Dave Bautista Makes a Log Ladder | Running Wild With Bear Grylls

·Nov 11, 2024

[music playing] So the terrain here is definitely getting steeper and more committing. But you know, so much of survival is about just trying to be resourceful. I just wonder if maybe we maybe use that old trunk. Use that, get that down, and then we can down climb that. Let's have a look at it, anyway. Yeah. [laughs]

Is there some way we can use our ax to make the ladder out of that? Yeah, brilliant idea. Brilliant. [laughs]

BEAR GRYLLS: Totally. Maybe if we, like, cut little steps into it-- it doesn't have to be big, you know, just enough to use as hands and feet. Drag it, drop it down. Maybe tie this rope to the end of it so it stays in place. Sure. We passed this old log on the way down. Have you got that ax on you?

DAVE BAUTISTA: Yeah.

BEAR GRYLLS: Let's bring the ax up here. And of course, because the air is so dry out here, nothing really rots. Rock hard, though, this wood. But whatever it was used for one time, we're going to use it for our purpose, which is getting down this crack.

So if you could give us the ax, what we're trying to do is trying to get-- We can cut some little steps into it, and drop it down this crack, and use those, and down climb. [chopping] [music playing]

Let's get you doing a bit of that. I'm going to get this rope ready, and then we're into it.

DAVE BAUTISTA: Bear's plan is to somehow climb down this log ladder that we've built from our two hands and an ax. [laughs]

BEAR GRYLLS: OK. So that's a bunch of steps cut. And now, what we've got to do is position it. So if you take the heavy end--

DAVE BAUTISTA: All right. I'll this end. You read?

BEAR GRYLLS: Heading that way? We're going down to the right.

DAVE BAUTISTA: Yep.

BEAR GRYLLS: Oh, my god. [laughs] Bautista, you crack me up. Here we go, right? It's literally like he's moving a matchstick. This is so heavy.

Well, the great thing about having Dave Bautista on this journey is that when you're moving heavy tree trunks around, it suddenly all becomes a little bit easier. OK, watch your step down there. We'll let gravity do the work now, if you put it down. And then we'll come up this end.

DAVE BAUTISTA: I feel OK climbing down this log right now. But as Mike Tyson said, everybody always has a plan until they get punched in the face. So I'll see-- [laughs] --how it starts looking when we're actually doing this. But as of right now, I'm extremely confident. [laughs]

So when I go down, am I going down, like, keeping my weight on the rope? Or should I try to balance myself?

BEAR GRYLLS: A bit of both.

DAVE BAUTISTA: A bit of both.

BEAR GRYLLS: A bit of both, yeah. As you get steeper, it's going to be more natural to use your hands and stuff and your feet as well. So--

DAVE BAUTISTA: OK. OK. [suspenseful music]

OK, tell me when you're at the top.

BEAR GRYLLS: Not yet. Almost.

DAVE BAUTISTA: OK, I got my foot on it.

BEAR GRYLLS: OK, now try and use the log because I'm going to-- I'm struggling to hold you on that one side.

DAVE BAUTISTA: OK. [grunts]

BEAR GRYLLS: Keep talking to me. Are you on there? I can't see you now.

DAVE BAUTISTA: Yeah, I'm on the log. And these notches are much farther apart than I thought. [laughs]

BEAR GRYLLS: OK, I'm down. I made it.

DAVE BAUTISTA: OK, good job.

BEAR GRYLLS: OK, I'm going to follow you down this line.

DAVE BAUTISTA: That were a pretty good one there.

DAVE BAUTISTA: Yeah. [laughs]

DAVE BAUTISTA: [laughs] Good job. Well done. When I got a little high, it was a little scary. And there was a couple times where I just wanted to wrap myself around the log and hopefully slide down.
