That'd be a 0:01:02.241 --> 0:01:05.641 big get. They're quite nassy year, they're pretty massive. I 0:01:05.761 --> 0:01:06.481 doubt they would. 0:01:09.481 --> 0:01:11.880 Yeah, apparently there's only three women. 0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:16.201 Of the three women in Australia, you were at the 0:01:16.200 --> 0:01:18.240 top of the list. How does it make it? Really 0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:20.401 not at the top of the list, I would say, so. 0:01:20.481 --> 0:01:23.961 I'm a ring inmte.

Oh, 0:01:36.121 --> 0:01:39.240 I thought we both got that email Oh my god, 0:01:39.321 --> 0:01:40.361 that is so good. 0:01:40.521 --> 0:01:43.401 Yeah, they thought we'll get through Christine to get around. 0:01:43.241 --> 0:01:45.921 To They said, let's contact Christians assistant. 0:01:48.801 --> 0:01:51.001 We don't know Sarah's emails and we're going to go 0:01:51.081 --> 0:01:52.001 straight to the source. 0:01:52.321 --> 0:01:52.761 Talk to me. 0:01:53.041 --> 0:01:56.321 Okay, So just a quick explainer. What are we doing? 0:01:56.721 --> 0:01:59.641 Oh my god, we're going to spend twenty four hours 0:02:00.121 --> 0:02:07.521 in the wilderness. First Vibe Camden hashtag. We're going to 0:02:07.601 --> 0:02:08.881 learn all the bush skills. 0:02:10.161 --> 0:02:12.481 What did your family think when you told them. 0:02:12.321 --> 0:02:15.280 Oh, well, what's the oldest one? Max? 0:02:15.361 --> 0:02:16.441 My memory is bad. 0:02:17.441 --> 0:02:19.401 Max said, he's given me ten minutes. 0:02:20.001 --> 0:02:22.441 Did you google to see what the shortest amount of 0:02:22.481 --> 0:02:24.521 time someone has known alone? 0:02:24.641 --> 0:02:24.721 No? 0:02:24.881 --> 0:02:26.081 Have you ever watched it in alone? 0:02:26.121 --> 0:02:26.161 No? 0:02:26.201 --> 0:02:26.761 I've never seen it. 0:02:26.881 --> 0:02:30.161 Oh my god, it's amazed, scared. I see myself as 0:02:30.201 --> 0:02:33.481 an expert now on viewing alone. 0:02:33.921 --> 0:02:35.800 I'm an expert at sitting on the couch and watching 0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:40.641 the show. I am going to say in participating. 0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:43.361 No no no, no, no no no no. It's amazing. 0:02:43.481 --> 0:02:46.281 So ten minutes is about right, so one guy, and 0:02:46.361 --> 0:02:48.801 I think rightly. So for him, he was there for 0:02:48.841 --> 0:02:51.681 maybe twelve hours, so he was dropped. Is that all 0:02:51.881 --> 0:02:55.601 he saw? Black bear pooh and went I'm going to 0:02:55.641 --> 0:02:58.201 be mauled by a bear, and then was unable to 0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:01.400 continue because he was so freaked out. Yes, I don't 0:03:01.401 --> 0:03:03.840 know how they're lasting in the Antarctic with polar bears. 0:03:04.201 --> 0:03:06.601 I don't know either humans. I don't have no, I 0:03:06.641 --> 0:03:07.240 cannot wait. 0:03:07.321 --> 0:03:08.201 So twenty four hours. 0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:14.241 The longest was seventy six days. Seventy six days. 0:03:14.561 --> 0:03:16.881 Do you know the winner of the first season of Australia. 0:03:17.161 --> 0:03:18.241 Her name was Gina Chick. 0:03:18.761 --> 0:03:23.481 She lost twenty kilos or put on twenty kilos before yeah, 0:03:23.601 --> 0:03:24.201 oh my. 0:03:24.081 --> 0:03:27.961 God, genius. So she was in for sixty seven days. 0:03:28.441 --> 0:03:33.041 She was in. So her former partner Lee was on 0:03:33.161 --> 0:03:36.001 Naked and Afraid, So he did three weeks in Naked 0:03:36.041 --> 0:03:39.281 and Afraid and guess who I fucking got into contact. 0:03:39.441 --> 0:03:42.361 Well done, Yes, well done. So it turns out my 0:03:42.481 --> 0:03:46.041 cousin works with Lee. Lee worked in town with Gina 0:03:46.121 --> 0:03:49.481 to come up with her strategy to win alone isn't 0:03:50.041 --> 0:03:51.161 And so my cousin was like, do you want to 0:03:51.201 --> 0:03:53.921 talk to Lee? And I was like, yes, yes, yeah, absolutely, 0:03:53.961 --> 0:03:57.161 I've got so many questions and so I wanted to 0:03:57.161 --> 0:03:58.961 play you some of his answers. 0:03:59.241 --> 0:04:02.161 Hey question thanks for reaching out for your questions. 0:04:02.481 --> 0:04:03.841 I'm actually I'm really excited for you. 0:04:04.121 --> 0:04:06.641 I think that twenty four hours is a good amount 0:04:06.641 --> 0:04:09.241 of time, especially for someone who sounds like you haven't 0:04:09.281 --> 0:04:11.801 done anything like this before. Twenty four hours is a 0:04:11.841 --> 0:04:15.641 decent challenge. I think because of that, I predict there's 0:04:15.681 --> 0:04:17.161 going to be some cool experiences for you in this. 0:04:17.281 --> 0:04:20.401 So I started to The first question that you asked 0:04:20.441 --> 0:04:23.601 was actually what am I doing? And I think that's 0:04:23.601 --> 0:04:26.440 a really worthwhile question to ask when you get out there. 0:04:26.801 --> 0:04:28.841 You know, I say to people, we run vision quests 0:04:28.841 --> 0:04:30.601 where people get four days of solo time. 0:04:30.681 --> 0:04:32.081 I say, just to get a taste of what it's 0:04:32.081 --> 0:04:32.601 going to be like. 0:04:33.161 --> 0:04:35.161 Just look yourself in the bathroom or in the bedroom 0:04:35.201 --> 0:04:37.161 with no reading material or no phone, and see what 0:04:37.201 --> 0:04:38.961 it's like just to spend two hours on your own 0:04:38.961 --> 0:04:40.361 with nothing to distract yourself. 0:04:40.481 --> 0:04:44.841 That's torturous, that's greatat I was like, firstly, gorgeous, Liz. 0:04:45.281 --> 0:04:47.961 I did come up close to the screen so I 0:04:48.001 --> 0:04:49.521 could get a better visual, and. 0:04:49.521 --> 0:04:52.881 I literally went, let's look at Lee's naked in Afraid episode. 0:04:53.001 --> 0:04:55.521 But I tried to do that. I sat in the. 0:04:55.481 --> 0:04:56.801 Bathroom naked in afraid. 0:04:58.601 --> 0:05:04.640 That's what I would call my only fans, but naked 0:05:04.081 --> 0:05:08.641 and out in the bathroom, and I just sat. I 0:05:08.761 --> 0:05:13.241 lasted sixty seconds before I was like no, like goodness 0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:15.321 is so boring, so hard. 0:05:15.241 --> 0:05:15.880 So hard. 0:05:16.001 --> 0:05:18.681 Also, my phone went and I was freaking out. 0:05:18.761 --> 0:05:23.241 Anyway, Mostly what people find is holy crap. My life 0:05:23.281 --> 0:05:27.001 is organized around distractions, and I'm used to just going, going, going, 0:05:27.121 --> 0:05:28.561 focusing on one thing to another. 0:05:29.041 --> 0:05:30.561 If uncomfortable feelings come. 0:05:30.521 --> 0:05:32.440 Up inside me, I check my emails, or I go 0:05:32.521 --> 0:05:35.921 scroll something, or I go buy something online, and we 0:05:35.961 --> 0:05:38.440 realize our culture is set up around distractions, and then 0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:40.721 when we don't have those distractions, it can feel like 0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:43.001 our mind starts to eat yourself a little bit. 0:05:43.041 --> 0:05:44.641 There's a kind of a detox process that. 0:05:44.641 --> 0:05:47.640 Goes on, and so I would say expect maybe for 0:05:47.681 --> 0:05:49.681 there to be some hairy palm moments when you're like, 0:05:49.721 --> 0:05:51.801 holy crap, I don't like this anymore, Get me off 0:05:51.801 --> 0:05:55.361 this ride. I'm not enjoying this roller coaster. In those moments, 0:05:55.361 --> 0:05:56.601 it pays to have a. 0:05:56.521 --> 0:05:58.561 Sense of Okay, why am I here? What am I 0:05:58.601 --> 0:05:59.200 doing this for? 0:05:59.681 --> 0:06:01.681 It has to be ideally some kind of a purpose 0:06:01.721 --> 0:06:04.041 that's beyond myself. So is there someone that I'd like 0:06:04.121 --> 0:06:06.561 to inspire? Is it going to make a difference in 0:06:06.561 --> 0:06:09.121 my life that might have a wider impact? Am I 0:06:09.241 --> 0:06:12.721 going to be helping the world in some way going 0:06:12.761 --> 0:06:14.361 through this ordeal? Is it going to help me to 0:06:14.521 --> 0:06:15.721 give what I got to give the world? 0:06:15.761 --> 0:06:17.641 Or you know, what is it exactly what am I doing? 0:06:17.681 --> 0:06:18.081 And why? 0:06:18.601 --> 0:06:21.841 If you've got that why, it's a lot easier psychologically 0:06:21.961 --> 0:06:24.440 to deal with the distractions and hitting the wall of 0:06:24.961 --> 0:06:27.641 oh my god, I'm actually a modern civilized person that's 0:06:27.681 --> 0:06:30.681 going into detox right now on my own in wild nature. 0:06:31.561 --> 0:06:34.401 So a great question to ask, and I think, Yeah, 0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:35.641 we have a lot to gain. 0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:37.481 From a bit of solitude. It's like, those are the 0:06:37.481 --> 0:06:40.401 times when we get to find out who we are. 0:06:40.561 --> 0:06:42.641 When the dust settles and there aren't one hundred and 0:06:42.681 --> 0:06:45.241 one voices telling us who we should be and who 0:06:45.281 --> 0:06:47.041 we have to be and what the to do list is. 0:06:47.641 --> 0:06:51.440 We start to discover things about ourselves that are important, 0:06:51.481 --> 0:06:53.801 the kind of things that you know, we actually need 0:06:53.841 --> 0:06:57.241 to know about ourselves and meeting ourselves in order to 0:06:57.241 --> 0:06:59.441 feel like we have a fully lived life, in order 0:06:59.521 --> 0:07:00.761 to feel like I can get to the end of 0:07:00.841 --> 0:07:03.721 this journey to my deathbed whenever that will be. 0:07:03.761 --> 0:07:06.761 And feel like, yeah, I met myself and I know myself. 0:07:07.041 --> 0:07:11.761 Oh God. So Lady d he's a psychotherapist and he 0:07:11.881 --> 0:07:15.801 runs rewilding camps. I believe with Gina still. So my 0:07:15.921 --> 0:07:19.761 cousin Michelle, who he works with, did four days alone 0:07:19.841 --> 0:07:21.921 in the wilderness and she said it was like a 0:07:21.961 --> 0:07:25.881 life changing experience. So I was all like, you know 0:07:25.921 --> 0:07:28.321 how I went into Ballei like ha ha ha. And 0:07:28.361 --> 0:07:30.761 then when I listened to what Lee has had to say, 0:07:31.241 --> 0:07:34.161 I've been like, oh, I just don't know if twenty 0:07:34.161 --> 0:07:36.961 four hours is long enough to have that realization because 0:07:36.961 --> 0:07:38.601 it's just going to be panic stations. I've got to 0:07:38.601 --> 0:07:40.361 build a shelter. I've got to make a fire, and 0:07:40.401 --> 0:07:41.681 then I'm like, I'm just going to go to sleep 0:07:41.721 --> 0:07:43.041 and wake up and this whole thing will be over. 0:07:43.321 --> 0:07:47.201 But that's what I think is going to happen. 0:07:47.401 --> 0:07:48.600 That's why I've got the Maui babes. 0:07:50.441 --> 0:07:51.481 That's just a not a bad place. 0:07:51.561 --> 0:07:52.401 Oh my goodness. 0:07:53.281 --> 0:07:55.361 There are some times when I met the places inside 0:07:55.361 --> 0:07:58.761 of me that were difficult or nili, but also the places. 0:07:58.481 --> 0:08:01.001 Has had to meet that are you know, spacious and large. 0:08:01.161 --> 0:08:03.521 Maybe I'll get to meet the enormity of my heart 0:08:03.921 --> 0:08:05.001 or my inspiration on. 0:08:05.241 --> 0:08:06.801 Enjoy in these times as well. 0:08:06.921 --> 0:08:08.881 I would say, don't just look at it on a 0:08:08.881 --> 0:08:11.881 physical level. It's not just about shelter, water, fire, and food. 0:08:12.441 --> 0:08:15.681 There's something bigger that's I think available an opportunity for 0:08:15.721 --> 0:08:17.641 you in this. So I definitely kind of feel into 0:08:17.641 --> 0:08:18.241 what that might. 0:08:18.121 --> 0:08:18.481 Be for you. 0:08:18.841 --> 0:08:22.481 So what he was saying really correlated to what was 0:08:22.521 --> 0:08:25.161 in the SBS brief and that original email. If it's 0:08:25.201 --> 0:08:27.921 not just physical, this is going to be a mental 0:08:28.001 --> 0:08:30.401 challenge you for. 0:08:30.361 --> 0:08:33.001 It though, like do you reckon we after. 0:08:32.801 --> 0:08:37.601 Bali and New Zealand wasn't a mental challenge, But yeah, yes, 0:08:37.841 --> 0:08:39.681 And part of me went, I don't think twenty four 0:08:39.721 --> 0:08:42.481 hours is enough. I kind of wish this was maybe 0:08:42.561 --> 0:08:46.761 forty eight or even three days, because I think once 0:08:46.801 --> 0:08:49.721 you get the shelter done and the fire going, that's 0:08:49.761 --> 0:08:52.241 going to take up the bulk of your time, and 0:08:52.281 --> 0:08:54.881 then you get to sit with yourself and then that's 0:08:54.921 --> 0:08:57.761 when all of that happens, and we won't have the 0:08:57.801 --> 0:09:00.041 distraction of constantly being on our phone. And I think 0:09:00.081 --> 0:09:02.641 the reason why for both of us our memory is 0:09:02.641 --> 0:09:05.561 so shit is because we only do these little things 0:09:05.881 --> 0:09:08.561 and we're always looking at our phone constantly all the time, 0:09:08.601 --> 0:09:10.641 and that ruins your brain. 0:09:12.521 --> 0:09:14.081 I like the idea. 0:09:14.721 --> 0:09:18.681 I like the idea of being on my own no distractions. 0:09:19.561 --> 0:09:24.241 At the Changrala, what you've been the wilderness where there's 0:09:24.281 --> 0:09:27.841 going to be noises, there's going to be potentially animals 0:09:27.881 --> 0:09:31.281 walking across and bringing one loved for though, what the 0:09:31.321 --> 0:09:33.201 wilderness solitude? 0:09:33.441 --> 0:09:36.481 When you're comfortable, you'll just resort to scrolling on TikTok 0:09:36.561 --> 0:09:39.241 At the Changrala, what are you going to do? Sit 0:09:39.321 --> 0:09:41.321 in bed and do nothing. No, you'll be on your 0:09:41.321 --> 0:09:43.241 phone when you're out in the wilderness. 0:09:43.241 --> 0:09:46.681 It's that uncomfortable, very uncomfortable, and so it. 0:09:46.681 --> 0:09:48.761 Forced It changes your brain. You're just operating in a 0:09:48.801 --> 0:09:51.961 completely different space. And I think that's going to be 0:09:52.001 --> 0:09:53.001 incredibly beneficial. 0:09:53.321 --> 0:09:55.761 And I'm really keen to see how I pull up. 0:09:55.761 --> 0:09:58.281 But I'm so keen to see how I go through it. 0:09:58.401 --> 0:10:02.481 Yes, especially when it gets dark, because I'm genuinely terrified 0:10:03.241 --> 0:10:05.561 of the dark alone. 0:10:05.601 --> 0:10:07.241 But we won't be we'll be aligned together. 0:10:07.361 --> 0:10:10.121 Well, now, when I show you what I've brought, you're 0:10:10.121 --> 0:10:12.441 gonna laugh because I've brought something to help me deal 0:10:12.521 --> 0:10:13.921 with oh the dark. 0:10:14.081 --> 0:10:14.441 Okay. 0:10:14.761 --> 0:10:18.721 I then asked the question really of what's the first 0:10:18.721 --> 0:10:20.841 thing I need to do? Like, what do you. 0:10:21.121 --> 0:10:24.121 Suggest as soon as they drop us, what's the first thing? 0:10:24.361 --> 0:10:26.361 So then the next thing you said was, as a 0:10:26.401 --> 0:10:28.201 sunsets first day, what I need to do? 0:10:28.321 --> 0:10:30.001 And you know, in survival terms, on a. 0:10:29.961 --> 0:10:34.001 Logistical level, the physical needs are shelter, water, fire, and food, 0:10:34.041 --> 0:10:35.041 and usually in that order. 0:10:35.081 --> 0:10:35.961 So shelter first. 0:10:36.001 --> 0:10:38.641 We can succumb to hypothermia much faster than we succumb 0:10:38.641 --> 0:10:39.281 to starvation. 0:10:39.441 --> 0:10:41.201 For instance, in. 0:10:41.201 --> 0:10:43.641 Australia, if I assume you're going to be in Australia, 0:10:43.681 --> 0:10:46.441 often fire can be the shelter. It can be the 0:10:46.481 --> 0:10:48.681 only shelter that you need. So I would say, if 0:10:48.721 --> 0:10:51.361 it's just twenty four hours, you might even want to 0:10:51.361 --> 0:10:54.241 think about not really bothering building a long term shelter. 0:10:54.401 --> 0:10:57.641 Those things take a long time to build, days to build. 0:10:57.681 --> 0:11:00.721 Even I would be looking for natural shelter. You know, 0:11:00.841 --> 0:11:02.681 is there like a clump of trees that's going to 0:11:02.721 --> 0:11:05.681 give me some natural shelter, some bushes going to protect 0:11:05.681 --> 0:11:08.281 me from the prevailing winds, some contour in the landscape. 0:11:08.281 --> 0:11:09.441 That's going to give me some shelter. 0:11:10.321 --> 0:11:12.121 If you have a top, you're going to be thinking 0:11:12.161 --> 0:11:13.761 about where can I put that in a way it's 0:11:13.761 --> 0:11:14.041 not going. 0:11:14.001 --> 0:11:16.401 To be flapping around in the wind. It can work 0:11:16.441 --> 0:11:17.441 with the landscape. 0:11:17.761 --> 0:11:20.041 A place on the landscape that's actually going to trap 0:11:20.081 --> 0:11:22.561 some dead air and not be open to the elements 0:11:22.561 --> 0:11:25.441 so much, and definitely not below any big branches that 0:11:25.521 --> 0:11:28.081 might fall on my head. Yeah, you want to think 0:11:28.081 --> 0:11:31.801 about shelter. The shelter might just be fire. If there's 0:11:31.841 --> 0:11:34.041 a lot of firewood around, you might just get a 0:11:34.041 --> 0:11:37.161 big supply for firewood. I've been on survival trips where 0:11:37.361 --> 0:11:39.321 you know, for three weeks, I'm just sleeping by a fire. 0:11:39.801 --> 0:11:41.161 And that was actually the case when I did the 0:11:41.241 --> 0:11:44.121 Nick and Afraid challenge. I was naked sleeping on a fire. 0:11:44.481 --> 0:11:46.921 There were even thunderstorms. But if you make the fire 0:11:46.961 --> 0:11:49.241 big enough, it'll keep you warm and help you to 0:11:49.361 --> 0:11:50.761 dry out even in the rain. 0:11:51.201 --> 0:11:56.481 Okay, I wasn't expecting that fire number one priority well, 0:11:56.561 --> 0:11:59.241 shelter number one. And then if the weather is prevailing, 0:11:59.281 --> 0:12:01.441 which it should be, it's going to be sunny, low 0:12:01.441 --> 0:12:05.601 of seven degrees higher of eighteen, which is great for us. Beautiful, 0:12:05.921 --> 0:12:08.441 just get that fire. But it has been raining and 0:12:08.481 --> 0:12:11.641 it's going to be really damp. Did don tell you 0:12:11.721 --> 0:12:14.001 how to make a fire if it's raining? It's been raining? 0:12:14.081 --> 0:12:14.401 Demo? 0:12:14.681 --> 0:12:16.321 Demo? Yeah, what do you do? 0:12:16.881 --> 0:12:19.841 You get the branches off the trees because they're going 0:12:19.841 --> 0:12:23.321 to be the driest nothing on the ground. Yeah, and 0:12:23.361 --> 0:12:26.201 collect as you go walking collect. 0:12:25.801 --> 0:12:27.961 The Yeah, okay, I did do a bit of a 0:12:28.041 --> 0:12:31.001 Google where it's to chop the sticks in half because 0:12:31.001 --> 0:12:32.841 the inside will be dry. Yes. 0:12:33.441 --> 0:12:36.401 I'm now like switched over to Oh my god, this 0:12:36.561 --> 0:12:38.041 is going to be full on this. 0:12:38.601 --> 0:12:42.241 I was so fun. So when my cousin messaged me, 0:12:42.281 --> 0:12:43.921 I was like, it's twenty hour hours. It'll be fine, 0:12:43.961 --> 0:12:46.001 but may as well. Lee's going to be a wealth 0:12:46.001 --> 0:12:48.201 of knowledge. After listening to Lee, I was like, I 0:12:48.201 --> 0:12:50.401 need to take this fucking seriously. This is going to 0:12:50.441 --> 0:12:53.241 be the most mental and physical challengeable time. If he 0:12:53.761 --> 0:12:55.761 said yeah, I wouldn't do more than twenty four hours, 0:12:55.881 --> 0:12:58.401 I was like, oh, I thought twenty four hours was 0:12:58.441 --> 0:13:00.721 too short. I thought that was going to be too quick. 0:13:01.641 --> 0:13:02.521 Look at your eyes. 0:13:02.681 --> 0:13:04.441 Oh my god, I'm really worried now. 0:13:04.561 --> 0:13:07.721 Yeah, yeah, well that's good. See, it's good to be worried. 0:13:07.961 --> 0:13:10.241 I think it's really good to just have a level 0:13:10.281 --> 0:13:14.361 of concern because the other thing is the animals, because 0:13:14.361 --> 0:13:15.481 I don't want to be I don't want to be 0:13:15.561 --> 0:13:17.801 under trees because I just don't. I want to be 0:13:18.001 --> 0:13:20.041 in the middle of the field, like a grassy field, 0:13:20.081 --> 0:13:22.161 because I don't think there's going to be snakes or 0:13:22.281 --> 0:13:26.521 really spiders with some flowers and yeah, some flowers, but 0:13:26.561 --> 0:13:28.921 also if it's windy, that's the worst place to be. 0:13:29.561 --> 0:13:30.721 How do we shelter up? 0:13:33.841 --> 0:13:36.881 Look, I'm extremely worried. 0:13:37.081 --> 0:13:41.441 It is so funny. I then asked me about food. 0:13:41.761 --> 0:13:43.961 Oh god, have you got any food to take with you? 0:13:44.161 --> 0:13:44.401 Yes? 0:13:44.401 --> 0:13:47.561 Because I saw the video on your socials so you've 0:13:47.601 --> 0:13:48.001 seen me. 0:13:48.281 --> 0:13:48.481 Yeah. 0:13:48.721 --> 0:13:51.041 No, I've only seen the one about the cashew nuts, 0:13:51.081 --> 0:13:53.121 which I went straight to the cabin and got myself 0:13:53.121 --> 0:13:53.601 to cash. 0:13:53.921 --> 0:13:58.841 So I did you salted is very good because we need. 0:13:58.801 --> 0:14:00.961 Salt, strip I thought, okay. 0:14:00.721 --> 0:14:05.521 Well, because I packed fruit roll ups because I thought 0:14:05.561 --> 0:14:06.601 the sugar would be really. 0:14:06.401 --> 0:14:07.241 Oh my god. 0:14:07.681 --> 0:14:10.041 Okay, so yeah, the food question, this is the one 0:14:10.041 --> 0:14:12.681 that always comes up because we're not used to going 0:14:12.681 --> 0:14:15.281 without meals and I'm here to tell you that it's 0:14:15.321 --> 0:14:17.761 totally possible. You could just not worry about food for 0:14:17.761 --> 0:14:18.881 the whole twenty four hours. 0:14:18.721 --> 0:14:19.561 And you will not die. 0:14:19.801 --> 0:14:22.241 You might feel pretty uncoffee, but you're going to be 0:14:22.281 --> 0:14:22.881 just fine. 0:14:23.561 --> 0:14:24.681 I definitely would not. 0:14:24.641 --> 0:14:27.161 Go with the fruit roll up, as delicious as it 0:14:27.241 --> 0:14:29.761 might be, it's going to give your blood sugar level 0:14:29.801 --> 0:14:31.761 a spike, and then you'll get a crash. Afterwards, you 0:14:31.801 --> 0:14:34.161 get the boom and the bust. My advice would be 0:14:34.241 --> 0:14:37.681 take some nuts, something like some really oily fatty nuts, 0:14:37.681 --> 0:14:41.521 like cashews or macadamias. They're about fifty percent oils and 0:14:41.561 --> 0:14:45.441 fats and then a quarter carbohydrates quarter protein. That's the 0:14:45.521 --> 0:14:47.961 kind of food source that's going to give you this nice, 0:14:48.121 --> 0:14:51.881 slow burning calories that won't give you that big slump 0:14:51.921 --> 0:14:54.521 and lead to a food coma. It makes fasting way 0:14:54.601 --> 0:14:56.521 more painful if we're on that kind of boom and 0:14:56.561 --> 0:14:59.001 bus roller coaster. So my advice also would be going 0:14:59.081 --> 0:15:02.601 into the experience if you can have a brecky that's 0:15:02.641 --> 0:15:05.721 going to be you know, low glycemic index sugar spike. 0:15:06.201 --> 0:15:08.681 So it might be something like a bowl of porridge 0:15:08.721 --> 0:15:12.761 with some butter, something like that. It might be some cheese, protein, 0:15:13.201 --> 0:15:15.961 some eggs, something like that, and then along with that, 0:15:16.041 --> 0:15:19.401 have something that's high in fiber, like some stick of 0:15:19.441 --> 0:15:23.521 celery or some salad, a capful of weirdly apple side 0:15:23.521 --> 0:15:26.321 of vinegar in a bunch of water, because the fiber 0:15:26.361 --> 0:15:29.281 and the apple side of vinegar will smooth out the 0:15:29.641 --> 0:15:33.201 peaks and the valleys in your sugar processing, so you'll 0:15:33.241 --> 0:15:35.801 get less of a big sugar crash and less of 0:15:35.841 --> 0:15:37.841 a sugar spike from whatever. The last thing that you 0:15:37.961 --> 0:15:41.721 eat going into that is. That's my advice. You got this, brother, 0:15:41.761 --> 0:15:43.521 It's going to be okay. Some parts of it are 0:15:43.561 --> 0:15:47.161 going to be pretty uncomfyed. Probably, if you can fast beforehand, 0:15:47.161 --> 0:15:48.761 if you can skip out a few meals, do a 0:15:48.801 --> 0:15:53.001 twenty four hour fast, which is just means skipping two meals. Really, 0:15:53.321 --> 0:15:56.241 it's going to really help you out in preparation. Yeah, 0:15:56.361 --> 0:15:59.401 prepare for there to be some food fantasies. I always 0:15:59.401 --> 0:16:02.441 get haunted by. There's one particular all you can eat 0:16:02.521 --> 0:16:04.401 buffet that I went to once when I was living 0:16:04.401 --> 0:16:07.521 in the States. They had like sushi and cakes and 0:16:07.601 --> 0:16:10.601 all these incredible chocolate mooses and desserts and fruit salad, 0:16:10.641 --> 0:16:12.561 and every time I'm out in the bush and I'm 0:16:12.601 --> 0:16:15.001 going through that process where my body is shifting from 0:16:15.481 --> 0:16:19.641 civilized human with ample access to supermarkets to being a 0:16:19.681 --> 0:16:22.401 rewarded human where I'm not getting three square meals a day. 0:16:22.681 --> 0:16:24.721 I get haunted by these all you can eat buffet 0:16:24.801 --> 0:16:27.761 places that I've been to. Yeah, you're going to be fine. 0:16:27.921 --> 0:16:29.481 You're going to be just fine. You're going to come 0:16:29.521 --> 0:16:31.361 out the other end of this with some gifts. I 0:16:31.361 --> 0:16:33.121 think this opportunity is gonna have some gifts for you, 0:16:33.601 --> 0:16:35.721 and I'm excited to hear what they might be. So yeah, 0:16:35.721 --> 0:16:37.201 thanks for reaching out and best of luck. 0:16:37.321 --> 0:16:42.161 Amazing advice. Oh filled me with confidence that like, it's 0:16:42.161 --> 0:16:44.121 going to be scary, it's going to be tough, and 0:16:44.161 --> 0:16:45.961 maybe I want to be in there for longer, which 0:16:46.001 --> 0:16:47.521 is crazy.
