我是贝尔·格里尔斯 I'm Bear Grylls.
我将向您展示如何从地球上 I'm gonna show you what it takes to get out alive
最危险的地方逃出生天 from some of the most dangerous places on earth.
短短一周时间 I've got to make
我将身涉险境面临生死考验 it through a week of challenges...
没有生存技巧 in the sort of places
你连1天都撑不过去 you wouldn't last a day
而我要设法突出重围 without the right survival skills.
现在 我深处全美 Now I'm in one of the least known
最鲜为人知 最荒无人烟的地区 least populated woods in all America.
地形起伏 峡谷横亘 暗沟险壑 Locking holes deep ravines and hidden chasms.
天煞的地方 Bad bad place.
这里是德克萨斯州西部 And northern frontier of the mighty Chihuahuan desert
奇瓦瓦沙漠的北端 western Texas.
被人们誉为"绝荒之地" They call this "big country".
这上面没什么能吃的 Nothing on this.
有胆的就来试试吧 You take it on only a few dare.
我身下就是奇瓦瓦沙漠 This is the Chihuahuan desert
它是北美最大的沙漠之一 and it's one of the largest deserts in North America.
广阔无垠 荒无人烟 And it's also empty.
望眼欲穿 看不到一丝文明的迹象 There's hardly any habitation here at all.
人们简称这里为"埃尔斯多普拉多" It's known simply as elsdo pueblo.
也就是"无人之地" the land of no people.
800英里长[1280千米] 800 miles long
250英里宽[400千米] and 250 miles wide.
奇瓦瓦沙漠起自亚利桑那州 It streches from Arizona
横穿德克萨斯 深入墨西哥境内 throngh Texas and deep in Mexico.
这里接近美墨边境 This is frontier country
四周一片荒芜 and it is wild.
每年都有很多人试图穿越美墨边境线上的 And every year people attempt to cross that desert border
这片沙漠来达到偷渡的目的 between Mexico and the US.
但大多数人都失败了 But many don't make it.
你若小瞧这片沙漠的威力 You chose disrespect this place,
它定会给你好看 it’ll get you.
贝尔 差不多飞到2400米了 Okay Bear, we're coming at 1.3 miles
你可以出发了 and you're ready to go.
祝你好运 你需要好运 Good luck down there. You're gonna need it.
在双翼飞机上跳伞 绝对不能鲁莽行事 Sky diving from a bi-plane is anything but straight forward.
最简单可行的办法就是 The fast and simplest way is
让飞行员将飞机翻转过来 for the pilot to reverse the plane.
机腹朝上 Flip it up side down
直接把我丢出去 and drop me out.
也许你的胃会因此翻江倒海 Might be stomach journey,
但这种方法最为有效 but it's an effective deployment.
我不是第一次这么干了 This isn't first to me.
但如若我稍有不慎 撞上尾翼 But if I catch the tail on accident,
我就一命呜呼了 it's game over.
我的任务 是教您如何在这样的环境中求生 My mission is to show you how to stay alive long enough to
重返文明世界 make it back to civilization.
我将随身携带最基本的求生装备 All I'm taking is a few basic survival tools
摄制组会和我一起共赴荒野 and my crews coming with me.
我刚才坐的飞机在那 That's a plane out there.
我不知道怎样才能到达地面 I don't know how to get down there.
这里是北美自然环境最为凶险的地区之一 This is one of the most scourged regions in North Amecira.
温度会连续几个月都高于100华氏度 Temperature roars over 100 for monthes.
从这里我就能感受到 And already from here
沙漠散发出来的热量了 I can feel the heat in the desert.
下面要做的就是 And this is just gonna be a case that
别撞上那些仙人掌了 don't catch the cactus.
着陆成功 On the ground.
但还是被这些仙人掌给挂到了 Bad strained on these cactus.
收好降落伞 咱们走吧 Let's get this parachute. let's go.
降落伞就丢这 Leave it here.
大多数人都是两手空空 迷失在荒野之中 Most people would get lost with nothing.
咱们走吧 Let's get moving.
奇瓦瓦沙漠 万分凶险 The Chihuahuan desert is brutally hard
异常干燥 and bone dry.
大多数地区月平均降雨量不足1英寸[2厘米] Most aeras get less than 1 inch rain a month.
在这里 保持身体的水分 Out here, staying hydrated
将是我所面临的最大挑战 is going to be the biggist challenge.
但这一点至关重要 But it's absolutely vital.
这也是在此类地区生存的关键所在 and the key to survive in a place like this.
到处都是动物的骸骨 Bones are everywhere.
这是只老土狼的头骨 It's an old coyote.
恶劣的环境 Harsh place.
随身带上一两块这样的骨头 And it might be worth taking
也许能派上用场 a couple of these with me.
老土狼的骨头很有用 Old coyote bones like these have a thousand uses
而且十分轻便 易于携带 and is light to carry.
我现在要去那片高地 So, I head for the higher ground out there.
这样我就能知道哪里不好走 And it'll get us barries.
哪里可能有人烟 Get a bit of alive land around here.
登上高地 你就能将周围环境 Getting to higher ground will give you
一览无遗 an understanding of the landscape
这样你就能弄清自己要面对怎样的环境 and show what you're up against.
在地平线那边 就是慈恩拉日卡山脉 You see on the horizon, those are the Cienlarika mountains.
近处的就是格兰德河 And just short that is Rio Grande.
它将墨西哥和美国的领土分开 separate Mexico from the US.
这里是世界上巡逻最严的边境之一 One of the most patrol border in the world,
如果能到那 你肯定能找到人 you can reach that, you gonna find someone.
这里崎岖的地形像是要告诉我 Between here and there, it's terrains just says
够胆就来试试吧 take me on a few dare.
在这种环境下 赶路就是一种折磨 In this environment, covering miles is punishing.
但只要有合适的方法 With the right mind set,
又快又省力的穿过这种地形也是可能的 it's possible to get it over quickly and easily.
跑酷是法国军队惯用的一种方法 Parkour is a technique adopted by the French military.
掌握好速度 保持平衡 合理发力 You need speed, balance and momentum.
灵活调整行进路线 Shaping the way to your body,
走最近的那条路 and taking the most direct route.
掌握这种方法之后 Get this right,
穿越崎岖的地形变得不再艰难 and it's an effective way covering rough terrains.
沙漠环境已经够恶劣了 As if the desert wasn't harsh enough,
但地上还留有昔日牧场的致命遗害 just beneath the surface lies a lethal reminder
提醒你一路小心 of when all this was ranchland.
你看这些石头像这样摆成了一个圈 Look, you see these stones just in a circle like this.
绝对不是自然形成的 Very very unnatural shape.
这应该是猎人设下的陷阱 It means more than likely this is hunter's trap of some sort.
我跟世界各地的猎人打过交道 And I've worked with hunters all around the world
这是猎人典型的手法 and this is very typical of what they would do.
把石头摆成这样 一方面方便自己寻找 Leave them in this shape not only so they can find it again
对过往的行人而言 but also as a warning to other people
也是一种警示 if they're passing this way.
看看咱们能不能触发这个陷阱 Let's see if we can just trigger this.
小心 Watch out.
假设一只小动物走来 What happens is an animal will come along
踏进陷阱 and tread in the middle of this.
肯定会被夹的血肉模糊 It's gonna to be nasty.
好大的家伙 Big trap as well.
这个夹子后面栓着一根长绳 The trap is tethered to the lengh of rope.
找到这样的东西 对求生十分有利 Finding something like this could be a real life saver.
这东西带起来有点沉 It's a little bit of weight to carry.
从这里面可以抽出一些细绳 But I've got threads of strings from this,
真到了用的时候 这绳子也够结实 good strong rope if we need it.
真是好发现 Good find.
这一带以方山为主 Much of this area is mesa
经千年风化逐渐形成平坦的高原 a flat plateau shaped over millions of years.
矗立在沙漠上 They tower high above the desert floor.
为了找到水 你得顺着峡谷往低处走 To find water, you must head down, following the canyons.
我们走上面试试 Let's try up here.
但是在这里行走并非易事 But this isn't easy terrain,
同时你还得和时间进行赛跑 and you're faced with a ticking-bomb scenario--
你得在身体严重缺水之前 covering enough ground before
找到水源所在地 the need for water reaches critical.
从来就没有什么容易的事情 Oh, it's never easy, is it?
这里起码有60英尺高[18米] It must be a good 60 foot straight down, this.
我得找个办法从离开这块高地 Well, I do want some way of getting off this high ground.
遇到这样的情况 Faced with a situation like this,
你有两个选择 you've got two choices--
原路返回 或者想办法过去 go back or find a way across.
我有主意了 Okay, I've got an idea.
我有一根绳子 And what I have got is this rope
一个旧的捕兽器 and this old trap.
但是我的绳子不够长 But I know for sure I've not got enough rope
我没法靠它下到60多英尺下的地方[18米] to reach 60-plus foot down there.
但是到这个峡谷的对面... But there is probably enough to reach across to just the...
应该是够了 just the other side of this gully,
估计就只有30英尺远[9米] and that's probably only about 30 foot.
我可以临时做一个 I can improvise some sort of
可以扔过去的东西 就有点像 throwing device here, you know, like a...
有点像爪钩之类的东西 like a grappling hook, out of this,
然后把它扔到对面去 and get it across to that.
我开工了 I'm on work.
爪钩是罗马人最先发明的 Grappling hooks were first invented by the Romans.
在两艘船近距离作战时 水手会把爪钩 Their sailors used them during ship-to-ship battles,
扔到敌船的缆绳上 thrown into the enemy's rigging,
然后把敌船拖过来 以方便本方强行登船 that drag them closer before boarding.
我从这个捕兽器上 Now I've got two foot stirrups
弄下来两个镫子 from the trap.
把它们这样交叉放一块 I'm gonna just put these together,
然后 and then...
像那样 splice them...
把绳子拴好 through that.
这样就能做出 That will make,
一个虽然粗糙但基本能用的 like a pretty rough-and-ready, rudimentary
爪钩 grappling hook.
像这样绑起来 船员常用这种古老的方法打结 Gonna splice them like this-- an old naval technique,
这样做的理由是 and the reason it's good
这种结不仅结实 is it's not only stronger, the knots.
而且也不费绳子 It also uses up less rope.
最后 顺着绳子的纹路系紧就行了 Finally, follow the pattern of the rope back on itself.
我们来看看能不能把这个东西扔过去 Okay, let's see if we can get this thing across.
但是要把绳子扔过30英尺宽的峡谷并不简单[9米] But throwing a rope across a 30-foot canyon is never easy.
真是扔得 Truly terrible,
太太太失败了 terrible throw.
目标在那 That's the aimer.
下一把我一定要成功 Next time I get it.
这时最危险的就是 The danger here is
把自己跟绳子一起扔了出去 throwing yourself over the edge along with the rope,
所以一定要站稳 so make sure you've got a strong footing
脚边不要放绳子 and keep your feet clear of the coils.
正中目标 Bull's eye.
我感觉抓得很牢 Feels like it's caught.
不会再有比这还好的效果了 And that's probably as good as I'm gonna get.
拉回来一点 Let's bring this back. Okay.
遇到这种地形 Facing terrain like this,
绳子太重要了 不能随便丢弃 a rope is too precious to leave behind.
等我过去了 Once I get across,
我还要把绳子收回来 I want this back.
我手上现在拿的是捕兽器上的铁链 What I've still got, though, is a chain from the trap,
还有一块骨头 and then this bit of bone, as well.
把铁链在这绕上一圈 Let's get this around here.
把绳子绑在铁链上 Threading the rope through the chain
能防止我在收回绳子的时候遇到障碍 should stop it snagging when I try to retrieve it.
我要把这块骨头直接穿进 Well, what I do is use this bone to
这两股绳子中间 go straight through the splice of both strands.
你应该具有这样的心态 You know, this is the mind-set you need to be in.
你要学会随机应变 You've got to improvise.
现在我用剩下的绳子做一根细绳 Now, to make a cord from the leftover rope.
这样就做好了这个 And that's gonna be the
回收绳子用的机关了 retrievable trigger,
等我过去了 and then once I'm across
我就把这根骨头拉出来 and paid all of this stuff out,
一旦这块骨头被抽出来 once this pulls out,
绳子就松开了 就可以回收了 that's gonna release and come through.
好 我们把这个弄好 来试一下 Okay, let's get this set and give it a go.
登山者或山地部队都使用提洛尔攀登法 The tyrolean traverse is a method used by climbers and mountain troops
借此从一个高地去另一个高地 to get from one high point to another.
身体保持在绳子上方 With your torso above the rope,
一只脚缠着绳子 loop one leg over
另一只脚垂下来保持平衡 and allow the other to hang down and act as balance.
绳子 The rope's
到目前为止还很牢固 ...holding so far.
这是好事 This is good.
老实说 我下面被压的挺厉害 It's definitely quite a squeeze on the old meat and two veg,
但毫无疑问 but there's no doubt
还有很长一截要爬 this is a long, long way down, this.
这个绳子相当牢固 但是... This is working quite nicely, but...
坏了 爪钩那头松了 Bad place for the anchor to slip!
真是糟糕 Bad, bad place!
我身处德克萨斯州西部 I'm in the high mountains of western Texas
奇瓦瓦沙漠的峡谷之间 in the brutal Chihuahuan desert.
我刚才将一根绳子扔过了30英尺宽的峡谷[9米] I've thrown a rope across a 30-foot chasm,
但是我临时制作的爪钩 but my improvised grappling hook
却在关键时刻松动了 has slipped on the loose rock at just the wrong time.
坏了 爪钩那头松了 Bad place for the anchor to slip!
真是糟糕 Bad, bad place!
我要离开这根绳子 越快越好 I want to get off this rope, and fast.
爪钩还撑着 但也只是刚好撑着 The anchor has held, but only just.
我们把绳子收回来 Let's try and get this rope back.
好 Okay.
按理说 只要我拉动这条细绳 I should be able to just pull this string,
就可以把那块骨头抽出来 and that bone should pop out.
酷 Cool.
现在 我们应该可以收回 Now, this rope, then,
这条绳子了 should be free.
漂亮 Good job.
找条路从这里下去 Plan a route down from here.
现在路看起来要好走多了 Looks much more straightforward, actually.
该死的仙人掌 Bloody, bloody,
扎了我一身 bloody cactus.
我得花不少花时间才能把它们拔干净 I spent my life picking ruddy things out of my leg.
事实上 这里是个打洞取水的好地方 Actually, this isn't a bad place to try and dig for a bit of water.
通常 这些看起来干涸的河床 Often, these riverbeds that look dry,
只要你挖开表层的土 once you get down under the surface of it,
你就能在下面找到水 you can often find moisture.
看到了吗 Yeah, look. See that?
也就是一英尺多一点[30厘米] Just an inch or so down?
已经开始感觉有点冷 Oh, man, look. That feels cooler
有点湿了 and wetter already.
虽然更冷更湿了 Cooler and wetter,
但还是没有找到能直接饮用的水 but not wet enough to drink.
我能够挖到的也就只有这些了 And that's kind of as good as I'm getting.
在这里 你每天至少需要一加仑的水 Out here, you need at least a gallon of water a day
以避免脱水 to stave off dehydration.
没有水 你会开始感觉迷失方向 Without it, you begin to feel disorientated,
感到头疼恶心 suffering headaches and nausea.
朝我们飞过来的 Straight towards us--
是秃鹰 认出来了吗 vultures. Pick them out?
这种鸟是自然界中的投机分子 These birds are nature's true opportunists,
它们对求生者很有帮助 and they could be a real help to the survivor.
它们可以将你引到刚死的生物那里 They can lead you to a fresh kill,
通常最有效的求生法则就是 and so often, the most efficient way of surviving
将自己变成食腐动物 is just to become a scavenger yourself.
我们到下面去 Let's get down there.
你看它们一直在上空盘旋 And look at them all circling above.
而这就是它们要找的东西 And this is what they're after--
一只腐烂恶臭的死鹿 this stinking, rotten deer carcass.
臭的我都要吐了 Man, that honks.
这只鹿估计已经死了很久了 But look. this is just way gone.
而且 说真的 And really, you know, there's
这上面也没什么东西我能吃 nothing on this for me to eat.
秃鹰的胃酸含量比人类高得多 Vultures have a higher stomach-acid content than humans
所以就算有再多细菌它们也不怕 and can tolerate far more bacteria,
所以它们口中的美食 so what's good for them
绝对不是我能吃的东西 is definitely not good for me.
这块不毛之地荒芜且冷酷无情 These arid lands are harsh and unforgiving--
向人们展示着它最残酷的一面 nature at its most brutal--
但只要具备切当的求生知识 but with the right knowledge,
你就可以在这里找到水 you can find water here.
瞧啊 草莓火龙果 Now, look, strawberry pitaya.
瞧 很容易辨认 See these very distinct,
它们顶部是红色的 red tops to them.
注意 要避开这些针刺 If you can get past the spikes and the spines,
这些果子有助于帮你保持体内的水分 they're good to keep hydrated.
里面是这样的 What I got inside is all of this.
很不错的水果 Nice fruit.
真的是很好吃 And that's truly gorgeous.
一路上注意留心看看 看还有没有这种果子 Could worth keeping an eye out for more of those, if you see.
我即将面临最致命的挑战 Ahead of me lies my deadliest challenge.
我将与美洲大陆上 I come face to face with
最致命的一种毒蛇面对面进行较量 one of America's most lethal snakes.
我绝对不能把手直接伸进去 There's no way I can just stick a hand in there.
被它咬一口 必死无疑 One bite from that can kill a man.
我正与德克萨斯州西部 I'm battling the deep ravines and cnyons
的深沟峡谷展开生死搏斗 of western Texas.
在我的南边是奔腾不息的格兰德河 To the south lies the mighty Rio Grande,
是世界上巡查最严密的边境之一 one of the most monitored frontiers on earth,
也是你到达安全地带的最佳出路 and that's your best chance of reaching safety.
停 停 停 停下 Stop, stop, stop, stop.
你听到了吗 You hear that?
是响尾蛇 That's a rattlesnake.
跟着我 跟着我 Just follow me, follow me.
瞧 在这下面 Yeah, look, under here.
就在那块石头下面 Straight under that rock there.
如果你一不留神 碰到了这些家伙 Yeah, but these guys-- really, they can be real killers
它们绝对会要了你的命 if you stumble across these without knowing.
这种地方正是 And that's just the sort of place
响尾蛇最中意的栖息之处 rattlesnakes would like,
就是石头下方 tucked under the rock,
因为那里可以躲开炙热的阳光 out of this heat of the sun.
人们一直以为 People often think that
蛇喜欢阳光 但其实不然 snakes like the sun, but they don't.
如果它在炎热的日子出来 If he comes out in the heat of the day,
没几小时就会死掉 they can die in just a couple of hours.
如果能把它弄出来 But if we can get him out,
我们就能饱餐一顿了 that would make a good meal.
我不能直接将手伸进去 There's no way I can just stick a hand in there.
先让它待在里面 Just try and just keep him in there,
我们要做个棍子 把它弄出来 and we can go make some sort of stick to get him out.
好了 Okay.
它对此应该没有什么异议 He should be quite happy with that.
让它在里面先待上几分钟 Just stay there for a few minutes.
我知道需要什么来抓它了 I know exactly what we need for this.
快点 我们动作麻利点 Come on, let's make this quick.
我们要做一个钩子 We just need a hook
然后还需要把钩子绑在上面的东西 and then something to tie it all together with.
我要利用这些丝兰 I'll just use this yucca--
它们是制作坚韧长绳的不错材料 gives you a nice, long strand
你可以用它来把钩子绑在棍子上 of material you can use to bind with.
这个办法我最早是从纳米比亚的 I first learned this technique living
布须曼人那学来的 with the San Bushman of Namibia.
它是很好的替代品 Now, it's gonna be pretty makeshift,
不过还不够长 but I haven't got long.
好了 快弄好了 Okay, this will do.
这里有一个小小的钩子 A little bit of a hook on that,
这长度够让我与蛇保持一定距离了 enough length to keep me at distance from the snake.
好了 Okay.
他一出来 肯定会大发雷霆 是不是 As soon as he comes out, he is gonna be pissed, all right?
所以你得把步子放轻点 So light on your feet,
先来看看我是怎么做的 and just watch what I'm doing.
先把背包拿开 Let's get the rucksack out of the way first.
听上去响尾蛇还在里面 That sound tells me the rattler's still in there.
这声音也告诉我 它已经准备好自卫了 It also says that it's ready to defend itself,
但对于它来说 最佳防御就是待在石头下面 but its best defense is to stay in the crevice.
这些蛇之所以喜欢待在这种地方 And this is why these snakes like these sort of places,
是因为在这些地方 你很难逮到它 'cause they're very hard to get out.
如果你将手伸进去 You start putting your hand into it,
你就会被它咬上一口 you're just gonna get bit.
瞧 搞定了 Okay, look, here we go. Ooh.
你看它的头部是菱形的 And that very distinct diamond head,
这表明 and that tells you
你正在和一只夺命杀手蛇打交道 you're dealing with a killer of a snake.
如果它的毒牙刺进你肉里 If he gets those fangs into you,
它就会把血毒素毒液注入你的血液 he'll inject you with this hemotoxic venom.
这会造成你的血液无法凝结 And basically, what it does is stop your blood coagulating.
你最后会呕吐 You end up just vomiting
并伴随着便血 and pooing blood.
那是你能想象到的 That's the nastiest sort of
最痛苦的一种死法 death you can imagine.
好了 我把它弄到这里来 All right, let's put him out,
想办法抓住他 and try and get him.
即使手持长棍 Even with the stick,
我仍要时刻警惕自己所处的位置 I've got to remain focused on where I'm standing.
你的视线一刻也不能离开这些毒蛇 You can't take your eyes off these snakes for a moment.
它们能咬到自身长度三分之二的地方 They can strike up to 2/3 of their own body length.
把它按在地上 叫它没法动 Pinning it down immobilizes the snake
这样我就可以冒险接近它了 just enough for me to risk getting in close.
好了 Okay.
唯一万无一失的办法 And the only way to be really sure
就是将它的头给割下来 is to have its head off.
即便是我已将它斩首 Even though I know I've decapitated it,
但我还是得再检查下 I always double-check.
就算它已经死了 And even after he's dead,
你还是应该多加小心 you got to be careful.
它锋利的毒牙依旧能注射毒素 The head can still inject you,
你肯定不希望看到 and that's what you do not want
毒素被注入自己体内吧 going into your bloodstream.
不管你有多少次对付毒蛇的经验 It doesn't matter how many times you deal with snakes,
当你在对付像这样的致命对手时 you wouldn't be human if your heart wasn't racing
你很难不会心跳加速 when you're dealing with one that's as lethal as this.
在你离开之前 It's good practice to
把毒蛇的头深埋土中也是个不错的选择 bury the head of a venomous snake before you leave.
走在这样的高地上 On high ground like this,
眼睛一定要锁定远方的地标 aiming for a distant landmark,
这样你就不太容易会走弯路 it's pretty straightforward to stay on course
因为一路上有不少地标供你参考 'cause you've got line of sight to follow.
但如果你走在这些地势较低的地方 When you start to then dip into this sort of lower ground,
要想不走弯路就要难多了 it's much harder to maintain your direction.
但有一个好办法 A good technique
就是看着你的影子 is just to look at the shadow--
时刻注意观察身子和影子所成的夹角 look at the angle your shadow's causing on your body
一路上一直要保持同样的夹角大小 and then just maintain that and follow it.
但是需要牢记的是 But bear in mind,
这种方法只在短距离行走中才可行 that's only really good over short distances
原因很简单 因为你的影子会随着时间 'cause, obviously, your shadow's gonna
每小时移动十五度的样子 move about 15 degrees every hour.
这是一片冷酷无情的沙漠 This desert is unrelenting--
干旱 触眼可及的地方都尘土飞扬 dry, dusty terrain as far as the eye can see--
但是即使是最恶劣的地方 but even the harshest places
我们也能发现一些久违的惊喜 could throw up a welcome surprise.
快来看啊 And just check this out.
完全隐藏于沙漠之中 Look, completely hidden in the desert.
看看这里 Look at this--
你可以想象到的最愉悦的景象就在你眼前 about the most welcome sight you can imagine.
这里之所以会出现这片葱葱郁郁的绿荫 And all of this lush and green is
是因为有水源从这下面流过 like that 'cause there's water down there.
能找到这样一块地方 真是太好了 That's a good thing to find.
我发现了水 I found water,
可是要想下到下面去并非易事 but the going doesn't get any easier.
我身处德克萨斯州西部的 I'm deep in the heart of
奇瓦瓦沙漠的中心地带 the Chihuahuan desert, western Texas,
现在我来到一处河谷 and I've reached arroyo.
看看这里 Look at this.
山坡上的这些郁郁葱葱的绿茵 A slash of green vegetation
都是由从火山岩里 fed from spring water
孕育渗出的泉水灌溉着 emerging straight out of the volcanic rock.
能在如此的炎热干燥的 Just unbelievable to find water like this,
沙漠中心地带 in the middle of the desert,
找到水实在是太不可思议了 when it's so hot and so dry.
我要做的第一件事就是 First thing I'm gonna do is
跳进去好好享受下 just have a dunk in it.
这里简直就是天堂 That is heaven.
这些都是火山泉水 All of this is just volcanic spring water,
也就是说它可以直接饮用 which means it's drinkable.
据说这些泉水从岩石中渗透出来 And it's said that a lot of this water takes up to 1000 years
把这里灌满需要上千年的时间 to seep through all the rock and come out of this.
我要把我的瓶子给装满 Let me get my bottle to fill up.
当你找到这样的好地方 When you find something like this,
你得好好地利用下 man, you've got to make use of it.
这景象真是壮观 不是吗 Kind of a pretty imposing place, eh?
圆木及其残骸堆积成山 Logs and debris are left piled high,
这些都是强风暴 evidence of the power of storms
袭击此地时留下的 that hit this region.
要下到河谷下面去得慢点 It makes progress down this arroyo slow work.
眼前的这一切都是由山洪造成的 All of this is the remains of flash floods,
山谷里下过雨之后 and when it rains here in this valley, in this gully,
所有的雨水都会从这里蜂拥而出 all that water just gets rammed through here.
好景不长 And all too soon,
在我前进的道路上又出现了另一道障碍 there's another obstacle in my path.
面对困难的时候要从容淡定 Let's take it easy on this stuff.
等等 这里完全是悬空的 Hang on. All of this is completely overhanging.
我们要另找出路了 Let's try and find another way...
看看这附近有没有别的路 another way around.
看看能不能想个法子到这棵树上 See, if we can somehow reach this tree,
等等 看来我又要使用我的爪钩了 Hang on. I'm actually gonna use the grappling hook again.
我得试试 看我能不能将爪勾抛到 See if I can throw the hook over
这棵树的树枝上去 some of those top branches there.
好了 应该行了 Okay, that's gonna be good.
我来试一下 Let's give this a quick check.
好的 太棒了 Okay, that's cool.
这个爪勾俨然已是我密不可分的好朋友了 Been a good friend to me, this grappling hook.
我最后再用一次 Let's use it one last time,
借助它下到水里去 get us down to the water.
我准备借助这根绳子下到下面去 Want to try and get down to this lower bit.
把碎石都踢开 Kick these off.
好了 Okay.
这是我能想出的唯一方法了 There's only one way to find out
即使只有一线希望 if this is going to work,
我也愿意去尝试 and that's to try it.
抓住了 Got it.
好了 我把绳子给你扔过去 Okay, I'm gonna try to get this across to you.
这些树枝没有我想象地那么结实 Not quite as strong as I hoped, these branches.
你准备好接绳子了吗 Okay, you ready to catch?
一 二 三 One, two, three.
干得漂亮 Nice.
好的 Okay.
过来吧 Go for it.
你没事吧 You all right?
脚踩在这 Get your foot on here.
就这样 抱住树 That's it, against the tree.
很好很好 我们慢慢地下去 出发 Okay. Okay, let's get down this thing. Come on.
关键是 这些树枝 I think these holy branches
都不太结实 很容易折断 are just giving way like that.
我们得像考拉一样 双手环绕抱紧树干 Got to grip right 'round this trunk like a koala bear.
抓紧树干 趁这会赶快喘口气 Trying to grip and just have a quick breathe.
这也太考验大腿了 Definitely works the inner thighs.
大部分时候 So often, these things turn into
事情都比我们想象的要难做的多 much more of a mission than you reckon when you start.
我们还得继续前进 It's vital to keep moving,
但这也就意味着我们要离开这片沙漠绿洲了 but it means leaving this desert oasis behind.
我将要再次回到那个河流干涸 It's not long before the river's dried up
烈日炎炎如火炉一般的沙漠之中 and it's back sinto the furnace heat of the desert again.
看 地上全都龟裂了 Look, all just parched, dry.
沙漠生存指南中写道 Desert-survival guides dictate
避免高温炽热和脱水的最好办法 that the best way to avoid heat and dehydration
就是在夜间行进 is to travel by night.
但是夜间行走在这种崎岖不平的地面上 But this rough terrain is
极易跌下不可预知的深谷而受伤 scarred by deep, unpredictable chasms.
我可不愿意冒这个险 It's not a risk I'm willing to take.
我要找个地方扎营 I'm gonna find somewhere to make camp.
看 这有一个山洞 Look, there's a whole cave up here.
进来检查下 Check this out.
在这种地方扎营再合适不过了 This sort of place is gonna be perfect.
周围还残留着一些动物骸骨 Still a few bones around,
但是仔细观察之后 but by the look of these
你会发现 这些骸骨相当脆 估计有些日子了 yeah, these are brittle and way old.
这个山洞已经很久没有动物来过了 This hasn't been used for a long time.
在这里唯一有可能受到攻击的方向 The only place I'm vulnerable from
就是前面 is the front.
事实上我们可能需要 Actually might be worth
在这布置一点屏障才行 trying to build some sort of defense here.
德州这一带是生猛的巨型美洲狮的老家 This part of Texas is home to a large and very active cougar population,
在当地也被称为山狮 known locally as mountain lion
你可不想在夜里碰到这些家伙 not a predator you'd want to bump into at nighttime.
这种东西可以用来作为犀利的屏障 Now, this stuff is gonna act as a kick-ass barricade.
它的外号叫恶魔的手杖 it's called devil's walking stick.
看见这上面的刺了吗 See the spines along that?
它能直接划破你的手指 It's gonna go straight through your fingers,
但是如果你看一下它的底部 but if you look down at the bottom of it,
这里却没有刺 there are no spines down here,
所以我就可以用这种植物来当我的屏障 which means I can make my defense out of loads of these.
我要收集一些这种植物 I'm gonna collect a few of these
把它们放在山洞的入口处 to place across the cave entrance.
好了 这样应该就没问题了 Okay, that will do for this bit.
如果我现在在这个角落生个火 Now, if I make a fire in this corner,
火堆也能保护我 that's gonna protect me here, as well.
我准备用一种自人类取火伊始 My plan is to make a fire using a method
就使用的取火方法 that's been around for as long as man has been making fire
钻木取火 the hand drill.
不用火柴 打火石 只用两根木棍 No matches, no flints, just two bits of wood.
等你把上面的树杈削掉 It's even smoother
它就会变得光滑一些 once you've got the bigger bits off.
我等下要用到这些碎石 It's just to use some of this gravel,
把它们放在衬衣里 put it in your shirt,
把树枝放进去 lay this in it,
它起的作用和砂纸一样 and it works like sandpaper.
好了 钻杆已经变得很光滑了 Okay, that's then the spindle, made nice and smooth.
然后 钻板 And then, for the base,
就从这根木棍上弄一截就行了 we just use the end of this solto.
在钻板上挖个小洞 叫做火床 Make a small well in the base, called the hearth,
然后在边缘刻一个小槽 让余烬可以倒出来 then carve a notch in the side to allow the embers to fall out.
我们还要用这片骸骨 Just gonna use this bit of bone, as well,
来接余烬 as an ember pan
把它放在火床下面 to put underneath this hearth.
要生火 就得做好准备工作 And so much of fire is about just good preparation.
做足准备 Plan it well,
希望我能一次成功 and hopefully it will work first time.
好了 弄成这样就大差不大了 Okay, that's the rough shape of it,
接下来 在放一点沙子进去 and then what you want is just a tiny, little pinch of sand,
这是为了在你转钻杆的时候 and that's gonna add a little bit more friction
增加一些摩擦力 when you're spinning the spindle.
你要注意的是 The key with this is not
不要钻的太快把力气一下子用完 tiring yourself out too quickly.
而是要慢慢转 逐渐提高热量 Slowly build up that heat,
等到开始冒烟的时候 and then, as the smoke starts to appear,
你可以稍微加速转动 you can start to speed it all up a bit.
这股烟很能鼓舞人的士气啊 And this smoke is such an enticing sight.
因为你知道 就快要有火了 And you know you're near to fire.
你还要注意 别把你鼻子上的汗 You've also got to watch out you don't drip sweat off your nose
滴到收集余烬的骸骨上了 into your ember pan
如果你和我的鼻子一样大 你就要格外注意了 especially important if you've got a big nose like mine.
这时你最想看到的就是从余烬盆里 And what you want is a continuous plume of smoke
源源不断冒出的烟雾 coming from the ember pan,
这时你就知道 and then you know
你离成功取火不远了 you got the potential to make fire.
快点 Come on.
接下来我们要非常小心地处理这些余烬 Okay, and then we'll, super gently with this,
把余烬都倒进去 just tip that in.
然后我们要做的是 And what you want to do is
轻轻把余烬倒进这里 这样余烬就能继续燃烧 tip it like this so it stays as one ember.
这个旧鸟巢是最合适的火种 This old bird's nest makes perfect tinder.
把它小心的拿在手里 And then protect it.
想像一下 你手里捧着一只蝴蝶 Sort of imagine you trying to hold a butterfly,
不能太紧 否则你会把火闷掉 not too tight that you're gonna smother it,
但也不能太松 否则会掉下来 but not too loose that it's gonna get away.
我们成功了 Okay, there we go.
火 Fire.
这种感觉实在是太好了 And that's such a good feeling.
用钻木取火的方式来生火 Getting fire going just from hand drill,
不用火柴或者其它东西 with no matches or anything,
你知道 帮我们在野外求生的东西 and, you know, the answer to so much of survival
就在我们身边 is all around us.
前人用这种方法生火 People have been doing this sort of thing
已经有几千年了 for thousands of years,
只要我们谨遵前人教诲 我们就能生存 and we survive if we listen to them.
火在熊熊燃烧 My fire going,
我要把这条蛇剥皮然后烤熟 I can skin this snake and get it cooked.
把尾巴砍掉 Take the rattle off,
把这个带回去送给我小儿子当礼物 give that has a present to my little boy,
然后我要把这条蛇 and then the meat of this
放在"恶魔的手杖"上面 just rest on a bit of this devil's walking stick.
这样做的好处就是 因为上面有很多刺 Good thing about this -- because of all the spikes,
所以可以把蛇肉牢牢地钉在上面 it's gonna grip to it really nicely.
而且这种木材点不着 And then the green wood won't burn.
蛇肉会自然地烤熟 The snake will cook.
我的晚餐就有着落了 That's supper.
外面还有亮光 There's still light to
我准备出去找一些"石炭酸灌木"来作垫子 collect some creosote bush for a mattress.
人们常说在野外求生的时候 They say that in survival terms,
良好的睡眠 a good night's sleep
和饮食同样重要 is as good as a meal.
现在我二者皆备了 Now I've got both.
这些是铺垫子的好材料 This is good stuff to sleep on,
不仅是因为虫子对它敬而远之 not only 'cause the bugs hate it,
可以让我免受虫子的打扰 keeps them away from me,
而且它还能掩盖我的气味 but it also masks my smell,
这样美洲狮就不会来我这里"做客"了 which is gonna help me keep the mountain lions away from this cave.
为何这里的每一样东西不是多刺 Why is it that everything around here is either spiky,
尖锐 就是想要你的命 sharp, or out to kill you?
人们总说蛇肉的口感类似鸡肉 And people often say that snakes taste like chicken.
但事实是 But you know what?
他们说错了 These don't.
这口感更像是 It's more like
烧烤出来的肌腱 骨头和皮 flame-grilled, sinewy, bone and skin.
这是一个美丽又平静的夜晚 It's a beautiful, still night.
这里的夜晚静悄悄 美妙极了 It's amazing, the silence out here.
但是人有三急 But I do need to pee,
我要试着用从这些"魔鬼的手杖"之间尿出去 so I'm gonna try and aim it through the devil's walking stick.
好了 Okay.
这下好多了 That's better.
人们总说求生不是一件体面的事情 And they always say survival isn't pretty.
我想我体会到这句话的意思了 I guess I know what they mean.
我要试着再睡一觉 Ugh, just try and get some sleep.
我在德克萨斯州西部 I spent the night in a cave
奇瓦瓦沙漠深处的小洞穴里渡过了一夜 deep in the Chihuahuan desert, western Texas.
由于这里连续几个月都没有降水 或只有少量降水 With little or no rainfall for months on end,
要在这块炎热的北美洲沙漠中求生 staying hydrated is the most critical element to survival
保持身体的水分至关重要 in this parched region in north America.
那只在岩石上休憩的蜥蜴 A lizard resting on the rocks
可以为人体提供蛋白质 will provide a quick burst of protein
只要你能抓得到它 if you can catch it.
小家伙跑得真快 Fast little fella,
你应该把它的头去掉 but, actually, if you just take the head off that
然后把内脏什么的挤出来 and then squeeze the guts out,
然后你就可以在路上慢慢嚼它了 that's gonna be a good little munch on the way.
那边有河 There's the river.
看见了吗 See that?
格兰德河 The Rio Grande,
美国和墨西哥的界河 and the border of Mexico.
在这条河上 到处都有边防巡逻队的身影 And the border-control guys are gonna be all over this.
他们在你头上的无人气球上装了摄像头 You know, they have cameras in unmanned balloons,
他们会沿河不停地巡逻 patrols going up and down the river.
只要你能下到河里 If you can reach that,
自然有人会来找你 you're gonna get found.
这条河在你身下几百英尺[约合66米] The river is several hundred feet below,
但只要用脚和背分别抵着两边的岩石 but by pushing my back and feet against either side,
我就可以用烟囱攀登法 I can use these narrow fissures
沿着这条狭小的缝隙降至谷底 to chimney-climb my way down.
我现在只能靠脚抠住又松又散的岩壁 My feet are wedged on about one toe's worth of
但也就只有一个脚趾那么宽 loose, crumbling, horrible stuff.
我不喜欢这种感觉 I don't like this feeling very much.
贝尔 别抱怨了 快下去吧 Bear, stop complaining. Get down it.
把步伐变慢 保持平稳 至关重要 It's vital to keep your movements nice and slow,
要时刻用身体抵住岩壁不能松 and always keep body pressure against the rock face.
但是看不到下面到底有多深 What I don't like is I just can't see
这让我很是难受 how big a drop it is under me,
到底是20英寸[5厘米] whether it's 20 foot
还是200英寸高[5米] or 200 foot down that shaft.
不过下面开始变宽了 It's definitely beginning to widen out, though.
这可不好 Oh, man, that's bad.
这里太陡了 直接到底 That's bad. That's just a sheer overhang drop down there.
这里肯定是没法爬了 And that is not climbable.
我们得借助下这根绳子 We've got to use this rope somehow.
得想办法把它栓在哪 We'll work out some way of attaching this.
我要临时做个螺母应个急 I'm gonna try and improvise some way of making, like, a nut.
其实就是一种塞进石头里的攀爬工具 It's a climbing tool that jams into a rock
你可以把绳子绑在上面 that you can attach a rope to.
有很多次我都被困于绝境 A number of times, I've found myself in a sticky jam.
但那时你能感觉到大脑在飞快地运转 You can just feel your mind racing,
不一会一大堆疯狂的主意就冒了出来 and loads of mad ideas come into it.
最后你想到的主意 And eventually, one of them, you think,
"等一下 "Hang on --
在拧一下就行了" with a little bit of a tweak, "
总有一个是有用的 some of the lone last line could work.
好了 看 Okay, look.
这个临时应急的攀岩螺母就做好了 That's gonna be the actual climbing nut itself.
应该能承受住我的体重 And all of that should take my weight.
这么爬下去可不行 太危险了 Bit of a precarious position, this one --
我要把螺母塞进这条裂缝 trying to get this nut into this crack.
行 还算牢固 Yeah, that's relatively solid.
现在我要做的就是把绳子从这穿过去 And then all I got to do is thread the rope through this,
然后顺着它爬下去 climb down on the rope,
然后再把绳子收回来 and retrieve it.
拿好背包 Let's get the rucksack.
好了 把绳子穿过去 Okay, thread that through.
起初看起来很轻松的攀岩 What at first seems like an easy scramble down
在转瞬之间就变得困难重重也更加危险 could quickly turn into something much bigger and much more dangerous.
你一定要给自己留好退路 You always need a way back up.
不然你就会身陷悬崖 Otherwise, you get rimrocked
进也不是 退也不是 -- trapped with no way up or down
只能卡在这里 难以自救 and you're literally stuck between a rock and a hard place.
好了 把绳子收起来 All right, try and get this back.
天呐 Ugh. Oh, man
活过来了 Alive.
把绳子装好 Get this stowed,
继续前进 and get moving again.
终于绝处逢生了 Down the shaft of doom.
你看 Look at that.
好了 Okay.
这里简直就像天堂一样美好 This is gonna be just heaven.
我要沿着这条河继续前进 I'm gonna work my way along the river.
你可能还没注意到 You may not know it,
但你此时已经处于监控之下了 but you're almost certainly being monitored.
你只能寄希望于自己触发了监控系统 You have to hope that you trigger the system,
这样巡逻队才会来找你 the border patrol come to investigate.
这是巡逻车的声音 That's the sound of a sheriff's patrol car,
我得救了 which means my way out of here.
我深陷这片沙漠之中 This desert has sucked me in,
体验了它最冷酷无情的一面 chewed me up,
所幸最后逃出生天 and spat me out,
如果说我学到了什么 那就是 and if I've learned one thing, it's this
千万别惹德克萨斯 -- don't mess with Texas.
