Day 1: Meeting and Setting Up Camp Hase and Grizz embark on a survival challenge where they can earn $10,000 each day they survive in the wilderness. They quickly set up a camp, gather wood, and check their supplies: food for five days, water containers, clothing, and fire-starting tools. Despite a cold night, they manage to stay warm with makeshift bedding.

Day 2: First Payment and Adjusting to Wilderness Life On the second day, Jimmy, the host, delivers their first $10,000 by air. The challenge excites them as they plan to stay for a year to become millionaires. They continue improving their shelter and gather more wood.

Days 3-10: Building Shelter and Facing Challenges The duo focuses on building a better shelter using found materials and a parachute from the money drop. They start to feel the strain of survival, especially with food running low. By day 10, they receive a care package from Jimmy, including essential supplies and food, in exchange for $50,000 from their earnings.

Days 11-20: Struggling with Hunger and Cold As food supplies dwindle, they experience the harsh reality of hunger. They rely on foraging and rationing their remaining food. Despite the cold nights and lack of proper sleeping gear, they push through, determined to earn more money.

Days 21-30: Finding Water and Catching Food Grizz and Hase find a stream with drinkable water, improving their chances of survival. They attempt to catch fish but struggle initially. Eventually, they catch an eel, marking their first fresh meal in 27 days.

Days 31-40: Mental and Physical Strain The prolonged stay in the wilderness starts to take a toll on their mental and physical health. They miss their families and the comfort of home. Hase contemplates leaving but is encouraged by Grizz to stay. On day 40, they get a visit from their families, which boosts their morale but also highlights the difficulty of their situation.

Days 41-50: Teamwork and Challenges Their friendship strengthens as they support each other through the tough times. They build a boat to reach a better fishing spot, hoping to catch more food. Despite setbacks, their bond grows as they work together.

Days 51-60: Rejecting Temptations Jimmy offers them a boat for $50,000, which they refuse, trusting their homemade raft. They continue to rely on each other and push through the challenges, even when hunger and cold persist.

Days 61-70: Breaking Point As the days go by, the lack of food and sleep takes its toll. Hase reaches his breaking point, contemplating using the flare gun to end the challenge. Grizz convinces him to stay a bit longer, but the strain on their friendship becomes evident.

Day 74: The Decision to Leave After 74 days, Hase and Grizz decide to end the challenge. They have earned $670,000 but realize the importance of family and well-being over money. They leave the wilderness with newfound respect for each other and the experience.

This intense survival challenge tested their limits, but Hase and Grizz emerged stronger, proving the power of friendship and determination in the face of adversity.
