In the remote hills of Udhampur, India the pair will face extreme dry heat and cold, windy conditions at night. Since they aren't protected by much at their 9,000 foot starting point they will be vulnerable to extreme storms with not much to protect them. They will also be competing with the native monkeys for food and water all while fending off black scorpions, of which kill hundreds of people in India each year. Oh, and those monkeys carry rabies and encephalitis. And they get really pissed if you mess with them. So.... good luck, Trenton and Jennifer.

 

Trenton is a 35 year old paramedic from Montana. He grew up in rural West Virginia and his lifelong survival experiences have given him a PSR of 7.9. He brings a long with him a nepalese machete a friend made for him (he doesn't like to share). Jennifer is a 30 year old self-described team player from Pennsylvania. She's new to survivalist culture so her PSR score is a bit lower at 6.4. She is smart enough to bring along a pot, though. Although she REALLY wants that knife.

 

A little too protective of his knife, Trenton has taken most of the shelter building, hunting, fire starting, and wood collecting on himself. Thus leaving Jennifer sitting there bewildered to his anger about her not helping. There's not much for her to do with a wooden digger he made her (with his knife), though. Plus she has been feeling nauseated and vomits consistently for the first few days. He says she has acute mounting sickness. But we watched her drink not so clear water that he deemed potable. As far as protein goes, all we've seen them indulge in is a black scorpion. While the sting could cause paralysis and death, the meat would give them 240 total calories. Cutting off the stinger removes most of the poison while cooking it makes the remaining poison harmless. Crunchy.

 

Trenton decides to go hunting but Jennifer asks to keep his knife. Um... doesn't he need that for hunting? Apparently no because he's made a bird trap that actually works. Not only does it provide more protein for the emaciated couple, but he also proves just how Ozzy Osbourne he is by ripping the head off and sucking the blood. SHARON!

 

Before their extraction a massive storm rolls in and lightening strikes the adjacent ridge. Since the area is so dry, a wildfire erupts. While most participants have trouble with fire, this pair seems to have too much of it. Their 6 mile hike turns into an 11 mile trek because they have to stay a safe distance from the fires.

 

Trenton lost a total of 18 pounds and raised his PSR score to 8.2. Jennifer lost 15 pounds and raised her PSR to 6.9
