I mean, alI you really need

is, like, a two-by-two...

like, air-ram dirt mattress.

Just to put your feet

'cause that'II cushion it,

and then you'll

probably falI forward.

So if I clear,

like, your head area...

and then make, like,

a little, like, a dirt box.

You know how to rig that?

Yeah.

See, this is already,

like, a foot.

If I can get it

to, like, two feet...

And that's a good angle, right?

Think you can hit that, right?

I mean, I'm not done yet,

but, I mean, you...

- Where it is, is good.

- Yeah.

Ah, that's great.

You really only need it to hit

with two feet in one spot.

So if we can get the spot,

and if you can hit it,

that's alI the cushion you need.

How's that?

No?

Look, it's not gonna be

comfortable,

but it's not a knee-breaker.

How many feet

do you think it is?

It's what?

Here, I'II get more,

I'II get more.

That's pretty good.

I don't know if I can do it.

You okay?

Yeah.

What time do you think it is?

That was far.

Here.

AnimaI tracks.

Follow these to water.

Animals have to know

where the water is out here.

Then we follow them

to the water,

and we just drink our faces up.

Or else they go to the mating

grounds, you know, and...

And then they mate,

and they get thirsty,

and they come back.

All right, but, I mean, I...

Yeah.

We don't know how far

the water is, though.

And I don't think we should

abandon the higher-ground idea,

'cause it was a good idea.

And that was a rolling hills

scout-about.

And if we go on a mountain,

like, crow's-nesting,

like that mountain over there...

Yeah, but...

We know where the water is now.

We could just go there,

and then get water

and then go on our mountain,

the mountaintop scout-about,

after we've gotten water.

I think the mountain's

a better idea

because what if we go

to the mating grounds

and they see us

and they get self-conscious,

and then they don't mate?

Then we'II just...

And then

they won't get thirsty...

Whichever way it is,

if we go there,

and it's the mating grounds,

then we'II just watch them

from a brush.

They won't know we're there,

they won't have any body shame,

and they'II mate,

and get thirsty,

and then they'II come back,

and lead us to the water.

All right.

F*** this.

I can't even

see the tracks anymore.

F*** 'em.

Do you think we should

just go over to that mountain?

Just stop crying, man.

Where you going?!

I don't know!

You wanna help?!

F*** you.

We're walking north-northwest...

for...

a couple hours... a ways...

But that's been the way we've

been walking the whole time.

I mean, it's been

30 hours of walking.

North-northwest.

- Okay?

- Uh-huh.

We've gotta be f***ing close

to the highway.

Yeah.

But we got lost.

I mean, we were going...

We walked our ways,

and maybe it was north.

And then...

We came,

we turned around, and...

We got off...

We started going straight back

down the way we were going.

No, we didn't.

No, no, no, no.

Before we turned around, we

started going down the same way.

But we had turned before...

No, we didn't go

the same f***in' way.

We have not seen any

of the stuff that we've seen.

We haven't passed

anything that looks familiar.

Whatever our direction is,

it's not south,

and it has not been south.

We veered off

at a different point,

and when

we started to come back,

to go back, we started

back the exact same way.

But we didn't see anything

that looked the same.

We could have just

bailed early, you know.

There were so many gerrys

along the way.

We took a...

I mean, we started

going back the same way,

and then we stopped

and said it didn't look right,

and then we went to the right

for a little while.

So we were going east, all

right, which is a totaI gerry

because that's f***ing

a million miles to a road.

That's because we came up

over the thing,

and we saw that whole layout.

There was nothing there.

We didn't see anything.

And then in the morning...

In the morning, we walked north.

In the morning, we...

In the morning,

we definitely walked north.

And then we gerried off

to the animaI tracks,

which was east -

which was west,

but it doesn't matter -

When we hit the tracks,

we took a left,

which was going...

...which was going west.

But more importantly, when I

got up, when we split up,

and I was walking up

on my scout-about,

I was looking into the sun,

which means that it was east.

Um...

So, and then,

when I was on the rock,

and I was looking at you,

the sun was...

When we came down,

we went in that direction.

That means we were going east,

and we walked for a long time.

And our scout-about was east,

so we gerried the scout-about.

We went up

the wrong f***in' mountain.

Okay?

So our direction's

been north-northeast,

but if we spin the f***er

and just go north,

balls-out north,

we're gonna hit

the f***in' highway

because we can't go south.

South is a f***ing

disaster for us.

It would take too f***ing long

to get there.

All right, then let's go north.

Come on, let's go.

We may as welI just sit here.

You know why

I think we should go?

Why?

Because I've got water.

Come on, don't f***in' joke.

I'm not joking.

I found water.

I know exactly where the car is.

How?

Just figured it out.

It was another f***in' mirage.

It was a mirage.

What are you doing?

I really wanted to...

walk up to you and say I had

two bottles of water,

and that I knew

where the car was.

Come on, we gotta go.

Come on.

How do you think

the hike's going so far?

Pretty good.

I'm leaving.
