Video Transcript ( less )

" I move slowly while I work on some of the supplies I pulled from the truck."

" This is the wrap that was on the back of the truck."

" This is too big for anything I might have a need for right now. I will see if I can make it smaller. So now that I've got this separated into 3 ropes, I can take it down even more, into smaller rope, and then down even into string."

" Protection in a survival situation is vital from the elements and from dangerous critters. It's not paranoia for me to fashion together a spear to protect me from the deadly Cape Cobra. They can be aggressive and move fast when they want to."

" So, hopefully, this will work if I need it to. If a snake comes along, like this, and I've got this on the end of a pole, I can trap it, hold the head down. It becomes a bit of a protection device, but it's also gonna be used for hunting."

" Even in one of the hottest places on the planet, fire is still important for my survival."

" If I am able to get a fire going, I'm going to need to be able to travel with it. I'm just working on a fire bundle."

" Coming through this brittle, prickly, dry grass to get the dead stuff. Leave the green stuff behind."

" I grabbed some vinyl from the truck to use to wrap around it, and there's some dung around. I don't know what kind of dung it is, but it's an ungulate, so it's a grass-eater and it'll probably work pretty well. It'll hold it in there tight and you do want it to be very tight because you don't want it to burn. You just want it to smolder as long as you have to travel."
