00:00Aaaaaaahhhhhh!
00:19I've been coming on close to 30 days of being in mud.
00:22This is when you think about tapping out.
00:24Nothing drives.
00:26This is like my IFBOSS card out here.
00:29I'm not having a feeding phase, really.
00:34And that's so disappointing.
00:37We've got to make some shit happen.
00:39And it could change the game, I reckon.
00:43My morale is usually good,
00:46but then when I've got food in me,
00:48oh, positivity out my arse.
00:51Oh, my God!
00:53Where you at? Where you at?
00:56I've lost a lot of jerky.
00:58You've got to sleep with us tonight.
01:00Get!
01:01Get!
01:02I've only got two feeds left.
01:04Because I haven't caught any off in a few days
01:06because I haven't had bait.
01:07You beauty!
01:08Check this shit out.
01:09That's made the treat worthwhile.
01:11Woohoo!
01:12Man, I've never seen that before.
01:14That's a fair hole.
01:16We've lost more than 25 kilos,
01:19so I don't know if that is kind of classifying as starving.
01:23Ah!
01:25That was the closest I've come to passing out.
01:29How can we hang out!
01:30Look!
01:31I want to rain.
01:32Are you thinking?
01:32More and more.
01:33Come over there!
01:34I'm not, man.
01:35Oh, fun!
01:37I know.
01:38You're leaving.
01:39C đị radishes!
01:40That's a tricmisor!
01:41You're leaving.
01:42Please.
01:43This is coming!
01:44It's quite a story,
01:46I learned a lot of things.
01:48There's an скre源.
01:50Thank you, finding you for playing power.
01:52Oh, the sun's come out.
02:22I reckon today's going to be a sunny day.
02:26That's exciting.
02:28I might wash some socks and undies and myself,
02:36which I'm pretty excited about.
02:43We have fire.
02:46So tea tree and Tasmanian pepper
02:51both have antifungal, antimicrobial properties,
02:56plus they smell really good.
02:59I'm going to wash my shirt.
03:02Isn't it funny how we take hot running water for granted?
03:06That's why I love doing stuff like this,
03:08because it really puts things into perspective.
03:11And it smells so good.
03:16So I'm filthy.
03:18After digging for worms and going to bed with dirty clothes,
03:24you know, five weeks.
03:26Everything dirty is now washed apart from me.
03:34I'm getting in.
03:37Oh, I'm so excited.
03:39I'm going to be clean.
03:40That's it.
03:59I can't do it.
03:59I'm no good at cold water.
04:01that has got to be one of the highlights of my entire time here actually
04:10this is just bliss
04:21but sitting on this beach looking at the sun actually some company would be nice right now
04:36i don't want to leave here but i just want to go back just for a day i just want to go back
04:42and get some hugs
04:44i've tried so hard all my life to be independent
04:50i thought being alone would be the easy part
04:54but the longer it's going the harder i'm finding it
05:01craving connection to the point where last night instead of dreaming about having cravings for
05:13certain food
05:15i was having cravings for certain people and
05:22just wanting people
05:27isn't that
05:28i didn't expect that
05:31i hope i can carry this feeling with me back home
05:36that when i was out here a month all i wanted was a hug
05:51it's kind of nice
05:53it's kind of nice
05:58i can't say last night was hugely successful but we did catch an eel
06:16but it's only about that round
06:29that's the smallest one i've ever seen
06:34it's the smallest little eel i've ever seen but anyway it's better than nothing
06:50almost
06:52but yeah it's definitely not going nuts out there but i think i'll just enjoy my last meal
06:59i got a few fiddly little food scraps
07:03i've got one little scrawny little eel that's about it
07:06and then we are going hungry
07:13what are our first job this morning process it's the smallest eel in history
07:24i can't see
07:36who the requal's got in there
07:38definitely not under here is it
07:42i hope to find them all stinty
07:46fuck
07:58yep he's gone
08:03all right
08:11that is very disappointing
08:14all right
08:19shit
08:21righto
08:24we won't make that mistake again muzzle
08:35just you know when you're getting low on food
08:39it just becomes a bit of a worry you know like something that just won't leave you alone
08:43blow up some bones
08:50looking at it's not a lot of food is it
08:55anyway that's all i got
08:57i reckon i can feel i'm losing a bit of weight now
09:01you can go and eat
09:03you can go and eat
09:08all right
09:09crispy eel bones
09:12food's just driving me nuts
09:14especially at night for christ
09:16and i've been eating jesus a bit anyway
09:23so it's gonna be interesting when i go into not eating at all see what happens
09:28so i've thought of everything i can to procure food
09:32catch bait catch fish catch eels but
09:35it's definitely not enough
09:37it'd be good to stock up me pantry
09:44keep trying to come up with better ideas
09:46jesus man i'm running out now
09:48i'm just hoping if i just keep fishing
09:54you know it'd be great if i get an eel tonight or tomorrow night
09:59and if not
10:02we start counting the days i don't eat
10:06because we haven't done that really yet
10:10if we don't catch anything tonight
10:13it could be the beginning of the end
10:16so i've woken up
10:32i didn't really see
10:34i've woken up
10:36i didn't really see
10:38i've woken up
10:40i didn't really see
10:44i don't know why i'm just
10:47just a bit restless
10:51had my first little vibe of loneliness
10:56when i wake up
10:58that i've had out here
11:01first little feeling you know
11:05just like
11:06that empty
11:08that empty feeling
11:10in your stomach
11:12it's the first time i've felt it out here
11:23it's definitely a feeling that um
11:27pulls you
11:29you know
11:30it's like a feeling that makes you want to go
11:33i'm going home
11:40you know
11:44it's the vibe it gives you
11:46it really is
11:48there's no two ways about it
11:51abby and our two daughters
11:55that's how i'm missing the most
11:58how i met abby my wife was living in the bush when i was 19
12:08she had her own trap line and i had mine
12:10and we'd go out in the bush during the day and then come back and meet up at camp every night
12:15we're gonna dig up some potatoes
12:17it's definitely a rare thing to find someone who can do that so i realized pretty quick that um she was a keeper so yeah
12:26another one
12:29are there any spuds in there
12:31you know
12:32the fact that i have a wife to a lot of people i went to high school it was crazy
12:37because i never talked to girls or anything like that when i was in high school
12:42we got them all
12:44all right can you take them inside
12:46i was super awkward
12:48probably had a bit of social anxiety
12:51i don't know why but i did
12:55we really are soul mates
12:58oh you got the spuds in one hand
13:01meeting abby
13:02and i felt very very lucky to have done that
13:07as much as i'm missing my family i'm also trying not to wish away this amazing adventure that we're on
13:17because this is something to cherish as well you know
13:21oh we're up and take it down to the river
13:24you know that that opportunity to take home quarter of a million dollars
13:31that's sort of once in a lifetime for my family
13:36let's get in the water
13:39see how we go
13:41this is here he waits on the bottom
13:44today i want to get my gill net in the water
13:48stayed up late last night finishing it off
13:52catching more trout
13:59we've had some success with despair but
14:02it's pretty on and off and it depends on the weather
14:06i need to figure out another way so that i can get food out here
14:11so that i can stay out here longer you know
14:14if i don't get food i'm pretty much buggered
14:18i see the gill net i'm watching like a hawk
14:28and i feel better about the gill net because it doesn't take as much energy you know
14:33god that neck change everything for us eh if we start catching a few trout
14:40start catching a few trout
14:47this looks like there's a bit of colour over there by only
15:06surely not
15:09it's probably just the pole reflecting off the water
15:22the pole's not moving much
15:26but i can definitely see
15:30something there
15:41oh yes
15:44we got up there
15:46holy heck that's a nice trout
15:51it worked
15:54forgive me it does work
15:57yes
15:59chicken
16:02oh yeah
16:06well that's why it's not there
16:09and he's got a net wrapped right around its gill
16:12yes
16:15holy shit man
16:18look at that
16:20yeehee
16:23man i can't believe that
16:26the net works
16:28i reckon that's probably
16:31the biggest one we've caught so far
16:34this is a game changer man
16:37holy shit
16:39all right
16:50see that look what i found
16:52it's a little moth
17:07a little moth
17:09a protein
17:11a little bit of fat
17:13a little moth
17:14and
17:16i'm gonna taste that good moth
17:20i think today is 13 or 14 days since i've eaten
17:25That's ridiculous.
17:41So the whole idea is to take one or two rods and just put some worms out there and just
17:47see what happens.
17:52This is the weakest I've felt, like I've actually got aches in my stomach right now, I could
17:58vomit almost.
18:00It's a hunger I've never felt, a mouth dry, I don't know how to do it.
