Finding your way across this vast landscape is difficult with so few landmarks 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 in the outback is that they use these songs that are passed down from generation to generation as a way of navigating through this wilderness. And what these songs do is they act like a singing map, you know, directing them between hunting grounds, waterholes and good places to shelter. But I don’t have the benefit of that sort of history.
要穿越这片土地非常困难，四周景色如出一辙。当地的澳洲土著有自己独特的定位方式。澳洲土著之所以在内陆安然生存，原因之一是利用世代相传的歌谣，来记住横穿荒野的方式。这些歌谣犹如歌唱地图，指引他们前往猎场，水源和避难所。但是我对那些歌谣一窍不通。
And that means sticking to my northwest bearing and hoping that I’ll eventually find civilization. Food is hard to find in this wilderness. But you’ll need to keep looking or you’ll just run out of energy.
而且我要一直往西北方向前行，希望在那里能找到人烟。在荒野里，很难找到食物。但是得努力寻找，不然就会耗尽能量。
There’s a spider there, a crucifix spider. And they are called these just from the shape where they sit in their prey and that cross-like a crucifix shape. And then all the web around it, the web they spin is actually amazing. It’s actually fifty times stronger than steel. 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. 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. Here we go. And grab him here, squeeze his head and then put him in. Uh, it just tastes like kind of guts 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…
那里有只十字蜘蛛，它因以十字姿势捕获猎物而得名。十字蜘蛛捕获猎物后，吐出蛛丝将猎物团团围住，它结成的网非常强韧，比钢铁还要强硬50倍。在军队服役期间，我也学过用蜘蛛网来治疗伤口。你要做的就是收集蜘蛛网，揉成一团敷在伤口上，它会加快血液凝固，帮助止血。这里的蜘蛛有毒，但毒性不强，不至于使人受伤。他可能会夹你一小口。然而要活下来就得投机取巧地捕猎。这只是可以吃的。抓住它这里，揪掉头部，然后放到嘴里。啊，它吃起来就像在吃内脏、脓水和大脑。蜘蛛和其他昆虫一样富含蛋白质，但这也是远远不够的。头顶上的雨就要停了，在这样炎热的天气里，必须找到一些食物...
