tying a piece of ribbon, or you can even take out a, your knife, which if you don't have a knife, don't even bother watching this show, you're not gonna make it. But you take this knife and just make an unnatural mark in the tree. You're not gonna harm the tree, and it's gonna let people know

that you were through here. No animal is gonna make that marking. They're gonna know

people are along the way. And you don't have to cut every tree. Just cut maybe every five

or six trees along the path at the same height to make

sure people can find you, and you can get to safety. It's extremely important to

make sure people can figure out where you've been going, because in a situation like this, if you're moving a lot, they're not gonna be able to find you. But sometimes you have to

move, much like in our case, because we have no food and no water. And uh--

- But we will soon. We will soon. - I don't know about you, but uh-- - I have a really good

feeling we're close to water. I think we'll come across

it within the next hour. - My muscles are starting to

cramp a little bit because, well, we don't have any water. Uh... - That's a--

- Something to keep in mind. Dehydration can sneak up on you. You don't even see it coming. - So... Once you have discovered water, a good running water source, you want to make sure that

it's actually safe to drink. You don't want to drink it

straight from the source, uh, simply because there could

be a whole bunch of bacteria in the water. You know, some people

say, "Oh it's, you know, "if it comes from the top of a mountain, "you know, it's perfectly safe." No, don't try to, don't even trust that. - You probably know this

is you watch the show, but Dallas hiked the PCT once. I did. - And the majority of

people who failed to do the 2,600 mile hike up the

Pacific Coast Trail, they uh, they quit very early on from

drinking unpurified water. - Yeah. But with us, we have, uh, iodine tablets. We're gonna find iodine, uh, put iodine tablets in the water as soon as we, uh, find a good source. Uh, you can also use a SteriPEN. Uh, that's actually a

good, preferred method. Uh, if you don't have any of those things, uh, get a good fire going,

and just boil the water. But please, do not drink,

uh, untreated water. It's-it's not that safe. - Whew, let's-let's hold up for a second. Okay. - So let's talk about food real quick, 'cause uh, I feel like,

uh, it's on my mind and it's on your mind. - Yeah, well, I'm not gonna be uh, using my slingshot. Hopefully, uh, something will come along. Best thing is just to stay still, let the animals come to you. Uh, maybe we'll see a squirrel or, uh, if we're lucky, something even bigger. But-- - The slingshot takes

a lot of skill though. And it should be mentioned--

- It does. - You know, I gave you a-a

hard time about choosing a slingshot as one of your personal items, and it is because the

success rate is very low. And one of the--

- Maybe. - Biggest tools you need

out here is patience. - That's true.

- If you don't have patience, you're not gonna get dinner,

you're gonna be hungry. - Yep. - Uh, the other biggest tool in the woods is definitely Dallas. He would be the other big tool. So uh--

- Thanks, man. - Hey, you know--

- I appreciate it. - I got you, brother. So we're going to uh, pick

a good spot and stay there until the animals in the area hopefully get used to our scent. I smell rugged and-and manly. Which I guess they're threatened by. A lot of people seemed

to be threatened by it. - No he doesn't, he smells like BO. I need you stay a little quieter. You got it. - Missed. Like I said, it takes a while. Well, we only have

enough battery for 21 days, so-- - Funny. How did you miss that? - I don't know. It was right there. Damn it. I got nothin'. Wait. Hold on one second. - Come on! What'd you hear? - Trust me, it'll be a lot

better than your hunting. That's what it's gonna be. - Oh, screw you, come on. Let's see you kill it having, at least I brought a-a

instrument for-for hunting. You know, do you plan to kill

anything with your sunglasses? - Well, maybe if you don't

shut up and follow me. - Well, your sunglasses are killing me. The ugliest things I've

ever seen in my life. - Oh, haters gonna hate. Haters gonna hate. Come on dude, trust me, you're gonna, you're gonna be very happy about this. - Oh yeah. Oh yeah, buddy. - I don't really think

you heard anything, buddy. - Oh, I did. - So you did.

- See that's the thing, you keep forgetting, I

hiked the Appalachian Trail, Eagle Scout... I know a couple things about

one very important thing. And that is finding water. Here it is, buddy. - Congratulations. Do I owe you an apology?

- Yeah. - Uh, well you're the one

who gets to drop down there and fill the canteen

and we'll call it even. But now that we have water, we can set up a proper camp. - That's true.

- And maybe, just maybe, we'll be a little bit comfortable tonight. Hopefully. - The weather has been

turning even more frigid. - It is very, very cold. - But--

- I'm hoping we can get at least a fire started. - Oh, I think we won't

have a problem with that. - No. - Not with a stomach full of water. I'll take it.

- Yeah. - I'll take it. So uh, so uh... How... Uh, how stupid are my sunglasses now, huh? - They're incredibly stupid. They are the ugliest sunglasses

I have ever seen, I'm sorry. What do they say on the side? - It's a band I like. So uh, one part of survival

that people don't like to uh, talk about so much is the fact that sometimes you need to conserve body heat. It has been consistently getting

colder in the Pine Barrens every night, and the fire

is not quite enough anymore. So uh, so I guess we're gonna spoon. Come here, it's okay. You're only the little spoon because I'm 30 pounds heavier than you. - No, no.

- So come on. Come on. All right, there we go.

- All right, all right. - Come here.

- Okay. - It doesn't have to be weird if we don't make it weird, right? - Okay, all right.

- All right. - Yep. - A little warmer, yeah.

- Yeah, all right. - That's fine. - Did you ever just... Look at the stars, and wonder? - Okay, please, shut up now. Let's go to sleep. - Do you think we all

have a guardian angel? - Don't care. Just let me go to sleep. - Every person has a soul mate. - Okay, please-- - Now we can, we can sleep for real. Jesus f***ing Christ! Jesus Christ! Okay, Dallas, Dallas, Dallas! I-I 100% saw an animal

out there, or something. I saw some shiny, beady red eyes. You know what I'm talking about, like a, like, what if it was a bear or something? I don't know if it was a bear! But what, could it have been? I mean, the-the-the-- - I don't know.

- It could have been a bear. Did you see it exactly or-- Yeah, no, I saw the eyes of it. They-they must have gleamed

off of my flashlight, or something. Let's take a look around. You sure you saw something? I'm positive. I just don't want

anything to mess with our, through the, through there, I don't want anything to
