DAVE: To not be able to feed yourself,
what a difficult state to be in.
My body doesn't feel right.
I'm getting cramps every day and every night.
I'm depleting my body of nutrient that's needed.
And I got to figure it out.
I got to get out of this funk, and I'm definitely feeling it.
What's motivating me, it's being alive on the land,
it's learning every last bit I can,
and it's being thankful every moment of the day.
But right now, I'm just sitting here starving.
That's not why I'm here.
It's tough to watch muscles on your body just disappear.
That's difficult.
I don't know. I don't know.
There's three elements that, without one of them,
there is no life--
sun, earth, and water.
And right here, I've got this beautiful picture of the sun
just shimmering off the water and land
right on either side of it.
That is life, straight and simple.
Life, bam.
Damn, that's beautiful.
I don't want to starve anymore.
I want to live.
I want to enjoy my life.
I want to be healthy.
I can't allow my body to deteriorate again.
Feels right.
Feels very right.

Look who's here.
The main reason I'm tapping out is I'm taking care of my body,
straight and simple.
After Patagonia, my journey was interrupted.
There was like months, three months,
where it was difficult to digest food.
That was like, oh, I can push myself too far.
Oh, OK, got to be aware of my physical well-being.
I don't want that to happen here.
I want to just sort of walk right into the next step,
and right now, it feels perfect, feels good.
Two completely different tap outs.
This one definitely feels better.
It was much nicer to take myself out of the picture,
much easier, much more empowering.
It's not in me to push myself like I
did in Patagonia anymore.
That is not in me.
That is not what I want.
I did my best, and I'm proud of everything I've done,
and I am happy.
I definitely think this go around has changed me.
I think it's helped me to look at myself in more
of a responsible manner and look at my actions
with more understanding of--
I do have an effect on the world.
What do I need to do to make that a positive effect?
