14x11 - Abandoned Village

[bunniefuu]

Hopefully, we're almost there.

Look, I see the water.

And a dock.

What the hell!

Is that a lodge?

It's kind of spooky.

Pretty rickety.

Yeah.

Oh, the whole thing
is shaking. Do you feel that?

Yeah.

When do you
think this was abandoned?

30-40 years, maybe.

I have no idea
why it's abandoned.

Maybe there's a huge predato
that was eating the small children.

Maybe it's haunted.

I can't really se
my surroundings very well.

This is like, a
very narrow space.

Having to walk through

Kind of, knee deep
water the whole time,

And not being able to
see where I'm stepping,

That'll definitely be an issue.

Totally out of my element.

Every crazy animal that
you see in a zoo, it's here.

Really insane and I feel...

Crazy!

In the vast
wilderness of botswana,

Lies the okavango delta,

Created by the floodwaters
of the okavango river.

Unlike most rivers that
empty into the ocean,

The okavango spills into
botswana's thorn-scrubbed grasslands,

Forming a maze of
mosquito-infested marshes,

And a network of narrow canals,

Teeming with some of
africa' fiercest wildlife.

I've seen elephants,

I'm seeing, uh, some hippos.

With daytime
temperatures soaring into the 90s,

The swampy delta is an
oasi for 6-ton bull elephants,

And the most dangerous
anima on the continent,

The hippopotamus,

That kills more than
500 people per year,

And can charge at
over 30 miles per hour.

Feeling a little nervous.

Feeling excited.

No turning back.

My name is gabriel.
I'm a geologist.

When it comes to survival, I've been
in the boundary waters for 32 days,

Moab for 15 days,

And I haven't died yet.

I teach wilderness therapy,

Focused on learning
survival skills,

Which is a really great
preparation for this challenge.

When I'm not practicing
survival techniques,

On the side, I do drag.

I've done drag at clubs.

Her name is miss chievous,

And miss chievous, uh,
takes no from anyone.

Being an outdoorsy g*y guy,

I wanna show that you can
challenge yourself to whatever limit.

And you can be fabulous

And you know, survive outside.

Test me, challenge me,
you try to put me in a box,

But I'm here to slay and
I'm gonna k*ll this challenge.

Have integrity.

You say you're
gonna do it, do it.

Don't be a little b*tch.

Gabriel has the confidence

To tackle the most
extreme survival challenge,

But a lack of experience
in the african bush

Could break down
his resolve quickly.

He begins with a
primitive survival rating

Or psr of 6.2.

I am so stoked to
be here, right now.

This is the one of the most
beautiful landscapes I've ever seen.

I'm super lucky to
be here, right now,

And I can't wait to explore
this place a lot more.

I'm marissa. I'm 31 and I
work in the outdoor industry.

I studied both anthropology
and environmental science,

Learning how to be a
wilderness first responder.

I mostly grew up in michiga but I recently
decided to pick up a nomadic life,

Alpine climbing
and mountaineering,

Traveling all over the
western united states.

This is my truck that
I currently live out of.

It's a mess right now.

I am doing this challenge to see
how all of my cumulative experiences

Uniquely prepares me

When I am starving
naked in the wilderness.

I'm usually on my own,

So I'm really looking forwar to
doing this challenge with a partner.

Hoping that they're
supportive, that they have skills,

All the important things that'll
help us both finish the 21 days.

Marissa's
strong survival instincts

Have gotten her through many
solo globetrotting adventures,

But working as a team
may prove challenging

Despite her strong
desire to have a partner.

Marissa starts
with a psr of 6.5.

All right.

Who's ready to see my dad bod.

Time to get naked.

I'm ready to get the ball going,

And I'm ready to embrace nature.

Hopefully, 21 days.

Time to get my giblets tanned.

I feel comfortabl being naked.

To prepare for this challeng
I found a nude beach in mexi

Because I can't have,
like a completely white a*s.

All right. I guess this
is actually happening.

Oh, my gosh!

I wonder who it's gonna be.

I haven't seen a
vag*na in many years.

Hey!

Hello!

I can't believe we're here.

We're here!

Oh, and this landscape
is amazing, it's so unique.

- Hi!
- Hi, what's up?

- What is your name?
- Gabriel.

- Gabriel. I'm marissa.
- Yeah.

Oh, my god! You're stunning!

Thank you.

Too bad I don't like women.

Oh, okay. Yeah, that's fine.
We're gonna go along great.

I haven't seen a woman
fully naked in years.

Wow!

Okay. So, cool!

- This is...
- Well, this is it.

I know.

- It's just the same as I remembered.
- Okay, good.

Actually, I feel very excited and
actually, it makes me more comfortable,

Um, to know that my partner
is g*y with no sexual tensio

And we can just
focus on survival.

Yeah, where are you from?

I am from denver.

- I kind of live all over.
- That's cool.

Yeah, and I just kind of...

I decide, like where I'm gonna
go kind of based on, like, climbing,

- And that sort of world.
- Okay.

- You have that's such a nomadic lifestyle.
- Yeah.

- Yeah. Yeah.
- Cool.

So, I mean, I
guess we should get going.

We should.

Okay.

Marissa and gabri
have each brought a personal item,

A knife and a fire starter.

And they've been given a po to keep
them hydrated in the intense african heat

all right.
We also have a map.

Let's see here.

Where?

Meet point, it looks
like we're right here?

Yeah.

So, really only
water source is right here.

Yeah.

Danger. Animals.

- Stay away.
- So we don't wanna get there.

Stay away from that water.

So, this is... Looks like that's pretty
much the only place to camp around here.

Yeah.

All right.

It's gonna be...
That's gonna be a trek.

I know.
Should get going.

- Okay, cool.
- So, we can get a shelter and sleep well tonight.

- Yeah.
- Cool.

Oh, this grass!

It's sharp.

I know.

Ooh, be careful.
There's a lot of thorns here.

- Yeah.
- I didn't realize so many types of...

Ooh! Ow! Yeah.

Acacia trees there are.

I was reading there's like

100 species of thorns,

- Out here.
- Oh, my gosh! Really?

- Yeah.
- I did not know.

I don't know if I wanted to know that.

Marissa is
really great and super chill.

We vibe really well,

And I'm feeling
really good about that.

Looks like a
whol herd of something.

- See all that movement? On the tree lines?
- Oh, yeah.

So close.

It's pretty crazy.

Keep your eyes peeled,
because we're out in the open.

Yeah, and everything can see us.

This looks
like a good spot for...

- Lions to hang out.
- Yeah, there's so many things to hide behind.

- And snakes.
- There's not much visibility.

Yeah. So, let's be quiet
through here, I think.

Okay.

And just,
like, keep our eyes open.

A lot of things
grazing around here.

Yeah.

Oh, wow!

This whole thing is flooded

Oh, there's a
really big hole here.

It's like hippo tracks.

They're really unpredictable
they could charge.

Their mouths open
at a super wide angle.

Hippos can open
their mouths 180 degrees,

Because of the unique locati
of the hinges in their jaws

they have a
lot of power in their jaws.

So, I have a lot of respect for them,
and I don't want to invade their space.

- It's really deep, so maybe let's cross...
- okay.

Quicker.

Okay.

Looks like there's a good
pathway through here, though.

Yeah.

Hopefully, we're almost there.

- You okay?
- Look, I see the water.

Oh, my gosh! Yes!

- Finally!
- We made it.

Heck, yeah!

A really big body of water.

Yeah.

Look at the hippos. All of the hippos.

Oh, my god!

There's like one, two, three,
four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.

- Yeah.
- And a dock.

And there's a dock?

Oh, !

What... -
what the hell!

This is creepy!

Is that a lodge?

An old lodge?

Like, safari lodge?

I wanna go check it out.

It's like... built
shelter already.

And it's probably
in a good location,

Because somebody
already built it there, right?

It's kind of spooky.

- You got it?
- Yeah.

How old do you think... like, when
do you think this was abandoned?

30, 40 years,

Maybe?

For generations,

Local tribes crafted grass-rooted
huts that they lived in,

While they fished
along these waterways.

A devastating drought many
years ago drove them away.

Pretty rickety.

Um, so we have to be super
careful when we're walking.

Yeah.

Wow!

Oh... The whole thing is
shaking. Do you feel that?

Yeah.

This board is no bueno.

Good burning material.

Not gonna
fall. It's not gonna fall.

I'm not sure if this will be,
like a good place to build our shelter.

I feel, like the
ceilings, they aren't high enough,

For a type of fire.

- You...
- this is old. This is super old and super dry.

- Everything in here is flammable.
- Yeah.

Yeah.

So, that's a problem, then,

Because we really
need a fire in our shelter.

There's a lot
of, like, wasps up here.

Oh, yeah.

- So...
- it's like, mud wasps.

Keep moving on.

Yeah.

This really sucks.

It's nice to know that
there's structure around,

But we definitely can't
real use it to our advantage

Because of the
decrepit shape it's in.

We're gonna be spending
the majority of our time in our shelter,

And I don't know if I want the
majority of our time to be on, like,

- A piece of wood that's falling apart.
- Yeah.

- Shelter.
- We need shelter.

What are you thinking?

Dude, this spot looks...

okay, this feels good, right?

Yeah.

If this is our main dwelling area,
we could have... Enclosed it more.

- Okay.
- I'm gonna take my knife

- And use some of the already premade thatching wall...
- Mmm-hmm.

To put around as a barrier.

That's perfect.

God!

Marissa and gabri are anchoring
their boma to the fishing village dock

Using bamboo wall
sections gabriel cut down.

An enclosure of acacia tree
branches with a fire inside

Will help them avoid being
trampled by hippos in their sleep.

How you feeling?

- We need water soon. Should we start a fire?
- Yeah.

I do.

Definitely a little frightening,

Because we're right near

Um, all these hippos.

I feel really good about
what we accomplished.

Got it...

- which means water...
- Is next!

Ah!

It tastes so good.

Even so burning hot, it's so good.

- This is it.
- We're gonna smoke elephant dung.

With a water lily straw.

The bushmen used to smoke
it to suppress their appetite,

And also, to cure headaches.

Wow.

Harsh.

- It's super harsh.
- So harsh.

- Mmm.
- Mmm. Mmm.

Wow!

Headache is gone.

-Yeah, it's like... -I'm
not hungry anymore.

Yeah.

Whoo! Feel great!

I'm waking up, I don't know.

Don't think I've slept at all.

There's a lot of animal noises.

We just heard
these crazy hippos,

Doing their deep
gargles all night.

We have to remember
that they're hippos.

Yeah, we've never heard these
sounds before and it is crazy.

We're both feeling a little...
Crazy and overwhelmed.

It's
like, maybe 7:30.

Night one is done.

Um, I didn't sleep at all.

Definitely have noticed a
lo of aches and pains today.

I'm tired, hungry, cranky.

I'm not mentally
prepared for this.

Oh, I like that there's
a pond up there, that I saw.

That might actually... there's
no, like, hippos in there.

Did you see, were
there water lilies there?

Mm-hmm. There were.

Gabriel had a really
long night, last night.

I am a little bit
worried about him.

Think we're gonna dig
up some water lilies.

I'm hoping that finding
foo will change everything,

And make everything feel better.

Think right here.

We can have every
part of the water lily.

The flowers, the seeds,
the stems, the lily pads.

- Oh, yeah.
- Mm-hmm.

- You can just go right down the chute.
- I know.

Yeah.

They look more like tubers,
like little baby potatoes.

Yeah.

- Look.
- You found one?

The whole thing.

We can eat that.

They taste like potato.
It's just they're super starchy.

Oh, god! You have a really
huge leech on the back of your leg.

Ah!

Okay, let's get out of here.

- Feel that sucking...
- oh, my god!

Yeah.

Oh, gross.

It's really gross out here.

That freaked me out.

I feel like it got
a lot of blood.

God, that was nasty.

Cheers.

Cheers.

It is so mushy.

They're very mushy.

Mmm.

It also kinda tastes like it
smelled out there, you know?

- We're eating wetland.
- Mmm-hmm.

Our first meal is
such a disappointment.

I'm hoping that we can find, like an
actual food source that you wanna eat,

And that you don't
have to, like, gag down.

I cannot do this the whole time.

- Mmm.
- Whoa!

What's wrong? What's wrong?

Where?

Oh, I see it.

- We're good.
- Damn!

Cool. Well, I'm gonna
try to sleep more.

Okay, I haven't slept.

It's the morning of day thre

I'm just picking up some
heavy-duty leadwood,

From the broken down
fishing hut railings, the debris.

Last night was
really uncomfortable.

Right now, I am
feeling super exhausted

I don't know if my body
can do 21 days like this.

Hi! Did
you sleep at all?

- Nah.
- Oh, no!

- Yeah.
- I dozed off a little bit.

No sleep.

Sleep.

Water.

You almost, like, take them...

For granted in the real world.

Hitting a wall.

Partner is not doing okay.

I'm hoping I can
help talk him down,

Because I signed up
to do th with somebody.

I don't really
wanna do it alone.

So, what are you
thinking about today?

Spotted a fig tree.

- Oh, nice.
- So,

I think it'd be cool to go over
there and see if we can get any figs.

Okay.

I really like that.

It looks like a fig tree.

We need to eat
something substantial.

It could be a really good, u
potential treasure gold mine

Oh, that's a
massive hippo, just...

right by the fig tree.

Right.
Going to the fig tree.

So, we're gonna have
to kinda go around.

Do you think it's worth it?

- I say yes.
- Okay.

Will that make you...

- Like, let's...
- like...

- I think it would... It would feel good.
- Okay.

Be able to last a bit?

- Yeah.
- Okay, cool.

It's only day three.

Like, I want to help him sort of
change his, like, mental state,

And try to, like,
enjoy being here.

Be careful.

We are upwind from
anything down here, so they'll smell us.

Okay.

But...

- Still look for movement.
- M m-hmm.

I think thinking about
figs as... I'm like...

Getting hungry

but I'm also
preparing for there to not be,

'cause otherwise, then, it's
gonna send, you know... -

I'm thinking abou figs as... I'm like...

Getting hungry

but I'm also
preparing for there to not b

Because otherwise, then, it's
gonna send, you know...-

oh, my god!

They... They ran all
the way past there.

Holy
! That lion...

It was so close.

- All right, heart...
- okay.

In this really tall grass,
you can't really see much.

So, things can
come out of nowhere.

My heart just, like, jumped

that was totally insane.

It's only day thre

And it's already
as real as it can get.

We're so close.

Looks like the fig tree.

Do you see any fruit?

Don't see anything.

Of course.

I don't see fruit.

I'm, like,
looking on the ground.

No, no figs.

This sucks.

I know. I don't wanna
dwell on it too much, though.

- Okay.
- There's no figs.

This was gonna be a
really joyous victory, but...

It's not.

So...

it's really upsetting.

I feel like he's shutting down.

He's just kind of in a not good
spot as far as feeling capable,

And comfortable being out here.

It would have been super nice.

- After walking all that way, that's for sure.
- Yeah.

It would have.

How you feeling?

I can't sleep.

I can't get comfortable.

There's too many bugs.

It's like, overwhelming.

Ooh!
Those look really bad.

It is, like, firm to the touch.

What can I... How... How
can I help you? What can I do?

I don't know.

I'm really miserable.

I'm so sorry.

I don't want to g home,

But I can't do this on no sleep.

I can't.

Hey! Can I speak
to you for a minute?

Yeah.

I don't really
want to do this anymore.

So, I guess I'm gonna
tap out of this challenge.

Um...

I mean, I don't
wanna be here alone.

- Yeah.
- Like, are you...

Are you 100%
sure, or do you, like...

I think I'm...

- Gonna stick to my g*ns.
- Okay.

You're fully capable...

To do this.

I know that I can, but...

This has...

My whole thing,
like, in this was...

Like strategy, it was like,
working with somebody.

- Like...
- I know.

Figure things out together and
be there for each other and...

Celebrate each other,

And I, like, don't have
anyone to do that with.

Just being out her
and being stripped of everything,

It makes you really,

I don't know, get
into your head,

And think about your thresholds
and what you're capable of.

We can hug it out.

Okay.

Yeah.

I came in thinking I was rea
and mentally prepared for this.

And I wanted to be, but...

I'm not.

After only four days,

Gabriel's early departure
drops his psr from 6.2 to 4.

I feel bad for leaving her.

I didn't have what it takes

To do this challenge,

But I feel like she
can continue on,

And I think she has the mental
strength to do this challenge,

And go all the way.

I didn't really think
about not having a partner

During this challenge.

It makes things a lot harder

Um, there's not two
people to do chores.

There's nobody to help me carry the
really heavy leadwood and the firewood,

And it's also
really hard to drag.

Oh, my god.

It's really dense, which
is why it burns for so long,

But it's super heavy.

I'm usually very confident
with being on my own,

But this is a
survival situation,

And I don't have a partner
to share the load anymore.

Last night was a
little bit more difficult.

I got a lot less sleep.

It makes it so much harder to not
have somebody to help with anything.

So heavy.

My plan for the day is
to collect extra firewood.

I'll be doing this on my ow
for two and a half weeks.

Like, I really wanna
finish this challenge.

I went into this thinking it'll
be, like, 80 or 90% mental,

And I definitely
agree with that.

However,

The hardest about being her is being out
here without having much at all to eat.

In the past seven days,

Marissa has consumed
about 200 calories,

And expended 50
times that amount.

Oh, my gosh.

I see a snake.

Oh, my god!

Got it.

Okay.

Wow!

Marissa has
caugh a spotted bush snake.

While not venomous,

It can inflict a painful bit
with its needle sharp teeth

sorry, dude.

Ugh!

I'm sad that I
had to k*ll a snake,

But also, really hungry,

And happy that it's
gonna feed me today.

This is so wild. I can't believe
I'm about to eat snake that I caught.

And I'm so hungry.

Thank you so much, snake.

Oh.

It's really good.

Like,

Seared.

Seared snake for lunch.

It tastes like... Kinda
tastes like pulled pork.

Like, the consistency of it.

Catching that snake was like really
what I wanted from this experience.

I just appreciate it so much
and I needed it so much.

Super badass!

It's gonna be a good night.

There's pretty muc
hippos feeding, splashing around

Outside of my boma
every night, out in the reeds.

But there's one that
came ou of the water.

I can hear it next to my boma,
it's like eating all the reeds

Right next to the
tree I'm under.

It's just really, really close.

Oh! Do you hear that?

There's stuff pretty close.

I'm feeling really hungry.

I haven't had a
lot of good food yet.

I've seen fish activity
across the hippo pond.

I know that there's...
There's fish there.

So, it does give me, like,
a little bit of hope that,

Like, okay, there are fish here,

And that channel is
a good spot for them.

So, I just need to figure
ou a way to get those fish.

I've got like,
water buffalo tail,

That I found.

And the hair is super wiry
and really, really strong.

Like, you know, it's really thin, so
it'd make a really good fishing line.

Um...

So, I'm just finishing
braiding this.

And then, I have
this acacia thorn.

It should act as,
like, a good hook.

There's a snail on the
bottom of the lily pad.

This is perfect

For bait.

Haven't really seen fish anywhere
else, and this seem like the best spot.

So, I'm just gonna
keep my eye out and...

Stand and fish
here for a little bit.

Ah!

Damn, like, right there.

This is the closest I've been to
the hippos. This is pretty crazy.

It's hard, 'cause I
can't see anything

The water's so murky, you
can't tell if there's any fish.

Nothing.

Oh, my gosh!

It just ate my bait,

And it's gone.

So there's fish.

Okay, well.

There's hippos on the
move, coming this way.

Hippos can swim
twice as fast as humans,

And can hold their breath
underwater for more than five minutes.

Whoa!

Definitely got closer.

Oh, my god.

Wow!

There's four of them,
staring me down, right now.

So...

Okay, I got the message.

Definitely not worth it.

Way too risky.

I look so scrawny right now

I just kinda, like,
looked at my body,

And it's weird, doesn't feel like I've
lost any weight by looking at it now.

It's like, really absurd.

I think, like, I've lost
all my muscle mass.

Every step is really slow.

It's hard to even talk.

It's getting really
discouraging.

I really didn't wanna do
this challenge, starving.

Um,

And I also didn't really
wanna do it alone.

So...

It's starting to feel like..

Yeah, so this is just like,
not what I was looking for.

I don't see signs of anything.

It's hard when I've gone so many
days without big food success.

Right now, it just feels
like I'm barel getting by.

Something smells so bad.

There's another
piece of leadwood.

Oh, my god!

An impala.

Smells really rotten already.

Oh, yeah. It's like,
completely rotting, like, in here.

It's like, bloated.

It's rotting.

There's a bite taken out of it,
and but yet, it's so like, intact.

I'm starving, so is there
anything I can salvage from this?

One of the shoulders
has been in the shade.

So, like maybe, I
could risk something.

All right, it's still
bloody red in here,

Which is good.

Oh, my god!

Yay!

Holy!

So far, this meat
looks pretty good.

This is actually happening.

I am in botswana
and this is an impala,

And I'm about to eat this leg
which has been dead for two days.

There's definitely
a risk factor there,

But if I cook it really good

It could be okay.

Um, gonna try this.

I think it's good.

Wow.

This is just so good.

This isn't a super easy place,

But...

God! It's so cool when you
like, find everything you need.

My body needed this so bad.

Wow, this is just so good.

Wow.

This challenge is exhausting

A lot of the endurance
activities that I do,

You know that you're, like, at the end
of your rope, but you still have more left.

Knowing that I only have a f days
left, it might be the hardest days yet.

As long as I keep moving,

And keep going, like,
I'll be able to make it.

Energy levels,

Um, consistently low,

But

I haven't had food
since the impala leg,

Maybe, like, four days ago?

My plan is to get some bone
marrow from the carcass.

That I got my meat
from the other day.

I know that the marrow is
good for, like, three weeks.

Bone marrow in rotting
meat can last longer without spoiling

Because the bone
that it is encased in,

Protects it from microbes,

That can cause salmonella.

Oh, jeez! Is it gone?

Gosh.

The whole thing is gone?

There's like, not
even a trace of it.

Nothing is left.

Oh, look at this massive...

This elephant dung.

Looks pretty fresh.

Speaking of elephants,

Look at that.

Oh, my god!

He's checking us out.

So crazy.

What I've read is that usually,

The bulls will be alone.

Yeah.

So,

There is potential.

We need to not get close to it.

- Incredible.
- Just staring at us.

That's wild.

The whole thing is gone?

Look, there's like, a couple
of tufts of hair, but that's it.

What the heck!

The fact that the
whole thin is gone,

Something big had to
have dragged it off for sure.

Like, lion or leopard.

Oh! There's a leg, I think.

Crazy.

Whoa!

Yeah, I don't know if
this'll work, we'll see.

So many ants on it.

Hopefully, it's full
of bone marrow.

I did not know much
about bone marrow,

Except that I've had it twice
at very fancy restaurants.

So, I know that it's delicious.

I mean, it's rich.

It's like, really, really rich.

Gosh, it tastes like...

Fatty, it's like butter, I
mean, my body is like,

"oh, my god, butter, like,
I'm eating straight butter."

The flavor is so nice.

It is so good.

Hoping it will give me like,
a little bit extra energy boost,

Like a little bit
of like a oompf

To get me through extraction.

Well, that was not very much,

But it was incredible.

It's first light of the
morning of day 21.

Everyone's waking
up now, including me.

I'm so excited about today.

It's extraction day.

I have, like, a
hike out of here.

It's gonna be super-hot.

So, just making
sure to stay hydrated,

And then, just like,
push through it.

All right.

Bye, boma!

So, I have to head this way,

Which means I need
to cross in the shallows.

To get to her extraction point,

Marissa will have to wade
through the swampy wetlands

Steering clear of
aggressiv packs of hippos,

That can snap off a human li

With a single bite.

Marissa will then
have to hi two miles,

Through sagebrush and mopane
thickets, on the lookout for lions,

That can hear prey
up to a mile away.

Finally, a mile and a half trek
across the scorching thorny desert,

Will lead her to a
large bod of water,

Where she will be
extracted by boat.

Cool.

This is not gonna be easy.

We have a long way to go.

I hope I have enough
energy to finish.

There's like, a hippo
highway over here,

That'll get me to
the sage grasses.

My feet are so cut up from
all of the grasses in the reeds.

When they're wet, they
just get like, torn up.

This part's going
to be really slow.

Oh, my god!

Here's a carcass.

A lion probably k*lled it.

Just need to make sure
that I'm super aware here.

Definitely tired.

Just trying to keep moving.

It's like, really hot out.

And I'm thirsty. I'm
trying not to pass out.

Oh, whoa.

Big body of water.

I think on the map...

Means my extraction
point is close.

Oh, my god! I see
a vehicle.

It's coming so fast. Yes.

Oh, what! It's a
boat! yes.

Oh, my god! I wish
I could run there.

I did it!

This is the best.

I did it!

This challenge
was really difficult.

My partner tapped on day fou

It was really hard

To lose him so early,

But seeing what I'm capable of,

I'm really proud of myself.

I'm very overwhelmed, right now.

Living a nomadic life,

I have never thought about
being in one place long enough

And I wonder, like,
what I would find.

Just knowing that I can exis for
21 days with pretty much nothing,

Is like a really big
takeaway for me.

I just feel like a deeper
sense of peace about like,

Myself and my life
after completing this.

Oh, this feels so good!

After surviving 21
days in the okavango delta,

17 of them alone,

Marissa lost a
total of 24 pounds.

Her final psr rises
from 6.5 to 7.6.

I'm done.

This is amazing!

Whoo!
