00:00:00.166 --> 00:00:02.302
- [Narrator] Hunters have
always been the first

2
00:00:02.302 --> 00:00:04.437
to venture into the wilderness.

3
00:00:04.437 --> 00:00:07.107
Whether driven by necessity
or a thirst for adventure,

4
00:00:07.107 --> 00:00:09.309
brothers Chris and Casey
Keefer pit themselves

5
00:00:09.309 --> 00:00:12.278
as hunters and survivors
in some of the world's

6
00:00:12.278 --> 00:00:16.716
most dangerous and
unpredictable landscapes.

7
00:00:16.716 --> 00:00:20.653
Now, they face the punishing
New Zealand wilderness.

8
00:00:20.653 --> 00:00:22.422
Dropped with only the
clothes on their backs,

9
00:00:22.422 --> 00:00:24.924
the brothers only chance
of survival is to locate

10
00:00:24.924 --> 00:00:26.693
supply yielding caches placed

11
00:00:26.693 --> 00:00:29.195
by the producers
throughout their journey.

12
00:00:29.195 --> 00:00:31.898
To acquire them, the
brothers must beat the clock

13
00:00:31.898 --> 00:00:35.168
and survive the gauntlet that
is the New Zealand wilderness

14
00:00:35.168 --> 00:00:37.103
with virtually nothing.

15
00:00:39.072 --> 00:00:42.308
♪ Amazing grace

16
00:00:42.308 --> 00:00:45.712
♪ What sweet the sound

17
00:00:45.712 --> 00:00:49.315
♪ See her dressed in white

18
00:00:52.318 --> 00:00:55.455
♪ I once was lost

19
00:00:55.455 --> 00:00:59.259
♪ But now I'm found

20
00:00:59.259 --> 00:01:03.430
♪ You're amazing grace
and a soft, cotton lace

21
00:01:14.641 --> 00:01:16.142
- [Narrator] Early
settlers introduced several

22
00:01:16.142 --> 00:01:18.545
invasive species to New
Zealand's wilderness

23
00:01:18.545 --> 00:01:21.948
which have ruthlessly disrupted
the island's ecosystem.

24
00:01:21.948 --> 00:01:24.751
The native flora and fauna
have been unable to adapt

25
00:01:24.751 --> 00:01:26.753
to the introduction
of invasive pests

26
00:01:26.753 --> 00:01:29.856
such as pigs, goats,
stoats, and rats

27
00:01:31.758 --> 00:01:33.827
who compete for
limited resources.

28
00:01:33.827 --> 00:01:35.829
The once thriving
native ecosystem

29
00:01:35.829 --> 00:01:38.998
has been decimated by
these unwelcome species

30
00:01:38.998 --> 00:01:40.934
and will limit the
brothers' opportunities

31
00:01:40.934 --> 00:01:43.603
to find adequate food resources.

32
00:01:52.245 --> 00:01:54.414
- [Casey] Good morning.

33
00:01:54.414 --> 00:01:55.315
- [Chris] What's up?

34
00:01:55.315 --> 00:01:56.416
- [Casey] Nothing.

35
00:01:56.416 --> 00:01:57.817
- Sleep all right?

36
00:01:57.817 --> 00:02:00.386
- I got all these bites.

37
00:02:00.386 --> 00:02:01.821
- [Chris] I didn't
get bit last night.

38
00:02:01.821 --> 00:02:05.358
I was wrapped in that
thing like hotdog.

39
00:02:05.358 --> 00:02:06.793
- I tell you what:

40
00:02:06.793 --> 00:02:10.330
when we lose sun, we
lose sun for a long time.

41
00:02:10.330 --> 00:02:12.799
I mean it's not like
we're in a range

42
00:02:12.799 --> 00:02:14.334
that runs east to west.

43
00:02:14.334 --> 00:02:17.203
It rises behind the mountains
and sets behind the mountains.

44
00:02:17.203 --> 00:02:19.439
We have it like a brief window.

45
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:22.375
- It's still not all the way up.

46
00:02:22.375 --> 00:02:24.477
- [Casey] You wanna get
coal in here or what?

47
00:02:24.477 --> 00:02:26.012
- Or at least try to.

48
00:02:26.012 --> 00:02:28.248
- Oh, you hear that?
- [Chris] What?

49
00:02:28.248 --> 00:02:31.017
- [Chris] I was
wondering what that was.

50
00:02:31.017 --> 00:02:32.852
'Cause we didn't get
our thing last night.

51
00:02:32.852 --> 00:02:34.954
- No, we didn't
get it last night.

52
00:02:34.954 --> 00:02:36.055
- [Chris] We usually
get it when we validate,

53
00:02:36.055 --> 00:02:37.790
and we didn't get it.

54
00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:41.694
What do you got?

55
00:02:41.694 --> 00:02:43.630
- [Casey] This is...hold
on a second here.

56
00:02:43.630 --> 00:02:46.032
- [Chris] Is it confusing or?

57
00:02:47.433 --> 00:02:50.270
- It says we have
two caches ahead,

58
00:02:50.270 --> 00:02:52.272
but we have to pick one.

59
00:02:52.272 --> 00:02:54.307
"Take the high, hard
road and be rewarded,

60
00:02:54.307 --> 00:02:57.310
"or raft the river
and find luxury."

61
00:02:57.310 --> 00:03:00.013
- We have to be at
the next cache today?

62
00:03:00.013 --> 00:03:01.714
- [Casey] Yeah.

63
00:03:01.714 --> 00:03:03.082
- "Or be rewarded."

64
00:03:03.082 --> 00:03:05.518
I'd like to be
rewarded with luxury.

65
00:03:05.518 --> 00:03:06.486
How does that happen?

66
00:03:06.486 --> 00:03:07.720
We have to pick one?

67
00:03:07.720 --> 00:03:09.389
We can't split and
go to both of them.

68
00:03:09.389 --> 00:03:10.623
- No.

69
00:03:10.623 --> 00:03:12.325
We have to pick one.

70
00:03:12.325 --> 00:03:14.494
- [Chris] Are they both
the same distance away?

71
00:03:14.494 --> 00:03:17.931
- It says we've got
one mile and one mile.

72
00:03:17.931 --> 00:03:20.066
- [Chris] One by foot
and one by water.

73
00:03:20.066 --> 00:03:21.501
- [Narrator] Chris and
Casey's third cache

74
00:03:21.501 --> 00:03:23.937
will test the brother's
ability to cooperate.

75
00:03:23.937 --> 00:03:26.506
The hard road cache is tucked
away high in the foothills

76
00:03:26.506 --> 00:03:28.508
above the brothers'
current location.

77
00:03:28.508 --> 00:03:30.877
While the river cache is
located a mile downriver

78
00:03:30.877 --> 00:03:33.112
buried deep in a gravel bar.

79
00:03:33.112 --> 00:03:35.014
With only six hours
to find either,

80
00:03:35.014 --> 00:03:39.986
the brothers must choose one
quickly or risk losing both.

81
00:03:39.986 --> 00:03:42.322
- If we go by foot,
we come back here.

82
00:03:42.322 --> 00:03:44.190
If we go by water,
we're moving again.

83
00:03:44.190 --> 00:03:46.359
We have no idea what
we're gonna get into.

84
00:03:46.359 --> 00:03:48.528
I say we stick with
the plan that we had.

85
00:03:48.528 --> 00:03:52.332
I would rather stay in this
camp and hunt this valley.

86
00:03:52.332 --> 00:03:55.301
And go up hard and see
if we can't find it.

87
00:03:55.301 --> 00:03:58.438
- Yeah, but luxury,
what could be luxury?

88
00:03:58.438 --> 00:03:59.939
- [Narrator] Chris's
frustration mounts

89
00:03:59.939 --> 00:04:03.009
with each passing second as
Casey weighs the options.

90
00:04:03.009 --> 00:04:04.477
- That ticking right now?

91
00:04:04.477 --> 00:04:06.346
- Right now we have to choose.

92
00:04:06.346 --> 00:04:10.850
- So I say we grab our
gear, and let's hoof it.

93
00:04:10.850 --> 00:04:12.619
High, hard road.

94
00:04:12.619 --> 00:04:13.786
Hunt our way there.

95
00:04:13.786 --> 00:04:16.789
- If we take the
river, we could fish.

96
00:04:16.789 --> 00:04:19.325
- Yeah, but we got
rabbits along the way.

97
00:04:19.325 --> 00:04:21.694
And you're gonna let the
first fish go anyway.

98
00:04:21.694 --> 00:04:23.096
- True, true.

99
00:04:23.096 --> 00:04:24.397
- Let's be honest.

100
00:04:24.397 --> 00:04:25.632
We're gonna find a fish,

101
00:04:25.632 --> 00:04:26.866
and you're gonna
let him go anyway.

102
00:04:26.866 --> 00:04:30.136
So I say we just forget
that entire situation,

103
00:04:30.136 --> 00:04:31.537
and let's go this way.

104
00:04:31.537 --> 00:04:33.706
Rabbits, food, and reward.

105
00:04:36.109 --> 00:04:37.210
- But luxury?

106
00:04:38.645 --> 00:04:41.581
I have to assume that's
gonna be a pretty nice...

107
00:04:41.581 --> 00:04:43.516
- Well, that's my vote.

108
00:04:44.517 --> 00:04:46.452
Gonna throw that out there.

109
00:04:46.452 --> 00:04:47.387
I just don't wanna leave.

110
00:04:47.387 --> 00:04:48.321
I don't wanna hit the water.

111
00:04:48.321 --> 00:04:49.689
I don't wanna get in the raft.

112
00:04:49.689 --> 00:04:53.026
And if we go this way,
we can hunt our way.

113
00:04:53.026 --> 00:04:54.994
And we never take the low road.

114
00:04:54.994 --> 00:04:56.462
Let's go.

115
00:04:56.462 --> 00:04:57.630
- [Narrator] The longer
the brothers take to decide

116
00:04:57.630 --> 00:05:01.134
the less time they
have to find the cache.

117
00:05:03.569 --> 00:05:05.271
Chris and Casey
Keefer have been given

118
00:05:05.271 --> 00:05:07.073
six hours to find and
validate one of two

119
00:05:07.073 --> 00:05:08.608
equipment caches.

120
00:05:08.608 --> 00:05:10.843
The longer it takes for
them to come to a decision

121
00:05:10.843 --> 00:05:14.113
the less time they
have to find either.

122
00:05:18.084 --> 00:05:19.886
- All right, well,
this is the first time

123
00:05:19.886 --> 00:05:24.057
that Casey and I have had
to kind of make a decision.

124
00:05:25.558 --> 00:05:27.193
- You know, we've got
the option right now

125
00:05:27.193 --> 00:05:29.862
to either raft or hike.

126
00:05:29.862 --> 00:05:31.197
- We have a bow.

127
00:05:32.498 --> 00:05:33.666
And I wanna use it.

128
00:05:33.666 --> 00:05:36.169
- You need to set limitations,

129
00:05:36.169 --> 00:05:39.605
and you need to have
realistic expectations.

130
00:05:39.605 --> 00:05:41.541
- I'm kind of more,
"Let's rock and roll.

131
00:05:41.541 --> 00:05:43.209
"Let's go do it right now."

132
00:05:43.209 --> 00:05:45.778
Casey's more of a, " Let's
sit back and think about it

133
00:05:45.778 --> 00:05:48.614
"for a second, and then
let's assess the situation."

134
00:05:48.614 --> 00:05:50.917
And I don't think we
have time to do that.

135
00:05:50.917 --> 00:05:52.352
- And if there's one
thing that I've learned

136
00:05:52.352 --> 00:05:55.388
in all of my time out
here, it's don't be a hero.

137
00:05:55.388 --> 00:05:58.791
Don't get five, six,
seven miles off the river.

138
00:05:58.791 --> 00:06:00.293
- I want to go hunting.

139
00:06:00.293 --> 00:06:02.228
You know he's thinking, "Hey,
let's just fish down there."

140
00:06:02.228 --> 00:06:03.463
I know that.

141
00:06:03.463 --> 00:06:05.932
Let's put in the extra
effort; let's crush it.

142
00:06:05.932 --> 00:06:07.867
- If we don't have
to bust ourselves

143
00:06:07.867 --> 00:06:11.304
by trying to go hike up
top, climb and rip our way

144
00:06:11.304 --> 00:06:15.208
through who knows what,
why would we do it?

145
00:06:15.208 --> 00:06:17.410
Because the reality
of the situation is

146
00:06:17.410 --> 00:06:19.312
we don't know what's
in either cache.

147
00:06:19.312 --> 00:06:20.580
- Maybe it won't pay off.

148
00:06:20.580 --> 00:06:21.948
Maybe the reward's
gonna be nothing.

149
00:06:21.948 --> 00:06:23.616
It's gonna be something silly,

150
00:06:23.616 --> 00:06:26.719
but I'm willing to risk that.

151
00:06:26.719 --> 00:06:27.854
- We're on the same page.

152
00:06:27.854 --> 00:06:29.055
If we're gonna bust it up there,

153
00:06:29.055 --> 00:06:30.623
and we're gonna hike
it, I'll be right there

154
00:06:30.623 --> 00:06:33.126
busting it and
hiking it with Chris.

155
00:06:33.126 --> 00:06:34.794
But again, I think that's
what makes us a great team.

156
00:06:34.794 --> 00:06:36.028
Because I can think
ahead, and he can think

157
00:06:36.028 --> 00:06:37.497
in the here and now.

158
00:06:37.497 --> 00:06:38.731
And there's a time for both,

159
00:06:38.731 --> 00:06:39.932
and there's a time
where you need both.

160
00:06:39.932 --> 00:06:41.701
And it's just a
different approach.

161
00:06:41.701 --> 00:06:44.504
- I'm in New Zealand;
I'm here to hunt.

162
00:06:44.504 --> 00:06:46.005
I'm here to gather food,

163
00:06:46.005 --> 00:06:48.808
and I'm here to be on this
adventure, test our skills.

164
00:06:48.808 --> 00:06:51.010
And that is testing our skills.

165
00:06:51.010 --> 00:06:54.947
The luxury way doesn't
really sit well with me.

166
00:06:59.118 --> 00:07:00.620
- [Narrator] With
no time to spare,

167
00:07:00.620 --> 00:07:03.156
the brothers finally agree
to take the high, hard road

168
00:07:03.156 --> 00:07:05.258
toward the mountain cache
with hopes of finding

169
00:07:05.258 --> 00:07:06.926
food along the way.

170
00:07:06.926 --> 00:07:09.429
- [Chris] High, hard one.

171
00:07:09.429 --> 00:07:13.266
- [Casey] They don't
make it easy here, but...

172
00:07:16.335 --> 00:07:19.071
Hopefully we're making
the right decision.

173
00:07:19.071 --> 00:07:21.707
Although right now
luxury would be good.

174
00:07:21.707 --> 00:07:23.309
- [Narrator] Finding the
cache and a food source

175
00:07:23.309 --> 00:07:25.912
is imperative as the brothers
head up the mountain.

176
00:07:25.912 --> 00:07:28.381
The trek will burn
large amounts of energy.

177
00:07:28.381 --> 00:07:30.316
If they were to come
back empty handed,

178
00:07:30.316 --> 00:07:34.487
it could dramatically impact
their chances of survival.

179
00:07:56.309 --> 00:07:57.143
- Goats.

180
00:07:58.511 --> 00:08:00.246
Goats right here; see them?

181
00:08:00.246 --> 00:08:03.216
Down at the bottom,
a pile of them.

182
00:08:03.216 --> 00:08:05.785
- [Narrator] The brothers have
found a band of wild goats,

183
00:08:05.785 --> 00:08:07.086
but they are a long ways off

184
00:08:07.086 --> 00:08:10.590
and in the opposite
direction of the cache.

185
00:08:12.925 --> 00:08:14.193
- [Narrator] In the
process of searching

186
00:08:14.193 --> 00:08:15.561
for their third supply cache,

187
00:08:15.561 --> 00:08:17.029
brothers Chris and Casey Keefer

188
00:08:17.029 --> 00:08:19.866
spotted a band of wild
goats off in the distance.

189
00:08:19.866 --> 00:08:22.335
With the clock counting
down to validation,

190
00:08:22.335 --> 00:08:24.537
the brothers must quickly
come up with a plan of action

191
00:08:24.537 --> 00:08:27.039
or risk missing out on
the valuable equipment.

192
00:08:27.039 --> 00:08:28.541
- [Casey] They've got
to be up on this ridge

193
00:08:28.541 --> 00:08:29.375
up here somewhere.

194
00:08:29.375 --> 00:08:31.043
- What if we split?

195
00:08:31.043 --> 00:08:34.413
What if I went for meat, and
you went and got the cache?

196
00:08:34.413 --> 00:08:38.751
Let me go after them and
see if I can get something.

197
00:08:38.751 --> 00:08:42.255
And let's plan on
like two hours.

198
00:08:42.255 --> 00:08:45.791
If I'm not back by
dark, just wait longer.

199
00:08:45.791 --> 00:08:47.393
Hey, be careful.

200
00:08:47.393 --> 00:08:48.661
Find that cache.

201
00:08:48.661 --> 00:08:51.998
I only got one arrow, so
I gotta make it count.

202
00:08:51.998 --> 00:08:53.566
- [Narrator] As Chris heads
back down the mountain

203
00:08:53.566 --> 00:08:56.502
to stalk the goats, Casey
continues his trek upward

204
00:08:56.502 --> 00:08:58.204
in search of the cache.

205
00:08:58.204 --> 00:09:00.840
Both brothers must move
quickly and cautiously

206
00:09:00.840 --> 00:09:03.709
if either hopes to succeed.

207
00:09:03.709 --> 00:09:07.880
- [Casey] Ah, how do I let
him talk me into this stuff?

208
00:09:14.921 --> 00:09:16.956
- Trying to decide
what to do here.

209
00:09:16.956 --> 00:09:20.793
There's tussock and
there's broom, so thick.

210
00:09:20.793 --> 00:09:24.897
Going through it with all
the briars and everything,

211
00:09:24.897 --> 00:09:26.632
I was trying to see
if I could get higher

212
00:09:26.632 --> 00:09:29.368
'cause I wanna be able
to go on the other side

213
00:09:29.368 --> 00:09:33.039
and come down on them
versus kind of skirting it

214
00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:34.740
and walking the bottom.

215
00:09:34.740 --> 00:09:36.208
If I walk the bottom,
I'm walking right at them

216
00:09:36.208 --> 00:09:38.110
with the wind going in there.

217
00:09:38.110 --> 00:09:39.779
I'd just as soon come
down on top of them

218
00:09:39.779 --> 00:09:41.614
so I have the advantage.

219
00:09:41.614 --> 00:09:44.216
And all this broom
everywhere is so high.

220
00:09:44.216 --> 00:09:47.119
It looks like it's
nothing, but it's thick.

221
00:09:47.119 --> 00:09:47.954
Okay.

222
00:09:49.088 --> 00:09:51.157
Oh, yeah, there's a path.

223
00:10:06.539 --> 00:10:08.941
- I gotta take a breather
here for a minute.

224
00:10:08.941 --> 00:10:10.576
See where I'm at.

225
00:10:10.576 --> 00:10:12.078
Better check this.

226
00:10:13.713 --> 00:10:14.647
- [Narrator] The
mountain's steep elevation

227
00:10:14.647 --> 00:10:17.183
is taking its toll on Casey.

228
00:10:17.183 --> 00:10:19.185
With nothing solid to
eat in the last two days,

229
00:10:19.185 --> 00:10:21.120
he's running on fumes.

230
00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:23.589
With time quickly running
out, he must trudge forward

231
00:10:23.589 --> 00:10:26.792
or forfeit the valuable
supply of equipment.

232
00:10:26.792 --> 00:10:28.894
- I guess I'll keep
looking around.

233
00:10:28.894 --> 00:10:30.396
Definitely a mile.

234
00:10:31.564 --> 00:10:35.301
A New Zealand mile which
is a whole lot longer.

235
00:10:39.805 --> 00:10:42.274
- Well, I came up
here on the top,

236
00:10:42.274 --> 00:10:44.443
got a bird's eye view.

237
00:10:44.443 --> 00:10:46.812
From what I can tell,
I have 14 wild goats

238
00:10:46.812 --> 00:10:48.547
down in front of me.

239
00:10:48.547 --> 00:10:50.349
When I got up here, I thought
I was gonna be able to use

240
00:10:50.349 --> 00:10:51.684
this broom to my favor.

241
00:10:51.684 --> 00:10:54.820
Problem is: I've got the
advantage to see 'em,

242
00:10:54.820 --> 00:10:56.355
but when I came
around this ridge,

243
00:10:56.355 --> 00:10:58.257
I ran into a rock face.

244
00:10:58.257 --> 00:10:59.992
It looks like it's a
recent earthquake slide

245
00:10:59.992 --> 00:11:01.861
that's just kind of
grown in or something.

246
00:11:01.861 --> 00:11:03.929
I have no cover, so
I've gotta figure out

247
00:11:03.929 --> 00:11:06.699
and watch them where they go,
and then I'll make a plan.

248
00:11:06.699 --> 00:11:09.201
If I can get down and
get level with them,

249
00:11:09.201 --> 00:11:11.604
I've got one arrow in my PSE.

250
00:11:13.005 --> 00:11:15.775
These things are complete
pests in New Zealand.

251
00:11:15.775 --> 00:11:17.710
These goats stink.

252
00:11:17.710 --> 00:11:19.011
I can't explain the smell.

253
00:11:19.011 --> 00:11:20.980
You can smell them
from a mile away.

254
00:11:20.980 --> 00:11:22.615
It's unbelievable.

255
00:11:22.615 --> 00:11:24.216
The wind's just
coming this direction.

256
00:11:24.216 --> 00:11:26.552
You can actually smell them.

257
00:11:27.753 --> 00:11:29.822
- [Narrator] Over 14% of
New Zealand is inhabited

258
00:11:29.822 --> 00:11:31.524
by feral goats.

259
00:11:31.524 --> 00:11:33.526
This adaptable species
was brought to New Zealand

260
00:11:33.526 --> 00:11:35.995
by earlier settlers
as a food source

261
00:11:35.995 --> 00:11:38.998
and has since grown to
uncontrollable numbers.

262
00:11:38.998 --> 00:11:40.599
They've devoured
native vegetation

263
00:11:40.599 --> 00:11:42.935
to the point of endangerment
and trampled landscapes

264
00:11:42.935 --> 00:11:46.272
leading to soil
deterioration and erosion.

265
00:11:46.272 --> 00:11:48.274
These agile creatures
have excellent balance

266
00:11:48.274 --> 00:11:51.110
and are able to take
shelter in tough terrain.

267
00:11:51.110 --> 00:11:52.945
If Chris wants to take one down,

268
00:11:52.945 --> 00:11:57.116
he'll need to be extra
cautious moving forward.

269
00:11:57.116 --> 00:12:01.287
- So the last ridge has
gotta be up here somewhere.

270
00:12:07.259 --> 00:12:08.594
Oh, right there.

271
00:12:09.628 --> 00:12:11.230
It is with a rifle!

272
00:12:13.566 --> 00:12:14.500
Oh, my God!

273
00:12:15.668 --> 00:12:18.571
Okay, I got the
rifle; that's huge.

274
00:12:21.440 --> 00:12:22.508
I got a pack.

275
00:12:24.343 --> 00:12:26.612
What else we got in here?

276
00:12:26.612 --> 00:12:27.713
We got binos,

277
00:12:31.517 --> 00:12:32.752
always a bonus.

278
00:12:36.122 --> 00:12:37.790
What have we got here?

279
00:12:37.790 --> 00:12:40.593
We got a knife and a flint.

280
00:12:40.593 --> 00:12:43.696
Perfect, now we got a
way to start a fire.

281
00:12:43.696 --> 00:12:45.231
That is awesome.

282
00:12:45.231 --> 00:12:47.800
At the very bottom, ammunition.

283
00:12:48.701 --> 00:12:50.202
Boy, that's a game changer.

284
00:12:50.202 --> 00:12:52.138
Oh, I got a water bottle too.

285
00:12:52.138 --> 00:12:52.972
Awesome!

286
00:12:55.141 --> 00:12:56.842
I got everything I
need to be as effective

287
00:12:56.842 --> 00:12:58.944
as possible out here now.

288
00:13:01.180 --> 00:13:02.982
- [Narrator] The high,
hard road has paid off

289
00:13:02.982 --> 00:13:05.785
and justly rewarded the
brothers with a Model 70 .270

290
00:13:05.785 --> 00:13:08.888
short magnum rifle, a
full box of ammunition,

291
00:13:08.888 --> 00:13:10.489
and a rifle scope.

292
00:13:10.489 --> 00:13:11.724
This equipment
allows the brothers

293
00:13:11.724 --> 00:13:13.692
to take big game from a distance

294
00:13:13.692 --> 00:13:16.328
and increases their
chance of success.

295
00:13:16.328 --> 00:13:19.632
Inside a day pack was a
set of 10 by 42 binoculars

296
00:13:19.632 --> 00:13:21.934
that should prove useful
for trying to locate game

297
00:13:21.934 --> 00:13:24.336
and provide a better
look at what's ahead.

298
00:13:24.336 --> 00:13:26.172
The binoculars are tucked
into a soft harness

299
00:13:26.172 --> 00:13:29.041
with an elastic strap
for quick carrying.

300
00:13:29.041 --> 00:13:31.844
Rounding out the critical cache
items is a fire starting kit

301
00:13:31.844 --> 00:13:33.712
that contains a sharp
knife with a sheath

302
00:13:33.712 --> 00:13:35.581
that holds a flint striker.

303
00:13:35.581 --> 00:13:37.850
These items allow the brothers
to quickly build a fire

304
00:13:37.850 --> 00:13:42.688
to cook food and keep warm
during long cold nights.

305
00:13:42.688 --> 00:13:45.724
As Casey validates the cache,
Chris is on the opposite side

306
00:13:45.724 --> 00:13:48.427
of the mountain making his
way down into the valley

307
00:13:48.427 --> 00:13:50.996
in hot pursuit of a lone billy.

308
00:13:56.135 --> 00:14:00.506
- I know I can't wait,
spooked him out or not.

309
00:14:00.506 --> 00:14:01.340
Okay.

310
00:14:10.816 --> 00:14:13.185
This scrub brush is making
it almost impossible

311
00:14:13.185 --> 00:14:17.890
'cause they're the same
height as the scrub brush.

312
00:14:17.890 --> 00:14:20.826
That's only four,
and there's twenty.

313
00:14:20.826 --> 00:14:22.962
- [Narrator] The tall brush
hides the goat's movement.

314
00:14:22.962 --> 00:14:25.297
If a loan goat were to
spot Chris prematurely,

315
00:14:25.297 --> 00:14:29.001
it could panic and set
the whole herd running.

316
00:14:29.001 --> 00:14:31.270
- I'd like to get closer
so that I know for a fact.

317
00:14:31.270 --> 00:14:34.240
I got one arrow, and I don't
wanna move this animal.

318
00:14:34.240 --> 00:14:36.942
I wanna make sure
it's a clean kill.

319
00:14:36.942 --> 00:14:39.578
I've gotta get as close
as I can to make sure

320
00:14:39.578 --> 00:14:40.913
that this is it.

321
00:14:42.281 --> 00:14:44.116
- [Narrator] As Chris
closes in on the billy,

322
00:14:44.116 --> 00:14:48.120
he stumbles upon another
looking directly at him.

323
00:14:48.621 --> 00:14:52.024
A feral goat has spotted
Chris from only 15 yards.

324
00:14:52.024 --> 00:14:55.227
Having gone almost 36
hours without a solid meal,

325
00:14:55.227 --> 00:14:57.296
losing this opportunity
now could put the brothers

326
00:14:57.296 --> 00:14:58.964
in a dire situation.

327
00:15:04.470 --> 00:15:06.672
The startled goat has
alerted the rest of the herd

328
00:15:06.672 --> 00:15:08.507
and sent them running.

329
00:15:11.543 --> 00:15:14.880
- We just came out
of here with nothing.

330
00:15:16.749 --> 00:15:20.586
I don't even know what
to say or do right now.

331
00:15:24.456 --> 00:15:27.860
Just feeling a little
defeated right now.

332
00:15:31.330 --> 00:15:32.998
Man, that is brutal.

333
00:15:33.966 --> 00:15:36.235
That was such a long stalk.

334
00:15:36.235 --> 00:15:40.105
And I had one, and
he was laying down.

335
00:15:40.105 --> 00:15:43.042
And I'm not gonna take
a shot with one arrow.

336
00:15:43.042 --> 00:15:45.544
It's unethical to
shoot him laying down.

337
00:15:45.544 --> 00:15:48.714
And when he stood
up, he just bounced.

338
00:15:49.782 --> 00:15:51.050
I'm gonna keep
pushing up the river,

339
00:15:51.050 --> 00:15:55.187
but most of them started
to scatter pretty good.

340
00:15:55.187 --> 00:15:56.488
There was a lot of
them in here though,

341
00:15:56.488 --> 00:15:58.257
so I'm not real sure.

342
00:15:59.825 --> 00:16:03.429
Well, the best thing
to do is not give up.

343
00:16:03.429 --> 00:16:04.964
I'm gonna keep
searching all this stuff

344
00:16:04.964 --> 00:16:08.767
until I am positive
they're not in here.

345
00:16:08.767 --> 00:16:12.304
As of right now, I'm
looking at nothing.

346
00:16:12.304 --> 00:16:13.639
I gotta keep pushing.

347
00:16:13.639 --> 00:16:15.407
No, wait, wait, wait.

348
00:16:16.875 --> 00:16:18.344
- [Narrator] Another
billy has surprised Chris

349
00:16:18.344 --> 00:16:21.513
by stepping out of the high
brush at only 15 yards.

350
00:16:21.513 --> 00:16:23.048
But with only one arrow,

351
00:16:23.048 --> 00:16:26.151
this may be Chris's
last opportunity.

352
00:16:32.758 --> 00:16:33.592
- Oh, yes!

353
00:16:34.626 --> 00:16:35.961
I put it right in the shoulder.

354
00:16:35.961 --> 00:16:37.663
He should be dead on the ledge.

355
00:16:37.663 --> 00:16:39.665
Oh, yes, I got one down.

356
00:16:41.400 --> 00:16:42.201
I hope.

357
00:16:46.005 --> 00:16:48.407
Okay, I got blood right here.

358
00:16:48.407 --> 00:16:49.241
Blood.

359
00:16:50.409 --> 00:16:53.912
And I saw him cut up
into the top up here.

360
00:16:58.450 --> 00:16:59.685
Well, ha ha ha.

361
00:17:01.954 --> 00:17:03.455
I thought I was busted there.

362
00:17:03.455 --> 00:17:05.691
I thought there was no way
I was gonna get another one.

363
00:17:05.691 --> 00:17:06.725
One stepped out.

364
00:17:06.725 --> 00:17:09.561
Goat or not, I gotta eat.

365
00:17:09.561 --> 00:17:11.063
There he is.

366
00:17:11.063 --> 00:17:15.300
I'm gonna have to get this
thing sort of caped out,

367
00:17:15.300 --> 00:17:18.737
and I just realized
I don't have a knife.

368
00:17:21.940 --> 00:17:23.609
I gotta get to work.

369
00:17:25.577 --> 00:17:27.146
Okay, I gotta think about this.

370
00:17:27.146 --> 00:17:29.882
Gotta find a way to get
some backstraps off this

371
00:17:29.882 --> 00:17:32.885
and everything taken care of.

372
00:17:32.885 --> 00:17:33.719
Okay.

373
00:17:36.255 --> 00:17:37.923
- [Narrator] Without a
knife, Chris must tap

374
00:17:37.923 --> 00:17:39.691
into his ingenuity if
he wants to process

375
00:17:39.691 --> 00:17:41.593
the goat hide and meat.

376
00:17:44.296 --> 00:17:47.066
Removing an animal's hide
is a tedious process.

377
00:17:47.066 --> 00:17:49.234
With only a broadhead
to skin the goat,

378
00:17:49.234 --> 00:17:51.570
Chris must utilize a
two inch blade to slice

379
00:17:51.570 --> 00:17:54.306
through the goat's hair,
fat, and layers of muscle

380
00:17:54.306 --> 00:17:55.841
to reach the meat.

381
00:17:55.841 --> 00:17:58.644
Chris must carefully hand
the half inch thick blade.

382
00:17:58.644 --> 00:18:01.780
The goat's hide and meat is
tough and riddled with bacteria.

383
00:18:01.780 --> 00:18:04.116
A simple cut could
easily become infected

384
00:18:04.116 --> 00:18:07.619
and turn into something
far more critical.

385
00:18:13.826 --> 00:18:15.427
- Cut this up here.

386
00:18:17.096 --> 00:18:20.099
They're just dirty,
nasty creatures.

387
00:18:21.900 --> 00:18:22.935
Is that a rifle?

388
00:18:22.935 --> 00:18:24.169
- That's a rifle.

389
00:18:24.169 --> 00:18:27.139
I was wondering when
you were gonna see that.

390
00:18:27.139 --> 00:18:28.240
Find a winter kill?

391
00:18:28.240 --> 00:18:30.175
- Wow, you got so much stuff.

392
00:18:30.175 --> 00:18:31.110
- Yeah, so much.

393
00:18:31.110 --> 00:18:32.177
- You have a pack.

394
00:18:32.177 --> 00:18:33.679
- I got a pack.

395
00:18:33.679 --> 00:18:35.314
Got ammo, got a rifle.

396
00:18:35.314 --> 00:18:37.116
- You really were...
- Got a knife.

397
00:18:37.116 --> 00:18:38.784
- Rewarded.
- Got a flint.

398
00:18:38.784 --> 00:18:40.119
- Really, a knife?

399
00:18:40.119 --> 00:18:41.420
That'd been nice.

400
00:18:41.420 --> 00:18:42.221
- Did you skin him
with a broadhead?

401
00:18:42.221 --> 00:18:43.288
- Yes.

402
00:18:43.288 --> 00:18:44.823
- Did you really?
- Yes.

403
00:18:44.823 --> 00:18:48.660
Cut myself a couple times,
but got everything set up.

404
00:18:49.828 --> 00:18:52.131
I grabbed as much meat
as I possibly could get.

405
00:18:52.131 --> 00:18:52.998
- But you do have meat?

406
00:18:52.998 --> 00:18:54.333
- I do have meat.

407
00:18:54.333 --> 00:18:55.934
- He's not too stinky.

408
00:18:55.934 --> 00:18:56.869
- Yeah, he stinks.

409
00:18:56.869 --> 00:18:58.570
He's in the pack; it's a trick.

410
00:18:58.570 --> 00:18:59.738
He stinks.

411
00:18:59.738 --> 00:19:01.240
- I have eaten
goat, so we'll see.

412
00:19:01.240 --> 00:19:02.875
- Neither have I.
- It's better than nothing.

413
00:19:02.875 --> 00:19:04.543
- But right now...

414
00:19:04.543 --> 00:19:06.411
- Well, we still
got a ways to go.

415
00:19:06.411 --> 00:19:09.314
- I know, I know, we gotta
get back before dark.

416
00:19:09.314 --> 00:19:12.050
So, let's hit it
up over the top.

417
00:19:15.487 --> 00:19:17.923
All right, let's roll.

418
00:19:17.923 --> 00:19:18.757
I'm good.

419
00:19:20.692 --> 00:19:24.196
Can't believe you got
a rifle and a knife.

420
00:19:25.697 --> 00:19:27.166
- [Narrator] With
a successful hunt

421
00:19:27.166 --> 00:19:28.667
and cache retrieval
behind them, the brothers

422
00:19:28.667 --> 00:19:31.036
must now make their
way back to camp.

423
00:19:31.036 --> 00:19:34.873
With light quickly fading
and exhaustion setting in,

424
00:19:34.873 --> 00:19:36.708
the brothers are in high spirits

425
00:19:36.708 --> 00:19:38.944
knowing they now have
a solid source of food

426
00:19:38.944 --> 00:19:42.381
and new gear to aid
them in their journey.

427
00:19:50.589 --> 00:19:52.858
- Well, we just
got back to camp.

428
00:19:52.858 --> 00:19:56.128
I just got done
hanging up this guy.

429
00:19:56.128 --> 00:20:00.132
It's too late to really
get into too much.

430
00:20:00.132 --> 00:20:03.101
Plus, we're just
whooped from that hike.

431
00:20:03.101 --> 00:20:04.703
That was a lot of
calories burned today,

432
00:20:04.703 --> 00:20:06.672
big hike up there.

433
00:20:06.672 --> 00:20:08.807
Think we'll tuck
in the hammocks.

434
00:20:08.807 --> 00:20:10.809
Start our day tomorrow.

435
00:20:10.809 --> 00:20:12.444
- I can't tell you
what the cache just did

436
00:20:12.444 --> 00:20:13.812
for my confidence level.

437
00:20:13.812 --> 00:20:16.682
Gave us a rifle, some
ammo, some binos.

438
00:20:16.682 --> 00:20:17.950
- We got meat.

439
00:20:17.950 --> 00:20:21.119
We took the high, hard
road, and it paid off.

440
00:20:21.119 --> 00:20:24.756
And I feel like now,
now we're in the chips.

441
00:20:24.756 --> 00:20:26.825
- I'm feeling good all and all.

442
00:20:26.825 --> 00:20:29.595
I'm a little tired, starting
to slow down a little bit,

443
00:20:29.595 --> 00:20:31.330
but I'm feeling good.

444
00:20:32.464 --> 00:20:33.999
The weather's nice.

445
00:20:33.999 --> 00:20:37.636
I mean, all and all, not a
whole lot to complain about.

446
00:20:37.636 --> 00:20:41.974
Stare up at the stars in the
sky and fade off to sleep.

447
00:20:41.974 --> 00:20:43.976
Tomorrow is another day.

448
00:20:45.777 --> 00:20:48.013
(coughing)
