CHANNING TATUM: God, all these stones, man. Look at them. They're just massive boulders.

BEAR GRYLLS: Nope, it's a dead end. So all of this area is endless, like, dead ends. You reach a cliff face or you reach a boulder you can't get over, you try and go round it. Wow, this is looking pretty cool. [suspenseful music] I actually think there's a hint of light through this one. We've now reached what looks like a kind of narrow, dark hole of a cave. But I've seen a glimmer of light through it. And I'm thinking, actually, we don't need that much to get through. Even if it's that wide, we reach the end of it, we'll get through it. Let's make a little torch.

CHANNING TATUM: Yeah. We'll do it from that birch bark. And then go in there, use that for light, and see if we can climb up through. And that'll then access to the top part of this boulder face.

CHANNING TATUM: All right. So what we need-- that birch stuff's good. Let me go and cut a stick. Into the belly of the beast. I was like, oh, we won't go in there. Um, we're going in there. And there's, like, a little speck of-- [laughs] --of light. Have you ever seen "Descent"? [woman screaming] I really hope that's not happening today. Copy that, if you never see me again, you know where I'm at-- (WHISPERING) Norway with Bear Grylls. Help.

BEAR GRYLLS: And then we need the chaga. OK. There we go. That's better. Where's that little flint you had? Well, some of it's here. So this is old school. That's flint. And then this is, like, what they call a knap. And they used to just carry this around. You just go-- you can see it. But it's hard. You got to-- So technically, I was wrong. The Norwegian chip thing was not a mustache protector. I'm OK with admitting that.

BEAR GRYLLS: So hold the metal bit down, yeah. And then just flick the flint along it. [clinking] There you go. We've got it. We've got it. We've got it. We've got it. There.

CHANNING TATUM: Sick. And there you go. Wow.

CHANNING TATUM: I've never started a fire as easy as this. I mean, it's a one tiny, little spark, barely an ember. And it just, like, ignited and burning slowly into this stuff called chaga. OK. Hold that. OK. You ready?

CHANNING TATUM: Yes, sir.

BEAR GRYLLS: Let's do it.
