0:00:02 > 0:00:04This programme contains strong language
0:00:04 > 0:00:06For many young Brits, life has never been more of a struggle.
0:00:06 > 0:00:09There isn't really any opportunities, there isn't really any jobs.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11They may be broke...
0:00:11 > 0:00:13Well, that's my money gone, going on a bet.
0:00:13 > 0:00:15I've never been in so much debt in my life.
0:00:15 > 0:00:17..stuck in a rut...
0:00:17 > 0:00:18People think I'm lazy, but I'm not.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21I want something that actually challenges me.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23..or just want more.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Two days a week I have to do this - digging shit out of a hole!
0:00:26 > 0:00:28But now...
0:00:29 > 0:00:31..they have the chance of escape.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Around the world, there are manual jobs where young people
0:00:35 > 0:00:37can strike payday gold.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Definitely some good money to be earned.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41It sort of comes down to the individual
0:00:41 > 0:00:43and how much money do you want to make.
0:00:43 > 0:00:44The sky's the limit.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46You work hard, you're going to make the money.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48The catch?
0:00:48 > 0:00:50They're some of the toughest jobs on the planet.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Covered in cow shit 24/7,
0:00:53 > 0:00:55and if they're not shitting on you, they're running at you.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Today they would have cried like little bitches.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00They would have cried like that there.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Now young Brits in need of a cash injection...
0:01:05 > 0:01:08I'm not coming home until I have that money.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11..are being given the chance to earn the big bucks.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13- Oh, why the- BLEEP- did I sign up for this!
0:01:14 > 0:01:17That is the brutalest job I've ever done in my life.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20And it's no good complaining cos we don't give a shit!
0:01:20 > 0:01:23And it could change more than just their bank balance.
0:01:23 > 0:01:24Ooh!
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Hey!
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Before I came here, I didn't have any confidence in myself.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33The question is, can they stand the pace?
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Now you're working three steps below everyone. No walking.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38I want you running. Whole day.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40I just want to head-butt him so badly!
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Or will the punishing world of manual labour...
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Oh, Brent!
0:01:45 > 0:01:46Oh...
0:01:46 > 0:01:49I can't handle this shit! It's hurting me.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52..send them screaming back to the UK?
0:01:52 > 0:01:53Oh!
0:01:54 > 0:01:56I just desperately want to go home.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Meet Keiran, Shannon and Danny...
0:02:11 > 0:02:13..three Brits all looking to transform their lives
0:02:13 > 0:02:15and earn serious cash.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17I've been knocked down, my confidence is shot.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19I've still got dreams, I haven't given them up.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21I just haven't had the chance to grab them yet.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24My mother and father can't keep on supporting me.
0:02:24 > 0:02:25They won't be able to retire
0:02:25 > 0:02:27till they're probably about 90
0:02:27 > 0:02:28if I keep on being this, like,
0:02:28 > 0:02:31party queen and go out, keep on drinking.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33I need a bit of discipline and structure in my life
0:02:33 > 0:02:34cos at the moment it's everywhere.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Going to the pub and getting drunk don't pay wages,
0:02:39 > 0:02:41like, I want to get out and be able to do something.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45In an effort to change their lives and boost their bank balance,
0:02:45 > 0:02:48they've signed up for one of the toughest jobs on the planet...
0:02:52 > 0:02:54..tree planting in the Canadian wilderness.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05Every year millions of trees are cut down for paper and wood.
0:03:05 > 0:03:06Each of those trees must be replaced.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10And that's done by hand.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Surrounded by bear-infested forests,
0:03:15 > 0:03:18the Brits will rough it on a planter's camp.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Each day they'll head into the wilderness
0:03:20 > 0:03:24and plant thousands of trees in this back-breaking, arduous
0:03:24 > 0:03:27and mentally demanding job.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30This is a tough job and you've got to be working hard,
0:03:30 > 0:03:33getting sore and being hot and getting attacked by bugs
0:03:33 > 0:03:35day in, day out.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37The day-to-day work is definitely back-breaking.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39The weather, the mosquitoes,
0:03:39 > 0:03:41the fact that you're never resting enough.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43It makes the job mentally hard
0:03:43 > 0:03:45and that's why people cry a lot.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48You've got to work your body to the point where you can't work any more
0:03:48 > 0:03:49and just keep going.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54I'm pretty sure everybody who's done this job has cried at least one.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59But this punishing job comes with one major perk...
0:04:02 > 0:04:05You can make 10,000-15,000 in a couple of months.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08It's good money.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Our trio will join thousands of young people
0:04:11 > 0:04:14who flock to British Columbia for one of the best paid seasonal jobs
0:04:14 > 0:04:15in the world.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19But can the Brits hack it?
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Or will they dig themselves a deep Canadian hole?
0:04:23 > 0:04:27I want to do a bit of travelling, maybe experience different jobs...
0:04:27 > 0:04:29But I wouldn't say no to, like, a rich husband
0:04:29 > 0:04:32and just being a WAG or something.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35My favourite pulling boxers, these.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37If I'm going to pull, then...
0:04:37 > 0:04:40The one thing I'm worried about the most is the food over there
0:04:40 > 0:04:43because I'm an extremely fussy eater.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46It could make the four weeks tougher than it needs to be.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Armed with their one-year working visas,
0:05:04 > 0:05:06the Brits arrive in Western Canada.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08- Nice to meet you. - You all right?- Yeah.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10- Hiya, I'm Keiran ... - Nice to meet you.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- All right, I'm Shannon. You all right?- I'm good.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Yeah, they seem like a lovely bunch of people.
0:05:15 > 0:05:16Now I'm here, I'm here for the work.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19I can't wait to getting my hands dirty and get started.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21I'm knackered. I stink.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24But I'm excited and I'm...raring to go.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29I have bought 20 pairs of eyelashes with me,
0:05:29 > 0:05:31but I'm a bit scarce on the eyelash glue,
0:05:31 > 0:05:34so I'm a bit worried that I'm going to have to, like, make my own
0:05:34 > 0:05:37on camp with a bit of mud and a stick or something.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45Back home in South Wales, 20-year-old Shannon has one passion.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50I am probably the most materialistic girl you will ever meet.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53I will buy loads of clothes, everything for myself,
0:05:53 > 0:05:55instead of paying a bill.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59It's not just bills Shannon ignores.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02My mother calls me selfish because I'd probably buy myself
0:06:02 > 0:06:06something for Christmas instead of her...which is quite bad!
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Shannon does have a job - when she feels like it -
0:06:11 > 0:06:14working with her mum as a hairdresser.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Shannon, could you shampoo Mrs Ashford for me, then, please?
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Two seconds, texting, like.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23'I would say Shannon is lazy, slovenly. She thinks she'
0:06:23 > 0:06:25can have anything she wants in life,
0:06:25 > 0:06:26but without doing an awful lot.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30'Shannon just lives her life for Shannon, basically.'
0:06:30 > 0:06:32(Stop texting.)
0:06:32 > 0:06:33Desperate for her daughter to work,
0:06:33 > 0:06:37Shannon's mum set her up with her own salon.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39But Shannon's love of being on the lash
0:06:39 > 0:06:41means she only works two days a week.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44OK, thanks. Bye.
0:06:44 > 0:06:45Phone call for you, that was.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Did you take their number? Did you ask who it was?
0:06:47 > 0:06:49- Haven't got a clue.- Oh.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Most people would jump at the chance of their own business,
0:06:52 > 0:06:54but you can't really go out on a Friday night,
0:06:54 > 0:06:57get absolutely legless and roll in on a Saturday at 12 o'clock
0:06:57 > 0:07:00like...everywhere. Can't do it.
0:07:00 > 0:07:01Where's my magazine gone?
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Where's your magazine gone?
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Now Shannon's mum has to run the business for her.
0:07:06 > 0:07:07Thanking you!
0:07:07 > 0:07:10That was worth interrupting me for, weren't it?
0:07:10 > 0:07:12'Basically, I was left to pick up the pieces,'
0:07:12 > 0:07:15because if it wasn't for me, she'd have no business left.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17If she didn't step in and take it...
0:07:17 > 0:07:19God knows where I'd be now.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Probably be bankrupt.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26Shannon's realised her behaviour has to change.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28'If I had children like me,'
0:07:28 > 0:07:31probably would have left me outside a long time ago.
0:07:31 > 0:07:37'I think we always strive to give our children that little bit more.'
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Unfortunately, they will just sit there and take and take and take.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46This is Shannon's chance to prove she CAN grow up
0:07:46 > 0:07:48and take responsibility for her life.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53- Oh, my God.- Go on, lass!
0:07:53 > 0:07:56I really need to be shown what else is out there.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58I don't know what I want at the moment,
0:07:58 > 0:08:01and I need something else to make me buck up my ideas
0:08:01 > 0:08:03and come back a new person.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09In Canada, the trio are heading into British Columbia's
0:08:09 > 0:08:11vast forested region.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19This is where the planters have set up camp,
0:08:19 > 0:08:22and for the next few weeks, it will be home for our three Brits.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33Greeting the rookies is Field Supervisor, Shelby Leslie.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Hello ...
0:08:36 > 0:08:38It'll be his job to whip our trio into shape.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Welcome, welcome. I'm Shelby.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43- I'm Shannon. - Shannon? Pleased to meet you.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45- Hi, I'm Keiran. - Keiran?
0:08:45 > 0:08:47- Keiran, yeah.- Keiran, that's an old friend of mine.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49- I'm Danny.- What was it? - Nice to meet you.
0:08:49 > 0:08:50- Danny.- Dunley?- Danny.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52So welcome. Never been to Canada, eh?
0:08:52 > 0:08:54- No.- Well, this is it, man.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Well, looks like we've got a little bit of weather coming in,
0:08:56 > 0:08:59so you guys will probably want to set up your tent
0:08:59 > 0:09:01and put on some warm clothes.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03It'll drop below zero often here at night so...
0:09:03 > 0:09:06So yeah, you guys set up your shit and then tomorrow we'll...
0:09:06 > 0:09:09teach you guys how to plant some trees, hopefully make some money.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14The camp is home to 47 young people.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Facilities are basic and everyone lives collectively.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23- Guys...- Yeah?
0:09:23 > 0:09:24Being taken here...
0:09:24 > 0:09:27My first impression of camp, it looks like a shit-hole.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29There's lots of wood...
0:09:29 > 0:09:31sawdust and mud.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33- Shannon, you can sleep down there. - Yeah, there you go.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Think that's where the toilet chute goes by the way, just you know.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39And it looks like something from like a scary movie...
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Like... Hostel or something.
0:09:41 > 0:09:42Urgh!
0:09:42 > 0:09:45I'm a lot different to the girls walking round.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47I'm walking round with an umbrollie, like,
0:09:47 > 0:09:50cos I don't want to get my hair wet, and they, like, don't care.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52- Nice to meet you. - I'm Shannon.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55- Nice to meet you. - I love your umbrella.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57'Like they probably wouldn't give a shit if they stood in shit,
0:09:57 > 0:09:59'but I'd be screaming petrified.'
0:09:59 > 0:10:02I saw the girl that walking with an umbrella...
0:10:02 > 0:10:03which was pretty funny.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06I mean, I've never seen an umbrella in a planting camp in my life!
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Right, we need to get the tent out first though, don't we?
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Planters live in tents, whatever the weather,
0:10:12 > 0:10:14and our guys need to get theirs up before dark.
0:10:14 > 0:10:15Right...
0:10:15 > 0:10:18It's my spot here.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20There's poo right there, though. Typical.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23- Oh, right there as well. - I haven't got a fucking clue.
0:10:23 > 0:10:24Open the instructions.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26I haven't put a tent up in ages, either.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28I don't get out my room, to be honest, so...
0:10:31 > 0:10:36Back home in Plymouth, 23-year-old Keiran dreams of a career in music.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40I'm always playing music, writing music.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44The dream job would be playing music that I created with friends,
0:10:44 > 0:10:46travelling on a tour bus,
0:10:46 > 0:10:48playing at a different city every day.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52But for the last two years, Keiran's been unable to find work of any kind.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56I have been applying for work. It's not like I've not been trying,
0:10:56 > 0:10:58but I'm not getting all the interviews.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01I either get rejection e-mails or just don't get anything at all.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06Unable to find a job, Keiran spends most of his time playing Xbox
0:11:06 > 0:11:09and chatting to mates online...
0:11:09 > 0:11:12much to the annoyance of his parents.
0:11:12 > 0:11:13He stays up far too late.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Unfortunately we have to go to bed because we work
0:11:16 > 0:11:19and we can't be there to monitor him all the time.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Well, I've gone in there sometimes at two in the morning
0:11:21 > 0:11:24cos he's woken me up with his laughing and I've lost it and said,
0:11:24 > 0:11:26"Will you bloody go to bed because I need to get to sleep!
0:11:26 > 0:11:28"I'm up at five!"
0:11:28 > 0:11:30What's the point of getting up early?
0:11:30 > 0:11:32I haven't got anything to get up early for.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35I stay up really late because my friends do
0:11:35 > 0:11:37and I've got someone to talk to,
0:11:37 > 0:11:39because during the day they're at work and I'm not.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44Keiran's parents think he could do more to find work.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46There's things he could go for,
0:11:46 > 0:11:48but he just hasn't got that willpower just to...
0:11:48 > 0:11:50just to push and think, "I'll try that".
0:11:50 > 0:11:53It's not because I'm lazy, it's because I just haven't got
0:11:53 > 0:11:55the get-up-and-go to do something,
0:11:55 > 0:11:57I haven't got the funds to go out into town and, you know,
0:11:57 > 0:11:58look for work properly.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03My confidence is shot, to be honest, looking for work
0:12:03 > 0:12:05and not getting anything back.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08It makes me wonder why, what's wrong with me?
0:12:08 > 0:12:09I'm fed up of this place.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12I don't feel that there's enough opportunity for me.
0:12:12 > 0:12:13Kind of...
0:12:13 > 0:12:14in a tunnel at the moment
0:12:14 > 0:12:17and there doesn't seem to be any light at the end.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Now Keiran's a long way from home.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27I think it will do him the world of good and it might make him think,
0:12:27 > 0:12:30"Hang on a minute, there is something outside my bedroom window.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32"There's a big, big world out there
0:12:32 > 0:12:35"and I'm going to grab it with both hands and make the most of it."
0:12:35 > 0:12:36I'd like to see him work up a sweat.
0:12:38 > 0:12:39It's a chance for me
0:12:39 > 0:12:42to prove to myself that I am better than I think I am.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45And I need to prove to my parents, to people that doubted me,
0:12:45 > 0:12:47the people that never gave me that chance
0:12:47 > 0:12:49that I can do it, if given the chance to.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51You don't get any credit for backing down.
0:12:53 > 0:12:54Keiran's got this far.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Ow!
0:12:57 > 0:12:59If he can cope without the comforts of his bedroom...
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Fucking pissing me off!
0:13:01 > 0:13:03..he'll have taken a massive step forward.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05My tent's flooded already.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09To be fair, I'm pretty useless at putting up a tent.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11And I don't really know what I'm doing,
0:13:11 > 0:13:14but we'll get there eventually.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16There's towels, I'll dry it off.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20Our trio pitch their tents...with a bit of expert help.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23- That was hard.- High five. Good job.
0:13:23 > 0:13:24Thank you so much.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27Just in time for the evening meeting.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31I wanted to introduce Keiran and Shannon and Danny from the UK,
0:13:31 > 0:13:34who are going to be joining our group. Yeah.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37- So...welcome. - APPLAUSE
0:13:37 > 0:13:39- I'm Keiran.- Keiran.- Shannon.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Everybody thought the same thing when they saw them,
0:13:42 > 0:13:45cos they didn't look like, obviously, the typical tree planters.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48My original thought when I saw the new guys in camp
0:13:48 > 0:13:51was, "Oh, man, there is a punk band in camp now."
0:13:51 > 0:13:55I was like, "They're just a rock band." This is hilarious.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58That was my first thought seeing them trying to set up tent,
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Shannon with her umbrella and dress and everything,
0:14:01 > 0:14:04I was like, "This is not going to work."
0:14:04 > 0:14:05CHATTER
0:14:07 > 0:14:09The young people who come to tree plant
0:14:09 > 0:14:13are lured by the way of life as much as the money.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17It's the nomadic lifestyle, you kind of live moment by moment,
0:14:17 > 0:14:19so I figure, make the most of it,
0:14:19 > 0:14:22plus you can make some really good money in three months.
0:14:24 > 0:14:25I make a lot of money.
0:14:25 > 0:14:30I make my full year's money and pay my, like, university tuition
0:14:30 > 0:14:34and my rent for the year just from my summer.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Fitting into this alternative lifestyle
0:14:37 > 0:14:41could be as much of a challenge as the job itself.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44I am feeling absolutely petrified about the work.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46And, to be honest, it sounds like hard work.
0:14:46 > 0:14:51I like work where you work but you don't seem like you're working.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56This is the busiest I've been for the last, you know, two years of my life.
0:14:56 > 0:15:01I can safely say, I'm glad I'm here right now and not stuck in my bedroom being a recluse.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03I'm just looking forward to just getting on with it.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07And I am going to struggle, so I am trying to prepare myself now
0:15:07 > 0:15:11for it just being kind of horrific, you know,
0:15:11 > 0:15:15but...I think I'm going to do better than the other two,
0:15:15 > 0:15:17I've got to be honest.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19LAUGHTER
0:15:19 > 0:15:22In Leeds, unemployed 24-year-old Danny
0:15:22 > 0:15:26is notorious for being a party animal.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28The priorities of my life
0:15:28 > 0:15:32are to go out as much as possible and enjoy my life while I'm young.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34So if that means necking a load of beers,
0:15:34 > 0:15:39getting blathered with my mates and having a bloody good time and pulling some birds, why not?
0:15:39 > 0:15:43I don't believe there's such a thing as partying too much.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46I'd say, to be honest, I go out at least five nights a week,
0:15:46 > 0:15:49which it's mental to say that I'm unemployed, really, innit?
0:15:49 > 0:15:52It sounds like I'm bragging about it and, in a way, I am.
0:15:52 > 0:15:53CHEERING
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Danny's mates ensure he's always got a drink in hand.
0:15:58 > 0:15:59And he's so broke...
0:15:59 > 0:16:03- HORN - ..he's still living at home with his dad.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06He don't have the work ethic that we had.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09Dan just does not conform, he don't think
0:16:09 > 0:16:11that that's how it works, you know what I mean?
0:16:11 > 0:16:12He doesn't understand about working.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16He just thinks he can get through life without doing anything.
0:16:16 > 0:16:17Ey up.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20'I think my dad, if I'm being honest, is a bit fed up of it now.'
0:16:20 > 0:16:24It drives me mental, because I'm out six o'clock of a morning
0:16:24 > 0:16:28and he's sometimes rolling in at that time pissed up. Sorry!
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Danny's never paid his dad rent,
0:16:30 > 0:16:33so tree planting could be the chance
0:16:33 > 0:16:35to prove he can graft for an honest wage.
0:16:35 > 0:16:40You need to have a job, so this'll make your mind up one way or other.
0:16:40 > 0:16:41You heard this?
0:16:41 > 0:16:44'Going to a pub and getting drunk don't pay wages.'
0:16:44 > 0:16:48I want to work hard. Well, I say I want to work hard, I want to make some fucking money.
0:16:48 > 0:16:49BIRDSONG
0:16:51 > 0:16:54In Canada, it's 6.30 in the morning.
0:16:56 > 0:17:00Danny, Keiran and Shannon are about to find out
0:17:00 > 0:17:03how tough tree planting can be.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Last time I was up this early in the UK,
0:17:05 > 0:17:09I was probably going to sleep at this time, really.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18The planting site is known as The Block,
0:17:18 > 0:17:21and is located deep in the wilderness.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26- How are you feeling, Shannon?- Shit.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30The Brits will be trained by Field Supervisor, Shelby.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Make sure you're on top of your tallies.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36It's a tough job, you know, there's no mistake about that.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38You're going to be sore, guaranteed.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40If you're doing this job, you're going to be sore.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44You're back's going to hurt, your legs are going to hurt,
0:17:44 > 0:17:46your mind's going to hurt. You hurt in this job,
0:17:46 > 0:17:50it's just kind of part and parcel of the whole package.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54Our trio are part of a workforce of 47 people,
0:17:54 > 0:17:58who must plant two million trees in just four weeks.
0:17:58 > 0:18:03Push it forward, right? And then you bring it down like this, right?
0:18:03 > 0:18:06And then the..the tree slides in along the back of your shovel.
0:18:06 > 0:18:11You want to make sure you protect the roots. And then what you do...is just a little one of those.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14(How do I do it?)
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Planters earn around 13 cents for each tree planted.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21Doesn't sound much, unless you plant like Lucas,
0:18:21 > 0:18:24one of the camp's top earners.
0:18:24 > 0:18:29Yeah, you've just got to focus and keep your momentum going,
0:18:29 > 0:18:32keep your body moving and work as hard and well as you can.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34And what are your hopes for the day?
0:18:34 > 0:18:37Um, I hope to hit 5,000 trees.
0:18:37 > 0:18:43So that'll be 550 minus camp cost, 525 in my pocket,
0:18:43 > 0:18:47which isn't the most I've made from a day of planting, but it's pretty good.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53To get that kind of cash,
0:18:53 > 0:18:57a planter would have to put a tree in the ground every four seconds.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Feet moving, hand in the bag,
0:19:03 > 0:19:06grabbing my next tree, and then you just keep going.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10Like, this is...this is gravy, man. This is what planters call cream.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13- This is 500 land, you know?- Yeah?
0:19:13 > 0:19:15For sure.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22Got to get 'em a bit deeper there, Keiran, you're a little shallow.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26- Stand up, Danny!- Oh, fuck!
0:19:30 > 0:19:32I'll just check some of our trees here.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36A little bit shallow. See how when I just kind of pull this back a little bit
0:19:36 > 0:19:37there's the plug right there?
0:19:37 > 0:19:41You need to get that just a little deeper, cos when I pull that out, right?
0:19:41 > 0:19:45'So we've got Danny boy there, he seems keen, you know,'
0:19:45 > 0:19:50he's got the motivation, he's...he's probably the fastest one right now.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52It seems like he's got the drive.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54I can see him really picking up the pace.
0:19:54 > 0:20:00Shannon, she's spatially aware of what's going on to...to some degree.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02How am I supposed to like...
0:20:02 > 0:20:05'She seems to be planting consistent.'
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Fuck! I hurt!
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Keiran, er, he's kind of trying to figure it out.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13I think he's trying to figure it out,
0:20:13 > 0:20:16but he definitely needs to..to pick up the pace a little bit.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Ooh!
0:20:20 > 0:20:23I feel like a fucking hillbilly.
0:20:23 > 0:20:24Why do they need logs anyway?
0:20:24 > 0:20:27They don't have log fires no more.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29They don't even make paper out of wood no more, though.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32- What?- I'm joking. I'm joking.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34SHANNON LAUGHS
0:20:34 > 0:20:38By lunchtime, the Brits are already flagging.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41There's something you guys want to be aware of, right?
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Like, you don't see guys like sitting around, like rolling smokes.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47You know, it's like once you get into it,
0:20:47 > 0:20:48it's like you've got to go, right?
0:20:48 > 0:20:53Cos I mean, to make money in here you got to.. you got to put the trees in the ground, right?
0:20:53 > 0:20:56I'm so tempted to just dig a big hole and just chuck 'em all in and say I've done it.
0:20:56 > 0:21:03To be honest, I can't see why someone would, like, drag theirself out and plant all these trees.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Like, 120 was enough for me.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Like, I could go home and sleep now.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10But there's no time for a nap.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14The rookies have three weeks to prove they can plant enough trees
0:21:14 > 0:21:18to be asked to stay on for the rest of the season and earn serious cash.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21It is hard, but it's enjoyable hard.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25You're doing something good, you're in a different country,
0:21:25 > 0:21:29and anybody who moans about it are just idiots, you know.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35It's doing this technique with the shovel that I just cannot get.
0:21:35 > 0:21:36I keep messing it up.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Work on just using the one hand, man,
0:21:38 > 0:21:41cos you're not doing yourself any favours by using two hands, you know.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Like, it takes a bit of force, you know,
0:21:43 > 0:21:45it's not...it's not eggs in a grocery store, you know.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51I don't know what it is he's doing, honestly.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53The Brits are beginning to realise
0:21:53 > 0:21:57there's a lot more to planting than shoving trees in the ground.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Just work on seeing the trees, so you're not ever double planting,
0:22:00 > 0:22:03and just keep working on your spacing and your density.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07Basically, I can't go in a fucking straight line.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10I should be here, but I planted my trees there.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13I don't even know if I'm supposed to go backwards.
0:22:13 > 0:22:14Really fucking confusing.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17They can fuck off, cos I'm going to go forwards.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25A tree every four seconds, but you can't go at that pace, not a chance.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Shannon's up to a good speed,
0:22:28 > 0:22:31but the physical demands are taking their toll.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34This fucking bag's hurting me,
0:22:34 > 0:22:37this fucking high-vis is cutting into my neck,
0:22:37 > 0:22:39it's fucking boiling and my wrist is stinging like a bitch!
0:22:39 > 0:22:43And I've just dropped my fucking shovel on my toe!
0:22:43 > 0:22:46This is easy ground to work with and, like, you know,
0:22:46 > 0:22:48you're a big strong dude, you should be able to...
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Shelby's been tree planting for ten years,
0:22:50 > 0:22:55and knows that for our rookies, the first few days are the hardest.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58You just need to work hard. Get off the road, you don't make money on the road.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Anybody can come out here and just plant trees for a day.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03You know, Boy Scouts plant trees for a day.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05I think what'll be interesting to see tomorrow,
0:23:05 > 0:23:08is they're pretty quickly going to come to the realisation
0:23:08 > 0:23:11that, you know, this is a tough job and you've got to be bending over
0:23:11 > 0:23:14and working hard and getting sore and being hot,
0:23:14 > 0:23:19until they either can't handle it any more or until the contract's done.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23Take...take your layers off. Like, you know, you're going to be pouring sweat out here
0:23:23 > 0:23:27and you're going to get hot, so take your layers off and just be moving, you know.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Feet moving, feet moving, feet moving, feet moving.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33It's like Fatboy Slim. # Body movement. # Right?
0:23:33 > 0:23:36- You know Fatboy Slim?- I don't listen to him. I don't know.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Ohh! Whatever, whatever song, you know?
0:23:39 > 0:23:43Like if you've got music playing, I hope you're not listening to sad fucking Emo shit, right?
0:23:43 > 0:23:45You want to be listening to like something to jazz you up, right?
0:23:45 > 0:23:47# Body movin'
0:23:47 > 0:23:49# Body movin'
0:23:49 > 0:23:50# We be body movin'
0:23:50 > 0:23:52# Body movin'...
0:23:52 > 0:23:54But Keiran ignores Shelby's advice
0:23:54 > 0:23:57and, eventually, the sun gets the better of him.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59# Body, body, body, body movin'. #
0:23:59 > 0:24:01Ow!
0:24:01 > 0:24:04Oh, I feel horrible. Got a headache.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Too much sun.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08HE CLEARS HIS THROAT
0:24:08 > 0:24:09Way too much sun.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13- Hold that there.- Shannon's also suffering.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17Her wrist has swollen up and needs attention.
0:24:17 > 0:24:18SHUTTER CLICKS
0:24:18 > 0:24:20By mid-afternoon,
0:24:20 > 0:24:23all Keiran and Shannon can do is wait for the day to end.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Fucking phone died!
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Back at camp, Keiran's woes continue.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37With planters burning up to 5,000 calories a day,
0:24:37 > 0:24:39eating well is essential.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45But Keiran's fussy taste in food means he can't find much he likes.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48- Don't like the soup, man?- No.- Have you tried it?
0:24:48 > 0:24:51No. It's got broccoli in it, I don't like broccoli.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53You can't taste broccoli.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55It tastes like chicken.
0:24:57 > 0:24:58I might have your soup!
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Keiran might have an issue with the food,
0:25:02 > 0:25:05but Danny has a different kind of problem.
0:25:05 > 0:25:06I were bored today.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09Fair enough, work is not meant to be exciting,
0:25:09 > 0:25:12but then I choose not to do jobs that I don't want to do.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16I love everything about the whole place, right,
0:25:16 > 0:25:19but the actual job itself is boring.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31And it's about to get even harder.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37The following day, Danny and Keiran
0:25:37 > 0:25:41are getting their first taste of very tough ground,
0:25:41 > 0:25:45while Shannon is confined to camp with her injured wrist.
0:25:45 > 0:25:46SHANNON YAWNS.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54Yesterday, we had them in really easy ground.
0:25:54 > 0:26:00Today, they're going to be running into, you know, rocks and, basically, just lots of rocks.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03They're going to be hitting lots and lots and lots of rocks.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06Basically, today the word of the day is rocks.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08See that?
0:26:08 > 0:26:12That's what you...that's what you're trying to plant trees through!
0:26:13 > 0:26:18How am I supposed to get a fucking plant in there?!
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Rock, rock, rock!
0:26:20 > 0:26:23What am I supposed to do here?
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Mike's been planting for five years
0:26:27 > 0:26:31and knows only too well the challenges of rocky ground.
0:26:31 > 0:26:32The first time being in really tough land,
0:26:32 > 0:26:36especially after the first day was pretty good is, like, really discouraging.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38Especially when it's rocky.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42I remember the first bad land I ever had, I almost quit.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46They always say, "When you've hit a rock, move around a little bit in the circle you're in,"
0:26:46 > 0:26:49and I'm moving around and there's nothing to plant in.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52Rock, rock, rock, rock!
0:26:52 > 0:26:54It's fucking stupid!
0:26:58 > 0:27:01It's not just rocks the Brits have to contend with.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05- You're trees are not deep enough, man.- Now they've got quality checker, Lumi, breathing down their necks.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08The plugs are sticking out on almost all of 'em.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12Deeper than shallower. Always think, put 'em deeper than you think.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16If it's just a few mistakes, then you just tell the person to correct it.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20But if you've told them too many times and it hasn't been corrected,
0:27:20 > 0:27:22then you make them replant.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26And that's the worst thing ever, because the job is so fucking hard.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30It's...it's a soul crusher to go back and replant your trees.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33I fixed your line, but I'm not supposed to do that ever.
0:27:33 > 0:27:34- OK, mate.- Yeah.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37It's hard today.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41In spite of his training, Keiran's not planting correctly.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45Uh-oh. Whoa! You're going way to lightly.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48It should be one movement, no hesitation.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Put your shovel in. Yep. You know the technique, you've been shown.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56We're not planting flowers.
0:27:56 > 0:28:01Right, now plant a few, like, as fast as you can.
0:28:01 > 0:28:02- Really?- Yeah.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09- Don't need your kicker in that ground.- No?- No.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11It's just...one.
0:28:11 > 0:28:17OK? So, open, put it to the wall of the side there...and then plant.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19'Keiran I think is still struggling a bit.'
0:28:19 > 0:28:22Realistically, it can only go up from here, you know.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24You have no lack of strength.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26You've got enough strength to plant a tree, everybody does.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30Keiran's suffered with a lack of confidence since he was young.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35'School life was mixed. I didn't enjoy it mostly.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37'I got bullied quite a bit.'
0:28:37 > 0:28:40A lot of the days, I'd be kind of walking around on my own as well.
0:28:40 > 0:28:44'I think it's just...people just didn't accept difference,'
0:28:44 > 0:28:46and I was different because I stood out.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50Keiran's parents think his experience of bullying
0:28:50 > 0:28:52still affects him today.
0:28:52 > 0:28:53He spends so much time in his room,
0:28:53 > 0:28:56it's a lot of the result of what he's been through.
0:28:56 > 0:29:00Cos he's got no confidence, he doesn't find it easy to go out and meet people,
0:29:00 > 0:29:02so he tends to do the opposite and stay in,
0:29:02 > 0:29:04so he doesn't get in that situation.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06I definitely think my confidence
0:29:06 > 0:29:10is a lot lower than it could have been had I not been bullied all the way through school.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12Keiran thinks his issues
0:29:12 > 0:29:15have affected his ability to push forward in life.
0:29:15 > 0:29:19This is a huge chance for me to wake up a little bit
0:29:19 > 0:29:22and get out of the comfort of my own room,
0:29:22 > 0:29:25get in somewhere where I'm not going to be comfortable,
0:29:25 > 0:29:28and just...give it a go.
0:29:29 > 0:29:33Back in Canada, Keiran's motivation is faltering.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38No.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41It's something all planters struggle with.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46I would say the hardest thing is the mentality of it.
0:29:46 > 0:29:50Like, the work itself is quite...quite difficult, quite physical,
0:29:50 > 0:29:52but if you get into a bad mindset,
0:29:52 > 0:29:56it kind of sends you crashing down, you don't want to be there, you don't want to work.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58And it can be very isolating and lonely.
0:30:01 > 0:30:05I find it way more mentally challenging than it is physically challenging.
0:30:05 > 0:30:09Just trying to stay positive and not start thinking negatively,
0:30:09 > 0:30:13cos it'll snowball and you'll just be grumpy all day.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19It's tough out there.
0:30:19 > 0:30:23After less than two hours, Keiran's drive hits a wall.
0:30:24 > 0:30:28Just lacking in the motivation, I just can't get myself going.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30The more I'm doing, the more agitated I'm getting,
0:30:30 > 0:30:32it's not doing me any good.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34OK. So what motivates you?
0:30:34 > 0:30:36Why did you sign up for this? Did you sign up for this?
0:30:36 > 0:30:38Yeah, I signed up for it,
0:30:38 > 0:30:41I didn't know what it was, I didn't know what it was going to be.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44I just put myself in the deep end and just thought, "Just go for it."
0:30:44 > 0:30:47- I just don't think I'm cut out for it.- Ah, fucking bullshit!
0:30:47 > 0:30:50- That's what I think.- Yeah, well, you know, you're wrong.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53If you quit now, you're giving up before you've even tried
0:30:53 > 0:30:56and you're selling yourself short and you're not going to like yourself.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58Trust me, you're not going to be pleased,
0:30:58 > 0:31:02cos you're just going to go through life living...going through the motions.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04And that's not living, that's just breathing.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09Get on out there!
0:31:09 > 0:31:13He's a little Emo kid, but you can tell he hasn't been far from the nest.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15But he wouldn't be the first kid to be bullied.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18Like, this job attracts all kinds of fucking people.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21And a lot of times weird people that have been bullied and that have been outcast.
0:31:21 > 0:31:25And if there's a place where you can have peace of mind
0:31:25 > 0:31:28and not be fucked around by society, this is the place.
0:31:28 > 0:31:32But mid-afternoon, Keiran manages to get going with his planting.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38But it's not long before he's back at the roadside.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41Oh, man!
0:31:41 > 0:31:43It's too hot!
0:31:43 > 0:31:47Danny finds Keiran's mindset hard to comprehend.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49I knew it were going to be fucking hard work,
0:31:49 > 0:31:51and it is hard work and it's red hot,
0:31:51 > 0:31:56but you can either just get on with it or you can sit and moan about it, which just makes it worse.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59And nobody likes you when you do that.
0:31:59 > 0:32:00But back in Leeds,
0:32:00 > 0:32:04it's Danny who prides himself on avoiding a hard day's graft.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09Life should be enjoyed.
0:32:09 > 0:32:10I like to be free
0:32:10 > 0:32:13and not conforming to what everybody decides for you.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15SHOUTING
0:32:15 > 0:32:19Danny thinks his refusal to play by the rules comes from his childhood.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22My mum and dad broke up when I were six.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24I got kicked out of every single school that I'd been in.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27I just felt like nobody gave a fuck when I were growing up.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30He is rebellious and he does reject society
0:32:30 > 0:32:33and I just pray that one day will find his right way in life.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36Maybe I'm just a little bit lost with where I'm going.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39Because I'm a little bit lost and I don't quite understand it,
0:32:39 > 0:32:41it's just easier to do that to everything, you know.
0:32:41 > 0:32:45He has this problem that settling down, having children,
0:32:45 > 0:32:48having a mortgage, he thinks that that's all wrong
0:32:48 > 0:32:50and you shouldn't go down that route.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53But he's nearly 25 years old now with nothing.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56It's all right going through life and not conforming with anything,
0:32:56 > 0:32:58but at the end of day, you end up working at McDonald's
0:32:58 > 0:33:00at 40 years old, do you know what I mean?
0:33:00 > 0:33:02That's the reality of it.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04Hey, Daniel.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07In Canada, Danny's asked Lumi to take another look
0:33:07 > 0:33:08at the quality of his planting.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13- It looks pretty decent.- Yeah?- Yeah.
0:33:15 > 0:33:16Yes.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19But, you know, this is... this is the easy stuff.
0:33:19 > 0:33:20But it looks nice.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23- Right, man.- Yeah. Thanks again.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26You're going to make it. You're going to make shitloads of money.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28One day...soon.
0:33:28 > 0:33:29- Soon.- Soon.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32Danny's certainly.. You know, something's happened there
0:33:32 > 0:33:34where he's thinking about actually wanting to plant trees
0:33:34 > 0:33:36and not be thinking about other things.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38He's getting a little more present,
0:33:38 > 0:33:40which is what you need when you're planting, you know.
0:33:40 > 0:33:44Father, I've got a blister. An actual blister.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46And me nails are dirty.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49Keiran, I think, is kind of wrapped up in his own mind
0:33:49 > 0:33:51and a tale is being told in his head
0:33:51 > 0:33:54that, you know, for all intents and purposes,
0:33:54 > 0:33:55doesn't really do him any good.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02If they're serious about earning decent cash,
0:34:02 > 0:34:05the next few days will be crucial for the rookie Brits.
0:34:17 > 0:34:21The next day is a day off. Time to chill out by the lake.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25You know Jim Carrey from Dumb & Dumber?
0:34:25 > 0:34:27- Oh, is that who that is? - It's meant to be.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31That looks like a dick, don't it?
0:34:31 > 0:34:33'I definitely feel like I'm getting it now
0:34:33 > 0:34:36'and adapting into the lifestyle.'
0:34:36 > 0:34:39I've only been here for four days and I can already see a difference in myself.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41'Like, at home, I'm not approachable
0:34:41 > 0:34:44'and I'm known for being a bit of a cock.
0:34:44 > 0:34:48'But here, there's no dramas. Everything's peaceful.'
0:34:48 > 0:34:50As hard as the work is, it is worth it.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53But Keiran and Shannon are struggling to fit in.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58Yeah, everyone's nice, everyone's happy.
0:34:58 > 0:35:02Really nice people, but I don't click with no-one.
0:35:02 > 0:35:06Like, I like make-up, I like going out, I like...
0:35:06 > 0:35:08You know, they're totally opposite to what I am.
0:35:08 > 0:35:12So, like, I can't form a bond with anyone.
0:35:12 > 0:35:16I feel quite isolated. Danny's fun, Keiran's fun sometimes.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19I think with Keiran, he moans a bit too much.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22And, like, he moans about the food all the fucking time.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25Like, if you're fucking hungry, you fucking eat anything.
0:35:25 > 0:35:26Just get on with it.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29I can't get in the mindset that people have got here.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32You know, Shelby can say that anyone can do it.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35There is no, you know, "you're not cut out for it". There is no that.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38But it's just, I don't know.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42Not my kind of thing, I guess. I don't know.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52The next morning, it's back to work.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00I've got something on my ear that really hurts.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03I don't know if it's a mosquito or got caught in my zip.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05But I didn't sleep very well last night at all.
0:36:05 > 0:36:09Now the Brits must show they can plant in volume
0:36:09 > 0:36:11to be in with a chance of staying on.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13How you doing, man?
0:36:13 > 0:36:15- Cold.- Yeah?
0:36:15 > 0:36:17I don't know how I'm going to make it through today.
0:36:17 > 0:36:21- You going to plant a thousand trees today?- I fucking am, yeah.
0:36:21 > 0:36:22Cos you'd better.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25- Cos we're going to start judging you.- Yeah.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27- Don't be a pussy.- I won't. - Plant a thousand trees.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35Out on the block,
0:36:35 > 0:36:39our trio face another eight hours of punishing, repetitive work.
0:36:46 > 0:36:50Shannon is back on the job for the first time since her injury.
0:36:50 > 0:36:54My mindset is shit. I don't know what I'm doing.
0:36:54 > 0:36:58I don't mind planting, but I don't want to be here at the same time.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01I'd rather be sat in a five-star hotel, sipping a pina colada,
0:37:01 > 0:37:04in a swimming pool in Thailand or something.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08Fuck!
0:37:08 > 0:37:12Could be tough. Depends whether they've got the wave machine on.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16Nobody fucking likes the actual planting.
0:37:16 > 0:37:20You put 40lbs' worth of trees on your fucking back every morning
0:37:20 > 0:37:23and then you go out and plant them one by fucking one.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26Who the fuck would like that? You gotta be insane. Nobody likes it.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28What's to like is the money, the adrenaline.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31It's the fact that you're trying to push yourself.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34The actual planting of the fucking tree is mind-numbing.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37Whether you plant 2,000 or 5,000, they all suck.
0:37:39 > 0:37:4130-year-old Yanou has a simple solution
0:37:41 > 0:37:43to keeping himself motivated.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46At the end of the day, it's all in the head.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49And, to me, I see dollar signs. That's what I see.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51I set myself a goal every day,
0:37:51 > 0:37:55I need to make that kind of... that much money, or I'm not happy.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58That simple. I think anybody can do it.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03Danny's goal is to plant a thousand trees today.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05Realistically, I wanted to do it today,
0:38:05 > 0:38:07but I've just been told to take it a bit easier
0:38:07 > 0:38:10cos I'm hammering in and I've hurt my hand.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13It's a fucking hard job, so... people do get hurt
0:38:13 > 0:38:15and it doesn't matter if you've been doing it
0:38:15 > 0:38:17for three days or three years.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21His sore hand means he'll miss his target.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25It's just shitty, to be honest. It hurts.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27But no rest for the wicked.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33Shannon's also finding it tough going.
0:38:33 > 0:38:37But it's giving her a new perspective on life back in Wales.
0:38:41 > 0:38:45It's so hard. It's, like, so physically fucking demanding.
0:38:45 > 0:38:49My job is so fricking easy to what these people do.
0:38:49 > 0:38:50I've got so much respect for them,
0:38:50 > 0:38:53that they do this every single fucking day.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58But by late afternoon,
0:38:58 > 0:39:01Shannon's been pulled up by one of the supervisors.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04I've just got to recheck my plants
0:39:04 > 0:39:06to make sure that the buds are in, or something,
0:39:06 > 0:39:08the fucking head, or something.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13I don't know what to do.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16I don't know. Not doing it. Want to go home.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21I'm still not really enjoying it. I'm trying to.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24I'm trying to really... you know, keep it going.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27I appreciate that I've got the chance to be here, but...
0:39:29 > 0:39:30I don't know.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39Another eight-hour shift done.
0:39:39 > 0:39:40Whoo-hoo!
0:39:40 > 0:39:42But it's taken its toll.
0:39:42 > 0:39:46I've got tears of acid. I've got one eyelash on and one off.
0:39:46 > 0:39:51- Oh, dear.- So, one's down my bra, so it looks like a spider somewhere.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54Everything that could have gone wrong, went wrong today.
0:39:54 > 0:39:58My finger's fucked, my wrist is as stiff as morning wood.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01But I'm still smiling.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04Danny's the only one remaining positive.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06Did you enjoy it a bit more today?
0:40:06 > 0:40:09- No.- Definitely not? - No, I don't think...
0:40:09 > 0:40:12I've pushed myself a little bit more today.
0:40:12 > 0:40:16My hand's sore as fuck, though. My thumb is spasming.
0:40:16 > 0:40:17I know I said it was boring,
0:40:17 > 0:40:21but I'd rather talk to myself than fucking plant a thousand trees.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23It's a lonely job, as well. I said it earlier on.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26- So, you're out there, and it's just...- Suit yourself.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28You're just there for yourself, that's it.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30- But work's not meant to be fun. - Yeah, it is.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33- But there's got to be... - What if you're a stripper, you know?
0:40:33 > 0:40:35- Well, to be fair, yeah. - ..sense of enjoyment.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37You've got to have a sense... Yeah.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39I just refuse to do jobs I don't like.
0:40:42 > 0:40:46At dinner, the kitchen lays on a taste of home for the Brits -
0:40:46 > 0:40:49beef and ale pie.
0:40:49 > 0:40:50But Keiran doesn't like it.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55The food is still an issue, even though I've spoke with the chef
0:40:55 > 0:40:58about, you know, seeing if we could work something out.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00But it's just... I feel like a burden.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03I'm that one person out of 60-odd people
0:41:03 > 0:41:04that are having a problem now.
0:41:04 > 0:41:08I don't know. I still feel like... that there's a bubble around me.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12Whilst Keiran is stuck in his bubble...
0:41:12 > 0:41:13WAVERING WHISTLE
0:41:13 > 0:41:17..Danny continues to immerse himself into camp life.
0:41:17 > 0:41:18When I first came, you know,
0:41:18 > 0:41:20I didn't really know what to do at the time.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23It's Duncan's second year as a planter.
0:41:23 > 0:41:28It was awesome, because first off, I didn't really go to camp as a kid,
0:41:28 > 0:41:29so I'm just making up for it.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32I don't really enjoy the tree planting.
0:41:32 > 0:41:33No, me neither, man!
0:41:33 > 0:41:38- The job itself, like, is fucking daunting and...- Yeah.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41Oh, yeah, especially if you put in a day
0:41:41 > 0:41:43and then you put in your numbers
0:41:43 > 0:41:46and you see the people that have done it for a couple of years,
0:41:46 > 0:41:48you see their numbers, especially in your first year,
0:41:48 > 0:41:52you're just, like, "Oh, my God! How did you do that?"
0:41:52 > 0:41:55I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't here for the camp life.
0:41:55 > 0:41:59- Totally.- Cos I genuinely do not like planting trees.
0:41:59 > 0:42:01- It is what it is, and... - It's misery.
0:42:01 > 0:42:04But you need the misery, or else it's just like...
0:42:04 > 0:42:07You've got to go from, like, rock bottom to, like, ohhhh!
0:42:08 > 0:42:11Danny's found it easy to make new friends,
0:42:11 > 0:42:15whereas Keiran prefers to catch up with old friends back home.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18..That's good. About time.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20And Shannon seeks solace in her magazines.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33The following morning, Danny's finger got worse.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38Just keep it... Keep getting ice on it.
0:42:38 > 0:42:39It's bad news.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41He'll be confined to camp for a couple of days
0:42:41 > 0:42:44and won't be able to work or earn any money.
0:42:44 > 0:42:48I've got the most feeble injury possibly known to man,
0:42:48 > 0:42:51which is repetitive strain injury,
0:42:51 > 0:42:55which you can get from too much masturbation, you know what I mean?
0:42:55 > 0:42:57Hopefully, you know, my finger will be all right,
0:42:57 > 0:42:59but I don't want to be a bitch about it.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01I just want to get on with it.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05On the block, the crews are hard at it.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08Despite their doubts,
0:43:08 > 0:43:11Keiran and Shannon's numbers have been increasing.
0:43:11 > 0:43:15If they last three weeks, they could stay on and earn big bucks.
0:43:15 > 0:43:17But they're nowhere to be seen.
0:43:20 > 0:43:22They're still back at the campsite.
0:43:24 > 0:43:28Basically, this morning, woke up and I felt like shit.
0:43:28 > 0:43:29Tossing and turning all night,
0:43:29 > 0:43:32and I just thought, "I don't want to be here."
0:43:32 > 0:43:34I just want to go home, really.
0:43:34 > 0:43:36Just go home and see my family. I think...
0:43:38 > 0:43:41..I've come here and I've experienced it, I've given it my best go,
0:43:41 > 0:43:44and it's just.. it's just not made for me.
0:43:45 > 0:43:48I made my mind up that I wanted to quit last night.
0:43:48 > 0:43:52I know when enough is enough and I'm unhappy here, so...
0:43:52 > 0:43:54I'm definitely done here now.
0:43:56 > 0:43:59Shannon and Keiran break the news to Danny.
0:43:59 > 0:44:02I can't understand why you're going, Keiran.
0:44:02 > 0:44:05It's, like, I don't understand the whole thing of being homesick.
0:44:05 > 0:44:09It's not just that, though. It's loads of things all together.
0:44:09 > 0:44:11- You just don't enjoy it?- Yeah.
0:44:12 > 0:44:15I don't think you've given it a fair chance, though.
0:44:15 > 0:44:19Honestly. You needed this more than both of us.
0:44:19 > 0:44:21We live really outgoing lives.
0:44:21 > 0:44:24But, like, you, you're housebound
0:44:24 > 0:44:27and this were perfect for you to fucking throw yourself
0:44:27 > 0:44:29out your comfort zone and be like....
0:44:29 > 0:44:31It's too far out my comfort zone.
0:44:33 > 0:44:35'The job itself was hard enough as it was,
0:44:35 > 0:44:40'but to add that to being, like, fatigued and the camping issue,'
0:44:40 > 0:44:43the food issue...
0:44:43 > 0:44:47Generally being uncomfortable didn't make anything really easy.
0:44:48 > 0:44:52That evening, Shelby tries to persuade Keiran and Shannon
0:44:52 > 0:44:55to reconsider their decision to quit.
0:44:55 > 0:45:01So, if I'm hearing you guys, you were looking for a culture shock...
0:45:01 > 0:45:03- Something to kick me up the arse. - ..to do what?
0:45:03 > 0:45:06What is kicking you up the arse? What does that produce?
0:45:06 > 0:45:09For me, you know, I'm taking my time with you guys
0:45:09 > 0:45:14because anything less than that is me not doing what I could do.
0:45:14 > 0:45:17What about you, Keiran? What was it that made you want to apply for it?
0:45:17 > 0:45:20Well, for me, it was an opportunity to just go for it.
0:45:20 > 0:45:24Cos it's not every day you get to go and do something like this, is it?
0:45:24 > 0:45:27I'm on the other side of the world, I'm not going to be ungrateful.
0:45:27 > 0:45:28I got given a good chance.
0:45:28 > 0:45:31And I'm not taking that for granted, and I know I'm, like...
0:45:31 > 0:45:34- You've still got a good chance. - Yeah, I know, I know.
0:45:34 > 0:45:36You've still got all that.
0:45:36 > 0:45:40The only... You know, the only person that, you know,
0:45:40 > 0:45:41doesn't have that is you.
0:45:41 > 0:45:44Like, you're the person that's, you know,
0:45:44 > 0:45:46essentially trying to make up their mind
0:45:46 > 0:45:48about whether or not to squander that opportunity.
0:45:48 > 0:45:51- Yeah, well, like... - You've got a full year work visa
0:45:51 > 0:45:55in one of the richest countries in the entire world,
0:45:55 > 0:45:58if not, I would argue, the richest
0:45:58 > 0:46:02in terms of its quality of life and job opportunities, you know.
0:46:03 > 0:46:07So, I mean, to hear you say that you've given it your all
0:46:07 > 0:46:09and you're simply not good enough...
0:46:10 > 0:46:15And I know that to be not the case.
0:46:15 > 0:46:17You guys, like, you know...
0:46:17 > 0:46:21You're... You're right there. It's right there.
0:46:21 > 0:46:25You've got a chance to make it a go and if you sell yourself short
0:46:25 > 0:46:28and say that you're not good enough, it's just not true.
0:46:47 > 0:46:51The following morning, Shannon decides to give it one more shot.
0:46:54 > 0:46:55Agghh... Fuck!
0:46:58 > 0:47:00You're doing well, Shannon.
0:47:00 > 0:47:02I hate it.
0:47:03 > 0:47:04Despite her doubts,
0:47:04 > 0:47:09Shelby can see Shannon's potential as a fully fledged tree planter.
0:47:09 > 0:47:12Shannon planted 700 trees the other day,
0:47:12 > 0:47:15which is really good.
0:47:15 > 0:47:18That's kind of on par for the rest of our rookies,
0:47:18 > 0:47:21so she just needs to stay positive and work hard
0:47:21 > 0:47:24and I don't see any reason why she wouldn't be able to plant
0:47:24 > 0:47:27similar to what she planted the day before.
0:47:27 > 0:47:28Fuck!
0:47:30 > 0:47:32Keiran's also back on the block,
0:47:32 > 0:47:35but Shelby's chat has fallen on deaf ears.
0:47:35 > 0:47:40A lot of what he said made sense, sure, but my mind's made up.
0:47:40 > 0:47:42I don't want to be here. I just want to go home now.
0:47:44 > 0:47:46I said that yesterday.
0:47:47 > 0:47:51Despite the fact she's planting, Shannon is struggling.
0:47:52 > 0:47:53For fuck's sake!
0:47:56 > 0:47:58Fucking trees!
0:47:58 > 0:48:01'What I'm thinking is, what a pile of wank it is,'
0:48:01 > 0:48:03how much I want to go home and how much I fucking hate it.
0:48:03 > 0:48:07'People who do it, fucking fair play to them, but I can't do it.
0:48:07 > 0:48:10'It's making me go fucking crazy, man.'
0:48:10 > 0:48:12Oh, fuck! Ow, ow!
0:48:12 > 0:48:14I'm like this in the shop some days.
0:48:14 > 0:48:16I'm like, "I can't do it," and, "I don't want to do it."
0:48:16 > 0:48:19So, why I thought I'd come and actually thought
0:48:19 > 0:48:21that I'd be able to do it, I don't know.
0:48:21 > 0:48:25I made... You make... You live and learn from your mistakes
0:48:25 > 0:48:27and, definitely, this was one of the mistakes
0:48:27 > 0:48:28which I'm going to learn from,
0:48:28 > 0:48:30is don't fucking nosedive into something
0:48:30 > 0:48:32which you know nothing about.
0:48:34 > 0:48:35You know?
0:48:45 > 0:48:48Keiran and Shannon are leaving after just two weeks,
0:48:48 > 0:48:51so they'll only be paid minimum wage.
0:48:54 > 0:48:58Danny's hanging out with fellow tree planter Fish.
0:48:58 > 0:49:00It's a shame about them two going.
0:49:00 > 0:49:02Like, they really haven't used the opportunity.
0:49:02 > 0:49:05The visa for a year, and they both want to go home.
0:49:05 > 0:49:06I just can't imagine that.
0:49:06 > 0:49:09To me, I just think it's for such a short period of time,
0:49:09 > 0:49:13I personally can't understand not being able to stick it out.
0:49:13 > 0:49:15But Shannon's experience in Canada
0:49:15 > 0:49:18has led her to an important realisation.
0:49:18 > 0:49:21I used to think my job was so bloody hard, cutting hair all day.
0:49:21 > 0:49:24Now I actually realise it's so fucking easy.
0:49:24 > 0:49:26- Really?- Yeah.
0:49:26 > 0:49:28- So, maybe I'll go back and cut some more hair.- Interesting.- Yeah.
0:49:28 > 0:49:30I thought I was really hard done by
0:49:30 > 0:49:33- cutting hair and waxing eyebrows and spray tanning.- Yeah.
0:49:33 > 0:49:36It's not like these are the only two jobs in the world.
0:49:36 > 0:49:37- You could do other stuff, too.- Yeah.
0:49:37 > 0:49:40Right? It's not just tree planting or cutting hair.
0:49:40 > 0:49:42Win the lottery. Hopefully I'll just win the lottery.
0:49:42 > 0:49:45- Win the lottery?- Yeah.
0:49:45 > 0:49:48- Well, nice meeting you.- Yeah. - You, too, man.- And you.- Pleasure.
0:49:48 > 0:49:51'I don't think there's anybody here I'll keep in touch with.
0:49:51 > 0:49:54'I didn't really kind of open up a close friendship with anybody.'
0:49:54 > 0:49:57I'm not too upset about it, you know.
0:49:57 > 0:49:58- All right, well...- Yeah.
0:49:58 > 0:50:01- Tree planting's not for everybody. - Thank you.- Yeah.
0:50:01 > 0:50:03- Have a good life.- Thank you so much. - Be safe. Have fun.
0:50:03 > 0:50:07- Hope you took a few good things from it.- Yeah, definitely.
0:50:07 > 0:50:10If you ever manage to get a visa again and want to try it again...
0:50:10 > 0:50:13- Yeah, definitely. - ..try a different company!
0:50:14 > 0:50:17No, I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
0:50:17 > 0:50:20Danny's coming along to see Keiran and Shannon off.
0:50:28 > 0:50:32It's frustrating that they wasted the opportunity.
0:50:32 > 0:50:34How often do you get to go to Canada
0:50:34 > 0:50:36and do something like this, you know.
0:50:36 > 0:50:38It frustrates me that they couldn't stick it out.
0:50:38 > 0:50:41But, really, for Keiran, it really wasn't for him.
0:50:48 > 0:50:49Despite leaving early,
0:50:49 > 0:50:52Keiran and Shannon feel they've learnt some lessons.
0:50:52 > 0:50:55Yeah, new beginnings when I get home.
0:50:55 > 0:50:56Definitely not going out as much.
0:50:56 > 0:51:01Going to put 110% into the salon and sort out my finances
0:51:01 > 0:51:03and get my life back on track, really.
0:51:03 > 0:51:05Tree planting didn't work for me,
0:51:05 > 0:51:07but it's definitely made me more motivated
0:51:07 > 0:51:10to kind of take the opportunities I'm going to get in the future.
0:51:10 > 0:51:13One door closes, another one opens, so...
0:51:13 > 0:51:16- ..Yeah.- Yes.- Look after yourself. - I will. I'll try to, anyway.
0:51:16 > 0:51:18'It's going to be weird.
0:51:18 > 0:51:20'It feels like I've known them for months.'
0:51:20 > 0:51:22- Yeah, you, too.- Enjoy it. - Take it easy.
0:51:22 > 0:51:24Yeah, yeah. I'll see you.
0:51:24 > 0:51:28But their lives go on and I've got work tomorrow, you know what I mean?
0:51:28 > 0:51:29I've got to get on with it.
0:51:34 > 0:51:36Better get back to work, ain't I?
0:51:40 > 0:51:45The next day, Danny's hard at work and his numbers are improving.
0:51:45 > 0:51:48Spacing looks good. There you go. That's fucking perfect.
0:51:50 > 0:51:53By the end of the day, he's reached a personal best.
0:51:53 > 0:51:58I did 901, so I'm officially earning money now.
0:51:58 > 0:52:02Anything under 800, they just pay you minimum wage.
0:52:02 > 0:52:04But today, I actually earned money, so...
0:52:06 > 0:52:07..a few beers are in order.
0:52:11 > 0:52:13At the campsite,
0:52:13 > 0:52:17Danny's been reflecting on his future as a tree planter.
0:52:17 > 0:52:19I pride myself on being the nonconformist,
0:52:19 > 0:52:23because if I ever found anything boring back in Leeds,
0:52:23 > 0:52:25I just haven't done it, that's it.
0:52:25 > 0:52:27You know what I mean?
0:52:27 > 0:52:29If it's shit and, you know, it's boring,
0:52:29 > 0:52:31why are you wasting your time doing it?
0:52:31 > 0:52:35But this isn't a waste of time. This is a fucking great experience.
0:52:35 > 0:52:38Look around - it's fucking beautiful.
0:52:38 > 0:52:41And everybody is fucking chilled out and they're all just fucking ace.
0:52:41 > 0:52:42This is a lifestyle, this is,
0:52:42 > 0:52:45and it takes special people to be able to do it.
0:52:45 > 0:52:47For whatever reason they come to do it,
0:52:47 > 0:52:51some of them come because they literally want to fuck trees, they love trees.
0:52:51 > 0:52:54And some of them come because they want to earn some money.
0:52:54 > 0:52:56But you can't just come for your love of trees
0:52:56 > 0:52:58and you can't just come for the money.
0:52:58 > 0:53:01So, it must be the fucking lifestyle, you know.
0:53:01 > 0:53:04The shit job is worth that.
0:53:11 > 0:53:15Back in the UK, Keiran's decided to make a major change to his life.
0:53:15 > 0:53:17After two years stuck in his bedroom,
0:53:17 > 0:53:20he's moved to Wigan to live with his best mate.
0:53:20 > 0:53:25- Beer-battered onion rings! What? - Never had beer-battered onion rings?
0:53:25 > 0:53:28I don't like onion rings. Surprise, surprise.
0:53:28 > 0:53:30- Welcome to Wigan.- Cheers, man.
0:53:30 > 0:53:33He may not have loved the job or earned the money,
0:53:33 > 0:53:36but for Keiran, his journey was life-changing.
0:53:36 > 0:53:39Going over to Canada to do a job that I've never heard of before,
0:53:39 > 0:53:42with people I've never met before, it gives you a sense of confidence
0:53:42 > 0:53:45because, you know, you've got to be somewhat kind of gutsy
0:53:45 > 0:53:46to go over there on your own.
0:53:46 > 0:53:49It gives you a sense of confidence in your ability,
0:53:49 > 0:53:52so moving to the other side of the country, to move out,
0:53:52 > 0:53:54was no issue for me because of, you know,
0:53:54 > 0:53:57what I've learnt for myself to go over in Canada.
0:53:57 > 0:53:58Thank you.
0:53:58 > 0:54:00Despite his premature return,
0:54:00 > 0:54:03Keiran's parents have noticed changes.
0:54:03 > 0:54:05I'm just relieved that he was home
0:54:05 > 0:54:08and I can make sure that he eats properly, for a start.
0:54:08 > 0:54:09Canada was good for him.
0:54:09 > 0:54:13I think it's made him think a little bit more about his future, what he actually wants.
0:54:13 > 0:54:16- He's definitely happier already, isn't he?- Oh, yeah.
0:54:16 > 0:54:19He's not stuck in his room on the Xbox, feeling sorry for himself.
0:54:19 > 0:54:23Probably still on the Xbox, but he's just not in our room - he's somewhere else.
0:54:23 > 0:54:25That's one thing I don't miss from Canada.
0:54:25 > 0:54:26I can pick what I want to eat now.
0:54:28 > 0:54:31Moving up here has made me feel like I've got out of an endless rut
0:54:31 > 0:54:34of just being in a tunnel with no light at the end.
0:54:34 > 0:54:36This is something fresh now so, you know,
0:54:36 > 0:54:39now it doesn't even feel like there's a tunnel at all.
0:54:39 > 0:54:42So, did you enjoy your time out in Canada?
0:54:42 > 0:54:43- Yeah, it was all right.- Yeah?
0:54:43 > 0:54:47For Shannon, the experience of tree planting has encouraged her
0:54:47 > 0:54:50to make a fresh start with her hairdressing business.
0:54:50 > 0:54:52If I was going to describe it to anyone,
0:54:52 > 0:54:54it would be like crying blood!
0:54:55 > 0:54:58'Canada made me appreciate the salon a bit more,
0:54:58 > 0:55:00'because I actually realise, you know,'
0:55:00 > 0:55:03a lot of people my age would give their right arm
0:55:03 > 0:55:05just to be in the position that I am.
0:55:05 > 0:55:08'So, I think I need to just take responsibility
0:55:08 > 0:55:11'and get on with it and make a go of what I've got before it's too late.'
0:55:11 > 0:55:13Maybe I should have stuck it.
0:55:13 > 0:55:16Everyone wanted me to stay, cos they all fucking loved me.
