Alone

¶ ¶

- Holy crap. Bear track.

Shack.

This bear is poking around camp.

Holy .

¶ ¶

Fish trap's stuck.

Damn it.

All right. I'm cutting it.

There she goes. Just piss-poor performance.

Well. I'll take beach fish.

This represents multiple days' worth of calories.

Thank you, lake, for the fish.

I really didn't want to leave this early.

Let's carry her.

- Feel like 37 days is no time at all.

I had so much more I wanted to build.

I had so many more animals that I wanted to hunt.

¶ ¶

narrator: In "Alone's" most terrifying location yet,

ten participants

face the deadliest predator in North America...

There he is, right there.

- Grizzly bears. - Hey, bear!

- We got a lot of grizzly here.

I'm gonna have to live with them.

Go on! Get!

- Every second we're on the land, we're being hunted.

Holy . Mountain lion.

- He's circling around my shelter.

narrator: Bone-chilling cold...

Winter's coming.

- You combine the wind with the rain and the cold,

this place could make the Arctic look easy.

Oh, .

narrator: And complete isolation.

- You cannot hide from yourself,

mentally and emotionally.

There's no place to go.

- I am suffering from loneliness.

narrator: Who will survive?

Yes! Yes!

This could be the end.

- I don't want to tap, but I don't want to die either.

- You have to suffer before you can succeed.

narrator: The last one standing wins.

- At what point do I push the button?

¶ ¶

It's stinking cold, man.

Not fun.

No fun at all.

¶ Oh why, oh why is it so damn cold? ¶

¶ The wind keeps at it again ¶

¶ And I try every day just to go another day ¶

¶ No matter how hard it gets ¶

The winds are heavy,

so it's just blowing in every gap, everywhere.

Holy cow.

¶ ¶

Never experienced anything this cold.

It's really hard to fall asleep.

Really hard to get warm.

¶ ¶

I gotta spend the day chinking all the cracks

from the inside with moss,

just to make it extra wind-proof.

¶ ¶

This place is hypothermia's paradise.

¶ ¶

We're gonna get our chink on. Start at the bottom.

¶ ¶

I can't even imagine how it gets

in, like, December or January.

¶ ¶

Anyone else tapping out right now?

I hope so.

¶ ¶

Take that, windy wall.

¶ ¶

Control of your mind is a big deal out here.

¶ ¶

I got to give thanks to my brother

for helping me train my mind

and control the negative thoughts when they come.

¶ ¶

I wish you were mushrooms I could eat.

¶ ¶

My brother wants me to do these visualization things.

Say it, believe it, do it.

¶ ¶

It's cold. It's hard out here.

But that's no reason for me to give up.

Gotta visualize the win, Biko.

It's the only outcome you see.

¶ ¶

It's time to get a fire going.

¶ ¶

Pretty excited about my freshly-chinked cabin.

¶ My cabin is gonna be warm and awesome ¶

¶ All the way through winter ¶

¶ ¶

- Today is my oldest brother, Shane's, birthday.

Happy birthday, Shane.

He always been a huge supporter of mine.

And he would love to be out here hunting.

I don't know how he'd do with the starving part.

Bet he's eating some good meals today.

¶ ¶

It's a beautiful, gorgeous, sunny, cold day.

¶ ¶

But I'm hungry.

¶ ¶

I've had three or four snows now

and I keep saying

the snow's gonna bring the animals down to me.

But I'm not seeing animal signs.

And so right now I'm gonna go fishing.

¶ ¶

What is that?

¶ ¶

What the hell?

¶ ¶

¶ ¶

¶ ¶

I have not eaten red meat this entire time.

This is an absolute freaking blessing.

¶ ¶

Typically, I would not eat an animal

with not knowing how it died.

But, like, this thing's hardly rigid.

It has not been dead long.

¶ ¶

That's not good.

¶ ¶

There is dinner, folks.

Breasts, legs are in there, neck, heart, liver.

Everything looked good.

I don't see any worms in the meat, just in the guts.

But I'm gonna boil the hell out of it.

Hopefully, it's not a disease.

¶ ¶

I'm not doing well.

¶ ¶

I need protein,

and I'm just trying to get to when we can use gill nets.

And that's my next big move.

I think it's fairly safe.

I don't think it was diseased. I think it was wormy.

¶ ¶

Fish have worms. Mushrooms have worms.

¶ ¶

This might be the only reason I get to day 45.

Willing to risk it.

¶ ¶

Mmm.

It is...

delicious. Oh, my God.

Your flesh will now become my flesh.

¶ ¶

Hoo-wee.

¶ ¶

Holy cow, it's cold.

Ugh.

That's a lot of fur for a zipper.

I never meant for this to have a zipper on the inside,

but that was what I had

when I had to finish this fairly quickly.

That's all right. We get there.

That is potentially the warmest thing

I have ever put on in my life.

All right. Let's go pick some rosehips.

Finally wearing my parka. Whoo!

¶ ¶

I've always wanted to make a parka.

And being on this show gave me the reason to do it.

¶ ¶

I haven't actually seen this on myself yet.

¶ ¶

Okay, so this is kind of

where a lot of the rosehips sort of start.

Oh.

My intake has been

a half a pound of roots and berries per day.

We got to move to the next patch.

That's 1,500 calories.

But that is not enough.

¶ ¶

My body is running out of reserves.

I have had two fish that I found on the beach.

That is the extent

of my animal protein intake out here.

¶ ¶

Gonna head back to camp.

¶ ¶

Without those high-calorie items

like fish, game,

this is just a slow descent into starvation.

And the wind is dying down.

¶ ¶

I think it has a lot of potential.
