<p>Reed City Couple Braves The Unknown in National Survival Show</p>

Reed City Couple Braves The Unknown in National Survival Show

A Reed City couple is still soaking in the experience of a lifetime.

They spent 49 days roughing it outside on an island near Canada.

They starred in season 4 of the survival series, Alone.

They first found out about the show during season 1 and admitted to binge watching it.

When it was finally their turn -- they were their own camera crew -- shooting all the footage themselves for the series.

We've always had this concept of dropping off the grid and trying to survive together out in the wilderness.

Brooke and Dave Whipple braved the unknown in the 4th period of this survival series, Alone, with one purpose in mind.

"You are gonna be there until you can not be there anymore," Brooke said.

That was 49 days for the Whipples -- alone -- on an island near Vancouver Island.

They carryied everything.

And to make things tougher, they started out separated.

The chopper dropped Dave off on the opposite side of the island from Brooke.

"Most of the increase I was just pushing through brush you can not see anything you can not look out and say 'oh there's mountains here, there's ocean over there,''' Dave said. "It is so dark there, it's blacker than black there's no lights."

Reunited on day 8.

"Oh it was amazing," they clarified. "It was kind of like day one with a whole lot of days before it," Dave laughed.

Building fires, fishing, keeping track of the day of the week on a log, and their days by tally marks on their knife holder.

"You are really just living the same day over and over and over again," he said.

Until it's time for bed.

"There were absolutely no inputs for such a long time so we'd get into bed and have the most amazing dreams," he explained. "It was like going to the movies."

Celebrating victories like finally catching their first fish on day 11.

"Just like this and I was like 'oh man this is a game changer,''' he said.

Besides fish -- they rationed out just 2 and a half pounds of trail mix

"You got like bird crumbs right and you simply make it last," Dave laughed. "I was eating my raisins in thirds, like sting a third of a raisin."

That's the reason they lost so much weight.

Back in 49 days, Dave lost 43 pounds and Brooke dropped 31 -- putting her at just 97 pounds.

Leading them to a difficult decision...but one that needed to occur.

"Our story had to end that day," Brooke said.

They finished third of seven total teams.

The winning team remained 79 days while the other teams fell over the first 12.

Brooke and Dave returned home with a new appreciation for the small things.

"Something that you would take for granted when you are well fed and your hot, it meant everything, it's a crock pot of soup you are just giggling, it's just food, it's amazing," they both laughed.

As well as new favourite TV channel.

"We saw that the food channel for 24 hours a day," he said.

Losing lots of weight and possibly even some of their sanity on their experience, but gaining so much more.

"It's an amazing experience you just don't have any idea until you go through something like that how much you take for granted," she said.
