08x01 - Lost at Sea

Post by bunniefuu »

Sarah: my shoulder
is getting *bleep* up.

Yeah, right?

These paddles
are wearing out.

Well, we've been doing
this for 16 hours now.

Imagine a week of it.

We're hungry.
We're dehydrated.

And we need to find land.

We cannot do this.

This is my nightmare.
This is my nightmare.

Narrator: one man...

And one woman...

I'm not leaving!

...alone for 21 days...

What is that?

...with no food...

Oh, god, I'm freezing.

...no clothes...

Aah!

...no water...

Aah! Move!

Do they have the skills
and the will...

Hurts.

...to overcome the most primal
survival challenge

Of their lives...

...naked and afraid?

Ben: yeah, we're both gonna
get eaten by sharks out here.

Captions paid for by
discovery communications

I can't see
where we're going.

The sun is very, very bright.

I can feel it on my face.

In an area like this,
you could run out of freshwater

And run into a number
of different predators.

It's surprisingly
dangerous out here.

Narrator: at the northwestern
tip of the west indies,

Where the treacherous atlantic
ocean meets the caribbean,

Unpredictable tropical storms
whip up violent seas

While temperatures can climb
into the triple digits.

Lurking beneath
the sea's surface

Is a host of dangerous
marine life,

Ferocious barracuda,
aggressive stingrays,

Venomous lionfish and schools
of bloodthirsty sharks,

Including the deadly
tiger shark.

These large, apex predators
can grow up to 25 feet

And reach weights
of up to 1,900 pounds.

And their sharp, highly serrated
teeth and powerful jaws

Make them deadly hunters.

If there are any sharks
in these water,

I'll be able to see them
from the surface.

You could see everything.

I'm sarah.

I'm from honolulu,
and I work as a dive master.

As a professional scuba diver,

I have a number of
very valuable skills

That I can contribute
to the survival situation.

I can free-dive
to a maximum of 60 feet,

And I have a great familiarity

With fish and marine organisms.

I would say I'm a sort
of a quirky person.

Because I am so jovial,
people think I'm naive.

This challenge is an opportunity
for me to prove

That I am stronger,

Smarter and better in every way

Than I have ever
known myself to be.

Ben: I'll be all right for 21
days as long as I don't get

A heat injury
or dehydrate immediately.

My name is ben.
I'm from atlanta, georgia.

I'm a former navy seal

And currently
a private security contractor.

The seal teams are different
from the rest of the military

Because they're selected
for their ability

To be critical problem solvers

In any stressful environment,

Any stressful situation
regardless of circumstance,

Which means that
everybody views my demeanor

As a little bit
more callous than I do.

But I don't really
give a *bleep*

I'm taking on this challenge
because it's a good opportunity

To do something mentally
and physically engaging,

And I'm hoping it'll give me
some time to reflect about

What I want to do now that
I'm getting out of the military.

So I figure we've got about
5 hours left of daylight.

I still haven't
met my partner yet.

Worried about getting out
of the elements and getting

As comfortable as we'll be
for our first night out.

Sarah:
I don't see any land anywhere.

Ben: is that a life raft?

Sarah: oh, my god.

Oh.

Wow.

Ben: nice.

Stranded at sea.

Sarah: are you kidding me?

This is your bag.

Swim to the raft.

It's a long *bleep* swim.

Here's your bag.

You're going over there.

I see nothing in sight,
and I'm thinking,

"Holy *bleep*
21 days at sea."

It's gonna be a b*tch.

Sarah: not only do I have
to get onto the raft,

But I have to swim
to the raft in water

That I know has tiger sharks,

Lemon sharks, stingrays.

Any one of these
creatures can k*ll you.

See you guys on the other side.

Bombs away!

Hello!
-Hey!

Hello!

How's it going?
I'm ben.

Well, hello.
Sarah.

This is my nightmare,
lost at sea.

This is
the worst thing ever

Because all you do
is float and wait to die.

I mean, we've got a boat,
though. That helps.

-And paddles.
-Yeah.

Well, paddling it in is not
gonna be the most fun.

That's gonna be a nightmare.
All right.

Let's see what
we've got in this.

Hopefully it's some
*bleep* directions.

A map.

Oh, my gosh.
That's us. Look.

Narrator: stranded 11 miles

From the closest piece of land
in the atlantic ocean,

Ben and sarah have
each been allowed

To bring a personal
survival item.

I've got a machete.

I have
a free-diving mask.

They begin their survival
journey in a life raft

Containing paddles,

A bailer and other resources
they can cannibalize

As needed for the duration
of the challenge.

Ben and sarah must now
paddle the 11 grueling miles

To a stretch
of uninhabited islands

In the exumas cays

Where they will be met
by jagged shorelines

And razor-sharp coral,

Poisonwood trees
with toxic sap, poor soil,

Which provides
almost zero resources,

And a sun-scorched terrain
where freshwater will be scarce.

Ben:
we did something like this

Called "around the world."

What, for fun?

I was in the seal teams.

Oh, well, you know what?

I'm really glad
you're a navy guy.

Man, you've got
all kinds of stories.

I don't normally
talk about it.

We're a secret force.

We stay quiet
and successful.

-Oh, wow. Okay.
-Exactly.

Sarah: hearing that ben
is former navy seal

Makes me feel
a little bit intimidated.

I hope that he feels that I am
also a capable partner.

I don't know if I told you,
but I'm a dive master.

That's *bleep* great.

I've been scuba diving
for 10 years.

I'm about the same.

Narrator:
as a former navy seal,

The world's most elite
fighting unit,

Ben has been trained
and deployed

In the most challenging
environments on the planet,

But his stoical temperament
could alienate his partner.

He earns an initial primitive
survival rating, or psr, of 8.1.

Sarah's extensive experience
in a tropical environment

And work as a dive master

Gives her an edge
for foraging for food,

But her insecurities
could prevent her

From asserting
herself effectively,

Putting her initial psr at 6.8.

I didn't really think
we would be

This far away
from land.

These paddles are probably
attracting a lot of attention

To attract them sharks.

They certainly are.

We only got about 40 minutes
of daylight left.

Almost all sharks are nocturnal
except for the nurse sharks.

Not good.
We need to get to land.

My shoulder is
getting *bleep* up.

I feel a little tired.

A little bit
of physical discomfort

Is usually just your mind
playing a trick on you.

You're a lot stronger
than I am, so...

Yeah.

What is that?

That means something
is chasing it.

Bait fish only jump
when they're running.

Are you kidding me?
-They're there.

*Bleep* oh, my god,
all over the place.

*Bleep*

Yeah, we're both gonna get
eaten by sharks out here.

This will be
a 1-day survival.

Aah!

Sarah: aah! *Bleep*

Ben: careful.
Careful.

We almost flipped
the raft...

-Right now.
-...and that's pretty scary.

We need to get to land.

We've been hauling
pretty much non-stop for,

What, 10 hours?
-At least.

We're lost at sea,
stranded in the exumas.

The moon just came out,
which is nice.

Look, and it's
showing us the land!

Oh, yeah.
We're almost there, buddy.

-Yeah.
-Let's keep going.

Come on.

Sarah: land!

Ben: yeah, it's about
*bleep* time, too.

Hello, sunshine!

We did it.
Let's have one of these.

Let's get on the *bleep*
land right now.

I cannot believe we came
that whole distance.

Sarah: we're feeling thirsty.

Our bodies are definitely
worn out.

Oh, god, that's gonna be
a number on our feet.

Ben:
yeah, it's terrible.

Ready, landing.

-All right.
-Oh, yeah.

Sarah:
we're losing a lot of water

From the heat and from the salt,

And we're gonna need
to get some water.

Tie it.

Let's go find freshwater

And rinse the salt water
off us.

God, this is really rough
on our soggy feet.

Traversing
this very sharp terrain.

What?

Let's go
to another beach.

Ben: every piece of brush
that we run into

Is this *bleep*
damn poisonwood.

This island is not
a permissible environment

For us to make camp
for 21 days.

-I'm exhausted.
-Yeah.

Ben: let's just get it
to the closest piece of sand.

Sarah:
not this cove.

Look, the beach there!

I'm gonna swim.
I'm swimming.

*Bleep*

Sarah: if one of us was
to step on a stingray,

That stinger would come up

And puncture and would
basically be incapacitating.

We'll just leave that
right there to drain for,

You know, now.

We did it.

-*Bleep* yeah, we did.
-We did it.

We'll check out the island
to see what we've got.

I'm definitely dehydrated.

Yep.

-Ask me a question.
-Why? No.

Ask me a question
that you think

Will help you
to get to know me.

I don't know.

I don't really have
many questions.

I just kind of listen.

Ben: I pick and choose
when I share things

And who I share them with.

I don't know sarah as well
as a lot of people

That I've known in my life.

Forced interaction is, like,
it's kind of strange.

Boy, mosquito heaven
over here, huh, buddy?

Yeah.
Just bugs.

Here's water.

Aw, yeah!
Look at that!

That's freshwater, for sure,
and it's clean.

This whole island is
just like a giant filter.

Narrator: as the tide rises,
it pushes the fresh groundwater

Through the sand
and gravel in the earth,

Filtering out any
impurities and bacteria.

The water in these
limestone holes

Is then safe to drink
without boiling.

Sarah: how is it?

Ben:
it's definitely fresh.

Ben: it's so clean-tasting,
and it's so cool.

It's just really promising.

It really tastes good.

It's so *bleep* good.

Pretty sweet.

Tell you what, though,
I don't like sitting in here.

Really don't like mosquitos.
-Whatevs.

Ben: at this point, we haven't
slept for a day and a night.

We've bushwhacked
to a fresh-water source,

And we're spent.

Sarah: smart.
Instant shelter.

We earned this raft.

We paddled it
all the way out here,

And now it's ours,
and we can use it.

And it's a fantastic shelter.

Wow.

Sarah: *bleep* god.

I'm getting bit all over.

Man.
What awful creatures.

You can just let them bite.
I don't care.

Ben: she's, I guess,
hypersensitive to bug bites.

I don't really give a *bleep*

Oh, please.
Oh, please, just die.

Die horribly,
all of you.

Ben: just woke up,
and it's daylight,

And we just spent
our first night

Not in our shelter
but under the raft.

I'm not even noticing
being hungry yet.

Just stay full on water.

That way, I don't get
dehydrated,

And I'm not hungry.

I've never had this many
bug bites in my life.

Really?

Yeah, it looks like
a disease or something.

It looks like smallpox.

Sarah: ben doesn't seem to get
hit by them as hard,

But it's difficult
when I feel like

He doesn't really care
that my body

Is having a really
hard time with it.

Sarah: oh, yeah.
It's getting hot now.

It's not as hospitable
an environment

As people would think.

It's definitely not
as nice as it looks.

They're so little.

Maybe my body will just
get used to it, you think?

Is that a thing?

I just ignore it.

Yeah. I get
that nasty hive reaction.

-Yeah?
-It's hard to ignore.

I ignore those, too.

Ben:
this is supposed to hurt.

We're naked on a deserted
beach island.

I mean, this isn't gonna be
first-world comfortable.

I don't listen
to when people complain

About stuff
and whine about stuff.

It's always their problem,
you know?

Just not my problem if
somebody else feels something.

I do think
that social support

Is a really important part
of what it means to be a human.

What it used to mean.

-What it used to mean?
-Yeah.

55,000 Years
of tribalistic perspective

Would say that empathy
is an effective tool

To help people deal
with their problems.

I think empathy
is a character flaw.

It seems almost sociopathic
to me for a person

To truly not experience empathy.

I physically don't
experience it.

It's not that I don't value
other people,

Contributions,
yada, yada, yada.

I just don't care.

It makes me feel like he could
just very easily brush me off

And not care even a little bit,

And I would be left
feeling very alone.

And I don't really
want to feel alone,

Not out here in the middle
of nowhere on a desert island.

Sarah:
my body sort of needs

A fairly constant source
of nutrients,

Or else my muscles are going
to start to deteriorate.

There's a big barracuda,
3- to 4-foot barracuda.

He's pretty big.

He could take some fingers
if he wanted to.

He's done several circles
around me,

Which is kind of creeping me
out a little bit.

I don't want to be bitten
by a barracuda.

All right, ben.
You ready for this?

Snails, food.

I'm still not anywhere
near hungry enough

To be eating ocean bugs.

Ben is never excited about the
things that I'm excited about.

I know these snails,
so I feel pretty good,

Like I've already had
a successful hunting mission.

You're about to get devoured.

Narrator: sea snails provide
a minimal amount of protein

And about 90 calories,

But are coated
in a thick layer of mucus,

Making them less
palatable when raw.

Ben:
pretty gross, huh?

Yeah.

Ugh.
Hoo, uh, ugh.

It's gonna be fine.
It's fine.

It's good.
Okay. Okay.

I'm not really all that
concerned about eating

Because that *bleep* doesn't
look like it tastes good,

And I have plenty
of extra meat to go.

Ben: no sense
in me eating *bleep*

Out of a snail
when I'm not starving.

We need a fire, and we'll cook
up some lobster

And eat like kings
for a couple of weeks.

Ugh.
Yeah, that's...

-Awful.
-...the whole thing.

All right.

This should be good
for the spindle and the bow.

I've made a lot
of friction fires.

Friction fires are pretty easy.

This is actually
an ideal fire board.

Sarah: so I gather you've done
this a few times before.

Ben: yeah.

Sarah: I've never seen such a
nice bow drill set, honestly.

It's really nice.

Yeah, we'll have
a fire today.

We'll have fire
and lobster today.

Ben: all right.

There was a coal there,
and I think I blew it out.

*Bleep*

What if you put
some goopy leaves

In your rock pit there?
-Nope.

Does it hurt that
this is twisted?

No.

You want to hold this rock?
You're barely holding it.

Yeah.

So this has got
to be able to move.

Less pressure,
just still.

Less pressure,
just still.

I don't know
if I can get it direct.

Uh...
-Yeah.

I'll have to hold the rock.
It's all right.

Sarah: it's difficult to work
with a navy seal

Because it makes me feel
like my contributions

Are somehow less.

It's really disappointing.

He did say that he's done it
plenty of times before

And that it wouldn't
be a problem for him.

You're doing a lot of work,
buddy, a lot of work.

Hmm.

I've lost enough water
over this today.

We'll try again tomorrow.

Very valiant efforts,
though.

Yay!

Ben: it's either a success
or a fail.

Like, nice try is what
parents tell their fat kids

When they don't get picked first
for the *bleep* dodgeball team.

Sarah: damn, these bugs

Know how to put a damper
on a day, don't they?

Oh, no!

Ben!

Both of them are deflated now.

It's okay.

Now the raft has begun
to deflate.

So I have to inflate it.

Ugh!

Ugh!

Ben: so this is how I wait
out the bugs at dusk.

They're really bad at dusk.

I come in here,
and I sit up to my nose,

Give them as little surface area

As I can possibly
give them to bite.

Ugh!

I can hear them.
They're in here.

Oh, my god.

*Bleep*
they drive me crazy.

They drive me *bleep* insane.

I swear to god.

Trying to get a chunk
of this for the fire board,

But every time I go at it,
I'm exhausted, so...

Sarah: fire is not something
I think I would be able

To accomplish
out here by myself.

But I have a very important
skill set that will give me

The personal opportunity
to prove my skills

And to bring back resources

That will benefit both of us.

Ben:
the storm is coming in hot.

Sarah:
I have to be very cautious

Because there are sharks
in these waters

Out hunting right now.

Low-visibility conditions
are the conditions

In which sharks will attack.

Hey, ben.
Got some food for us.

* Bringing home the bacon *

I've got three conchs.

Okay.
-Huh?

Okay.

As usual, ben was
entirely un-excited.

I'm doing a lot of work,
and I feel like ben is acting

Like I haven't really
done anything.

It makes me worried
that he undervalues me

And doesn't really consider me
to be a good partner.

Ben: I understand that
our prospect is fire.

Just get used to the fact

That we're not
gonna have one.

These bifocal lenses
in this mask

Have magnification
properties

That are indicative
of the ability

To make a fire.

Narrator: the bifocal lens
from sarah's mask can work

Like a magnifying glass.

Ooh.
The whole bowl is smoking.

Yeah, it is.
I can see it from here.

The lens focuses the sunlight
onto a pinpoint area,

Giving a concentration of heat
that can reach over 450 degrees.

Fire!

Yep, there's fire.

I feel
all proud of myself.

Celebration for days!

We're gonna be
eating crustaceans.

Let me flaunt
my feathers.

Fire is what's
expected, right?

You're actually kind
of putting me down, man.

-That's unfortunate.
-Yeah.

But bifocal lens
is a good idea.

Ben: I'm out here to learn
and try new things

And experience new stuff.

If I just go along with
my idea the whole time,

I don't really *bleep*
learn anything.

I just get beat up out here.

Can we do, like,
a hug or something?

-Sure.
-Yeah, buddy!

Good work.

We did it!

Ben: we have fire now,
so we can go down

Into that channel
and start poking around

For some lobsters and stab
some big old fishy-fish.

Stingray.

No way!

This environment, it's a lot
harder than I thought.

Sarah: he's still out hunting
in the sea.

Would like to have that lobster.

I'm really hungry.

Ben's *bleep* around
k*lling stingrays.

Maybe I should give it a go.
-Here you go.

Sarah:
get that fire ready!

It's already ready.
What did you get?

Little lobster.

Nice!

Well done.

Ben: I realize that I've been
super abrasive towards sarah,

Not necessarily
the most effective,

Like, friend or brother.

Is that your first
spiny lobster?

Sarah:
that's my first lobster.

Congratulations.

Good job.
-Thank you.

Ben: she got the fire first.
She got the first lobster.

She had to go out
and do all these things

That she didn't even
know she could do.

That's gonna be
some tasty treats.

That looks
like good eats.

I may not show it,
but I'm excited for you.

That's a big deal.

I'm not particularly
expressive.

-Well, thanks.
-Yeah.

I appreciate any amount
of expression

You have
to share with me.

That was impressive.

Good job.
Good on you.

You know, at first,

I felt like you didn't
really give a *bleep*

At all about my thoughts
or what I had to say.

I get that all the time.

Ben: so I've kind of always been
pretty callous,

Predictable,
definitely closed-off,

And I think stable
and predictable made

For a really effective operator
in the military,

But sometimes it doesn't
have to be like that.

Mmm. Mmm-mmm.

Mm-hmm.

Oh, yeah!

Is that all you wanted?

Ben: that's it.
Good job.

Ben: sarah and I together,
right now,

Working great as a team.

Here's one little one.
-Yay!

We're coming up with awesome,
awesome meals and food.

What you got there, buddy?
Oh!

Sarah: ben and I are
getting closer as people.

We're starting to connect
with each other on a level

That's deeper than it
has been before.

This is nice.

It's *bleep* awesome,
isn't it?

No bugs.

If he can tell that his teammate
is having a hard time,

He's going to respond
to that in a way

That he thinks will make
the team dynamic better.

Ben: we're k*lling it.

It's almost like empathy,
almost.

So we have the map right now,

And we're getting extracted
from that point.

It's about 7 miles, I think.

Sarah: we need
to repair the raft.

It's completely deflated.

That's a big tear.

I'm sitting here right now
in a pile of raft wreckage that,

In the next two days,
needs to be turned

Into a seaworthy vessel

Capable of traveling
a pretty substantial distance.

So that's fun.

I bet it's got a usable nozzle
that we can replace.

I mean, surely,
it'll leak a little bit.

But it might hold
long enough.

It's worth a try.

Ben: I have more confidence
in sarah's ability

To critically problem solve now
than I did at the beginning.

This guy is definitely
holding air, though.

Yep.
Looks good to me.

Sarah: I've been sailing now
for quite some time.

I understand how it works.

We can lower it like this
and catch the wind this way.

We're gonna windsurf
out of this thing, huh?

-Yeah.
-I'm cool with that.

Ben: the boat is her design.

She wanted to come up with it.

She wanted to see it
come together,

But I've never piled up trash
to make something that floats.

Look at the shark.

And it's coming right at us,
too. Look at that.

Sarah: yep.
I see him.

It looks like it might be a...

Honestly, it looks kind
of hammerhead-y.

It looks like a hammerhead.

Sarah: they're very scary.

They're big,
and they're aggressive.

If this raft doesn't work,
we're screwed.

So I'm definitely worried
about these sharks.

There's no way that
I could swim that distance,

So I need the raft to work.

Narrator: before beginning
their 21-day challenge

On a deserted island
in the exumas cays,

Ben and sarah were given

A primitive survival
rating, or psr.

Sarah's initial desire
to seek ben's approval

And ben's dismissive nature
caused tension

In their partnership.

Sarah:
he just doesn't care.

Narrator: but ben's struggles

And sarah's ability to deliver

Has altered their dynamic.

Ben: nice!

To get off the island
and travel the 5 miles

To their extraction point,

Ben and sarah will have
to work together

To complete their raft.

Sarah: if this raft doesn't
work, we're screwed.

Narrator:
their psrs will be re-evaluated

When they complete
the challenge.

Sarah: kind of bittersweet,
isn't it?

We've made a little home
out of this place.

It'd be interesting leaving
all this simplicity behind,

But I'm ready for
a *bleep* bologna sandwich.

That's for sure.

So this is our beach.

Extraction is basically
that way.

I think we'll just try
and sh**t this channel

And then just catch
the wind straight out.

The only sharks
I'm really concerned about

Are tiger sharks
and bull sharks.

If they come up,
then we'll just have to...

Lift our legs.

Yeah, bend over and kiss
our own a*s goodbye.

Narrator:
to reach their extraction,

Ben and sarah must navigate
their raft a total of 5 miles

To a pick-up point
in the atlantic ocean.

They'll need to avoid
being pushed out to sea

By the strong winds and current.

The most direct route takes them
across a treacherous channel,

Through densely packed mangroves

And shallow inlets
concealing deadly stingrays.

Out in the open water, ferocious
sharks will prey on the weak.

You ready to grab
onto the...

Yeah.

This is sailing.
We're sailing for real.

Just trying to sh**t
that gap right there.

Do you want to go
in between those islands?

Yeah.

This feels like a shark-y place,
doesn't it?

There are sharks
in this environment,

And the feet
dangling seems, like,

Not necessarily
the greatest idea

In a shark-infested
water.

Uh-oh.
We've got a big hole.

Oh, my god.

Ben: yeah, we had to have
come across

A mangrove or something.
*Bleep*

The raft is ruined,
and we have to ditch it.

We know there are stingrays
and sharks in the water.

We might be in serious danger.

We're making our way through
the mangroves now on foot,

Which is particularly
dangerous not only

Because of the stingrays
and sharks,

But because of
the cassiopea jellyfish

That sit on the bottom.

Aw, man.

I'm getting really stung
by these jellyfish.

My *bleep* hurts so bad.

I think the jellyfish's tentacle
went inside my pee-hole.

Yeah, it feels just the same
in my area here, buddy.

*Bleep* hurts.

Sarah:
now would be a good time

To have
the frickin' raft, huh?

Ben: it's all right.

Looks like it's just straight up
towards that little island

That's, like, right here.

That's really, really far.

We've come all this way.
Let's finish strong.

We've got a long open-water
swim ahead of us.

I don't want to get
my feet bitten off

By a shark or anything.

That would be the end
of our journey.

It is like
a fricking marathon.

Yep.
Keep on going.

Holy *bleep*
do you see that over there?

*Bleep* big-a*s shark.

That's, like, 6 feet.

That's the boat!
-That's the boat!

Almost there, buddy.
Let's do this.

We're so close!

You're almost there.

Whoo!

Good work.
Way to finish strong.

We did it.

Yes! We did it!
We did it!

Good job.

I've never experienced
anything of this nature

To this magnitude,

Where I got to learn
a lot of new things.

You ready?

I think being
a little more expressive

And having a little
more human quality

Is gonna be really
important for me

In this next chapter of my life,

Where the military
is completely absent.

We kicked its a*s, buddy!

Initially, I felt intimidated
by ben's experience,

But I learned
that I have a strong

And very creative mind
that's capable of coming up

With many amazing
solutions to problems.

Whatever the challenge is,
I can kick its a*s.

Adios, exumas!

Narrator: 21 days
in the exumas cays

Took a physical toll
on both survivalists.

They drive me crazy.

Narrator: ben lost 25 pounds,

And sarah lost
a total of 8 pounds.

Ben began the challenge
with the confidence

Of a former navy seal.

No way!

Narrator: but his frustrations
with the environment

And lack of empathy
alienated his partner.

Sarah: ben is never excited
about the things

That I'm excited about.

Narrator:
despite his difficulties,

He ultimately persevered

And learned the importance
of human connection.

Ben's primitive survival rating,
or psr,

Increases from 8.1 to 8.3.

Sarah's perseverance made her

An invaluable asset
throughout the challenge...

Whoo!

...raising her score
significantly

From a 6.8 to an 8.3.

Stranded at sea in the exumas
cays proved ben and sarah

Have what it takes
to survive naked and afraid.
