Coldest night ever.

Lisa: I don't think
I'm gonna make it.

seriously be in jeopardy.

...Without food,
water, or clothes.
13
00:00:33,701 --> 00:00:35,101
I'm really cold.

have fallen in the
last three days,

causing deadly flash floods, a
10-degree drop in temperature,
36
00:01:26,354 --> 00:01:28,353

coldest conditions
37
00:01:28,355 --> 00:01:30,623
in "naked and afraid" history.

Fully aware of the
heightened risk,

to proceed with the challenge

I'm a wilderness
survival instructor.

Having taught survival
for the past 20 years,
46
00:01:51,446 --> 00:01:53,045
I've got a large bag of tricks.
47
00:01:53,047 --> 00:01:56,048
I've taught everything
from bows and arrows
48
00:01:56,050 --> 00:01:57,783
to basket making, pottery.
49
00:01:57,785 --> 00:02:00,786
Being somebody that likes
to run off into the woods
50
00:02:00,788 --> 00:02:03,055
also lends itself
to being a loner.
51
00:02:03,057 --> 00:02:05,724
There's definitely times I
get impatient with people.
52
00:02:05,726 --> 00:02:08,728
Looking at these
conditions of cold and wet,
53
00:02:08,730 --> 00:02:11,530
I'm concerned my partner's
gonna tap out in the first hour
54
00:02:11,532 --> 00:02:13,366
and I'm gonna be
alone for 21 days.

21-day survival experience,

58
00:02:22,943 --> 00:02:24,343
I enjoy working with people,
59
00:02:24,345 --> 00:02:26,078
and I have been
studying survival
60
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:27,413
for the last several years.

00:02:27,415 --> 00:02:29,415
I love minimalist camping,

00:02:29,417 --> 00:02:32,084

building fires.

working in an
emergency department,
65
00:02:34,955 --> 00:02:37,022
so I understand how
to get things done

isn't a micromanager

After everything I
was thinking about,
71
00:02:50,437 --> 00:02:52,438
this is the worst-case
scenario I was planning for.

it's pouring rain.

I hope that my survival
partner's a nice person,

I hope that they have
a sense of humor,

and I hope that we
get along together.

by a small crew

case of a medical emergency.

of the andes mountains

of 63 degrees --
100
00:03:54,635 --> 00:03:56,702
the highest and
coldest insertion point

of any previous survivalist.
102
00:03:58,172 --> 00:04:00,172
Being wet and
naked at this altitude
103
00:04:00,174 --> 00:04:02,708
drops core body temperature
by several degrees
104
00:04:02,710 --> 00:04:05,311
and severely increases
the threat of hypothermia,
105
00:04:05,313 --> 00:04:07,246
and food sources will be scarce
106
00:04:07,248 --> 00:04:10,716
as animals such as wild
turkeys, poisonous toads,
107
00:04:10,718 --> 00:04:11,984

from the cold conditions.

from new England?

00:04:24,265 --> 00:04:26,465
Yeah, currently. I
live in massachusetts.

113
00:04:28,002 --> 00:04:29,134

Lisa: Tom seems
like a really nice guy.
122
00:04:43,217 --> 00:04:45,484
He seems like he has a
lot of experience at this.
123
00:04:45,486 --> 00:04:47,753
I definitely appreciate having
somebody who's done this a lot.

cold right now.

Tom: I'm already
getting pretty cold,

have to really get on it
131

and build a shelter and a fire.
132
00:05:12,180 --> 00:05:14,914
Looks like a nice opening
up there would be nice.
133
00:05:14,916 --> 00:05:16,581
It's high up above the river.
134
00:05:16,583 --> 00:05:19,451
Honestly, like, I don't
know if it's getting any better.

If we can find a
better path, cool.

If we can post up here,
139
00:05:30,664 --> 00:05:32,398
I'll feel a little
bit better about it.
140
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:33,599
Lisa: I think it's
entirely likely
141
00:05:33,601 --> 00:05:35,200
that tom's the one used
to being the one in charge,
142
00:05:35,202 --> 00:05:36,668
the one running things.
143
00:05:36,670 --> 00:05:38,069
Sound good? That's cool.
144
00:05:38,071 --> 00:05:39,338
Cool.
145
00:05:39,340 --> 00:05:41,340
Funny thing is I'm used
to being the one in charge
146
00:05:41,342 --> 00:05:42,407
and the one running things,
147
00:05:42,409 --> 00:05:44,677
so it's gonna be an
interesting pairing.
148
00:05:44,679 --> 00:05:45,811
So, thoughts on shelter?
149
00:05:45,813 --> 00:05:47,812
What kind of structure do
you think you want to build?
150
00:05:47,814 --> 00:05:51,016
Well, I usually
talk about a-frames
151
00:05:51,018 --> 00:05:54,019
or, like, lean-tos, but...
152
00:05:54,021 --> 00:05:55,821
Um, okay.
153
00:05:55,823 --> 00:05:58,223
It's a hard one 'cause
I kind of disagree.
154
00:05:58,225 --> 00:06:00,292
So, I'm not sure
how to handle that.
155
00:06:00,294 --> 00:06:02,428
Lisa: What is your
disagreement with that?
156
00:06:02,430 --> 00:06:04,363
I think for now, the
day's getting late,
157
00:06:04,365 --> 00:06:07,832
so if you're cool with it,
build, like, a small wikiup.
158
00:06:07,834 --> 00:06:09,968
We'll run up here and see if --

seems like there's some decent
stuff up there for straight poles.
160

We need every
minute that we can get.
161
00:06:14,308 --> 00:06:15,707
Hopefully when we're
warm and dry tonight,
162
00:06:15,709 --> 00:06:17,309
we can really hash
out our teamwork
163
00:06:17,311 --> 00:06:18,510
and how things are gonna go.
164
00:06:18,512 --> 00:06:20,445
Right now, it's just
the pressure of day 1

good gash on the arm there.

something to keep it closed.

this entire time
we're here is the cold.
284

And that's huge
because it never lets up.
285
00:13:10,590 --> 00:13:12,591

00:13:12,593 --> 00:13:15,927
to build up rocks in
the front of the shelter

as much of the front of
the shelter as possible.
289
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,734
Hopefully, that's gonna just
throw heat into the shelter

and not just have
it go up and out.

that shelter is waterproof,

How about if we
just make a wall?

know. I'll think about it."

and he was building the wall.

And I felt like I
had a good idea,
299
00:13:58,972 --> 00:14:02,907
and there was no acknowledgement
that it was a good idea
300
00:14:02,909 --> 00:14:05,577

was gonna make the wall,
301
00:14:05,579 --> 00:14:09,113

which is a lovely, lovely place
350
00:16:11,438 --> 00:16:13,504
where it is 75
degrees year-round,
351
00:16:13,506 --> 00:16:15,239
which I think has a big effect
352
00:16:15,241 --> 00:16:17,375
on his ability to
handle the cold.
353
00:16:17,377 --> 00:16:21,980
I live in boston, massachusetts,
and for the last two weeks,
354
00:16:21,982 --> 00:16:25,450
being aware that I was coming
someplace that was kind of cold,
355
00:16:25,452 --> 00:16:28,119
I've kept the heat in
my house at 50 degrees.
356
00:16:28,121 --> 00:16:31,656
I'm hanging out in a tank
top and shorts in my house,
357
00:16:31,658 --> 00:16:33,658
which is currently 54 degrees.
358
00:16:33,660 --> 00:16:36,928
I think that I'm probably
a little better equipped.
359
00:16:36,930 --> 00:16:40,866
He seems like he's really
struggling with the cold.
360
00:16:49,342 --> 00:16:51,142
Narrator: Over
the next four days,
361
00:16:51,144 --> 00:16:53,812
seven more inches of
rain drench the jungle,
362
00:16:53,814 --> 00:16:55,947
and temperatures
hover in the mid 50s.
363
00:16:55,949 --> 00:16:58,749
Tom's constant shivering
is burning essential calories
364
00:16:58,751 --> 00:17:02,754
that he is unable to replace,
making him ever weaker.
365
00:17:36,056 --> 00:17:40,391
Tom is sounding very
kind of despondent,
366
00:17:40,393 --> 00:17:45,397
and, um...
367
00:17:45,399 --> 00:17:47,465
I really hope he doesn't tap.
368
00:17:47,467 --> 00:17:48,667
Tom: If it gets colder
369
00:17:48,669 --> 00:17:51,602
and things don't improve
from what we have right now,
370
00:17:51,604 --> 00:17:54,072
with the level I'm at,
I'm near hypothermic,

I don't really want
to contemplate
375
00:18:02,816 --> 00:18:04,416
going through this alone.
376
00:18:04,418 --> 00:18:08,553
It's true that I ask myself the
same questions that he does,
377
00:18:08,555 --> 00:18:10,888
but he's cold,
378
00:18:10,890 --> 00:18:14,559

not sure that he can do this,

How you doing?
384
00:18:43,056 --> 00:18:45,857
I'm good. I'm just, uh...
385

You know, just feels good
to lay down for a second.
386
00:18:49,262 --> 00:18:50,962
You got to slow down, buddy.
387
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,266
I wish I had packed
on more pounds

before coming
out here, for sure.

By day 21, I'm gonna be --
I'm gonna be pretty emaciated.

Lisa: As a doctor,
391
00:19:03,076 --> 00:19:05,010
I've been taught to
put emotion aside
392
00:19:05,012 --> 00:19:06,744
and also to be very patient.
393
00:19:06,746 --> 00:19:08,012
"no, it's okay."
394
00:19:08,014 --> 00:19:10,614
tom and I have had some
differences since day 1,
395
00:19:10,616 --> 00:19:11,749
but I think right now
396
00:19:11,751 --> 00:19:13,852
the important thing
is to be there for him.
397
00:19:19,692 --> 00:19:22,560
Narrator: A brief
pause from the rain
398
00:19:22,562 --> 00:19:24,496
gives lisa the
opportunity to dig for food
399
00:19:24,498 --> 00:19:26,564
that is more exposed
with warmer weather.
400
00:19:28,101 --> 00:19:31,302
All I know is they
like rotted wood,
401
00:19:31,304 --> 00:19:34,305
so I figured I'd come break
open some rotted wood
402
00:19:34,307 --> 00:19:36,107
and see if I could
find any grubs in there.
403
00:19:37,577 --> 00:19:41,312
We were kind of hoping that
we were gonna find snakes,
404
00:19:41,314 --> 00:19:44,782
frogs, birds,
something decent-sized.
405
00:19:44,784 --> 00:19:46,985
But because of all
the cold and the rain,
406
00:19:46,987 --> 00:19:51,255
our options for food are pretty
much limited to grubs and worms.
407
00:19:51,257 --> 00:19:52,924
But that's okay. It's
better than nothing.
408
00:19:52,926 --> 00:19:57,862
They're not very exciting,
but we just need the calories.
409
00:20:02,335 --> 00:20:04,935
I got something for
you. I got a fatty grub.

whole bunch of worms,

cook them up, but --

00:20:09,809 --> 00:20:11,208
cool. Yeah.
414
00:20:11,210 --> 00:20:12,943
Getting the worm thing, I
think, is gonna be a great idea.
415

Here you go. Thank you so much.
416

418
00:20:17,684 --> 00:20:19,818
Yeah, I think this is gonna
be our go-to food supply

Narrator: The small but
welcome meal of grubs and worms

with about 120 calories

and 11 grams of protein each --

the equivalent of two
medium-sized eggs.
425
00:20:34,768 --> 00:20:36,100
That's so good.

so, tomorrow is
bark shingle day.
432
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,387
It's about the only
material that we have
433

as I'm walking around today,

maybe find some bark

00:21:28,154 --> 00:21:29,887
it just feels a little
different this morning.

Not great, not
fabulous, but better.
445
00:21:32,959 --> 00:21:34,959
At times, this
situation in teamwork
446
00:21:34,961 --> 00:21:36,427
is a little bit difficult,
447
00:21:36,429 --> 00:21:38,696
but we're in a very
unique situation.
448
00:21:38,698 --> 00:21:41,599
This is a difficult situation
with the cold and rain.
449
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,974
One of the issues that we've
been having with our shelter is
450
00:21:49,976 --> 00:21:53,444
that we need to have it covered
in case a rainstorm comes in.
451
00:21:53,446 --> 00:21:56,915
The only other solution
is to use bark shingles,
452
00:21:56,917 --> 00:21:58,583
which is what's
gonna insulate us
453
00:21:58,585 --> 00:22:01,085
and keep us warm
and keep the rain out.
454
00:22:05,325 --> 00:22:07,592
Lisa: The sad thing
about doing this is
455
00:22:07,594 --> 00:22:09,860
that I'm essentially
killing this tree,
456
00:22:09,862 --> 00:22:12,263
but I told the tree that I
really needed the bark
457
00:22:12,265 --> 00:22:13,998
so that I could
stay warm and dry.
458
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,200
Hopefully, it'll understand.
459
00:22:16,202 --> 00:22:19,204
Tom and lisa are using the
bark of the eucalyptus tree
460
00:22:19,206 --> 00:22:21,339
because of its pliability
and high oil content,
461
00:22:21,341 --> 00:22:23,508
which makes it
more water resistant.
462
00:22:26,413 --> 00:22:28,279
Lisa: The bark will
actually keep the water out
463
00:22:28,281 --> 00:22:30,281
and the shingles will
let it run off to the sides,
464
00:22:30,283 --> 00:22:33,017
and it won't wilt,
it won't weather,
465
00:22:33,019 --> 00:22:34,552
the wind won't blow it away,
466
00:22:34,554 --> 00:22:36,621
and it should keep
us dryer better
467
00:22:36,623 --> 00:22:38,822
than the shingling
that we already had.

00:22:38,824 --> 00:22:42,160
The next time that
torrential downpour happens,
469
00:22:42,162 --> 00:22:44,362
we will be dry.

be spent focusing on food.

Definitely looking a bit skinny

00:23:21,133 --> 00:23:23,667

how skinny I'm gonna be

And I think my body is starting
to say, "we need a real meal."
480

tom: This is a turning point.
481
00:23:33,546 --> 00:23:35,312
I've been super
focused on shelter,
482
00:23:35,314 --> 00:23:36,881
but I need to
start looking ahead
483
00:23:36,883 --> 00:23:38,216
and start thinking about food.
484
00:23:38,218 --> 00:23:42,020
So, yeah, trapping is
a big thing right now.
485
00:23:42,022 --> 00:23:45,356
I think today what I'd like
is making a fish basket trap,
486
00:23:45,358 --> 00:23:48,092
just 'cause that could
be very reproducible.
487
00:23:48,094 --> 00:23:49,560
That sounds good.
488
00:23:49,562 --> 00:23:51,161
Lisa: Tom's got a
lot of experience.
489
00:23:51,163 --> 00:23:54,231
He's studied way more
types of traps than I have.
490
00:23:54,233 --> 00:23:57,902
So, the way the fish trap
works is you create this cone.
491
00:23:57,904 --> 00:23:59,370
Fish are gonna enter.
492
00:23:59,372 --> 00:24:02,440
They're gonna enter
this kind of cage or trap.
493
00:24:02,442 --> 00:24:04,976
Once they pass through there
and they're in the actual trap,
494
00:24:04,978 --> 00:24:06,978
because of some sort
of nature of the fish,
495
00:24:06,980 --> 00:24:08,980
they don't swim right
back out the middle,
496
00:24:08,982 --> 00:24:10,915
and therefore, people
are able to trap fish.
497
00:24:10,917 --> 00:24:12,316
So, you're going up and over one
498
00:24:12,318 --> 00:24:13,584
and then down
and around the next
499
00:24:13,586 --> 00:24:15,386
and up and over one
and down around the next?
500
00:24:15,388 --> 00:24:17,655
It's not really a weave.
I'm just tying them on.
501
00:24:17,657 --> 00:24:20,057
Lisa and I are falling
into different roles,
502
00:24:20,059 --> 00:24:22,393
and I think her
experience with trapping
503
00:24:22,395 --> 00:24:23,928
is a little bit minimal.
504
00:24:23,930 --> 00:24:26,063
Right now, my strength
is in making the fish traps,
505
00:24:26,065 --> 00:24:27,332
making the turkey traps,
506
00:24:27,334 --> 00:24:29,934
to make sure that they
are as perfect as possible.

Tom: Now, when the
turkey comes through
513
00:24:44,484 --> 00:24:47,818
and he's pecking at the
ground, he's gonna hit this stick,
514
00:24:47,820 --> 00:24:49,887
releasing the toggle,
515
00:24:49,889 --> 00:24:53,357
which is gonna tighten the
noose around the turkey's head.
516
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,360
Trapping is an absolute art.
517
00:24:55,362 --> 00:24:58,095
It takes years to
get good at trapping.
518
00:24:58,097 --> 00:25:00,498

694
00:35:45,745 --> 00:35:47,144
and the concept of teamwork.
695
00:35:47,146 --> 00:35:49,212
While less skilled
than her teammate,
696
00:35:49,214 --> 00:35:51,081
lisa has demonstrated
great patience
697
00:35:51,083 --> 00:35:53,751
as well as a willingness to
put the success of the team
698
00:35:53,753 --> 00:35:55,419
over her own sense of pride.
699
00:35:55,421 --> 00:35:56,754
Their overall performance
700
00:35:56,756 --> 00:35:59,089
will be re-evaluated at
the end of the challenge,
701
00:35:59,091 --> 00:36:01,525
and their psrs will be
adjusted accordingly.
702
00:36:12,438 --> 00:36:15,472
I'm really cold.
703
00:36:29,788 --> 00:36:32,389
Narrator: The storm
rages into the evening,
704
00:36:32,391 --> 00:36:35,192
and temperatures fall
into the coldest yet --
705
00:36:35,194 --> 00:36:36,793
the low 40s.
706
00:36:36,795 --> 00:36:40,164
Lisa and tom's bodies are
on the verge of hypothermia.
707
00:37:01,086 --> 00:37:03,020
It's so freaking cold right now.
708
00:37:03,022 --> 00:37:05,955
I'm surprised we
made it this far.
709
00:37:05,957 --> 00:37:10,027
Definitely concerned
about myself and about lisa.
710
00:37:10,029 --> 00:37:13,296
It's really just bone
chilling right now.
711
00:37:13,298 --> 00:37:18,969
Hoping that, you know,
night doesn't get any colder.
712
00:37:18,971 --> 00:37:20,370
A few hours later,
713
00:37:20,372 --> 00:37:23,907
temperatures drop to
their lowest in three weeks.
714
00:37:27,646 --> 00:37:31,981
Got about two or three
hours to go, hopefully less.
715
00:37:31,983 --> 00:37:35,452
We don't really know, but
things are dismal right now.
716
00:37:35,454 --> 00:37:39,156
I can only hope
morning comes soon.
717
00:37:48,734 --> 00:37:51,134
Tom: It's day 21.
718
00:37:51,136 --> 00:37:54,738
Last night was probably the
toughest thing I've ever done.
719
00:37:54,740 --> 00:37:58,208
Just sitting there being
cold and wanting to tap
720
00:37:58,210 --> 00:38:00,677
and knowing that it's right
within reach if I wanted to.
721
00:38:00,679 --> 00:38:03,413
Narrator: To reach
their extraction point,
722
00:38:03,415 --> 00:38:06,216
lisa and tom still face
a difficult five-mile trek
723
00:38:06,218 --> 00:38:09,086
through thick jungle
and overflowing streams.
724
00:38:09,088 --> 00:38:11,622
Lisa: Last night was
my breaking point.
725
00:38:11,624 --> 00:38:13,891
I needed a lot
of help last night.
726
00:38:13,893 --> 00:38:15,491
Tom was a huge help.
727
00:38:15,493 --> 00:38:18,161
He kept me going,
he kept talking to me,
728
00:38:18,163 --> 00:38:21,698
and now we're on
to our extraction site.
729
00:38:24,236 --> 00:38:25,903
Watch these thorns
to the right here.
730
00:38:25,905 --> 00:38:27,037
Okay.
731
00:38:27,039 --> 00:38:29,807
Just ignore the pain.
732
00:38:32,378 --> 00:38:36,246
Couldn't be doing
this without you, tom.
733
00:38:36,248 --> 00:38:37,714
You holding up okay?
734
00:38:37,716 --> 00:38:39,082
Doing all right.
735
00:38:39,084 --> 00:38:40,517
Watch this one.
It's thorny as hell.
736
00:38:40,519 --> 00:38:41,517
Okay.
737
00:38:41,519 --> 00:38:42,653
We're doing great.
738
00:38:42,655 --> 00:38:43,720
Ow!
739
00:38:43,722 --> 00:38:45,455
Sounds like the
river's right up there.
740
00:38:45,457 --> 00:38:46,456
It's getting louder.
741
00:38:46,458 --> 00:38:48,525
Maybe this is the place.
742
00:38:48,527 --> 00:38:49,960
I think it's gonna have to be.
743
00:38:54,133 --> 00:38:55,632
Oh.
744
00:38:55,634 --> 00:38:57,934
Narrator: The intense
rains of the past three weeks
745
00:38:57,936 --> 00:38:59,403
have caused the rivers to swell
746
00:38:59,405 --> 00:39:01,738
and flow at speeds of
over 20 miles per hour.
747
00:39:01,740 --> 00:39:03,407
In their weakened condition,
748
00:39:03,409 --> 00:39:05,943
one slip could wash
them away downriver.
749
00:39:05,945 --> 00:39:07,611
All right, you up for this?
750
00:39:07,613 --> 00:39:10,147
Yeah, man. Just be real careful.
751
00:39:10,149 --> 00:39:12,015
That's a lot of water moving.
752
00:39:12,017 --> 00:39:13,549
All right, real solid
foot placement.
753
00:39:13,551 --> 00:39:17,287
Just be real careful, dude.
This is not the time to slip.
754
00:39:17,289 --> 00:39:19,489
If you need me, just
yell and I'll reach for you.
755
00:39:19,491 --> 00:39:20,490
All right.
756
00:39:20,492 --> 00:39:21,892
Right behind me?
757
00:39:21,894 --> 00:39:24,328
I'm right behind you. Okay.
758
00:39:25,697 --> 00:39:27,230
Oh, it's cold.
759
00:39:27,232 --> 00:39:29,766
How you doing? You all right?
760
00:39:29,768 --> 00:39:31,034
Staying close behind you.
761
00:39:31,036 --> 00:39:33,236
Yep. Grab a hand.
762
00:39:33,238 --> 00:39:34,771
You okay? Okay.
763
00:39:34,773 --> 00:39:38,441
Got a little push.
764
00:39:38,443 --> 00:39:40,376
Okay, coming up right
here. You okay? Stable?
765
00:39:40,378 --> 00:39:41,778
I'm all right so far.
766
00:39:41,780 --> 00:39:43,246
Stay there? Yeah.
767
00:39:43,248 --> 00:39:45,382
Yeah! Nice, lisa. All right.
768
00:39:45,384 --> 00:39:47,618
Whoo! Made it across.
769
00:39:50,455 --> 00:39:52,522
Tom: Oh, there it is. Nice.
770
00:39:52,524 --> 00:39:55,191
Ah, yes! Yes! Whoo!
771
00:39:55,193 --> 00:39:57,060
Tom: For me, being
out in the woods
772
00:39:57,062 --> 00:39:59,529
has always been
somewhat of a loner activity.
773
00:39:59,531 --> 00:40:01,865
But after everything lisa
and I have been through,
774
00:40:01,867 --> 00:40:03,266
we've become such a team
775
00:40:03,268 --> 00:40:06,203
that it seems really nice
to, you know, care about
776
00:40:06,205 --> 00:40:07,270
and worry about the other
777
00:40:07,272 --> 00:40:08,405
and make sure
that they're gonna be
778
00:40:08,407 --> 00:40:10,474
just as successful as you are.
779
00:40:10,476 --> 00:40:12,809
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
780
00:40:12,811 --> 00:40:15,345
Lisa: I think it would take
a significant amount of ego
781
00:40:15,347 --> 00:40:18,147
to say that this makes
me an expert survivalist.
782
00:40:18,149 --> 00:40:19,215
I still have a lot to learn,
783
00:40:19,217 --> 00:40:20,817
but then when
the chips are down,
784
00:40:20,819 --> 00:40:22,151
I am pretty tough.
785
00:40:22,153 --> 00:40:24,087
Oh, we did it!
786
00:40:24,089 --> 00:40:26,223
We did it! We did it! We
did it! We did it! We did it!
787
00:40:26,225 --> 00:40:27,890
Let's get out of here!
Goodbye, yungas!
788
00:40:27,892 --> 00:40:29,225
Bye, yungas!
789
00:40:29,227 --> 00:40:31,094
I will not miss being
cold, but I will miss you.
790
00:40:31,096 --> 00:40:35,231
Oh, thank you so much!
Thank you so much!
791
00:40:35,233 --> 00:40:37,634
Narrator: Surviving the
unprecedented conditions
792
00:40:37,636 --> 00:40:39,102
in the mountains of argentina
793
00:40:39,104 --> 00:40:41,304
took an exceptional
physical and emotional toll
794
00:40:41,306 --> 00:40:42,505
on the survivalists.
795
00:40:42,507 --> 00:40:45,175
Over the course of the
wet and frigid 21 days,
796
00:40:45,177 --> 00:40:47,110
tom lost a total of 30 pounds,
797
00:40:47,112 --> 00:40:49,446
while lisa lost 26 pounds.
798
00:40:49,448 --> 00:40:52,449
Tom was slow to realize the
benefits of working as a team,
799
00:40:52,451 --> 00:40:54,584
and even with
his superior skills,
800
00:40:54,586 --> 00:40:56,653
he struggled mightily
with the extreme cold.
801
00:40:56,655 --> 00:40:59,055
Despite having less
experience than tom,
802
00:40:59,057 --> 00:41:00,924
lisa's preparations
before the challenge
803
00:41:00,926 --> 00:41:02,525
helped her handle the cold,
804
00:41:02,527 --> 00:41:04,328
and she exhibited
great mental fortitude
805
00:41:04,330 --> 00:41:07,330
in cultivating a positive
working relationship with tom.
806
00:41:07,332 --> 00:41:12,201
As a result, lisa's psr score
improves from 6.8 to 7.4,
807
00:41:12,203 --> 00:41:15,472
while tom's drops
from an 8.4 to a 7.9.
808
00:41:17,476 --> 00:41:20,610
Lisa: First thing that
happened after I got back
809
00:41:20,612 --> 00:41:23,079
was realizing how
crazy I smelled.
810
00:41:23,081 --> 00:41:24,881
I smelled very, very strange.
811
00:41:24,883 --> 00:41:26,883
Yes, I know. Yes, I know. Hi.
812
00:41:26,885 --> 00:41:28,952
Wasn't just, like, smelled
bad. I smelled different.
813
00:41:28,954 --> 00:41:30,219
It was weird.
814
00:41:30,221 --> 00:41:35,959
Morning. It's day
22, and it's so cold.
815
00:41:35,961 --> 00:41:37,561
Just kidding.
816
00:41:37,563 --> 00:41:40,764
You know, seeing my girlfriend
when I got back from the trip
817
00:41:40,766 --> 00:41:42,165
was just, you know,
it was amazing.
818
00:41:42,167 --> 00:41:43,400
And it was really
good to see her.
819

scores and differences,
821
00:41:47,639 --> 00:41:48,838
they were still able to overcome
822
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:50,373
one of the most
challenging locations
823

in "naked and afraid" history,
824
00:41:52,044 --> 00:41:54,911
and prove they have
what it takes to survive...
