water
here without bugs in it,
205
00:09:29,533 --> 00:09:31,900
I'll fill it up and
take some more water with me.
206
00:09:31,903 --> 00:09:33,855
I've got to
go deeper into the jungle.
207
00:09:33,855 --> 00:09:37,227
And here,
going deeper means going up.
208
00:09:40,638 --> 00:09:41,871
Oh, that's good.
209
00:09:41,873 --> 00:09:45,334
And going up, there's not likely
to be much water.
210
00:09:54,259 --> 00:09:55,913
On a small jungle island,
211
00:09:55,914 --> 00:09:58,693
I've chosen to stay deepin the mountainous interior
212
00:09:58,696 --> 00:10:01,697
To survive whatever grenadahas in store for me,
213
00:10:01,698 --> 00:10:03,633
But trekkingthrough terrain like this
214
00:10:03,634 --> 00:10:07,149
Is always tough goingand full of surprises --
215
00:10:07,149 --> 00:10:09,500
Most of them painful.
216
00:10:11,375 --> 00:10:14,244
That's where I'm headed.
217
00:10:14,245 --> 00:10:15,778
Up there.
218
00:10:16,022 --> 00:10:18,388
There are little, tiny --
they call them tracks --
219
00:10:18,389 --> 00:10:22,278
Little, tiny trails riddled
throughout these jungles.
220
00:10:22,287 --> 00:10:24,520
But it's tough to stay on them.
221
00:10:24,523 --> 00:10:29,325
They're small
and not very noticeable.
222
00:10:30,321 --> 00:10:31,663
Away we go.
223
00:10:31,937 --> 00:10:33,318
Straight up.
224
00:10:43,105 --> 00:10:45,606
It's so steep, I'm going to
have to use handholds to get up,
225
00:10:45,677 --> 00:10:50,846
And I don't have a hand to hold
226
00:10:50,847 --> 00:10:54,350
Because one's got the camera.
227
00:10:54,351 --> 00:10:57,052
The other one's got the machete.
228
00:10:57,054 --> 00:10:59,556
Just a morning jaunt.
229
00:11:01,025 --> 00:11:02,792
A little stroll in the park.
230
00:11:02,793 --> 00:11:05,727
Snap an ankle here,
231
00:11:05,730 --> 00:11:07,864
That's the end of it.
232
00:11:07,865 --> 00:11:10,833
Nobody is coming to get me.
233
00:11:10,836 --> 00:11:14,203
No one
will know where to find me.
234
00:11:17,875 --> 00:11:23,645
Always scanning around,
just to see what edibles...
235
00:11:24,914 --> 00:11:25,981
I even see a breadfruit tree.
236
00:11:25,984 --> 00:11:27,683
Don't see any fruit on it,
though.
237
00:11:27,684 --> 00:11:29,385
That's been the trick,
too, of this.
238
00:11:29,386 --> 00:11:32,489
So much, "oh, you're gonna be
able to pick this, pick that."
239
00:11:32,490 --> 00:11:33,690
You get told that
all the time.
240
00:11:33,691 --> 00:11:34,899
Now the breadfruit's
right there,
241
00:11:34,900 --> 00:11:37,274
But it's not in season.
242
00:11:42,566 --> 00:11:44,834
I saw a clearing
when I looked up.
243
00:11:44,836 --> 00:11:48,104
I was hoping the trail would
go over on to this clearing.
244
00:11:48,105 --> 00:11:51,039
It's not. It's just going
deeper into the jungle.
245
00:11:51,543 --> 00:11:53,976
It's so importantnot to fall into the trap
246
00:11:53,977 --> 00:11:56,611
Of only travelingthe path of least resistance.
247
00:11:56,614 --> 00:11:58,913
It can lead youstraight into a nightmare.
248
00:11:58,915 --> 00:12:01,783
I'm going to
mark my own trail as I go.
249
00:12:01,785 --> 00:12:03,952
Make sure I can get back
if I have to.
250
00:12:03,955 --> 00:12:07,255
It's really important
when you blaze a tree
251
00:12:07,258 --> 00:12:09,831
That you do give it
252
00:12:09,832 --> 00:12:12,595
A good-size blaze.
253
00:12:12,596 --> 00:12:16,432
You want it up at eye level,
too, not down too low.
254
00:12:16,433 --> 00:12:19,802
You got to blaze it
on both sides because
255
00:12:19,803 --> 00:12:22,138
When you're coming back,
you want to be able to see this.
256
00:12:22,139 --> 00:12:25,607
If you blaze it as you walk
always on the side you see,
257
00:12:25,610 --> 00:12:27,210
That's not going to help you.
258
00:12:27,211 --> 00:12:29,946
That's only
showing where you went.
259
00:12:29,947 --> 00:12:31,813
Not where you got to
get back to.
260
00:12:31,816 --> 00:12:34,750
My challengeis to survive in this jungle.
261
00:12:34,753 --> 00:12:38,187
My way of survivalis always a proactive style.
262
00:12:38,188 --> 00:12:41,389
Keep moving cautiouslyand slowly.
263
00:12:41,392 --> 00:12:42,457
See what I can find.
264
00:12:42,460 --> 00:12:44,659
Always searching outthe advantages
265
00:12:44,662 --> 00:12:47,000
And waysto make survival easier.
266
00:12:48,020 --> 00:12:50,586
All right.
Try to pick out the trail.
267
00:12:53,803 --> 00:12:56,404
Not so easy, is it?
268
00:12:57,540 --> 00:13:00,243
Oh, yeah. These guys.
269
00:13:00,245 --> 00:13:02,611
See these guys?
270
00:13:02,614 --> 00:13:06,316
Nothing more than
a harmless millipede, right?
271
00:13:06,317 --> 00:13:07,417
Wrong.
272
00:13:07,418 --> 00:13:10,620
These little suckers bite.
273
00:13:11,956 --> 00:13:13,389
Ah!
274
00:13:13,392 --> 00:13:14,524
Get off of me.
275
00:13:14,525 --> 00:13:17,693
The trails hereare old and unreliable,
276
00:13:17,696 --> 00:13:21,230
Barely cut out of a junglethat grows constantly,
277
00:13:21,232 --> 00:13:22,365
Filling in the path you make
278
00:13:22,366 --> 00:13:25,735
And covering over the marksleft behind by machetes.
279
00:13:25,736 --> 00:13:27,504
I think I'm lost.
280
00:13:27,505 --> 00:13:29,873
This trail
just goes straight down --
281
00:13:29,875 --> 00:13:32,642
Straight down to a river there.
282
00:13:32,644 --> 00:13:35,110
And it's
a tiny, tiny little trail.
283
00:13:35,113 --> 00:13:37,780
I thought I saw another offshoot
way back there.
284
00:13:37,783 --> 00:13:41,985
I'm going to backtrack
because I don't like where I am.
285
00:13:41,986 --> 00:13:44,421
And I don't trust this.
286
00:13:47,091 --> 00:13:49,359
Only way to
take a steep trail down.
287
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:53,062
Is go sideways.
288
00:13:58,068 --> 00:14:00,202
I hate feeling lost.
289
00:14:00,205 --> 00:14:02,504
If I have a nemesisin survival,
290
00:14:02,506 --> 00:14:04,407
It's my ownsense of cockiness.
291
00:14:04,408 --> 00:14:07,610
It almost alwaysleads me into dangerous places
292
00:14:07,611 --> 00:14:08,977
Without many good options.
293
00:14:08,980 --> 00:14:11,947
The emotions of frustrationand embarrassment
294
00:14:11,950 --> 00:14:13,115
Compound and conspire
295
00:14:13,118 --> 00:14:16,019
To undo many of the betterproactive choices
296
00:14:16,020 --> 00:14:17,653
I've made up until that point.
297
00:14:17,655 --> 00:14:21,057
My experience tells me I shouldalways know where I'm going
298
00:14:21,058 --> 00:14:24,197
But the junglechallenges that constantly.
299
00:14:29,166 --> 00:14:31,167
I'm lost again.
300
00:14:31,168 --> 00:14:32,469
Trail's going down again.
301
00:14:32,471 --> 00:14:34,136
That's not a good sign.
302
00:14:34,139 --> 00:14:37,173
I take that back.
The trail's disappearing again.
303
00:14:37,174 --> 00:14:39,274
And that's a worse sign.
304
00:14:46,518 --> 00:14:50,086
I'm locked in tight here.
305
00:14:50,087 --> 00:14:51,587
It can't be said enough.
306
00:14:51,590 --> 00:14:56,426
The wrong injury here
could spell disaster for me.
307
00:14:56,427 --> 00:14:59,500
Just can't let an injury happen.
308
00:15:06,971 --> 00:15:09,732
2 Days of Survival
Grenada
309
00:15:09,734 --> 00:15:12,207
Trekking and evencrawling my way through
310
00:15:12,208 --> 00:15:14,475
The jungleon the island of grenada,
311
00:15:14,479 --> 00:15:16,711
The need for waterstarts to become a priority
312
00:15:16,713 --> 00:15:19,182
For my exhaustedand dehydrated body.
313
00:15:19,183 --> 00:15:21,183
Mmm.
Now, this is fresh rainwater.
314
00:15:21,186 --> 00:15:24,153
That's what this is.
It's not a stream at all.
315
00:15:24,154 --> 00:15:25,788
mmm.
316
00:15:25,789 --> 00:15:29,509
There's enough here
I can get rehydrated again.
317
00:15:29,510 --> 00:15:30,626
Perfect.
318
00:15:33,027 --> 00:15:34,594
All right, well,
319
00:15:35,533 --> 00:15:36,932
That's enough climbing
for one day.
320
00:15:36,933 --> 00:15:38,102
I'm going to make
that my destination.
321
00:15:38,104 --> 00:15:40,304
See what's up there.
322
00:15:40,306 --> 00:15:42,495
There's water here.
323
00:15:42,495 --> 00:15:46,096
If there's food up there,
I might have a --
324
00:15:46,096 --> 00:15:47,924
I might have a spot.
325
00:15:49,479 --> 00:15:52,380
All I really want to dois get to higher elevations,
326
00:15:52,383 --> 00:15:55,750
Where hopefully there will bea change of ecosystem
327
00:15:55,753 --> 00:15:59,034
And I might find more plants,trees, and fruit
328
00:15:59,036 --> 00:16:01,051
That are edible.
329
00:16:06,395 --> 00:16:08,163
Oh! Ow!
330
00:16:10,299 --> 00:16:12,701
I can't get footing
anywhere on this.
331
00:16:12,702 --> 00:16:14,020
It's all slippery.
332
00:16:14,022 --> 00:16:15,794
Plan b.
333
00:16:20,443 --> 00:16:22,445
That wasn't plan b.
334
00:16:30,352 --> 00:16:32,822
Oh
335
00:16:32,823 --> 00:16:35,990
Those are called flama ants --
fire ants --
336
00:16:35,993 --> 00:16:37,692
And I just climbed up
over top of their nest,
337
00:16:37,695 --> 00:16:41,460
So hopefully
nothing's hitched a ride on me.
338
00:16:42,803 --> 00:16:44,899
Two hands or not, this is not --
339
00:16:44,902 --> 00:16:46,735
All of this is either
very slippery rock
340
00:16:46,736 --> 00:16:50,472
Or it's just compacted mud
and it just falls away.
341
00:16:51,067 --> 00:16:53,827
I'm saying
this route is a no-go.
342
00:16:56,873 --> 00:16:59,006
Between the fire ants
343
00:16:59,283 --> 00:17:01,616
And the steepness
and the slipperiness
344
00:17:01,619 --> 00:17:04,286
And this pack on my back.
345
00:17:05,556 --> 00:17:08,790
I'll try the other.
There's a ravine over there.
346
00:17:08,792 --> 00:17:10,125
I can't talk anymore.
347
00:17:10,127 --> 00:17:11,684
Look up it.
Go up it a little bit.
348
00:17:11,685 --> 00:17:13,247
If not...
349
00:17:14,766 --> 00:17:17,567
I'm going to have to head back.
350
00:17:17,568 --> 00:17:20,836
That's a long walk back.
351
00:17:25,142 --> 00:17:28,277
Well, I didn't quite
find what I was looking for.
352
00:17:28,278 --> 00:17:30,179
Long way to come
353
00:17:30,181 --> 00:17:33,375
To not find
what you're looking for.
354
00:17:33,375 --> 00:17:35,133
This --
355
00:17:35,653 --> 00:17:37,286
This is reward enough.
356
00:17:37,288 --> 00:17:39,970
Climbing has yielded menothing advantageous.
357
00:17:39,971 --> 00:17:41,657
Just more of the same jungle.
358
00:17:41,659 --> 00:17:43,925
If you look at this areafrom a plane or a map,
359
00:17:43,927 --> 00:17:46,459
You'd think you could justwalk out and down to the coast.
360
00:17:46,467 --> 00:17:48,217
But that viewpoint means nothing
361
00:17:48,218 --> 00:17:49,507
when you're on the ground.
362
00:17:49,508 --> 00:17:51,567
I'm going to show something here
363
00:17:51,568 --> 00:17:53,469
That might seem a little benign,
364
00:17:53,471 --> 00:17:56,971
But in the world
of woodsmanship and survival,
365
00:17:56,973 --> 00:18:00,108
It's a skill
that I value highly.
366
00:18:00,111 --> 00:18:02,694
And that's the ability
to sharpen a blade.
367
00:18:02,695 --> 00:18:05,199
Dull blades cause more accidents
368
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,316
Than anything
out in the wilderness.
369
00:18:07,317 --> 00:18:09,528
You want your blade
to always be super-sharp.
370
00:18:09,528 --> 00:18:12,005
That way,
the effort to cut anything
371
00:18:12,006 --> 00:18:14,875
Is easy and not forced.
372
00:18:14,893 --> 00:18:16,759
Now, what's happening here
373
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,560
Is I'm only
going against the blade.
374
00:18:19,561 --> 00:18:22,030
You can see I'm not --
you don't do this.
375
00:18:22,032 --> 00:18:23,700
Never do that
when you're sharpening.
376
00:18:23,701 --> 00:18:26,970
So, it's always
in one direction.
377
00:18:26,971 --> 00:18:28,638
That's one thing.
378
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,840
Same angle. Keep going.
379
00:18:32,108 --> 00:18:35,510
What should end up happening
is on the underside,
380
00:18:35,767 --> 00:18:38,748
It should almost get,
like, a burr, an edge burr
381
00:18:38,749 --> 00:18:40,715
Because I'm not
sharpening that side at all.
382
00:18:40,717 --> 00:18:42,153
I'm just sharpening one side.
383
00:18:42,153 --> 00:18:45,888
The metal will curl over
and give me a burr.
384
00:18:51,159 --> 00:18:54,394
All right, so, I got my burr.
Oh, yeah. Absolutely.
385
00:18:54,432 --> 00:18:57,032
Now, at this point,
I'll go too far
386
00:18:57,067 --> 00:18:59,701
And I'll create a burr
on the other side.
387
00:18:59,703 --> 00:19:00,502
I actually like to do that.
388
00:19:00,503 --> 00:19:02,703
I like to go too far
and create the other burr
389
00:19:02,704 --> 00:19:04,773
And get myself
a really beautiful edge --
390
00:19:04,776 --> 00:19:06,008
An edge you can shave with.
391
00:19:06,009 --> 00:19:08,911
Now, you gently can feel
with your skin
392
00:19:08,913 --> 00:19:11,713
Or what I like to do
a lot of times is drop it
393
00:19:11,715 --> 00:19:13,816
And see if it
catches my fingernail.
394
00:19:13,817 --> 00:19:15,617
The sharpness of it --
just like that.
395
00:19:15,619 --> 00:19:16,853
Like, the weight of the machete
396
00:19:16,855 --> 00:19:19,020
Is right now on my fingernail
and catching.
397
00:19:19,022 --> 00:19:22,125
I like that because that means
that it's good and sharp.
398
00:19:22,126 --> 00:19:24,426
And that's important
399
00:19:24,429 --> 00:19:27,730
Because I've got to
get some food.
400
00:19:27,731 --> 00:19:29,083
And it's right up there.
401
00:19:29,084 --> 00:19:32,701
Going back and forth untilthe burr becomes a fine edge
402
00:19:32,703 --> 00:19:34,069
Is the magic of sharpening,
403
00:19:34,072 --> 00:19:38,273
And a sharp edgemeans easier survival.
404
00:19:39,777 --> 00:19:42,345
Right there. Palm hearts.
405
00:19:49,721 --> 00:19:50,788
Mmm.
406
00:19:50,788 --> 00:19:53,623
The great thing about
these palm hearts
407
00:19:53,625 --> 00:19:54,824
Is they're plentiful.
408
00:19:54,826 --> 00:19:57,759
There's
all kinds of them around.
409
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,445
Mmm. Sugars, starches.
410
00:20:00,446 --> 00:20:02,509
Tender and juicy.
411
00:20:02,968 --> 00:20:05,902
This is going to help me
get through the day now.
412
00:20:05,903 --> 00:20:08,070
I'm starting to feel a bit weak,
413
00:20:08,073 --> 00:20:10,006
But this will pick me right up.
414
00:20:10,008 --> 00:20:11,907
There's another four or five
there.
415
00:20:11,910 --> 00:20:15,878
I'm going to turn
the cameras off and have lunch.
416
00:20:20,584 --> 00:20:22,605
A day of climbingthrough this thick jungle
417
00:20:22,606 --> 00:20:25,121
Has yielded me onlya few palm hearts to eat,
418
00:20:25,122 --> 00:20:26,963
So I'll keep movingin the hopes of finding
419
00:20:26,964 --> 00:20:28,964
more fruitful areas.
420
00:20:28,992 --> 00:20:30,925
I've been traveling a long ways,
421
00:20:30,928 --> 00:20:33,494
And I don't want to make the
same mistake I made yesterday.
422
00:20:33,497 --> 00:20:35,798
I got to start getting ready
'cause
423
00:20:35,799 --> 00:20:38,467
I'm sure the night rains
will be soon.
424
00:20:39,903 --> 00:20:42,503
That's what
a good, sharp machete does.
425
00:20:45,471 --> 00:20:46,787
Okay.
426
00:20:49,846 --> 00:20:52,039
Now, I found a way to make this
427
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,500
A little more substantial.
428
00:20:55,114 --> 00:20:57,647
Lots of material in the jungle.
429
00:21:04,346 --> 00:21:06,282
All right.
430
00:21:10,032 --> 00:21:11,000
It has to be realized
431
00:21:11,001 --> 00:21:13,701
That building shelterstakes a lot of time.
432
00:21:13,703 --> 00:21:16,887
There's no point to themunless they're really needed.
433
00:21:16,874 --> 00:21:18,106
It's a tough decision,
434
00:21:18,108 --> 00:21:21,309
But survival is alwayschoice after choice.
435
00:21:21,311 --> 00:21:23,546
I just have tomake the right ones
436
00:21:23,548 --> 00:21:27,506
Or risk making things worseby my own inactivity.
437
00:21:29,286 --> 00:21:32,320
Sweating up a storm here,
and all I've had is
438
00:21:32,323 --> 00:21:34,155
Puddle water today.
439
00:21:34,157 --> 00:21:38,426
A bit of a dehydrated day,
for sure.
440
00:21:39,262 --> 00:21:42,664
At least this way,
if the night rains do happen,
441
00:21:42,666 --> 00:21:44,400
Much better setup now.
442
00:21:44,402 --> 00:21:47,670
And one of the reasons for
443
00:21:47,672 --> 00:21:49,171
Breaking up all this earth, too,
444
00:21:49,173 --> 00:21:52,074
And putting it that I'm not
on a bunch of leaves
445
00:21:52,076 --> 00:21:55,614
Is if there are any flama ants
446
00:21:55,615 --> 00:21:58,750
Or millipedes or toktok ants
crawling along,
447
00:21:58,750 --> 00:22:01,549
It's just a little easier
to see them in the dark.
448
00:22:01,550 --> 00:22:04,854
If the jungle is intimidatingduring the day,
449
00:22:04,855 --> 00:22:06,255
It comes alive at night
450
00:22:06,257 --> 00:22:09,459
Like some crawling,slithering dark prison,
451
00:22:09,460 --> 00:22:12,994
And only the morning lightbrings escape.
452
00:22:12,997 --> 00:22:16,131
What the --
what the heck?
453
00:22:17,334 --> 00:22:20,134
I hate sleeping on the ground
when I know there's
454
00:22:20,136 --> 00:22:24,405
Big, nasty ants
that crawl around at night.
455
00:22:30,579 --> 00:22:32,047
There we go.
456
00:22:32,549 --> 00:22:33,582
Right on cue.
457
00:22:33,584 --> 00:22:36,151
Middle of the night
and here comes the rain.
458
00:22:36,153 --> 00:22:38,252
Has its benefits.
459
00:22:40,951 --> 00:22:42,392
It comes in really strong waves.
460
00:22:42,393 --> 00:22:45,994
There was a big swath
that just came pouring through
461
00:22:45,996 --> 00:22:47,930
And now it stops,
it'll drip for a while,
462
00:22:47,932 --> 00:22:49,990
And it'll probably
come up again.
463
00:22:55,323 --> 00:22:57,324
It's pouring.
464
00:22:57,740 --> 00:22:59,674
Have I ever said
something along the lines of,
465
00:22:59,676 --> 00:23:02,411
"it's going to be a long night?"
466
00:23:02,413 --> 00:23:05,988
'cause it's going to be
a long night again.
467
00:23:07,983 --> 00:23:09,518
Sitting in the mud.
468
00:23:09,519 --> 00:23:12,788
Hoping that
nothing is crawling on my back.
469
00:23:14,036 --> 00:23:17,510
Mmm. Oh, that's good.
470
00:23:21,463 --> 00:23:23,531
I needed that.
471
00:23:23,534 --> 00:23:26,335
Been dehydrated all day.
472
00:23:26,336 --> 00:23:29,070
And herein liesthe yin and yang of survival.
473
00:23:29,073 --> 00:23:33,453
The rain can soak me throughand cause fungus to develop,
474
00:23:33,454 --> 00:23:35,044
Yet it rehydrates me.
475
00:23:35,045 --> 00:23:37,505
It can chill me downto the point of shivering
476
00:23:37,506 --> 00:23:38,681
Even in this hot jungle,
477
00:23:38,682 --> 00:23:42,550
Yet it can keep the flying bugsand mosquitoes away.
478
00:23:42,555 --> 00:23:43,765
Survival, at best,
479
00:23:43,766 --> 00:23:47,555
Is an emotional andpsychological roller coaster.
480
00:23:52,595 --> 00:23:57,365
There's not a rock in the jungle
that isn't slippery.
481
00:23:57,367 --> 00:23:59,000
I'm going straight down.
482
00:23:59,002 --> 00:24:03,267
There are only two directionsin the jungle --
483
00:24:03,268 --> 00:24:05,500
Up or down.
484
00:24:11,075 --> 00:24:13,275
I hear water running.
485
00:24:13,458 --> 00:24:15,692
See water running.
486
00:24:15,692 --> 00:24:17,526
All right.
487
00:24:20,191 --> 00:24:22,507
Aah. Yep.
488
00:24:24,694 --> 00:24:26,957
That's what I was afraid of.
489
00:24:26,958 --> 00:24:29,065
Sulfur water. It's hot.
490
00:24:29,066 --> 00:24:31,878
Probably upstream, there's
a big pool I could even get in.
491
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,646
I can bathe in it.
492
00:24:36,980 --> 00:24:38,684
It's quite warm, actually,
493
00:24:38,693 --> 00:24:40,292
And quite undrinkable.
494
00:24:40,294 --> 00:24:43,828
I still have to find
an alternate source of water.
495
00:24:44,082 --> 00:24:46,148
Although,
with all the rain at night,
496
00:24:46,150 --> 00:24:47,883
That's keeping me hydrated
for now.
497
00:24:47,884 --> 00:24:52,086
Doing reconnaissance missions
like this are really important.
498
00:24:52,088 --> 00:24:55,757
As I call them, checking out
your zones of assessment.
499
00:24:55,759 --> 00:24:58,059
This my zone of assessment
number three.
500
00:24:58,061 --> 00:25:00,127
Walking fairly far
to see what I've got.
501
00:25:00,130 --> 00:25:02,364
Just have to
be really, really careful
502
00:25:02,365 --> 00:25:04,799
That I don't
blow too many calories
503
00:25:04,801 --> 00:25:08,369
Going for a reward
of very small calories.
504
00:25:08,372 --> 00:25:10,439
Sometimes it pays off, though.
505
00:25:10,441 --> 00:25:14,242
Though I do know
where I can have a bath now.
506
00:25:14,244 --> 00:25:16,511
All right.
I see the clearing up here.
507
00:25:16,513 --> 00:25:17,679
That's where I'm headed.
508
00:25:17,681 --> 00:25:20,348
Of course, I went after
a clearing yesterday.
509
00:25:20,351 --> 00:25:22,518
Got to the very top
and found nothing.
510
00:25:22,519 --> 00:25:26,221
Let's hope my fortunes
are different this time.
511
00:25:28,657 --> 00:25:31,159
Oh, yeah.
It opens up, all right.
512
00:25:31,161 --> 00:25:33,172
It's got to be
an old jungle farm.
513
00:25:33,173 --> 00:25:35,298
Ooh, I see a coconut tree.
514
00:25:35,298 --> 00:25:37,532
That's where I'm first headed
right there.
515
00:25:37,535 --> 00:25:38,982
Doesn't look promising.
516
00:25:38,983 --> 00:25:41,490
Maybe there's something
on the ground.
517
00:25:45,511 --> 00:25:46,375
Whoa!
518
00:25:46,376 --> 00:25:48,174
I hacked into this coconut just
519
00:25:48,201 --> 00:25:50,378
'cause I figured,
"oh, it's rotted,
520
00:25:50,381 --> 00:25:52,647
It's not going to be any good."
521
00:25:52,650 --> 00:25:55,683
And I see what I can eat
right in there.
522
00:25:55,684 --> 00:25:57,786
Mm. Here we go.
523
00:26:02,352 --> 00:26:03,885
Ohh!
524
00:26:04,003 --> 00:26:05,560
Boy, I needed that.
525
00:26:05,563 --> 00:26:07,596
There's four or five more
around here.
526
00:26:07,597 --> 00:26:09,523
I hack into them all.
527
00:26:09,525 --> 00:26:11,357
Eat them all.
528
00:26:11,358 --> 00:26:12,925
Ohh.
529
00:26:14,372 --> 00:26:16,994
Oh, boy, that's sustenance.
530
00:26:18,074 --> 00:26:21,993
Tiny and old jungle farmsexist throughout the island.
531
00:26:21,994 --> 00:26:24,557
They are often and
mostly abandoned,
532
00:26:24,558 --> 00:26:25,993
but they remain productive
533
00:26:25,981 --> 00:26:28,481
With all kinds of fruit treesand plants
534
00:26:28,484 --> 00:26:32,287
From mango and bananasto coconuts and pineapples.
535
00:26:32,288 --> 00:26:34,890
In fact,if you were on the run,
536
00:26:34,892 --> 00:26:39,027
They'd makea great place to hide out.
537
00:26:39,525 --> 00:26:43,161
This is a mango tree,
538
00:26:43,162 --> 00:26:46,701
And up there are mangoes.
539
00:26:46,703 --> 00:26:48,202
But they are way up there.
540
00:26:48,204 --> 00:26:50,705
And these ones on the ground
that have fallen down
541
00:26:50,708 --> 00:26:52,407
Are just too rotted to eat.
542
00:26:52,410 --> 00:26:54,175
I've got to find a way
543
00:26:54,177 --> 00:26:56,833
To knock down some of those ones
that are way up there.
544
00:26:56,834 --> 00:26:58,333
I can't reach them.
545
00:26:58,334 --> 00:27:00,648
And I can see my way.
546
00:27:00,651 --> 00:27:03,051
And it's called bamboo.
547
00:27:03,054 --> 00:27:08,057
Eating the coconut has given mea much-needed energy boost.
548
00:27:09,130 --> 00:27:12,561
Come on. Aah!
549
00:27:12,563 --> 00:27:14,395
Yeah, two!
550
00:27:14,397 --> 00:27:17,298
Check this out.
551
00:27:17,300 --> 00:27:18,666
Fresh mango.
552
00:27:18,669 --> 00:27:20,635
Right from the tree.
553
00:27:23,340 --> 00:27:26,241
Oh, yeah.
554
00:27:28,171 --> 00:27:30,672
Oh, my god.
555
00:27:34,317 --> 00:27:35,384
This is a good day.
556
00:27:35,385 --> 00:27:37,152
You hear about, sometimes,
people go off
557
00:27:37,153 --> 00:27:40,189
And they live out in the
wilderness in the jungles
558
00:27:40,191 --> 00:27:43,224
And they actually
will slip into local areas
559
00:27:43,227 --> 00:27:46,074
To steal food and get right back
to the jungle again.
560
00:27:46,075 --> 00:27:49,431
That's kind of what I feel like
I'm doing right now.
561
00:27:49,432 --> 00:27:51,500
All right, I'm going to
562
00:27:51,501 --> 00:27:53,568
Collect a couple of these
to take with me
563
00:27:53,572 --> 00:27:57,440
And look a little further
and see what else I can find
564
00:27:57,441 --> 00:28:00,971
In this jungle-reclaimed farm.
565
00:28:06,883 --> 00:28:10,051
Though the rainwaterI collected is refreshing,
566
00:28:10,053 --> 00:28:12,718
I always prefer to seek outgood water out of the ground
567
00:28:12,719 --> 00:28:16,121
For its tasteand mineral content.
568
00:28:16,122 --> 00:28:18,721
Here we go. Spring.
569
00:28:24,203 --> 00:28:25,454
Mmm.
570
00:28:25,903 --> 00:28:28,836
That's not sulfur water.
That's good, fresh water.
571
00:28:28,838 --> 00:28:32,740
Actually tastes like
mineral water.
572
00:28:39,015 --> 00:28:41,439
I think that hummingbird
wanted to come
573
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,500
and get a drink and
I'm in his way.
574
00:28:44,067 --> 00:28:49,203
This is shaping to be one heck
of a day of good survival.
575
00:28:50,460 --> 00:28:53,427
This jungle areabrings about familiarity
576
00:28:53,430 --> 00:28:56,198
And makes all the differencefor survival.
577
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:57,699
Evidence, no matter how old,
578
00:28:57,701 --> 00:29:00,536
Of human activity --cut trees, clearings --
579
00:29:00,538 --> 00:29:03,571
All help to make mefeel more confident
580
00:29:03,574 --> 00:29:05,221
And sure of what I need to do.
581
00:29:05,222 --> 00:29:08,963
Now is when my decision tostay put becomes the priority
582
00:29:08,964 --> 00:29:10,557
Over constantly
moving and seeking
583
00:29:10,558 --> 00:29:12,232
out more advantageous areas.
584
00:29:12,233 --> 00:29:15,317
Now we're talking
my speed of fruit.
585
00:29:15,318 --> 00:29:16,285
These look like limes,
586
00:29:16,287 --> 00:29:20,923
But they're actually justgreen lemons.
587
00:29:20,924 --> 00:29:21,589
Oh, that's good.
588
00:29:21,592 --> 00:29:24,359
And this tree is a bit
of a distance from my camp.
589
00:29:24,361 --> 00:29:27,895
In fact, it's quite a distance,
but I know where it is
590
00:29:27,896 --> 00:29:29,489
And I can
gather a bunch of them,
591
00:29:29,490 --> 00:29:31,497
Take them back to camp,
and enjoy.
592
00:29:31,498 --> 00:29:32,263
Mmm.
593
00:29:32,265 --> 00:29:34,990
Oh, it's a good thing
I like sour.
594
00:29:40,202 --> 00:29:42,037
Don't do that at home.
595
00:29:42,038 --> 00:29:43,619
Mangoes, lemons,
596
00:29:43,621 --> 00:29:45,513
Coconuts, fresh water.
597
00:29:45,516 --> 00:29:47,615
With so many advantages,
598
00:29:47,617 --> 00:29:51,252
Things are beginning tolook up.
599
00:29:54,089 --> 00:29:56,659
Well, it's raining.
600
00:29:56,661 --> 00:29:58,259
Again.
601
00:29:58,261 --> 00:29:59,862
Funny thing.
602
00:29:59,864 --> 00:30:03,531
All this rain in a cloud forest.
603
00:30:03,534 --> 00:30:05,800
A long hike
604
00:30:05,803 --> 00:30:08,237
Getting to everything today.
605
00:30:08,238 --> 00:30:10,705
I know where the mangoes are.
606
00:30:10,708 --> 00:30:13,424
I know where the lemons are.
607
00:30:13,425 --> 00:30:16,077
I know where coconuts are.
608
00:30:16,078 --> 00:30:19,493
Most importantly, I know where
there's some spring water.
609
00:30:39,535 --> 00:30:42,703
Just coming along here.
610
00:30:42,705 --> 00:30:44,972
This area is cleared
611
00:30:44,974 --> 00:30:48,609
Like I've been seeing --
jungle farm.
612
00:30:48,612 --> 00:30:51,614
And wait till you see
613
00:30:51,615 --> 00:30:54,316
What sits
at the edge of the field.
614
00:30:54,317 --> 00:30:55,616
Look at that.
615
00:30:55,618 --> 00:30:58,854
Looks old and left behind,
but there's a roof there.
616
00:30:58,855 --> 00:31:01,137
That's a heck of a
lot bigger than
617
00:31:01,163 --> 00:31:03,224
my little, orange garbage bag.
618
00:31:05,096 --> 00:31:06,994
This is great.
619
00:31:06,997 --> 00:31:10,699
Remember I talked about
how people come out here
620
00:31:10,701 --> 00:31:14,169
And build bamboo huts,
621
00:31:14,171 --> 00:31:16,171
Hide away in the jungle?
622
00:31:16,173 --> 00:31:18,173
Check this out.
623
00:31:20,710 --> 00:31:25,145
Let's see if it's simply
abandoned or still in use.
624
00:31:25,147 --> 00:31:29,683
Well, doesn't look like
anybody is using it.
625
00:31:29,685 --> 00:31:32,487
except maybe now.
626
00:31:32,489 --> 00:31:33,622
All right, well, I'm going to
627
00:31:33,624 --> 00:31:35,727
Bring the rest of my gear
forward, then,
628
00:31:35,728 --> 00:31:38,826
Because I still want to find
a good running stream.
629
00:31:38,827 --> 00:31:41,692
And, actually,
I want to try some fish--
630
00:31:41,693 --> 00:31:42,792
Whoa! Fishing.
631
00:31:42,794 --> 00:31:45,068
And if it
comes on to pouring rain,
632
00:31:45,069 --> 00:31:47,670
I should be fine.
633
00:31:47,999 --> 00:31:49,217
Incredible.
634
00:31:49,218 --> 00:31:52,273
I became proactiveand found palm hearts to eat.
635
00:31:52,275 --> 00:31:53,974
I foundnot only water and fruit,
636
00:31:53,977 --> 00:31:55,609
But also an abandoned shelter.
637
00:31:55,612 --> 00:31:57,367
These are the benefitsof perseverance
638
00:31:57,368 --> 00:32:00,182
In a survival situation.
639
00:32:00,183 --> 00:32:03,617
That was a long day,
but a fruitful day.
640
00:32:03,619 --> 00:32:05,220
no pun intended.
641
00:32:05,221 --> 00:32:08,986
Between the mangoes,
the coconut, the lemons.
642
00:32:08,987 --> 00:32:11,001
Now it's time
643
00:32:11,002 --> 00:32:13,009
For dinner.
644
00:32:14,557 --> 00:32:16,257
So excuse me while I eat.
645
00:32:34,951 --> 00:32:38,586
I think I'm food drunk.
That was a pretty bad song.
646
00:32:40,022 --> 00:32:42,758
Food drunk on a survival ordeal.
647
00:32:42,759 --> 00:32:46,361
There's a first for everything.
648
00:32:53,769 --> 00:32:57,998
This should finally be
a better night's sleep.
649
00:33:07,549 --> 00:33:10,085
Oh, you've got to be kidding me.
650
00:33:10,086 --> 00:33:11,385
I am standing here.
651
00:33:11,387 --> 00:33:13,387
I'm not sitting.
I'm not lying.
652
00:33:13,390 --> 00:33:15,257
I'm standing.
And why am I standing?
653
00:33:15,259 --> 00:33:20,028
Because this place
has come alive with fire ants.
654
00:33:20,029 --> 00:33:21,195
That's unbelievable.
655
00:33:21,198 --> 00:33:23,397
They are crawling
all along the bamboo.
656
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,134
I tried
sitting down on the floor.
657
00:33:26,135 --> 00:33:28,804
It's just the whole building
658
00:33:28,806 --> 00:33:32,574
Is covered in fire ants.
659
00:33:33,976 --> 00:33:40,115
All right. Well,
I'm basically in the barn now.
660
00:33:41,416 --> 00:33:44,853
Not much I can do
but sit out here
661
00:33:44,855 --> 00:33:47,855
Because
I'm not going back in there.
662
00:33:47,857 --> 00:33:49,023
That's insane.
663
00:33:49,026 --> 00:33:50,983
I think I'm going
to be pretty much
664
00:33:50,984 --> 00:33:53,491
just curled here now in the dirt
665
00:33:53,864 --> 00:33:57,731
And hope that the ants
stick to the wood
666
00:33:57,733 --> 00:33:59,508
'cause, you know, ants don't
667
00:33:59,534 --> 00:34:01,536
crawl on the ground, do they?
668
00:34:04,508 --> 00:34:07,942
This couldn't be worse.
669
00:34:07,944 --> 00:34:10,711
Nope, couldn't be worse.
670
00:34:18,838 --> 00:34:21,121
4 Days of Survival
Grenada
671
00:34:21,123 --> 00:34:24,025
Survivalis a constant roller coaster.
672
00:34:24,027 --> 00:34:26,661
Sometimesfor every advantage I find,
673
00:34:26,663 --> 00:34:28,697
I run up againstanother challenge.
674
00:34:28,699 --> 00:34:30,931
Only perseverancewill win the day
675
00:34:30,934 --> 00:34:34,969
When it comes tosurviving in the jungle.
676
00:34:37,539 --> 00:34:39,740
What a night.
677
00:34:39,742 --> 00:34:42,244
It only rained
for about 30 seconds,
678
00:34:42,246 --> 00:34:46,648
But no worry.
Me and all the ants stayed dry.
679
00:34:46,650 --> 00:34:50,619
Pretty much
spent the night just sitting.
680
00:34:50,621 --> 00:34:54,856
I think that's the hard-core
reality of survival is
681
00:34:54,858 --> 00:34:57,192
You don't usually
sleep at night.
682
00:34:57,193 --> 00:35:00,561
So you sleep during the day
683
00:35:00,563 --> 00:35:03,898
When you're supposed to be
looking for food,
684
00:35:03,900 --> 00:35:07,001
Which is what
I'm going to go do now.
685
00:35:07,003 --> 00:35:08,536
I've got lots of mangoes here.
686
00:35:08,538 --> 00:35:10,838
That's fantastic,
so I know I can rely on that.
687
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,041
I'm going to head downstream
and see if I can find
688
00:35:13,043 --> 00:35:16,077
Another feeder stream that
I can actually drink water from
689
00:35:16,079 --> 00:35:19,246
And maybe catch some fish.
690
00:35:25,621 --> 00:35:28,123
Does this look familiar?
691
00:35:28,791 --> 00:35:30,625
It sure feels familiar.
692
00:35:30,626 --> 00:35:32,367
Up and down.
693
00:35:32,367 --> 00:35:34,601
Up and down.
694
00:35:38,934 --> 00:35:42,402
I'd still like to finda substantial running stream.
695
00:35:42,405 --> 00:35:45,039
I know they can containlarge crayfish.
696
00:35:45,041 --> 00:35:47,442
And finding meat like thatto eat will go a long way
697
00:35:47,443 --> 00:35:51,278
Toward securing what could be,if I choose to do so,
698
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:54,449
Long-term survivalin this jungle.
699
00:35:54,451 --> 00:35:58,753
This was that little
wrist survival kit that I had.
700
00:36:00,862 --> 00:36:02,972
That's pretty much
what I was hoping for.
701
00:36:02,972 --> 00:36:04,081
Fishing line.
702
00:36:04,081 --> 00:36:05,947
Even a little lure.
703
00:36:05,949 --> 00:36:07,195
And a hook.
704
00:36:07,197 --> 00:36:10,731
I said
I was going to go fishing.
705
00:36:11,367 --> 00:36:14,603
Not for regular fish.
Crayfish.
706
00:36:25,782 --> 00:36:27,315
Here's the pole.
707
00:36:27,317 --> 00:36:31,954
And I've secured the
fishing line to the top here.
708
00:36:31,954 --> 00:36:34,121
What'll happen, though,
for fishing
709
00:36:34,123 --> 00:36:36,690
Is I'll get some bait
on the end,
710
00:36:36,693 --> 00:36:39,693
And I actually stick it into
the end of the rod like this.
711
00:36:39,695 --> 00:36:41,563
I hold on to it with one hand
712
00:36:41,565 --> 00:36:43,847
And my finger
holds on to the fishing line.
713
00:36:43,855 --> 00:36:45,099
Then I take this.
714
00:36:45,101 --> 00:36:47,143
Put it deep down into holes
715
00:36:47,144 --> 00:36:50,713
Where I'm hoping
the big crayfish are.
716
00:36:58,313 --> 00:37:00,548
Hey! There we go.
717
00:37:00,550 --> 00:37:03,485
That's what I'm looking for.
718
00:37:03,487 --> 00:37:05,320
Little crayfish.
719
00:37:05,322 --> 00:37:08,322
Feed them through the hook.
720
00:37:08,324 --> 00:37:09,423
There we go.
721
00:37:09,425 --> 00:37:11,460
Looks appetizing to me.
722
00:37:13,362 --> 00:37:16,030
I'm fishing formuch larger crayfish.
723
00:37:16,032 --> 00:37:18,900
They can provide me with
a very substantial meal.
724
00:37:18,902 --> 00:37:20,737
They're like a small lobster,
725
00:37:20,737 --> 00:37:23,739
Sometimes as heavy
as a pound or two.
726
00:37:28,710 --> 00:37:31,380
There's definitely one
down in there.
727
00:37:31,382 --> 00:37:32,648
Nice size.
728
00:37:32,650 --> 00:37:35,516
He took all the bait, almost.
729
00:37:35,518 --> 00:37:37,885
All right.
730
00:37:37,887 --> 00:37:39,288
Try again.
731
00:37:39,289 --> 00:37:42,556
Even one large crayfishwould make a big difference,
732
00:37:42,557 --> 00:37:48,005
But the process is trickyand requires a lot of patience.
733
00:37:51,465 --> 00:37:56,702
They hide way up insideunderneath these rocks.
734
00:37:57,306 --> 00:38:00,541
Yep. Another one
just took my bait.
735
00:38:00,543 --> 00:38:04,346
They're deep under there.
I can't really reach my hand in.
736
00:38:04,347 --> 00:38:06,146
Get a pinch if I do.
737
00:38:06,148 --> 00:38:08,182
They can be this big --
738
00:38:08,184 --> 00:38:09,083
Crayfish --
739
00:38:09,085 --> 00:38:10,485
So I'll lose a finger.
740
00:38:10,487 --> 00:38:14,155
So, I think I'm going to
head downstream a bit.
741
00:38:14,157 --> 00:38:16,824
Explore a little more,
and, most importantly,
742
00:38:16,826 --> 00:38:20,094
Since I have been
in the jungle for a while,
743
00:38:20,096 --> 00:38:21,329
Clean off.
744
00:38:21,331 --> 00:38:26,501
Without proper hygienein every survival situation,
745
00:38:26,503 --> 00:38:29,936
I run the riskof highly dangerous rashes
746
00:38:29,938 --> 00:38:31,306
And fungus development --
747
00:38:31,307 --> 00:38:34,074
Small ailmentsthat can make a survival ordeal
748
00:38:34,077 --> 00:38:37,077
A horrible testof pain endurance.
749
00:38:37,079 --> 00:38:41,815
I just came downstream
a few hundred yards.
750
00:38:41,818 --> 00:38:43,918
I don't believe this.
751
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:48,489
I think I see coconuts.
752
00:38:57,099 --> 00:38:58,231
Here it is.
753
00:38:58,599 --> 00:39:02,934
It's so rare to be able toget green coconuts so easily,
754
00:39:02,936 --> 00:39:06,239
So this is completelya matter of survival luck.
755
00:39:06,242 --> 00:39:08,108
And I'm going totake advantage of it
756
00:39:08,110 --> 00:39:10,844
By catching upon my sleep as well
757
00:39:10,847 --> 00:39:12,914
So that I can thinkmore clearly
758
00:39:12,916 --> 00:39:14,514
And make better decisions
759
00:39:14,516 --> 00:39:17,485
On what to do next.
760
00:39:17,485 --> 00:39:23,289
Without sleep,thinking clearly is impossible.
761
00:39:30,599 --> 00:39:34,668
There's simply been no need forfire so far into this journey.
762
00:39:34,670 --> 00:39:37,677
But with the advantageof a solid roof overhead,
763
00:39:37,677 --> 00:39:39,364
It's time to make a fire
764
00:39:39,364 --> 00:39:41,996
And enjoy its many benefits.
765
00:39:41,998 --> 00:39:45,445
Doesn't matter where you are,
how hot and dry it is,
766
00:39:45,447 --> 00:39:49,516
Getting a fire going
still requires patience
767
00:39:49,518 --> 00:39:51,385
And long setup.
768
00:39:51,387 --> 00:39:53,554
And very fine tinders.
769
00:39:53,556 --> 00:39:54,922
And then, for good measure,
770
00:39:54,923 --> 00:39:58,326
I know this usually
holds an ember.
771
00:39:58,327 --> 00:40:01,929
It's an old termite nest.
772
00:40:01,931 --> 00:40:03,764
Watch out for fire ants here.
773
00:40:03,766 --> 00:40:06,471
Let's try a little trick,
get a fire going.
774
00:40:06,472 --> 00:40:10,338
I've got a bottle of water
and some printer paper.
775
00:40:10,340 --> 00:40:13,940
Paper that was used
just to test the ink cartridge.
776
00:40:13,943 --> 00:40:17,043
So what's important
is the black.
777
00:40:17,045 --> 00:40:19,514
So I'm going to take it
and fold it in four.
778
00:40:19,516 --> 00:40:25,286
I'm just looking for
the spot where I can focus.
779
00:40:27,170 --> 00:40:28,722
I need more sun.
780
00:40:28,724 --> 00:40:29,556
There we go.
781
00:40:29,559 --> 00:40:33,161
I had the paperin with my camera equipment.
782
00:40:33,561 --> 00:40:36,931
there goes my sun.
783
00:40:36,932 --> 00:40:37,831
Come back.
784
00:40:37,833 --> 00:40:42,402
I figure, why not use itfor the greater good?
785
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:47,942
Oh, there's a lot of clouds
up there today.
786
00:40:47,943 --> 00:40:50,210
It's not helping.
787
00:40:56,485 --> 00:40:59,052
Well, it worked really well
on youtube.
788
00:40:59,054 --> 00:41:00,887
Okay, what I'll try and do here
is just
789
00:41:00,889 --> 00:41:03,291
Simply use my flint
and a piece of paper.
790
00:41:03,293 --> 00:41:07,152
But I have no magnesium shavings
or anything like that.
791
00:41:07,130 --> 00:41:08,797
I think it'll work.
792
00:41:08,798 --> 00:41:10,498
What I got to do, though,
is I'm going to
793
00:41:10,500 --> 00:41:14,568
Rough up the paper a bit,
get some rips.
794
00:41:23,778 --> 00:41:27,382
Just gently
fold another piece over.
795
00:41:27,384 --> 00:41:31,318
Just gently hold it together.
796
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:33,588
Keep feeding it some oxygen.
797
00:41:33,590 --> 00:41:37,125
One more piece of paper.
798
00:41:37,126 --> 00:41:40,394
All right.
Now we should have fire.
799
00:41:40,396 --> 00:41:43,864
There we go.
There we go!
800
00:41:43,865 --> 00:41:46,195
Yeah!
801
00:41:51,992 --> 00:41:53,240
Whoo!
802
00:41:53,242 --> 00:41:54,675
Now we're talking.
803
00:41:54,677 --> 00:41:56,378
Ha ha!
804
00:41:56,380 --> 00:41:58,746
Die, fire ants, die!
805
00:41:58,748 --> 00:42:01,048
I know you're inside there.
806
00:42:01,817 --> 00:42:04,485
Now, that's what I call a meal.
807
00:42:04,487 --> 00:42:05,820
Unbelievable.
808
00:42:05,822 --> 00:42:09,181
Tomorrow, I'll just
go downhill, down, down, down.
809
00:42:09,182 --> 00:42:10,260
Walk my way out of here.
810
00:42:10,260 --> 00:42:11,492
My time here is done.
811
00:42:12,001 --> 00:42:13,960
But this was
effective jungle survival.
812
00:42:13,963 --> 00:42:16,097
I could go up
and I find palm hearts.
813
00:42:16,099 --> 00:42:18,666
I go down that way and I find,
you know,
814
00:42:18,668 --> 00:42:22,036
A river of fresh, flowing water
and coconuts I can grab.
815
00:42:22,038 --> 00:42:24,472
Go down this way
and I've got mangoes and lemons.
816
00:42:24,474 --> 00:42:26,806
And that is good,
effective survival
817
00:42:26,809 --> 00:42:27,942
When I can have a base camp
818
00:42:27,943 --> 00:42:31,378
And fan out and find something
in every location.
819
00:42:31,380 --> 00:42:34,547
That's jungle survival for you.
820
00:42:38,686 --> 00:42:40,588
Withinevery generalized ecosystem,
821
00:42:40,590 --> 00:42:43,990
Every square milehas its own unique life to it.
822
00:42:43,992 --> 00:42:46,827
Within places we givegeneral descriptions to,
823
00:42:46,829 --> 00:42:49,898
There survives a uniquecollection of biodiversity
824
00:42:49,898 --> 00:42:52,293
That, if destroyed,
is not repeated
825
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:54,568
anywhere else on this earth.
826
00:42:54,570 --> 00:42:57,882
Jungle survival is intimidatingto the outside observer,
827
00:42:57,884 --> 00:42:59,983
But more intimidating
is not having
828
00:43:00,009 --> 00:43:02,242
a jungle to survive in at all.
829
00:43:02,244 --> 00:43:04,545
The amazonis different from the congo.
830
00:43:04,547 --> 00:43:07,181
Papua new guineais different from grenada.
831
00:43:07,161 --> 00:43:09,784
Though we refer to themall as just jungles,
832
00:43:09,786 --> 00:43:11,485
What makes any one area special
833
00:43:11,487 --> 00:43:14,722
Is the fact it'sa deep, dark, dramatic example
834
00:43:14,724 --> 00:43:16,324
Of a living and breathingplanet.
835
00:43:16,326 --> 00:43:19,626
And, in this respect,the grenada jungle stands out
836
00:43:19,628 --> 00:43:22,130
As a pristine and beautifulexample
837
00:43:22,132 --> 00:43:25,565
Of the place we refer toas the jungle.
