My name is Bear Grylls.

I served in the British Special Forces;

I climbed Mount Everest;

And crossed the frozen oceans in the Arctic.

Now, I'm traveling to the Moab Desert in Utah.

This landscape is desert lendaria most dangerous of North America

With temperatures and punishing some the most dangerous creatures in the world

Where rescuers effecting one hundred rescue missions a year

in search of lost tourists.

Now. I'll show Ihe how to survive here!

Deadliest Catch

Subtitles : SantaFe

This is the desert of Moab

Nearly 9,000 km ? Of canyons, arches and vertical cliffs

Every year 1 million people visit these wild lands.

Where to take a wrong path let fatally lost.

I'll put myself in the position of a person in need of rescue

Few miles ahead the pilot let me in the middle of the desert

And I'll be in the same situation any tourist who has lost

The only things that will take you:

A canteen, a knife and a flint to fire.

And I'll show Ihe how you can survive

In one of the most inhospitable Earth.

A film crew will accompany me

While I try to escape this desert land.

The updrafts of hot air are so powerful here ...

... that is very risky landing the helicopter.

Then there is only one way to fall.

For abseiling.

We're standing around a 30 meters from the ground up

And even this far ...

... I can feel the heat emanates from the soil.

... is as if already down there!

I've done this before and is dangerous.

A mistake. It is fatal.

Let's go.

I need to get out of here fast!

The helicopter is being shaken because of the strong currents of air.

And I need to get rid of that rope ...

RAPIDO!

Just another e. ..

PRONTO!

FREE!

I am at 1200 meters above sea level

On top of a hill like a table.

It really is very desert here

And very, very hot!

The heat is really amazing!

They are about 45 ? C

The most lethal in the desert are drowning and dehydration.

And how this can happen very quickly!

In this situation the best advice is stand still.

Shelter in the shade and wait for rescue.

But sometimes, the help does not come.

So, I'll find my way out of here,

I know there are two rivers crossing the Moab.

The Colorado and Green

Find one be the key to get out of here

This desert is full of canyons and dry river beds

And if I go down to one, and follow it.

I can eventually get to a river.

Then eventually to civilization.

Plants need water.

Then signs of vegetation I can indicate that there is water nearby.

But as far as I can see ...

There is no sign of vegetation anywhere.

Yet. What I see is what appears to be a remote canyon

And at the bottom of that canyon I find shade.

There may be water inside the canyons

Streams that lead us to great rivers

So that is where we will follow.

My priority at the moment

It is out of the top of the rock

But out here, is more difficult than it looks

The biggest difficulty is that all this rock is made of sandstone

And the sandstone is very brittle and loose

And very, very unstable.

And one thing I know is that the descent is the most dangerous part of climbing

The risk a fall like that

Are you put yourself in a position where you can not climb ...

Or down!

When this happens

You can hang the rock

In 1998 a traveler named William Mc'Qeen hung in one of these faces and near here

He took up where he

Then plunged to his death

If this happens. I show a technique I learned in the military

That will help you jump from a height up to 5 meters

The idea is when you jump, keep your feet together

And when you touch the ground rolls distribute the impact across your legs and back

It is noon. And the sun punishes with all his strength

So I have to get to the shadow of canyon as quickly as possible.

Only in being exposed to heat from 45 ? C your body loses 1 Lt of water per hour

So we have to think twice before walking, climbing or even move.

The longer the exposure sun calsticante

The greater the danger!

And the most important part of the body must keep cool

It's head and the brain.

I remember now a very good tuque

A type of capus, or makeshift umbrella.

E..

I can use this white T-shirt

Just cut one side of it

And cut all the way down here

As you can see ...

So I opened it that geito

Then I got a good piece of fabric here.

And all I have to do now it is rolling around my head

And if I hold it well in my forehead

Putting around and hold

And around my face.

Now hold here

And it will protect from the sun

And I avoid fry today!

You to have an idea of how much heat is dangerous

The internal temperature of the body is usually around 36.5 ? C

When body temperature reaches 40.5 ? C the body collapses

When this happens. You begin to have delusions;

The body will enter into convulsions and coma.

I do not know if you can see it but this whole place ...

... really Mother Nature has been almost ruthless ...

... and the desert is really one of most difficult places in the world

To survive any period of time.

This whole area was once covered by a sea not very deep, so full of life

That was 200 million years ago

But now he barely gets 220 ml of rain year.

And all the creatures that have lived here

Extinct.

And I do not want to join them.

I got to the canyon I was looking for

And there's a good chance there water down there

Why have plants and shade

My only problem ...

... is how to get down there!

I was abandoned in the middle Moab Desert in Utah

One of the driest places in North America

And I'll show you how to survive Ihe leading only a canteen, a knife and a flint

I hope to find water in bottom of canyon

A stream that leads me to a river.

And back to civilization.

But first, I need to find one way down

You can not cling to these edges.

And it is very broad pra through with a jump

But if I can use this huge stone a bridge

I should get one way to get the other side

But I have to be extremely careful this crossing because ...

... this stone may be a little unstable. And this sandstone is very brittle

And like I said ...

... this is a long descent way down.

The climber Aron Rauston, Utah, was arrested by a rock like this

That fell on him in such a canyon.

To escape. He cut his own arm off with a pocket knife.

The secret to climbing is always left to least three points of contact ...

... with the rock

And always use the power of his legs boost

And avoid, as much as you can, tire your arms

I got through. But I still need find one way to fall

And if I do not find water soon. I run the serious risk of dehydration

Like all the risks that you have seen by these paths

Someone who can get lost here lost consciousness at 12am

And die in 24 hours.

I'm here just 5 hours.

La Lonja. At the bottom of that canyon. I must find water. Somewhere.

The canyon follows downhill.

And that's the way that water usually take

So this is where I go!

There is at least a thousand of these canyons in Moab

Some of them with only a few meters wide

They are known as: Slot canyons

The shadow down here. Let the temperature with at least 20 to less

Than in the desert above us

A great way to find water these canyons is looking for ...

... portions of vegetation because water keeps plants alive

And that's really a good example of living on the edge.

A small bush like that is capable of sugar 75 Lts of water per day

What is deposited in underground chambers water

And that's a good sign that there may be a source of water somewhere nearby

And here it is! But there is a problem

Is stale. You can see that there is an animal dead. This water is stagnant.

You definitely will not want to drink this water.

Just one sip will leave me seriously ill

But there's a good chance of that canyon take me to a river

If I follow you this may be my exit route

But my path is obstructed by the water

To Hovby I would have to redo all my steps. And had to return enough.

So I'll try to cross

This water is surprisingly very cold. And that's weird because ...

... out of this canyon is a hot desert ...

... but ...

... here where there is sun is actually ... ... Freeze!

But I have no choice. I have to move on.

In fact the temperature of the water in this pool is around 10 ? C

But the greatest danger in these canyons are flash floods.

A storm hundreds of miles here you can send tons of water and pours them subtle bitterness here

A few years ago. A group of 12 tourists was killed in Arizona ...

... when the canyon was where they were, subtle, flooding by a flash flood.

Oh This part here is close blocked now!

For these debris

And it may have been done by a flood lightning come down here e. ..

... deposited in the rubble narrowing.

I can not climb on these walls because it is very slippery

And the walls of the canyon are not leanin scalar

If you stay in this water for at at least 2 hours

Internal temperature can drop to below 35 ? C

And hypothermia come

There is only one way to get out of here

E. ..

... I think I should go back

... but ...

If you find yourself in a situation like this. And people often get stuck as

You have to analyze it easy.

You could Natar underneath but the danger is ...

Not knowing how far ...

... how far is the output.

But the technique to do this is: really deep breath ...

... and slow. For some time before diving.

Because you lower the level of carbon dioxide in your body ...

... and thus decrease their heart

So be cautious and keep calm.

So ... ... Come on!

I saw the light and thought it was the exit!

More about 5 seconds and I would have

I'll try again

4 minutes is the maximum time that someone asks hold your breath.

But with the water at that temperature, I managed by more than 30 seconds

Alright! I went through that!

Oh It's so cold! I have to leave!

Holding my breath under water really demanded much of me.

But now I have another obstacle.

I arrived at a dead end and has no other geito out

I swam for a flooded canyon hoping he take me to a river and civilization

The water down here is really freezing and polluted by dead animals

But now I have another problem ...

... I came to a dead end. And has other geito out ...

Except: or go back!

There is only one way out of a canyon when it becomes very narrow

Use what is called "Chimney Climb

This is a technique originally developed to climb wells

But it is very dangerous. And I need to be careful

And this thing is very ...

... very high!

This type of sandstone is called "Slick Rock"

Because when it is wet it is as slippery as soap

My hiking boots have difficulty pra join here

And if I fall. It will be a fall and so much!

The technique to do this is: Keep your back against the rock

With one leg behind and the other in front

Do not stop.

Keep the pressure on the front and back

Until you are ...

... safe.

I will support my knees here and a rest

Expect the blood back into the arms

But that rock is getting more compliant now than below, where it was wet ...

... and it was very slippery.

Now is much better and I can ...

... boost very good!

I can close my hand and hold it in that gap at the top ...

... and I can use it as a support ...

... catch me ...

... lack little to achieve ...

... and just put my hand inside ... ... and close the pulse

Now I can hold out and

My plan to follow the canyon to a river failed!

And now back to the desert heat it seems that I got a furnace

And I have not any emcontrei water supply

Before I think about a new plan I need to get out of sun ...

But the shadow is a nearest outcrop Rocky about an hour away

Where can I find a cave

In the heat of the midday ...

... even if the hood decreases the heat

I need to think of one way to keep my head cold

And what can I do then is to take it ...

... and then ...

... then urinate on it.

And that is very disgusting but ...

... my goal is not to be smelly!

Ah Good!

But luckily ...

It is better to save the urine in the hair than fully baldie!

And that urine very, very yellow is a sign that I'm really getting dehydrated now

But at least ...

... that should keep my head colder now.

And when my hair is not my priority.

And yes the smell is great! "

But this is very good and refreshing!

Much better!

This hood will keep me cool for a while but I desperately need a shelter

Oh I'm so relieved find that cave!

But I also have to be very careful

Why are desert animals can also have had the same idea ...

... looking for shade. And especially ...

... species of snakes.

Indeed for snakes, being in the desert in the heat of the day

Means death

They need shade

And a good way for you to know is ...

... you throw a few stones inside.

Take a good look before entering

But this cave is perfect for me

Yes is clean.

Last year "Mountain Biker" called Curt Rogers

It was go hiking in Moab in a heat of 40 ? C

He took a wrong turn and got lost

The next day his body was found the 40 kilometers of track

Killed by heat exhaustion.

Shelter in caves like this, can literally save your life.

I'll try to relax a little here and continue when the day is cooler

Just dawn.

The best hour to travel to the desert.

And my priority is still to find water.

And it's always a good idea. On rising in the morning

Any clothing or boots that you have taken

Before getting them back, take a good shake them

Because scorpions love to hide in cold and dark places

After drinking my last sips of water, I need desperately to fill my canteen

One trick is to listen insects

Bees and mosquitoes always live near water.

If I can find any of the two, maybe they take me to a source

I hear somewhere that gallery

And this is exactly the kind of place they like, is cold and dark

And the floor is probably a little also inclined

The sound of insects is a good sign that I I am approaching water

That's what I was looking for

This mark is mineral deposit

This indicates that there is a leak somewhere place near

The water penetrated the rock and came out here

And you really can see that small puddle of water at the base

And what happens is that it fills and then water flows through here

What if I just take a little of that

And then repressing it

And prevent water from flowing

I'll get some water there

Probably in a few minutes will be full

And now I just need to find a geito power drink

I'm looking for a plant called: "Trumpet Flower" (Trumpet Flower)

Native Americans use it as a straw because it is hollow inside

Can I use this as a straw for ...

... that sugar water, but I have to be very careful pra cuts this ...

... if I try to break it will fall apart. Then I cut around the bottom ...

... and then the same above.

Now yes I can break. And he will leave full

And that will be great!

The reservoir was filled with water and now I can use the straw to suck

But best of all this process where water seeps through the rock

Actually means, even if it appears through dirty, the water is well filtered

And that water is even better than the that drinking water in most cities

When you are dehydrated, it is important you drink slowly

For drinking water very fast, make you vomit.

Ah Good!

I rehydrate and my water bottle is full again

Now, I need a new plan to get out of this desert

And the best geito to find a route, is to observe the earth from a higher point

What I'm looking for is some sign of vegetation, you know, trees or shrubs.

And I do not know if you can see it but ma is a line of vegetation and there

And it signals a river. And in the desert climate, near a river, there is always nearby homes

It did not seem so far away, but the way is far from flat

So I'll try to find some food before trying to get there

I'm getting really hungry now

And I need something that can give me give me a little energy

Something to eat.

And this is precisely the kind of place, these small galleries ...

... where birds and crows nest.

And if I can find algun nest here that ...

... That would be fantastic!

Catch a bird without a trap is impossible

But I can get some eggs

The droppings of the birds may indicate the location

There are eggshells here, what it means ...

... that there is definitely a nest around here.

Up here

Another piece here

Should be well up there

Here it is!

And it looks like ...

... looks like a nest hatched here.

These eggs are great. They seem to be ...

... appear to be eggs of crows.

And what the crows do is scare the birds children who made this nest e. ..

... then leave their own eggs in it.

By the way, I'll eat one now and leave the other to later

All bird eggs are edible. Even the bark is a good source of calcium.

And I'm so hungry I can hardly wait to eat the other

But there is also the risk of contracting salmonella.

So I'll try to cook the other

We are probably with a 48 ? C now here in the heat ...

... and this is without doubt, one of the places hottest I've been in my life

Well That was one of the best fried eggs I've tasted in my life!

I can see the river at a distance and I just hope the strength enough to reach it

I think the river that I see on the horizon, is still almost a day's walk

But when the landscape is uneven, is easy to walk in circles

So I'll use a local plan pra guide me in a straight line

Ohem for that. It is a kind of small "Cactus Compass"!

And the law is that they can actually indicate the same direction

And one thing I know is that they tend growing pointed towards the south

And to show how dry and poor is that soil nutrients

This small cactus took about seventeen years just to reach this size

But you should note the other proximos this to see if they grow in the same direction ...

... because this is a great sign that the South is that way

And now that I know where south is, I can keep straight ...

... while I go to that river.

The Moab is part of the great desert wilderness of "Great Basin"

The largest desert in the United States and the largest Northern Hemisphere

Where you experience extreme changes in temperature

Because the night the temperature can drop to below 4 ? C

The heat of the day is beginning to pass

Thank God!

But in a few hours will begin to get really cold

I need material to make a fire

It has much stick to reach everywhere, but you have to be very careful

Because the snakes, which camouflage themselves well ...

... underground.

With the temperature falling ...

... I need to make a fire as fast as possible

But the setting sun is also the best time to hunt food

The Moab is also home to dozens of species snakes and they are all edible

I'll try to catch one for dinner

I'm seeing if ...

... I can find something ...

... to eat.

To restore at least some calories I lost here

Oh And snakes really hate the heat of the day

They are holed up there hidden in the shadows

But this is the time of night hunters

Go out for food

Like me!

Look! Look!

Here we go!

A small rattlesnake

And this is a good sign ...

... a good sign that there is a rattlesnake around.

Pra capture the snake, use a rock pra hit it

Then hold your head on the ground with a stick, skull and crush

This is a "Faded miget" (Little off)

It is called "Faded Midget" because patterns on their skin are very ...

... difficult to see, are very sedate. And she uses this camouflage ...

... brilliantly across the sand and rocks

This is a highly poisonous species

And you have to be very careful with these "guys"

Wow Hear that rattle!

Esso is a warning saying Get away!

She is staring at me here

The bite of this snake, if not treated immediately, can lead to death

In a situation of life or death I would to kill the snake to survive

But the "Feded Midget" is a protected species

That night, I'll be hungry

Snakes are not the only creatures that come out at night

Mountain lions make their hunting also in the dark

They are extremely rare

But this is exactly the type of terrain they like

My number one priority is: make a fire to protect me

It will keep me warm and protected these predators

It was clearly too cold now

But I have a mess nest very good here

'll Put it next to the sticks

And I use my knives, I try always bring with me

And I'll throw it on the fire while the fire still small

It's amazing when you are alone, how you only boosts forces by having a fire

I'm calling ...

... connecting the camera night because ...

... I do not know if you can hear it but ...

... you hear that?!

But definitely has something ...

... definitely has something making noise outside e. ..

... the idea of another rattlesnake ...

... listen up! Listen.

Another small rattlesnake approaching cave or can be ...

... only a non-venomous species that engalha its tail in dry arburtos ...

... to imitate the sound of rattlesnakes.

I do not want to go out and risk let one of them

through the fire here

But maybe I was scared to make a noise beating with a bottle

This is because the snakes do not like Vibration

They turn away because of it.

Then I'll signal to her that I 'm here

With rattlesnakes around, this will be a long night.

I've been traveling for three days through desert of Moab ...

... looking for a river

And finally I can see signs of I'm getting close

I came to an area of dense vegetation

And the shrubs around me, can you give me a clue how much I still have to go

All these trees love water.

And they tell me ...

... there must be a river close to home now.

And here it is.

And there is also a windmill on the other hand, so I hope ...

... that there will be a house or something.

Around here.

I'm pretty sure that there is only one river that size in Moab

It's Colorado.

One of the most dangerous rivers of America

He asks look calm, but below surface currents are powerful

Every year unsuspecting tourists are loaded and drown

And on its banks there are puddles of mud may contain sand movedissa

Cowboys are very careful with sand movedissa when the cattle are

along the banks of the river, just it is very easy cattle die in this thing

They come down here and begin to Depato. And the more they struggle, but sinks

But if you fall into a sand movedissa I I will teach you how to get out

I feel that more when I sink I try to pull my leg it out

And if I start to move me so you can see how I get to sink it

And geito out of this is to stop fighting

And then try to lift your body

Try to get to the surface by changing the angle.

And then, calmly, pull your leg it out

Try to creep me out

Ok! Now I'm on the surface. I thenar creep you out ...

... of sand that movedissa what.

And that's why ...

... gotta I just leave this river.

And now I have to cross it

The good thing is that I get rid of horrible mud

But I need five minutes at the minimum

The windmill on the other hand, is me saying that I can not be far from civilization

But to get there I have to swim Colorado River

The geito crossing wide rivers like this

The swim diagonally with the current

Why is this river current is so strong ...

... it is impossible to swim against it.

The current is very fast

I'm being taken very fast ...

... downstream!

I just hope there's someone there

I know there are small communities that survive on the river that crosses the Moab

Wherever there is a river in a desert

Certainly have a civilization to along its banks

I feel now that my journey through this striking landscape

It's almost gone

If I learn something here ...

... is how fast this arid, dry infernal desert, can suck the life from you.

And they say that only the strongest and lucky survive.

But I do not feel very strong

In fact I feel very tired!

But I feel lucky!

And for me, definitely it's time going home
