00:05:32this oh yes a pod so important yeah looks like we got a fire starter that's gonna come in handy
00:05:40too
00:05:40out here yes and we have the handy dandy map i've been waiting for this oh yeah where are you
00:05:46thinking
00:05:47oh yeah we'll just head north and check this water and hole out there's looks like a change in terrain
00:05:51but there's plenty of wood water course and yeah resources and hopefully food can't wait can't wait let's
00:05:58do it happen let's roll super fans nicole and andrew will attempt to survive 14 days
00:06:11in zambia's luonga river valley a vast african wilderness which holds the highest concentration
00:06:18of carnivores in zambia here many of the continent's big game including elephants leopards
00:06:29lions nile crocs and hyena roam in the thorn ridden grasslands
00:06:37the sub-saharan wasteland is now nearing the end of its long dry season with daytime temperatures
00:06:43approaching triple digits and suffocating humidity animals are gathering at dwindling water holes
00:06:49desperate for scarce water and resources
00:06:56a big thorn bush here so be careful on both sides
00:07:01yeah they come out of nowhere huh yeah you kind of learn to look for them after they get you
00:07:05a couple
00:07:05times oh are you okay yep just got a thorn in the nipple i don't want another piercing today
00:07:16i got some dropping some scat here uh i see an elephant track here which is crazy well they have
00:07:26the same thing in common as with us is they're uh going to water i guess they're going to water
00:07:31we are literally in a zoo with no cage no borders yes yes welcome to africa
00:07:43i can definitely feel like the mugginess starting to come out a little well yeah i've never been this
00:07:48thirsty in my life but with the heat out here i've been nauseous all day the past 10 minutes i
00:07:53feel a
00:07:54little dizzy yeah it is hot i am sweating a ton i never knew just a few hours could drain
00:08:02you so much
00:08:08need water dehydration can kill you absolutely it's going to be critical to find a water source
00:08:15relatively soon with this heat and the sun beating on us um it's going to suck us dry really fast
00:08:21we gotta be coming close yeah all signs point to we gotta be getting close water i see water there's
00:08:31water so that's life all right so yeah there's plenty of water hopefully there's some some fish
00:08:38in here and one of those in crocs yeah i think i'm more worried about the big stuff that comes
00:08:43and drinks it
00:08:44yeah
00:08:56let's fill this guy up i'm feeling dehydrated i need some water i think we need to figure out what
00:09:02we
00:09:02want to do as far as a shelter and where we want to kind of put a base camp let's
00:09:06go look and see
00:09:08where we want to put our home
00:09:13even though we have predators here we see the tracks we don't have a lot of time but it is
00:09:17crucial to
00:09:17build a sturdy boma to make sure that when the predators too come around and they're they feel
00:09:21confident to be here that we're ready for them it looks like either oh i like this big time animal
00:09:27trails here right through i think if we block it off though i love the shade we're going to need
00:09:34that
00:09:35being so hot with the sun i think if we clear this out and we just kind of like uh
00:09:42we can use this as
00:09:43a lean-to later from the rain but and we can even just kind of bend those trees yeah all
00:09:49right i'm gonna
00:09:49get us some firewood i think start this fire get us some water going yeah let me just kind of
00:09:56get
00:09:56things going and oh yeah see how well i can do
00:10:02as a fan i have seen this moment so many times and the fact that i am sitting here doing
00:10:07this right
00:10:08right now is just unreal
00:10:10should start right up
00:10:30oh this brings me happiness
00:10:46i'm already starting to feel a little nauseous from the track i feel a little bit of a headache
00:10:52come on so i know water is crucial oh come on hold it in
00:11:01oh i try not to get sick here andrew oh no yeah i felt a little nauseous earlier and
00:11:06you want to sit down for a second and now i got better so you want to maybe feed this
00:11:11fire yeah
00:11:12i got you i got you worried about my partner getting sick right off the bat
00:11:19the insertion hike was incredibly draining i am already dehydrated that does not put me in a good
00:11:25state on day one okay yeah feeling bad again take a break
00:11:58andrew and i underestimated what a hike in the heat with no clothes on can do
00:12:08so now that we know our limitations with that heat we're just going to have to work smarter
00:12:21our first pot of water here in africa
00:12:28it is crucial that i find the power in me to drink as much water as i can tonight to
00:12:36replenish what i've
00:12:37already lost
00:12:41yeah yeah oh that is amazing yeah this is africa with the heat and the humidity the biggest concerns
00:12:49for surviving here are you know water water water uh make sure we've got that system in place and we
00:12:55have
00:12:55that all right all right good job you did that thank you
00:13:08we gotta finish this boma before it gets dark i don't want animal creeping in at night because africa
00:13:18everything wants to kill you
00:13:23because i've watched episodes of africa i know the shelters that need to be made i know the resources
00:13:29that can be found here and how to find them as quickly and burn as less energy as possible to
00:13:35do so
00:13:43home sweet home
00:13:47how do you like that no it's great you're great we got this that's right hopefully we'll get a good
00:13:51night sleep tonight and keep on going
00:14:06ah we made it through the first day out in the wild i have never done anything like this
00:14:13that's yeah it's insane we are cray cray but we're doing it
00:14:35our first night was in the books i'm gonna use the knife
00:14:45oh my god andrew scorpion grab that knife oh come back here where'd you go
00:14:51all right he's under there i didn't let him go but
00:14:57it's like a brown like um probably about this big oh wow yeah it was a good size one wasn't
00:15:05one of the
00:15:05little small ones watch your hands though because he was running that way
00:15:13i've got to be careful his ass is venomous that's crazy to think that these are just sitting in our
00:15:17shelter and i was sleeping right there yeah a sting from a scorpion will take us out of the challenge
00:15:26oh my god if we cannot get him there is no way i'm sleeping here tonight
00:15:37i'll keep on the lookout yeah i'll have a stick ready you still take the knife i'll have a stick
00:15:42ready and i'll get that son of a bitch we'll get him the scorpion and the boma that gives us
00:15:48a new
00:15:49unlocked fear i see him again i am not letting you go be careful nicole
00:15:57oh right here right here i got him
00:16:01all right so i'm gonna go ahead and just cut him in half
00:16:05and be done with it yeah and then we gotta get that tail yeah but i'll move him at least
00:16:11he's
00:16:11gonna die now scorpions can take you out that can be a game changer and end me real fast
00:16:17he was literally like right where your head was yeah so imagine getting stung in the head or on the
00:16:21face no one of these we'd be like in serious pain or done yeah that'd be it just one something
00:16:27that
00:16:27simple that small change everything
00:16:44i think our plans are to get some stuff done and see if this is a protein source or not
00:16:49yeah i definitely think throw something out there just to see what we got and then while you do that
00:16:54i'll work on putting up a snare yes how's that this sounds good because if there's no protein source
00:17:00here then we got to reevaluate some things thinking of food you know right now with the heat and the
00:17:06humidity and all that you'll never have enough calories out here we have to try to get something
00:17:11we're gonna hook up a trot line with a little bug at the end of it and with this one
00:17:17the idea is to
00:17:18the catfish is going to be swimming smelling trying to find something nasty to eat he'll come on to
00:17:23this chomp on it it'll be attached to the tree i've been fishing all throughout my whole life you know
00:17:29there's a lot of lakes and rivers where i come from so give me a body of water i catch
00:17:34fish
00:17:41now we just wait
00:17:52all right so this is the muponi tree and i want some cordage from it my goal for today is
00:17:59to get
00:17:59as much cordage as i can set my snare now i'm gonna catch something i'm gonna work on some really
00:18:06like
00:18:06fine small weaved ones for more of the little game out here
00:18:17this muponi tree is definitely great for cordage like i can't get that off even if i wanted to
00:18:26but it dries out very quickly so you want to just make sure that it stays moist until it's ready
00:18:32to be
00:18:32used i've never actually killed anything but out here it's survival so let's go let's do this
00:18:39i'm looking for the rabbits uh birds whatever small game they have here i just got to find their
00:18:46paths oh i think i found one i like all right so i have my noose right here okay
00:18:55then i have my tree right here my anchor tree something small this will be fine
00:19:02a slipknot snare is used for trapping small game and birds
00:19:05when they enter the noose which is propped open with short sticks they become trapped as they
00:19:11struggle to get free this has got to work and now we hope for the best
00:19:24yeah so this is first time trying to score protein this is always a big moment if you can do
00:19:29it
00:19:29relatively easy or quickly then that's a game changer all right let's see moment of truth and oh god damn
00:19:41um no bait but that means there's something here but i think that just means they're really really
00:19:52small and they're just picking the out of the bait and yeah that's disappointing
00:20:00i'm going to use the scorpion we caught for bait and then try again
00:20:19this towards your snare yes this is towards the snare
00:20:23the snare i think we're coming up on it we are on day three with no protein actually for the
00:20:30first
00:20:31day starting to feel that hunger feeling starting to get slower let's take a look here
00:20:39it just sucks nothing well that's disappointing i'm gonna walk down there and check that line real
00:20:55fast yes
00:20:56nothing something nicked on it a small fish probably not big enough to take the hook
00:21:02so they sit there and peck at it until it's nothing left
00:21:11fish come out during the evening so what we're gonna do before bed we are gonna throw one out in
00:21:18the middle fish is gonna pick us up we're gonna throw that sucker in the middle of the pond
00:21:22and we're gonna get us a fish here we go let's go
00:21:31you got this friend
00:21:36yes
00:21:42all right we got this so we just put a snail on the line we're doing some active fishing over
00:21:47there
00:21:48if we can have dinner tonight that would be a really really great win we need one of those
00:22:00you got it
00:22:00oh no
00:22:06god damn it
00:22:10you got this friend
00:22:16yes all right we got this we can have dinner tonight that would be
00:22:20a really really great win we need one of those
00:22:25mother
00:22:28had a fish god damn it they're so small they won't even get on the hook
00:22:34we knew this was gonna be hard so um but i'll be okay we're gonna push through we're in it
00:22:42together
00:22:43and we are just gonna keep on trucking
00:22:58okay definitely snake territory
00:23:02i would love to have some snake for lunch yesterday was the first day that i heard my stomach growl
00:23:08my body is definitely letting me know that i need food i just got bull nettle in the face oh
00:23:13it is
00:23:14tearing me up oh my goodness
00:23:19our map it shows that there's another river body of water not too far from our little camp so we're
00:23:26gonna see if there's any other source of proteins that may be beneficial we haven't had any luck in the
00:23:31pond done it for three days and found nothing so it's time to find something else oh you son of
00:23:37a
00:23:45bitch
00:23:46yeah it sounded big and sound like it's tearing up so we need to be careful i don't want to
00:23:52get trampled on
00:24:02all right look at this andrew oh this is great are these all elephant tracks something big and
00:24:12these are fresh these are fresh yep look at that that just goes to show how big those elephants are
00:24:27we need to keep our head on a swivel
00:24:39turn around there has to be fish in there there's already a little dam from the stream being pushed
00:24:46so hard yep and then past that is almost still water yeah they're gonna be in these pools here
00:24:55there are little baby frogs everywhere there's crickets it's just an endless supply of bait
00:25:03yep this is a great opportunity great chance new life potentially it's you could see to the bottom so it
00:25:09makes
00:25:10fishing and identifying that there's fish a lot easier than the stagnant mud hole that we were at
00:25:15and i think i think i'm gonna work on a fish basket hopefully i can finally catch something we're gonna
00:25:22get him
00:25:24i know he's feeling a little down that he may not find anything but i'm feeling confident
00:25:33i'm feeling a little down that he's feeling a little down that he's feeling a little down that he's going
00:25:33to be able to move on
00:25:33please jesus please just let this as soon as it hits the water somehow someway
00:25:39you bless me with this fish just let it just let it do just
00:25:43finding food is is critical into so many points one my body's telling me andrew we're needing it
00:25:48it's four days since we've had a meal let's get something but also just the mental boost to say
00:25:52that you can do this.
00:25:54That looks like that's just catfish heaven under there.
00:25:57We're gonna put some lines out, trot lines.
00:25:59We haven't had any luck on trot lines.
00:26:02Maybe that's the one.
00:26:06This is ideal.
00:26:07We have a perfect setup here for a fish basket.
00:26:11And I truly believe this can be my win
00:26:14and I really need one of those.
00:26:16All right, so you're gonna take one, two, three, four, five,
00:26:21almost like in a little circle
00:26:23and you're gonna stick it into the mud.
00:26:25Then you're gonna take all five, gather it to the top,
00:26:30and then you're gonna take some, like, vines or saplings
00:26:33and you're gonna basket weave them
00:26:36throughout the whole thing.
00:26:37What you end up with is a round basket
00:26:39that comes up to a cone.
00:26:41Then you make a smaller one and you put it inside.
00:26:46Fish can go in, but they can't turn around and come back out.
00:26:49They're in there. It's gold.
00:26:55I've failed at getting food.
00:26:57It's something that I'm supposed to be good at.
00:26:59It's getting very heartbreaking and frustrating right now
00:27:04to try to hold it together,
00:27:06knowing that Nicole is counting on me.
00:27:12Seen a little catfish.
00:27:13He didn't take the bait.
00:27:14He's just kind of pecking at it.
00:27:15He swam out of that hole though,
00:27:17about four or five inches long.
00:27:20It's time to nut up or shut up and get that fish.
00:27:23He definitely is in there.
00:27:24Sit your big ass out there.
00:27:26Come on.
00:27:27Come on, take it.
00:27:28Come on.
00:27:30Come on, baby, take this, baby.
00:27:32Take it, baby.
00:27:32Baby, please take it.
00:27:34Come on.
00:27:35Come on, take it.
00:27:38Take it, baby.
00:27:39Take it, baby.
00:27:39Come on.
00:27:43You got one?
00:27:44Yeah.

00:28:09No, don't come off.
00:28:10Don't come off.
00:28:10Ah!
00:28:11Come here.
00:28:13Are we having fish for lunch?
00:28:17Oh, my goodness.
00:28:19Oh, we are having fish.
00:28:22I'm going to get the fire ready.
00:28:23This was so worth it.
00:28:25All right.
00:28:26This is a game changer.
00:28:29Africa had me on my knees, questioning my abilities on if I could actually do this,
00:28:34to catch any fish.
00:28:35Been trying to do this for a couple of days now.
00:28:37And look what we got here.
00:28:40Big old catfish.
00:28:42Look at that.
00:28:42Bigger in my head.
00:28:43I got a big old head.
00:28:44Look at that.
00:28:45Africa trying to tell me I can't fish.
00:28:47You can fish.
00:28:47Look at that.
00:28:48I can fish.
00:28:49Yeah, son.
00:28:52Listen, that sizzle.
00:28:53You hear that?
00:28:53Just sizzling.
00:28:55Mmm, son.
00:28:57Look at that white meat.
00:28:59Uh-huh.
00:28:59Look at how delicious.
00:29:01Yeah.
00:29:02Cheers.
00:29:02Cheers.
00:29:05Mmm.
00:29:06That's good.
00:29:07God.
00:29:09Mmm.
00:29:10What do you think?
00:29:12Oh, my God.
00:29:13I could cry.
00:29:14This is so good.
00:29:15It's just so juicy.
00:29:17Mmm.
00:29:17Mmm-hmm.
00:29:18Oh, my gosh.
00:29:19Mmm.
00:29:20And you said you needed some protein?
00:29:21You provided.
00:29:28One of my biggest things that I wanted to do here was to, for the first time in my life,
00:29:33be proud of myself.
00:29:35I came from this shy little boy battling depression and a purpose of existence.
00:29:40This fish tells me that I deserve to be proud of myself.
00:29:45I'm a good enough person to be proud of myself with what I've overcome in life, but also even here.
00:29:52A big victory today.
00:29:54Huge victory.
00:29:55We caught us a fish.
00:29:56Bang.
00:29:57That's some good stuff.
00:29:58This trip over here was worth every minute.
00:30:01Mmm-hmm.
00:30:02I am so thankful and grateful.
00:30:05We have a fish basket started.
00:30:06He has a fish in his hand.
00:30:08Juicy.
00:30:08I mean, look at that.
00:30:09Just beautiful.
00:30:10To me, that is not a fan anymore.
00:30:14We are survivalists, and this is just what we needed to say, we got this.
00:30:20We know what we're doing.
00:30:21Mother Nature provided.
00:30:22That's right.
00:30:35What the ?
00:30:37Was it about it?
00:30:39It's all good.
00:30:42It's all good.
00:30:44I'm sorry.
00:30:48It's about it.
00:30:50It's about it.
00:30:51It's about it.
00:31:21Oh
00:31:26I'm so happy this is done you should be it's a messy one but it is going to work do
00:31:33you want to
00:31:33hold it yeah I'll hold it right there I did it it fits look at that look at that let's
00:31:44show the
00:31:45world last night was really tough with all the noises of the animals all night long Andrew
00:31:51didn't sleep well I didn't sleep well but today is a new day so we're gonna catch some fish today
00:32:04the stream that we're in is set up perfectly for a fish basket it had a natural dam so we
00:32:10added to
00:32:10that and we are forcing the fish to go into that basket come on baby there's gonna be fish in
00:32:20there
00:32:30I did not want to lose any water
00:32:36pour another one
00:32:37no no I'm not thirsty so but I'll be okay I'm gonna go downstream and check those lines real
00:32:43fast I wish he would drink more this is Africa it is hot right it's hot it's humid you can
00:32:54get dehydrated
00:32:57he has not had water in like three hours and I hand it to him he takes a sip but
00:33:04I can't force him to drink so what do you do
00:33:18it's a struggle yeah up and over mm-hmm this day seven we're halfway through the challenge and you know
00:33:28we're running on fumes
00:33:32right now I bet you we are averaging it'd be less than 100 calories a day when we're used to
00:33:39eating
00:33:40you know 2,000 so the only way to get out of this thing is we have to find fish
00:33:45all right fish trap I know you're gonna do fabulous
00:33:55nope not today
00:33:56nothing
00:34:00Andrew and I have been busting ass and I've been working real hard on providing I'm a checklist person
00:34:09and having the snare and the fish basket and all those on a checklist and nothing like
00:34:16checked I feel like I'm not contributing you're not bringing home anything and you know is frustrating
00:34:25to me I just want a success I want a win
00:34:33Sun's starting to break through the trees up there it's gonna be hot
00:34:38oh try some it's delicious right now I'm just I'm not thirsty right now so you know how I am
00:34:44with
00:34:44chugging I'm not much of a yeah you're not a chugger because just doing that just makes me
00:34:50yeah we don't want nauseous I'm concerned about my partner he definitely doesn't feel thirsty so he
00:34:57doesn't think he needs to drink that worries me dehydration is a danger out here we both threw up on
00:35:04day
00:35:05one I'm scared that at the rate that he's going he is going to be in trouble
00:35:10yeah I'm getting slower I can feel it
00:35:25this is a deep hole too and how the sun's shining on it
00:35:28might be pretty good fishing to change things up a little bit running low on energy very very low
00:35:39getting kind of weak getting harder to get up
00:35:44when I exert myself it does just like breathtaking in a way it just takes your breath away
00:35:52a lot different look I'm hurting my body hurts it feels like every joint in my body is wanting to
00:35:59poke out the sides whether it's my elbows shoulders spine ribs getting slower getting kind of weak
00:36:06they got them cat light reflexes oh it's rough right now and the water levels are dropping which
00:36:16affects biting and with our energy lowering and lowering it's harder to throw that line out there
00:36:21maybe fish in here there are I'm sure big enough to get on the hook but instead of brought even
00:36:27smaller hooks I guess their mouths are shaped smaller or something but they are not wanting to take it
00:36:46I'm tired of this it's just frustrating because this is supposed to be what I do this is what
00:36:52you know I catch fish but now when the on the line can't catch I'm tired I'm hurting
00:36:58baby it's time to go home
00:37:10feeling kind of a little weak every joint in my body hurts bend my back it's killing me
00:37:16my legs I have cramps I'm starting creeping I'm sorry you're not feeling fabulous it's just uh just
00:37:22real tired and kind of uh hard to get you know it's hard to think like there's a blanket over
00:37:28my brain or
00:37:31something he needs to drink I can see it on his face it is essential for his body he's already
00:37:37in
00:37:37probably stage three of dehydration I am very concerned about you with water oh yeah I mean I'm just
00:37:51frustrated right now I mean my brain ain't even thinking about it I know but do you do you mind
00:37:56if I
00:37:56say something and then just say if I'm out of line tell me anything you want your back hurt mine
00:38:03doesn't mm-hmm your calves hurt mine don't mm-hmm you're not thirsty I am yeah you're not sweating anymore
00:38:11yep all of that is dehydration it's gonna take and this is a fact it takes triple the amount of
00:38:21water intake to get you back from dehydration
00:38:26I absolutely love Nicole she's the greatest person we take care of one another we look out for one
00:38:32another hard-headed I struggle accepting help but this here you have to you know if you don't accept
00:38:38the help and you let the ego get in the way you're done look at you chugging
00:38:43I think relatively close to the water or just how they were walking yeah their strides aren't very big
00:38:59but they go in groups so we've been seeing the Egyptian geese walking along our pond same path every
00:39:07day catching one of those geese will push us through till day 14. okay yeah I can see bird prints
00:39:14right there
00:39:15awesome so I was thinking jab it in and then put this there right there I came here with an
00:39:23idea of what I wanted to do and I feel like I'm running out of time
00:39:28I know I know I'm hard on myself but I'm just disappointed in what I've brought to the table
00:39:36I just want to be successful and I want to be successful in the things that I've been working
00:39:41hard for and it's so frustrating may let it stick up so then it catches him a little bit
00:39:48his foot gets in there he can't he doesn't pick it up very high drags it tightens up around his
00:39:54foot and
00:39:54he can't get off I'm going to get something in my snares or my fish basket I'm here to do
00:40:01that
00:40:01I mean that's all you can do
00:40:13we got this day Andrew oh I know it's just it's just frustrating it's I feel like my momentum has
00:40:20kind of hit a wall you know I'm exhausted from being out here I'm really tired
00:40:32oh my god Andrew I see a snake get that stick do you see it
00:40:37oh there he is up there there's no chance damn that's a baby black mama be careful
00:40:44come here help me all right let's see
00:40:50come on
00:40:53oh where'd you go
00:40:54be careful don't let me bite you
00:40:55I know I know where'd you go
00:40:56I just scared him and I stirred up the mud
00:40:58you gotta get it
00:41:01Andrew do you see it
00:41:02mm-hmm
00:41:03went downstream
00:41:05yep
00:41:06Nicole that was your chance
00:41:08I see a snake in the water
00:41:14perfect perfect opportunity he goes up the bank
00:41:18and what do I do I fling it back into the freaking water like an idiot
00:41:24the one snake we see in Africa
00:41:27mm-hmm
00:41:29and try to
00:41:29I just need a minute
00:41:33so stupid
00:41:35you're good you're good go do what you gotta do
00:41:42all I had to do was take the side of the stick place it on him I had the knife
00:41:47in my hand
00:41:48I could have just done it but you're just so tired and you don't think but that was
00:41:55we're so hungry
00:41:59oh I'm so mad at myself
00:42:04I'm disappointed
00:42:07I have been
00:42:08that's all I wanted to do here in Africa
00:42:12I'm not gonna get that opportunity again
00:42:21what she's feeling is the same thing I felt
00:42:23and it felt like just I was just this big stupid ass loser
00:42:27that um talked all this stuff about how he could fish and survive and just to let my partner down
00:42:36I have been putting in the freaking man hours
00:42:41sunup to sundown
00:42:42I have not
00:42:44stopped
00:42:47I've gotten nothing nothing accomplished on my list
00:42:51nothing
00:42:52and we only have four more days
00:43:03maybe I'm not a survivalist
00:43:07maybe I'm not supposed to be here
00:43:21maybe I'm not a survivalist
00:43:24maybe I'm not supposed to be here
00:43:29maybe I'm supposed to just go back to in here
00:43:33need a little more time or can I come talk to you
00:43:35you can come talk to me
00:43:38yeah
00:43:38come here bring it in
00:43:44bring it in
00:43:44bring it in
00:43:46it's gonna be okay
00:43:47I'll get the first trip to
00:43:49it's give and take with me and Nicole
00:43:52you know when she's down and needing a boost I'm there
00:43:55and then whenever I'm down and need a boost she's there
00:43:59who flings it back in the water
00:44:01who knows that
00:44:05it's okay
00:44:06I get it
00:44:07and there's gonna be other opportunities
00:44:09we have four days
00:44:11we waited ten days to see a snake
00:44:15I know I'm good at what I do
00:44:20and I don't even have the time to prove it
00:44:26but this is our first ten days ever being in an environment like this
00:44:30there's a lot of trials and errors
00:44:32and you have a right to feel how you feel
00:44:34you have that right
00:44:35but do not undermine what you've done
00:44:37what you've accomplished
00:44:38yeah we've got four days left
00:44:40but there's a lot of things that can still happen
00:44:42Africa
00:44:43it knocks you on your ass real fast
00:44:45so my message to Nicole
00:44:47to know that it wasn't catastrophic
00:44:49it's okay
00:44:50you'll be fine
00:44:51just keep pushing
00:44:52we turn that page
00:44:53and we move on from it
00:44:57in my daily life
00:44:59I've never failed anything
00:45:01at home
00:45:02I'm this confident
00:45:03mentor
00:45:04boss lady
00:45:05mom
00:45:06I'm the one with all the answers
00:45:08I'm the one people go to
00:45:09my self-esteem is lower than I've ever felt before
00:45:13but Africa has showed me that
00:45:16I am hard on myself
00:45:17and
00:45:18I gotta give myself some credit
00:45:20at least I'm still trying
00:45:22and I won't stop that till the end
00:45:35we have to secure protein
00:45:38I'm gonna catch as many frogs as I need to
00:45:41and I am just gonna fish the day away
00:45:43I just want a success
00:45:46I want a win
00:45:48I came out here to be that savage warrior princess
00:45:52I'm gonna get fish
00:45:54I'm gonna get fish
00:45:55trying to catch one last frog
00:45:57for bait
00:45:59I'm just here to support you
00:46:02that's a big one
00:46:05no, no, no, no
00:46:11no
00:46:11oh, you jerk off
00:46:15I have not been able to secure food
00:46:18nothing has been successful yet
00:46:20but
00:46:21it's on like overdrive now
00:46:26got him
00:46:27I'm going
00:46:29balls to the wall
00:46:30and just
00:46:31give it my all
00:46:35you okay?
00:46:36yeah, just really tired
00:46:38wish we could get some protein
00:46:39but I just don't think it's likely
00:46:41until for me
00:46:42it's kind of
00:46:44preserve what protein I've got left
00:46:46and
00:46:46well, hopefully I can
00:46:47not fight it
00:46:48step up for the team
00:46:50when we need it the most
00:46:51I'm discouraged
00:46:52because the water levels are dropping
00:46:54which affects biting
00:46:56very iffy on whether
00:46:57we're gonna get anything today
00:46:58you know
00:46:58it seemed like a lot of the fish
00:47:00are probably moving downstream
00:47:02this is the deepest part of the pond
00:47:06nope
00:47:06nope
00:47:21oh

00:48:01she wanted to get protein
00:48:02and she teared up
00:48:04and was very emotional about it
00:48:05because
00:48:06her big thing has been
00:48:07she doesn't contribute
00:48:09and for her to catch that fish
00:48:10it was very overwhelming for her

00:51:36it doesn't have
00:51:37a whole lot of
00:51:38calories to it
00:51:39but it's going to
00:51:40help us in the long run
00:51:54what the
00:51:55god damn
00:51:56what is that
00:52:00it's this
00:52:05is
00:52:18no
00:52:19nothing
00:52:19that's it
00:52:20them
00:52:39Always have to be on the slow.
00:52:40Can't get cozy here.
00:52:41Sure can.
00:52:55Last night was rough.
00:52:57Last night was a zoo.
00:52:59We heard all the animals, hyenas, elephants, hippos, a water buffalo I'm sure of.
00:53:07It was insane.
00:53:08All in the same watering hole and just feet from our boma.
00:53:12All right, all right Andrew.
00:53:15We are going to get bait.
00:53:20All right.
00:53:23I'm really, really feeling good about the fishing.
00:53:28To make extraction, we really need that energy and that nutrition to get out of here safely.
00:53:35So hopefully we get another one to get a little bit more.
00:53:39Maybe a grasshopper will land on you again.
00:53:41Mm-hmm.
00:53:46Oh, my God.
00:53:49Oh, my goodness, elephants.
00:53:57Oh, my God.
00:54:01Oh, my goodness, elephants.
00:54:06Insane.
00:54:20Elephants are just so majestic.
00:54:23But it's big, it's scary, and it's starting to become an issue.
00:54:27There's danger around every corner.
00:54:30Oh, my God.
00:54:36Oh, my God.
00:54:41I cannot just explain what just happened.
00:54:43My heart is like, I got to calm down.
00:54:50In recent days, local herds have been encroaching on Nicole and Andrew's location.
00:54:55Elephants remember smells and people.
00:54:57If an elephant feels their territory is being invaded, they will perceive it as a threat,
00:55:02which would trigger a deadly charge.
00:55:06I'm going to show you all something.
00:55:09That is an elephant.
00:55:16And that is our obama, which is right there.
00:55:22All these tracks.
00:55:24So the threat in this show is very, very real.
00:55:27It doesn't get any realer than this, you know.
00:55:30Anybody think, oh, it's stage, it's this, it's that?
00:55:34Uh-uh.
00:55:35That's real .
00:55:35That is some real .
00:55:59That's real .
00:56:05Yeah, it's a real .
00:56:12Yeah.
00:56:20Yeah, that's right.
00:56:23Yeah.
00:56:28Yeah, yeah.
00:56:29I'm a snake on the first down.
00:56:32I'm a snake.
00:56:35I'm a snake.
00:56:36I'm a snake.
00:56:39I'm a snake.
00:56:40I'm a snake.
00:56:42I'm a snake.
00:56:45I'm a snake.
00:56:46I'm a snake.
00:56:46The damn forest is falling down.
00:56:49I think what they do is bomb up they stepped on.
00:56:52We're encouraged in this thing.
00:56:57I don't think it just goes around us.
00:57:07I really want to get some sleep tonight.
00:57:13I don't think I'm going to get this sleep that way.
00:57:42I think there's some lightning and thunder over the hills.
00:57:48It's like the storm is, like, super, super close to us.
00:57:52I just felt a raindrop.
00:57:54The wind is shifting.
00:57:58I'm kind of freaking out a little.
00:58:06All right, so we're kind of in a spot right now.
00:58:10Lightning from 1130 up to 30ish.
00:58:15It's all light.
00:58:17And Nicole's worst fear is being wet and cold.
00:58:20We have a little canopy, but that doesn't matter if it's
00:58:25a complete torrential downpour with lightning.
00:58:31And I hear the hyenas in the background.
00:58:35But that's the crazy part is they're the least of our worries
00:58:38right now.
00:58:38No.
00:58:39I'd rather be surrounded by hyenas than this.
00:58:43This is, like, one of my worst nightmares.
00:58:48Oh, .
00:58:50No, thank you.
00:59:07We go from elephant to having my worst fear.
00:59:12Wet and cold.
00:59:14Africa has not let me down.
00:59:30Everything is wet right now.
00:59:33But we have been able to save our fire in a downpour rain.
00:59:38So I think that is a win.
00:59:40Our feet was getting covered with, um.
00:59:42It was a pond in here.
00:59:43Yeah.
00:59:44It was getting to be a pond.
00:59:45And most people may not believe it and be like,
00:59:47oh, it didn't rain that damn hard.
00:59:49If they still got a fire going like that.
00:59:50Oh, no.
00:59:51It rained that hard.
00:59:52We made it.
00:59:53But it sucked.
00:59:57Crazy, crazy morning.
00:59:58An elephant was ten feet away from us.
01:00:03There's big animals here that could hurt us.
01:00:06I know we're getting closer to extraction.
01:00:10Do you want to have that convo?
01:00:13Maybe more beneficiary to us to, um, try to go a little ways,
01:00:17build a temporary boma and, um.
01:00:20Do it in two?
01:00:21Do it in two days.
01:00:22We just have to be careful because we all know the area and, um,
01:00:25watch for predators, yeah.
01:00:27So I think it would be a good idea.
01:00:28Let's do it a two-day trip.
01:00:30All right.
01:00:30So, yeah.
01:00:31Mm-hmm.
01:00:32I agree.
01:00:33All right.
01:00:35Elephants are getting closer.
01:00:36It's time to move on.
01:00:38I did not work this hard just to fail my extraction.
01:00:42So you're 100%.
01:00:43We're leaving today?
01:00:44Not a doubt in my mind.
01:00:45All right.
01:00:46You?
01:00:47100%.
01:00:47All right.
01:00:49Let's do this.
01:00:50Let's open this boma.
01:00:50All right.
01:00:51Africa's not letting us out easy.
01:00:53You know, she's going to throw every punch she can before we go down.
01:00:56You just keep rolling with the punches.
01:00:58All right.
01:00:59So we're here.
01:01:00Mm-hmm.
01:01:01Extraction is there.
01:01:02Mm-hmm.
01:01:02We just walk as far as we can safely and figure out the best spot to stop at.
01:01:09That's right.
01:01:09I don't see any, like, super sweet spots, so I guess it's whatever we think we can handle
01:01:17and go from there.
01:01:18After 13 days in Zambia's Luanga River Valley, Nicole and Andrew have decided to begin their extraction
01:01:24one day early due to the threat of local elephant herds encroaching on their location.
01:01:29To reach their extraction point in the next two days, they'll face a six-mile trek through
01:01:34dense forest along steep creek-side drop-offs, stopping midway to shelter overnight.
01:01:40Definitely don't want to exert a lot of energy building the boma, so we need this to be already almost
01:01:47built for us.
01:01:49Absolutely.
01:01:49I had a little freak-out session last night because the elephants came through.
01:01:54I was confident in the boma we built for protection, but they can come really close, and it is a
01:02:00dangerous situation.
01:02:02Our first priority is to protect this fire.
01:02:04We'll get us a coal real fast.
01:02:06All right.
01:02:06And some of these are soaked and still burning.
01:02:10Go us.
01:02:11We're gonna get this big coal here because it is wet, and we may need it to help us get
01:02:16our fire down.
01:02:17Absolutely.
01:02:17We'll get one more just to be safe.
01:02:19Yeah, get that.
01:02:20Yep.
01:02:21Yeah, that'll be perfect.
01:02:22There we go.
01:02:23All right.
01:02:24Well, let's get this show in the room.
01:02:26Careful, it's slippery.
01:02:27Mm-hmm.
01:02:28Bye, boma.
01:02:30Gotta get it going.
01:02:32Some people I see on the fan Facebook pages, they say, oh, Africa's one of the easier spots.
01:02:40No.
01:02:41Big fat lie.
01:02:42Nope.
01:02:43Nope, nope.
01:02:44You're wrong.
01:02:45Africa's hard.
01:02:47Be careful.
01:02:48Of course, we just went through the mud with footing.
01:02:52Yeah, that was tough.
01:02:52You know, I don't want to break an ankle.
01:02:53It's so slippery.
01:02:54But also, it could be that snakes and other things could be on the move, too.
01:03:01Okay.
01:03:01So we gotta be mindful of that.
01:03:03All right.
01:03:04You gotta keep your head on a swivel because, I mean, you don't know what's hunting you.
01:03:07You know, it's tall grass, snakes, lions could be in there.
01:03:11I mean, it's ridiculous of all the different things that could get you and you can't see them.
01:03:15I hope that the weather stays like this.
01:03:18Yes.
01:03:19Because the sun is not gonna be our friend.
01:03:23No.
01:03:24Especially we got a little late start because of that storm.
01:03:27Yeah.
01:03:39Lean back and let your staff be your extra foot.
01:03:42Jab it and kinda lean on it a little bit.
01:03:44Yeah.
01:03:45Put that weight on them heels so if you do fall, you fall backwards instead of on your face.
01:03:50Extraction is taking a toll on the body right now.
01:03:52The feet with new thorns.
01:03:54Grass whipping across my legs, opening up wounds.
01:03:57A little razor grass.
01:03:58The bugs biting.
01:04:00This trek is harder than what we did coming in.
01:04:04Oh, yeah.
01:04:04I mean, absolutely.
01:04:06I'm so glad we didn't do this all in one day, Andrew.
01:04:09Me too.
01:04:11The river that we are on, it is muddy.
01:04:13It is wet.
01:04:15I am shivering.
01:04:16I'm cold.
01:04:17So I think right here is the closest clearing we're gonna get.
01:04:21You .
01:04:22A lot of critters been crossing, so if the critters say it's okay, then...
01:04:26All right.
01:04:26I'm a little nervous about crossing this, Andrew.
01:04:29Mud is not my friend.
01:04:30Okay.
01:04:31Damn critters.
01:04:32Be real careful and watch them ankles.
01:04:33Do not roll an ankle.
01:04:35And use your stick as like a third leg.
01:04:40Okay.
01:04:41And if you fall, fall backwards.
01:04:43I'm gonna go sideways.
01:04:45Let's see.
01:04:47That's not my forte.
01:04:51I'm sorry.
01:04:51I'm being a baby about this.
01:04:52You're fine.
01:04:52You be safety first.
01:04:54Don't roll no ankle.
01:04:58There you go.
01:04:58Dig them feet and dig them toes in that ground.
01:05:01Use that staff.
01:05:02You're gonna use that staff.
01:05:03All right.
01:05:04Okay.
01:05:04All right.
01:05:06All right.
01:05:06Now, the next challenge is going across here carefully.
01:05:09You ain't gonna see no croc in that.
01:05:11You know, and other snakes that are moving because they got washed out.
01:05:14So, here we go.
01:05:15You ready?
01:05:16Use your staff as a third leg.
01:05:17All right.
01:05:18Okay.
01:05:19But do not let the point get past any part of your head.
01:05:23So that if you fall, it won't stab you.
01:05:27I suck at this part.
01:05:31The terrain, it's treacherous.
01:05:32It's a challenge and very difficult, but the only way out is through.
01:05:36I suppose it's that light at the end of the tunnel that this is almost over.
01:05:40And it gives that body, those feet, just a little bit more unk.
01:05:44All right.
01:05:44All right.
01:05:44Be careful.
01:05:45It's getting steep again.
01:05:47I thought you were prepared for everything.
01:05:53Made it to the bottom.
01:05:56Damn.
01:05:56You okay?
01:05:57Yeah.
01:05:58Of course, at the big ass heel, I'm fine.
01:06:01And the little one gets you.
01:06:02Not my coal.
01:06:03My coal.
01:06:06They're out.
01:06:07So we're about to start a fire from scratch.
01:06:10And that's unfortunate because everything's so wet.
01:06:14It's just going to be a little harder.
01:06:16Yeah.
01:06:17If we can't get fire, we won't have water for the rest of this extraction.
01:06:20Makes me a little nervous.
01:06:30I feel like we're halfway.
01:06:32It's a good time to look at, see if this will be a spot for our-
01:06:36Oh.
01:06:37To spend the night.
01:06:39Something small, something easy.
01:06:42Little energy is possible to make.
01:06:45Somewhere in here would be good.
01:06:47I mean, we have coverage from the rain if it rains a little bit.
01:06:51Build it in this area here.
01:06:53Circle it here.
01:06:55This tree here helps us not need as much material.
01:06:58Okay.
01:06:59And then you circle it back around.
01:07:01Back to that tree.
01:07:03And then now we've got to build fire.
01:07:05Yeah.
01:07:06In this very humid, wet environment.
01:07:11Okay.
01:07:12Yeah?
01:07:12Okay.
01:07:12Let's make it happen.
01:07:17But anything's somewhat dry, even if it has thorns, I'm putting out here.
01:07:24It takes a little bit of energy building another bulma.
01:07:27It's too early to tell if it's a good payoff or if it's a gamble that'll cost us.
01:07:33I'm already tired.
01:07:34I'm already hungry.
01:07:34This could be the end of us because of dehydration or burning calories.
01:07:39The biggest risk is not making extraction.
01:07:41I just hope we can get this fire started.
01:07:44We need to get some water going.
01:07:46All right.
01:07:47Some of this has thorns, but it's super dry.
01:07:50Mm-hmm.
01:07:51The sun's going down.
01:07:52Time is of the essence.
01:07:54We are building a bulma, collecting firewood, starting a fire.
01:07:59All of that is going to exert energy.
01:08:19And we're going to get so much magnesium.
01:08:23We're going to use that really, really dry leaf.
01:08:27Our plan was to bring a coal.
01:08:29That failed.
01:08:30So we've had to start from scratch, start a brand new fire just like we did on day one.
01:08:34We are if we cannot get the fire going.
01:08:37It's not just water, but even the predators keep them away.
01:08:50Andrew.
01:08:51Mm-hmm.
01:08:52We have fire.
01:08:53We have fire.
01:08:56Fire.
01:08:56There.
01:08:57Now we just got to keep it together.
01:09:01All right.
01:09:02Oh .
01:09:03It's like.
01:09:05All right.
01:09:05I got to go find smaller pieces.
01:09:07That scares me.
01:09:09It's like already almost out.
01:09:11Yep.
01:09:11It burned all the small stuff and all the big stuff.
01:09:13Just they don't want to take because it's so wet.
01:09:16Yeah.
01:09:17We got to keep that going.
01:09:20All right.
01:09:20This wood's dry.
01:09:21It has green.
01:09:22But like, it's almost out.
01:09:24We have to get this back.
01:09:26We cannot let that happen again.
01:09:35I don't know.
01:09:36You sure this green stuff good?
01:09:38I mean, it's burning.
01:09:39So any of this will work.
01:09:41Yeah.
01:09:41But I mean, look at that.
01:09:42What you just gathered.
01:09:43It's soaking wet.
01:09:44You know, so.
01:09:45But it's burning.
01:09:46So.
01:09:46Well, not that one.
01:09:47It's these little things that are burning.
01:09:49The hard stuff that we have on here is not.
01:09:52I got water sizzling and boiling out one of these
01:09:54because it's so saturated.
01:09:58Very frustrated with Andrew.
01:10:00I don't know if it's because he genuinely wants to help
01:10:03or if it's he wants to outdo me.
01:10:08I'm not sure.
01:10:09We're not outdoing each other.
01:10:10We're just here to survive.
01:10:12Because right now, none of the stuff that we've got
01:10:14is usable other than this little stuff,
01:10:16unless we can get this stuff to dry out within the next
01:10:19couple of minutes.
01:10:20Because the stuff that's being gathered is,
01:10:22is very, very, very wet.
01:10:24She's just throwing wet green wood on the fire
01:10:26and it's going to kill it.
01:10:27I mean, it was hard enough to light,
01:10:29because we don't have a coal.
01:10:31She might as well be throwing water on it.
01:10:33I don't get it.
01:10:34I'm thirsty.
01:10:36No, I know.
01:10:37I'm worried.
01:10:37I'm not trying to be mean.
01:10:39I just like, this is literally like that.
01:10:42No, there's nothing to be mean about.
01:10:43It's just, I'm just simply stating is that,
01:10:44everything that you're bringing is soaking wet,
01:10:47which is everything.
01:10:48But it's burning.
01:10:48So we have to try to dry it out.
01:10:49This is not usable stuff.
01:10:52We came here with no water.
01:10:53This could be the end of us if we cannot stay positive
01:10:55and keep our heads together and get this fire started.
01:10:58Like, we can't just not put something on it
01:11:00because it's wet.
01:11:01I mean, you want to throw some of this wet stuff on it
01:11:03and see what happens?
01:11:04We can put one at least, the smaller one, just to like start it.
01:11:07Okay, let's throw this big wet one on here
01:11:08and see what happens.
01:11:12Don't be a dick about it and like smother it.
01:11:20You know, so we're on our extraction walk
01:11:22and as fans, you know, you're watching the show,
01:11:24you're watching your survivalist
01:11:25and you don't think about the crew.
01:11:26Who's up? Who's up?
01:11:28Take it slow and be careful, okay?
01:11:30They go through the same crap as we do.
01:11:32The same nasty mud, slick mud.
01:11:34Holy . Here I go.
01:11:42I'm going to fall.
01:11:43You're sliding.
01:11:44I believe in you, Phil.
01:11:45You're definitely sliding.
01:11:46Oh.
01:11:47Technique.
01:11:49Technique.
01:11:49Silver surfing.
01:11:50Oh.
01:11:53You just got to commit to it.
01:11:55Oh.
01:11:58Send it.
01:12:04They're in it with us, so you got to see how they did.
01:12:07There they are.
01:12:09One big family.
01:12:13I mean, you want to throw some of this wet stuff on it and see what happens?
01:12:15We can put one at least, the smaller one, just to like start it.
01:12:18Okay, let's throw this big wet one.
01:12:18Let's throw this wet one on here and see what happens.
01:12:21Don't be a dick about it and like smother it.
01:12:24No.
01:12:25We're going to set it right next to it and that's how it'll go.
01:12:43It's looking better.
01:12:45It's getting there and I can hear it bowling more and more.
01:12:51Water out of these logs.
01:12:53I thought we might be screwed, but in my frustration, dumping that big pile of wood on top heated up
01:12:57the fire enough to get a big chunk of it to at night.
01:13:01Listen, I'm sorry.
01:13:03I'm thirsty.
01:13:04No, I know.
01:13:05I'm worried.
01:13:06I know, but I mean, I'm not criticizing or anything.
01:13:10I feel the same emotions as you.
01:13:15I shouldn't have reacted that way.
01:13:17It was not your fault at all.
01:13:20If I had an issue, I should have just said, hey, Andrew, this is how I'm feeling.
01:13:25And I didn't do that.
01:13:26And I took it out on you and that wasn't fair.
01:13:29Yeah.
01:13:29So I really do apologize.
01:13:32And that should not have happened.
01:13:33No, it's all good.
01:13:34I'm not worried about it either way.
01:13:36It's just not fair though.
01:13:38Yeah.
01:13:39No, it's all good.
01:13:39I ain't worried about it.
01:13:41You forgive me?
01:13:42I forgive you.
01:13:42There wasn't nothing to forgive.
01:13:44I was already, you know, no big deal with it.
01:13:47Andrew, thank you.
01:13:50Thank you for being kind, caring, a true Southern gentleman.
01:13:55Even at my worst, we were able to communicate and that just means the world to me.
01:13:59I could not have asked for a better partner.
01:14:02You got to finish it out strong because this is it.
01:14:05We're right.
01:14:05And we've been a team from the beginning and we're doing it together.
01:14:09We only have each other's best interest at heart.
01:14:12Something out here that I learned is that you got to give a little, take a little.
01:14:15And I'm so thankful that I have Nicole with me on this journey.
01:14:18She's a bright spot to this world.
01:14:20You know, she's, you know, the world's better with her.
01:14:22And, uh, I got me a new best friend.
01:14:25We got this.
01:14:26Yep.
01:14:26We just got a few more hours.
01:14:28Then we go to sleep and have to do this long, long hike and get the hell out of Africa.
01:14:47We're skinny.
01:14:48We're tired.
01:14:49We're weak.
01:14:51And, you know, just even seeing that elephant so close and personal even takes a lot of energy.
01:14:59So to take two days of travel, build another boma, start another fire, it's definitely a risk.
01:15:07Has it been done?
01:15:08I couldn't think of it, but...
01:15:09On a fan challenge.
01:15:11On a fan challenge.
01:15:11On a fan challenge.
01:15:13We got this, though.
01:15:15We can do this.
01:15:16And go out smiling.
01:15:20I'm ready to go home.
01:15:22I'm ready to eat.
01:15:24I'm ready to see my family.
01:15:26I'm ready to go home.
01:15:26I'm ready to go home.
01:15:42I'm ready to go home.
01:15:56comes to play right now it's it's time to put it all together all the pieces
01:16:00together for one final showdown between us and Africa to show that we're gonna
01:16:04win it here in the end
01:16:08Wow
01:16:12all right let's do this hmm I cannot believe we almost completed a 14-day
01:16:22experience in Zambia Africa I don't know this is probably the weakest I have
01:16:30felt in 14 days lions they definitely lurk on prey that are weak and we are
01:16:37weak and we are slow yep just got to be very very careful
01:16:49we still go in the right way oh yeah member trust me trust unconditional I got
01:16:55us all right we're following the stream and that's what the map says to do this
01:17:01could be like super snake area especially hiding from the rain yeah you hear that
01:17:13yep yeah I wonder what that is
01:17:18oh and gee Andrew there are elephants all up in this area all of them look at that
01:17:31elephant elephant elephant crazy ruin that's scary because you can't even hear
01:17:40them and so if they were literally on top of you you wouldn't know it until crushed
01:17:49you feeling okay I'm starting to get a little
01:17:54dizzier and weaker but I'm good okay well just let me know
01:18:04let me help you
01:18:08mm-hmm just watch the sticks down there
01:18:13there you go as the days went on I realized you can't do this alone Andrew and I complete
01:18:22opposites or not if something's bothering us we talk about it if somebody's down the other
01:18:28one lifts them up you need your partner out here we're almost there

01:21:24regret your past you don't have to wish you could go in time machine fix it that amazing person you
