Joe teti

Move with a purpose dude.

If you ever heard that old saying, where there's smoke there's fire; well that's a load of bull.

Dude that was bad ass.

Dude, that was a knuckle buster brother.

You've always got to have a plan B. You've got to be able to shift gears and find a new course of action.

At the top of my list for terrain that I hate navigating through, it is definitely the mangrove.

One long step there and you're gonna die.

Hiking up a hill is an ass kicker, going downhill is a little easier.

It's a game changer, not a game ender.

If you're rushing around like a chicken with its head cut off you're probably going to get hurt.

We've got a lot to gain and nothing to lose.

Here's the bottom line, we're either going or not.

If I gave this guy more time, there would be a swimming pool and rattan furniture.

The same water that will kill you, drown you, give you hypothermia is the same water that will help you survive.

You know what, I'll suffer in silence.

It drops down to a place I ain't going.

One thing you can never underestimate is the power of water.

Putting us in risk is just plain stupid.

In any survival situation, you need to weigh the risk and the reward.

Yet again, Matt pulled another rabbit out of his hat and got a fire for us.

What you don't want to do is dig around here like a groundhog on crack.

What do you say to a guy that says a tree's sexy.

Getting lost in a place like this you can almost guarantee that you aren't going to make it out here.

Most of my hunting experiences has been in tree stands. I've never called deer.

It's darker than a well diggers ass.

Usually guys with your skill set like to eat bugs; I don't get that dude.

It's alright if you lose a few battles, but as long as you win the war, that's all that matters.

Shirts don't grow on trees.

It's always good to give yourself the advantage.

You don't have to be a rocket science to know that if Joe Teti has a rifle, and a round to go with it. I'm going hunting.

Altitude sickness is gonna put the screws on you.

Right now, in my mind, this is nothing but grip strength and focus.

All this is, is a nine hundred dollar hammer.

This place has a one, two knockout punch.

You have got to control your fear, get in control of your emotions.

Three fires is the international distress signal.

The terrain is thinner, the vegetation is greener, that's a good sign we're getting close to the coast.

If you don't have your game-face on, you're going to go home either to a hospital or to a casket.

This is looking tasty.

This is a way you can learn about someone through very stressful situations. That is when a person is either gonna shine or falter.

This is the first time I've done something like this and I'm really hoping this will work.

You know this is a dicey situation anyway you look at it.

Apparently Matts been busier than a centipede at a toe counting contest.

Clear water is always suspect.

Dude, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

His first instinct was to help me, not sit like a deer in headlights, I now know that Matt isn't one to panic

Survival protocol says follow water out, and that's exactly what we're going to do.

We can navigate by looking at ant mounds.

What I envisioned to see was a group of guys drinking beer.

I see smoke, smoke means fire, fire means people, people means we get the hell out of here.

I know this guy is a musician so I hope he can play us a tune that could get us the hell out of here.

The moon just crapped the bed.

It's mistakes that get you killed

That's a great golden nugget that's going in my tactical toolbox

I ran across a rattlesnake once in New Mexico, you know what I did with it, chopped its head off and we ate it.

I like the way you hustle man.

So far he's bringing his A-game.

I'm normally not at a loss of words but I am a little taken aback by what you're wearing; it's a little different.

The faster you can signal for rescue, the faster you get out of that situation.

We'll stay warm tonight even if we have to sit by each other and snuggle.

Sandals are made out of rubber, and when lit on fire burn black.

Where I come from, the attitude to have is to not quit.

Mother Nature is a relentless ruthless killer. She don't give a damn if you get home to your family.

In any high stress situation you are going to default to your level of training...period.

The decided to go exploring, be Indiana Jones they don't have a light they don't have a map you're a screwed with a capital S.

I club the thing over the head and that's the end of it.

We cannibalized this bike as much as we could've.

If you fall from here, if you're not dead you're gonna wish you were.

It kind of sounds like the noise a goat would make if you punched it in the face.

I'm very confident that if I get close to one of these pigs, i could put the smack down on it.

You've got to think outside the box. If you can't, that's going to put you behind the power curve in a big way.

That's a huge part foul man; that's just not cool.

Everyone knows the rules of three's, you can survive three weeks without food, but not in this environment.

This is like being in the super bowl. It's first down, you're on the one yard line, You either make a touchdown or you're hosed.

I'm in the woods with Dr. Doolittle.

You may only get one chance at something...and that requires confidence in your ability.

My whole philosophy in survival is to take down brush as soon as you get in a situation.

That's a bust your ass shot through and through.

#1 priority is water, water and more water.

This suntan lotion acts as an accelerator and an extender, meaning that this fire will burn brighter and longer.

This is teamwork; this is what it's all about.

I have to take off my hat to Matt, he's trying crazy hard to get this fire started.

After 20 years in special operations trust me, I know my body.

I'm gonna see how this works out, but I think it's a bad idea.

Surviving a tough situation means staying in the fight and maintaining a warrior's mindset.

The fools that came in here brought their beach gear to a cave...go figure.

I'm not much of a beer drinker, you know what I drink? Peach wine coolers.

My motto is to keep it simple stupid, work smart not hard.

It's beautiful, it's poetry in motion.

If you choose to get off the beaten path here, you'll find yourself in a situation where everything looks the same.

Everywhere you go, mother nature's throwing some curve-ball at you.

Looking good Matt, you look like a money.

I think every minute you're in a situation like this, your clock is ticking.

Now that this torch is lit, we do not have time to dilly dally around.

I'm a combat diver, I've never done something like this.

I don't know about you, but rattlesnake sounds pretty damn good right now.

For us to get to those huts and no one's home, it's going to be a kick to the nuts.

Sometimes you have to take the harder course of action.

Let's go Matt; we aren't strolling through Central Park here.

It's probably one of the worst places I've been.

Stay in the game and stay alive.
