- Nothing I'm doing
is working.

I am officially tapping out.

- Holy [bleep].
Yeah, baby.

No!

[groans]

- We have food!
Yeah.

See how big that is?

- There's a moose over there.

male narrator: In "Alone's"
coldest location ever,

ten participants
fight to survive the Arctic...

- The Arctic
is one of the most

physically demanding
places on Earth.

- So freakin' cold right now.

narrator: Battling
sub-zero temperatures...

- This climate's harsh.
It's extreme.

It's mean.
It's got teeth.

- Get caught out here in
a whiteout, you're in trouble.

narrator:
Vicious predators...

- Just heard something big
moving back there.

- It's me against
a wolverine right now.



narrator:
And isolation.

- There's nothing
to fill that void.

It's just you left alone
with your thoughts.

narrator:
How long will they endure?

- [grunts]
- House is on fire.

- I'm scared,
but I don't want to tap.

- This is the most
unforgiving landscape

I've ever seen.

narrator: The last one
standing wins.

- This environment
will strip away

everything and anything
you thought you had.

[bow snaps]

- Holy cow, I nailed it.

[moose moans]

[exhales sharply]

My heart is pumping so fast
right now.

[moose moans]

Just hit that moose.

[moose continues moaning]

♪

Oh, man.
Crazy.

Some good bubbly blood
on there.

♪

[sniffles]
Uh-oh.

Kind of lost the blood trail
I found.

I know it's still going
somewhere, but...

[groans]

Moose leave surprisingly
small, faint footsteps...

In this hard land
of burnt stuff.

So weird to go
between here and there.

♪

[ominous music]

♪

Holy cow.

♪

[moose moans]

♪

I wish I could put him
out of his misery,

but that's too big of a risk.

It could either run off
or just kill me immediately.

♪

I'm gonna be really nervous

until I finally have
that thing.

♪

[birds chirping]

- [chuckles goofily]
What in tarnations?

[laughs maniacally]

That's horrible.

[grunts]

Ew.

Is that what [bleep] happens

after I eat [bleep]
crowberries?

Oh, my God,
that looks horrible.

[growls]

You kids stay off my lawn!
[grunts, sniffs]

[ambient music]

I'm glad the berries
have been around,

but I'm starving.

I need meat.

I'm just trying to fight
the hunger,

and that's only gonna last
so long.

♪

Today...

I'd really like to
just go ahead

and get a fish or three.

♪

I'm losing my belly,

but everybody loses weight
out here, you know.

Unless they've already got
a moose or 40 fish.

♪

My consciousness doesn't want
to accept

anything other than victory.

However, my mind
doesn't understand that.

The first initial response
for your body and mind

are to retreat,
move to comfort,

move to food, move to
better shelter--a bed.

You're having
to constantly be adapting

to your changing physical
and mind state.

Well, I think I might have
missed the witching hour.

It is just quiet
as quiet can be.

[sniffs, exhales deeply]

[foreboding music]

♪

- I always wonder--
and I shouldn't,

but I always wonder
if somebody got something big.

You know, is somebody eating
moose right now?

Hoo.
Can you imagine...

sitting next to a fire

chewing on
a big old moose steak?

[sucks teeth]

I am so tired.
I need some food.

♪

We're gonna go hike up
in that draw,

see what's running around
up there

and to know where
things are living.

To start a hike is like
starting a good book.

You kind of just pick
a direction, and you just go.

And you get to read
what's happening,

what's going on,
what's happened over time.

I'm always trying to learn
the land

and connect with the land
and feel with the land.

And that work can lead
to food.

A game trail right there.

Something was coming in
and out here a bunch.

The trails I'm looking at
are pretty well packed trails.

I don't think caribou
are using it.

I think the caribou are
up higher.

I think moose
have been using it,

but I don't think
they're using it anymore.

So, needless to say,
I'm really glad

I did not bring a bow.

[grunts]

No food.

In all the training
I've received,

big game is never the way
you go.

You always set up
and prepare for,

instead of that one moose,
the hundreds of other things

that are out there.

If you're a student
of the show

and you look back
at five other seasons,

how many people
have landed big game?

It doesn't make sense to me,

so I am extremely happy
I did not bring a bow.

This area,
right now at this time,

there's nothing big moving.

I need to switch gears.

[dramatic music]

♪

- [exhales sharply]

Just waiting, waiting,
waiting...

[moose groans]

I do not want him getting up
and running off.

Oh, boy, he's just giving
last desperate attempts.

[ground crunches]

Oh.

Oh, man.

It's dead!

Yeah!

♪

Hallelujah!

Oh, thank you, Lord.

♪

What a beast.
This is awesome.

♪

Oh, man.

I knew this would be
a problem

if I happened to get a moose,

to skin the whole thing
with this thing.

[laughs]

That was a risk
I was willing to take.

How do I start gutting
a massive moose by myself?

That's a...

that'll be a chore.

♪

I lived amongst the Evenki
in Siberia.

We shot a moose
in the middle of the summer,

and we chopped it up
into little cubes.

But, you know, there's, like,
a tribe of us doing it, so...

This is the first moose
I've killed and processed

on my own,
and it's a ton of work.

♪

Can't quit, dark's coming.

There's obviously a ton
of predators around here,

and they know where
the meat's at.

Let's try cutting off
the back leg,

seems like the thing to do.

I would really like
the weather to come.

It's kind of like living
in a refrigerator right now.

I'd definitely would rather
live in a freezer

and because
the meat spoiling's a concern.

There's the joint.

Whoo.
There's the femoral artery.

Yikes.

She's almost free.

Whoa, look at althat meat.

[uneasy music]

Let's see what we're dealing
with in there.

♪

I just want to reach up there
and free up

the stomach and the guts,
so I can pull 'em all out.

♪

Holy cow.

[liquid spilling]

Gosh dang it.

Can't believe I did that.

♪

The stomach opened up,

and Niagara Falls
just happened.

♪

[grunts]
Never done that before.

This is such good meat,

and it's so covered in crap.

A lazy moment--that's gonna
cost me so much meat.

Big mistake.

Well, after that debacle,

let's just carry it over
while there's still light.

Head is decapitated.
[grunts]

♪

[groans]

A heart as big as my head.
Look at that.

♪

Mm, man.

That will be good.

Right now it's getting dark.
I got to haul this meat back.

Animals, of course,
they're more active at night,

and it's a very dangerous
situation.

Okay, guys.

There's a lot of smoking to do.

My dad was diagnosed
with cancer.

He didn't even go get help
or treatment.

He started drinking heavily.

My dad died

like that,

The moose head up there
in the tree.

for me,

thinking of solutions.

really is that

all this meat spoils.

Okay, so we got
a quick change of plans.

I just walked out my door,

of wolverine tracks.

They have been snowed in
a little bit,

just pre-dawn.

That's the first...

"larger than a squirrel
or a rabbit" game tracks

I've seen
in this entire basin.

That's awesome.

Looks like they head
this direction.

Ah, this is super exciting
for me,

so I'm gonna go
and do something about it.

♪

I kind of feel like
I'm starting to understand

the lack of wildlife.

And I think it has something
to do with two things--

the season and the fact that
there was a big fire here,

all over through this area

for thousands and thousands
of acres.

So this wolverine's
a big thing.

I've been going double time
after this thing.

about rabbit biology.

And wild rabbits,
their skin is so thin

in a tube, essentially,
