Six hunters remain at Bømoen camp. In Wednesday’s episode, the participants will once again go through tough exercises to fight their way to the big final, which is just around the corner.

For one aspirant in particular, however, things go completely wrong.
– Haven’t had the chance to see it on TV
In the episode, the aspirants must fight a group of enemies called “The Termites”, and with that get an introduction to the enemy’s alarm system and training in parachute jumping.
It arouses a reaction from participant Robin Hofset (32), who in the episode is brought to tears and says that he is afraid to jump. In the plane, fear takes over, and Hofset withdraws from the parachute jump.
The YouTube profile tells Dagbladet that he is reluctant to relive the incident on screen.
– I haven’t had the chance to watch it on TV, actually. I think I’ll wait until I see how people react and what they write.
Hofset can say that at the outset he was determined to carry it out.
– Perfect match
– It was extremely frustrating on the plane there. I was so prepared to jump. It went pretty well until we had to. But then I saw how terribly far down it was, how strong the wind was and – then I just got the “packer”. When Silset (participant Mikkel Bratt Silset, 33rd editor’s note) just slipped out, then everything went wrong, explains the 32-year-old.
– I was sad, scared, and all at once.
In Wednesday’s episode, Hofset is clearly disappointed at not having finished.
– I have in a way forgiven myself, but you know in a way that deep down, you still hate yourself a little. Rationally speaking, it’s going well, but I expected a little more from myself, he explains.
The 32-year-old can say that he has taken steps to one day be able to jump with a parachute.
Shock sum: – To survive
– Now I have started climbing to build myself up, and my goal is to be able to jump with a parachute. I want to, because I was so incredibly disappointed in myself.
– Had a panic attack
He explains to Dagbladet that it is not the first time he has felt such strong fear, as in the plane.
Two years ago, Hofset experienced panic for the first time.
– I was with some friends, and then there were some locals who were going to take us on a breezy mountain trip. It was a very narrow area, it was at least a hundred meters, it was a long way down. I guess that shelf was a meter long, describes the YouTuber, and continues:
– It was a very good clearance, but “if I tip over, then I’m done”. It was the first time I had panic attacks. I have never experienced that before. But I recovered after they took my bag. Now I sound very nitpicky, but it was just completely unexpected.
In “Kompani Lauritzen” this panic set in again. But even though Hofset is disappointed that he was unable to complete the jump, the 32-year-old emphasizes that he is proud of his own efforts.
Married for the fifth time
– I think I have delivered well. I got a message from my one elementary school teacher that I really like, and she said it very nicely. That not only have you managed to get where you are, but that you have been kind to everyone all the way too.
Hofset also takes the opportunity to praise his fellow aspirants.
– You are at your worst, and I think that if you are still kind then you are OK. It’s also like that with all the other participants too, we’ve definitely taken care of each other and want to hang out a lot more.
It will not be revealed in Wednesday’s episode whether Hofset will be allowed to continue in the competition.
