[birds chirping]
Oh, pfft, man.
It's all fun and games
until it's real, right,
until you're on a truck getting
dropped off in the middle of nowhere.
Never been to somewhere
else that I'm not familiar with
and thrown into the
environment and just had to thrive.
[Kami] We just crested a hill.
It's breathtaking
down in the valley.
It's just like a
big open savanna
with all the birds and
the insects, the wildlife.
[narrator] Guyana,
one of the most remote
and sparsely populated
countries in the world,
shrouded in mystery.
Indigenous tribes practiced cannibalism
in the region well into the 20th century
and still practice
a form of voodoo
known as as*ault
sorcery to this day.
This nightmarish,
otherworldly landscape,
comprised of jagged
high savannas,
massive historic bromeliads
and dense virgin jungles
is known as the
Land of the Giants,
home to the largest
deadly black caiman,
constricting snakes
and spiders in the world,
along with the
hungry Kabowra fly.
Daytime temperatures that
swelter well into the triple digits
and an unrelenting rainy
season have been driving
this forest population to
madness for hundreds of years.
[Kami] Last night, I just
wanted to like to have it start
since I've been
waiting for so long.
And I think I am questioning all of my life's
decisions that has led up to this point.
I'm so anxious.
[Justin] Guyana's crazy.
They got things that can hurt
or k*ll me or eat me out here.
That's where I'm at.
Nervous as [bleep].
But let's go.
[Kami] This jungle
is just trying to k*ll me.
All right.
Well, this is where
it gets really real.
Guyana is next level.
[Kami sighs]
They were practicing cannibalism
up until the 20th century,
which is just insane.
People were eating people
out here not that long ago.
I am excited with a
hint of being terrified.
All right, let's rock and roll.
[Justin] Let's do
this. Let's get it.
I'm hoping my partner brings
strength that complement my strengths.
I'm too stubborn, and
sometimes it can work against me.
I would just really want a
partner that can just be truthful
on kind of pull me back.
This is insane.
I'm going to meet my
partner naked in the jungle.
At least I know I'm in this.
My partner is going through the exact
same thing at this exact same moment.
[Justin] Man. Oh!
I see my partner!
Fancy meeting you here.
[Justin] Yeah.
You come here often?
Oh, yeah, all the time.
I guess you're just
as stupid as I am.
- Yeah. What's up?
- Nice to meet you.
- What's up? I'm...
- Bring it in.
- I'm Justin.
- Aw.
It's so nice... nice to
meet you. I'm Kami.
- Kami.
- So, where are you from?
San Antonio, Texas.
- All right. Repping the southwest.
- You?
Albuquerque, New Mexico.
- Right on.
- [Kami speaking]
I teach jujitsu and I
fight full-time as well.
[Kami] All right.
[Justin] I'm a full-time
professional fighter.
I've been training for 14 years.
I've got 15 professional fights
and more so I served four
years in the Marine Corps.
First patrol I ever
did, I got blown up.
I was a Scout sn*per my
second half of my enlistment.
I rescue dogs.
I currently have five
dogs in my house.
Find them homes.
Definitely have a big heart.
But my biggest strength on this
challenge is going to be my tenacity.
I did not even have a bed
until I was 11 years old,
slept on floors,
bouncing home to home.
And I feel like that is
what's going to give me
the mentality to
push through this.
- [Justin] What about you?
- I'm a paramedic.
[Justin] Oh, nice. It's perfect.
- So I have the medical skills.
- Yeah.
So when I'm like, about to
die, you can save me, maybe.
Yeah, and I'll just
tell you to man up
- and put your big girl panties on.
- Okay, okay, I'll take it.
- All right.
- Best advice ever.
[Kami laughs]
I feel I've been a
survivalist my whole life.
I've been in the outdoors
ever since I can remember.
Growing up with my dad,
he grew up on the Navajo Nation.
He's taught me a lot
about tracking and hunting,
foraging, building, shelter.
So that has fueled my
passion to get out there.
Working as a paramedic,
I have to be very
blunt and forceful.
I need to tell people exactly what needs
to be done and when it needs to be done.
When I set my sights on
something, I go for it, 110%.
Should we get it started?
I mean, we don't...
you don't have a choice.
[Kami] I think I see
our bags over there.
- Shall we?
- Yeah.
- Let's go.
- All right.
[narrator] Justin and Kami have
each brought a personal item,
a machete and a mosquito net.
They've also been given a fire
starter and a pot to boil water.
- [Justin] So it looks like we are here.
- [Kami] Right.
[Justin] Uh, looks like the red
X is potentially our extraction.
- [Kami] All right.
- [Justin] So we have water to our east.
So let's head to some water.
You down to set up
shop close-ish to water?
Not too close because
of the mosquitos.
Yeah. And also I know
there's black caimans,
spectacled caimans,
things like that, so.
At least walking distance,
we can get our... our water.
- [Kami] Yeah.
- There's no quitting.
- Straight up.
- I'll hold you to that.
- [Justin] Let's get it.
- Okay, let's go.
[Kami] Oh, my God.
Have you ever k*lled
anything before?
[Justin] I've k*lled a
couple of fish, you know.
I've gone fishing
and k*lled fish.
- [Kami] I hunt.
- [Justin] Oh, hell yeah, dude.
[Kami] So I've k*lled my
fair share of small game,
birds, ducks, large game.
[Justin] Hell yeah.
[narrator] Kami has both
hunting and trapping skills,
as well as a background
as a first responder,
giving her a primitive
survival rating of 6.7.
[Justin] She knows how
to hunt, how to gut stuff.
I've never done
either of those things.
I went hunting one time
for rabbits when I was a kid,
and I purposely
shot above the ears.
[narrator] Justin served two tours as
a marine and has proven resilience,
but he lacks primitive
survival experience.
His primitive survival
rating is set at 6.2.
[Kami] Have a freezer
full of... of game meat.
[Justin] That's pretty awesome.
- [Kami] I don't eat fish.
- [Justin] No?
At all?
[Kami] I don't like fish.
But I mean, obviously, given
the dynamic, little... little different.
[Justin speaking]
- Oh!
- Sorry.
Not having the
best time back here.
The ground, full of
these, like, almost tiny,
like they look like
tiny little lava rocks.
And they stab you every
time you walk on them.
[Justin] Tell me if you
need me to slow down.
[Kami] Kind of navigate
my... [Justin] Yeah, I get it.
I feel like the
rocks are getting...
- [Justin] For sure, for sure.
- ...bigger.
Oh, my God.
It's so hot now.
Oh!
Ow!
Ow, ow, ow, ow.
[groans]
I mean, we gotta, we gotta push
ourselves as humans, you know?
See if we could do it.
[Kami blows raspberries]
[Justin] We've just got to
suck it the [bleep] up, both of us.
[Kami] Embrace the suck.
[Justin] Embrace the suck, man.
We got the [bleep], dude.
From looking at the vicinity,
I see some high ground,
and it is pretty green.
I'm hoping that in that little
valley that there's some water.
We'll see.
If not, we're still heading
in the right direction.
[Kami] Okay.
[Justin] Or we're not.
And then we both die.
[Kami laughs]
[Kami] I won't let that happen.
[Justin] Oh, yeah,
you're... you're a paramedic.
[Kami] Hmm.
Ow. Ooh.
Just got to get to the grass.
Grass is my friend.
[Justin] Hey, I'm gonna
push up a little bit.
I promise I won't leave you.
I just want to see if over
this hill there's some water.
[Kami] No, do you.
I also don't want to push
myself to a point where,
like, I can't go any farther.
So it's been a pretty
brutal insertion and trek in.
[bleep]
[Kami] Sweating, getting red.
[Justin] Embrace the suck.
[Kami] And my partner is
[bleep] blazing trails and I'm the...
the snail in this race.
[Justin] Waiting
on my... my partner.
This terrain sucks for sure.
I'm trying not
to think about it.
She's, uh... she's in pain.
I'm in pain.
I'm just trying to suck
it up, to be honest.
I definitely need to find
water before nightfall,
'cause it's [bleep] hot outside.
So I believe we are
still in the right direction.
It's a ways away.
You just got to
put it in our head
that we're not going to get
water for a couple of hours.
Good to go?
[Kami] Yep, just taking my time.
[Justin] But I think
we need to find water,
build the fire close-ish to
water so we can rehydrate.
And then the shelter, dude.
We find something at least
worst-case scenario, like hasty.
Yeah.
[Justin] You know,
worst case for the night.
And if we just power
through the night,
get eaten alive by bugs,
and we've got a mosquito net.
- Right?
- [Kami] Yes.
The explorers who
came to this country said
that the bugs drove them insane.
[Justin] Right.
[Kami] This is, this
is just next level.
Oh, God. I can't
wait to get to water.
[Justin] Definitely
getting a lot thicker.
[Kami] Gotta watch for snakes.
And now we have to think about
spiders and seen a lot more wasps.
Razor grass is
totally unforgiving.
[Justin] Oh, I
smell water, dude.
- There's water.
- [Kami] Okay.
[Justin] I don't
know drinkable it is.
Yeah. To be honest, I don't
want to be drinking this [bleep].
[Kami] It doesn't look too deep.
So if you're good, I'm good.
[Justin] Yeah.
I'll press it, dude.
Well, if I die, just delete
my Internet history.
[Kami] I know, the caiman,
I know they're in
here if we go in.
But not only that, we
have to worry about snakes
and anything else that's in this
water that we don't know about.
We have to be careful now
because it's extremely murky.
Can't see anything.
We know that this area has the
black caiman and it's dangerous.
[Kami sighs]
[Justin] Yeah, it's going to
get deep as [bleep] right there.
So just be prepared.
[Kami] Okay.
[Justin] You're gonna sink.
Just be prepared.
[Kami] Ooh, okay.
[Justin] You all right?
[Kami] No.
All right.
[Justin] Well, I have an option.
This is taller than both of us.
[Kami] I'm coming.
Way more sturdy. Look at that.
[Kami] Yeah.
There are ants on it, though.
[Justin] Regardless of
where we set up camp,
we're gonna get eaten.
Put a whole bunch
of sticks on both sides,
and then just get in some sort of
foliage and throwing it on both sides.
I mean, it's higher ground, too,
than there was down there.
- Oh, yeah, I'm eaten alive already.
- [Kami] Yeah.
- [Justin] There's gonna be some bugs.
- Yeah.
[Kami] If we have enough time, let's
hope we can get up off the ground tonight.
[Justin] I mean, we got a
mosquito net, worst-case, right?
- Yeah.
- [Justin] But for now, let's hydrate.
Yeah.
[Justin] We're
building our shelter.
In all honesty, we think
it might get dark soon.
Worst-case scenario,
we sleep under the stars,
but with a mosquito net.
Get our fire going.
[Kami] I like just
really want to, like,
sit down or like, lay down.
[Justin] Let's wait
till we get hydrated.
I promise we'll feel
way better, dude.
[Kami breathing heavily]
Well, my partner is...
I know she's hurting.
I'm hurting. But she,
she's not giving up.
She's still pressing forward.
[Kami] Right behind you
with a big-esque stick.
[Justin] Ooh. Hell yeah.
We actually need to collect
wood because at night...
Yeah.
...we are not going to able
to see. I hope it doesn't rain.
If it does, we've just got
another problem to sort through.
But we're probably not
gonna sleep much tonight.
How do you feel?
[Kami] Struggling.
I'm trying to,
I'm trying to help.
I'm just... I feel like
I'm kind of stuck.
[Justin] No, dude.
Because you got fire
and got the water and...
- [Justin] We're on day one, right?
- [Kami] Yeah.
[Justin] We're gonna
get eaten 100%.
We're probably not gonna
sleep. We're gonna wake up.
We're gonna be
miserable. Wah, wah, wah.
This is our survival, dude.
[Kami] I know.
I'm just feeling a little
worthless right now.
Completely gassed.
Um, my... my partner's
amazing and got fire,
and he went and
got the water and...
I'm just having a
really hard time.
I feel like I'm just,
like, legit, like...
hitting a wall.
This is going to be
a b*tch and a half.
[birds chirping]
[Justin speaking]
[Justin speaking]
[Kami speaking]
[Justin burps]
[Kami speaking] God...
My body was just like in
utter shock from our trek,
the heat, 'cause we're
dehydrated and thirsty,
and it's just really
[bleep], and it sucks.
[Justin speaking]
[Kami speaking]
It's been a fun first night.
We've heard tons of stuff in
the water, splashing around.
Not like little splashes,
like big splashes.
Welcome to the suck.
I'm sunburned, I'm
eaten alive by bugs.
I'm naked.
[Kami coughing]
I am... I'm just
not comfortable.
For sure, this sucks.
[Kami] God damn it.
[bleep] bugs, man.
[Justin] What's up, world?
Day two, no food, limited water.
Thirty minutes of sleep.
I'm exhausted.
Kami is exhausted.
Not having a
solid shelter sucks.
Especially after that
arduous trek in yesterday,
I was definitely having
some moments of defeat.
I'd be lying if I said I
wasn't suffering and...
and crying like a little baby.
We need to make sure we
have a huge stockpile of wood.
[Justin] Yep.
And definitely, I think
plan for today is I know
you really wanted to
work on shelter building.
[Justin] I'm with it.
We have to build a shelter
to not repeat yesterday.
We woke up cold.
It was, it was terrible.
We can do just one thing a
day to make our lives better.
All right, let's get it done.
[Justin] So we're
building up a shelter.
Let's go. Let's get it.
She's chopping some wood.
I'm gonna help her out
in a bit. We're taking turns.
[Kami] We literally bring these.
At least we can get a
solid A-frame going on.
And then we'll
bring in our bug net.
[Justin] And then we're
gonna throw some foliage.
- Nice green leaves on top.
- [Kami] Right.
Getting as much done today
as we possibly can on no calories
and lovely pond water.
Twenty days and counting.
[Justin] Twenty
days and counting.
The worst is yet to
come, my friends.
[Kami] Or that was the worst.
[Justin] That was the worst.
And the best is yet to come.
First night was definitely bad.
We were both really
uncomfortable last night.
I got all these bug bites.
You can see my back,
But it's just like I know I can do it
and I want to be able to pull my weight.
So I'm trying to be better today
about having a
positive attitude.
[Justin] I'm about to go
get some water and boil it.
Kami's busting her a*s, so
I need to bust mine, right?
I feed off that kind of stuff.
Yesterday she was like,
"Dude, I'm having a moment."
And I was like, "Hey, we
got this. Just make it tonight."
And then today
she's like, k*lling it.
So it's like we're
carrying each other.
I'm gonna ask her to drink
more because she's working.
We did lose a lot
of water yesterday.
[Kami] Oh! Hey, Justin.
- [Justin] Yep.
- [Kami] Is this a caiman right here?
[Justin] [bleep]
That's a caiman.
What the [bleep].
Oh, man. [bleep]
[Kami] Oh, my God.
[birds chirping]
[Justin] I mean, that thing
probably won't k*ll me,
but it's an indicator
that there's more.
Enough to be able to,
like, take a foot or a finger.
[Justin] And why would it do it?
[Kami] Because
we're in his home.
[Justin] Bro, I'm trying
to fetch some water.
That's why you always have
to be very cautious and always,
like, looking out for stuff.
He's probably
maybe like three feet.
He also wants to
eat my face, so.
[Justin] Like right there.
Look, that's where I
get my water source.
Right there.
There's like a
three-foot caiman,
and it's just chilling
looking at us.
And then it goes under
the water and disappears.
I'm like, "Dude." I don't just
grab my water from there.
I go in up until about
my waist, and then I get...
I move everything
and then I get water.
So that definitely
changes things.
Now you realize how
close they are to shore.
Um, definitely something
to take into consideration.
Yeah.
[Justin] Is the risk
worth the reward?
Time to strategize,
find some food.
How do we do it when
there's caiman right there?
Let's see what happens.
[Kami] I just want to lay down.
I'm so tired.
[Justin] Why don't you
take a break, dude?
You've been working all morning.
[Kami] Yeah, that's true.
You're damned if you do.
You're damned if you don't.
[bird squawking]
[Justin] Oh, what is that?
Oh, [bleep].
[exhales sharply]
[birds chirping]
[Kami] I think we might
have to tend to our said fire.
[Justin] All right, I got it.
[Kami] I want to be
able to deal with the fire,
deal with the sleeping situation
so that way I can
be more productive.
[Justin] I think it might rain.
[Kami] Hey, if it rains,
it's all about
keeping that fire alive.
[Justin] Yeah.
Rainy season is going to hit,
and we need shelter
because Guyana,
Its meaning is land
of many waters.
And they don't say
that for no reason.
So it's going to,
it's going to pour.
We're just getting prepared.
So we made the decision to
make a shelter for our fire first.
[Kami] The main
priority is shelter.
We can use some other
foliage and put it on top.
Without a place to be dry,
we are going to be
absolutely miserable.
[Justin] Yo, I
think we have, like,
Minutes until it rains,
and there comes the rain.
[bleep]
[Kami] I'm still just trying
to finish covering the shelter
with whatever else we had here.
And then if there's
any gaps or whatever,
we can always like
lash it or whatever.
And that's super quick and easy.
[Justin] Man, Kami,
she's the artist.
She has the better picture or
better image of what she wants,
and I just help out.
All right. Bamboo.
Yeah, I would say get three more
that are as tall as the house
and then just figure out.
How wide the base is and then
just cut the [bleep] one of those.
We're trying really
hard to get it built.
Thank you.
Without our fire and
without a place to be dry,
we are going to be
absolutely miserable.
[thunderclap]
[Kami] It is officially
downpouring.
Justin's out in the rain
right now, as you can see.
It just turned on.
The skies are gray,
which is not a good sign.
Hopefully it stops.
[Justin] Yeah, it's
gonna get wet, dude.
We're gonna get
really wet, baby.
[Kami speaking]
[Kami speaking]
[Justin speaking]
[Justin] We're in a shelter,
it's doing okay-ish so far.
Some rain is getting
through, so we're getting wet.
Don't know how long
it's gonna rain for.
It is a pretty serious rain.
[Kami] We boiled some water
and we're both freezing cold.
So by taking the top and
putting it next to our chest,
we can get some sort of
heat to warm up a little bit.
- [Justin] And our core.
- [Kami] Yep.
[Justin] 'Cause, you
know, you're a paramedic.
So, smart as [bleep].
We've got to be here for each
other to keep us, keep us alive.
[Kami] Hopefully the
rain stops, but if not,
this is our life.
[Justin] Our camp
rained out, fire's dead.
I'm gonna get
that fire restarted.
The sun's coming up.
The shelter broke down a little.
It was wet.
We only have half
a bowl of water,
and it's like rain-ish water.
Pretty dirty.
So I'd love to get this fire started so
we can get a good boil on, hydrate.
That's the next problem to solve
is a bunch of wet wood around.
How do we get a fire
going and boil our water?
[Kami] Oh!
It's not going to be that easy.
It's funny, right? I'm
actually hoping that I'm like,
"Oh," and something burns me.
It's not.
It's just a warm mud.
Oh, it's starting
to burn my hand.
[Kami] I'm glad Justin's in
good spirits today 'cause...
Last night was really rough.
Yesterday we just
took a very tiny glimpse
of what we're in store for
with the rainy season starting.
Without a fire, it's hard because
we're trying to keep our firewood dry.
We're trying to dry it out.
I would love for the
jungle to cooperate
and just give us like two or
three days to get caught up,
get our shelter finalized.
But because we
had rain last night,
finishing a shelter
did not work out.
I know it can always
be worse, right?
[thunder rumbling]
Ow!
Oh, shizer.
Frickin' thorns.
Ha!
[Kami panting]
[Kami] [bleep]
[thunder rumbling]
[Justin] So we're on day six.
Heavy, heavy rain.
We had plans this morning,
but Mother Nature
had a different plan.
She said, "I want
to teach you stuff."
[Kami] I had to reinforce
a little bit in our shelter
because we're
getting dripped on.
So I just took a bunch
of the wet leaves
that were outside and put
them on top, so it's a little better.
We had to make like
a little moat type thing.
[Justin] Worst case
scenario, we just sit here,
we burn less calories,
we conserve until
the storm passes.
And that's where we're at.
It could be worse.
You know, it could
be better for sure.
I'm like dehydrated.
[Kami] I'm so thirsty,
like I'm parched.
I just need some water.
[thunder rumbling]
[Justin] At some point,
we are going to have
to venture off for food.
[Kami] Hmm.
[Justin] I mean,
we got a fish net.
We know where the fish hang out.
The fish are [bleep]
jumping up there.
[Kami] I haven't had any,
like, massive cravings,
But I also have a lot
of extra fat to deplete.
[Justin] It's one
meal. It'll recharge us.
[Kami] Mmm-hmm.
[Justin] We've
eaten zero calories.
We don't have a ton of energy,
but it's just going to get worse until
we find food and we will find food.
But it is frustrating.
Can't cook any
fish without a fire.
[Kami] I know Justin's
really stoked on food,
but at the same time,
like a lack of sleep is more of a
detriment to me than it is for food.
We need to get off this ground.
[Justin] So here's the deal.
- I know you want to get off the ground.
- [Kami] Yeah.
So it's done-done
raining for like 99%.
So everything is soaked.
So finding dry wood
is going to be an issue.
With that said, we don't
have enough rainwater
to keep us going
through the day.
I think all of our energy
should be on fire, dude.
- [Kami] Instead of getting off the ground?
- Yes.
Because we made it last night.
Not on the ground.
We won't make it
a day without fire,
because that's without water.
Whatever you want to do.
And we have this much water.
[Kami] Yep.
Today's lesson, prep
for heavy rain, right?
Not just rain.
Heavy, heavy rain.
Problem is, we
have no dry firewood.
So I'm drying out
little shavings at a time.
Fire is important
because we need water.
So now I must find a solution.
I don't have a ton of energy,
but it's just going to get
worse until we find food.
Zero... zero calories, right?
But it is frustrating.
Can't cook any
fish without a fire.
Yeah, I'm getting sparks.
Nothing's catching, dude.
[Kami] Use the dried leaves.
Lot of dried leaves.
[Kami] What can I do?
Let's just gather bamboos and
we need to collect anything dry.
[Kami] Right.
I'm between fire and shelter.
I would feel more comfortable
if I was able to finish the shelter.
But I know Justin is very
much focused on fire and water.
Trying to be a good partner.
Justin says it and I'll go do it
because he is kicking
a*s and taking names.
Give me twigs now, now.
Now. Hurry up. Hurry up.
[Kami] The grass.
Let me go run out and
get stuff that's been dried.
Please give us
one day without rain.
Just one, please. You
probably won't, but that's cool.
I still love you.
Thank you for everything.
Thank you for the fire,
for the fish we're about to eat.
Fire, fish, food.
Fire, fish, food.
I'm just thinking about
the water I get to drink.
I'm so relieved.
We're excited for sure.
[Justin] After we
get a solid fire going,
shelter over the fire.
[Kami] You really rocked it out.
I'm really lucky to
have you as a partner.
[Justin] Me too, dude.
You pushed.
[Kami] I tried.
I'm so relieved.
Boiling water and
actually getting some...
some water in our system.
I was, like, really contemplating
drinking the pond water.
And we still have to
keep maintaining this fire.
[Justin] Let's k*ll this.
I'm gonna get more.
There's thunder.
The rain's coming.
We've got to keep
the fire live real quick.
There she comes.
[Justin] Ugh!
Son of a b*tch!
[Justin] The rain's coming.
We've got to keep
the fire alive real quick.
Son of a b*tch!
We need to get this
fire covered... now.
That's it. That's my party.
[Kami] Inch by inch.
Brick by brick.
[Justin] It's
raining super hard.
So we threw up all
this foliage over our fire.
So they [bleep].
You know what I'm saying?
It stopped raining and
hopefully we're good.
Hopefully we keep
this fire going tonight.
[thunder rumbling]
[birds chirping]
[Kami] All right. Good morning.
We were able to keep our fire,
but this water situation
is getting serious.
Right there is where we would
usually get our water and it was dry.
And as you can see,
this is where the
water has gone to.
[Justin] The pond is rising
into that savanna, like fast.
[Kami] I showed them.
[Justin] Real fast. So with that
said... Point it to my face, please.
Yeah.
It's going to rain again.
[Justin] Yo, I'm going
to get a piece of bamboo
and I'm going to start measuring
how... how much
that water is rising.
Okay. It's a good idea.
Dude, if it rises too much,
we're going to have to bail.
[Kami] Well, yeah,
it is a possibility.
I mean, look at how
much the water has risen.
- [Justin] Yeah.
- [Kami] I know for sure.
I was thinking like, "Oh, this is where
we're going to be for the next 21 days."
No thought in my mind was like
"We might actually have to move."
But now, Justin and I are
worried about the water rising.
So, we put a marker
down by the water to see
if it recedes or if it rises.
If it continues to rise,
then we definitely have to
rethink our living situation,
Where we're at.
[Justin] All morning long,
I just heard a bunch
of fish right here.
So, I'm going to walk up, I'm going
to check it out, and try and spear one.
[Kami] Justin
went off to go fish.
I'm still lagging in
terms of like energy,
being out here with no food.
So, today, my plan is hang back
a little bit and kind of take it easy.
So just like kind of
be the camp wench.
So water, water,
water and fish today,
maybe I'll actually
get some protein,
Even though I don't like fish.
[chuckles]
[Justin] This fish right there on the
lily pad jumped in there and got caught.
Uh, I'm an opportunist.
So that's... that's
a way to get fish.
It's still good. It's
still very edible.
Risk versus reward.
I mean, I need to eat.
No, no, no.
Don't you dare.
No.
No!
Son of a b*tch.
[Justin sighs]
Jeez, dude.
Damn it, dude.
[birds chirping]
I'm gonna catch
some freakin' fish, man.
We haven't had a bite of food.
There's a freaking crab.
[Justin speaking]
Yeah, buddy.
I got a crab.
Where is he?
Oh, okay.
He's a little guy.
[Justin] All right.
Are you boiling him?
[Kami] Yeah. But, yeah,
not a big seafood person.
I've never had crab.
I don't eat seafood.
I caught a crab,
which is big for me.
Definitely hopeful that my
partner appreciates the crab
because I'm doing
my best out here.
[Kami] Hey, you want
to grab your little crabby?
[Justin] How, how boiling is...
[Kami] It's... it's
boiling like it's good.
[Justin] All right,
let's eat, dude.
[Kami] Have you had crab before?
- [Justin] Yeah.
- [Kami] Okay.
[Justin] I'm assuming that's like
the heart and probably an organ.
Eat the legs first.
It's not much, but it's
actually pretty good.
It's not much, but it's like that I
just broke down that mental barrier.
Dude, it is possible.
It's tiny, but it's possible.
So, let's get some more.
[Kami] Day 11.
Just feel like pretty
much dog [bleep] all day.
Really hard for me
to get motivated.
Zero energy, limited water.
Not a good night's sleep.
Like all the things your body
needs in order to survive,
it's beyond hard.
[Justin] The water is
rising pretty steadily.
It's gone up three feet
in the last 24 hours-ish.
So if it starts decreasing,
hopefully it does.
If it doesn't, Kami and
myself are just going to trek out
and we can find the highest
ground possible. I'm gonna go try
and catch these fish
with a net and two sticks.
Yeah, buddy!
Thank you for the food, bro.
I caught one crab.
That's all we ate.
Today, I caught two
freaking fish using a net.
That's some primal
stuff right there.
Take their heads off.
I'm sitting here
manning the fire,
which is my job this morning.
My jungle husband
came back with a fish.
Fish for breakfast.
I'm so excited because everybody
knows how much I love fish.
No, it's a, it's a big thing.
Um, some protein will
definitely do us good.
[Justin] I'll throw
these in my pot.
It's not much,
going to boil them.
- Uh...
- [Justin speaking]
[Kami] Having our
own little fish fry.
Yeah.
[Justin] Yeah, dog.
First we ate one crab.
Now, today, it's one fish each.
Here you go.
[Kami] Cheers.
[Justin] I thought
you don't eat fish.
[Kami] I don't.
[Justin] Got fish, and got
a little mini replenishment,
but I feel a bit
frustrated in the sense
that in Kami's mind it's
I bring home the bread
while she just eats and gets by.
All right, so, I think
this really helps us.
Small fish, but we
get some calories in us
and we do have to end up moving.
Well, at least not be
completely drained.
Hopefully, she wakes up
tomorrow and she's motivated again.
But you need to have the
mental fortitude to press forward.
Uh, I... I'm trying to rise up and I would
really appreciate someone on the same level.
[birds chirping]
[Justin] What are you doing?
[Kami] I just feel really lazy.
- [Justin] Why is that?
- [Kami] I don't know.
My body is just tired.
Last night was okay for sleep.
I feel like we can do better.
Kami just wants to
survive and I want to thrive.
Say the same for food.
[Kami] But I really
need sleep, though.
Like at home, four or
five hours, I'm good.
Obviously, out here,
it's a little different.
[Justin] We need more food, dog.
I'm just worried about
the team, the team.
I'm doing more for
you, for you, for you.
But you're not contributing
and it's not reciprocated...
[Kami sighs]
[Justin] So, we got to
start make some traps,
both of us, so we
can eat double.
- You know what I'm saying?
- [Kami] Yep.
I'm going to work on cordage
'cause we need it
regardless for a ton of stuff.
[Justin] I'm just saying I think
we need more food, dude.
We've eaten bites
and we're doing better.
But I'm the one doing it.
Like, if I wasn't here,
what would you do for food?
[Kami] Probably fish.
[Justin] Well...
there's a start.
[Kami] I'm just really tired.
[Justin] So am I. You
know what I mean?
I keep catching stuff every day,
- and I'm more than happy to share with you.
- [Kami] Right.
[Justin] And I would just
appreciate if you at least attempted it.
I'm just saying we need
more food. I'm not being a d*ck.
I'm just saying
it'd be a lot better
if we had double the food
and double the calories.
We would have more energy.
It's so soupy out here.
The ground here is really rough.
This place is definitely taking
a toll on both Justin and I.
I feel like I'm
contributing 100%.
But I think the friction that
Justin and I are feeling right now
is Justin is way more
fixated on the food aspect.
Justin has been a great partner.
I need him to survive out here.
I even see plum.
There's a nice little
cluster up there.
It's way too high.
There's one on the ground.
Notice that there
are some plums.
They're really sweet
and juicy and kind of tart,
And there's nice little cluster
up there, but it's so high.
- [Kami] Justin?
- [Justin] Yeah.
[Kami] Found some wild plums.
We can split 'em.
[Justin] Hell yeah.
Where they at?
I definitely think of
the team before myself.
I feel like that comes
from the Marine Corps.
[Kami] There you go.
[Justin] It's freaking
hard for sure.
It's hard to get food. I
mean, every little bit helps,
but in terms of capability,
Kami is capable. I'm capable.
[Kami] Good?
[Justin] So, whether there's
different things in the dynamic or not...
[Kami] Don't they kind
of remind you of plums?
[Justin] We're
both still checked in.
We're both still saying
we're making it to 21.
[Justin] They're good, sour...
[Kami] Nice little
pick me up for sure.
[Justin] Hey.
- [Kami] What?
- [Justin] I said, thank you.
[Kami] Oh, you're welcome.
[Justin] I'm sorry for
being the way I was.
- That's my stubbornness.
- It's okay.
I'm a big girl.
Sometimes, I need
to be put in check.
[thunder rumbling]
[Kami] It's raining right now,
and so I am, um,
already shivering.
That's what happens when
you're laying on the ground
and you have no clothes.
[Kami speaking]
[thunder rumbling]
[Justin speaking]
[Kami speaking]
[Kami] It's another
torrential downpour.
So, pretty sure the
water is rising again.
This is just coming
in from all directions.
[sighs heavily]
[Kami] Oh, boy.
- Justin?
- [Justin] Yeah.
[Kami] The water
definitely rose again.
[Justin] Oh, yeah. It's
literally one day that's crazy.
[Kami] Yeah.
[bees buzzing]
[Kami] We're definitely
getting flooded out.
[Justin] 100%, we
have to get out of here.
Yeah, we got to go, dude.
[Kami] I concur.
[Justin] These rains
are, it's so unpredictable.
Honestly, we're in the
highest ground possible.
We are absolutely choked out,
we're just on this one spot.
There's zero survival, you know,
if we stick around and
so we made a decision.
We're out. Get a new spot,
re-establish and-and
push forward.
- Let's put this out.
- [Kami] It's been a good camp.
[Justin] It's been real.
Real [bleep].
Do you have the map?
[Kami] Yep.
Obviously, we want to
try and move towards the X
because that's at least
closer to extraction.
[narrator] In hopes of reaching
higher ground outside of the flood zone,
Justin and Kami must perverse
several treacherous miles
of swollen tributaries
teeming with black caiman,
deadly coral snakes,
and bloodthirsty piranha.
[Justin] All right, we're
looking for a canopy.
- [Kami] Yep.
- [Justin] Right.
- [Kami] Water.
- [Justin] Water.
- [Kami] Firewood.
- Firewood.
- [Kami] Let's do it.
- Good to go?
[Kami] So, we're
taking our bamboo sticks
or are we taking
just the A-frame?
You have to remember, we have
to think about how heavy stuff is.
[Justin] The A-frame,
we definitely need.
Hopefully, it folds. We
want to take our A-frame.
At least one of them.
That way we avoid
all that labor and time.
And, you know, we set it shut.
We get it to where
we need to be.
We prop it open,
the shelter is set.
[leaves rustling]
[Kami] We're laying it down or we're
just going to walk now that we have it up.
[Justin] I think
we'll start walking.
[Justin groans]
[Kami] Hold on, I...
I have like a really
awkward grip.
Hold on. Hold on.
You're hitting a tree.
[Kami groans]
[Kami] We are in the process
of trying to take our A-frame,
and it's large, it's
cumbersome, it's awkward.
So, this is really a lot harder
than I thought it was going to be.
- [Justin] Yeah, same.
- [Kami] I think we just...
- [Justin] Strip all the foliage.
- ...salvage our sticks,
take our A-frame
and call it good.
There's no way
we can carry this.
[Justin] Okay. Get it set.
Just kind of prop it back
up as much as we can.
Lift, lift, lift.
[Kami] Uh... [bleep]
it's stuck on a vine.
[Kami] So, Justin and
I came into conclusion
we literally just have
to break it all down
and carry literally
sticks with us,
plus all the essentials,
our mosquito net,
our pot, our fire
starters, our bags.
And we have to
cross this little pond,
but it's still super dangerous
because of the possibility of caiman.
[Kami] I can't believe
how much it has flooded.
[Justin] Yeah.
[Kami] We're really
taking a gamble,
packing everything up.
Going out blind and
looking for a new spot.
Suns out. It's hot.
There's hardly any
shade out there.
We can't rush.
We don't want to draw attention to
ourselves, especially with the caiman.
And then, we haven't had
anything sufficient to eat.
That in itself is dangerous.
[Justin] We're gonna exit here,
right here through the water.
We're going to press
out through the savanna.
We're going to hook it
all the way to the right
and we're going to
just find somewhere dry.
[Kami sighs]
[Justin] I know Kami
is hurting a little bit,
but both making it day 21,
unless there's a medical call.
Caiman is definitely a threat.
They could very well
hide in these waters
and snatch a tendon or an
ankle or something, right?
So, just gotta be careful.
[bees buzzing]
[Kami] Oh, my God.
Justin, this is
absolutely insane.
[birds chirping]
[Kami] Oh, my God.
Justin, this is
absolutely insane.
[Justin] It's a bit high here.
[narrator] Forced
from their shelter,
Kami and Justin are heading
east across the flooded savanna,
hoping to find higher ground and
the promise of better food sources.
[Kami] Now, this
water is next level.
[Justin] Watch, it gets
really slippery right here.
[Kami] Wow, I can feel
the difference in the water.
[Justin] Yeah.
This is crazy, dude.
[Kami] It feels like
it goes on forever.
[Justin] Yeah. All this
landscape, man, it's drifted.
It's drifted.
It's changed dramatically
from the morning somehow.
It's so chaotic. You
don't know what to expect.
There's definitely
danger in this area.
Yeah, it's [bleep] crazy.
[Kami] Six days.
All I'm thinking about.
I'm hoping with a
change of scenery,
once we get settled,
it'll kind of breathe a little
bit of life back into Justin and I
and give us the energy we need
to push forward with extraction.
[Justin] There's
some game trails.
Game trails lead to water.
You know what I'm saying?
It's where they come... go
to their watering hole, so.
- [Kami] Let's hope you're right.
- [Justin] All right.
I'm going to push forward.
Good?
[Kami] Yeah.
Just taking it easy.
I don't want to
step on anything.
[Justin] I see some
high ground over here.
[Kami] Are you thinking,
like, back in there?
[Justin] Yeah,
a little bit more.
It's less likely to flood.
Tons of dry stuff we can burn.
[Kami] Do you see water at all?
[Justin] Uh, yes.
I don't know how deep
this is, but it's a start.
[Kami] Okay.
[Justin] I don't know
about the caiman threat.
I don't know if there's
any fish out here.
We'll scout that in a
bit. But we got water.
We're going to have
shelter overhead.
I think we could
set up shop here.
I think it's better
than our last location.
This area looks
good to set up camp.
The water looks potable.
There's a plethora of firewood
that's already on the ground,
so this looks like a good place.
[bird cooing]
[monkey screeching]
[Kami] I need some air.
I'm just like really hot.
[Justin] You need some what?
[Kami] Like, need to get
to where the breeze is.
[Justin] Okay.
Take a breath.
[Kami inhaling]
Sit on the bamboo.
[Kami inhaling]
[Kami] Yeah.
[exhales heavily]
[Justin] Take a breath.
I just don't feel quite normal.
Deep breath in.
Hold it.
Exhale.
I do that and I
get all lightheaded.
[Justin] We got seven days, man.
We're gonna have to dig.
You got this.
Seven days till victory.
Seven days till glory.
Deep breath.
[Kami] My heart's racing
and I, like, keep sweating.
Sucks.
[Justin] Kami's
struggling. And I get it.
We're both freaking tired, man.
It could also be
the lack of calories,
lack of sleep, you know, the
lack of everything out here.
Feeling like a burden.
You're not a burden...
you're still...
you're still here.
This jungle is just
trying to k*ll me, that's all.
It sucks that you're feeling this
way and I'm sorry that you are.
And I acknowledge that you are.
Right?
I don't have like some crazy
pep talk to, like, say stuff
to get you all motivated and stuff,
but you just have to acknowledge
that you're a human being and that
I promise you can push through this.
[Kami] And I don't like
letting my partner down.
In my profession, being a
paramedic, when you have a partner,
your partner
watches out for you.
You can count on them
Yo, slow work is still work
for both of us, all right?
We make it another two days,
and we're freaking
home free, man.
- [Kami] I know.
- So close.
- All right, you ready?
- Mmm-hmm.
[Justin] Mother
Nature is testing us.
Yeah.
[Justin] Got fire started.
About to boil some water.
It's gonna be a long
probably miserable first night.
Let's hope it doesn't rain.
Now I just need to
get our A frame up.
[Kami] Definitely think not
eating as much, the lack of sleep,
and having to make that trek
has definitely taking its toll.
So I'm just trying to just push
through all that, have a better mindset.
And just do my best
to be a better partner.
How you feeling?
[Justin] I'm good.
I'm a little tired.
Hell yeah.
I love seeing you
like getting after it.
[Kami] Justin's been really
great about motivating me
and keeping my eye on my prize.
Either come home with a cast
or you get your badge of honor.
Yeah.
You're good, man.
Kami's busting
her a*s over there.
We're still working
well together.
Hopefully, she's
motivated again.
[Kami] Brick by brick.
[Justin] That's how
you build a house.
We're both still checked
in. We're both still the same.
We're making it to 21.
Look at you now.
Tomorrow is a new day.
Tomorrow is going
to be a better day.
[thunder rumbling]
[Kami speaking]
[Justin speaking]
[Kami speaking]
[Justin speaking]
[Justin] it's raining.
It's getting wet
on us a little bit.
We got our fire right
there, some leaves over it.
Hopefully that's enough.
[Kami] I'm over the bugs.
I'm over this move.
It's like a repeat of
week one all over again.
[Justin] Just got to
weather the storm.
It's all a mental game.
Tonight's gonna get
cold. We're gonna shiver.
We're gonna be like,
"Why are we here?"
Whatever, man. It is what it is.
I think it was a good move.
Just gotta power
through this, man.
[Kami] It's been
raining all night.
I am... I'm already shivering.
The shelter is soaked.
We're both wet, we're both cold.
I have never, never in my life
wanted a blanket so bad.
[Kami speaking]
[Justin speaking]
[Kami speaking]
[Justin] Damn,
I'm getting soaked.
You?
[Kami] Hmm.
Definitely crossed my mind to
just tap out and be like, "I'm done.
I want to go home."
[Justin] Can't
have the fire go out.
It's too damn hard.
It's been pretty constant
since last night with the rain.
It's really... it's really hard.
[Justin] Did it rain
like this last night?
[Kami] I don't know
if it was this hard.
The only thing I want to do...
this is a little rough for me.
[Justin] This is what?
[Kami] This is a little
rough for me after last night.
[Justin] I mean,
I get it, but...
[Justin speaking]
[Kami] I'm running out right now,
it's just the cold and the wet is really
taking a toll on me right now.
The thought of it raining
all day and into night
and being like this
is really a struggle.
I'm literally having an internal,
like, debate, like, the last hour.
Sucks.
[Justin] What doesn't?
Want to know what sucks?
Being a quitter
the rest of your life
and everybody telling you how they're
proud of you, but deep down inside,
they know you didn't make
it and that you're a quitter.
Straight up.
How you gonna sleep at night?
Well, it stopped raining again.
[Kami] What are you doing?
- [Justin] Huh?
- [Kami] What are you doing?
[Justin] I'm gonna go
down, try and get some food.
[Kami] Oh, really don't
think I can do too much.
I'm just trying to
fight my demons.
[Justin] See, honestly, it gives
me, like, comfort walking around.
I know it's energy,
but it calms me down.
Ah, [bleep].
[Kami] Having a
really hard time.
My body hurts.
What sucks, in all honesty,
is that Kami's checked out.
And she doesn't
want to do anything.
[Kami speaking]
I can't bear the thought.
I just need some protein, dude.
Oh, [bleep].
Crab.
Right here I got a crab.
Let me catch his a*s first.
Get back.
Pretty sure it's a crab.
Don't you dare try
and escape, b*tch.
All this is for
like 20 calories.
Got him!
Oh, Jesus, dude.
It's a lot of work.
I know now that
there's crab in the water.
I can come here tomorrow.
I can cruise all day.
And I'll just keep eating, dude.
It's a start.
- What up?
- [Kami] Hey.
[Justin] I caught
a freaking crab.
Had to pry it out of a log.
Nice.
So, are you in it or no?
'Cause you told me earlier
that you might be out.
And if I share all this
for real, I need to know
that you're in it 'cause
if not, I'm sharing food,
and then you bounce out,
and then I get half calories.
No, no. Your crab, you're fine.
No, I'm gonna share
it. But I'm asking you.
No, I don't want
any crab, though.
Right on.
[Kami] I'm dreading the thought
of like being wet and cold again.
It's probably gonna
happen tonight.
[Kami] I know.
I'm just being honest.
[Justin] Kami's
hurting pretty bad.
She's been complaining all day
long, definitely in her own head.
So I think she's got a
big decision to make.
Sorry, buddy.
[Kami] I mean,
honestly, I really...
I really just want to
like... I'm, like, so done.
It's really hard for me to stay.
[Justin] It's on you, man.
I'm not even talking you
out of anything anymore.
[Kami] I just want to go home.
Like I just can't anymore.
So tough.
[Justin] I know, man.
Again, it's between you.
You keep saying it out loud.
I'm, like, in a solid
mood right now.
I'm like... I'm good.
I'm checked in, I'm back
and then all I hear is...
[sighs]
And I'm like, I'm not
gonna pick you up anymore.
So, like, it's either
you're in it or you're not.
But that's your decision.
But I need you to stop telling
me because it just brings me down.
Like, I've been super supportive,
dude, up until this point.
But I need to worry
about my damn self.
So please, dude, if you're
going to go, just go on your own.
If you're gonna
stay, stay checked in.
So it's either you're
in or you're not, man.
Like, I've been super supportive,
dude, up until this point,
but I need to worry
about my damn self.
So please, it's either
you're in or you're not, man.
[Kami speaking, crying]
Ow.
That's it. I just
had to call it out.
I'm not trying to break anybody,
but she's got a big decision to make.
You know, I'm on a level
and I need to stay there.
And anything in the way
needs to not be there.
I guess I'll see when
she gets back, but...
I don't know.
It's either you're
in or you're out.
It's not so complicated.
It's binary.
Ones and zeros.
Yes or no.
I want to go home
more than I want to stay.
And that should
be my indication.
Another five days
out here, I can't...
[Mike speaking]
I'm so broken, like...
I'm not in it anymore.
Mentally, like, I'm not...
Mentally, like, I'm not...
like, I'm not present.
And I don't think
that's fair to me.
[Mike speaking]
I don't think it's
fair to my partner.
I'm having a really hard time.
I want to go home so bad.
I've been thinking
about it all day.
I want to go home.
[Mike speaking]
Hey, Justin.
[Justin] Yeah.
Um, I'm going to leave.
I want to go home more
than I want to be here.
Okay.
[Kami] I don't...
I don't want it to affect you
'cause I know it already is.
Justin, like I've said
numerous times, he's awesome.
Like, I couldn't have asked
for a better partner, man.
That guy is mission focused.
It's time for me to
go 'cause I just...
I can't be here anymore.
But I know he needs to be
in a really good headspace.
But I know he needs to be
in a really good headspace
to finish these
last five days out.
No hard feelings.
Nah, I'm not mad.
What about you? I
think I'll be all right.
All I can do is wish
Justin the best of luck.
And I know he's gonna k*ll it.
I'll be all right.
[Kami] Okay.
[Justin] It's either I
live or I die, that's it.
[Kami] You're going to live.
[Justin] This challenge is
definitely similar to MMA training.
What happens to the body
physically and in terms of mentally
staying checked in
and just freaking having.
To power through, very similar.
Five days.
[narrator] With only
five days remaining,
Kami succumbs to
Guyana, 21 pounds lighter,
her early exit drops
her PSR from 6.7 to 5.8.
[Kami] This place is ridiculous.
This was not easy by any means.
This jungle is very unforgiving.
My body is completely
eaten head from toe.
And I'm talking thousands
of bites, like bites upon bites.
We got flooded out
of our first location,
walked in the waters
with the caiman.
I'm not disappointed.
I'm really proud of myself.
And I'm owning my
[bleep], like I'm okay.
You win some and you lose some.
But I don't take this as a loss.
Kami quit.
Today was a good day though.
Unfortunately, she quit.
But I went back to my
mantra. Fire, water, fish, food.
And today is night one
officially alone in the jungle.
Before the sun goes down, I definitely
want to have to cue things away
so I can make sure
that I stay warm tonight.
But, it is no easy feat being
out in the jungle all by myself.
It is what it is, bro.
Honestly, I'm being mean.
There wasn't really a
whole lot being done.
Like, literally all day, she kind
of just laid there. I'm not upset.
It's just like, again,
I'm doing all the fire.
I'm doing all the water.
I'm doing all the hunting.
It's kind of the same thing.
I just get a little more
space, no cuddles at night.
So that's going to be different.
See how that goes.
I'll be all right.
[groans] Man,
I'm kind of drained.
The first night alone, it only
rained a little bit, fortunately.
Actually, it wasn't too bad.
I kind of like sitting there by
myself in my own thoughts.
I think there's tests to
come and I'm here for it.
So let's go.
Gonna go look for some protein.
I need some protein, man.
[bleep] hurting.
Let's go get some crab.
I know you can eat lizards.
I don't really care what
the meat tastes like.
I will definitely eat lizard right
now, but I just can't get to him.
I can't get to him from here.
I didn't get it, so... Damn it.
[narrator] Nearly three
weeks into the challenge,
Justin has consumed
barely 1,000 calories.
His body is now
feeding on itself.
The lack of nutrients could
compromise his mental acuity,
affecting concentration,
memory, and fear responses.
[Justin groans]
What the... It's an ant.
Bit my b*ll s*ck.
Why?
[groans in pain]
There's a snake.
That's a coral snake.
I'm not messing with it.
Very, very poisonous.
I'm gonna get out of this water.
I'm not messing
around with that.
I usually break the logs and I
just reach for crabs right away.
But seeing a coral snake inside of a log
just kind of shows me that they're real.
They are the second most
venomous snake in the world.
There's a real threat out
there, so I just got to be careful.
Kind of scary.
So I'm gonna walk some
other trail on the way back.
Damn it, dude. I
wanted some food.
I wanted some protein.
Sitting here in the dark,
waiting for it to get miserable.
It's not miserable yet.
But I guarantee you,
it will be at some point.
Who knows?
Maybe I just have a
beautiful night's sleep.
Yeah, right. Not gonna happen.
You know, two more
nights of suffering.
Guyana's crazy.
This is no easy feat, man.
I've done a lot
of stuff in my life.
Had a... an
unorthodox childhood.
Parents split when I was four.
I slept on floors till I was 11
years old and never really thought
anything of it
until you get older.
You're like, "Man,
that's not normal," right?
And I always had like a blanket.
They'd just throw a blanket
on the floor and a pillow.
And that is how I slept
on the home until I was 11.
And, you know, so
that makes you mentally.
And, you know, so
that makes you mentally
strong because you
don't have a choice.
You got to just
toughen up early.
You got to just figure
life out and just press.
Been through a lot
of hard stuff, man.
And this challenge
is still the real deal.
I will say that.
It's not easy, but I just want to
send the message that the reason
why I'm gonna pass this challenge
is because it's 100% mental.
We are all human beings.
We are all capable. Right?
Whether you slept on
the floor growing up,
whether you slept in a nice bed,
whether you grew up homeless,
whatever the case may be, we are all
human beings and we are all capable.
[Justin snoring]
[Justin speaking]
I had this crazy dream where I woke
up, and again, I still don't understand it,
but the jungle makes
me do things in my sleep.
At least it has been
when I've been out here.
You become one with the jungle.
And one of the things that it
kept telling me was to make an X.
When I woke up in my dream, I
literally woke up and was standing outside
my tent and I was like, "What?
What do you mean make an X?"
And it said, "Make
an X for a fish?
One line if it's not
a fish, make an X."
And I was like, "I'm
trying. How do I?"
And they're like, "Do it again."
And I'm like, "I
don't know how."
And then I woke up and I was
confused, standing outside my shelter.
Jungle was telling me,
"Go, go fish, go fish.
You'll get the energy you need
for tomorrow for extraction."
Which is where I'm at, you know?
I'm a bit cold.
I got to restart my fire.
But today was a good day, man.
And I feel like the
universe spoke to me.
I'm just getting
the fire up a little.
I'm gonna go fish
like my dream told me.
Something about an
X. Something about fish.
I don't know. We'll see.
I don't know if it's the
jungle playing tricks on me.
That was very, very weird.
Very vivid. Felt very real.
I'm definitely
drained on energy.
I haven't eaten in a few days
and haven't been sleeping much,
but my body is just dragging
and I'm in the jungle by myself.
I think there's some caiman
that could potentially be in there.
I definitely got to be careful.
But if catch this fish, it'll help
me drive for tomorrow's extraction.
Either way, I'm going to find new limitations
I didn't know I had and I'm going to break
past limitations I
thought were limitations.
Body's freaking crazy, dude.
I know I'll power through this.
Missed it.
I can see... I see movement.
I don't know if it's rain
or it's fish, but I see 'em.
Oh, [bleep].
Hell yeah. Dude, we eatin'.
We eatin' today.
Holy [bleep]!
Something's grabbing my leg.
Something's grabbing my leg.
Toad is so funny.
Every time that I make fire at night
and it's raining, they're always like,
"What is that?" And
I'm not even joking.
They've jumped into the fire two or
three times and immediately hop out.
These things are always
tricky. I'm telling you, dude.
They've hopped in my fire.
Boom, boom.
Hopped in and out,
like, "Oh, that burns.
No, don't do it."
Oh, you're eating the bugs.
Thank you, bro.
Appreciate that.
Here he goes. Oh,
ate another bug.
Hell yeah, dude. Thank you.
Appreciate it.
I read that you
do not eat toads.
I know you don't eat
toads. You can eat frogs.
But you got to
peel all the skin.
That's not a frog
though. That's a toad.
All right, toad.
Don't get close to the fire.
It burns you.
It burns you. Okay?
See you around, toad.
It's been real.
Holy [bleep]!
Hell yeah, dude, we eatin'.
We eatin' today. Holy [bleep]!
Something's grabbing my leg.
Something's grabbing my leg.
Okay. It's a log.
Hell yeah, dude.
Piranha.
Yeah. These
things freaking bite.
I'm sorry, dude.
I need to eat.
I got something.
I got something.
I've got a catfish.
Nice.
When I extract tomorrow, man,
I'm gonna have some energy.
I haven't eaten in
four days, so let's get it.
Are you not entertained?
It's pretty primal right here.
Catching piranhas and
catfish, hacking heads off.
I got to do what I got to do.
All right.
Get away from my fish, bro.
Oh, these mosquitos
are relentless, dude.
This protein came at a much
needed time right before extraction.
I mean, I was just gonna
suck it up and just be really
tired during
extraction tomorrow.
But today was a good day, man.
And I feel like the
universe spoke to me.
I got fish.
And it's like the jungle was
telling me, "Go, go fish. Go fish.
You'll get the energy you need
for tomorrow for extraction."
And it happened.
I feel good, man. I feel good.
Can't believe that I'm
on my last night here.
Wake up, hit extraction.
Freaking challenge complete,
go out with a bang, right?
Things kind of worked
out more perfect.
I mean, I survived freaking 20 days
of bugs and rain and all sorts of things,
cold and misery and
partnership and all this stuff.
You know, things just
couldn't be more perfect.
I catch two fish my
last day, and I feel...
I feel really good.
Can't believe today's
day 20 already.
And I got food.
I haven't eaten in
like four, five days.
What's today? Four days.
I haven't eaten in four days.
Mentally, I'm still strong.
Physically, I'm starting
to burn when I just walk.
These fish came at
such a crucial time.
I should buy a lottery ticket in
Guyana, win the Guyanese lottery.
Super good.
Catfish is probably
my favorite fish too.
It's got all this fat.
See all the fat dripping down?
Tomorrow is gonna be epic.
I'm feeling pretty damn good.
You know, I just prepare for
the best, prepare for the worst.
There's really
nothing else I can do.
I've got one more
date with the jungle.
We'll see what she
has in store for me.
Day's not over.
Anything can happen.
Anything can happen still.
What up?
It's the morning of the 21st.
Day 21.
I want to say a bunch
of long, heartfelt stuff.
Just... just get me
out of here, dawg.
Just get me out of here.
So here's extraction.
I need to head east, right?
So...
It's actually... it's that way.
I'm worried about actually
finding my extraction vehicle.
You know, the
landscape is changing.
I'm just gonna head east
and hope that my plan works.
All right. Fire's out.
Definitely keeping this
pot and taking it home.
Has some memories.
I'm going to use it to
cook for everything.
It's all burnt up
and stuff, charred.
My little souvenir.
All right, fire starter.
Machete, map, let's go.
[narrator] Justin's path back to
civilization once clearly marked on the map,
has since been washed
away by the rising waters.
Heading east, he must navigate
blindly through the five miles
of saturated,
uncertain jungle terrain.
Once through, he will
need to find a way to cross
two flooded tributaries teeming
with opportunistic black caiman before
reaching the extraction point at
the edge of the Rupununi River.
[Justin] Man,
this stuff is thick.
I really don't know
where I'm stepping.
I'm just... I'm walking slow.
It doesn't really hurt
my feet anymore.
I just need to make sure I
don't step on like a snake,
coral snake or some
ants or some thorns.
We're still in it.
Still thick.
This part of the jungle definitely
seems different than what it started with.
Super thick. Yeah.
Where I was at before,
it was just all mud, right?
So, hard to walk.
But it was comforting
because it was just mush.
This is there's like,
spikes and thorns and stuff.
Maybe I should have
made some shoes.
All right, looks like this
is the end of the road.
I heard a splash.
I don't know, man.
I'm really worried about getting bit
by a coral snake or freaking caiman.
That would suck, but whatever.
East is still that way.
Looks like this is
the end of the road.
So push this way.
I see land on this side,
so I think I'm going to cross.
I hope it's... you know,
I hope I can walk it.
If I got to swim
it, I got to swim it.
But I'm gonna push right here.
I'm gonna push east
between these two trees.
Let's get primal, dawg.
Let's cross this.
You go through hardship in life as a
kid, the w*r, etcetera, if I got to go back
and tell myself, you know,
what would you do to help
you get through this challenge,
it's just keep going, man,
and just get kept going when I
was 4, 5, 10, 11, just like I kept going
every time I got
hit, just keep going.
That was...
honestly, I got a little
adrenaline rush right there,
just knowing that
something could snatch me.
It's kind of cool.
It's a great feeling.
It's a great feeling
when it's done.
Oh, man, this is disgusting.
Oh.
There's water everywhere.
Everything is flooded out.
So it looks like I
got to swim again.
I got to push east.
I got to cross this little canal
whatever it is you want to call it.
Let's just get it done, man.
Let's hope there's a
river on the other side.
This 21-day challenge,
it's just a challenge.
And again, you know, I
was asked on the challenge,
like, "How are you reflecting?"
I'm like, "I don't
have time, bro.
I don't have time.
I'm surviving.
I'm going through it."
What matters is right
now in this moment.
So what would I tell
myself or my previous self?
What would I tell myself in
ten years after this somehow
becomes easy 'cause I'm
gonna test myself more?
Keep going, man, it's worth it.
Another day, another...
another water crossing.
See how dark it just got, man.
I'm trying to find that sun.
Oh, yeah, dude, it's raining.
Oh.
I think that tree
line right there...
I mean, if it's a tree line,
there's tree lines by rivers.
I hope that's the river,
but I don't know, man.
It's just... it's so dense.
I can't really tell.
I see sun. I see tree line.
Less dense.
Twenty-one days, man.
It's not that much, right?
Twenty-one days of bugs, bug
bites, thousands of bug bites,
little food, little sleep, freaking
jungle dreams, arguments.
Yeah.
Yeah, buddy! Here's a river.
Here's a river.
Yeah!
Oh, there it is.
Yeah!
Dude, this is it.
This is it. What's up, dude?
Yeah!
Yeah, dawg!
Hell yeah, dude.
Hell yeah.
Boom!
Yeah.
Twenty-one days.
I am out, dude.
I am out.
[narrator] After 21 grueling days
in the flooded Guyanese jungle,
Justin completes the challenge,
shedding a total of 38 pounds.
The MMA fighter's Primitive
Survival Rating jumps
from 6.2 to 7.4.
[Justin] This is one of the coolest
views I've ever had in my life.
Naked on a freakin' boat, dude.
I'm freaking naked right now.
And for once, this
whole challenge,
I'm actually stoked to be naked.
I'm just so liberated, dude.
I just survived this.
I just survived 21 days in
the jungle, five days by myself.
This is life right here.
Look at this.
Telling you, this is one of the
coolest experiences of my life, dude.
Had a lot of good
and I had a lot of bad.
But ultimately, it's been
a great, great experience.
Life-changing.
Yeah!
