Well there goes our only support off into the distance.
It looks like it just got very real here today.
So Faith and I are now deep in the wilderness.
We're working pretty hard for the last hour or so finishing up our shelter.
Try and shine this light in there and show you, that's where Faith and I are gonna be
sleeping tonight.
We're still on the lake.
It's frozen, there's quite thick ice so there's no danger of us going through.
It's freezing outside.
I can't describe to you how cold it is outside but in here, no gloves, I'm warm.
So I'm pretty impressed with our handiwork.
Me too.
Well it is just about bedtime.
First day of our wilderness trek in the Yukon and yeah we're pretty excited.
It turned out better than I thought.
We're in a snow cave right now.
We built this.
It's cold as sh--.
It takes some time to make a quin-zy.
It was such a cool experience.
I feel great about this shelter.
Did you just like kick your feet?
No that was the...lake.
Are you kidding?
That sounds like it was...cracking.
-Serious man that wasn't good.
No that was a crazy ass noise.
What do you think that was?
It wasn't the normal lake sound.
It was a crack.
It was a crack?
Did you just hear that?
I...heard it!
The lake just cracked.
I'm not even worried about hearing it, I felt that.
Something moved.
I felt myself move.
Um, as I was saying I feel really great about our shelter.
Not.
The quin-zy is definitely solid.
The lake though?
I mean you drilled the lake, how many feet is it?
Two and a half.
It's like two and a half feet of ice under us so that's like safe right?
I felt something move.
Well we'll just monitor it.
We will monitor it.
So we're gonna monitor that situation.
Okay it's the first morning out here in Yukon wilderness and I've managed to get the
fire going again this morning.
There's our little snow cave from last night.
Last night was okay, it was cold.
Seems like there's a lot of cloud, almost seems like a fog.
The snow shelter served us well.
Fire's going this morning, we've got water on, I've got my bacon and egg.
I'm pretty happy, I'm pretty content.
State of these.
Ready I guess?
Ready to start moving?
It's definitely colder than it was yesterday.
Nothing to say.
Wanna get moving?
Yeah.
Just taking a bit of a breather.
At the moment now we've been trekking now for a couple of hours.
This is my sled that I'm carrying, dragging behind me, rather, and it's just covered in
snow and ice.
It's all frozen.
Second night out in the Yukon Wilderness.
Made ourselves a lean to shelter for the night.
How effective it's gonna be, I don't know because it was dark by the time we were setting
up.
We've got our fire right in front of it, hopefully try and project some heat into it, so I think
we've done a pretty good job actually.
Lots of logs, boiling up some water so we can have some food.
It's around about -20, it's so nice sitting here now in front of this fire.
Finally about to have something warm to eat.
I am not even kidding you, this mac and cheese is absolutely amazing.
It's got a few bits of bark in it.
You can see there anyway.
Actually this shelter is kind of luxurious.
I feel like I'd do something like this again.
This is our last morning.
I don't now if you guys can see but that clearing there between the trees and the mountain is
our pick up point.
It was cold last night, really cold last night.
It's still cold this morning.
So I think Faith was up most of the night.
She was collecting firewood and actually kept me pretty warm so I'm pretty grateful for
that.
We're heading down to the lake.
I'm guessing that we're gonna meet the crew down there?
Once we get this camp packed up.
It's a full time job out here.
You always need water, you always need fire.
But I mean, it's amazing.
Hi doggies.
Hi Knuckles, hi Nee-mar.
