Finding your way across this vast landscape is difficult with so few landmarks 1 to help. The native Australians have their own unique method of navigation. One of the reasons that Aborigines are, in many ways, the ultimate survivors 2 in the outback is that they use these songs that are passed down from generation to generation as a way of navigating 3 through this wilderness 4.

And I was taught in the military you can actually use spiders’ webs to help with wounds. And what you do, you collect it all up, bunch it up, put it in the wound, and it will help coagulate the blood. It acts like a field dressing 6. But the spider here, it does have some poison in it, but not enough really to harm you. It might just give a little nip. And so much of survival is about opportunistic hunting. And this is edible 7. Here we go. And grab him here, squeeze his head and then put him in. Uh, it just tastes like kind of guts 8 and pus and brain. Spiders and other insects are always a good source of protein. But it’s not really enough. And on top of that, the rainwater from the storm has dried up. In this heat, you have to find something…
