-I live an ordinary life, really.

0:00:020:00:04

-I work nine to five all week,

-but I spend my weekends living wild.

0:00:050:00:09

-It's the only place

-that doesn't lie to you.

0:00:100:00:13

-Last year, I proved

-that I can survive in the wild.

0:00:140:00:18

-To the trees, like Robin Hood!

0:00:190:00:21

-I spent five days

-out around my native Porthmadog.

0:00:210:00:24

-It was tough.

0:00:240:00:25

-This is all the food I have now.

0:00:260:00:27

-This time, I'll push myself harder.

0:00:290:00:32

-Anyone home?!

0:00:330:00:34

-I want to survive for five days

-during three different seasons...

0:00:360:00:42

-..I don't know how I carried on...

0:00:420:00:44

-..and not just on my home turf,

-but in other wild parts of Wales.

0:00:450:00:49

-Don't fall.

0:00:500:00:51

-Places I don't know half as well.

0:00:510:00:54

-The summer weather in Pembrokeshire

-was terrible.

0:00:570:01:01

-The only dry thing

-this morning was Gwen.

0:01:020:01:05

-Now, I'll do five autumn days

-in the Brecon Beacons...

0:01:060:01:10

-A fluffy squirrel!

0:01:110:01:13

-..and five winter days,

-hopefully, in Snowdonia.

0:01:130:01:17

-I'm tired now. Knackered.

0:01:180:01:21

-I'm Carwyn Jones, the wild man.

0:01:230:01:25

-Autumn in the Brecon Beacons

0:01:320:01:34

-Day 1

0:01:340:01:37

-Here we are.

0:01:380:01:39

-That's a noise I like to hear.

0:02:010:02:03

-It tells me there's food here.

0:02:040:02:06

-Old trusty!

0:02:160:02:18

-A poncho shelter.

0:02:190:02:20

-As it's a Sunday tomorrow,

-I can't shoot anything legally.

0:02:380:02:43

-I'll chance it now.

0:02:430:02:44

-Look. She knows

-there are birds here.

0:02:450:02:48

-Safety check.

0:02:500:02:51

-Go find 'em, Gwen.

0:02:540:02:56

-Heel.

0:03:040:03:05

-GUNSHOT

0:03:110:03:12

-Here! Here!

0:03:130:03:14

-A cock pheasant for supper.

0:03:240:03:26

-One shot, one kill.

0:03:270:03:28

-There we are.

0:03:290:03:30

-There's an old saying.

0:03:390:03:40

-Beware the man with one gun.

0:03:410:03:43

-He knows how to shoot.

0:03:430:03:45

-You could have a full cabinet

-of smart guns, worth thousands...

0:03:450:03:49

-..and not be able to shoot anything.

0:03:490:03:52

-It's all down to who holds it.

0:03:520:03:54

-To be honest, I'm a bit worried

-that I won't have time to cook it.

0:03:570:04:02

-Rain is forecast...

0:04:020:04:04

-..between now

-and eight o'clock tonight.

0:04:060:04:08

-I'm going to light a fire.

0:04:240:04:25

-You've seen these.

0:04:280:04:29

-King Alfred cakes.

0:04:290:04:31

-A fungus...

0:04:310:04:32

-..that grows on ash trees, usually.

0:04:340:04:37

-Whoa!

0:04:500:04:51

-That's how you light a fire

-in the rain.

0:04:540:04:56

-Come here, Gwen. Don't get wet.

0:04:570:04:59

-I know that I can survive the night

-with nothing to eat.

0:05:040:05:08

-My main objectives at the moment

-are to dry out and warm up.

0:05:090:05:15

-I've got a week ahead of me...

0:05:170:05:19

-..and I don't want

-to catch pneumonia.

0:05:200:05:22

-It won't be a nice night,

-but I have my best buddy here.

0:05:230:05:27

-Gwengelina!

0:05:270:05:28

-You look as pissed off as I do!

0:05:310:05:33

-Day 2

0:05:360:05:40

-Hallelujah!

0:06:020:06:03

-What now?

0:06:080:06:09

-I didn't sleep great.

0:06:250:06:27

-If you touch the sides,

-you'll get wet.

0:06:280:06:33

-So...

0:06:340:06:35

-..you try to sleep curled up.

0:06:350:06:38

-Then, of course...

0:06:390:06:41

-..in the night, you forget

-you're in a pork-pie sized tent.

0:06:420:06:47

-You stretch your legs

-and your sleeping bag gets wet.

0:06:470:06:51

-I have to dry that,

-as well as a blanket.

0:06:520:06:55

-These trousers were soaked.

0:06:560:06:58

-Gwen was completely dry.

0:06:590:07:01

-Don't get burnt -

-the flames are coming your way.

0:07:050:07:08

-What happened to your cap?

0:07:170:07:19

-I burnt it last night,

-trying to dry it.

0:07:190:07:23

-It's more singed than burned,

-by the fire.

0:07:240:07:26

-I got soaked yesterday.

0:07:260:07:28

-I wanted to dry my hat before bed.

0:07:280:07:30

-I woke up and it looked...

0:07:310:07:32

-..as if it was covered

-with orange street graffiti!

0:07:320:07:36

-Punk wood takes a spark well

-if you char it.

0:07:400:07:44

-It's just very light wood...

0:07:440:07:47

-..and it breaks easily

-in your hands.

0:07:470:07:50

-I'll make some,

-as I've got a fire going.

0:07:500:07:53

-It's just a tobacco tin...

0:08:020:08:03

-..with a hole in the lid

-made with a nail.

0:08:040:08:07

-You can see smoke

-coming out of the hole.

0:08:070:08:11

-There isn't enough oxygen

-in the tin...

0:08:110:08:14

-..for the wood

-to properly catch fire.

0:08:150:08:17

-When the smoke stops emerging,

-that's the time to take the tin off.

0:08:180:08:23

-I hope that I'll then

-have some charred punk wood.

0:08:230:08:27

-It's nice to be

-on the ball sometimes!

0:08:280:08:30

-The sun's out!

0:08:370:08:38

-My towel.

0:08:450:08:46

-Gwen's towel.

0:08:480:08:49

-His and hers!

0:08:500:08:51

-The smoke's stopped coming out.

0:09:090:09:11

-I want to cook that pheasant now.

0:09:120:09:14

-It's getting warmer.

0:09:140:09:15

-There's the breast.

0:09:400:09:41

-Follow the bone

-as closely as you can.

0:09:430:09:45

-There we are.

0:09:550:09:56

-How many times have you heard people

-say that pheasant is a dark meat?

0:10:000:10:04

-No, it isn't.

0:10:050:10:07

-It just proves

-that they've never tried it.

0:10:070:10:10

-Don't lie.

0:10:100:10:11

-Pretty birds.

0:10:140:10:15

-A symbol

-of the British upper classes.

0:10:150:10:19

-The pheasant.

0:10:200:10:21

-But it's not native to this country.

0:10:210:10:24

-It's from Asia.

0:10:240:10:25

-Look at the colours,

-and it makes sense.

0:10:250:10:28

-It is a bit exotic

-for a supposedly British bird.

0:10:290:10:32

-A primitive fridge.

0:10:410:10:43

-I'll mark it

-in case I forget where it is.

0:10:490:10:52

-Chestnuts.

0:11:260:11:27

-A symbol that autumn

-and winter are coming.

0:11:290:11:33

-As far as I'm concerned,

-they're full of fat and protein.

0:11:340:11:38

-They're great.

0:11:380:11:39

-Ta-dah! Nice and cold.

0:11:580:12:00

-I'll shut the fridge door.

0:12:000:12:02

-Oil.

0:12:050:12:06

-Right, the nuts now.

0:12:110:12:12

-You're meant

-to prick them individually.

0:12:180:12:21

-Clearly, I'm not a man

-with a lot of time on his hands.

0:12:210:12:24

-They're all going in.

0:12:250:12:26

-It's like Christmas.

0:12:270:12:29

-Roasting chestnuts.

0:12:290:12:32

-OK.

0:12:330:12:34

-Here we go.

0:12:420:12:43

-It's like Beirut here!

0:12:430:12:44

-I'll check Mr Pheasant

-to see if he needs more time.

0:12:550:13:00

-No, perfect.

0:13:010:13:02

-I'm enjoying the chestnuts more.

0:13:070:13:09

-They're almost like potatoes.

0:13:110:13:13

-Small potatoes.

0:13:140:13:15

-Incredible.

0:13:150:13:16

-VARIOUS BIRD NOISES

0:13:220:13:23

-It's like Jurassic Park!

0:13:330:13:34

-All these noises.

0:13:350:13:36

-I hope these pheasants

-won't be noisy all night.

-Day 3

0:14:020:14:04

-Oh! That was a shit night.

0:14:370:14:39

-My back is soaked.

0:14:390:14:41

-I don't know

-what's wrong with this shelter.

0:14:470:14:50

-It's like sleeping in a teabag.

0:14:510:14:54

-I thought it might be a tough night.

0:14:550:14:58

-There was thunder too, wasn't there?

0:14:580:15:01

-There was panic

-with every thunderclap.

0:15:060:15:10

-Pheasants going nuts.

0:15:120:15:13

-That made Gwen panic.

0:15:140:15:16

-Right, I've seen a squirrel.

0:15:350:15:37

-Yesterday and today.

-They must feed off the nuts.

0:15:390:15:42

-GUNSHOT

0:16:110:16:12

-Oh!

0:16:130:16:14

-Bastard! Gone.

0:16:330:16:35

-It was right in front of me,

-about ten yards away.

0:16:380:16:41

-I'd have blasted it to pieces.

0:16:410:16:43

-It was pointless shooting.

0:16:440:16:45

-I took another shot,

-but it was too quick.

0:16:460:16:48

-It went from one tree

-to another, and so on.

0:16:510:16:55

-Is the camera wet?

0:16:570:16:58

-Here!

0:17:220:17:23

-Here!

0:17:230:17:24

-Sit.

0:17:300:17:31

-Sparkly clean!

0:18:120:18:13

-That squirrel's back.

0:18:200:18:22

-No messing now.

0:18:220:18:24

-Try to be quiet, please.

0:18:240:18:26

-Even the gun's jamming

-in this wet weather.

0:18:280:18:31

-GUNSHOT

0:18:430:18:44

-No.

0:18:440:18:45

-Back.

0:18:460:18:47

-No.

0:18:470:18:48

-Back.

0:18:490:18:50

-Back, back, back, back. Find it.

0:18:500:18:54

-Good girl!

0:18:550:18:56

-Here.

0:18:560:18:57

-Good girl.

0:18:570:18:58

-In case anyone thinks this is

-such a cute fluffy squirrel...

0:18:590:19:03

-..they are on the pest list.

0:19:040:19:06

-They're difficult to skin.

0:19:470:19:49

-Bum and belly, as they say.

0:19:530:19:54

-They're very popular in London.

0:19:570:19:59

-London butchers

-can't get enough of them.

0:20:010:20:04

-There it is.

0:20:460:20:47

-The squirrel.

0:20:480:20:49

-I'll keep this.

0:21:000:21:01

-There's more meat on it

-than you'd think.

0:21:020:21:04

-Still cold. Lovely.

0:21:150:21:17

-Ultimately, this is my choice.

0:21:430:21:46

-I walk past people

-on my way to work in Bangor.

0:21:460:21:51

-They have no choice

-but to live rough.

0:21:510:21:54

-For years, some of them.

0:21:540:21:56

-We'll wait for a while.

0:22:030:22:05

-It's pouring down.

0:22:050:22:06

-If you'd asked primitive people

-what they thought survival was...

0:22:100:22:14

-..they wouldn't understand

-the meaning of the word.

0:22:150:22:18

-There are tribes in Papua New Guinea

-who have no word for stress...

0:22:210:22:25

-..because, in their life,

-it doesn't exist.

0:22:260:22:29

-Rose hips.

0:22:450:22:48

-Full of vitamin C.

0:22:480:22:50

-Right, we'll head back to camp

-before the weather worsens.

0:22:500:22:54

-What's for supper tonight?

0:23:030:23:05

-Pheasant and rose hips.

0:23:060:23:09

-It's getting dark

-and the weather's turned.

0:23:160:23:19

-There's rain on the way.

0:23:190:23:20

-The seeds irritate the skin.

0:23:250:23:27

-That's the source of itching powder.

0:23:280:23:31

-They'd give you an itchy throat.

0:23:340:23:37

-They're not quite ready to eat.

0:23:560:23:58

-They were a bit tough.

0:23:580:24:00

-If I fry them lightly,

-they should soften a little.

0:24:010:24:05

-They advised people to eat these

-during the Second World War...

0:24:120:24:17

-..because...

0:24:170:24:18

-..vitamin C was scarce.

0:24:210:24:23

-These were everywhere.

0:24:240:24:25

-But they never caught on, somehow.

0:24:260:24:29

-But in other countries,

-such as Sweden...

0:24:290:24:33

-..they are very popular.

0:24:330:24:36

-You don't often get red things

-in the wild that are safe to eat.

0:24:470:24:51

-I fancy making a move tomorrow.

0:25:020:25:04

-Explore the area a bit more.

0:25:070:25:09

-Somewhere with more trees...

0:25:090:25:13

-..before heading for the bowl...

0:25:130:25:17

-..the highest point locally.

0:25:170:25:20

-I'd like to go up it

-to see the area properly.

0:25:200:25:24

-We could have a look tomorrow.

-Day 4

0:25:400:25:42

-OK?

0:25:530:25:54

-OK?

-

-Fine.

0:25:540:25:55

-Are you dry?

0:25:570:25:58

-Not bad, not bad. It's colder today.

0:25:580:26:00

-It's the same routine every night.

0:26:020:26:04

-Waking up at three in the morning...

0:26:040:26:07

-..without fail.

0:26:090:26:10

-I'm awake for an hour,

-then I go back to sleep.

0:26:110:26:14

-I had to do some improvised repairs

-in the middle of the night.

0:26:140:26:19

-I hope I don't get a cut.

0:26:240:26:26

-That's all the plasters I had!

0:26:260:26:28

-Where are we heading?

0:26:350:26:37

-I feel we've put too much pressure

-on the environment here, really.

0:26:380:26:43

-I'll let it recover.

0:26:450:26:46

-We need to clear up...

0:26:480:26:50

-..and head for the pine forest

-higher up.

0:26:520:26:55

-Good grief! A squirrel!

0:27:010:27:03

-Right. Time to move.

0:27:120:27:14

-It's nice to see mountains.

0:27:340:27:35

-It was a bit claustrophobic

-in the trees, albeit pleasant.

0:27:350:27:39

-That's the common ink cap.

0:27:490:27:53

-It's named

-because of the dark gills...

0:27:530:27:58

-They stain, and people

-made ink from them at one time.

0:27:590:28:02

-They are edible...

0:28:030:28:05

-..but if you mix them with beer

-or any alcohol, you'll see stars.

0:28:050:28:10

-That's a bit of a fluke.

0:28:180:28:20

-Within twenty yards

-of the common ink cap...

0:28:200:28:24

-..we've come across

-a shaggy ink cap...

0:28:240:28:27

-..also known as shaggy mane

-or lawyer's wig.

0:28:280:28:31

-These are great to eat.

0:28:320:28:34

-They have a slightly salty flavour.

0:28:350:28:37

-They're the first

-I've seen this year.

0:28:370:28:40

-They're very delicate.

0:28:410:28:43

-I don't want to smash them.

0:28:450:28:47

-When we were kids, we had fun

-smashing them with cricket bats...

0:28:530:28:57

-..or throwing them at each other.

0:28:570:28:59

-Imagine if you had a white shirt...

0:28:590:29:02

-It looks more level here.

0:29:150:29:17

-More cover, less wind.

0:29:170:29:20

-It's a lot colder now.

0:29:220:29:24

-I think this is the best spot.

0:29:460:29:48

-I think I'll build

-a very basic lean-to shelter...

0:29:520:29:57

-..out of any pieces of wood

-that I come across...

0:29:570:30:00

-..just to shelter me from the wind.

0:30:000:30:02

-It's like building a den.

-Everyone's done that.

0:30:330:30:37

-It takes me back to my childhood.

0:30:380:30:40

-But I had to be home

-by teatime then.

0:30:420:30:44

-I could die this time!

0:30:470:30:48

-Lovely.

0:31:470:31:48

-Wake me in five minutes, please.

0:31:530:31:55

-It's brighter now.

0:32:080:32:09

-Here we are.

0:32:350:32:36

-The punk wood

-that I burned the other day.

0:32:370:32:40

-Ta-dah!

0:32:500:32:51

-It's time to gather firewood again.

0:33:150:33:19

-I'm looking for quite big logs.

0:33:240:33:27

-I want the fire to last all night.

0:33:270:33:31

-That's one way to get it down.

0:33:400:33:43

-I'm going to make

-a squirrel and mushroom stew.

0:34:060:34:12

-This needs to stew

-for another half-hour or so.

0:34:410:34:44

-This tranquillity

-is a noble concept...

0:35:180:35:21

-..but it's not really possible.

0:35:230:35:25

-This is how primitive people lived.

0:35:280:35:31

-Living was their work.

0:35:320:35:33

-Getting up,

-finding something to eat...

0:35:330:35:36

-..working on their shelters,

-helping their community.

0:35:390:35:43

-They didn't get up

-and go to work in a bank.

0:35:440:35:47

-It wasn't necessary back then.

0:35:480:35:50

-The mushrooms are nice and salty.

0:36:230:36:25

-I don't think

-I've had any salt all week.

0:36:260:36:30

-It tastes of the countryside.

0:36:340:36:36

-Wood and earth.

0:36:370:36:39

-Have you tried squirrel before?

0:36:450:36:47

-No, never.

0:36:480:36:49

-You?

0:36:490:36:50

-You?

-

-No.

0:36:500:36:51

-The mushrooms you get at Tesco.

0:36:550:36:57

-I don't think they taste

-of anything at all.

0:36:580:37:00

-Look at the superb colour

-these have given the stew.

0:37:020:37:06

-It's like that risotto

-they make in Patagonia...

0:37:110:37:16

-..with squid ink.

0:37:160:37:18

-They say that's the only

-black meal in the world.

0:37:200:37:23

-Bollocks!

0:37:240:37:25

-To try to get this heat

-to last all night...

0:37:530:37:57

-..I'm going to build a long fire.

0:37:580:38:00

-A fire the same length as your body.

0:38:020:38:05

-Across here...

0:38:070:38:09

-It's meant to burn slowly.

0:38:100:38:12

-That's the aim.

0:38:120:38:14

-I'll put a damp log here.

0:38:170:38:20

-Then a dry piece of wood.

0:38:250:38:27

-I'm just removing the bark.

0:38:310:38:33

-You know that I worry

-on the last night every time.

0:38:490:38:53

-I don't know why.

0:38:540:38:55

-Different reasons every time.

0:38:550:38:57

-It might be a fear of failing

-at the last minute.

-The Final Day

0:39:180:39:21

-The final day.

0:39:410:39:42

-And a lovely day it is.

0:39:440:39:46

-The birds sound happy.

0:39:470:39:48

-Another night here

-would have been nice...

0:39:530:39:56

-..now that I know what to expect.

0:39:560:39:58

-The fire helped me get to sleep.

0:40:010:40:03

-I was fine afterwards.

0:40:060:40:07

-Gwen seems happy.

0:40:120:40:13

-The final fire, thank God.

0:40:270:40:29

-My lungs are shot.

0:40:310:40:32

-A self-sufficient shelter.

0:40:400:40:42

-It provides shelter...

0:40:440:40:46

-..firewood...

0:40:480:40:49

-..and vitamin C to make a cuppa.

0:40:520:40:54

-Pine fresh.

0:41:040:41:05

-It's nice.

0:41:110:41:12

-It also has

-a hint of fennel, liquorice.

0:41:120:41:16

-It's extremely good for you.

0:41:220:41:24

-When I do go out

-to places like this...

0:41:320:41:35

-..I like to take

-a souvenir home with me.

0:41:350:41:38

-Just something to remember it by.

0:41:380:41:40

-I've been studying scrimshaw.

0:41:410:41:43

-The art of carving in bones.

0:41:430:41:47

-An old way

-of creating art on ships.

0:41:480:41:51

-On whaling ships.

0:41:510:41:52

-What they used to do...

0:41:530:41:54

-..was use a pin set in a cork,

-usually a rum bottle cork...

0:41:560:41:59

-..and carve onto whale teeth

-or whale bones.

0:42:000:42:05

-Then they'd rub ink into the holes.

0:42:060:42:08

-Ivory is illegal nowadays,

-of course.

0:42:090:42:13

-I'm using an old bone I gave Gwen,

-and I've given it a good polish.

0:42:140:42:19

-I usually carve ships.

0:42:210:42:23

-Porthmadog ships, specifically.

0:42:230:42:25

-The thing with this is...

0:42:310:42:33

-..if you make a balls-up,

-there is no second chance.

0:42:330:42:37

-I do it as a form of release.

0:42:420:42:45

-I feel as if I need to do it.

0:42:450:42:47

-I feel a lot more...

0:42:480:42:49

-..a lot of satisfaction

-when I've done it.

0:42:510:42:54

-I don't know why.

0:42:540:42:55

-It's on record, isn't it?

0:42:590:43:01

-This is the scary bit.

0:43:030:43:04

-The outline is done.

0:43:160:43:17

-I'll take it home...

0:43:190:43:21

-..add the fine detail,

-and sell it for thousands on eBay!

0:43:230:43:27

-I want to try to give back

-all that I've taken from the forest.

0:43:410:43:45

-Obviously, I can't replace

-branches on a tree.

0:43:460:43:49

-What I mean is...

0:43:490:43:50

-..spreading stuff around to create

-habitats for wildlife living here.

0:43:510:43:55

-It's time to leave the forest.

0:44:060:44:08

-I've been too sheltered.

0:44:100:44:11

-Gwen, here!

0:44:170:44:18

-I'm going up there now.

0:44:290:44:32

-Pen Cerrig-Calch.

0:44:330:44:34

-It's quite a slog,

-but it'll be a fine view...

0:44:350:44:38

-..of the whole area.

0:44:390:44:41

-The area's unfamiliar to me,

-but I feel at home here.

0:45:020:45:05

-I've been welcomed here,

-except by the weather.

0:45:070:45:10

-The only drawback

-is that I'm far from the sea.

0:45:110:45:14

-But I've settled here well.

0:45:140:45:16

-I'm taking my coat off.

0:45:160:45:18

-I'm getting fed up now.

0:45:200:45:21

-It doesn't help

-when you can't see the top.

0:45:250:45:28

-This is steep.

0:45:390:45:40

-A short break?

0:45:550:45:57

-Onwards?

0:46:060:46:07

-Onwards?

-

-Aren't we having a break?!

0:46:070:46:08

-On we go then.

0:46:090:46:10

-I'd have liked another night

-in the shelter...

0:46:120:46:15

-..but I have to go back

-to work tomorrow.

0:46:150:46:18

-I started somewhere down there.

0:46:460:46:49

-Now, I'm here.

0:46:500:46:51

-And now I can go home.

0:46:520:46:54

-Home, James.

0:46:570:46:58

-Next time, winter in Snowdonia

0:47:010:47:06

-I don't see me doing more of these.

0:47:060:47:09

-I didn't think things through

-before agreeing to come here.
