Naked and Afraid (2013–…): Season 14, Episode 4 - USA vs. World - full transcript
Just kind of keep
your ears open,
keep a look out
in the trees right now.
There's nothing easy about this.
We got hail.
Phew! My heart's racing.
If you don't fight,
you won't make it.
Why is it so hard?
We're ready for war.
This landscape looks
like it doesn't want me here.
But I'm an American.
Americans don't quit.
This is a lot different from
Indiana, I can tell you that.
But I'm going all the way,
Day 21.
So this environment is
completely different than Canada.
I'm very excited to be here.
I'm representing my country.
Let's do this.
I'm gonna be showing the
world how the Scots do. But...
In this two-hour event,
two teams from different
sides of the world
attempt to survive one
of the most inhospitable
and shifting terrains on Earth,
South Africa's Pondoland.
Here, deadly predators
hide in plain sight,
and 25-mile per-hour
winds can make
for frigid conditions,
day and night.
One team represents the USA.
- Yeah.
- Too easy.
The second team is a pair
of international survivalist.
Still stronger than ever. God!
Both teams will have to survive
in two separate camps
for the first 10 days.
If they make it to Day
11, they will merge
to become a single
tribe of United Nations.
Who will survive?
Mother Nature
is a bitch sometimes.
And who will succumb?
And which team will make
their home country proud?
Bring it on.
Wearing the famous tartan kilt.
I'm gonna put
Scotland on the map,
make sure it's
known for its survival.
So you want to try
and take the moss off.
This should roll
up like a carpet.
I've always been doing
survival and bush craft
about a year ago, started
my YouTube channel.
Hi, everyone.
Welcome back to another
episode of Wild Man.
That is a big beetle.
Teaching people
about the outdoors
and how to handle themselves
when they're out there.
I feel alive when
I'm the Wild Man.
Woo-hoo.
Water purification, finding
suitable water sources
is probably the best
skills that I have.
Oh. Nice and fresh.
Scottish people, I would
say, are pretty tough.
We're mentally strong,
the hard workers.
Tapping out doesn't
exist in my world.
Jamie has
experience in primitive survival,
but strict game laws in
Scotland mean he has
limited experience
trapping and hunting.
Jamie starts the challenge
with a Primitive Survival
Rating or PSR of 7.1.
I am extremely
excited to go hunting kudu, impala,
just a little bit of
everything out here.
Oh. First shot of the day.
Couldn't get any
better than that.
I am a hunting guide.
I was... Wasn't
born in the woods,
but I say I got there
as quickly as I could.
And being from Canada,
we are known for our hunting,
trapping, fishing. So
my experience, um,
hunting and working
with black bears
is definitely gonna
help me here in Africa.
So I'm eager to get out
there, meet my partner,
and knock this
thing out of the park.
Beverly has
a lifetime of experience
hunting creatures
three times her size.
She begins with a PSR of 6.8
It's about to get weird.
The sun's gonna see things
that have never
seen the sun before.
So it's my last night at work.
All right. You
guys gonna miss me?
- Suck it up, buttercup.
- Suck it up, buttercup.
They're gonna miss me.
I grew up in New York
State and running barefoot
in the woods and shooting
slingshots at squirrel.
I have seven children.
A day in my house
is like a circus.
What do you guys think
I'm gonna see an Africa?
- Hippo.
- A hippo, black bird.
Black mamba.
The skills that I have now,
I learned in the military.
Part of my drive to do
this is the American spirit,
just a drive to want to
be the best that I can be.
And I don't like
to accept defeat.
I would never tap out.
No one's tapping.
Brandon has
battled-tested experience in survival.
He sets out with a PSR of 6.9.
There's a whole lot
of animals out here
that we don't have in Indiana.
It's only on
my wall, thankfully.
If it was this close out there,
then it's too damn late.
I joined the National
Guard when I was 33.
With my military training,
I'm coming into this
with skills for survival.
Shelter-making, fire.
I've done this before.
I was in a 21-day
challenge in Colombia,
but I only made it
to Day 20 last time.
I said 21.
And that's what
I'm doing this time.
I'm here to serve
my country right
by proving that I can do this.
Jessica has shown
resilience both in the army
and in the wild.
She begins with a PSR she earned
at the end of her
last challenge, 7.3.
Ooh, boy, this is happening.
So everybody asks,
are you a real Scotsman?
And what they mean by that is are
you wearing any underwear in your kilt?
The answer is no.
Time to go. Let's get this done.
I don't really care
about being naked.
I'm gonna rock out with my out.
The ground is soft,
which I hope it stays soft.
- Hello, partner.
- Another naked person.
- Hi, I'm Jessica.
- Jessica. Brandon.
- Nice to meet you.
- Brandon, nice to meet you.
- All right.
- Nice tattoo.
- What's that all about?
- Oh, thank you.
That is representing
Native American heritage.
And also I served in military.
- So did I.
- Yeah?
I have quite kind
of the similar thing
- going on in the back.
- Oh, nice.
Both military
and law enforcement for me.
- Okay.
- So how do you feel about being naked?
Uh, I've done this before, so.
- You've done it before?
- Yeah.
- How?
- I was, uh, in Columbia.
Everything's wet.
Cold.
It was actually, um, a
situation where I had a partner
and he tapped out in
the second morning.
Really?
Okay.
I couldn't leave
somebody like that.
So I went as long
as I possibly could.
- By yourself?
- By myself.
Made it to Day 20, and
hypothermia kicked in
- and kicked
- Oh.
So damn hard.
This is the coldest
I've been so far.
I don't wanna quit.
- That sucks.
- Yeah.
- I have some unfinished business.
- Right.
When I say I'm gonna
do something, I'm going to.
The medical tap out,
it was heartbreaking.
Um, and hypothermia, I
don't wanna do that again.
Damn sure I'm making
it to Day 21 here.
We're gonna
make it through this one.
- Hell yeah we are.
- Together.
Yeah. Knuckle bump.
I'm looking forward to seeing,
um, how this
partnership will go.
Um, it's still kind of early.
He hasn't done one and I have,
but I'm gonna be optimistic.
Let's not let Mother
Nature kick our asses here.
- Yeah. She's gonna try though.
- She's gonna try.
Yeah.
I think that's my partner there.
Wait. My partner's walking
towards me and thought,
wow, she's very attractive.
I kept having to tell myself
this is a challenge, Jamie,
this is a challenge,
a survival challenge.
So I'm starting to see
my partner in the distance.
Uh, he's definitely a
little bit easy on the eyes.
- Hello.
- Hi.
- I'm Beverly.
- Beverly, my name is Jamie.
- Nice to meet you.
- Yeah. Where are you from?
- I'm from Canada.
- Canada.
- Yes.
- Can you guess where I'm from?
- Somewhere with an accent?
- Scotland.
Scotland. Okay.
That was gonna be my next guess.
- Uh, yeah.
- Yeah.
So naked in Africa.
Well, yeah, exactly.
I mean if you wanna have
a good look, this is me.
- There you go.
- There we go.
So now we got that
awkwardness out of the way.
- Yup.
- Uh, why don't we check out our stuff?
- Yup. Yeah. Let's see.
- All right.
Each team has brought a weapon
for a hunting game.
I have my arrows here and
with my, um, recurve bows.
- I brought a slingshot.
- Okay.
Small game out here is abundant.
As well as a blade.
They've also been
given a pot for hydration,
and a fire starter
as fire is essential
to protect against
deadly predators.
- This is what I got.
- You got the map?
- Let's check this out.
- Quick gander.
Oh, I think we're right here.
We need to establish
a camp near water.
Mmm-hmm. We got rhino.
And hippo.
Make sure we're keeping
- a good distance from them.
- Yeah,
let's take advantage of this
weather. It's not too hot right now.
- Absolutely. Let's get going.
- And I guess head that way.
For the first
10 days of the challenge,
Jessica and Brandon
will attempt to survive
along the Kowie River,
an area with
aggressive black rhino,
who establish territory by
challenging another bull for space.
Black rhino will fight
themselves to the death
and have the highest recorded
rate of mortal combat of any mammal.
Let's hit the road and see
what we can come up with.
All right. Let's do this.
Jamie and
Beverly will try to survive
in an equally
threatening environment.
In a valley where leopards
target their prey from trees,
and share canopies
with territorial baboons
who will retaliate
when threatened
and are known even
to attack leopards.
A bit chilly, isn't it?
It is a wee bit chilly, yeah.
Both teams
will need to be prepared
for weather swings.
The summer months
are the windiest time
of year in Pondoland.
Here, elevated terrain
along the coastal belt
channels southeasterly
winds that can bring
powerful storms, and
make it feel 10 degrees
colder than the air temperature.
Both having
military backgrounds,
I think that gives us a good...
- Right.
- I think...
opportunity to
handle this together well.
Hopefully.
That's a black rhino marking.
We can tell
because rhinos dump their dung
into the ground to
mark their territory.
- Yeah.
- It's nerve-racking
because we don't
know where they're at.
They could be, you
know, 20 feet in front of us
behind a bush that
we don't even see them
until it's too late, and
they're charging us.
Oh, wow.
Look at that view.
- Oh, wow.
- Oh, man. I feel like...
So we must have
started the way over there.
- There's progress.
- There is.
But we're staying on track.
- Oh, look at this.
- Oh, wow.
Wow. Look at this.
Something got ate and
scattered all through here.
I know.
- It's a great ambush point.
- It is. Oh, absolutely.
It is.
Oh, there's our water source.
- Oh, yes.
- Oh, my gosh.
That is so exciting. I
was getting so thirsty.
- Woo.
- It's very murky.
- I would say we're gonna have to boil it.
- Oh.
- A lot longer than what we have to.
- Yeah, without a doubt.
We are definitely gonna need
to build a boma,
that's for sure.
- Let's see what we can find.
- Okay.
That tree over there, do you
think that's good to build around?
That one's already got all
the thorns and everything on it.
Our water source is right there.
- Yeah.
- Uh, we don't have to go too far.
- Yeah, let's get to it.
- Let's get started. All right.
Let's get started.
What we're building right now
is what you called a boma.
Just a surrounding wall of
your camp of thorn bushes.
And what it does is it
deters any predators
from entering your camp.
Down in here is the riverbank.
It actually smells like
You know what that means.
Yeah, animals.
This bank is steep.
If we're gonna be
close to the water,
that's the best spot.
If there are hippos
in this water,
they can't climb
up a steep bank.
So I like this spot in here.
We can set up a
boma for the night.
- Yeah. All right.
- All right?
- Good deal.
- Let's get to work.
Ouch.
Okay.
We're getting there.
What do you say we get
some water going as well?
- Yeah. Let's do that.
- Okay.
We are losing water fast.
I'm starting to
feel a little bit tired.
Jamie is gonna
continue working on boma
and so I'm actually
just getting ready
to, um, build a fire.
Yes. Keep going, keep going.
Jamie, fire.
We have fire.
It's just very exciting
knowing that we got fire.
We can get some water boiling,
we can finish our boma,
um, especially I don't know
how long it's gonna be, maybe
a couple of hours before nightfall.
Um, it's gonna be a lot of
predators are coming around
especially to, um,
the water source.
Get this boiling.
All right.
Hear that thunder?
- Yeah, I heard that.
- Yeah.
We're gonna be all right.
- I know.
- We're not gonna panic,
- we're gonna be fine.
- I know.
I don't like the clouds
when I see them coming.
Brings back memories of
cold, wet, and hypothermia.
I don't wanna have
that happen here.
If we don't have
fire, we won't make it.
How are you doing there?
Got better days.
This fire is not working.
- Okay. I can't right now.
- Help me out and don't panic.
- I'm doing the...
- I'm not panicking,
I'm just getting frustrated.
- I'm really...
- Worried about rain?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- Like we got it all.
- If we don't get fire,
we're gonna be
suffering tonight.
You got it.
Yes. Man.
I smell fire, good job.
You keep doing that,
I'll keep doing this.
We have to keep pushing
to get this done before dark.
We're running on daylight.
Is that rain?
- It is rain.
- Great.
Yeah. You're good chopping that.
Just trying to stay focused,
clear the vein out of my
head and just keep on going.
Even though it's raining,
it's still quite warm
and we're perspiring
quite heavily.
This water
should be cool down enough
- if you wanna have a drink.
- That looks so clean.
- It does.
- All right.
Oh, that tastes
awful, but we need it.
Hopefully I can just get
used to drinking this water,
but, oh, my God.
It's not really setting
well with my stomach.
Oh, I might be sick.
Oh, not gonna
have any more of that tonight
as much as I need water.
Hopefully no more throwing
up because that was not fun.
The rain's kind of scary.
Did your guys'
fire go out in Colombia?
- Holy
- Yeah.
So this is your luck?
This is horrible.
First night in the
boma together.
- Yeah.
- And we're naked.
It was very cold last night.
Yeah.
I am not feeling good at all.
Once again I threw
up this morning.
I definitely can't
drink that water.
So we're gonna have
to figure out a way
where we can filter
the water and purify it
a little bit more so
hopefully I can keep it down.
How are you feeling?
Not good at all.
I'm just struggling
to even walk.
I'm just trying to get
materials so I can make a filter,
but I cannot even
do that right now.
If you want you can
just sit in there by the fire.
Yeah.
Okay.
I'm worried
about rain without shelter.
We're gonna utilize bark-like
shingles to create a roof.
It's like a lean-to.
Let's knock this out.
Day one was pretty awful.
Definitely a reality check
like we're in South Africa
and South Africa decided
to on us night one.
So we're gonna building
a lean-to structure
inside our boma which
will kind of help retain
our body heat and the heat
coming off the fire at night
and the roof does provide
protection from the rain.
- What do you think?
- It's looking good.
- Yeah?
- And gonna get better, yeah.
- You gonna get more bark?
- Yeah.
Yeah. Raining and cold
did bring back memories,
but it also kind
of instilled the fact
that I've done it once,
I've pushed through
I can push through again,
at least I still have my partner.
Brandon gets it, he's
thinking of solutions
instead of letting panic set in.
- You got this?
- Nope.
Too easy.
Too easy.
Too easy is a military term,
kind of like reverse psychology
just yell out and
like "Too easy"
and it kind of motivates
you to get moving.
It's gonna slow down the beat
of the raindrops, you know?
Mmm-hmm. Yeah.
Every little bit helps.
Too easy.
Oh, God.
I'll be back.
Mmm-hmm.
To prepare for this journey,
I start to train
myself to drink a lot
of manky river water.
She's just too sick,
she can't even stand up.
Just reacts different
from person to person,
happens all the team,
so we need to come up
with a better
water source for us.
So my next move is a gypsy well.
The main function
of a gypsy well
is it creates a hole
next to a water source.
The water seeps
through over the sand
and the grit to the site
and enters into the hole
and hopefully,
it filters the water
and it get rids of any
big bits of bacteria,
any parasites, things like that.
I can hear Beverly being sick,
so this is very important
that we get this.
I already feel like
I'm a letdown to my partner
because I should be
helping getting firewood,
I should be enhancing our boma,
but I feel like I can't
do anything right now.
The gypsy well
maintains that you can drink
straight from it, but
I'm gonna make sure
that's boiled for at
least 10 minutes.
I'm gonna chuck this to the fire
and see if you like it.
Better than the other.
Yeah?
But it's still not good.
- All right.
- Ugh, my God.
Dehydration can cause nausea
which can lead to vomiting
making symptoms worse.
I don't know what I'm gonna do.
I can't go 21 days
without water.
I'm trying to
get a lot more firewood.
Remember what
happened last night?
I mean I
feel like we're definitely
ahead of the game
from last night.
Look at our wood production.
We're ready for war.
Yeah.
Is that too far
from around here?
The rhino came in and
was right over in here,
which our boma is right here.
- Right.
- We sleep right there.
See how close it was.
It's a big
animal that'd be coming
into where we sleep.
Good thing we have a boma.
Mmm-hmm.
Scary to think of how
close the black rhino was
because for people
to be that close to one,
they usually don't survive.
How are you feeling, Beverly?
Um, not good at all.
I have no water,
I have no energy,
I have nothing in
my body right now.
I'm shaking because
I'm a little bit cold,
but that's because I'm so weak.
I'm trying to run on empty
and it's proving
to be quite difficult.
Ugh.
This is the lowest I
have ever been in my life.
Uh, with all due
respect to Beverly,
for the past three
days of being constantly
doing all the work,
but it's that just
we've got to do.
If you're in survivor
situation with a partner.
I don't want
Beverly tapping out,
jeopardizes my challenge,
so just weaving a little basket.
That's honestly the last resort.
I can't afford to
lose my partner.
I want us both
to succeed in this.
Too far.
Last night, we
heard a black rhino
and it's just a reminder
not to get complacent out here.
But I generally feel
like I'm slowing down
at this point and I
know I have to eat
so I'm motivated to get
out and find something
for both of us to eat today.
There's a baboon
sitting right up here
looking down at me.
There's a couple of ducks.
So I went around
to take the shot,
they just scattered.
The ducks are hard to get.
Their eyesight is really good,
so I'm gonna have
to be a lot sneakier
if I'm gonna catch them.
There's crabs all over in here.
There's one there,
and there's one out there, too.
Come here.
This is definitely edible.
You're gonna be dinner.
Yay, dinner.
There's more in here.
I saw two of them,
so I'm not done.
There's one.
Success.
Lunch, breakfast,
whatever you wanna call it.
We're gonna eat these for sure.
It's not a lot of proteins,
but it's better than nothing.
I think the baboons
are getting curious.
They're a bit loud.
All right. I'm gonna
start heading back.
There's definitely
a group of baboons.
Their calls are
getting a little closer.
I know they can be dangerous.
I mean they could move
down this cliff-face really fast
if they wanted to.
Baboons usually send,
uh, one or two scouts
to see what's actually going on
before they move
in their whole troop.
I don't need to be
attacked by baboons.
- Hey, partner.
- Yeah.
Oh, we're gonna eat good.
- Yeah. We got dinner, baby.
- Hell, yeah.
Woo.
- There we go, too easy.
- Too easy.
I don't know if it's just
happiness or smoke in my eyes,
I'm getting teary-eyed.
We have
food. We have two crabs.
We don't have to fight over one.
I'm just looking
forward to eating.
I'm hungry.
Cheers.
Tastes great, even
without the butter.
It actually
tastes pretty decent, too.
I just saw a group of baboons.
I could hear them.
We're really gonna need
to make sure we keep our
fire going to keep them out.
Yeah.
Really hope this works to finish
the structure of
the water filter.
So first, I'm just gonna put
some stones in the bottom
to stop any grass and
sand mixing in with the water.
We'll get a layer of grass
to put on top of that now.
I'm gonna put a
slight layer of charcoal.
It really just
purifies the water.
The moment of truth.
Here we go.
It's crucial to survival.
Okay. I would say
that's about done.
It's boiling pretty well.
I really, really
hope this works.
Thank you.
I'll hold it.
Is that a better water?
Um, no, it's okay...
- Is that all right?
- I'm just gonna
- take a few sips for now.
- Yeah.
- Just little sips.
- Thank you.
It tastes better
than what I've
been drinking before.
It's not as bad so hopefully,
I can keep this down.
I hope so.
I just can't stop shaking.
This is day three.
In normal conditions,
you can go three
days without water
but in these conditions,
one day, two days,
she's lucky she's
made it this far.
That's it.
Jamie to medic, Jamie to medic.
Jamie to medic, Jamie to medic.
I'm not good at all.
Okay.
- So, zero water.
- Okay.
- Very, very weak.
- Very weak?
- Yeah. I can barely move.
- Okay.
Your heart rate is up.
So it's... This is
quite concerning
from a medical point of view.
It's, uh, extremely
important, uh, to rehydrate.
Uh, severe dehydration
could lead to organ shutdown.
Beverly's been vomiting
and nothing is staying in
even though she's
tried to drink the water.
This is quite concerning.
It's my medical opinion
that she should be removed
from the challenge.
That's horrible.
I didn't wanna go out like this.
Just whenever you're
ready, take your time.
- So sorry.
- No, don't worry.
You're a freaking
rock star. You got this.
- You got this.
- Don't worry about it at all.
I'm gonna leave my bow
and arrows with you, so...
I really appreciate
that. Thanks very much.
You're gonna do great.
Right now, I'm wishing
that I wasn't tapped
for such a stupid reason
like not being able
to drink the water.
Guys, there's different
stuff in this water
that my body just can't handle.
I am very disappointed.
I came in here to do
21, only to do three days.
I am very sorry to
leave my partner.
I let him down so much.
He is a warrior, he's a fighter,
and he's got this challenge
to Day 21 a hundred percent.
Beverly exits the challenge
more than 10 lbs lighter
than when she arrived.
Her PSR drops from 6.8 to 5.2.
I'm ready. Bring it on.
On my first day alone,
time to go hunting.
Back home, hunting
is really hard to do,
bow hunting especially,
that's completely illegal.
I can some tracks.
It could be a very small impala.
Too far away.
We've had minimal protein.
We've had a couple crabs.
I noticed the weakness
starting to set in.
So I would like to do some
more duck hunting today.
So my partner
went to go look for some food.
Go, Brandon, go.
And it's my time to do my part.
So I'm going to
look for scorpions.
You can stop right
there. Sorry, dude.
South Africa
is home to three species
of highly dangerous
thick tail scorpions
whose sting can be deadly,
but they also provide
significant nutrition
and contain over 50% protein.
Oh, there's another.
I missed another duck.
I went out to go flip some rocks
and found two scorpions.
Nice.
I'm pretty hungry.
Yeah.
Crispy, and toasty, and burnt,
just how I like it.
Like my marshmallows.
Good job on this, by the way.
I could eat, like,
20 more literally.
- Yeah.
- That's cool.
This is probably where
we'll see some hyrax.
Those hyrax are
descendants of elephants.
It's strange to think that.
They're so small.
It's a hyrax and
it's watching me.
I got so, so close.
It's a disappointment.
Well, I can
feel the breeze coming in.
Oh.
- You all right?
- I'm good.
- This morning...
- Yeah.
I woke
up with vertigo.
- Oh.
- Which was discerning to me.
I think it's the lack of sleep
because it's a mind thing.
Stress, ear infections,
and other factors
can cause vertigo,
the sensation that the
environment is spinning.
Last night was horrible.
Gather more greenery
for the top of the roof
to help plug in any
extra holes or gaps.
- Hopefully, this will help them.
- Yeah.
I haven't had luck duck hunting,
so we're running low
on energy sources.
We need to focus
on what's important,
and that's making it
through the night right now
when we have no calories
to burn to stay warm.
Been drawing my wee
pal, Sir Benjamin Littlefoot.
My little dog is 13.
I didn't think I'd be
craving company
as much as I am right now.
But when you have nothing,
when you have no food,
you have pond water to drink.
Me wee stone of Bennie
and you've only got that
to look forward to,
you get a bit lonely.
I'm actually starting to
crave some human company,
just someone I can talk to.
Yeah, okay.
It doesn't stop.
- It's okay.
- This one's lasting longer than the last ones.
Brandon, he's been
having his bouts of vertigo,
which was nerve-racking.
I hope he can hang in there.
It's kind of scary,
for me being alone
and for my partner
and his health.
Almost makes me wanna puke.
This isn't good.
It's raining. My fire.
My fire was just
smoldering away.
It's still going.
It's freezing.
This is where I ask myself
why the hell am I doing this?
Back, still stronger
than ever. God!
Horrible,
dreadful, freezing cold.
Last night, we got
some heavy rainstorms.
And unfortunately,
wee Bennie's face
kinda got washed out.
I just feel as though
I spent my time here
getting really, really,
really lonely, hungry.
Today, the plan is
to hike on out of here,
try and find a new
location for a couple of days
to see me until merge.
And I'm hoping there's gonna
be some big game as well,
more than this area.
Do a bit of hunting.
I really don't know
what I'm getting into,
but I'm willing
to put in the effort
just to get out here and
experience something new.
And then on merge
day, on Day 11,
it's just a nice wee
stroll down the river.
Got my grass kilt for now.
I'm really doing Scotland proud.
Doing this hike today,
I would've needed
to do a similar hike on Day 11.
And, of course, if
I waited till Day 11,
I'd have probably
expelled more energy.
But I've got a long way to go.
Jamie is choosing to
leave his survival area two days early,
deviating from the direct route
that leads to the merge point.
He follows the river.
- Freaked out.
- Oh, yeah.
What your body's going through,
what it's been through.
Lack of sleep, the heat,
the cold, lack of food.
Oh, yeah.
I should go
out there and go find
a bunch of scorpions
for you or something.
My partner in Colombia
left on his own terms
because he was
hungry and it was raining.
He just wasn't in
the right mindset.
This time, with my
partner, Brandon,
is in the right mindset,
but unfortunately,
we're just kind of
running low on resources.
My goal is for both of
us to make it to Day 21.
Got me a lizard.
Yo, yo.
So I got you a lizard.
This looks
just like a leopard gecko.
Mmm-hmm.
That's my battle buddy.
We watch over our battle
buddies and I'm nervous.
So he's been having vertigo.
It's been four days since
we had anything to eat.
Scorpions and a small
lizard aren't enough.
What we could do...
I think it's a good call.
We wanna move
out of here as soon as possible
and have more of an
opportunity to thrive
versus totally just being
resilient and surviving.
A little bit. Let's
look around and see
if we can find a
couple crabs and...
Hopefully we get some
food before our trip.
It's just gonna take
every bit of that energy
- and we're gonna be like...
- We're gonna need it.
Even though the sun's
not as hot just now,
it still burns,
and I can't feel my
skin burning at all,
so that's a good sign
that the clay's working.
But at the same time, it's very,
very draining physically.
Ow.
This is hard terrain
that I'm walking on,
basically just
walking on thorns.
Wow.
I see water.
So I'm just heading
towards the river
down at the bottom
of this mountain.
See anything, partner?
Mother Nature is
a bitch sometimes.
Let's head back to the
boma. It's the best thing
we can do right now,
conserve energy.
It could always be worse.
Heading towards
these white cliffs here,
maybe some sort of
overhang or cave system
where we can call shelter
if there's water there.
I need a drink.
Fast.
Holy.
- This is a surprise.
- Yeah.
Another naked person.
I need a drink.
Fast.
Holy.
Another naked person. What's up?
- Wow.
- Hey.
- How we doing?
- Yeah, I'm good. You?
- Good.
- Yeah.
- This is a surprise.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, it is.
- These things.
Bam. There's
another naked person.
We didn't expect to see
another naked person
for a few days.
- Brandon.
- Brandon, I'm Jamie.
- Jamie, nice to meet you.
- Okay.
- Jessica. Hi.
- Jessica, I'm Jamie.
- You got a nice bow.
- Yeah.
Thank you very much. This is
made by my partner, Beverly.
My partner left in day three,
six days I've been alone.
- Damn.
- Six days?
- So it's been lonely.
- Wow.
Poor guy though, he looks
like he's been through the ringer.
That was some hike.
- Yeah.
- Right.
No water.
- Well, come drink our water.
- Yeah.
Oh, that'd be really
cool if that's all right.
- Right.
- Let's go for that.
All right. The more the merrier.
So Jamie, where are you from?
I'm from Scotland.
Scotland?
That's awesome.
- We're from the US.
- Cool.
My partner, Beverly,
she was from Toronto, in Canada.
- Toronto?
- Oh, wow.
Well, I'm sorry your
partner left you, man.
I know how that goes.
You've been on a
challenge before?
Yes.
- Oh, wow.
- Yeah.
My partner left on day two.
- Day two?
- In Colombia.
I made it to Day 20 and
then hypothermia got me.
Oh, my God.
Jessica seems like a
really strong person.
To hear that she's out here,
doing this challenge again,
hearing all that was amazing.
Good. It's
good to have you, man.
Thanks very much.
I appreciate that.
Oh, my.
It's nice to just... My
mouth is so, so dry.
That hike was, I
wanna say unreal.
So you're on the
move to get closer to merge?
- Yeah, yeah.
- Okay.
One of the main
reasons why I had to leave
was I've been there
for six days alone,
freezing, with no food.
It just feels as though
I had to get away.
And, so today, I've just
walked all the way along here,
up a massive mountain,
and then back down.
Have you seen
any impala on the way?
No. None at all.
Any bushbuck?
No.
So we do need to move, then.
We're looking to also move.
It's been kind of a
struggle bus for us,
not getting food,
not getting energy.
I may have pushed
myself a little too far,
because the past couple days,
I've been having vertigo.
- Oh, really?
- I'm getting spins.
I think we should
honestly move tomorrow.
It's really up to youse.
I'm ready to go.
That sounds good,
maybe closer to extraction.
Absolutely.
Yeah. Bring it on.
To have two other
people along with me
after so long of doing
everything myself,
it's a breath of fresh air.
We've came together,
we've formed a tribe
it should make us even stronger.
Let's get the hell out of
here as soon as possible.
Right.
Jamie is a great
fit for Jess and I.
I love his resiliency.
He might be from the
other side of the world,
but we have the same goal,
and that's surviving
and making it
to the end of the 21 days.
Now it's time to finish
this together.
Definitely. I agree.
We're out here
and we're allies now.
America and Scotland are allies.
I don't know
how we're gonna do this.
Yeah?
Night, night.
Yeah, it's night, night.
Yeah.
And I'm... and I'm
pretty stoked.
I got... I got two battles
now, not just one.
Mmm-hmm. Are
you okay over there Jamie?
Yeah, I'm feeling
really good actually.
I got nowhere to go.
And I think I'm gonna be
really warm tonight
guys, thank you.
Today we're gonna...
we're gonna move forward.
Find a new location.
On our way to warm.
I had really tough
fight yesterday,
another tough fight
today but never give up.
Never quit.
We're right in here.
We wanna be
halfway to extraction.
If we can get as
close as those caves
- that'd be cool.
- Mmm-hmm.
Hopefully
there'll be animals there.
- Oh, yeah.
- All right.
- Let's go.
- Are you ready?
- Let's roll.
- Let's do this.
At this location we've been at,
it's been very
scarce with the food
and we've got
three mouths to feed
so we've got to move.
Oh, let's do this.
Let's go to our new home.
For the three-mile
trek to their new campsite,
the group will head south
past the dangerous baboon caves.
They must also
navigate their way
through dense forest
and plains carpeted with bindi,
a weed that produces seeds
covered with hook spines
that can easily
pierce human skin.
Oh, man.
The sun just beats
straight down on top of you,
especially climbing
up the mountain.
It just zaps all your calories,
- your hydration.
- Right.
Hear that?
Oh, yeah.
Sounds like baboon.
I want them to stay away.
Let's get out of this place.
Up the hill.
Through the hill.
The hill.
Won't miss those baboons.
It's a lot more difficult
than yesterday's hike.
My mouth is unbelievably dry.
We're definitely
feeling the dehydration
because the sun
is just scorching
but we're gonna get there.
We came too far to stop now.
I'm definitely feeling the heat.
My mouth is dry.
There's thorns everywhere.
Both of my feet are
covered in little thorns.
Brandon, did you go away,
just left after the fallen tree?
Brandon.
Watch yourself.
Brandon.
Oh, man.
Brandon.
We're coming around the corner
and I see Brandon,
all of a sudden, sitting down.
Something's not okay.
And I'm not sure.
Something's not okay.
I feel like I'm gonna throw up.
I'm gonna throw up.
Like I'm spinning.
I definitely see
symptoms of dehydration,
maybe heat exhaustion.
I just got this gut instinct
that this isn't good.
Now I'm getting
a crushing headache.
I know you're tough.
I know it sucks.
By staying here,
we're actually jeopardizing
in building a secured
boma at the new location.
But right now I think it's...
I think it's the
right thing to do.
Stick as a tribe.
The one thing I just noticed too
is both of my ears are ringing
really, really loud.
I kinda feel what he's feeling
but from what I can see,
it's getting quite concerning.
My headache's getting worse.
I feel like I'm gonna pass out.
As Brandon's
condition grows more severe,
a producer steps in.
What's going on?
I don't feel okay.
I'm still having blurry vision
but my headache
has gotten worse.
It went from the back
of my head to the front.
And now it's started to just
push into my whole head
and I can feel, literally,
my heart beating in my forehead.
Okay.
It is the same
was going on the other day.
It's just now it's worst
and it's not stopping.
Brandon describes vertigo.
His head is spinning.
He's having trouble
keeping his balance.
He's feeling weak.
He's feeling nauseous.
Mmm-hmm.
Yeah.
No.
I've never felt, like,
this close to passing out ever.
Serious cases of vertigo
can make it impossible to
balance or do basic tasks.
It can also be a sign
of acute medical issues.
Intense heat and dehydration
can make symptoms worse.
At this stage,
he needs to rehydrate.
He needs to rest.
And he needs to allow his body
a chance to recover
or that could have potential
long-term consequences.
There's no water out here.
I wanna be here but, ultimately,
my health is more important.
I'm gonna tap,
'cause I genuinely
feel like I need to.
This isn't worth
injuring myself over.
Hey, we'll get you out of here.
Bye.
Saying goodbye to
Brandon is pretty sad
at the same time, I
kinda feel relieved
in a sense because I want
him to take care of himself.
Goodbye, guys. My
spirit will be with you.
This isn't
my first partner to leave
but this situation
is much different.
This is definitely not like
my partner from Colombia.
This is a situation
out of necessity.
Not mad at him at all
and he does not need any haters.
I definitely don't
see this coming,
I thought we were
gonna be a good tribe
and I thought we were
gonna push through it today.
And that's a big blow.
I agree.
If your body tells you to stop,
your body tells you stop
and it's okay to listen to it.
And that's why I'm
comfortable walking away.
I'm a tough guy, but I'm a dad.
I have seven kids and that's
what I need to worry about.
Dehydrated and weak,
Brandon is unable to fight off
the extreme
headaches and vertigo.
His early temp drops his
PSR from a 6.9 to a 5.9.
It's time for us to get moving.
The sun has got
down pretty fast...
- Yeah.
- But we'll get going, yeah.
I definitely believe
things happen for a reason.
I believe I'm supposed
to be walking out
at Day 21 with Jamie.
His partner was Beverly,
my partner was Brandon,
two Bs had to leave,
the two Js are walking out.
Where do you wanna go?
Like up and over?
Yeah. Let's do that.
With only two
hours of sunlight remaining,
Jamie and Jessica
must hike another mile
to reach their new water source.
Ow.
My feet are taking a beating.
These thorns are no joke.
Oh.
That'd go
right through your foot.
It's a very strange and
unfamiliar environment.
It's almost like a desert
covered in thorn bushes.
This is unreal.
Right now, my feet
are absolutely torn up
but we've got a job to do today.
And I'm just... I just
keep on pushing forward.
That is crazy.
Easy does it.
Wow.
There we go.
Nice streams.
Oh.
Be careful.
It's kinda slippery.
It feels nice after walking
through some thorns.
Cools our feet down.
We need to look out for
some sort of cliffs on the left.
It shouldn't be
too far from here.
Right. So, that is
the rock that's on the map.
And that's our water
source down there.
We set-up camp
here like right there.
Looks like thorn bushes.
Yeah.
I feel like it's
already a good circle.
- And build around it, like a horse shoe.
- Hmm-mmm.
As long as you're all
right with that then I'm cool.
Sounds good.
I feel excited
to see the new location.
It's near water, so
we've picked our location
to set up a boma.
All we need to do really
is close off the tree gaps
and between the bushes.
It was quite windy and
the sun's coming down
pretty hard as well.
So, time is the key here.
Let's get a fire on
and I'll get the boma,
so we're getting two
things done at once.
I like it. All right.
Just collecting some
thorns for our boma
just to secure that.
The wind is picking up big time
so I'm going as fast as I can.
I like the
rocks because they seem
to help with the heat.
Definitely, I...
I feel
overwhelmed. A little nervous.
I'm thinking of my other boma,
we had a roof and everything.
Had a nice little fire pit
and here I have to
settle for a lot less
because the time
that we had to make
whatever we have in front of us
and we have to make do with it.
We just need to face it.
I know we're gonna
have a shelter tonight.
I'm gonna need
you to just lie out,
put the fire right the
length of our bodies
and just see what happens.
It's only for tonight.
Right.
Let's do that, yeah.
What a day, man.
Yeah.
Just you and I now.
Oh, man. I pray
that that wind stops and...
Now I'm just
digging my little hole
so I can stay warm.
So that is in
the shelter for tonight,
just dug out, like,
almost like a grave.
So, winds pretty back tonight
and I've got some
firewood hanging in there,
so we're just trying to
stay as hot as possible.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
It's cold.
I'm shivering.
Absolutely driving me crazy.
How are you feeling?
Miserable.
I'm less than miserable.
Too cold to do anything
else than be by this fire.
The last night was brutal
and it made me think of Colombia
when I was medically
tapped for hypothermia.
There was a couple
differences, though.
We made sure we
had that fire going
and I also had
my partner, Jamie.
That's one hell of a way
to get to know somebody
what they're about.
The change and the contrast
and as weather from yesterday
was like a line stretch.
Yeah.
Jessica was
so close to tapping out.
So, I'm just hoping
that she could get
to the end of the challenge
because I know how
much this means to her.
A cold front has swept in
from the Indian ocean
across the African plains
plunging temperatures
36 degrees in a single day.
And harsh 25-mile per hour winds
are making the 48-degree
weather feel more like 40.
Just gotta wake up and
get some wood.
About.
Oh, that wind.
Here we go.
Never quit.
Never give up.
You know we could just
stuff one on each end.
Jamie and
Jessica are building a lean
to inside their boma
using two Y-shaped beams
that will support a
larger crossbeam.
Against this, they'll lean poles
that they'll layer
with olive branches
to form a roof, protecting them
from the freezing rain.
It's cold.
It's really cold.
I don't wanna have
a repeat of Colombia.
I definitely don't
wanna just succumb
to the elements that
I feel like I can beat.
It's getting there
slow and steady.
All right.
Aye.
I can't do Scottish.
Right now, I'm...
It's like a London accent,
- "Right now, I'm just..."
- Right now.
He is actually pretty funny.
He's trying to teach
me to speak Scottish.
But apparently, I
have a London accent.
What's the difference
between London and Scot?
They're totally different.
Oh, bloody hell.
That is hilarious, man.
Improvements
have happened in the boma.
This is the shelter.
So, we're getting there.
- Freezing, man.
- Mmm-hmm.
Cold. Cold.
Oh, man.
I don't know how
much more a person can take.
Yeah. I mean, I'm only human.
That sun needs to come out
and dry up all this rain.
This rain needs to stop...
or I'm not exactly sure
what's gonna happen
for me personally.
We need firewood.
Hopefully, they're gonna
stop before we use all of it.
We're not gonna back out,
just got to keep on going
hopefully, there are
drier days to come.
And just like that.
The rain stops.
Thank God.
It means we have
got a dry spell.
Got to take the
opportunities while it's there.
Everything is soaking wet.
We've nearly depleted
all our firewood
just to try and
keep the fire going.
Oh, my goodness.
I have reeds.
You sure do.
You... Dude.
I'm trying my best.
What are you thinking?
Just weaving it and fluff?
Mmm-hmm.
Good idea.
Ooh, oh, that wind.
Get in here, get warmed.
I have been able to reinforce
the boma for better insulation.
I hope tomorrow's warm so
we can go out and explore.
As soon as I get decent sleep,
plus I want to do
some hunting as well.
Exactly.
Even though it is
about overcast today,
the night is looking good
and Jessica has got a
lot done to the shelter,
this windbreaker
has been put up,
the fire's going good.
Gonna need to
keep drinking though,
and hopefully, we get
a good sleep tonight
and I could do a bit of
adventuring tomorrow.
I'm feeling a little weak.
We definitely need to eat.
We need to stay hydrated as well
but we need to get
at least something.
I've been here before,
I think my mind is
still in, you know,
in this challenge and
I'm gonna keep pushing.
I woke up to
a complete sunshine.
It's very important
to get some warmth.
Burning a lot of calories
just sitting there shivering.
Hunting and trapping back home,
it's not what I do.
But we need to find some
protein just to keep going.
I'll just tend to the fire
and boil some water.
I'm just going up this way.
Good luck.
Thanks.
There's game trails everywhere,
there's animal
droppings everywhere.
It seemed quite fresh as well,
it's very important
to get some meat.
I've already done
two hikes so far,
so my body is feeling it.
Even though I might
feel full of energy,
it can happen at a split second.
I can collapse
and that could lead
to further problems.
The wind's picking up
and it's heading down that way
which is bad.
I'm sending my scent.
I thought I heard a bark,
it could be a warthog.
I'm pretty sure I heard noises.
Wow. Isn't that something?
It's a fresh kill from
the looks of things.
It's a fresh kill
from the looks of things.
Thought I heard something.
I'm just trying to be
silent as possible.
It's a bush buck.
It looks a bit off,
but there could be
good meat on the other side,
stomach looks a bit bloated,
I better watch I
don't touch that.
I'll try and drag it back
to get as much as I can from it.
I'm not sure how
Jessica is gonna feel
about this, of course,
it's scavenged meat.
And I don't know if she'll be
into that kind of thing.
Oh, my God.
I've been out here
for two weeks now
and I'm feeling it,
it's only a tiny bush buck
but it seems pretty heavy
when I'm dragging it.
Wow.
I have food.
Dude, what?
Yup.
Holy.
It feels good to see those wads.
Jamie, you're awesome.
Wow.
I don't know if you'll like it.
- Why? Was it dead?
- Yup.
Okay. So obviously,
it was a kill from an animal.
That's a concern.
The meat could
be spoiled inside.
It's bloated but it'll be fine,
that's good meat along the back.
The hide I can turn that
using it to make shoes.
Okay.
We need food.
- Okay, I'll dress it just now.
- Sounds good.
So, we'll just fry up
what we can tonight.
We're gonna avoid certain areas
because we can't
be picky out here.
You just got to
be smart about it.
It's a wonderful feeling to know
we're gonna have
some food tonight.
There's a lot of
processing need to be done
and the sun is just
about to go down.
So, I need to be really fast.
I'm using here an arrow head.
One little slip of that
and it could puncture the
stomach called the gut sac
and that'll just ruin
the meat entirely.
I need to really
watch what I'm doing.
Hey, you're doing awesome.
I'm gonna start
collecting more firewood.
All right. No problem.
Get some shoes out of that.
It's better, I felt it stick.
To avoid food poisoning,
Jamie harvests only the
meat that looks red and healthy
about 16 oz along
the bush buck's back
and discards the rest.
We should keep away
any of those from the boma.
Tonight is all
about keeping our boma safe.
Predators will be out.
They will smell
the meat in the air
and they will come to our boma
so we'll make sure we've
got plenty of firewood
to keep the fire blazing.
We're gonna make
sure we stack high
with our acacia thorns.
We'll do what we got to do.
This is our boma.
I want this to hurry up so I can
get crackin' on this
bloody hide, man.
Yeah. We'll
tag team this hide. I...
Are you sure?
Can boil the water,
I'll come find you, help you.
That sounds good.
Oh, my goodness, it's
melting away, and it...
- I need to use a brain.
- Okay.
Right now, I'm going to start
processing the hide
to hopefully make some shoes
in a couple of days' time.
Smell of that is just horrible.
I'm using my stone and I
rub the hide as much as I can
to try and get any
tissue out any muscle off,
so it is a nice sheet of skin.
When I'm ready to turn the hide,
I take the brains out
and rub it into the hide
and hopefully leave
it to dry in the sun.
The brain just keeps it
nice, firm, but flexible.
Just dig in and start rubbing.
- Yeah.
- All right.
This whole process
is absolutely disgusting.
I wanna make bad ass shoes
with this, some moccasins.
- That's so cool.
- Yeah.
We're definitely making sure
that we're comfortable
and that's gonna help us
with our perseverance.
I mean, being
comfortable is a huge thing.
I never did this in Colombia,
that's for damn sure.
We're working as a good team.
That looks good.
Now, it's time for
the drying process.
You can never guarantee
how long that will take.
Great job.
Cool. Cool.
Are you ready?
I'm
ready. Let's do this.
It looks dry.
It's a little easier to cut.
I'm so indecisive.
Like I'm really shopping
for shoes or something.
So I'm just making holes,
this is gonna fold
over and latch together.
This has got to be
as tight as possible.
Oh, that sun.
Sometimes it's unbearable.
I have low energy, like,
it's hot today.
Just folding it
over, pointed toe.
How do they feel?
Feel good.
We got shoes.
Yeah.
The sun hit me hard
and started to realize I
was feeling really sick,
really lightheaded.
I've been drinking enough water
for a couple hours now.
Slowly feeling better but
not a hundred percent.
Oh, man.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
You sure you're okay?
Mmm-hmm.
You don't seem okay.
I thought I was drinking enough.
My body is starting
to wind down.
But it's a little
worrisome to think
"Okay. Am I gonna
have the energy
for the extraction hike?"
I don't think I'm gonna
be very productive today.
I'm sorry.
Don't need sorry to me.
I might need
you to boil mine for me.
That's fine.
We're both drained
especially Jessica.
I'm just trying to
look out for her.
I can definitely feel
the strain myself as well.
I am pretty hungry.
My body's feeling it.
It's been a good few days
since we've eaten a bush buck,
I just need to find
some food right now
especially coming
up to extraction.
Wow. A massive crab.
Wow, look at that.
Ow, this guy is strong.
Ow ow.
Ow.
Ow.
I'm gonna go to the water store.
That was good.
- That was American.
- I'm from Texas
and I'm just chopping
this tree up right now
just to pass over to
my partner, Jessica,
so she can weave
it into the roof
and the shelter.
- That's no good, is it?
- Yee-haw.
- I'm going to get a coffee.
- Mmm-hmm.
I live in New
Jersey, California.
Like, "Oh my God."
Like this tree is, like,
being totally destroyed.
Ow.
- Jamie, are you good?
- Ow.
I got a big massive crab
but it's bitten the out me, man.
Ow, ow.
-Ow. -Did you get it?
I've got it. It's
huge, man.
Wow. Oh, my God.
I'm so proud of you.
Look at this,
so aggressive this guy.
Bust my nail open.
He was putting up a fight.
But that's good. I'm
glad I've got a big crab.
Let's go back to
the boma and feast.
Oh, he's moving right now.
I'm so sorry Mr. Crabs
but I'm hungry.
I'm thankful for
my partner Jamie.
It's gonna be extremely
beneficial for us
to have that food.
Get ready to feast on
some delicious crab.
Bon appetite.
I never had a
big crab like this.
They are so amazing.
The first bite just
taste like chicken.
Wow. This is incredible.
All right. Delicious.
It's really good.
Tastes like energy.
I can feel nutrients
go into my body
that's in desperate need of 'em.
Once I tried some of the crab
my energy and my thought process
just excelled beyond belief.
So...
Just ready for tomorrow.
Got a rough night.
So cold.
It's extraction day
and it is pouring down,
just raining constant all night,
so everything is soaked.
This place is haunted, man,
they just don't
want you to be here,
you get here.
- Just ready to go.
- Let's go.
Mother Nature is
definitely giving us
a chilling farewell,
all right we need
to get moving fast.
We'll get the map before we go.
That's here.
And we're gonna
be walking along...
To the caves there,
some stones actually
- we're looking for.
- It's gonna be a difficult
walking through this
area 'cause of the mud.
And get to that road there
and it leads straight
to the extraction.
- Good to go?
- Yeah.
Let's do this, man.
Let's go. Yeah.
Let's get out of here.
Jamie and
Jessica must hike for miles
through muddy terrain,
and acacia forests
that conceal boomslang
or tree snakes,
whose hemotoxic bite
can cause victims to bleed
from their eyes.
And 300 lb warthogs
whose tusks can
grow up to 10 in long.
The final stretch
is a half mile hike
up a steep mountainside
where they'll meet
their extraction vehicle
on a remote game trail.
There's lots of rain
and it's just
constantly on my mind
what's gonna happen
through this trek,
I'm apprehensive but
we need to get it done.
Watch here.
It's cold. It's wet.
I'm not gonna miss
this weather at all.
I'm a little nervous.
The rain could pick up,
could come down harder,
it could come down
colder, I guess.
Hold on.
This is a joke on my feet.
I kicked my shoes off,
they weren't working.
Oh, man.
Damn it's steep.
Hey.
Are you all right? Are you okay?
Why me? Why?
- Oh, my God.
- You good?
The rain is
washing the game trails away
and it's extremely slide up,
it's definitely dangerous.
That's what I'm saying.
Could get hypothermia on Day 21.
Feel like I did in Colombia.
Cold.
The way of the hypothermia.
I have to take you
out of this challenge.
One foot in front of the other.
Very dense vegetation.
Oh. -
- Wow.
- I was like...
That was so close, man,
holy.
If that warthog caught one of us
that would've just
sliced our leg to pieces.
That is dangerous, man.
That thing looks mad.
Oh, it's so cold, man.
As I breathe up
that puts that chill
right through my body.
I just... I just need
to get out of here.
Quick, keep moving fast.
I've came so far, I'm
never gonna give up,
ask them all, never give up.
I'm so cold.
What's pushing me through
is to finally get on that truck
and turn around
and saying I finished.
I did 21 days.
Oh, I'm just gonna power on.
Is this ever going to end?
You could feel it
heating up a bit.
It feels good.
What a climb.
This is using every
last bit of energy
just getting up here.
Hanging in there?
My feet are taking a
beating, the stones.
Yup.
- All right.
- I'm gonna just try
and keep my eyes
open for the road here.
I hope that this is it.
I'm sure we are close.
Oh, look, look, look.
- See it?
- There's our vehicle.
We're here.
Looks like we've made it.
- Oh, there's our vehicle.
- Hey, come on! Yes!
Day 21.
It's time to go home
now. Come on!
Oh, my God.
- Yes!
- Finished!
The wild Scottish man
came to Africa, succeeded,
beaten the weather,
beaten all the elements,
I cannot put this into words.
This is the best feeling,
the hardest but most rewarding
and the most
enjoyable experience
- in my whole life.
- Oh, yeah.
Finishing Day
21 it's this relief
that I've got now.
It's a whole new
sensation of pride,
self-respect, and understanding
of my abilities and
my achievements.
And if I could do that,
there's a lot more I can do.
We've done it.
Yes!
Me and Jamie have a partnership.
And it's a unique bond.
We learned a lot
from each other.
Even though he's in
Scotland, and I'm in America,
it goes to show
we're all people.
And survival does
not mean anything
based on where
you're coming from.
Survival, it's about
being human.
Over the course of 21 days,
Jamie lost a total of 24 lbs.
His PSR rises from 7.1 to 8.1.
This is what it's all about.
I'm finished!
Yes!
Jessica lost a total of 32 lbs
completing the full 21 days.
Increases her
PSR from 7.3 to 8.0.
Never give up.
Come on! Yes!
Starting off those two
international survivalists
and two Americans survivalist.
But at the end of the day,
me and Jessica
made it to the end
and that shows that
humans come together
in any circumstance
to overcome any situation.
And that's exactly
what we've done.
We did it, partner.
Yes.
I've done it!
- Yeah!
- Yes!
your ears open,
keep a look out
in the trees right now.
There's nothing easy about this.
We got hail.
Phew! My heart's racing.
If you don't fight,
you won't make it.
Why is it so hard?
We're ready for war.
This landscape looks
like it doesn't want me here.
But I'm an American.
Americans don't quit.
This is a lot different from
Indiana, I can tell you that.
But I'm going all the way,
Day 21.
So this environment is
completely different than Canada.
I'm very excited to be here.
I'm representing my country.
Let's do this.
I'm gonna be showing the
world how the Scots do. But...
In this two-hour event,
two teams from different
sides of the world
attempt to survive one
of the most inhospitable
and shifting terrains on Earth,
South Africa's Pondoland.
Here, deadly predators
hide in plain sight,
and 25-mile per-hour
winds can make
for frigid conditions,
day and night.
One team represents the USA.
- Yeah.
- Too easy.
The second team is a pair
of international survivalist.
Still stronger than ever. God!
Both teams will have to survive
in two separate camps
for the first 10 days.
If they make it to Day
11, they will merge
to become a single
tribe of United Nations.
Who will survive?
Mother Nature
is a bitch sometimes.
And who will succumb?
And which team will make
their home country proud?
Bring it on.
Wearing the famous tartan kilt.
I'm gonna put
Scotland on the map,
make sure it's
known for its survival.
So you want to try
and take the moss off.
This should roll
up like a carpet.
I've always been doing
survival and bush craft
about a year ago, started
my YouTube channel.
Hi, everyone.
Welcome back to another
episode of Wild Man.
That is a big beetle.
Teaching people
about the outdoors
and how to handle themselves
when they're out there.
I feel alive when
I'm the Wild Man.
Woo-hoo.
Water purification, finding
suitable water sources
is probably the best
skills that I have.
Oh. Nice and fresh.
Scottish people, I would
say, are pretty tough.
We're mentally strong,
the hard workers.
Tapping out doesn't
exist in my world.
Jamie has
experience in primitive survival,
but strict game laws in
Scotland mean he has
limited experience
trapping and hunting.
Jamie starts the challenge
with a Primitive Survival
Rating or PSR of 7.1.
I am extremely
excited to go hunting kudu, impala,
just a little bit of
everything out here.
Oh. First shot of the day.
Couldn't get any
better than that.
I am a hunting guide.
I was... Wasn't
born in the woods,
but I say I got there
as quickly as I could.
And being from Canada,
we are known for our hunting,
trapping, fishing. So
my experience, um,
hunting and working
with black bears
is definitely gonna
help me here in Africa.
So I'm eager to get out
there, meet my partner,
and knock this
thing out of the park.
Beverly has
a lifetime of experience
hunting creatures
three times her size.
She begins with a PSR of 6.8
It's about to get weird.
The sun's gonna see things
that have never
seen the sun before.
So it's my last night at work.
All right. You
guys gonna miss me?
- Suck it up, buttercup.
- Suck it up, buttercup.
They're gonna miss me.
I grew up in New York
State and running barefoot
in the woods and shooting
slingshots at squirrel.
I have seven children.
A day in my house
is like a circus.
What do you guys think
I'm gonna see an Africa?
- Hippo.
- A hippo, black bird.
Black mamba.
The skills that I have now,
I learned in the military.
Part of my drive to do
this is the American spirit,
just a drive to want to
be the best that I can be.
And I don't like
to accept defeat.
I would never tap out.
No one's tapping.
Brandon has
battled-tested experience in survival.
He sets out with a PSR of 6.9.
There's a whole lot
of animals out here
that we don't have in Indiana.
It's only on
my wall, thankfully.
If it was this close out there,
then it's too damn late.
I joined the National
Guard when I was 33.
With my military training,
I'm coming into this
with skills for survival.
Shelter-making, fire.
I've done this before.
I was in a 21-day
challenge in Colombia,
but I only made it
to Day 20 last time.
I said 21.
And that's what
I'm doing this time.
I'm here to serve
my country right
by proving that I can do this.
Jessica has shown
resilience both in the army
and in the wild.
She begins with a PSR she earned
at the end of her
last challenge, 7.3.
Ooh, boy, this is happening.
So everybody asks,
are you a real Scotsman?
And what they mean by that is are
you wearing any underwear in your kilt?
The answer is no.
Time to go. Let's get this done.
I don't really care
about being naked.
I'm gonna rock out with my out.
The ground is soft,
which I hope it stays soft.
- Hello, partner.
- Another naked person.
- Hi, I'm Jessica.
- Jessica. Brandon.
- Nice to meet you.
- Brandon, nice to meet you.
- All right.
- Nice tattoo.
- What's that all about?
- Oh, thank you.
That is representing
Native American heritage.
And also I served in military.
- So did I.
- Yeah?
I have quite kind
of the similar thing
- going on in the back.
- Oh, nice.
Both military
and law enforcement for me.
- Okay.
- So how do you feel about being naked?
Uh, I've done this before, so.
- You've done it before?
- Yeah.
- How?
- I was, uh, in Columbia.
Everything's wet.
Cold.
It was actually, um, a
situation where I had a partner
and he tapped out in
the second morning.
Really?
Okay.
I couldn't leave
somebody like that.
So I went as long
as I possibly could.
- By yourself?
- By myself.
Made it to Day 20, and
hypothermia kicked in
- and kicked
- Oh.
So damn hard.
This is the coldest
I've been so far.
I don't wanna quit.
- That sucks.
- Yeah.
- I have some unfinished business.
- Right.
When I say I'm gonna
do something, I'm going to.
The medical tap out,
it was heartbreaking.
Um, and hypothermia, I
don't wanna do that again.
Damn sure I'm making
it to Day 21 here.
We're gonna
make it through this one.
- Hell yeah we are.
- Together.
Yeah. Knuckle bump.
I'm looking forward to seeing,
um, how this
partnership will go.
Um, it's still kind of early.
He hasn't done one and I have,
but I'm gonna be optimistic.
Let's not let Mother
Nature kick our asses here.
- Yeah. She's gonna try though.
- She's gonna try.
Yeah.
I think that's my partner there.
Wait. My partner's walking
towards me and thought,
wow, she's very attractive.
I kept having to tell myself
this is a challenge, Jamie,
this is a challenge,
a survival challenge.
So I'm starting to see
my partner in the distance.
Uh, he's definitely a
little bit easy on the eyes.
- Hello.
- Hi.
- I'm Beverly.
- Beverly, my name is Jamie.
- Nice to meet you.
- Yeah. Where are you from?
- I'm from Canada.
- Canada.
- Yes.
- Can you guess where I'm from?
- Somewhere with an accent?
- Scotland.
Scotland. Okay.
That was gonna be my next guess.
- Uh, yeah.
- Yeah.
So naked in Africa.
Well, yeah, exactly.
I mean if you wanna have
a good look, this is me.
- There you go.
- There we go.
So now we got that
awkwardness out of the way.
- Yup.
- Uh, why don't we check out our stuff?
- Yup. Yeah. Let's see.
- All right.
Each team has brought a weapon
for a hunting game.
I have my arrows here and
with my, um, recurve bows.
- I brought a slingshot.
- Okay.
Small game out here is abundant.
As well as a blade.
They've also been
given a pot for hydration,
and a fire starter
as fire is essential
to protect against
deadly predators.
- This is what I got.
- You got the map?
- Let's check this out.
- Quick gander.
Oh, I think we're right here.
We need to establish
a camp near water.
Mmm-hmm. We got rhino.
And hippo.
Make sure we're keeping
- a good distance from them.
- Yeah,
let's take advantage of this
weather. It's not too hot right now.
- Absolutely. Let's get going.
- And I guess head that way.
For the first
10 days of the challenge,
Jessica and Brandon
will attempt to survive
along the Kowie River,
an area with
aggressive black rhino,
who establish territory by
challenging another bull for space.
Black rhino will fight
themselves to the death
and have the highest recorded
rate of mortal combat of any mammal.
Let's hit the road and see
what we can come up with.
All right. Let's do this.
Jamie and
Beverly will try to survive
in an equally
threatening environment.
In a valley where leopards
target their prey from trees,
and share canopies
with territorial baboons
who will retaliate
when threatened
and are known even
to attack leopards.
A bit chilly, isn't it?
It is a wee bit chilly, yeah.
Both teams
will need to be prepared
for weather swings.
The summer months
are the windiest time
of year in Pondoland.
Here, elevated terrain
along the coastal belt
channels southeasterly
winds that can bring
powerful storms, and
make it feel 10 degrees
colder than the air temperature.
Both having
military backgrounds,
I think that gives us a good...
- Right.
- I think...
opportunity to
handle this together well.
Hopefully.
That's a black rhino marking.
We can tell
because rhinos dump their dung
into the ground to
mark their territory.
- Yeah.
- It's nerve-racking
because we don't
know where they're at.
They could be, you
know, 20 feet in front of us
behind a bush that
we don't even see them
until it's too late, and
they're charging us.
Oh, wow.
Look at that view.
- Oh, wow.
- Oh, man. I feel like...
So we must have
started the way over there.
- There's progress.
- There is.
But we're staying on track.
- Oh, look at this.
- Oh, wow.
Wow. Look at this.
Something got ate and
scattered all through here.
I know.
- It's a great ambush point.
- It is. Oh, absolutely.
It is.
Oh, there's our water source.
- Oh, yes.
- Oh, my gosh.
That is so exciting. I
was getting so thirsty.
- Woo.
- It's very murky.
- I would say we're gonna have to boil it.
- Oh.
- A lot longer than what we have to.
- Yeah, without a doubt.
We are definitely gonna need
to build a boma,
that's for sure.
- Let's see what we can find.
- Okay.
That tree over there, do you
think that's good to build around?
That one's already got all
the thorns and everything on it.
Our water source is right there.
- Yeah.
- Uh, we don't have to go too far.
- Yeah, let's get to it.
- Let's get started. All right.
Let's get started.
What we're building right now
is what you called a boma.
Just a surrounding wall of
your camp of thorn bushes.
And what it does is it
deters any predators
from entering your camp.
Down in here is the riverbank.
It actually smells like
You know what that means.
Yeah, animals.
This bank is steep.
If we're gonna be
close to the water,
that's the best spot.
If there are hippos
in this water,
they can't climb
up a steep bank.
So I like this spot in here.
We can set up a
boma for the night.
- Yeah. All right.
- All right?
- Good deal.
- Let's get to work.
Ouch.
Okay.
We're getting there.
What do you say we get
some water going as well?
- Yeah. Let's do that.
- Okay.
We are losing water fast.
I'm starting to
feel a little bit tired.
Jamie is gonna
continue working on boma
and so I'm actually
just getting ready
to, um, build a fire.
Yes. Keep going, keep going.
Jamie, fire.
We have fire.
It's just very exciting
knowing that we got fire.
We can get some water boiling,
we can finish our boma,
um, especially I don't know
how long it's gonna be, maybe
a couple of hours before nightfall.
Um, it's gonna be a lot of
predators are coming around
especially to, um,
the water source.
Get this boiling.
All right.
Hear that thunder?
- Yeah, I heard that.
- Yeah.
We're gonna be all right.
- I know.
- We're not gonna panic,
- we're gonna be fine.
- I know.
I don't like the clouds
when I see them coming.
Brings back memories of
cold, wet, and hypothermia.
I don't wanna have
that happen here.
If we don't have
fire, we won't make it.
How are you doing there?
Got better days.
This fire is not working.
- Okay. I can't right now.
- Help me out and don't panic.
- I'm doing the...
- I'm not panicking,
I'm just getting frustrated.
- I'm really...
- Worried about rain?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- Like we got it all.
- If we don't get fire,
we're gonna be
suffering tonight.
You got it.
Yes. Man.
I smell fire, good job.
You keep doing that,
I'll keep doing this.
We have to keep pushing
to get this done before dark.
We're running on daylight.
Is that rain?
- It is rain.
- Great.
Yeah. You're good chopping that.
Just trying to stay focused,
clear the vein out of my
head and just keep on going.
Even though it's raining,
it's still quite warm
and we're perspiring
quite heavily.
This water
should be cool down enough
- if you wanna have a drink.
- That looks so clean.
- It does.
- All right.
Oh, that tastes
awful, but we need it.
Hopefully I can just get
used to drinking this water,
but, oh, my God.
It's not really setting
well with my stomach.
Oh, I might be sick.
Oh, not gonna
have any more of that tonight
as much as I need water.
Hopefully no more throwing
up because that was not fun.
The rain's kind of scary.
Did your guys'
fire go out in Colombia?
- Holy
- Yeah.
So this is your luck?
This is horrible.
First night in the
boma together.
- Yeah.
- And we're naked.
It was very cold last night.
Yeah.
I am not feeling good at all.
Once again I threw
up this morning.
I definitely can't
drink that water.
So we're gonna have
to figure out a way
where we can filter
the water and purify it
a little bit more so
hopefully I can keep it down.
How are you feeling?
Not good at all.
I'm just struggling
to even walk.
I'm just trying to get
materials so I can make a filter,
but I cannot even
do that right now.
If you want you can
just sit in there by the fire.
Yeah.
Okay.
I'm worried
about rain without shelter.
We're gonna utilize bark-like
shingles to create a roof.
It's like a lean-to.
Let's knock this out.
Day one was pretty awful.
Definitely a reality check
like we're in South Africa
and South Africa decided
to on us night one.
So we're gonna building
a lean-to structure
inside our boma which
will kind of help retain
our body heat and the heat
coming off the fire at night
and the roof does provide
protection from the rain.
- What do you think?
- It's looking good.
- Yeah?
- And gonna get better, yeah.
- You gonna get more bark?
- Yeah.
Yeah. Raining and cold
did bring back memories,
but it also kind
of instilled the fact
that I've done it once,
I've pushed through
I can push through again,
at least I still have my partner.
Brandon gets it, he's
thinking of solutions
instead of letting panic set in.
- You got this?
- Nope.
Too easy.
Too easy.
Too easy is a military term,
kind of like reverse psychology
just yell out and
like "Too easy"
and it kind of motivates
you to get moving.
It's gonna slow down the beat
of the raindrops, you know?
Mmm-hmm. Yeah.
Every little bit helps.
Too easy.
Oh, God.
I'll be back.
Mmm-hmm.
To prepare for this journey,
I start to train
myself to drink a lot
of manky river water.
She's just too sick,
she can't even stand up.
Just reacts different
from person to person,
happens all the team,
so we need to come up
with a better
water source for us.
So my next move is a gypsy well.
The main function
of a gypsy well
is it creates a hole
next to a water source.
The water seeps
through over the sand
and the grit to the site
and enters into the hole
and hopefully,
it filters the water
and it get rids of any
big bits of bacteria,
any parasites, things like that.
I can hear Beverly being sick,
so this is very important
that we get this.
I already feel like
I'm a letdown to my partner
because I should be
helping getting firewood,
I should be enhancing our boma,
but I feel like I can't
do anything right now.
The gypsy well
maintains that you can drink
straight from it, but
I'm gonna make sure
that's boiled for at
least 10 minutes.
I'm gonna chuck this to the fire
and see if you like it.
Better than the other.
Yeah?
But it's still not good.
- All right.
- Ugh, my God.
Dehydration can cause nausea
which can lead to vomiting
making symptoms worse.
I don't know what I'm gonna do.
I can't go 21 days
without water.
I'm trying to
get a lot more firewood.
Remember what
happened last night?
I mean I
feel like we're definitely
ahead of the game
from last night.
Look at our wood production.
We're ready for war.
Yeah.
Is that too far
from around here?
The rhino came in and
was right over in here,
which our boma is right here.
- Right.
- We sleep right there.
See how close it was.
It's a big
animal that'd be coming
into where we sleep.
Good thing we have a boma.
Mmm-hmm.
Scary to think of how
close the black rhino was
because for people
to be that close to one,
they usually don't survive.
How are you feeling, Beverly?
Um, not good at all.
I have no water,
I have no energy,
I have nothing in
my body right now.
I'm shaking because
I'm a little bit cold,
but that's because I'm so weak.
I'm trying to run on empty
and it's proving
to be quite difficult.
Ugh.
This is the lowest I
have ever been in my life.
Uh, with all due
respect to Beverly,
for the past three
days of being constantly
doing all the work,
but it's that just
we've got to do.
If you're in survivor
situation with a partner.
I don't want
Beverly tapping out,
jeopardizes my challenge,
so just weaving a little basket.
That's honestly the last resort.
I can't afford to
lose my partner.
I want us both
to succeed in this.
Too far.
Last night, we
heard a black rhino
and it's just a reminder
not to get complacent out here.
But I generally feel
like I'm slowing down
at this point and I
know I have to eat
so I'm motivated to get
out and find something
for both of us to eat today.
There's a baboon
sitting right up here
looking down at me.
There's a couple of ducks.
So I went around
to take the shot,
they just scattered.
The ducks are hard to get.
Their eyesight is really good,
so I'm gonna have
to be a lot sneakier
if I'm gonna catch them.
There's crabs all over in here.
There's one there,
and there's one out there, too.
Come here.
This is definitely edible.
You're gonna be dinner.
Yay, dinner.
There's more in here.
I saw two of them,
so I'm not done.
There's one.
Success.
Lunch, breakfast,
whatever you wanna call it.
We're gonna eat these for sure.
It's not a lot of proteins,
but it's better than nothing.
I think the baboons
are getting curious.
They're a bit loud.
All right. I'm gonna
start heading back.
There's definitely
a group of baboons.
Their calls are
getting a little closer.
I know they can be dangerous.
I mean they could move
down this cliff-face really fast
if they wanted to.
Baboons usually send,
uh, one or two scouts
to see what's actually going on
before they move
in their whole troop.
I don't need to be
attacked by baboons.
- Hey, partner.
- Yeah.
Oh, we're gonna eat good.
- Yeah. We got dinner, baby.
- Hell, yeah.
Woo.
- There we go, too easy.
- Too easy.
I don't know if it's just
happiness or smoke in my eyes,
I'm getting teary-eyed.
We have
food. We have two crabs.
We don't have to fight over one.
I'm just looking
forward to eating.
I'm hungry.
Cheers.
Tastes great, even
without the butter.
It actually
tastes pretty decent, too.
I just saw a group of baboons.
I could hear them.
We're really gonna need
to make sure we keep our
fire going to keep them out.
Yeah.
Really hope this works to finish
the structure of
the water filter.
So first, I'm just gonna put
some stones in the bottom
to stop any grass and
sand mixing in with the water.
We'll get a layer of grass
to put on top of that now.
I'm gonna put a
slight layer of charcoal.
It really just
purifies the water.
The moment of truth.
Here we go.
It's crucial to survival.
Okay. I would say
that's about done.
It's boiling pretty well.
I really, really
hope this works.
Thank you.
I'll hold it.
Is that a better water?
Um, no, it's okay...
- Is that all right?
- I'm just gonna
- take a few sips for now.
- Yeah.
- Just little sips.
- Thank you.
It tastes better
than what I've
been drinking before.
It's not as bad so hopefully,
I can keep this down.
I hope so.
I just can't stop shaking.
This is day three.
In normal conditions,
you can go three
days without water
but in these conditions,
one day, two days,
she's lucky she's
made it this far.
That's it.
Jamie to medic, Jamie to medic.
Jamie to medic, Jamie to medic.
I'm not good at all.
Okay.
- So, zero water.
- Okay.
- Very, very weak.
- Very weak?
- Yeah. I can barely move.
- Okay.
Your heart rate is up.
So it's... This is
quite concerning
from a medical point of view.
It's, uh, extremely
important, uh, to rehydrate.
Uh, severe dehydration
could lead to organ shutdown.
Beverly's been vomiting
and nothing is staying in
even though she's
tried to drink the water.
This is quite concerning.
It's my medical opinion
that she should be removed
from the challenge.
That's horrible.
I didn't wanna go out like this.
Just whenever you're
ready, take your time.
- So sorry.
- No, don't worry.
You're a freaking
rock star. You got this.
- You got this.
- Don't worry about it at all.
I'm gonna leave my bow
and arrows with you, so...
I really appreciate
that. Thanks very much.
You're gonna do great.
Right now, I'm wishing
that I wasn't tapped
for such a stupid reason
like not being able
to drink the water.
Guys, there's different
stuff in this water
that my body just can't handle.
I am very disappointed.
I came in here to do
21, only to do three days.
I am very sorry to
leave my partner.
I let him down so much.
He is a warrior, he's a fighter,
and he's got this challenge
to Day 21 a hundred percent.
Beverly exits the challenge
more than 10 lbs lighter
than when she arrived.
Her PSR drops from 6.8 to 5.2.
I'm ready. Bring it on.
On my first day alone,
time to go hunting.
Back home, hunting
is really hard to do,
bow hunting especially,
that's completely illegal.
I can some tracks.
It could be a very small impala.
Too far away.
We've had minimal protein.
We've had a couple crabs.
I noticed the weakness
starting to set in.
So I would like to do some
more duck hunting today.
So my partner
went to go look for some food.
Go, Brandon, go.
And it's my time to do my part.
So I'm going to
look for scorpions.
You can stop right
there. Sorry, dude.
South Africa
is home to three species
of highly dangerous
thick tail scorpions
whose sting can be deadly,
but they also provide
significant nutrition
and contain over 50% protein.
Oh, there's another.
I missed another duck.
I went out to go flip some rocks
and found two scorpions.
Nice.
I'm pretty hungry.
Yeah.
Crispy, and toasty, and burnt,
just how I like it.
Like my marshmallows.
Good job on this, by the way.
I could eat, like,
20 more literally.
- Yeah.
- That's cool.
This is probably where
we'll see some hyrax.
Those hyrax are
descendants of elephants.
It's strange to think that.
They're so small.
It's a hyrax and
it's watching me.
I got so, so close.
It's a disappointment.
Well, I can
feel the breeze coming in.
Oh.
- You all right?
- I'm good.
- This morning...
- Yeah.
I woke
up with vertigo.
- Oh.
- Which was discerning to me.
I think it's the lack of sleep
because it's a mind thing.
Stress, ear infections,
and other factors
can cause vertigo,
the sensation that the
environment is spinning.
Last night was horrible.
Gather more greenery
for the top of the roof
to help plug in any
extra holes or gaps.
- Hopefully, this will help them.
- Yeah.
I haven't had luck duck hunting,
so we're running low
on energy sources.
We need to focus
on what's important,
and that's making it
through the night right now
when we have no calories
to burn to stay warm.
Been drawing my wee
pal, Sir Benjamin Littlefoot.
My little dog is 13.
I didn't think I'd be
craving company
as much as I am right now.
But when you have nothing,
when you have no food,
you have pond water to drink.
Me wee stone of Bennie
and you've only got that
to look forward to,
you get a bit lonely.
I'm actually starting to
crave some human company,
just someone I can talk to.
Yeah, okay.
It doesn't stop.
- It's okay.
- This one's lasting longer than the last ones.
Brandon, he's been
having his bouts of vertigo,
which was nerve-racking.
I hope he can hang in there.
It's kind of scary,
for me being alone
and for my partner
and his health.
Almost makes me wanna puke.
This isn't good.
It's raining. My fire.
My fire was just
smoldering away.
It's still going.
It's freezing.
This is where I ask myself
why the hell am I doing this?
Back, still stronger
than ever. God!
Horrible,
dreadful, freezing cold.
Last night, we got
some heavy rainstorms.
And unfortunately,
wee Bennie's face
kinda got washed out.
I just feel as though
I spent my time here
getting really, really,
really lonely, hungry.
Today, the plan is
to hike on out of here,
try and find a new
location for a couple of days
to see me until merge.
And I'm hoping there's gonna
be some big game as well,
more than this area.
Do a bit of hunting.
I really don't know
what I'm getting into,
but I'm willing
to put in the effort
just to get out here and
experience something new.
And then on merge
day, on Day 11,
it's just a nice wee
stroll down the river.
Got my grass kilt for now.
I'm really doing Scotland proud.
Doing this hike today,
I would've needed
to do a similar hike on Day 11.
And, of course, if
I waited till Day 11,
I'd have probably
expelled more energy.
But I've got a long way to go.
Jamie is choosing to
leave his survival area two days early,
deviating from the direct route
that leads to the merge point.
He follows the river.
- Freaked out.
- Oh, yeah.
What your body's going through,
what it's been through.
Lack of sleep, the heat,
the cold, lack of food.
Oh, yeah.
I should go
out there and go find
a bunch of scorpions
for you or something.
My partner in Colombia
left on his own terms
because he was
hungry and it was raining.
He just wasn't in
the right mindset.
This time, with my
partner, Brandon,
is in the right mindset,
but unfortunately,
we're just kind of
running low on resources.
My goal is for both of
us to make it to Day 21.
Got me a lizard.
Yo, yo.
So I got you a lizard.
This looks
just like a leopard gecko.
Mmm-hmm.
That's my battle buddy.
We watch over our battle
buddies and I'm nervous.
So he's been having vertigo.
It's been four days since
we had anything to eat.
Scorpions and a small
lizard aren't enough.
What we could do...
I think it's a good call.
We wanna move
out of here as soon as possible
and have more of an
opportunity to thrive
versus totally just being
resilient and surviving.
A little bit. Let's
look around and see
if we can find a
couple crabs and...
Hopefully we get some
food before our trip.
It's just gonna take
every bit of that energy
- and we're gonna be like...
- We're gonna need it.
Even though the sun's
not as hot just now,
it still burns,
and I can't feel my
skin burning at all,
so that's a good sign
that the clay's working.
But at the same time, it's very,
very draining physically.
Ow.
This is hard terrain
that I'm walking on,
basically just
walking on thorns.
Wow.
I see water.
So I'm just heading
towards the river
down at the bottom
of this mountain.
See anything, partner?
Mother Nature is
a bitch sometimes.
Let's head back to the
boma. It's the best thing
we can do right now,
conserve energy.
It could always be worse.
Heading towards
these white cliffs here,
maybe some sort of
overhang or cave system
where we can call shelter
if there's water there.
I need a drink.
Fast.
Holy.
- This is a surprise.
- Yeah.
Another naked person.
I need a drink.
Fast.
Holy.
Another naked person. What's up?
- Wow.
- Hey.
- How we doing?
- Yeah, I'm good. You?
- Good.
- Yeah.
- This is a surprise.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, it is.
- These things.
Bam. There's
another naked person.
We didn't expect to see
another naked person
for a few days.
- Brandon.
- Brandon, I'm Jamie.
- Jamie, nice to meet you.
- Okay.
- Jessica. Hi.
- Jessica, I'm Jamie.
- You got a nice bow.
- Yeah.
Thank you very much. This is
made by my partner, Beverly.
My partner left in day three,
six days I've been alone.
- Damn.
- Six days?
- So it's been lonely.
- Wow.
Poor guy though, he looks
like he's been through the ringer.
That was some hike.
- Yeah.
- Right.
No water.
- Well, come drink our water.
- Yeah.
Oh, that'd be really
cool if that's all right.
- Right.
- Let's go for that.
All right. The more the merrier.
So Jamie, where are you from?
I'm from Scotland.
Scotland?
That's awesome.
- We're from the US.
- Cool.
My partner, Beverly,
she was from Toronto, in Canada.
- Toronto?
- Oh, wow.
Well, I'm sorry your
partner left you, man.
I know how that goes.
You've been on a
challenge before?
Yes.
- Oh, wow.
- Yeah.
My partner left on day two.
- Day two?
- In Colombia.
I made it to Day 20 and
then hypothermia got me.
Oh, my God.
Jessica seems like a
really strong person.
To hear that she's out here,
doing this challenge again,
hearing all that was amazing.
Good. It's
good to have you, man.
Thanks very much.
I appreciate that.
Oh, my.
It's nice to just... My
mouth is so, so dry.
That hike was, I
wanna say unreal.
So you're on the
move to get closer to merge?
- Yeah, yeah.
- Okay.
One of the main
reasons why I had to leave
was I've been there
for six days alone,
freezing, with no food.
It just feels as though
I had to get away.
And, so today, I've just
walked all the way along here,
up a massive mountain,
and then back down.
Have you seen
any impala on the way?
No. None at all.
Any bushbuck?
No.
So we do need to move, then.
We're looking to also move.
It's been kind of a
struggle bus for us,
not getting food,
not getting energy.
I may have pushed
myself a little too far,
because the past couple days,
I've been having vertigo.
- Oh, really?
- I'm getting spins.
I think we should
honestly move tomorrow.
It's really up to youse.
I'm ready to go.
That sounds good,
maybe closer to extraction.
Absolutely.
Yeah. Bring it on.
To have two other
people along with me
after so long of doing
everything myself,
it's a breath of fresh air.
We've came together,
we've formed a tribe
it should make us even stronger.
Let's get the hell out of
here as soon as possible.
Right.
Jamie is a great
fit for Jess and I.
I love his resiliency.
He might be from the
other side of the world,
but we have the same goal,
and that's surviving
and making it
to the end of the 21 days.
Now it's time to finish
this together.
Definitely. I agree.
We're out here
and we're allies now.
America and Scotland are allies.
I don't know
how we're gonna do this.
Yeah?
Night, night.
Yeah, it's night, night.
Yeah.
And I'm... and I'm
pretty stoked.
I got... I got two battles
now, not just one.
Mmm-hmm. Are
you okay over there Jamie?
Yeah, I'm feeling
really good actually.
I got nowhere to go.
And I think I'm gonna be
really warm tonight
guys, thank you.
Today we're gonna...
we're gonna move forward.
Find a new location.
On our way to warm.
I had really tough
fight yesterday,
another tough fight
today but never give up.
Never quit.
We're right in here.
We wanna be
halfway to extraction.
If we can get as
close as those caves
- that'd be cool.
- Mmm-hmm.
Hopefully
there'll be animals there.
- Oh, yeah.
- All right.
- Let's go.
- Are you ready?
- Let's roll.
- Let's do this.
At this location we've been at,
it's been very
scarce with the food
and we've got
three mouths to feed
so we've got to move.
Oh, let's do this.
Let's go to our new home.
For the three-mile
trek to their new campsite,
the group will head south
past the dangerous baboon caves.
They must also
navigate their way
through dense forest
and plains carpeted with bindi,
a weed that produces seeds
covered with hook spines
that can easily
pierce human skin.
Oh, man.
The sun just beats
straight down on top of you,
especially climbing
up the mountain.
It just zaps all your calories,
- your hydration.
- Right.
Hear that?
Oh, yeah.
Sounds like baboon.
I want them to stay away.
Let's get out of this place.
Up the hill.
Through the hill.
The hill.
Won't miss those baboons.
It's a lot more difficult
than yesterday's hike.
My mouth is unbelievably dry.
We're definitely
feeling the dehydration
because the sun
is just scorching
but we're gonna get there.
We came too far to stop now.
I'm definitely feeling the heat.
My mouth is dry.
There's thorns everywhere.
Both of my feet are
covered in little thorns.
Brandon, did you go away,
just left after the fallen tree?
Brandon.
Watch yourself.
Brandon.
Oh, man.
Brandon.
We're coming around the corner
and I see Brandon,
all of a sudden, sitting down.
Something's not okay.
And I'm not sure.
Something's not okay.
I feel like I'm gonna throw up.
I'm gonna throw up.
Like I'm spinning.
I definitely see
symptoms of dehydration,
maybe heat exhaustion.
I just got this gut instinct
that this isn't good.
Now I'm getting
a crushing headache.
I know you're tough.
I know it sucks.
By staying here,
we're actually jeopardizing
in building a secured
boma at the new location.
But right now I think it's...
I think it's the
right thing to do.
Stick as a tribe.
The one thing I just noticed too
is both of my ears are ringing
really, really loud.
I kinda feel what he's feeling
but from what I can see,
it's getting quite concerning.
My headache's getting worse.
I feel like I'm gonna pass out.
As Brandon's
condition grows more severe,
a producer steps in.
What's going on?
I don't feel okay.
I'm still having blurry vision
but my headache
has gotten worse.
It went from the back
of my head to the front.
And now it's started to just
push into my whole head
and I can feel, literally,
my heart beating in my forehead.
Okay.
It is the same
was going on the other day.
It's just now it's worst
and it's not stopping.
Brandon describes vertigo.
His head is spinning.
He's having trouble
keeping his balance.
He's feeling weak.
He's feeling nauseous.
Mmm-hmm.
Yeah.
No.
I've never felt, like,
this close to passing out ever.
Serious cases of vertigo
can make it impossible to
balance or do basic tasks.
It can also be a sign
of acute medical issues.
Intense heat and dehydration
can make symptoms worse.
At this stage,
he needs to rehydrate.
He needs to rest.
And he needs to allow his body
a chance to recover
or that could have potential
long-term consequences.
There's no water out here.
I wanna be here but, ultimately,
my health is more important.
I'm gonna tap,
'cause I genuinely
feel like I need to.
This isn't worth
injuring myself over.
Hey, we'll get you out of here.
Bye.
Saying goodbye to
Brandon is pretty sad
at the same time, I
kinda feel relieved
in a sense because I want
him to take care of himself.
Goodbye, guys. My
spirit will be with you.
This isn't
my first partner to leave
but this situation
is much different.
This is definitely not like
my partner from Colombia.
This is a situation
out of necessity.
Not mad at him at all
and he does not need any haters.
I definitely don't
see this coming,
I thought we were
gonna be a good tribe
and I thought we were
gonna push through it today.
And that's a big blow.
I agree.
If your body tells you to stop,
your body tells you stop
and it's okay to listen to it.
And that's why I'm
comfortable walking away.
I'm a tough guy, but I'm a dad.
I have seven kids and that's
what I need to worry about.
Dehydrated and weak,
Brandon is unable to fight off
the extreme
headaches and vertigo.
His early temp drops his
PSR from a 6.9 to a 5.9.
It's time for us to get moving.
The sun has got
down pretty fast...
- Yeah.
- But we'll get going, yeah.
I definitely believe
things happen for a reason.
I believe I'm supposed
to be walking out
at Day 21 with Jamie.
His partner was Beverly,
my partner was Brandon,
two Bs had to leave,
the two Js are walking out.
Where do you wanna go?
Like up and over?
Yeah. Let's do that.
With only two
hours of sunlight remaining,
Jamie and Jessica
must hike another mile
to reach their new water source.
Ow.
My feet are taking a beating.
These thorns are no joke.
Oh.
That'd go
right through your foot.
It's a very strange and
unfamiliar environment.
It's almost like a desert
covered in thorn bushes.
This is unreal.
Right now, my feet
are absolutely torn up
but we've got a job to do today.
And I'm just... I just
keep on pushing forward.
That is crazy.
Easy does it.
Wow.
There we go.
Nice streams.
Oh.
Be careful.
It's kinda slippery.
It feels nice after walking
through some thorns.
Cools our feet down.
We need to look out for
some sort of cliffs on the left.
It shouldn't be
too far from here.
Right. So, that is
the rock that's on the map.
And that's our water
source down there.
We set-up camp
here like right there.
Looks like thorn bushes.
Yeah.
I feel like it's
already a good circle.
- And build around it, like a horse shoe.
- Hmm-mmm.
As long as you're all
right with that then I'm cool.
Sounds good.
I feel excited
to see the new location.
It's near water, so
we've picked our location
to set up a boma.
All we need to do really
is close off the tree gaps
and between the bushes.
It was quite windy and
the sun's coming down
pretty hard as well.
So, time is the key here.
Let's get a fire on
and I'll get the boma,
so we're getting two
things done at once.
I like it. All right.
Just collecting some
thorns for our boma
just to secure that.
The wind is picking up big time
so I'm going as fast as I can.
I like the
rocks because they seem
to help with the heat.
Definitely, I...
I feel
overwhelmed. A little nervous.
I'm thinking of my other boma,
we had a roof and everything.
Had a nice little fire pit
and here I have to
settle for a lot less
because the time
that we had to make
whatever we have in front of us
and we have to make do with it.
We just need to face it.
I know we're gonna
have a shelter tonight.
I'm gonna need
you to just lie out,
put the fire right the
length of our bodies
and just see what happens.
It's only for tonight.
Right.
Let's do that, yeah.
What a day, man.
Yeah.
Just you and I now.
Oh, man. I pray
that that wind stops and...
Now I'm just
digging my little hole
so I can stay warm.
So that is in
the shelter for tonight,
just dug out, like,
almost like a grave.
So, winds pretty back tonight
and I've got some
firewood hanging in there,
so we're just trying to
stay as hot as possible.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
It's cold.
I'm shivering.
Absolutely driving me crazy.
How are you feeling?
Miserable.
I'm less than miserable.
Too cold to do anything
else than be by this fire.
The last night was brutal
and it made me think of Colombia
when I was medically
tapped for hypothermia.
There was a couple
differences, though.
We made sure we
had that fire going
and I also had
my partner, Jamie.
That's one hell of a way
to get to know somebody
what they're about.
The change and the contrast
and as weather from yesterday
was like a line stretch.
Yeah.
Jessica was
so close to tapping out.
So, I'm just hoping
that she could get
to the end of the challenge
because I know how
much this means to her.
A cold front has swept in
from the Indian ocean
across the African plains
plunging temperatures
36 degrees in a single day.
And harsh 25-mile per hour winds
are making the 48-degree
weather feel more like 40.
Just gotta wake up and
get some wood.
About.
Oh, that wind.
Here we go.
Never quit.
Never give up.
You know we could just
stuff one on each end.
Jamie and
Jessica are building a lean
to inside their boma
using two Y-shaped beams
that will support a
larger crossbeam.
Against this, they'll lean poles
that they'll layer
with olive branches
to form a roof, protecting them
from the freezing rain.
It's cold.
It's really cold.
I don't wanna have
a repeat of Colombia.
I definitely don't
wanna just succumb
to the elements that
I feel like I can beat.
It's getting there
slow and steady.
All right.
Aye.
I can't do Scottish.
Right now, I'm...
It's like a London accent,
- "Right now, I'm just..."
- Right now.
He is actually pretty funny.
He's trying to teach
me to speak Scottish.
But apparently, I
have a London accent.
What's the difference
between London and Scot?
They're totally different.
Oh, bloody hell.
That is hilarious, man.
Improvements
have happened in the boma.
This is the shelter.
So, we're getting there.
- Freezing, man.
- Mmm-hmm.
Cold. Cold.
Oh, man.
I don't know how
much more a person can take.
Yeah. I mean, I'm only human.
That sun needs to come out
and dry up all this rain.
This rain needs to stop...
or I'm not exactly sure
what's gonna happen
for me personally.
We need firewood.
Hopefully, they're gonna
stop before we use all of it.
We're not gonna back out,
just got to keep on going
hopefully, there are
drier days to come.
And just like that.
The rain stops.
Thank God.
It means we have
got a dry spell.
Got to take the
opportunities while it's there.
Everything is soaking wet.
We've nearly depleted
all our firewood
just to try and
keep the fire going.
Oh, my goodness.
I have reeds.
You sure do.
You... Dude.
I'm trying my best.
What are you thinking?
Just weaving it and fluff?
Mmm-hmm.
Good idea.
Ooh, oh, that wind.
Get in here, get warmed.
I have been able to reinforce
the boma for better insulation.
I hope tomorrow's warm so
we can go out and explore.
As soon as I get decent sleep,
plus I want to do
some hunting as well.
Exactly.
Even though it is
about overcast today,
the night is looking good
and Jessica has got a
lot done to the shelter,
this windbreaker
has been put up,
the fire's going good.
Gonna need to
keep drinking though,
and hopefully, we get
a good sleep tonight
and I could do a bit of
adventuring tomorrow.
I'm feeling a little weak.
We definitely need to eat.
We need to stay hydrated as well
but we need to get
at least something.
I've been here before,
I think my mind is
still in, you know,
in this challenge and
I'm gonna keep pushing.
I woke up to
a complete sunshine.
It's very important
to get some warmth.
Burning a lot of calories
just sitting there shivering.
Hunting and trapping back home,
it's not what I do.
But we need to find some
protein just to keep going.
I'll just tend to the fire
and boil some water.
I'm just going up this way.
Good luck.
Thanks.
There's game trails everywhere,
there's animal
droppings everywhere.
It seemed quite fresh as well,
it's very important
to get some meat.
I've already done
two hikes so far,
so my body is feeling it.
Even though I might
feel full of energy,
it can happen at a split second.
I can collapse
and that could lead
to further problems.
The wind's picking up
and it's heading down that way
which is bad.
I'm sending my scent.
I thought I heard a bark,
it could be a warthog.
I'm pretty sure I heard noises.
Wow. Isn't that something?
It's a fresh kill from
the looks of things.
It's a fresh kill
from the looks of things.
Thought I heard something.
I'm just trying to be
silent as possible.
It's a bush buck.
It looks a bit off,
but there could be
good meat on the other side,
stomach looks a bit bloated,
I better watch I
don't touch that.
I'll try and drag it back
to get as much as I can from it.
I'm not sure how
Jessica is gonna feel
about this, of course,
it's scavenged meat.
And I don't know if she'll be
into that kind of thing.
Oh, my God.
I've been out here
for two weeks now
and I'm feeling it,
it's only a tiny bush buck
but it seems pretty heavy
when I'm dragging it.
Wow.
I have food.
Dude, what?
Yup.
Holy.
It feels good to see those wads.
Jamie, you're awesome.
Wow.
I don't know if you'll like it.
- Why? Was it dead?
- Yup.
Okay. So obviously,
it was a kill from an animal.
That's a concern.
The meat could
be spoiled inside.
It's bloated but it'll be fine,
that's good meat along the back.
The hide I can turn that
using it to make shoes.
Okay.
We need food.
- Okay, I'll dress it just now.
- Sounds good.
So, we'll just fry up
what we can tonight.
We're gonna avoid certain areas
because we can't
be picky out here.
You just got to
be smart about it.
It's a wonderful feeling to know
we're gonna have
some food tonight.
There's a lot of
processing need to be done
and the sun is just
about to go down.
So, I need to be really fast.
I'm using here an arrow head.
One little slip of that
and it could puncture the
stomach called the gut sac
and that'll just ruin
the meat entirely.
I need to really
watch what I'm doing.
Hey, you're doing awesome.
I'm gonna start
collecting more firewood.
All right. No problem.
Get some shoes out of that.
It's better, I felt it stick.
To avoid food poisoning,
Jamie harvests only the
meat that looks red and healthy
about 16 oz along
the bush buck's back
and discards the rest.
We should keep away
any of those from the boma.
Tonight is all
about keeping our boma safe.
Predators will be out.
They will smell
the meat in the air
and they will come to our boma
so we'll make sure we've
got plenty of firewood
to keep the fire blazing.
We're gonna make
sure we stack high
with our acacia thorns.
We'll do what we got to do.
This is our boma.
I want this to hurry up so I can
get crackin' on this
bloody hide, man.
Yeah. We'll
tag team this hide. I...
Are you sure?
Can boil the water,
I'll come find you, help you.
That sounds good.
Oh, my goodness, it's
melting away, and it...
- I need to use a brain.
- Okay.
Right now, I'm going to start
processing the hide
to hopefully make some shoes
in a couple of days' time.
Smell of that is just horrible.
I'm using my stone and I
rub the hide as much as I can
to try and get any
tissue out any muscle off,
so it is a nice sheet of skin.
When I'm ready to turn the hide,
I take the brains out
and rub it into the hide
and hopefully leave
it to dry in the sun.
The brain just keeps it
nice, firm, but flexible.
Just dig in and start rubbing.
- Yeah.
- All right.
This whole process
is absolutely disgusting.
I wanna make bad ass shoes
with this, some moccasins.
- That's so cool.
- Yeah.
We're definitely making sure
that we're comfortable
and that's gonna help us
with our perseverance.
I mean, being
comfortable is a huge thing.
I never did this in Colombia,
that's for damn sure.
We're working as a good team.
That looks good.
Now, it's time for
the drying process.
You can never guarantee
how long that will take.
Great job.
Cool. Cool.
Are you ready?
I'm
ready. Let's do this.
It looks dry.
It's a little easier to cut.
I'm so indecisive.
Like I'm really shopping
for shoes or something.
So I'm just making holes,
this is gonna fold
over and latch together.
This has got to be
as tight as possible.
Oh, that sun.
Sometimes it's unbearable.
I have low energy, like,
it's hot today.
Just folding it
over, pointed toe.
How do they feel?
Feel good.
We got shoes.
Yeah.
The sun hit me hard
and started to realize I
was feeling really sick,
really lightheaded.
I've been drinking enough water
for a couple hours now.
Slowly feeling better but
not a hundred percent.
Oh, man.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
You sure you're okay?
Mmm-hmm.
You don't seem okay.
I thought I was drinking enough.
My body is starting
to wind down.
But it's a little
worrisome to think
"Okay. Am I gonna
have the energy
for the extraction hike?"
I don't think I'm gonna
be very productive today.
I'm sorry.
Don't need sorry to me.
I might need
you to boil mine for me.
That's fine.
We're both drained
especially Jessica.
I'm just trying to
look out for her.
I can definitely feel
the strain myself as well.
I am pretty hungry.
My body's feeling it.
It's been a good few days
since we've eaten a bush buck,
I just need to find
some food right now
especially coming
up to extraction.
Wow. A massive crab.
Wow, look at that.
Ow, this guy is strong.
Ow ow.
Ow.
Ow.
I'm gonna go to the water store.
That was good.
- That was American.
- I'm from Texas
and I'm just chopping
this tree up right now
just to pass over to
my partner, Jessica,
so she can weave
it into the roof
and the shelter.
- That's no good, is it?
- Yee-haw.
- I'm going to get a coffee.
- Mmm-hmm.
I live in New
Jersey, California.
Like, "Oh my God."
Like this tree is, like,
being totally destroyed.
Ow.
- Jamie, are you good?
- Ow.
I got a big massive crab
but it's bitten the out me, man.
Ow, ow.
-Ow. -Did you get it?
I've got it. It's
huge, man.
Wow. Oh, my God.
I'm so proud of you.
Look at this,
so aggressive this guy.
Bust my nail open.
He was putting up a fight.
But that's good. I'm
glad I've got a big crab.
Let's go back to
the boma and feast.
Oh, he's moving right now.
I'm so sorry Mr. Crabs
but I'm hungry.
I'm thankful for
my partner Jamie.
It's gonna be extremely
beneficial for us
to have that food.
Get ready to feast on
some delicious crab.
Bon appetite.
I never had a
big crab like this.
They are so amazing.
The first bite just
taste like chicken.
Wow. This is incredible.
All right. Delicious.
It's really good.
Tastes like energy.
I can feel nutrients
go into my body
that's in desperate need of 'em.
Once I tried some of the crab
my energy and my thought process
just excelled beyond belief.
So...
Just ready for tomorrow.
Got a rough night.
So cold.
It's extraction day
and it is pouring down,
just raining constant all night,
so everything is soaked.
This place is haunted, man,
they just don't
want you to be here,
you get here.
- Just ready to go.
- Let's go.
Mother Nature is
definitely giving us
a chilling farewell,
all right we need
to get moving fast.
We'll get the map before we go.
That's here.
And we're gonna
be walking along...
To the caves there,
some stones actually
- we're looking for.
- It's gonna be a difficult
walking through this
area 'cause of the mud.
And get to that road there
and it leads straight
to the extraction.
- Good to go?
- Yeah.
Let's do this, man.
Let's go. Yeah.
Let's get out of here.
Jamie and
Jessica must hike for miles
through muddy terrain,
and acacia forests
that conceal boomslang
or tree snakes,
whose hemotoxic bite
can cause victims to bleed
from their eyes.
And 300 lb warthogs
whose tusks can
grow up to 10 in long.
The final stretch
is a half mile hike
up a steep mountainside
where they'll meet
their extraction vehicle
on a remote game trail.
There's lots of rain
and it's just
constantly on my mind
what's gonna happen
through this trek,
I'm apprehensive but
we need to get it done.
Watch here.
It's cold. It's wet.
I'm not gonna miss
this weather at all.
I'm a little nervous.
The rain could pick up,
could come down harder,
it could come down
colder, I guess.
Hold on.
This is a joke on my feet.
I kicked my shoes off,
they weren't working.
Oh, man.
Damn it's steep.
Hey.
Are you all right? Are you okay?
Why me? Why?
- Oh, my God.
- You good?
The rain is
washing the game trails away
and it's extremely slide up,
it's definitely dangerous.
That's what I'm saying.
Could get hypothermia on Day 21.
Feel like I did in Colombia.
Cold.
The way of the hypothermia.
I have to take you
out of this challenge.
One foot in front of the other.
Very dense vegetation.
Oh. -
- Wow.
- I was like...
That was so close, man,
holy.
If that warthog caught one of us
that would've just
sliced our leg to pieces.
That is dangerous, man.
That thing looks mad.
Oh, it's so cold, man.
As I breathe up
that puts that chill
right through my body.
I just... I just need
to get out of here.
Quick, keep moving fast.
I've came so far, I'm
never gonna give up,
ask them all, never give up.
I'm so cold.
What's pushing me through
is to finally get on that truck
and turn around
and saying I finished.
I did 21 days.
Oh, I'm just gonna power on.
Is this ever going to end?
You could feel it
heating up a bit.
It feels good.
What a climb.
This is using every
last bit of energy
just getting up here.
Hanging in there?
My feet are taking a
beating, the stones.
Yup.
- All right.
- I'm gonna just try
and keep my eyes
open for the road here.
I hope that this is it.
I'm sure we are close.
Oh, look, look, look.
- See it?
- There's our vehicle.
We're here.
Looks like we've made it.
- Oh, there's our vehicle.
- Hey, come on! Yes!
Day 21.
It's time to go home
now. Come on!
Oh, my God.
- Yes!
- Finished!
The wild Scottish man
came to Africa, succeeded,
beaten the weather,
beaten all the elements,
I cannot put this into words.
This is the best feeling,
the hardest but most rewarding
and the most
enjoyable experience
- in my whole life.
- Oh, yeah.
Finishing Day
21 it's this relief
that I've got now.
It's a whole new
sensation of pride,
self-respect, and understanding
of my abilities and
my achievements.
And if I could do that,
there's a lot more I can do.
We've done it.
Yes!
Me and Jamie have a partnership.
And it's a unique bond.
We learned a lot
from each other.
Even though he's in
Scotland, and I'm in America,
it goes to show
we're all people.
And survival does
not mean anything
based on where
you're coming from.
Survival, it's about
being human.
Over the course of 21 days,
Jamie lost a total of 24 lbs.
His PSR rises from 7.1 to 8.1.
This is what it's all about.
I'm finished!
Yes!
Jessica lost a total of 32 lbs
completing the full 21 days.
Increases her
PSR from 7.3 to 8.0.
Never give up.
Come on! Yes!
Starting off those two
international survivalists
and two Americans survivalist.
But at the end of the day,
me and Jessica
made it to the end
and that shows that
humans come together
in any circumstance
to overcome any situation.
And that's exactly
what we've done.
We did it, partner.
Yes.
I've done it!
- Yeah!
- Yes!
