On this episode of Dual Survival, it's a helicopter. Joe and Matt are stranded at 10,000 feet

in the frozen wilderness of Wyoming's Rocky Mountains. You see it, Matt? We're completely exposed out here, and if you

don't stay ahead of the game, you're gonna die. Oh man, this either works or we have no fire. In a survival situation, you

must be able to do this, or you'll die. Wyoming's Snowy Range, in this section of

the Rocky Mountains. Jagged peaks soar to nearly 13,000 feet above sea level. Strong winds cut across the steep slopes.

Scenario: A rider takes his snowmobile up a mountain [Music], but when it runs out of fuel,

he is left stranded high on an exposed ridge. Wyoming is the least populated state in the country; very easy to get lost out

here and very difficult to be found. You make one bad decision here, you're done. Getting a little deep

right now, Matt. And I are at 10,000 feet and trudging through this deep snow is a

lot of work. Altitude, deep snow—you're getting smoked, Joe. Our snowmobile, right up there! Good Lord, how the hell did he get up here?

I don't think this thing's going anywhere. I don't even think if we got it started we could even get out of here.

The snow's a damn deep, yeah. Um, so why don't we tear this thing apart, man, and let's just dig in, bro? Yeah.

Sounds good. Lots of wires, lots of hosing. There's a little bit of a space blanket tarp on

here. Oh, nice! Well, there's the manual. Oh, I don't think that'll do this much good, though. If you're ever in a situation

where you have some kind of asset, whether it be a car or a snowmobile, always think: food, water, shelter, fire.

This will probably burn. Black matte insulation. Yeah, that looks good. Why don't I start digging out a snow cave?

Just some kids would get hit. I can get the rest of this dude. There ain't much longer. I'm going to try to take this

thing off, maybe these, and that's about it. Maybe some wires, and I'm gonna get to work on a fire. Okay, yeah, let me check

out some spots. I got this, bro. We're exposed up here in the wind. There's not a lot of trees, but there is

a lot of snow, so I'm going to take advantage of that and use its insulative properties and dig a snow cave.

This spot right here is looking great because a lot of the snow is blowing up against this bank, and there's enough of

a slope here that I can dig up down low and get underneath it while Matt continues to work on the

shelter. Joe takes a quick assessment of the resources they've salvaged from the snowmobile and solidifies his plan for

making a signal fire. I've got the battery. I'm going to strip off some wire to make an arc. I got some

gas in the fuel line, but I need to go get some wood, maybe some of the paper that's in the instruction manual,

and get this fire going. I'm going to take the battery, get two wires, and use that just to create

basically a short and a spark. Once it starts burning, I'll throw the wood on it. That'll get the fire I need, then I'll

throw the rubber on it and it'll start burning. In an environment where the temperatures are below freezing, it's critical you

don't get wet because once you stop working, in ambient temperatures outside, it's below freezing; that's going

to turn into ice all around you. Right now, the biggest issue is for us to wake up alive tomorrow.

Okay, that's looking pretty good. You can see that I've kept this domed, and that that dome structure actually makes it a

bit stronger, and I've also dug up a bit. So it's hard to tell from this view,

but this bed area is actually higher than the entrance. So at this point, the shape, everything's great. What I'm going to do is grab a

stick to poke a vent hole, because that's critical. Since we're actually up higher, it's important to keep oxygen flowing through

it and out. All right, we got fire! That's what I needed. First, I'm gonna throw this piece of Styrofoam on,

cut that belt into little pieces, and this is going to go right on top of it. You're starting to see some black

and that's it! Signal for rescue, Matt! We got fire! Oh yeah, we got some good black smoke going here.

Oh yeah, the clouds have just moved in. Look at this! There's no way anyone's going to see

this.  Five minutes ago we had clear skies; now I've got black smoke in the air. Boom! Cloud cover comes in there.

Could be a Boy Scout jamboree down over this hill; they're not going to see it.

Yeah, no one's gonna see it.  This ain't no one going to see Jack here, man. So

much for the signal fire. Now we're up on this exposed ridge, you know we're gonna have to come up with another plan. This

really pisses me off because I... I really... a lot of effort went into this, but I have an idea. I'm gonna go back to the

damn snowmobile and I'm gonna grab the headlight off of it and see if I can jerry-rig some kind of SOS signal. Yeah,

maybe set it up here, just face it out that way. I'll be right back. We're going to connect one of the ends

To the positive terminal, then with the other end, I'm going to go... dit dit dit dit dit... that's Morse code SOS.

How's it going out here? Good, man! This is gonna work. Watch! [Music] Oh yeah! The beauty of the signal I just...

set up is I can do it from inside the shelter. I can do it all night long, and...

you can see that for freaking miles. How's the shelter looking, bro? I think that's the best I can do tonight, so it...

looks cozy. Oh, we'll crawl in. Hopefully somebody's gonna see this light signal, but if not, Matt and I have got to come...

up with another plan first thing in the morning. That light is great; somebody's going to be able to see that from at least three...

miles away. I don't know how long this battery is going to last, though, man. It's starting to warm up here already. Matt...

made the shelter just the right size; it's just big enough for both of us to fit in it. He's got pine boughs on the...

floor, so we're out of the wind and off the snow. It's perfect. It's going to be...

toasty warm compared to sitting your ass out here in the snow. All I'm thinking about right now is shut-eye. I am getting...

through tonight. I figure tomorrow, let's see what the weather is doing, reassess the situation. I agree. I'm going to send a few more of these...

man, and I'm gonna get some shut-eye. Yeah. [Music] Let me throw this out there at you:

How about if we flip that thing over, cut the tread off the back of it, burn some more? I bet you there's enough tread on...

there to burn for a freaking hour. What do you think? I mean, look at that! We could not be on a...

better piece of terrain right now to signal for rescue. I know I told Matt I wanted to spend one...

Night here, but the visibility is so good, maybe we should just stay here one more night. I just feel like we'll be better off if

we get down there, and there's definitely a lot of tree cover so we can get out of this exposed area and have some more

resources. Joe's just being a bit stubborn, even though we're up on this ridge and the weather's nice now, a storm could still

come over and we could be hit. It's better for us right now to get down and be protected from the elements; it's

definitely the right call. All right, yeah. [Music] Walking in deep snow is one of the most

challenging things you can do physically. There are points in time where I'm stepping and I'm sinking up to my waist.

Add in altitude and cold, I'm getting smoked right now. How you doing, Joe? The problem with just blindly pushing

through the forest like this is that people actually die in tree wells. A tree well is basically a pocket

underneath a tree. What happens is you walk through there and you can fall in headfirst; snow covers it up and you're

stuck in a funny position. It's basically like being covered up by an avalanche.

20% of all ski and snowboard-related deaths occur because of tree wells. A startling 90% of victims that

fall into these holes are unable to free themselves without assistance and can be buried alive. I keep trying to pack it

down as much as I can. How you doing back there?

Thinking a little bit. Good. I'm stuck up to my waist on that one.

We just gotta keep struggling through till we get to lower elevation. Okay. Everything in snow comes to a grinding

halt. You go from fifth gear to first real quick. So if you think you're gonna walk five miles, you might walk a mile.

Maybe in one day, foreign... How you doing? I'm alright, man. Cut straight down there, oh.

[Music] Watch it, Matt! I see you at the bottom. Okay, this is... sorry, but that was kind of fun though.

Yeah, it looked it. Check this out! Nice open area. Yeah, let's get down. Check it out. Okay, right now all I'm seeing is a big open

area, and I'm thinking to myself, was the effort coming down here worth it? That remains to be seen.

Wow, that's a lake for sure. You can see the edge of it. Yeah, Matt, those look like very old snowmobile

tracks. Yeah, well, people have been up here then. There are some old snowmobile tracks here. I'm thinking maybe a few

days, maybe a week. So sheltering here is probably a pretty good idea. I mean, this is as good a place as any to hunker down.

It's a nice open area; might be a good spot to throw out a signal. We've got this wide, visible area, and it's a big white

surface, so anything we put out there's going to be a lot of contrast. This is going to be great out here.

Throw out a signal right out in the middle. You want to do an X, three lines, SOS. A V-V would be simple

to indicate that we need assistance. V-V is an international distress signal, which means 'need assistance.' And trust me,

when I tell you, Matt and I need assistance, dude! Let's make it freaking big, man! Yeah, as big as we can get it.

Since Matt has the skis on, he's going to pound out the V. While he's doing that, I'm gonna go start

cutting down pine boughs. What we're going to do is use the green of the pine boughs against the white of

the snow. If anybody flies over, if they can't see it, they must be blind! Oh, dude, this is going to work real well. Look at

That's a contrast, dude. Yep, it took a lot to get down here, so this better pay off for Matt and me.

Giving it one added extra measure, I'm going to go ahead and write an SOS in the snow, plus a little sad face, just so

they know we're not happy campers. We've got going on here. SOS and a very sad face. We'll make another one for me with

a smiley face. All right, you're having a good time. Come on, dude, positive mental attitude out here. You know, he should be drawing a

happy face. [Music] I think this area is as good as any. Got this natural tree here that's

fallen over; there's another one right behind it that'll frame in a nice shelter area. This is a great shelter

location because I've got a massive tree to work with, so I'm already partially protected. I think this is the last one.

Matt, ah, nice one. You know what? We've got enough cover from this tree. I think if we just focus on getting a fire in there
