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.
02:12This 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 make
02:32get into them very easy, but 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
02:57take to get 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.
03:39Like, 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.
03:53Hi, 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.
03:59Uh, Florida.
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, um, 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, and other than that, I adventure everywhere
04:50and 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, um,
05:01considering 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
05:20bad mother truckers.
05:23Man, being a tree climber, I love that.
05:25So I just hope that we can both work together and, like,
05:28I'll pull my weight, you pull your weight.
05:30We'll just work together and balance it.
05:31Just 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,
05:58just in case we 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.
06:23And then we'll bounce over.
06:24This would 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,
06:38four 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.
07:01Bunch 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 be there.
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 going to cut right again right here.
07:35Okay.
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.
07:45Be careful in the step.
07:48Watch your step right there.
07:50I think we should go left.
07:52I'm going to cut over there right here.
07:54I just, I personally didn't want to cut through that right there.
07:57Okay.
07:59But your boyfriend, they're 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, 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, 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.
08:39Yeah.
08:39Oh yeah, look at here.
08:41Oh yeah.
08:42Starting to rain.
08:43Yeah.
08:44The 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?
08:53Yep, yep.
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, it's kind of hard to get
09:06in here.
09:07Yep, we can make it work.
09:09So 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.
09:22What do you think?
09:24I probably wouldn't worry about that entrance because once we get a fire going, we can just call it a
09:28day.
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 really
09:35would 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, that 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.
10:06Keeping wood dry and 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 blow a little now.
10:28Yeah.
10:31Looks 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 this smother.
11:03You good over there?
11:05Oh my god, I can't handle this smother.
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 gonna sit right here?
11:25Yeah, I'm just gonna sit right here.
11:26I'm 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,
11:41so hopefully I'll feel better in the morning.
11:51Um, so we just woke up.
11:53We had a bit of a rough night.
11:56Um, 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.
12:13And 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,
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 firewood 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.
13:25So, yeah.
13:29Hm.
13:31I don't know what the these are.
13:33I found some type of fruit or nut, um, and they're almost squishy.
13:40Don'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?
14:02You ever seen these?
14:03I have.
14:04Yeah.
14:05You know what they are?
14:06Yeah, they're the other kind of cucumber.
14:08I knew they were some type of fruit.
14:12Nope.
14:13Hm?
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, 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.
14:43If it doesn't taste just like a cucumber, it's not the right thing.
14:47That was a waste of energy.
14:49Yeah.
15:01So, 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, and I think we have enough wood to get through until six in the morning, so.
15:30We're hoping it'll burn really slow.
15:34I know what I mean.
15:37What the was that?
15:39The rock fest.
15:40Yeah.
15:40Let's get up.
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.
15:49It's because there's so much water that comes through here.
15:51There'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,
16:04or the whole thing comes down.
16:06Well, my aspect is, is, like, way over here, we have a little spot where we can sleep.
16:10Tyler, like, I'm really frustrated with you because these things that I'm telling you are pretty dire.
16:15My aspect is, like...
16:16If this rock separates, everything's going to go a different direction, and you can easily get crushed.
16:20I totally get what you're saying.
16:22So, I'm...
16:23I just don't look at fear in this thing.
16:25Give us my...
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, so...
16:37Just looking out, that's all.
16:40Um, so move the fire into the opening out there.
16:46That way, we take the heat off the rock, and our partner is right over there.
16:50Right outside of Roma, because, yeah, this rock probably isn't safe to be under,
16:56but I'm technically not under it.
16:58I'm beside it, so, yeah.
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.
17:12It'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.
17:26Started, 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.
17:36Um, 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,
17:45rather than just accepting it and keeping your mouth shut.
17:48I'm pretty committed to the challenge, but you never know.
17:52Anything can change, especially with what, with what I'm feeling.
17:59How long do you think we should stay here? I think we've been, we're going to burn so much energy
18:03just getting firewood from further and further away.
18:06Mmm, I 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,
18:23because it was an opportunity to have an instant dry shelter,
18:28and 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,
18:51like at the height of the day.
18:52Yep, absolutely.
18:53Let's hit the road.
18:54Think 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,
19:10deeper into prime ambush territory.
19:17You got a heavy step over here.
19:20Watch your step.
19:21Good?
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 will.
19:32It wasn't like I...
19:33I do step pretty light-footed.
19:35I just stepped on a big sharp rock.
19:36I'd say we just try to keep like a continuous pace, but stay a little light-footed, especially being on
19:42these rocks.
19:43Might I remind you, I do lead like trips through things like this.
19:49I know, I'm just saying...
19:50I feel pretty comfortable 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 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.
20:26They don't look like they're our friends.
20:28I'm trying to just step over.
20:29I think I might go this way.
20:30What? The 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...
20:37That's okay.
20:38I'm worried about Allie.
20:39I don't know.
20:40She's carrying her weight, I guess.
20:41But 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 got to cross mud hole up there.
20:53No.
20:54Just drive this way.
20:55Okay.
20:55I'm just following later.
21:02Well, I found our water source.
21:04Yeah, it looks full of interesting things.
21:07Uh, move away that top layer and just boil a 15-minute roll and 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.
21:22Yeah.
21:23That's great.
21:24Uh, yeah.
21:25You want to dip in here?
21:25Yeah.
21:25We 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.
21:51You 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.
22:16Not there.
22:17They're not walking there.
22:18We can create a ring around here.
22:20Once we have a fire going, it's going to help us a lot.
22:23I just feel like we need better sight lines.
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.
22:34And there's a game trail here and here and up here.
22:37I mean, they're good.
22:38They're everywhere.
22:39You're not avoiding the game.
22:40No, I.
22:40Okay, I'm just.
22:42I'll let you make this call.
22:43This is this 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
22:57everything 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.
23:10You're so full of .
23:12Really?
23:13Yeah.
23:13You know what?
23:14I'm tapping.
23:15I'm done.
23:16We 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 bow or no?
23:32Dude, this is, this is, this sucks, man.
23:34Yeah.
23:34Like, 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.
23:51And that in a few days, you would see like, oh, Ali knows her and 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 and I'm sorry I seem
24:11self-centered,
24:13but I'm done.
24:14Called 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.
24:39Physically 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.
24:50If you're a survival, you can build a shelter in the BOMO without nobody.
24:54Rather than continuing this challenge, I think I'm going to go home, go hit some golf
24:58balls with my brother, drink some cold beer, sit down, relax.
25:03After 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, but I can do it.
25:25It's OK.
25:25So Tyler just tapped.
25:28Yeah, we kind of fought immediately, and I felt like I was just making suggestions.
25:32I 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.
25:42I hope I didn't.
25:44I can be bossy sometimes.
25:46I just had such a hard time communicating with him, and he refused to communicate with me,
25:51and 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, because the smaller it is, the less
26:04work 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 can get this closed in pretty well with acacia.
26:12I just have to keep working, and it's really just going to get this good enough to get me through
26:17the night.
26:18That worked fairly well.
26:24It is the next 18 days.
26:26It's going to be brutal.
26:31I need to keep that fire going all night.
26:34I have some wood right there.
26:43Yeah, really close.
26:46So I'm hoping that my fire will be big enough, and they'll stay away.
26:50I'm not really expecting to get much sleep, because I'm kind of freaked out.
26:54To think about, there's all these big cats, and the only thing between me and them is, you know, some
26:59thorns.
27:23There are elephants on both sides of me.
27:33That's a lot.
27:35Way too close for comfort.
27:38Just so scary to be stuck in this foma 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 sleep i just have to get just day by day on my own without tyler it is scary and
28:10it would be
28:10nice if there was someone else but if i wasn't scared then there's no opportunity to be brave
28:18i've been watching this pond and i haven't seen any crock eyes and snouts coming up out of the
28:23water that doesn't mean that they're not here basically all night i heard like flopping of
28:29fish so my plan is to try 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
29:06fish i have an acacia thorn right here that's shaped kind of like a hook plus this was really
29:11hard which is a good bird making a hook and i have a worm and a praying mantis as bait
29:17so maybe this
29:19will work i'm really hoping that this works because it's gonna suck to not get any food i don't know
29:32what i'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
29:49he broke the hook the hook that i was using i think is not strong enough for
29:54these fish so i'll try to shoot a duck kind of a bummer
30:01i think 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 and that's a tough shot
30:20oh 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 lion is from me based on the sound
31:09um the big cats they like to hunt more at a full moon um
31:17lots 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
32:05um it's definitely a hard hunting scenario i don't want to get eaten alive
32:24hyena it's kind of close
32:43this place does not make it easy
32:52having not eaten it's making me feel a little dizzy
32:55i am very very very hungry i've lost tons of muscle
32:59having energy for extraction is crucial i'd love to find some food
33:03well this is exciting there's monkey finger literally right here
33:13first monkey finger fruit oh i'm so excited
33:21oh it's like it's kind of herbally and tart
33:25there's definitely sugar in here for sure
33:27any kind of food is a morale boost
33:29so i'm hoping when i'm like feeling really low
33:32i'll be able to eat some of this and feel a little better
33:34it's nice to find some calories he went as like a handful of calories
33:47these storm clouds yeah that's coming this way oh my god
34:01it's really raining i gotta stay on top of this fire
34:27i'm tired last all night until i just don't feel like i have enough firewood
34:33it's just too much
34:37i just want to sleep
35:02you know one of my close friends asked me
35:06it's like you're always taking all these wild opportunities
35:08like what drives you
35:10death death is what drives me
35:13and like you're not gonna be a badass
35:15if you don't do badass stuff
35:19my goal is to you know be the most badass of all my friends
35:23but at the same token
35:24i feel death at my heels all the time
35:29we have no idea how much time we have left
35:32and so when i have an opportunity to do something incredible
35:35i take it
35:43oh i just got stung by something
35:49my thumbs
35:52i am so mad
35:54i just thought i could do the right
36:13day 21
36:14and i got stung by a scorpion
36:16but i guess i didn't get a full venom load
36:19because my thumb feels
36:20it just feels like i burnt the crap out of it
36:22but it feels way better than it did
36:25a few hours ago
36:26so
36:27i had a pretty rough night
36:28but i made it through
36:30this is the final little challenge
36:32and once i'm done
36:33then i can say i actually did it
36:35so it's just the last little push
36:37the last little bit
36:37i am right here
36:40and i'm headed to here
36:42so
36:43looks like i need to ultimately go that way
36:46after 21 brutal days in the luangua valley
36:49ali makes her final trek through the deadly zambian bush
36:52her extraction point lies three miles south
36:55atop a ridge overlooking the valley
36:57she must follow an elephant game trail
36:59through the mud-soaked terrain
37:01while keeping an eye out for the numerous herds
37:03that roam the area
37:04equipped with 200 million cent receptors
37:07and acute hearing
37:08they're capable of detecting humans
37:10from over a mile away
37:12and can charge without warning
37:21walking through this field
37:23with all these elephant footprints
37:24is absolutely exhausting
37:26it's really hard
37:27i 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
37:38it's not even uphill
37:46there's elephants
37:47over there
37:49and there's a buffalo over there
37:54so i'm going to try to go kind of around the buffalo
37:58because that's safer than going towards the elephant
38:01because they'll just charge you
38:04i'm telling myself like i shouldn't be scared
38:07i'm usually pretty good at managing my fear
38:14but that is a big dangerous animal
38:16keeping an eye on that elephant
38:18because i don't want to get too close
38:21getting through this
38:26the buffalo ran off
38:29so it's a clear shot across this field
38:55i can't believe how many thorns there are
38:57no matter what kind of ecosystem i'm in
39:01there's just thorns everywhere
39:06i have a thorn in my toe
39:08it's killing me
39:10but it's been 21 days
39:12i've been through so much
39:13there's nothing that the hike can throw at me
39:16that i'm not going to tackle
39:17one foot in front of the other
39:20except when i step on a thorn
39:22and then it's hot for a second
39:25getting through this
39:32getting close
39:33i can'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
39:58oh that's definitely a truck for me
40:04woohoo
40:06i did it
40:07we're done
40:08oh man
40:09all done
40:10i'm so happy
40:12elated
40:13proud of myself
40:14and thrilled
40:15and all the things
40:19woohoo
40:21i did it
40:22i'm done
40:25i did that like almost all by myself
40:28almost the whole time
40:31sometimes the attitude that helps you get through the challenge
40:34is being able to control that mental game
40:37to 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 i made it through everything
41:00it's just 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
41:15to 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
41:26i did it
41:28woohoo
41:29woohoo
