That is a big Kurt.

I've never seen the musk ox in real life.

So walking up to it, it was surprise is actually bigger than I thought it would be.

Impressive beast, for sure.

I mean, this thing is gonna be a challenge.

Theano Mel's featured in this show has been ethically harvested in accordance with the laws of Canada's Northwest territories and those of the let's all Cajun A people.

We're gonna get something that lets do this.

When I go looking for a rock to make a knife, I'm looking for something that I can very quickly break that will hold a sharp edge.

Best kind of rocks.

When you hit the two rocks together, you'll hear that snap, sound or crack sound just like someone dropped a pane of glass.

But this is a huge, huge animal.

Try to cut this thing open with stone tools is going to be horrendously difficult.

This musk ox is the hardest animal I've ever attended to process.

I was just thinking, like who was the last guy toe skin and musk ox in this area with a stone?

It's probably been a while, so that's kind of cool.

You feel connected to the past in that way, and it's like, Yeah, this is challenging, but it will humble you, too, as a hunter.

Something that I take very personally needs to respect that animal.

We have a full musk ox that gave its life so that we can eat.

So my determination is to preserve as much as we possibly can.

There are a lot of tools that we can make from the animal, whether it be making a Boudreaux making roper cordage.

There is a level of ingenuity, a level of engineering in trying to figure out what different parts of this animal we can use to make those tools that we're going to desperately need.

My biggest concern is the meat spoiling.

We only have one shot at this.

If we mess up and the meat goes bad, we're gonna have a real rough time surviving out here.

You get a fire.

Going over, get a fire started without tools, is really challenging way.

Have to make cordage first and then try to Farrell in the bow drill.

The fact that I don't have a feral rod or anything to start a fire with means they have to start thinking back to how primitive man survived.

And looking at the resource is of the land to accomplish this mission.

So what we're looking for is the shoe lace on the inside.

And this is a small on.

This will split right here.

Going dig out the spruce for strip them and then break them together is very time consuming.

And they don't last for a loan.

We're having one guy hold the bearing block and the footboard near two guys just operating this drop until we get a number.

We keep having the problem with the court is wearing out before we get enough heat we ruin.

Ate a lot stronger quarters.

I think we should see if we can utilize musk ox hair to make stronger cordage hair on.

Unless Cox is so coarse and strong that flute it won't break every two tries.

There's smoke.

Good.

Oh, she's going.

Yeah, could be all you, rob.

Just going straight over.

It's all you.

Yeah, Yes.

Good job, buddy Way that changes the game.

Today's day three.

We woke up immediately jumped on fire.

It's been 48 hours since I've had anything to eat but we've got a lot of work to do.

There's entire musk ox toe finish processing and smoke out what we're hoping to do.

You build the smoking rocks.

We can quick dry the meat.

Quick drying it may last a lot longer on the smoke will kill all the bacteria.

That's all in the meat while preserving quite a bit longer.

When using primitive technology or primitive skills, you have to or he had to at that time, just look around and see what he had around.

There is no fancy ropes, no fancy knives.

He had to go on the fly to build and use everything he had.

I'm going to dig out the hillside a little bit and trying to put in a stove so that I can stay warm at night because we're sleeping on the ground and it's like sleeping on ice.

The whole goal was to do on Earth berm shelter.

Try to get the Earth to protect us from the wind and cold.

We take spruce bows and we break him down and set him up so we have beds in a fire inside, the cold is coming.

If we don't have ourselves prepared.

That's gonna be a huge danger.

I am making a primitive hatchet.

I found this the other day by the like.

You've been using a hand ax.

Nate found a piece of wood to use for the handle.

Your hand gets soared with all this type of work out here.

And so using something with a handle makes it less vibration.

When you hit things with it, the sin use really struck a chord.

Yeah, making a fishhook made out of musk ox bone center.

Tie it.

You set your meat, and then I can pull it down and hook it so that it travels through the water like this.

But when the fish takes, it swallows it.

The hooks spins perpendicular to the line and a gorgeous itself in the mouth of a fish so that it can't come out.

Everything is more difficult without tools, so we're gonna have to improvise.

I'm really hoping to make some fishing line out of Seenu.

The way you process in you is to basically cut large tendons on, dry them thoroughly, and then you kill that apart and they have a bunch of really little, very strong strings stripping fibers We've been back together in the streets.

We're going to go fishing.

We do have all this meat here, but your body can only use so much of it without the presence of fat.

So fish is mainly fat.

It's very, very important to our bodies into our survival out here that we catch fish.

So we get that fat to keep us going.

Otherwise, we're just not going to make it to the end.

The Arctic is really a harsh place.

It's raw.

Everything struggles to survive here for Sean.

Oh, my God, That's a big O.

Yeah.

Finally.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

It's great.

Uh huh.

I'm overwhelmed.

We got a fish.

Oh, that's like they go meet it right now.

It's moving from surviving into sustaining with what we had.

We know we can catch a fish to me.

That's a step in the right direction towards thriving.

So my Yeah, Yeah, what should see Ninja band with the club that is a honker.

Taking all the internal organs of the fish is pretty easy.

Most times you can just pull ornament.

It is cooperating way, way different Cutting red meat still beating fresh fish bed.

Warm beef?

Yeah.

Wow.

Really tender meat After eating all that musk ox, It's just such a difference.

We're really grateful for it.

Everybody needed that.

I could run on, like, four days on this fuel.

You actually feel your body absorbing the oil that it needs so, so bad.

Come here, Energy.

We're ready to boogie.

Final day they were Yeah, that's the end.

This experience has been challenging.

We came out here with nothing, Nothing to make fire, no knives, no tools whatsoever.

Having to deal with wild animals and consuming one.

I've gained a new appreciation for what we shouldn't waste.

I just never really knew the value in certain items off of an animal coming out here with nothing.

I have even more respect for the intelligence and ingenuity or Stone age ancestors.

It's amazing to think of what our ancestors went through and what they overcame.

Thio get us where society is today.

We're ready to keep going.
