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.
01:29It's MICROCHICAL SONicitors.
01:30It's really good.
01:31It's not just that.
01:32I hate the test.
01:33It's really good.
01:34I've never seen it.
01:35It will be there.
01:36You're still in the same place.
01:37Oh, you'll find it.
01:38I haven't done it even.
01:39It's even a thing.
01:40It's just a bit weird.
01:41You'll find it, too.
01:42It's so nice.
01:43I've never seen it.
01:44It's just a bit weird.
01:45I know he's coming back.
01:46I've never seen it.
01:47It's just a bit weird.
01:48I've never seen it before.
01:49No, you're in your chance.
02:20Oh, 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.
02:45So, 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 after digging for worms
03:20and going to bed with dirty clothes.
03:24You know, five weeks.
03:26Everything dirty
03:29is now washed
03:32apart 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.
04:00I'm no good at cold water.
04:01That has got to be
04:06one of the highlights
04:08of my entire time here, actually.
04:10This is just bliss.
04:28But
04:28sitting on this beach,
04:31looking at the sun,
04:33actually some company
04:34would be nice
04:35right now.
04:37I don't want to leave here,
04:38but I just want to go back
04:40just for a day.
04:41I just want to go back
04:42and get some hugs.
04:47I've tried so hard
04:49all my life
04:49to be independent.
04:51I thought being alone
04:52would be the easy part.
04:57But the longer it's going,
04:59the harder I'm finding it.
05:03Craving connection
05:05to the point
05:07where last night
05:08instead of dreaming
05:10about having cravings
05:13for certain food,
05:15I was having cravings
05:17for certain people
05:19and
05:20just wanting people.
05:26Isn't that...
05:28I didn't expect that.
05:29I hope I can carry this feeling
05:33with me back home
05:35that when I was out here
05:37a month,
05:38all I wanted
05:39was a hug.
05:52It's kind of nice.
05:54I can't say last night
06:07was hugely successful,
06:09but we did catch an eel.
06:24but it's only about
06:28that round.
06:32It's the smallest one
06:34I've ever seen.
06:34It's the smallest little eel
06:47I've ever seen,
06:48but anyway,
06:49it's better than nothing.
06:50almost.
06:52But yes,
06:54definitely not going nuts
06:55out there,
06:56but I think I'll just
06:58enjoy my last meal.
07:01I've got a few
07:01fiddly little food scraps.
07:03I've got one little
07:04sprawny little eel.
07:05That's about it.
07:07And then
07:08we are going hungry.
07:10All right,
07:15first job this morning
07:16process,
07:17the smallest eel
07:19in history.
07:28Can't see.
07:37A few of the quolls
07:38got in there.
07:40Definitely not
07:42after here,
07:43is he?
07:46I hope to find
07:47him all stinky.
07:54Fuck.
07:59Yep,
07:59he's gone.
08:04All right.
08:10That is very
08:12disappointing.
08:14So the least.
08:19Shit.
08:21Righto.
08:24We won't make that
08:26mistake again,
08:27mother.
08:27just, you know,
08:37when you're getting
08:37low on food,
08:38it just becomes
08:40a bit of a worry,
08:41you know,
08:42like it's something
08:42that just won't
08:43leave you alone.
08:44way up some bones.
08:54Looking at it,
08:54it's not a lot of food,
08:55is it?
08:57Anyway,
08:57it's all I got.
09:00I reckon I can feel
09:01I'm losing a bit of weight
09:02now.
09:02I can go and eat.
09:08All right.
09:09Crispy eel bones.
09:13Food's just driving me nuts,
09:15especially at night,
09:16Christ.
09:17And I've been eating
09:18Jesus a bit anyway.
09:23So it's going to be
09:24interesting when I go
09:25into not eating at all,
09:26see what happens.
09:27Because I've thought
09:30of everything I can
09:31to procure food,
09:32catch bait,
09:33catch fish,
09:34catch eels,
09:35but it's definitely
09:36not enough.
09:38It'd be good
09:39to stock up me pantry.
09:43Just keep trying
09:45to come up
09:45with better ideas.
09:47Jesus, man,
09:48I'm running out now.
09:52I'm just hoping
09:53if I just keep fishing,
09:55you know,
09:56it'd be great
09:56if I can get an eel
09:57tonight or tomorrow
09:58night.
10:01And if not,
10:03if we start counting
10:04the days I don't eat.
10:08Because we haven't
10:08done that really yet.
10:12If we don't catch
10:13anything tonight,
10:14it could be
10:15the beginning
10:15of the end.
10:26all right,
10:44so I've woken up,
10:45didn't really sleep.
10:47I don't know why,
10:48I'm just,
10:49just a bit restless.
10:53Had my first
10:54little vibe
10:55of loneliness
10:56when I wake up
10:59that I've had out here.
11:04First little feeling,
11:05you know,
11:06of just like,
11:07hmm,
11:08that empty,
11:09that empty feeling
11:11in your stomach.
11:17It's the first time
11:19I've felt it out here.
11:25It's definitely
11:26a feeling that,
11:27um,
11:29pulls you,
11:32you know,
11:32it's like a feeling
11:33that makes you want to go.
11:35I'm going home.
11:44You know,
11:45it's the vibe
11:46it gives you.
11:48It really is.
11:50There's no two ways
11:52about it.
11:54Abby and
11:55our two daughters,
11:57that's how I'm
11:57missing the most.
12:03How I met Abby,
12:04my wife,
12:05was living in the bush
12:06when I was 19.
12:09She had her own
12:10trap line
12:10and I had mine
12:11and we'd go out
12:12in the bush
12:13during the day
12:13and then come back
12:14and meet up at camp
12:15every night.
12:16Are you going to
12:17dig up some potatoes?
12:18It's definitely
12:19a rare thing
12:20to find someone
12:21who can do that
12:22so I realised
12:24pretty quick
12:24that she was
12:25a keeper
12:26so, yeah.
12:28Another one in there.
12:29Are there any
12:30spuds in there?
12:31You know,
12:32the fact that
12:33I have a wife
12:34to a lot of people
12:35I went to high school
12:36it was crazy
12:37because
12:38I never talked
12:39to girls
12:40or anything like that
12:41when I was
12:42in high school.
12:43We got them all?
12:44Alright,
12:45can you take them
12:45inside?
12:46I was super awkward.
12:48Probably had
12:49a bit of social anxiety.
12:51I don't know why
12:52but I did.
12:56We really are
12:57soulmates.
12:58Oh, you got the spuds
13:00in one hand
13:01meeting Abby.
13:03I felt very,
13:04very lucky
13:05to have done that.
13:09As much as I'm
13:10missing my family
13:11I'm also
13:13trying not to
13:14wish away
13:15this amazing adventure
13:17that we're on
13:18because this is
13:18something to cherish
13:20as well, you know.
13:21roll her up
13:22and take her down
13:23to the river.
13:27You know,
13:27that opportunity
13:29to take home
13:30quarter of a million dollars
13:32that's sort of
13:33once in a lifetime
13:34for my family.
13:36Let's get in the water
13:39and see how we go.
13:43This is Hugh
13:43who waits on the bottom.
13:45Today
13:46I want to get
13:47my gill net
13:48in the water.
13:49Stayed up late
13:50last night
13:51finishing it off.
13:57Catching more trout.
13:59We've had some
14:00success with the spear
14:02but
14:02it's pretty on and off
14:05and it depends
14:06on the weather.
14:08I need to figure out
14:09another way
14:10so that I can get
14:11food out here
14:12so that I can stay
14:13out here longer,
14:15you know.
14:16If I don't get food
14:17I'm pretty much
14:18unbuggered.
14:24I see a gill net
14:25and I'm watching
14:26like a hawk
14:27and I feel better
14:30about the gill net
14:31because it doesn't
14:32take as much energy,
14:34you know.
14:34God, that neck
14:36can change
14:37everything for us
14:38if we
14:39start catching
14:41a few trout.
14:42It looks like there's
14:50a bit of colour over there
14:52in Miami.
15:06surely not.
15:07Surely not.
15:14Surely not.
15:18It's probably just
15:19the pole reflecting
15:20off the water.
15:24The pole's not
15:25moving much
15:26but I can
15:28definitely see
15:29something there.
15:32Oh, yes.
15:44We got up there.
15:47Holy heck,
15:48that's a nice trout.
15:51It worked.
15:54Forgive me,
15:55it does work.
15:56Yes.
15:59Chicken.
16:03Holy cow.
16:08Well, that's why
16:09it's not there
16:09and he's got
16:10a net wrapped
16:12right around
16:12its gill.
16:14Yes.
16:16Holy shit, man.
16:19Look at that.
16:20Yee-hoo.
16:24Man, I can't
16:25believe that.
16:27The net works.
16:29I reckon
16:29that's probably
16:31the biggest one
16:33we've caught
16:33so far.
16:35This is a game
16:36changer, man.
16:38Holy shit.
16:39All right.
17:04See that?
17:05Look what I found.
17:07A little moth.
17:08A little moth.
17:11A little moth.
17:11A little bit of fat.
17:17Don't taste that
17:18bad moth.
17:21I think today's
17:2213 or 14 days
17:23since I've eaten.
17:29That's ridiculous.
17:38So, the whole idea
17:42is to take
17:43one or two rods
17:44and just put some
17:46worms out there
17:47and just see
17:47what happens.
17:52This is the
17:53weakest I've felt.
17:55Like, I've actually
17:55got aches
17:56in my stomach
17:57right now.
17:58I could vomit
17:58almost.
18:00It's a hunger
18:00I've never felt.
18:02My mouth's dry.
18:07Yeah.
18:08I don't know
18:08how...
18:09I don't know...
