00:01This is it.
00:02I'm here in Zambia.
00:03This is insertion day.
00:05And I'm super excited to meet my partner.
00:07I know what I brought to the table.
00:09And I'm respecting.
00:10You've not respected me in any way.
00:11So I'm about to get dropped off and meet my partner.
00:15Did I listen to you bitch and complain?
00:17Yes.
00:18I hope she's cool down to earth.
00:20Look at my point of view.
00:21I brought you here.
00:22You didn't get me here.
00:23I got myself here.
00:24If my partner is a bossy alpha, I think I can work with that.
00:28You're all right.
00:29I'm not talking to you then.
00:30Like, let's be clear.
00:31You're so old.
00:32Really?
00:33Yeah.
00:34If my partner is bossy, then I'm just
00:36going to have to show them that I wear the pants.
00:40I'm just not sure anybody can survive here for 21 days.
00:45Oh my god.
00:48Two strangers.
00:52No food.
00:57No water.
01:0021 days.
01:02Don't tap.
01:04Die first.
01:05Naked and afraid.
01:15These elephants are like walking tanks.
01:20It's crazy what these elephants are capable of doing out here.
01:23They just break everything and keep walking.
01:28I think you've got to be crazy to be out here.
01:33I think the thing that scares me the most is, like, it's really hard to see a long distance.
01:37I think you just have to have your head on a swivel all the time.
01:46Zambia's Luonga Valley is one of Africa's last untamed frontiers.
01:57The region is now at the tail end of the rainy season, when sudden storms rip across the valley
02:02and trap rainwater as floods recede, drawing prey and predators from across the area,
02:09including the seven-ton African elephant.
02:11This unpredictable giant is capable of reaching charging speeds of 25 miles per hour, crushing anything in its path.
02:25I'm hoping to be able to hunt some impala out here and some puku.
02:28There's definitely a lot of places for these animals to hide, so it's not going to make getting to them
02:33very easy.
02:33But it's also an advantage to win your stalking game.
02:37All right, this is it.
02:49Here we go.
02:50I'm so nervous.
02:52I think because I have a deeper awareness of how hard this is going to be and what it's going
02:57to take to get through it,
02:58I think that's what makes me so nervous.
03:06All right, sorry, Mom.
03:08I'm pretty naked right now, and we're in the bush.
03:13This is super excited.
03:14I can't wait to meet my partner and finally figure out what she's all about.
03:18Hopefully, they're super cool and down to earth, laid back, and we can just have a good time,
03:24make this a vacation instead of a challenge.
03:26If my partner is bossy, then I'm just going to have to show them that I wear the pants.
03:31Yeah, this is wild how dense this is.
03:34Gosh, it's so thick back here.
03:37I'm just nervous for how hard it's going to be.
03:39Like, let's cross our fingers and hope that my partner is awesome.
03:43I hope they're cool because I have to spend three weeks with them.
03:50Hey, how are you?
03:52Thanks for meeting you here.
03:54I'm Ali.
03:55Nice to meet you.
03:55Where are you from?
03:56I'm from North Carolina.
03:57You're from the south.
03:58I can tell already.
03:59Florida.
04:00So we're not too far apart.
04:01You're not too far.
04:02Hello, Americans.
04:04Anyways, what do you do?
04:06So I'm a wilderness instructor, so I lead expeditions and I hunt as well.
04:11I guess the theme for my life has been do hard in beautiful places.
04:18I take people into beautiful and also rugged wilderness areas and help them through various
04:25challenges in the wild.
04:26I've always just wanted to be outdoors all the time, even as a kid.
04:31And if you asked me at 10 years old what I wanted to do when I grow up, I would
04:36have told you
04:36that I wanted to live in the woods off the land.
04:41So you got a lot of experience, though, like, survival?
04:43I have some experience, yes.
04:44Some experience?
04:45Yeah, with some survival skills, for sure.
04:47How about you?
04:48I'm a tree climber and other than that, I adventure everywhere and pretty much hunt everywhere.
04:52Being a tree climber, it's full of thrill.
04:54Every day, you're pretty much 100 feet in the air.
04:56So you have to be able to overcome fears.
04:58I think my skills are going to go pretty well here, considering I spend a ton of time in the
05:04woods with nature.
05:05So I just weave some palm fronds together.
05:07That's my palm frond roof.
05:09I'm really good with trapping, shelter building, fire skills, and running.
05:13And this right here is our setup for killing some South African Zambia bad mother truckers.
05:23Man, being a tree climber, I love that.
05:25So I would just hope that we can both work together and, like, I'll pull my weight,
05:29you pull your weight.
05:30We'll just work together and balance it.
05:31And send it.
05:32Yeah, just send it.
05:34Yeah, for sure.
05:36Well, um, do you want to see what we got?
05:38Yeah, I do want to see what we got.
05:39Yeah, uh, this looks like yours.
05:42Yeah, that's mine.
05:43Uh, I got my bow and arrows.
05:46I actually have the same bow.
05:48Yeah, let's check out what you got.
05:49So here's what I have.
05:50I actually had a custom knife made.
05:53That's awesome.
05:54Yeah, so this is the blade.
05:55Okay.
05:56And then we do have a little baby saw blade just in case we need it, so.
05:59Perfect.
06:00In addition to their survival items,
06:03Allison and Tyler have been given a pot to boil water and a fire starter.
06:07So I have one more thing in here.
06:09We've got a map.
06:10Okay.
06:12Looks like that's where we are.
06:14Okay.
06:15And then we've got maybe two water sources.
06:18Yeah, that was definitely closer.
06:20So we'll plan to come here, stay here for a while, and then we'll bounce over.
06:24It'd be nice anyways towards the end to be a little closer to extraction.
06:27Oh, right.
06:27Yeah.
06:28Well, I guess it looks like we better start getting going.
06:31You want me to lead?
06:32Yep, go ahead.
06:32Okay.
06:34Allison and Tyler have decided to trek to the closest water source, four miles northeast.
06:40The hike will take them through tangles of thorns and areas of grassland,
06:45prime hunting grounds for lions, Africa's most feared predator.
06:56There's a big cloud right there.
06:58Looks like it might rain soon.
07:00Yeah.
07:01A bunch of really tall grass here.
07:04Uh, maybe we should be your left.
07:06Okay.
07:07I'm stuck.
07:08Let's get, let's catch a game trail.
07:10If you come right here.
07:11Do you see one?
07:11We'll make one, and then we'll get one.
07:13We'll make one.
07:14Yeah, this is pretty light grass right here, so we won't have an issue.
07:16I'm a little bit concerned about the fact that he's already telling me what to do.
07:21Let's go this way, let's go that way, do this, do that.
07:23You know, I teach survival, and I spend so much time living in the wilderness.
07:28Yeah.
07:34We're going to cut right again right here.
07:36Okay.
07:36It's getting a little thick up here, so just watch your step and what you're coming into.
07:40Okay.
07:41Oh, yeah, thorn.
07:42Oh, there's some under your feet right now, too.
07:44Yeah.
07:45Just be careful on the step.
07:48Watch your step right there.
07:50You should go left.
07:52I'm going to cut over there, right here.
07:54I'm just, I personally didn't want to cut through that right there.
07:57Okay.
07:58What's your boyfriend there about you coming on the shelf?
08:01Oh, he's really excited for me to be here.
08:02He actually was, he was like, I hope you get some, like, alpha bro who thinks you don't know
08:07anything and he has to take care of you and, like, doesn't realize that you have a good amount of
08:11skills.
08:13Um, I can, I can be bossy sometimes.
08:16Yeah, I kind of am the alpha one.
08:19What?
08:20Yeah, this is funny.
08:21I'm kind of the alpha one.
08:22Oh, okay.
08:29Oh, thunder.
08:31Yeah, I heard that.
08:34We must be getting close and we're dipping down a little bit.
08:37We are getting lower.
08:38That's for sure.
08:39Yeah.
08:39Oh, yeah, look at here.
08:41Oh, yeah.
08:42It's starting to rain.
08:43Yeah, the weather is about to on us.
08:45We need something to keep us safe, something weatherproof.
08:48I like the look of that rock overhang over there.
08:51Yeah.
08:51Do you see the big one behind the tree?
08:53Yep, yep.
08:53Seeking protection from the impending storm,
08:56Allison and Tyler have decided to shelter under a rock ledge.
09:00With the exception of maybe, like, I don't know, baboons and leopards, maybe lions,
09:05it's kind of hard to get in here.
09:07Let's make it work.
09:08So hopefully quickly cliff fire going.
09:11I've got maybe two and a half hours of daylight.
09:16So what's, what's your idea here?
09:18I'm just blocking this entrance.
09:19That's all I'm doing.
09:21That's it.
09:22What do you think?
09:23What do you want?
09:24I probably wouldn't worry about that entrance,
09:26because once we get a fire going, we can just call it a day.
09:29All right.
09:30The trek has been a lot longer than I thought it was going to be,
09:33so we're having to move faster than I really would like to.
09:36We have no control over the weather, and we only have a few hours of daylight left.
09:41Sunset's pretty early here.
09:45I want to get some water going.
09:47That way we stay hydrated.
09:48All right.
09:56I want to go ahead and try to get something for the water.
10:01All right.
10:04Right now, I'm going to focus on one big fire.
10:07Keeping wood dry, and keeping the fire going is going to be extremely important
10:11because of safety and keeping our water boiling and keeping these animals away.
10:15Nice.
10:17If you don't have fire, you probably won't be here long.
10:20That's what I'm talking about.
10:21Yeah, if it was raining today, we got a fire short of quick, somewhat easy.
10:25I think it's a success.
10:26We got water we can boil now.
10:28Yeah.
10:32Looks like it stopped raining.
10:36Super windy.
10:39It's smoke's rough work.
10:42Smoke?
10:43My eyes watering.
10:45You good over there?
10:47Oh my god, I can't handle this smoke.
11:05Oh my god, I can't handle this smoke.
11:07Oh my god, I can't handle this smoke.
11:13Do you need water?
11:15Do you need anything?
11:15No.
11:16The smoke is kicking her ass out here.
11:19It's, I don't know, smoke's rough work, so.
11:22Okay, well, don't walk over there.
11:23You got to sit right here?
11:25Yeah, I'm just gonna sit right here.
11:27It'll be better before you know it.
11:31So, um, I feel a little bit better after throwing up.
11:35The more I talk, the worse I feel.
11:37So I'm just gonna lay here and, um, so hopefully I'll feel better in the morning.
11:51Um, so we just woke up.
11:53We had a bit of a rough night, um, me, I think more than Tyler.
11:59Um, the smoke from our fire went, like, straight into where we were sleeping.
12:06And I was coughing like crazy, um, and eventually I threw up.
12:10Thus we need some options for sleep and move the fire to there.
12:16And we just barely made it through the night with enough firewood.
12:20So we really, we want to, like, have double that amount for tonight.
12:24Because, uh, elephants, I know they're around.
12:27Yeah.
12:27You think this is enough for the night?
12:28No.
12:29Do we got enough stuff to, to get us going bare minimum?
12:33For sure.
12:34Let's go out and get more firewood.
12:36Uh, no, that ain't happening.
12:37I want to try to get some food.
12:39Strange, because I thought we were getting firewood.
12:41Then, uh, you can, you can do it.
12:43Two people firewood doesn't make sense.
12:46Whatever.
12:48So, Allie didn't like that.
12:49But my plan for today is going to be some foraging.
12:53That's going to be very beneficial for us in the long run.
13:01Today, you know, we had, like, we woke up and we made a game plan of, like, hey, we really
13:07need more firewood this time.
13:08We'd like to have a lot.
13:09And then he just, like, went and foraged.
13:12It takes way more firewoods to have a big, nice fire, which is what we need to keep the animals
13:17away.
13:17I hope this is enough firewood to get through the night.
13:20There's a bunch here, a bunch there, and then some over there.
13:25So, yeah.
13:29Hmm.
13:31How about the these are?
13:33I found some type of fruit or nut, um, and they're almost squishy.
13:40Don't know what they are yet, but we got some pus coming out of this one.
13:45But it's definitely a fruit or a nut.
13:48Just don't know.
13:50I'm going to pick them all.
14:00I brought goods.
14:01Did you really?
14:02What'd you got?
14:03You ever seen these?
14:04I have.
14:04Yeah.
14:05You know what they are?
14:06Yeah, they're the other kind of cucumber.
14:08Oh.
14:09I knew they were some type of fruit.
14:12Nope.
14:13Hmm?
14:14Mm-mm.
14:16They're super bitter.
14:18You wouldn't want to eat that.
14:23Yeah.
14:24Mm-hmm.
14:27That one's really bitter.
14:29So, he just went foraging.
14:31And he comes back and he has a bunch of fruit, but it's all from the same plant.
14:36Which was weird to me, of like, if you don't know if we can eat this or not, why did
14:40you bring all of them?
14:41It should taste just like a cucumber.
14:43It doesn't taste just like a cucumber.
14:45It's not the right thing.
14:47That was a waste of energy.
15:00So, um, we have a fire right here under our rock shelter.
15:09Another little fire over here.
15:10And we're about to try to get some more sleep.
15:14So, peace out.
15:24I think it's two.
15:26And I think we have enough wood to get through until six in the morning.
15:29So, we're hoping it'll burn really slow.
15:34Anyway.
15:37What the was that?
15:42The fire is just super, super hot underneath that rock.
15:46Is that what it is?
15:47That is what it is.
15:48That's super dangerous.
15:49Because there's so much water that comes through here, there's a lot of water in the rock.
15:53We'll just have a tough night's sleep is all.
15:56I don't want to get crushed.
15:57I don't want to sleep here.
15:59Figure it out tomorrow.
16:01My concern is either the bottom is going to pop and we're going to get shrapnel or the whole thing
16:05comes down.
16:06Well, my aspect is, is like, way over here we have a little spot we can sleep.
16:10Tyler, like, I'm really frustrated with you because these things that I'm telling you are
16:14pretty dire.
16:15My aspect is, you know, if this rock separates, everything's going to go a different direction
16:18and you can get easily get crushed.
16:20I totally get what you're saying.
16:22So, I just don't look at fear in this thing.
16:25I'm not, well, I'm not being scared.
16:27I'm analyzing the bricks.
16:29All right, so, we move the fire from out under the rock to the outside.
16:37Just looking out, that's all.
16:40Um, so, move the fire into the opening out there.
16:45That way we take the hill off the rock and our partner is right over there, right outside of
16:51Oklahoma, because, yeah, this rock probably isn't safe to be under, but I'm technically not under
16:58beside it.
17:06I had such a rough night.
17:08I'm exhausted.
17:09The fire, it destabilizes the rock.
17:11You can't sleep under it, it's too dangerous.
17:13And Tyler was not concerned at all, so I don't really know like what's going on in his head.
17:20Our night last night, well, we put our fire under the overhang of a rock.
17:26It started, like, crack-a-lacking all night, so we had to move our fire around.
17:30Allie was definitely flipping out.
17:33She was definitely stressing a little bit.
17:35Um, I guess you could say I was a little bit frustrated, a little bit pissed off.
17:41She complained about everything.
17:43First the smoke, and then it's the wall, rather than just accepting it and keeping your mouth shut.
17:48I'm pretty committed to the challenge, but you never know.
17:52Um, anything can change, especially with what, with what I'm feeling.
17:59How long do you think we should stay here?
18:01I think we've been, we're going to burn so much energy just getting firewood from further and further
18:05away.
18:07I don't like anything about this spot.
18:08Yeah.
18:09You can't build a stable structure when you're on a slope.
18:11You know, it ain't going to keep you no warm under there.
18:14You can't make any type of fire, so you don't want to move.
18:19Yeah, for sure.
18:20When we got here, I was really excited about the overhanging rock because it was an opportunity to
18:25have a, like, an instant dry shelter and a place to have a fire out of the rain.
18:30But now, we can't build underneath the rock anymore because it's too dangerous.
18:36So, we have made the decision to leave.
18:40So, here's our map.
18:42We're here?
18:43Yep.
18:43We're going to have to cut up.
18:45It'll definitely be a major advantage, I think.
18:47I like going this way because then we will have less sun exposure, like, at the height of the day.
18:52Yep, absolutely.
18:53Let's hit the road.
18:54I think we're good.
18:55Yeah.
18:57Allison and Tyler have decided to move to the second water source in the area,
19:02a lagoon five miles east that draws animals from miles around.
19:07To get there, they must travel through a dry, rocky riverbed, deeper into prime ambush territory.
19:17And you got a heavy step over here.
19:20Watch your step.
19:22Good?
19:22Yeah, I'm good.
19:23And you're trying to kind of stay out of that longer vegetation.
19:26Oh, you okay?
19:27Yeah, I was looking at you and not looking where I was stepping.
19:28Okay.
19:29Trying to be real light-footed.
19:30Be very careful putting your foot down.
19:32I, well, it wasn't like I, I do step pretty light-footed.
19:35I just stepped on a big, sharp rock.
19:36So, we just, uh, try to keep, like, a continuous pace, but stay a little light-footed,
19:41especially being on these rocks.
19:43Might I remind you?
19:45I do lead, like, trips through things like this.
19:49I know, I'm just saying.
19:50Pretty comfortable in walking through this kind of terrain.
19:52Well, you're the one that complained about your feet, not me.
19:54So, I'm just looking out for you.
19:56Tyler is talking about managing our risks and our energy.
20:00And I was like, okay, that's cool.
20:01I'm glad you feel really comfortable walking.
20:04But I just chose to give him some grace and not be snippy.
20:08For now, I'm gonna just move on.
20:10And we need to turn left.
20:12Looks like this is the best spot.
20:13Yep.
20:14Yeah, this could, this could be the cut-up that we need to get to that new spot.
20:19Okay, so, light-footed and alert.
20:24Bunch of ants on the ground up here.
20:26Um, they don't look like they're our friends.
20:28I'm gonna try to just step over.
20:29I think I might go this way.
20:31What?
20:31The trail goes this way.
20:32I think this way looks better.
20:33Well, we shouldn't stay far apart, so.
20:35We're pretty close together.
20:37Uh, it's okay.
20:38I'm worried about Allie.
20:39I don't know.
20:40She's carrying her weight, I guess.
20:42But I'm not sure I want to stay here any longer.
20:45Especially with her complaining about everything.
20:47I don't know.
20:48This looks a bit clearer over here.
20:50I mean, you can think that, and then you gotta cross mud hole up there.
20:53No.
20:54Just dry this way.
20:55Okay.
20:55I'm just following later.
21:02Well, I found our water source.
21:04Yeah, it looks full of, uh, interesting things.
21:07Uh, move away that top layer and just pull a 15-minute roll,
21:11and this water will be okay.
21:17We're getting close to where we should put a camp.
21:20Yeah.
21:20There's an acacia right here.
21:22Yep.
21:23That's great.
21:24Uh, yeah, you wanna dip in here?
21:25Yeah.
21:26We could use, like, you know, this space in here.
21:29Um, yeah, I would not do this.
21:32I would not put it anywhere near the middle of where a game would walk.
21:37We could go right there and under the acacia thorns.
21:40I'm talking not building on a game trail.
21:44So I'm very aware that I am in a hostile environment.
21:49There are prints everywhere here.
21:51Everywhere.
21:52You can't take a step and not see a track.
21:55Let's take a look around, uh, this outside.
21:58Maybe right here.
21:59We cleared the inside of this.
22:01But look, there's elephant prints literally right here.
22:04This is not off the trail.
22:05Okay, well, we're in Africa and there's elephants everywhere.
22:07Hey, buddy, you were saying that we needed to get off the game trail.
22:10That's off the game trail.
22:11I'm talking not building on a game trail where they walk.
22:14Right, for sure.
22:15Their tracks are here.
22:17Not there.
22:17They're not walking there.
22:18We can create a ring around here.
22:20Once we have a fire going, it's gonna help us a lot.
22:23I just feel like we need better sight line.
22:25What is wrong with this?
22:26You were the one who's like, we can't be by a game trail.
22:28We can't be by a game trail.
22:29Well, there's two game trails right here.
22:32We're in the middle of them.
22:33Okay, and there's a game trail here and there's a game trail here and here and up here.
22:37I mean, they're everywhere.
22:38You're not avoiding the game trail.
22:40No, I, okay, I'm just.
22:42I'll let you make this call.
22:44This is for your comfort.
22:46Dude, you don't like anything I've said.
22:48Look at my point of view.
22:49You have a bow.
22:50You have fresh water.
22:51I brought you here.
22:52You didn't get me here.
22:54I got myself here.
22:55Did I listen to you bitch and complain about the smokes and everything else last night in the shelter?
22:59Yes.
22:59You're so full of .
23:02Really?
23:02Yeah.
23:03You know what?
23:03I'm tapping.
23:04I'm done.
23:13We could use like, you know, this space in here.
23:19No, I'm done.
23:20I'm done.
23:21I think you will do great things out here and I think you're very capable and strong.
23:25I got you here and I know you're here and you're in a safe area.
23:28You didn't get me here.
23:28I got myself here.
23:29I'm not saying I got you.
23:30I'm not talking to you then.
23:31Do you want the over or no?
23:32Dude, this is, this is, this sucks, man.
23:34Yeah.
23:35Like, let's be clear.
23:36I was hoping we would work together as a team and I don't need you to tell me.
23:40I've given you everything you need.
23:42There's water, there's shade, there's this, there's that.
23:44I can hold my own and I can pull my own.
23:46So I was hoping that you just were making some assumptions about my skill level and abilities.
23:51Oh, yeah.
23:51And that in a few days, you would see like, oh, Ali knows her .
23:54You know what?
23:55And you would stop.
23:56That's okay.
23:56You know what?
23:57Take this.
23:58I'm done.
23:59Because I'm not arguing with you no more.
24:01I'm being genuine.
24:02Okay.
24:03That's, yeah.
24:03No.
24:04I think that I do have a lot of growing to do as a person.
24:10And I'm sorry I seem self-centered.
24:13But I'm done.
24:15I called a producer.
24:16I'm tapping out.
24:18What's going on?
24:20I'm tapping out.
24:24You don't want to give it another day?
24:26No.
24:26I think that's it.
24:28100% sure.
24:29100%.
24:29All right.
24:30All right.
24:31Kick some ass.
24:32Good luck.
24:34I made my choice.
24:35This is it.
24:36I haven't struggled.
24:37I've had no problem with this.
24:39I'm physically capable, but I thought about it.
24:42She's made some slick comments all the time.
24:44So I either said, you know what?
24:45With the smart comments that have came out of my mouth, I said,
24:48you're strong.
24:49You can do this for your survival.
24:51You can build a shelter in the BOMO without nobody.
24:55Rather than continuing this challenge,
24:56I think I'm going to go home, go hit some golf balls with my brother,
24:59drink some cold beer, sit down, relax.
25:04After just three days in the bush, Tyler exits the challenge.
25:08His PSR drops from 6.3 to 5.1.
25:18You know, it's more work for me, and it's scarier for me.
25:24But I can do it.
25:25It's OK.
25:26So Tyler just tapped.
25:28Yeah, we kind of fought immediately.
25:29And I felt like I was just making suggestions.
25:33I didn't think I was being hypercritical of what he wanted.
25:37I think he took me kind of pushing back on him as like me fighting him.
25:41I hope I didn't.
25:44I can be bossy sometimes.
25:46I just had such a hard time communicating with him,
25:49and he refused to communicate with me, and that ended up in a big blow up.
25:53So this place is good enough.
25:56I might clear away just a little bit of brush, close that stuff in.
26:00I'm going to try to make this BOMO as small as I can,
26:03because the smaller it is, the less work I have to do.
26:05I think I'm going to go from this tree to that clump.
26:08It'll be like a triangle.
26:09I could get this closed in pretty well with acacia.
26:12Just have to keep working, and it's really just,
26:15I need to get this good enough to get me through the night.
26:17That worked fairly well.
26:23Yeah.
26:24It is.
26:25The next 18 days is going to be brutal.
26:31I need to keep that fire going all night.
26:34I have some wood right there.
26:43Elephants.
26:44Yeah, really close.
26:46So I'm hoping that my fire will be big enough,
26:49and they'll stay away.
26:50I'm not really expecting to get much sleep,
26:52because I'm kind of freaked out.
26:54To think about there's all these big cats,
26:56and the only thing between me and them is, you know,
26:58some thorns.
27:23There are elephants on both sides of me.
27:26There are elephants on both sides of me.
27:33There are elephants on both sides of the open.
27:33It's a lot.
27:36Way too close for comfort.
27:38It's just so scary to be stuck in this boma and have an elephant that close.
27:57um well me and my filthy face made it through the night it was pretty noisy i didn't get too
28:03much
28:03sleep i just have to get just day by day on my own without tyler it is scary and it
28:10would be nice if
28:11there was someone else but if i wasn't scared then there's no opportunity to be brave i've been
28:18watching this pond and i haven't seen any crock eyes and snouts coming up out of the water that
28:24doesn't mean that they're not here basically all night i heard like flopping of fish so my plan is
28:31try my hand at some fishing and see if i can catch something
28:41oh hey there's a tree i'm gonna make an improvised fishing rig there we go i'm gonna do cane pole
28:50fishing so i cut a cane and i got a bunch of strips of bark that i made a big
28:56long fishing line so i
28:58just need to make the right hook and hopefully i'll get a fish
29:06i have an acacia thorn right here that's shaped kind of like a hook plus this was really hard
29:12which is a good for making a hook and i have a worm and a praying mantis as bait so
29:19maybe this will work
29:25i'm really hoping that this works because it's gonna suck to not get any food i don't know what
29:32i'm gonna feel like in like 10 days that's a little scary for me
29:38he's like ducked i think i can shoot that
29:44oh
29:49he broke the hook yeah hook that i was using i think is not strong enough for these fish so
29:56i'll try
29:57to shoot a duck kind of a bummer
30:01and that duck wants to land there you go see if i can get that duck
30:08i've got tyler's bow and he's got some bird heads for his arrows i'm really hungry
30:14duck for breakfast would be pretty awesome 30 yards or something man that's a tough shot
30:37oh man it's so close i'm really really really hungry i wish i could have shot that stupid duck
30:57oh there's a lion
31:04i can't tell how close or how far a line is from me based on the sound um the big
31:10cats they like to hunt
31:12more at the full moon um lots and lots of people have been eaten by prides of lions
31:22that um all i can do is keep my fire going
31:40i hear lions
31:47this morning i woke up and heard a bunch of lions
31:51um kind of in the woods in that direction they're pretty loud and it sounds like there's a lot of
31:57them so that's scary i would love to be able to hunt again but i am worried about the lions
32:06it's definitely a hard hunting scenario i don't want to get eaten alive
32:25it's kind of close
32:43this place does not make it easy
32:52having not eaten it's making me feel a little dizzy
32:56i am very very very hungry i've lost tons of muscle having energy for extraction is crucial
33:02i'd love to find some food well this is exciting there's monkey finger literally right here
33:14first monkey finger fruit oh i'm so excited
33:21oh it's like it's kind of herbally and tart there's definitely sugar in here for sure any kind of food
33:28is
33:28a morale boost so i'm hoping when i'm like feeling really low i'll be able to eat some of this
33:33and feel
33:33a little better it's nice to find some calories you wouldn't know just like a handful of calories
34:01it's really raining i gotta stay on top of this fire
34:07it's really raining i gotta stay on top of this fire
34:30like i have enough firewood it's just too much
34:35it's just too much
35:03you know one of my close friends asked me was like you're always taking all these wild
35:08opportunities like what drives you death death is what drives me and like you're not gonna be a
35:15badass if you don't do badass stuff my goal is to you know be the most badass of all my
35:22friends
35:23but at the same token I feel death at my heels all the time we have no idea how much
35:31time we have
35:32left and so when I have an opportunity to do something incredible I take it
35:43oh I just got the stung by something
35:49my thumbs
35:52I'm so mad
35:54I just thought I could do the right
36:13day 21 and I got stuck by a scorpion but I guess I didn't get a full venom load because
36:19my thumb feels it just feels like I burnt the crap out of it but it feels way better than
36:24it did
36:25a few hours ago so I had a pretty rough night but I made it through this is the final
36:31little
36:31challenge and once I'm done then I can say I actually did it so it's just the last little
36:36push the last little bit I am right here and I'm headed to here so looks like I need to
36:44ultimately
36:45go that way after 21 brutal days in the Luangua Valley Allie makes her final trek through the
36:51deadly Zambian bush her extraction point lies three miles south atop a ridge overlooking the valley
36:57she must follow an elephant game trail through the mud soaked terrain while keeping an eye out for the
37:03numerous herds that roam the area equipped with 200 million cent receptors and acute hearing they're
37:09capable of detecting humans from over a mile away and can charge without warning
37:22walking through this field with all these elephant footprints is absolutely exhausting it's really
37:26hard I can never tell which one I'm going to completely fall into
37:32it's just hard to walk right there
37:36this is hard just because of the mud it's not even uphill
37:46there's elephants over there and there's a buffalo over there
37:54so I'm going to try to go kind of around the buffalo because that's safer than going towards
38:00the elephant because they'll just charge you
38:04I'm telling myself like I shouldn't be scared
38:08usually pretty good at managing my fear
38:14but that is a big dangerous animal keeping an eye on that elephant because I don't want to get too
38:19close
38:21getting through this
38:26the buffalo ran off so it's a clear shot across this field
38:55I can't believe how many thorns there are no matter what kind of ecosystem I'm in
39:01there's just thorns everywhere
39:06I have a thorn in my toe it's killing me but it's been 21 days I've been through so much
39:13there's nothing that the hike can throw at me that I'm not going to tackle
39:17one foot in front of the other
39:20except when I step on a thorn and then it's hot for a second
39:25getting through this
39:33getting close
39:35can't see the top but that's got to be my hill
39:37we're definitely climbing
39:38as much as I would love to charge up that hill
39:41I can't go faster
39:47that's so epic
39:55oh there's the oh that's definitely a truck for me
40:06I did it we're done oh man all done
40:10I'm so happy elated proud of myself and thrilled and all the things
40:21I did it I'm done
40:23I did that like almost all by myself the whole almost the whole time
40:31sometimes the attitude that helps you get through the challenges is being able to control that
40:36mental game to accomplish what you need is I think is the most critical
40:40having my partner tap early was one of the best things that could have happened to me for this challenge
40:45my comfort with being alone definitely grew
40:49amazing to be on the other side of the hardest thing I've ever done
40:54and I've done it
40:55so I didn't tap
40:57I made it through everything
41:00which is really incredible
41:01I tried to think of it as an opportunity to be brave
41:05being brave means being scared and doing it anyway
41:08Allie completes the challenge
41:10shedding 10 pounds
41:12while her primitive survival rating jumps from 6.7 to 7.2
41:18this is epic
41:20you know the way you approach things and your mentality makes
41:23can really make or break you
41:25woohoo I did it
41:28woohoo
41:29woohoo
