But that's what these bonus 0:00:33.721 --> 0:00:36.721 episodes are going to be showcasing over the course of 0:00:36.760 --> 0:00:39.480 the next few weeks. These bonus episodes are going to 0:00:39.521 --> 0:00:44.040 interrupt our Bali ones because we were offered through SBS Australia, 0:00:44.281 --> 0:00:47.601 the opportunity to head in to the bush for twenty 0:00:47.601 --> 0:00:50.041 four hours. Each week, you're going to hear an update 0:00:50.361 --> 0:01:00.161 of how our alone experience went. This episode picks up 0:01:00.241 --> 0:01:02.320 about six weeks after. 0:01:02.161 --> 0:01:05.201 Our lone experience. Now I want to tell you the 0:01:05.241 --> 0:01:08.200 time of my life, but it's taken Christine six weeks 0:01:08.641 --> 0:01:12.161 before she is willing and able to talk about her 0:01:12.241 --> 0:01:16.841 experience in the wilderness. So i'mi Brisbane, she's in Sydney. 0:01:17.041 --> 0:01:20.440 We jumped on a zoom call to discuss how we 0:01:20.521 --> 0:01:21.681 went on the. 0:01:21.721 --> 0:01:29.601 SBS Alone expedition. Christine, a couple of weeks ago. I 0:01:29.681 --> 0:01:32.520 went through one of the most incredible experiences of my life, 0:01:32.681 --> 0:01:34.681 and you went through what I would call a deep 0:01:34.721 --> 0:01:38.041 trauma and it's taken us quite a considerable amount of 0:01:38.081 --> 0:01:40.280 time before you have been willing to talk to me, 0:01:40.401 --> 0:01:43.160 even though I would like to stress, you've got us 0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:47.080 in SBS emailed you got us into this mess. I 0:01:47.121 --> 0:01:47.561 loved it. 0:01:47.641 --> 0:01:49.921 I hate it every single did you really? 0:01:50.441 --> 0:01:50.841 I did? 0:01:50.921 --> 0:01:51.641 It wasn't for me? 0:01:52.401 --> 0:01:52.561 Why? 0:01:52.721 --> 0:01:55.081 And I said to Gordie as he's driving me out, 0:01:55.201 --> 0:01:57.721 I said, look, please, no disrespect to you and what 0:01:57.761 --> 0:02:00.961 you do. I just you know, it's just not my thing. 0:02:01.041 --> 0:02:03.481 And he goes, you know what I really respect that 0:02:04.241 --> 0:02:06.921 is that's fun. It's not everybody's cup of tea. 0:02:07.201 --> 0:02:10.241 And I said, Samando roll positions and he pushed you. 0:02:10.201 --> 0:02:13.201 Out of the car, taking so lovely. 0:02:13.441 --> 0:02:18.081 So lovely. So Gordo was our trainer and down. What 0:02:18.121 --> 0:02:20.720 were your thoughts when we arrived at like seven am? 0:02:20.841 --> 0:02:23.921 It's really interesting because I think I was an absolute denial, 0:02:24.161 --> 0:02:25.481 Like I keep thinking. 0:02:25.201 --> 0:02:25.800 Back to it. 0:02:26.081 --> 0:02:28.921 What was I actually thinking that was going to be? 0:02:29.201 --> 0:02:29.481 Like? 0:02:29.481 --> 0:02:32.441 Like I really thought, like when we pulled up and 0:02:32.481 --> 0:02:35.401 they said you've now got to walk in for a K, 0:02:35.841 --> 0:02:37.361 I thought, have I ever walked a kay? 0:02:37.881 --> 0:02:39.561 What does a K look like. 0:02:42.401 --> 0:02:43.400 The end of the driveway? 0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:46.481 Is that around like a shopping center? And does that 0:02:46.561 --> 0:02:49.601 include stopping in it shop. I remember you did a 0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:54.121 video which you put online with us me bouncing on 0:02:54.161 --> 0:02:58.121 the bed saying I'm so excited. Like that person on 0:02:58.121 --> 0:03:01.400 that bed had no idea what was about to happen 0:03:01.441 --> 0:03:02.960 to them for twenty four hours. 0:03:03.281 --> 0:03:07.521 But you've watched the show, you read the brief, we 0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:11.881 discussed all of this together. Did you honestly not believe 0:03:11.881 --> 0:03:14.161 a single bar? Because there's a clip there's an audio 0:03:14.201 --> 0:03:16.880 clip that I'm about to play where you're like, qush. 0:03:17.001 --> 0:03:18.281 I thought there was going to be a coffee and 0:03:18.401 --> 0:03:19.321 an ar It's biscuit. 0:03:19.881 --> 0:03:22.961 Indeed, I thought there was going to be like an 0:03:23.001 --> 0:03:29.321 expresso pod machine. I thought that there was going to 0:03:29.401 --> 0:03:32.761 be a buffet of Croissant's danishes. 0:03:32.761 --> 0:03:34.001 Racially cat fruit. 0:03:34.361 --> 0:03:38.041 When we pulled up and I saw the parachute, I thought, well, 0:03:38.041 --> 0:03:41.201 hang on, this is not quite what I thought it 0:03:41.241 --> 0:03:41.681 was going to be. 0:03:41.801 --> 0:03:45.881 Like, oh no, So we walk the kilometer into camp 0:03:46.481 --> 0:03:50.241 and Gordo, who is like ex commando, Actually no, he's 0:03:50.241 --> 0:03:52.041 not x He's still in the military. He was getting 0:03:52.121 --> 0:03:55.361 called from the military. While he was training us. He 0:03:55.481 --> 0:03:57.841 had done a couple of you know, they jump out 0:03:57.841 --> 0:03:59.601 of the back of the plane and all the army 0:03:59.641 --> 0:04:02.561 men and then the parachute just opens instantly, like that's 0:04:02.561 --> 0:04:06.921 what he had done. And the parachute that was our shelter, 0:04:07.241 --> 0:04:11.401 like our group shelter, was one that he had used, 0:04:11.481 --> 0:04:13.961 and it was just it was huge. And that's where 0:04:13.961 --> 0:04:18.241 we sort of congregated initially to begin training. And I 0:04:18.281 --> 0:04:22.601 think what we didn't realize was this was more a 0:04:22.721 --> 0:04:26.561 training camp. It was less about just throwing us into 0:04:26.561 --> 0:04:30.521 the wilderness blind, and we did like proper bush survival. 0:04:30.841 --> 0:04:33.881 When he kept getting phone calls from the army, I'm thinking, well, 0:04:33.921 --> 0:04:38.001 hang on, who gets calls from an army obviously wanting 0:04:38.001 --> 0:04:40.921 you should we be concerned? Is there going to be 0:04:40.961 --> 0:04:42.841 like a bombing happening? What do we need to do? 0:04:44.201 --> 0:04:46.601 He just completely ignored the phone calls and got on 0:04:46.641 --> 0:04:46.761 with it. 0:04:47.361 --> 0:04:50.721 He just like muted them. Sorry, there is a war 0:04:50.761 --> 0:04:52.841 in the Middle East happening right now, are we what's 0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:55.561 going on? Did you enjoy any of the training? 0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:56.041 Oh? 0:04:56.081 --> 0:04:58.880 God, no, So let's talk about me, all right, because 0:04:58.921 --> 0:05:01.921 there I'm thinking, Oh, while we're here, I'll just have 0:05:02.001 --> 0:05:04.760 a little I'll have something to drink. Obviously not a 0:05:04.761 --> 0:05:08.681 broad coffee. I had an instant coffee with no soy milk. 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:12.121 Well milk, So you've put the powdered milk in, thinking, 0:05:12.361 --> 0:05:14.041 I don't know, we're not thinking. 0:05:14.001 --> 0:05:16.200 It was lovely. God, I'd have that again if it 0:05:16.241 --> 0:05:18.441 was lactose free. So then he. 0:05:18.481 --> 0:05:21.760 Showed us, and ten minutes after that, my stomach started, 0:05:22.201 --> 0:05:25.441 just as we're about to do the vampire steak, and 0:05:25.521 --> 0:05:27.081 I thought to myself, I'm gonna have to go to 0:05:27.081 --> 0:05:29.361 the bathroom. I'm gonna have to go and use the 0:05:29.361 --> 0:05:31.280 hole in the ground. I'm going to be the first 0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:35.001 one to do this, how embarrassing. First, I could hardly 0:05:35.121 --> 0:05:36.761 find the location. 0:05:37.641 --> 0:05:41.161 Paflaged with Hessian. It is just a hole with some 0:05:41.241 --> 0:05:45.161 trees around it and this thin sea through bit of Hessian. Yeah. 0:05:45.241 --> 0:05:49.241 So anyway, I go in after, you know, very carefully 0:05:49.281 --> 0:05:51.520 listening to what he said, because I took that on 0:05:51.921 --> 0:05:59.801 like I really go to toilet, because if it's gonna 0:05:59.801 --> 0:06:02.921 happen to anyone, it's gonna happen to me, let's be honest. 0:06:02.961 --> 0:06:06.121 So in I went, and I thought, now just got. 0:06:06.001 --> 0:06:07.001 To do what he said. 0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:11.001 I'm telling you that experience was traumatizing. The way in 0:06:11.081 --> 0:06:13.760 which I had to then use that bathroom. There was 0:06:14.041 --> 0:06:18.681 at the top of that trench a stick that stood up, 0:06:19.081 --> 0:06:22.121 so you had to then put the toilet paper that 0:06:22.201 --> 0:06:22.761 you just. 0:06:22.961 --> 0:06:26.841 Use whilst squatting. And mind you, I couldn't squat for 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:28.041 that period of time. 0:06:28.481 --> 0:06:31.361 My legs were burning, so there I am trying to 0:06:31.481 --> 0:06:34.561 light the match, trying to then get it with the 0:06:34.641 --> 0:06:39.601 toilet paper to them. 0:06:39.681 --> 0:06:42.960 What was just absolutely horrendous. 0:06:43.561 --> 0:06:46.001 And then I'm thinking, oh God, everyone's going to know 0:06:46.041 --> 0:06:48.481 what I've just gone and done. Everyone's going to think. 0:06:48.361 --> 0:06:51.161 Oh, well, there in the hole and I had. 0:06:51.081 --> 0:06:54.081 To then cover it over. I'm feeling like a feline cat. 0:06:54.241 --> 0:06:55.041 I'm thinking, this is. 0:06:55.041 --> 0:07:00.921 What I'm knowing. You you're not getting in there with 0:07:00.961 --> 0:07:02.801 your hands, You're kicking the dirty with your. 0:07:02.721 --> 0:07:07.001 Feet with these going to be doing that, I don't think. 0:07:07.041 --> 0:07:10.401 So it's just it absolutely makes me crack up to 0:07:10.441 --> 0:07:12.881 think back to New Zealand when you were so excited 0:07:12.881 --> 0:07:14.641 to tell me that we've been offered to do this 0:07:14.681 --> 0:07:17.201 with three years and you were, like me, the greatest 0:07:17.201 --> 0:07:17.801 thing of all time. 0:07:19.721 --> 0:07:22.521 Trauma caused you nothing but trauma. 0:07:22.681 --> 0:07:24.641 I want to play a clip which is toward the 0:07:24.721 --> 0:07:26.521 end of the day. Bear in mind we arrived at 0:07:26.561 --> 0:07:32.001 seven am and by four pm we were still in training, Christian. 0:07:32.041 --> 0:07:34.401 It never stopped from the moment we got out of 0:07:34.401 --> 0:07:38.161 that Mercedes Black van to the moment that night I 0:07:38.281 --> 0:07:39.441 was absolutely naked. 0:07:39.521 --> 0:07:40.961 It did not let up. 0:07:46.721 --> 0:07:50.321 It's four o'clock the sunsets and half an hour and 0:07:50.321 --> 0:07:53.241 we're still in training. I'll tell you I want to 0:07:53.241 --> 0:07:56.761 be alone. I tell you alone, we're still in the group. 0:07:57.121 --> 0:08:01.601 With all respect given provided great, let us be alone. 0:08:01.921 --> 0:08:04.041 Just let me go and put my tea up, get 0:08:04.081 --> 0:08:05.481 me in to go to bed. 0:08:05.561 --> 0:08:07.801 We've done to practice fire arounds. We've got one more 0:08:07.841 --> 0:08:12.681 emergency practice fire around put up. We did break for lunch, 0:08:13.121 --> 0:08:15.081 but now we've got to go and actually do our 0:08:15.121 --> 0:08:16.441 own fire and turn set up. 0:08:18.401 --> 0:08:20.441 Correct you there. Now I've got to put your tent up, 0:08:20.961 --> 0:08:22.841 and I've got to like Christmas. But then I've got 0:08:22.841 --> 0:08:23.441 to do my own. 0:08:24.481 --> 0:08:25.521 Oh it's so long. 0:08:25.801 --> 0:08:30.601 This is like, I'm so tired. But that's cool with it, 0:08:30.601 --> 0:08:31.961 because we'll just go to bed and wake up. 0:08:31.921 --> 0:08:37.721 And look at my nails. Look at my hands. 0:08:36.001 --> 0:08:43.001 Compared to mine, Christy, yours a bone dry. 0:08:43.161 --> 0:08:44.561 I've had enough now I actually have. 0:08:44.721 --> 0:08:46.361 I just want to go and set my tent up 0:08:46.681 --> 0:08:49.521 and put my head and I've got decorations to put up, 0:08:49.521 --> 0:08:51.041 We've got the gloss text to put up. 0:08:51.641 --> 0:08:52.601 I'm not feeling. 0:08:54.761 --> 0:08:56.441 I just can't need to learn how to catch fish, 0:08:56.521 --> 0:09:03.161 and I'm not can I do it alone? The sun 0:09:03.361 --> 0:09:05.041 is literally going to set in half an hour. 0:09:05.201 --> 0:09:09.241 I can get an orange and we need there's a 0:09:09.241 --> 0:09:10.041 fruit ball that we can. 0:09:17.201 --> 0:09:21.081 What are the thoughts on the fire situation? Building a fire? 0:09:21.561 --> 0:09:22.521 Did I build one? 0:09:25.081 --> 0:09:25.281 Yeah? 0:09:26.681 --> 0:09:29.001 I mean you get it to go or I didn't 0:09:29.041 --> 0:09:30.601 have to light yours. You did build one, you just 0:09:30.601 --> 0:09:33.041 struggled to light it. I just thought it was fucking 0:09:33.241 --> 0:09:36.241 so cool that hole. You go out and you collect 0:09:36.281 --> 0:09:39.441 the different thicknesses of the sticks. You put them into 0:09:39.441 --> 0:09:43.081 these sort of organized bubs. Your face, you're just like 0:09:43.121 --> 0:09:45.081 when is this podcast going to be over? And you 0:09:45.121 --> 0:09:47.681 put them into the different sized bundles. We were told 0:09:47.721 --> 0:09:50.121 to go and peel off this bark. Forget the name 0:09:50.161 --> 0:09:53.801 of the tree, but it's like really powdery, stringy, and 0:09:53.801 --> 0:09:55.161 then you curl it into a ball. 0:09:57.041 --> 0:09:59.801 And then I inhaled it. I thought I can do these, 0:09:59.881 --> 0:10:00.561 I can get. 0:10:00.481 --> 0:10:01.961 Bark off the tree. So I did. 0:10:02.121 --> 0:10:05.361 And then as I'm like peeling off the bar from 0:10:05.401 --> 0:10:08.881 this tree, all this dust of the bat and I'm 0:10:08.921 --> 0:10:15.321 inhaling it. This is not going to be good for 0:10:15.361 --> 0:10:15.921 the lungs. 0:10:16.241 --> 0:10:19.521 No, because it's so the bark is so dry and 0:10:19.561 --> 0:10:22.921 it's so stringy. You scratch it into a ball and 0:10:22.961 --> 0:10:24.921 then you've got to twist this ball to get rid 0:10:24.961 --> 0:10:27.441 of all that dust, and you just get soaked in 0:10:27.481 --> 0:10:30.161 it and it's like on your hands. It's really dry. 0:10:30.721 --> 0:10:32.601 You know. That's how you light the fire with the 0:10:32.681 --> 0:10:36.841 flint because it's just going to ignite so easily. And 0:10:36.881 --> 0:10:40.481 then what you do is you add the bundles of 0:10:40.481 --> 0:10:42.281 sticks on sort of one at a time and they 0:10:42.361 --> 0:10:45.721 get bigger in thickness, and then you've built this incredible fire. 0:10:46.201 --> 0:10:48.881 I just thought that was the most incredible lesson to learn. 0:10:49.041 --> 0:10:52.201 I would never be able to do that without sort 0:10:52.241 --> 0:10:53.681 of Gordo's teachings. 0:10:53.761 --> 0:10:56.081 And then waite, where were you going to use that again? 0:10:56.441 --> 0:10:58.801 I mean, it's great to know and I think fantastic, 0:10:58.881 --> 0:11:01.281 but is there going to be a life skill for you? 0:11:01.681 --> 0:11:05.321 So just to remind you to see currently airing is 0:11:05.521 --> 0:11:08.761 I think season six us in Bali.

And I say, what 0:12:40.321 --> 0:12:43.001 you saw is what it was really like. There was 0:12:43.041 --> 0:12:46.521 no somebody standing in and pretending that they were made 0:12:46.521 --> 0:12:49.481 to go and do the fishing or potentially the gutting 0:12:49.521 --> 0:12:52.081 of any sort of fit that was pulled out of that. 0:12:52.361 --> 0:12:55.721 We should mention we were there with nine other people 0:12:55.921 --> 0:12:57.481 or eight other people who. 0:13:01.081 --> 0:13:03.641 Do this. There was a whole kind of scope of 0:13:03.681 --> 0:13:04.601 people though. 0:13:04.601 --> 0:13:08.321 Oh definitely wasn't It was basically all ten of us, 0:13:08.641 --> 0:13:14.961 seven Bush survivalists and Chrissy myself and absolutely gorgeous I 0:13:15.001 --> 0:13:17.681 forget her name, girl from Pedestrian TV. 0:13:18.081 --> 0:13:18.641 Oh my god. 0:13:18.761 --> 0:13:21.521 She was amazing now that which was annoying. 0:13:21.761 --> 0:13:25.121 She'd never done anything like this before. There was Josh Neil, 0:13:25.201 --> 0:13:27.201 he's very famous, the one bat guy. He is a 0:13:27.241 --> 0:13:27.961 fucking hurt. 0:13:28.561 --> 0:13:29.641 He's so funny. 0:13:29.761 --> 0:13:32.601 He is just But also if you don't know him. 0:13:32.641 --> 0:13:35.201 He's like very famous online. He has a sort of 0:13:35.241 --> 0:13:38.361 a warm bat sanctuary he looks after he rescues animals. 0:13:38.881 --> 0:13:41.441 He used to be a stripper. His real oka lives 0:13:41.481 --> 0:13:44.841 in the country. There's no bullshit to him. She's so 0:13:44.881 --> 0:13:47.121 funny because he's like, he goes, I live a weird 0:13:47.161 --> 0:13:49.161 life because he goes and works out for a big 0:13:49.201 --> 0:13:52.481 gas corporation. So it's like I'm working with this gas 0:13:52.481 --> 0:13:55.961 corporation mining and then rescuing animals. Like it's just such 0:13:56.001 --> 0:13:58.521 such a different life between the two of him. 0:13:59.121 --> 0:14:01.681 He was a ball of energy from the moment we 0:14:01.761 --> 0:14:05.401 got there till like the left, like his level is, it's. 0:14:05.281 --> 0:14:10.281 Always at fifty five thousand. There was no none, like, 0:14:10.401 --> 0:14:14.001 no calmness, none, and he was go, go go, and 0:14:14.041 --> 0:14:17.641 he definitely adhd and just like everything was happening, and 0:14:17.681 --> 0:14:19.121 he'd be like, right now, I'm going to go out 0:14:19.121 --> 0:14:21.161 and look for spiders. And he just went out into 0:14:21.201 --> 0:14:23.641 the wilderness and just lifted up rocks and no gloves, 0:14:23.681 --> 0:14:26.881 no nothing, just turning over, looked, poking, prodding, looking at 0:14:27.081 --> 0:14:29.481 like sticking his head into wombat holes like he had 0:14:29.521 --> 0:14:33.841 no fear. We weren't really alone at any stage of this. 0:14:34.201 --> 0:14:35.721 We just sort of went in. We learned our bush 0:14:35.761 --> 0:14:39.521 survival skills, and then they assigned us these little camp sections. 0:14:39.601 --> 0:14:42.761 But like I could see Lotty, I did request can 0:14:42.801 --> 0:14:45.921 I be really close to Christine otherwise she probably will die? 0:14:47.441 --> 0:14:49.321 And they were like, oh no, yeah, we were going 0:14:49.401 --> 0:14:52.001 to ask you that maybe you two camp together because 0:14:52.001 --> 0:14:55.681 we're quite concerned about her. But Josh went off just 0:14:56.281 --> 0:14:58.761 into the wilderness and at one point you hear this 0:14:58.921 --> 0:15:05.081 incredibly large explosion, like this really loud bang, and it 0:15:05.201 --> 0:15:09.121 was so loud. He had got river rocks, which is 0:15:09.161 --> 0:15:12.081 something that they're doing alone which sort of keeps the 0:15:12.121 --> 0:15:14.801 heat in the fire and it's really good for warmth, 0:15:15.081 --> 0:15:17.361 and he put it in the fire. Now when it's 0:15:17.401 --> 0:15:21.681 still wet, the water expands into steam and it explodes 0:15:21.721 --> 0:15:25.721 the rock. And so just a rock exploded, and he 0:15:25.801 --> 0:15:27.521 was like, oh, so lucky you didn't hit me, like 0:15:27.561 --> 0:15:30.961 could have killed him. 0:15:28.761 --> 0:15:29.001 Yeah. 0:15:31.201 --> 0:15:33.561 He was just such a character. And then Lottie, who 0:15:33.641 --> 0:15:36.241 was on my favorite show that I keep calling the 0:15:36.321 --> 0:15:39.601 National Portrait Prize. Anyway, she I didn't know it was 0:15:39.641 --> 0:15:40.881 on fucking Survivor. 0:15:41.361 --> 0:15:43.721 I know, it wasn't that funny when she said that 0:15:43.801 --> 0:15:44.561 I went really. 0:15:44.721 --> 0:15:46.081 I was like, oh my god, we're the only two 0:15:46.081 --> 0:15:49.241 people here that have really no skills whatsoever. And everyone 0:15:49.241 --> 0:15:52.281 else was like thriving, I want to play you a 0:15:52.281 --> 0:15:55.401 piece of audio, which was after we had learned that 0:15:55.521 --> 0:15:59.041 our shelter was going to be a poncho, which remember 0:15:59.121 --> 0:16:00.601 that was on the list, and I was like, I 0:16:00.601 --> 0:16:02.601 think they mean, is that another word for a top hole? 0:16:02.641 --> 0:16:05.721 It No, it's a literal piece of brick with a 0:16:05.801 --> 0:16:07.841 hole in the middle that you put your head through. 0:16:07.881 --> 0:16:10.361 And that's what sits on an angle like. It's just 0:16:10.401 --> 0:16:12.761 a rectangular piece of fabric that we learned to put 0:16:12.841 --> 0:16:14.161 up that we're going to sleep under. 0:16:17.281 --> 0:16:21.081 We've just set up. Now shell it out my back. 0:16:21.161 --> 0:16:21.961 Here's my feet. 0:16:21.961 --> 0:16:24.561 I had a cramp in my foot. I just can't 0:16:24.561 --> 0:16:27.361 do much more. I'll have stretched myself today. I just 0:16:27.401 --> 0:16:29.841 cannot do it anymore. I'm so exaus. 0:16:30.201 --> 0:16:33.201 I'm pretty proud of my setup. Are you proud of yours? 0:16:33.561 --> 0:16:36.881 Well, let's talk about your setup, shall we? Because your 0:16:36.961 --> 0:16:39.401 setup is remarkably different to mine. 0:16:39.721 --> 0:16:42.961 Yeah, that's because I've put effort and thought into this experience. 0:16:43.001 --> 0:16:47.721 Although you've got that down your mate John, No, it's 0:16:47.721 --> 0:16:51.241 his amo dem o, He's paicked your bag as if 0:16:51.241 --> 0:16:53.201 you're an army care death you. Is he? 0:16:53.401 --> 0:16:56.041 Okay? He hasn't packed your bag for Christy who No, 0:16:56.201 --> 0:16:56.721 he has it all. 0:16:57.241 --> 0:17:00.681 He did put the incontinence products into that act? Is he. 0:17:03.041 --> 0:17:03.321 And you? 0:17:03.401 --> 0:17:05.001 At this point, it was like five point thirty pm 0:17:05.361 --> 0:17:07.920 and we were quite exhausted from a long day. And 0:17:07.961 --> 0:17:10.240 then they let us go back to set up our 0:17:10.241 --> 0:17:12.920 camp and I was like, oh, thank god, We're finally done. 0:17:14.120 --> 0:17:16.201 And then it was time for fishing. 0:17:16.561 --> 0:17:20.680 So prior to getting into the black van the Mercedes, 0:17:21.241 --> 0:17:24.720 my beautiful friend Donna. She gave me a little bottle 0:17:24.761 --> 0:17:28.041 of champagne and I said, how fantastic is that. 0:17:28.160 --> 0:17:29.600 I'm going to sit back. 0:17:29.880 --> 0:17:34.121 Watch the fire, wait for my dinner to arrive so 0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:36.801 I can sit down and enjoy it on my knee 0:17:36.840 --> 0:17:39.961 with my glass of champagne. Oh no, nothing like that. 0:17:40.360 --> 0:17:42.521 They said, Okay, now we're going down to the water 0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:46.720 and we're going to fish. And I'm thinking fish, What 0:17:46.761 --> 0:17:48.840 do you mean? Does that not just come on a 0:17:48.880 --> 0:17:50.720 plate to me so I can eat it with my 0:17:50.721 --> 0:17:51.841 bottle of champagne? 0:17:53.281 --> 0:17:57.041 Guys, where's the urn and the arnets and the pastry spread? 0:17:57.321 --> 0:17:58.401 When do we bring that out? 0:17:58.681 --> 0:18:01.720 But remember how Gordo said, we want to put you 0:18:01.801 --> 0:18:05.720 outside your comfort zone. We want to just stretch you. 0:18:06.281 --> 0:18:08.840 And I'm thinking, okay, well, you've not given us a 0:18:08.921 --> 0:18:12.041 lunch break. Really, it's continued all day. 0:18:12.441 --> 0:18:15.680 And now I have to get up and go and fish. 0:18:15.961 --> 0:18:16.881 I don't think so. 0:18:17.080 --> 0:18:18.840 I think you've glossing over it. They definitely did give 0:18:18.921 --> 0:18:20.600 us a lunch break, and it was the most delicious 0:18:20.721 --> 0:18:21.921 wraps that we'd ever had. 0:18:22.281 --> 0:18:24.721 Well, that was trauma, so I've obviously blanked that out. 0:18:25.080 --> 0:18:26.801 We had a break and they gave us fruit and 0:18:26.840 --> 0:18:28.801 look to be fan of Gordo. This is usually a 0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:33.561 two day camp, crammed into twelve hours instead of forty eight, 0:18:34.201 --> 0:18:36.801 so it was incredibly full on. We learned how to 0:18:36.840 --> 0:18:40.801 fish with nothing, how to filter water with just the canvas. 0:18:41.120 --> 0:18:44.640 But at seven pm, like we were so well, Christy 0:18:44.681 --> 0:18:46.600 and I were, the rest of the crew were down 0:18:46.600 --> 0:18:49.001 there having the best time, all the other survivalists. 0:18:49.281 --> 0:18:52.561 I just remember you going, my back's really bad. My 0:18:52.640 --> 0:18:55.121 back's really bad. I have to lay down, and there 0:18:55.201 --> 0:18:59.321 you are on this boulder while they're all down there 0:18:59.321 --> 0:19:02.640 by this creek. I'm standing there going I've had enough. 0:19:02.681 --> 0:19:04.880 Now I need to go. Where's my car picking me 0:19:04.961 --> 0:19:06.680 up up to take me to the Camden Valley In 0:19:08.921 --> 0:19:13.281 you're flat on this moss account walk. 0:19:13.921 --> 0:19:16.441 People are looking. I'm thinking, it's okay, he's fine. 0:19:16.360 --> 0:19:19.120 Pitch flack, mind you. We've all got headlamps on. So 0:19:19.360 --> 0:19:21.801 like what happened was we walked down to the creek, 0:19:21.840 --> 0:19:24.720 which is down this really steep embankment, but the flat 0:19:24.921 --> 0:19:27.680 surface next to the creek is where Gordo was presenting. 0:19:27.761 --> 0:19:30.400 So we're all up on this hill like we're all 0:19:30.441 --> 0:19:33.801 standing on this angle, and my back started spasming. I 0:19:33.840 --> 0:19:35.720 was in so much agony, and I was like, I 0:19:35.761 --> 0:19:37.801 want to go, like I actually want to go because 0:19:37.840 --> 0:19:40.481 I'm fine with not eating, Like I mean so much pain. 0:19:40.561 --> 0:19:43.201 I need to go back to set up my inflatable mattress. 0:19:43.321 --> 0:19:44.880 I got my fairy lights. I had my I was 0:19:44.880 --> 0:19:48.321 happy with my fire and the fairy lights. I couldn't 0:19:48.321 --> 0:19:49.880 because I had no fucking idea where we were because 0:19:49.880 --> 0:19:51.681 it was pitch black. And we walked to this creek 0:19:51.721 --> 0:19:54.041
