Dani Beau Tells All On The Full Naked And Afraid Experience

What was your thing at the end, when you made it home, that you were like, "I'm doing that right away"?

Well, for food, it's always been a jar of peanut butter, and I put dark chocolate in it, and I would just eat chocolate straight from the peanut butter jar. That was my craving for all of my challenges, and then I really missed, not so much clothing, but just having a blanket. I was always reaching for a phantom blanket when I was out there. So I just liked having something covering my body, and I definitely didn't miss the insects.

So when you go home after 21 days of not eating, living in whatever shelter you build with no clothes on, are there things that are hard to adjust to when you get back? That sort of starvation your body goes into, if you just eat a burger right when you get home, would that make you sick? What was your adjustment period getting home like?

I've heard a lot of different people struggled, but for me, I came out unscathed in all of my challenges, and I stuffed my face with food. That was the fun part. I would say physically I was fine, but it was really weird hearing music for the first time again. I forgot all of my passwords to social media, especially after the 40 days. So it was just getting used to being a human again and driving a car and sitting in traffic and turning on music and having running water. You don't have to boil it. So just fitting back into society, it took a bit. Everyone wanted to have a big party, and I just couldn't do it. I didn't want to see anybody.

I feel like traffic is probably quite underwhelming after you're staying up all night trying not to be eaten by something.

[I] feel like the funny part [is], I remember just sitting there on day 30, just thinking like, "I would love to sit in traffic and pick any radio station right now." And then when you're back in regular life, you remember that moment. And you're like, "Wow, I'm privileged enough to be driving a vehicle, and I can listen to music, and I can drink water." I just became grateful for that privilege.

That's amazing.
