12x09 - Okay, Boomer

[bunniefuu]

Do you want me
to come in there with you?

My bones really hurt.

Oh, my god.

Control your breathing.

You're okay.

You're gonna breathe through it.

I feel so bad.

There's nothing easy about this.

We got hail.

My heart's racing.

You don't fight,
you won't make it.

Why is it so hard?

What the hell?

This is terrifying.

Deep in the heart of texas

lies the ancient land

of lost springs.

This brutal landscape
of rugged granite hills

and prickly nopal cactus

was once inhabited
by native american tribes

who relied on the colorado river

to survive here.

The apache
and then the comanche,

they were here a long time ago

and they were able
to use this land,

so we can too.

Today, lost springs
has been reclaimed

by aggressive wild hogs

and 200-pound mountain lions

that will fight to the death
to protect their territory.

And hidden in the brush
are deadly rattlesnakes

and ground-dwelling tarantulas

whose bite can cause
excruciating pain.

It looks like a bone yard.

I'm most nervous
about rattlesnakes

because they can take you out
of this challenge instantly.

The survivalists
enter the challenge

after days of heavy rain

have left the terrain
muddy and wet.

Sudden torrential rainstorms
and 30-mile per hour winds

are common in lost springs,

bringing with them
flash floods and mud slides.

And in an instant,
the hypothermic temperatures

can give way to scorching
90-degree heat

that can make dehydration
a major threat.

This is gonna be
the most challenging

three weeks ever.

I'm a little bit nervous,

but more excited nervous
than nervous nervous.

I'm lincoln, I'm a designer,
and I'm from maine.

Some people might look at me
and not think

that I'm a survivalist
or adventurist,

but I've done
some pretty badass things.

I've run three marathons,
I've been skydiving.

I'm just game to anything

that can get my body
to its extreme.

I'm down.

I have gone to and been
a counselor

at an outdoor technology-free
summer camp

where I've honed
my survival skills

and plant identification.

These are wild nasturtium.

Shelter building.
And also fire building.

Fire there.

I don't have an empty gauge.

My meter is constantly full.

When I was 12,
I was involved in a car crash

and I got a traumatic
brain injury.

I needed to relearn
how to walk and talk.

Ever since then, I really gained

an appreciation for life.

Because I know that
tomorrow's not guaranteed,

but today is and I really
apply that to my life

and I try to live my life
to the fullest

I can possibly live in.

I really want to do this

because I'm only 23

and if I can do this,

then anything else
will be child's play

for the next hundred years
of my life.

I am excited

to tear my clothes off.

Lincoln brings an upbeat

and positive attitude,
but his youth

and carefree nature
puts him at risk

of potentially
reckless behavior.

His primitive survival rating
or psr

starts at 6.0.

Oh, my gosh. I am so excited.

So excited.

Doesn't look like
the friendliest environment.

It's very hot. A lot of cacti.

It's a lot to take in.

My name is emily.

I'm from cameron, missouri.

And I'm an archeologist
for the national park service.

Being an archeologist
has really gotten me

learning about the best ways
to survive in the outdoors.

So I think
it's really prepared me

for something like this.

I grew up camping.

I've lived out in the woods.

I love primitive survival skills

because what we call
primitive survival skills

are things
that cultures depended on

for decades and centuries
to survive in the past.

I'm confident in my skillset.

I grew up building

a lot of shelters
out in the woods.

So I know how to make
eight-frame shelters,

teepees, lean-tos.

I would say this could be
a little bit

of a rebellious phase.

It's kind of a, "hey, suck it,"

type of thing to people
who have said,

"oh, women weren't made
for the wilderness.

Women weren't made
for outdoor work,"

and that's not true.

There's more than just
bubbly attitude

to female archeologists.

We are serious.
We do know what we're doing.

And we have survival skills

based on the research
we've done our entire life.

Emily's experience
as an archeologist

has taught her primitive
skills and knowledge

of how to survive
in the wilderness.

But her academic approach
could clash

with lincoln's more
free-spirited style.

She starts with a psr of 6.4.

I'm as prepared as I can be.

I'm definitely scared,

but I think
that a little bit of fear

keeps you cautious
in a situation like this,

so that's all right.

This is it.

Let's go.

In anticipation
of meeting my partner,

I showered, put on lots
of deodorant, cologne,

I had breath mints.

There's so much
behind first impressions.

I might not be
the same on day 21

but right now, I smell great.

Here it goes.

Whoo!

Nature, you just got
a new best friend.

- Hello.
- Hi.

Oh my gosh.

- Lincoln.
- Emily.

- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.

- Is it weird?
- I mean, yeah.

- It is what it is, I guess.
- The breeze is nice.

I was gonna say... I know.

- Are you excited?
- I am juiced.

- This is gonna be...
- juiced.

- That's a good word.
- Yeah,

it's my favorite.

Tell me a fun fact about you.

I am an archeologist.

- Amazing.
- Fun fact about you.

I'm hoping to move
to new zealand.

It's the greatest country
on earth.

I've never been but I'm...

I'm sure it's great.

They have hobbits,
so I mean, we're set.

Lincoln is very excited.

I know at some point
I'll probably be like,

"oh my god," but also, like,

you need that to keep going.

Wanna go look
at our bags, see what we got?

Yeah, let's do it.

Lincoln and emily
have each brought

a personal survival item.

I have a fire starter.

I have my trusty knife.

- Oh, that's awesome.
- Yeah.

They've also been given a pot

to boil water as the extreme
changes in weather

can accelerate dehydration.

- A map.
- Oh.

Let's check it out.

- Okay.
- Where do you think we are?

I'm gonna guess

- maybe in here.
- Yup.

And we definitely
wanna be near water.

Yeah, oh, for sure.

We don't wanna run
into a wild hog.

We don't wanna do that
or mountain lions.

Or rattlesnakes.

Gosh, dangers everywhere.

I think we just got to head
downhill to the water.

- Let's start heading that way.
- Sounds great.

- Ready?
- Yeah, let's go.

All right, let's do it.

Watch out for those
little bitty cacti.

Immediately,
we are in this underbrush

with thorns and cactus
and just stuff everywhere.

Quite a few things
that wanna scratch you.

Pretty much everything out here,

cactus, all that kind of
wants to stab you.

There's a little bit
more pain walking

than I was expecting.

So definitely feeling that.

Oh, here's some... Okay.

Here's some good...

This maybe technically
an artifact.

See the dips where it is there?

- Yeah.
- They could be pot

litting which is from heat,

but this actually
looks like a scraper

that would have been used

for like scraping hides
or something.

- Perfect.
- So let's reuse that.

- Yeah. Awesome.
- That's perfect.

Emily's an archaeologist.

And as we were coming in,

she was picking up
all these stones

and telling me about them
and how we can use them

which is gonna be
really beneficial

to our long-term success.

And I think we're gonna make
a great team.

Oh, that's a lot of sun.

Yes, there is.

It's very hot.

It's gonna get hotter.

It's definitely
gonna be necessary

to find water and try not
to get heat exhaustion.

Oh, gosh.

A lot of scat going on.

That could be
a predator of some kind.

Hog, mountain lion, anything.

Yeah.

Looks like
it's opening up a little bit.

- Awesome.
- That's good.

Oh, there's a drop-off here.

That could mean water.

That is a good point.

Let's do it. You wanna go first?

Let's do it.

This feels kind of wet but...

Whoa!

Oh, my gosh.

It's slippery.

Oh my gosh.

Right where you pulled
yourself up

is that point on that rock.

Holy.

Very slippery.

Do you hear that?

Oh. Water.

Water.

We made it.

So we got to set up
for camp there.

- Where the shade is?
- Yeah.

There's a shade right there.

And it's... This ground is nice.

Oh, perfect.

There's a little path
to the river.

I like it.

One of us should work

on making a fire.

Who's gonna get water?

I'm going to get water.

We're really dehydrated

because we just hiked again

and we were sweating
like crazy that whole time.

Getting the fire going
to boil the water

is our top priority.

I'm gonna try to go
out here just a little bit.

Moving water has less bacteria

because it hasn't been
sitting stagnant.

Okay.

Hey, we got a little bit of fire

- going here.
- Nice job.

Come here, help me out.

I need some more stuff.

- Grass?
- Yup.

Keep on adding.

More straw.

Oh, a lot of smoke. That's good.

I'm crying from both joy
and from smoke.

- Nice.
- This is

pretty exciting.

Now, I know what the caveman
felt like.

- There you go.
- Thank you.

Okay. So you wanna do shelter?

Let's build a shelter.

Timber.

Emily's taking the lead
on the shelter.

We're gonna put a pole across
and lean sticks like that.

Our goal is to just
get something livable

by the end of the day.

Sturdy-ish. We'll get there.

- We're doing great.
- We definitely need

to waterproof it at some point.

- That's gonna be a priority.
- Yup.

- Okay.
- All right. This is it.

Welcome to the shelter
for the first time.

All right. Fire's burning out.

We finished our water.

It was tasty.

I'm kind of tired.
I hope I can sleep.

- Goodnight.
- Good night.

It's definitely big.

It was some kind of
mountain lion or something.

Get out of here.

Get.

Get out.

Get out.

Get. Get out.

What the hell?

It's right behind you.

- Get.
- Whoa.

Get.

Get out.

Get out.

All right.
We're standing out here

trying to build our fire up
a little bit

because something is losing

my mind out here.

Get. Get out.

Hopefully yelling
just heard it enough.

Last night, our first night

in the shelter,
there was no sleep to be had.

We were pretty scared.

And we definitely need to work

on a more steadfast shelter

so that no animals
will wanna come near us.

And to help keep the heat in

because it was pretty cold
as well.

Late morning,
sometime it started raining.

Not only do we not want
our fire to go out,

but we don't want
to be wet ourselves.

There's nothing worse
than being in the cold

in the rain with no fire.

I hope that doesn't
mean a storm is coming.

Rain's picking up.

So I need you
to start breaking off

leaving branches.

- That might...
- Got it.

- Right.
- ...Be beneficial.

We'll figure it out.

Emily and I worked really
well together as a team,

but not sure whether

I'm letting her boss me around.

Go chop that, go do this,
go do that,

seemed a little bit harsh
for me.

I wish lincoln
would contribute more

because you have to be able
to depend on the partner

to get stuff done.

So it was a little frustrating.

I'm weaving branches with leaves

into our shelter,

just trying to get as best
coverage as I can

for waterproofing
and then we're gonna come back

over the top of it
with cedar branches

because they're a really
good insulator.

This is looking amazing.

It's so cold.

It's just too much.

So we are freezing

and it's not even that late,

but we're here in
for a long night.

It's raining...
It's raining now.

I went out.

We're cold and wet

and we're just trying
to stay huddle up

as best we can and hope
that the sunrise

will bring some sort of respite.

Oh,.

So cold.

Oh,.

Last night was rough.

There were several downpours
and we're both cold

and, you know,
lincoln is just literally

convulsively shivering

and I think he's panicking.

You're okay.

Just breath,
control your breathing.

- Come, come against...
- Against you?

Yup.

Oh, my...

breath,
remember why you're here.

I'm so cold.

Try to relax your muscles

as much as you can
because your tensing up

and that what's causing
the cramps, okay?

- Okay.
- You're okay.

Breathe through it.

Breathe through it.

You're just gonna have to move.

Hey, bud.

Oh, my god.

You're okay.

It's scary.

I know it's really hard

when you're in
that state of mind

of I can't move.

I'm so cold.

I can't do anything.

So I understand
why he's struggling.

You do not wanna lose.

You got it, lincoln.

You got this.

This is the coldest
I've ever been.

I feel so bad.

Keep moving.

How are you feeling?

Better.

He's able to get
his breathing under control,

settled down.

He just really needed
to, kind of,

collect himself,
calm himself down.

I feel for him because
I was also shivering

and freezing, so I get it.

That was a pretty scary feeling.

I was panicking.

I couldn't stop shivering,

my bones felt frozen,

luckily enough emily
helped me stay calm and...

Because I didn't know
what to do.

I was just in a crazy panic.

You got this.

I have to put this behind me

and move forward.

Half of my bulletproof.

We should make a teepee

so we can keep the fire
inside of it.

We already have all
the materials so...

yeah, we just need
some wide logs for the top.

- Yeah.
- All right.

This is our third
shelter in three days.

This one it's gonna have
fire in the middle,

which is gonna keep us warm
and keep our fire dry

so we can keep the fire
going all the time.

We got to get it done today.

Yeah.

The structure will be insulated

by weaving cedar branches
around the frame,

a small opening at the top

will allow the smoke
from the fire to escape.

We need to hurry up.

We're getting there.

I'm feeling super,
super dehydrated.

I'm definitely concerned
about tonight.

If we don't have fire,
we can't boil water,

we can't warm our shelter up

if it continues to be cold
and rainy.

The only water
that I did have yesterday

was that quarter
half a cup of rainwater.

So it's been basically two days

since I had water.

I'm used to having
six liters a day.

Oh, my god, I'm so cold.

Yeah. We are not
gonna get a fire tonight.

Yeah. It is.

We really need a fire.

Ow.

Oh, it's wet.

My hair is dry.

We can light some of it.

All right. There's one
giant chunk of hair.

I appreciate your dedication,

you're insane.

No, I'm cold.

I can't feel my feet.
It's freezing.

Come on, why?

I don't know how we get
through this night.

Last night was brutal.

I cut my hair to start a fire.

It still didn't work.
So, that was disappointing.

I'm sure my hair
looks great right now.

I'm so thirsty.

How is it going in there?

Nope, the wood's too wet.

This won't light.

Let's put this out to dry
and go explore.

There is a huge fish.

Oh, it's probably carp.

It keeps coming up
out of the water.

I wish I could
just jump down there

- and grab him.
- There it is.

It's popped up
between the two rocks again.

It's just hanging out there.

We're gonna have
to figure something out

if we're catching him.

I'm so thirsty and so cold.

Emily, quiet.

It's big.

Do you see it?

Oh,.

There's three, four, five.

They're walking towards us,
you see them?

Oh, yeah..

There's so many.

Be careful.

Oh, they're going the other way.

What are you thinking?

I'm gonna try
to set a snare right here.

- Definitely make cordage.
- Yeah.

If we could find yucca.

Let's get back and make fire.

Great.

I really just wanna get
the fire started.

It's the biggest thing
right now.

I'm not feeling great,
need water.

I'm feeling super dehydrated,

like lightheaded, dizzy.

Go lie down.

It's too cold.

I'm just gonna tell you now
if we don't get fire,

I don't know
if I can stay tonight.

And I don't want dehydration

to be the thing
that takes me out.

That's not good.

What do you need?
What do you need?

A fire.

Fire? Okay.

- Yeah.
- Okay.

I'm gonna try to carve
some magnesium

- and start it up.
- Okay.

When I was struggling

emily helped me a lot.

She kept on reminding me
to remember

why I was here
and that it'll be okay.

So it is my duty to really
help get the fire going today

and get the water boiled.

I just have to keep
running this challenge.

Oh, oh.

Oh

- Do it again.
- Yup.

Let me get some water.
I'm not gonna assist you.

I'm so dizzy and lightheaded.

It's unreal.

What the heck.

- Oh, look at that.
- Yes.

When I saw the flame
I was so excited.

It's a pretty big deal.

I was super thankful
that he was able to do that.

I'm really glad that he got it.

Here you go.

I'm so thirsty.

That's gonna be the best water

that we've ever had.

First water in two days.

It's still super-hot,
but I don't care.

I was worried about emily today,

but I knew
that we would get it done.

I realized more and more
that supporting each other

in this challenge
is so important.

Oh, that's so nice.

We're in our shelter.

We have a fire.

Yeah, everything
about this is great.

Ready to actually sleep tonight.

I'm definitely
happy we have fire,

it kept us warm.

So I feel... I feel pretty good.

I definitely slept
at least a few hours.

But right now we need food.

I'm gonna go
out there with a spear.

I have it sharpened up
and I'm gonna try

to stab big fish
because we're starving.

- Do you fish a lot?
- I do not.

You got to be super slow,

you can't splash in the water.

- Yeah.
- Patience is key.

Awesome.

Fish everywhere here.

Did you see that?

You'll get there,
just be patient.

I'm really good at that.

Yeah.

Okay.

I'm gonna go look for yucca.

Yeah, lincoln is not patient.

He kind of wants to get
everything done right now

and that... And that's...

It's just not
gonna happen out here.

So I'm not necessarily
a patient person,

but I'd rather do it
right the first time

and take longer than do it bad.

The yucca is extremely awesome.

There's so many uses for it.

So many different things
you can do.

It would be a huge game
changer to have that.

Oh, there's a huge one up here.

This is good.

This is very good.

Yucca is really good
for creating cordage

so for fishing line
or fishing net

you can use the leaves
in their full form,

cut them down,
dry out the fibers,

and weave with it.

Okay.

- How's fishing?
- Nothing.

We have a yucca.

Wow.

You are the best ever.

I'm gonna make some cordage...

- Okay.
- ...To make a snare

and a fishing net for us.

I've studied a lot of tribes
who use this plant

for pretty much anything

that you would need a rope for.

Scrape it a little bit

and then you're left
with these fibers

that you can weave with.

It's not gonna be done
for a while.

I don't know that
it will be done today.

That's perfectly okay.

So this morning
I could really, really feel

my mind body needing food.

My entire body
just seems heavier

where I usually have energy
I don't.

I made a snare
out of yucca fibers.

I made them into cordage.

This is a hoop that's
connected up to a bent tree

and the tree is tied down
to two sticks

that are just resting
on each other

and when one is knocked
it will snap up

and the snare will pull tight.

Hopefully, next day or two
we can get a pig.

That's it.

My fingers hurt.

I'm currently making
a fishing net.

It's a y-shaped stick

and then you weave yucca fibers

or the cordage
that you make back and forth.

It's not a dip net.
It's a flat net

so that you can kind of
get something out of the water

and pin it
against a rock or something.

Fishing
when you disturb the water

the fish scare away.

So you have to wait a little bit

for them to come back.

It's definitely a waiting game.

I'm definitely
getting more patient

as I stay out here longer.

A huge fish.

Oh, got it.

Oh, it get away. Oh my god.

Definitely the closest

I've gotten ever getting a fish,

really frustrating,

but we're gonna keep on trying.

How's it going?

Fishing net is done.

That's gonna catch all the fish.

I'm very excited
things gonna work.

Thank you.

Ready for tomorrow.

All right. I'm headed down.

Best of luck today.

They're just impossible to see

if they go more than
a couple inches underwater.

We just got to wait
until they become used to you.

I can see a fish
from where am right now.

Ouch.

Oh, maybe I should just
full send myself

onto this fish.

It got away.

The rock is so hard
to get a tight seal on the net

because the rocks
are so jagged and spread out.

I don't think the net
is gonna be effective.

They can just slip between?

There's just too many ways

for him to get away.

- We learned, yeah.
- Yeah.

For sure.

So it's still there.

I'm just tired, I'm exhausted.

Hoping that something will
come through and snap it,

and we'll get some kind of
animal, raccoon, possum,

it doesn't really matter
at this point,

anything is food.

There's a tarantula.

I know they're edible.

I have to get something
to stab it with.

Along with their painful bite,

tarantulas have
venomous barbed hairs

that can cause intense swelling

that can last for weeks.

It's crawling under the wood.

It's stabbed on his body.

Great.

It looks gross but edible.

Lincoln,

there's a tarantula
that we can eat.

Really?

- Yes.
- That's so cool.

Stabbed the little head.

Amazing.

Oh.

I'm so excited.

How long do you think
you roast this thing for?

Oh, I guess
until the hair is gone.

I've never eaten a
tarantula before

so I'm actually really excited
to eat it.

Okay. Well, I think mine's done.

Well, the meat looks
a little roasted.

This is gonna have to be, like,

all at once type of thing.

- Yup.
- Cheers.

Yo, that is good.

It actually isn't that bad.

That one meal right there

is more than what we have

combined this whole time.

So it was really nice.

It's really good.

Probably there wasn't
very many calories

but it's great to have
a little something

to keep us going

until hopefully
we do get a bigger meal.

Are you ready? I'm gonna do
the spider dance

that's gonna attract
all the spiders.

That's gonna be hard to blur.

To keep a blur
in one spot for that.

I think lincoln
has more energy than I do.

I'm not totally sure how.

I'm sorry if there's
like 18 tarantulas now,

sorry, that's my fault
but I mean,

they can't really resist
that dance. So...

Okay.

Right now I'm just worried
about.

Every time I stand up,
I feel dizzy.

I'm really hoping
we can catch something

because I feel.

Hey, think
about all we've accomplished,

from day 2, we gained so much.

So much knowledge and skill.

You're such an optimist.

I'm such a realist.

Fish would be

a game changer for us right now.

I can see the little out there.

I just can't seem to catch it.

There's a deer antler.

Today in the rocks
I found a deer antler.

Antlers have been used
by native americans

as points for weapons for
a really, really long time,

definitely hoping
to sharpen it up some

and stab a fish much easier.

We could change
that spear's shape, you know,

make it a trident or something.

Yeah. Sharpen it

and use it
as a new fish stabber.

Instead of just giving up,

we're just gonna solve together.

Perfect.

We've got nice points,

if you wanna work on putting
them back on the spear.

Okay.

Emily sharpened the bones
and I tied it to the spear

so we had three prongs on it,
kind of a trident.

I'm gonna go fishing.

You got this man.

Stab all the way through
as hard as you can.

Will do.

I believe in him, he got this.

Like at this point,
it's either we get food

or I'm probably not gonna be
able to do extraction day.

I think we're both
getting a little down

and it's only gonna get worse
as time goes on.

Learned a lot about stealth

and being quiet, and silent,

get in my position,
all that stuff.

I'm just gonna try as hard

as I possibly can
to catch a fish.

I'm gonna go
until I can't go anymore.

Oh my god.

Okay.

There's a fish.

You have to check every rock

to make sure you're not
gonna jostle it

because of the noises, like,

at the bottom of the river,

the fish hear the most.

Oh.

Oh.

- Dance time.
- Oh, god.

So to wake up
my feet in the morning,

I had to do a dance sometimes.

Do you need a beat?

Yeah.

Oh, woo.

Nice dance move.

It needs a little work.

Well we'll see how
we're doing later in the day.

I think he's starting
to lose his mind.

Woo.

Oh.

A...

Fish.

I heard lincoln yell fish.

Got a fish.

Did you stab it?

Oh, stabbed it
and then it got away

so I jumped on the rocks,
grabbed.

I'm so proud of you.

Look at this thing.

That's a huge carp.

That's like a feast.

I'm so proud of myself.

I think getting food
is the huge part of survival.

It's so cool to be able
to provide for emily

and help us at least

make extraction somewhat easier.

Everything out here
is a group effort.

Figuring out how
to best make our weapons,

how to use them best.

I'm so proud of lincoln.

This is definitely a huge win

because he really, really wanted

to get a fish with that spear

because it is such
a difficult way of fishing

and so for him to catch
a fish like this,

I'm really happy
that it was him,

really stoked.

Oh my god,
that looks so amazing.

That's a good piece of meat.

Cheers.

This is so freaking delicious.

I'm so happy.

It taste really good.

This is a really big deal
because we now have

three full days
before extraction day

and having food like this,

that's a huge win.

I'm glad we have this now.

It melts in your mouth.

It's definitely a good day
to do nothing

but drink water.

So glad we both stayed
through this whole thing.

But let's think back
to like day three and four,

like, thinking like,

"how am I gonna
get through this?"

- yeah.
- Now we're here.

Yeah. We still have
to finish tomorrow.

- So...
- we can do it.

We don't wanna
count any checkouts.

No, I'm not, I'm...

I know extraction day
is really hard.

In the shelter
for our final night.

It's crazy.

Craziness.

I'm ready. I'm so ready.

We're both really ready.

Yeah.

We'll check it out.

Our extraction point,
probably the cliff there.

- I think we're camped somewhere around here.
- -right here, yeah.

And we're gonna need
to head up that ravine.

It looks like
it could be fairly far.

It's gonna be a long way

and it's gonna be
a really difficult incline,

right along the edge of a cliff

but I know that there's
no other option

aside from to get out
of here now.

All right. Are you ready?

Ready to go, let's do it.

Lincoln and emily
must decent five miles

through mountain lion territory,

to the top of a 350 foot cliff

overtaken by cactus
and dense brush.

The only way
to their extraction point

will be walking another mile

along the edge
of this sheer drought,

avoiding loose rocks,
and rattlesnakes

whose pit sensors can detect
warm-blooded mammals

up to three feet away.

There we go. Up, up, up.

Oh.

Damn, that's a lot of thorns.

All right.
Watch for snakes up here.

This is like snake city.

And it's like dens and stuff.

Yeah, oh, yeah.

Rattlesnakes are always
a possibility.

Oh, ow,

ow, ow,

oh, god that hurt.

Watch out for the rock shatter,

it's super sharp.

Oh, just... Ow, ooh.

Yeah, there's some thorns

on the ground throughout here.

Just everywhere.

Yeah, this sucks.

Oh my gosh.

This doesn't look fun.

We've got the inclined
part over with

- but this is worse.
- Yeah.

And we don't wanna
get too close,

we're only like six inches
from a death fall.

Don't step on this rock
right here.

Don't trust it.

- Are you okay?
- Ooh, jeez.

Good thing the tree was there.

Be careful.

Jeez, ow,.

My feet hurt so incredibly bad.

This is brutal.

Oh, my god. I'm feeling
the sun so much now.

This is the hardest part by far.

We're definitely getting there,

this pain's gonna...
All gonna pay off.

There's no way in hell

I'm gonna make it
through 21 days

and then not be able to get out.

You go until you can't
physically go anymore.

Oh.

- Vehicle.
- Vehicle.

Woo.

It just came out of nowhere.

Ready?

Yeah.

We're done.

Let's go.

Oh, my god.

Woo.

Yeah.

Woo.

Woo.

Right here. Right here.

Oh, yeah.

We just completed
naked and afraid.

Oh, my god.

Got our a*s kicked but hey,

it's not how many times
you fall down,

it's how many times you get up.

I came out here
to prove to myself

that I could survive for 21 days

and the mental toughness
that I gained

from recovering from my accident

definitely helped push me
through this

and if I can do this,
I can do anything.

This has without a doubt
changed my life

and I couldn't have done it
without emily helping me out.

I definitely think
lincoln has changed a lot.

Saw his goofy side
but he's really kind of

come full circle
as a survivalist.

I have proven that I'm capable
far more than I thought.

This challenge definitely
made me more confident

in myself and my abilities,

my skills, my motivation.

I hope I proved to the world
that I'm a badass.

We are certified badasses now.

Over the course of 21 days,

lincoln lost 37 pounds.

His psr goes from 6.0 to 6.7.

Emily lost 26 pounds,

her psr rises from 6.4 to 7.1.

I'm tired and I'm worn out

but I'm super freaking
excited that we made it,

like, after you finish
something like this,

no one can take that away.
It's so worth it.

Oh, my gosh. So worth it.

I'm very proud of both of us.

- Hell yeah.
- Oh.

Woo.

See you later, texas.
