00:01This is it, I'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 respected.
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.
00:28All right, I'm done talking to you then.
00:30Like, let's be clear.
00:30You'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.
00:49Ah!
00:50Go, go, go, go.
00:52No food.
00:53Ah!
00:54Ah!
00:57No water.
00:59Ah!
01:0021 days.
01:02Don't tap.
01:02Ah!
01:04Die first.
01:05Naked and afraid.
01:16These 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.
01:47Zambia'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, including
02:09the seven-ton African elephant.
02:11This unpredictable giant is capable of reaching charging speeds of 25 miles per hour, crushing
02:18anything in its path.
02:24I'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 get to them very
02:33easy.
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
02:58get through it, I think that's what makes me so nervous.
03:06All right, sorry, Mom.
03:08Pretty, pretty naked right now.
03:10And, um, we're in the bush.
03:13This is super excited.
03:14I, uh, 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.
03:39Let'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.
03:53Hi, Tyler.
03:54I'm Ali.
03:54Nice 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?
04:05So I'm a wilderness instructor.
04:07So I, like, 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
04:22and help them through various challenges 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,
04:35I would have told you that I wanted to live in the woods off the land.
04:41So you got a lot of experience, though, like, survival life?
04:43I have some experience, yes.
04:45Some experience?
04:45Yeah, with some survival skills, for sure.
04:47How about you?
04:48I'm a tree climber.
04:49And 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,
05:02considering I spend a ton of time in the woods with nature.
05:05So I just weave some palm fronds together.
05:07That's my palm frond roof.
05:08I'm really good with trapping, shelter building, fire skills, and hunting.
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 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 and send it.
05:32Yeah, just send it.
05:34Yeah, for sure.
05:36Well, um, do you want to see what we got?
05:37Yeah, I do want to see what we got.
05:39Yeah.
05:40Uh, this looks like yours.
05:42Yeah, that's mine.
05:43I 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.
05:53Um, yeah, so this is the blade and then we do have a little baby saw blade just in case
05:58we need it, so.
05:59Perfect.
06:00In addition to their survival items, Allison and Tyler have been given a pot to boil water
06:06and 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'll be nice anyways towards the end to be a little closer to extraction.
06:27Oh, right, yeah.
06:27So, well, 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.
07:08So, let's get, let's catch a game trail.
07:10If you come right here.
07:11You see one?
07:11Uh, we'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.
07:20Let'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 gonna cut right again right here.
07:35Okay.
07:36All right, it'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.
07:45Be careful on the step.
07:47Oh, watch your step right there.
07:50You should go left.
07:52I'm gonna cut over there, right here.
07:54I just, I personally didn't want to cut through that right there.
07:57Okay.
07:59What's your boyfriend there watching you coming on the show?
08:01Oh, he's really excited for me to be here.
08:02He actually was, he was like, I hope you get some, like,
08:06alpha bro who thinks you don't know anything and he has to take care of you.
08:09And, like, doesn't realize that you have a good amount of skills.
08:13Um, I can, I can be bossy sometimes.
08:16Yeah, I kind of am the alpha one.
08:19What?
08:20Yeah, it's just 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, that's for sure.
08:39Oh, yeah, look at here.
08:41Oh, yeah.
08:42Starting 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.
08:51Do you see the big one behind the tree?
08:53Seeking protection from the impending storm, Allison 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.
09:07Yep, we can 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 your idea here?
09:18I'm just blocking this entrance.
09:19That's all I'm doing.
09:21That's it.
09:21What do you think?
09:23I think I probably wouldn't worry about that entrance because once we get a fire going,
09:27we 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, so we're having to move
09:34faster than I
09:34really would like to.
09:36We have no control over the weather and 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.
09:55Rain.
09:56Can't do without a fire.
09:58Just 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, keeping wood dry.
10:08And keeping a fire going is going to be extremely important because of safety
10:12and keeping our water boiling and keeping these animals away.
10:16Nice.
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.
10:31It looks like it stopped raining.
10:36Super windy.
10:38It's, I don't know, smoke's rough work.
10:42Smoke?
10:43My eyes watering.
10:45You good over there?
10:47Oh my God, I can't handle the smoke.
11:13You need water, 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.
11:24You're going to sit right here?
11:25Yeah, I'm just going to sit right here.
11:26I'm just going to sit right here.
11:27It'll be better before you know it.
11:32So, I feel a little bit better after throwing up.
11:35The more I talk, the worse I feel.
11:37So, I'm just going to lay here and, um, so hopefully I'll feel better in the morning.
11:51Um, so we just woke up.
11:54We had a bit of a rough night.
11:55Um, 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.
12:08Um, 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 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,
13:06we really need 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,
13:15which is what we need to keep the animals away.
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.
13:23So, yeah.
13:29Hmm.
13:31I don't know what the these are.
13:33I found some type of fruit or nut, um, and they're almost squishy.
13:40I don'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?
14:02You 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?
14:14Uh-uh.
14:16They're super bitter.
14:17You wouldn't want to eat that.
14:23Yeah.
14:24Mm-hmm.
14:26That one's really bitter.
14:28So he just went foraging, and he comes back and he has a bunch of fruit, but it's all from
14:34the same plant,
14:36which was weird to me, of like, well, if you don't know if we can eat this or not,
14:40why did you bring all of them?
14:42It 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.
14:48It doesn't taste just like a cucumber.
15:01So, um, we have a-
