00:00Yeah, the way we... Yeah, yeah.

00:02And so, in the end, you decided you were going to follow that.

00:06That was the idea that you'd come up with?

00:07Yeah, we kind of went for a blend of...

00:09Yeah, about maybe two hours after we reached the top,

00:12the rain started chucking it down and...

00:16..it revealed a river along the rocks,

00:18so we decided to, you know, follow it downstream.

00:20And that's a tip that you got from Bear Grylls, right? Yeah.

00:23Where would you learn... Where would you have heard that?

00:26Did you remember? Just growing up, watching Bear Grylls with our dads,

00:29and he was a scout leader, so we'd done, like, camps and stuff before.

00:32It was one of the things where just always follow a river downstream

00:36if you're lost, cos that's where, like,

00:38civilisation will be, people will be there.

00:40And as we did go down, the further down,

00:42we did end up hearing chainsaws in the distance.

00:45They couldn't hear our, like, shouts for help,

00:49but just hearing humans, it gave us hope. Yeah.

00:53We actually have a message from Bear Grylls for you guys now.

00:57Take a look at this.

00:59I'm so happy, so proud that you made it out in one piece.

01:02Good for you. What an experience you've been through.

01:06But key lessons for people to learn,

01:08that if you ever find yourself just going out for a hike and get lost,

01:12it's always to remember, first of all,

01:14tell somebody where you're going and when you're due back.

01:17And secondly, always take a hard copy of a map,

01:21even if it's just take a screenshot and then print it out quickly,

01:24just so you've got something that's not electronic.

01:26But above all, I think the reason you guys made it out

01:30is you have each other, and that is so valuable.

01:33I've learnt in terms of survival,

01:35one plus one in survival is different to normal maths.

01:37It doesn't equal two, it equals about five or six.

01:40I'm so proud of you guys. Well done.
