JACLYN MCCAFFREY: So what would you say your strengths are?
ADAM YOUNG: Well, I come from a hunting background.
My dad is a big hunter, and his father was a hunter.
And in the outdoors, wildlife identification
tracking, trying to find where all
the little critters are hiding.
JACLYN MCCAFFREY: I don't really--
I don't really kill animals.
OK?
JACLYN MCCAFFREY: I'm a vegetarian.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
ADAM YOUNG: I mean, I just met my partner.
She's pretty girl, but as a hunter, you know,
when I found out Jacqueline was a vegetarian, I thought--
I thought, oh, this should be interesting.
It's going to make a difficult situation
already even more difficult.
I know a lot about edible plants.
ADAM YOUNG: Good.
Adam seems like a nice guy.
He is easy to talk to, and he's open to suggestion.
And I feel like we communicate well.
ADAM YOUNG: You handle the vegetables.
I'll handle the meat.
JACLYN MCCAFFREY: OK, that's perfect.
ADAM YOUNG: I'm sure if she had her preference,
she'd want to just have fruits and vegetables
through this whole thing.
But one of the items on my bucket list
is to convert a vegetarian to a meat eater.
Hopefully, I'll be able to check that one off the list
by the end of this.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
JACLYN MCCAFFREY: Adam is out on a trek,
and I want to go out and try to find edible plants so I can
make sure to do my share and bring something to the table
as well.
Mmm, sorry Adam.
Oh, oh, mmm.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
ADAM YOUNG: Hmm.
How's it going?
Went good.
That was a good trek.
I got a couple of crabs, a couple of snails,
and a earthworm.
JACLYN MCCAFFREY: I don't eat meat, so I've never, ever even
thought about eating a snail before.
You're going to just put this in your mouth and chomp it.
Yep.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Mmm, I love it.
And you've got to just get it down the hatch.
You want these two, or this big one?
I'm very happy and very thankful, but I'm--
I know he put good intention into it,
and I appreciate his efforts.
But I just don't eat meat.
ADAM YOUNG: You really can't eat that one tiny ass little crab?
JACLYN MCCAFFREY: I can't.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
At the end of the day, we've got to get the calories in.
And I can't force feed her.
You know, if she's hungry enough,
she'll find a way to get it down.
NARRATOR: The caloric difference between each
of the survivalists first meals is significant.
At most, Jaclyn's edibles have combined
to provide about 30 calories.
Adam's intake is easily four times that.
Both are still well below the 2,000 calories
most humans need per day.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Over the next three days, Adam and Jaclyn
continue to search separately for more
substantial food sources.
How are you doing?
Good.
How did it go?
Not good.
NARRATOR: And with drier weather,
they are finally able to boil and purify the water
they have closer to camp.
That's awesome.
NARRATOR: But each night, the bitter cold returns.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
ADAM YOUNG: Whoa, whoa, whoa. There's a snake right here.
Watch out. Back up.
JACLYN MCCAFFREY: Oh, gosh.
[DRUMS]
Almost stepped right on that.
Oh, my gosh.
[DRUMS]
Ooh, careful.
That's it.
NARRATOR: The snake is a ferdelance,
one of the most venomous and deadly in the world.
One bite could have killed Adam in a matter of hours.
Seeing that snake really changed everything.
It really brought to light how dangerous everything
is out here and how quickly one of us could be taken out.
That's scary.
We have to be really careful when we're walking.
Yes, we do.
But now we got supper.
Any time I go out and am lucky enough to snatch up
a snake or whatever, I'm happy.
That's a hot meal for both of us and a little morale boost.
Got my heart pumping a little bit.
That was exciting.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Let's get this bad boy skunked out.
Uh, was it moving in your hand?
ADAM YOUNG: Mmm-hmm.
JACLYN MCCAFFREY: Can I do anything to help?
ADAM YOUNG: Yeah, come here.
JACLYN MCCAFFREY: If Adam goes out and catches something,
I'll help him prepare it.
Hang on.
JACLYN MCCAFFREY: But I'm not going to have that.
Oh, oh, my gosh.
ADAM YOUNG: He just ate something.
JACLYN MCCAFFREY: That's its stomach?
ADAM YOUNG: Yep.
JACLYN MCCAFFREY: It's so gross.
It really bothers me.
ADAM YOUNG: Never know.
A couple of days from now, you're going to be begging
for something like that.
JACLYN MCCAFFREY: Why?
ADAM YOUNG: Hungry.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Ugh.
ADAM YOUNG: I'm a bit worried about Jaclyn.
She's got to find some protein and get some meat in her diet.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
JACLYN MCCAFFREY: [BIRD CALL] I see a lizard here.
I guess it's not huge, but it's pretty big.
Oh, yeah.
Do you want to eat him?
No.
You don't?
If I kill him, you won't eat him?
JACLYN MCCAFFREY: I don't know.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
No idea what kind it is.
But he's definitely big enough to eat.
We should eat him.
I can't.
ADAM YOUNG: You don't have to watch me butcher him.
I'm not going to.
ADAM YOUNG: Great find.
Make it quick.
All right, brunch.
It's not much, but I'll take it.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
I think we should cook him up now.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
What are you doing?
ADAM YOUNG: Gutting him.
Do you want to see?
JACLYN MCCAFFREY: Yeah.
ADAM YOUNG: So I made a little incision,
and then now I'm going to squeeze his guts out.
Oh, my-- OK.
ADAM YOUNG: So you don't really need to eat that.
JACLYN MCCAFFREY: I feel really crappy right now,
and I know that's because my body is craving protein.
How do you know when it's cooked?
I'm going to cook him just very well,
so that way you know he's cooked good.
JACLYN MCCAFFREY: I just--
I'm rising up to this challenge.
I'm doing everything that I need to do.
And I need some protein.
ADAM YOUNG: Tastes meaty.
This is good.
It is really good.
Meat, mmm.
Tail should be good.
See?
That's a good piece.
Is that meat?
ADAM YOUNG: Yeah, that white stuff's meat.
JACLYN MCCAFFREY: All right. ADAM YOUNG: Cheers.
JACLYN MCCAFFREY: Cheers.
Tastes like meat.
JACLYN MCCAFFREY: This is the first time
I've ever like experienced killing an animal
and cooking and eating it.
ADAM YOUNG: Proud of you.
Good job.
You know, when I'm living in an abundant life
where I have all these choices of what to eat,
I'll choose what I want.
But here, I don't have a choice.
I just have to do what's best for myself right now.
We're in a survival situation.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
ADAM YOUNG: What if we're in a situation where
we have a chance to eat meat?
Say we have a duck or something like that, but for whatever
circumstance I can't--
I can't kill it.
Could you finish the duck off, chop it's head off?
JACLYN MCCAFFREY: I'm really hungry.
Changes a person.
Hunger can drive people to do crazy [BLEEP]
JACLYN MCCAFFREY: Strange to look back and think
that we had just met, because we've spent so much
time together.
And I'm really glad that he's my partner because he's
an awesome, awesome person.
You know, there's a lot of people would look at me
and say, oh, your a dumb hippie.
But you kind of like just listened to it.
And I think that's cool.
And I'm willing to learn too.
I think that's huge.
ADAM YOUNG: Maybe it's just this situation that is like--
What would we-- what would we be like if we'd met--
That's what I'm saying.
If we had just met completely outside of this
and just on the street or something like that,
I don't know--
I'm not sure.
I don't know if we would have the same relationship.
I don't think so.
Who knows what the future will bring.
You're a hunter.
You're a vegetarian, hula-hooping hippie.
Oh, gosh.
