What's really going on
The video diary is a survival tool disguised as a chat. Naming things out loud — the failed pulley, the urine in the CamelBak, the raven — keeps Aron's mind occupied and keeps him a person rather than an animal waiting to die. The jokes are doing real work: "It's got to be chilled like sauvignon blanc," he says about his own urine, turning horror into a bit. When he talks about the tourniquet, the tone changes. That word points at what he already suspects he may have to do. The camera gives him someone to talk to, and the running commentary is less a record for rescuers than a way of refusing to disappear quietly.

It was worth a try.After his pulley plan fails, Aron shrugs it off. The line is less about the rig than about refusing to let a dead end become despair.

このシーンについての質問
Why is Aron recording himself?
It's a video diary. Talking out loud keeps him company and keeps his mind steady while he's trapped, and it may also be a record for whoever finds him.
What does Aron mean by 'my insect friends'?
It's dark humor. He jokes that the insects will be disappointed because he hasn't had a bowel movement, implying he expects to become food for them.
Why does he mention a tourniquet?
Because he's thinking about cutting off his own arm. The tourniquet is equipment he'd need for that, and mentioning it shows he's already considering it.
What failed for Aron before this?
He spent the morning building a pulley system to lift the rock, but the friction was too high and his climbing rope stretched too much, so it didn't work.
What does 'worth a try' tell us about Aron?
That he won't beat himself up over a failed plan. He treats the attempt as something to be proud of rather than a waste of energy.
