72 HOUR SURVIVAL (no food, no water, on an island)

for the next 72 hours we are going to be stranded on this deserted island off the coast of panama with no food our only bone hook is stuck on a rock no water and only one item each i don't think i've slept at all i grew up watching survival shows you're stuck out here with no water source at all it's actually drink the fluid from a fresh elephant down so if i'm being honest this is my childhood dream come true but at the same time the realities of how challenging and how uncomfortable this is going to be we're already setting it if you missed our last video we've just spent the last three days learning survival skills from the experts it is the world's most poisonous tree now the challenge is to take what we've learned and see if we can put it to use in a real life survival situation this little shady patch of sand is going to be our home for the next 72 hours we have four people participating in this challenge and for my one item i have chosen to bring a fishing kit but to make this even more of a challenge for no reason we are not going to allow ourselves to use this kit until the last 36 hours of the challenge the first 36 hours we will attempt to catch fish just by primitive means i'm dusty nate's brother and i decided to bring machete i'm sarah dusty's wife and i brought a knife and last but not least i chose to bring coffee i already can't wait to drink my morning coffee out of my coconut that i carved out myself i know most people wouldn't consider this a survival necessity but if i'm gonna be productive at all to this group i need this and i'm gonna share and in addition to our one man-made item each we have a few other things that we've brought along all these things we have made with our own hands during the last three days as we've been learning survival skills this is a pot for cooking we have some coconut bowls for eating and drinking out of and most importantly is our bow drill kit this is what we will use to attempt to start fire this is genuinely and i'm not just saying this one of the most ambitious attempts to do this final three days so just to be clear whenever someone signs up to do this survival challenge with tom he's kind enough to let them take all sorts of goodies with him to make things more comfortable but against tom's will we refused all of these things and only brought the items we just showed you so these guys i promise you are doing this really ridiculously hardcore they've got to film this thing and they're making it very hard for themselves so they're saying that they're not going to take in the flower they're saying they're not going to take in any of these personal hygiene items their water bottle they're not going to take the water the head torch they're not gonna take the sleeping bag liner and they're saying that they're certainly gonna try to fish just using bones for at least the first 36 hours so no to the fishing kit all right so now that you have a better understanding of the real situation let's get to work yeah let's like let's just clear this whole space oh are you like sleeping i love it our top three priorities for today are fire water and shelter if we can achieve those three things before the sun goes down we will count today as a massive success we're starting by attempting to build a shelter this tree that we were planning on building our shelter against is literally covered in millions of ants i mean they seem to just be hanging out on the tree but the idea that they could just crawl into bed with us very easily i think we stay feels like it's almost two o'clock already and we don't have any of our essentials done so i think we just gotta stick with it today already looking fresh sarah and i are attempting to build a mattress with all these dead palm leaves on the ground our goal is to layer up as many as possible because it's pretty much been the crab apocalypse each night when the sun goes down i'm pretty nervous about it they're everywhere wow during our survival training we learned how to make a mattress out of fresh green palm branches and this one is hanging so low but it's so stuck i've been trying to pull on it forever and i was just shaking the tree and these two giant green coconuts fell from the tree but also almost laid on sarah's head we learned that coconuts kill 14 times more people than sharks every year so this is a real safety concern did you pull any more down come on down come on anybody remember which side we're supposed to hit we learned last week that these green coconuts are the most difficult to get but they're also the yummiest so getting two off the tree by accident this early in the challenge was a pretty big deal but since we were still so fresh we had no idea how grateful we should have been no kara gets the first sip for sure cara got those down their bare hands well our first water of the trip and maybe we should have saved them for later instead of chugging them right away they say you need about 400 milliliters of water per day to survive to thrive no to survive oh and i think each coconut has somewhere around that amount so we need at least four coconuts a day or we're going to be extremely uncomfortable we were all feeling dangerously optimistic at this point but nate was right we had no idea how quickly we'd feel the effects of not eating or drinking anything except for the half a coconut you just saw [Music] it's definitely sad how much trash washes up on the beach however this giant knot of rope is extremely useful sarah and i are cutting little strings like this in order to build our shelter so while the girls work on the roof of the shelter dusty and i are going to attempt to start a fire the goal is to use this bow to spin the spindle fast enough inside this hole that it gets hot enough to create an ember and then we will slowly and carefully move that ember to this tinder bundle and blow on it until hopefully it combusts into flames we've done this once before and it literally took hours so wish us luck but if you can drink your urine i think you can all right warmed it up alright ready we have a really good ember look at that oh my gosh we're not there yet come on the smoke is a good sign look at that look at that yes yes oh my gosh we have fire oh it's terribly warm thank goodness i was sweating so bad 20 minutes wow 20 minutes that was what i was most excited about doing this whole trip and the fact that we did it in 20 minutes i am on an adrenaline high right now we were all on a major adrenaline high at this point but we'd soon learn that survival is a constant roller coaster of highs like this one and lows we're gonna burn down our shelter yeah we might all that smoke blowing into the shelter if all goes as planned that's gonna keep us from getting eaten alive while we sleep hopefully we can still breathe to be determined real quick i want to say a big thank you to athletic greens for sponsoring this video and i just wanted to give you a little reminder of what i look like when i've showered slept and eaten properly 801 by athletic grains has been part of our daily routine for two years and we absolutely love it trust me we would not keep talking about it if we didn't it is an all-in-one nutritional supplement and just one scoop contains 75 vitamins minerals whole food source ingredients and all sorts of other awesome things that we were definitely not getting from our diet alone we seriously don't go anywhere without it i even brought these to the island stirring it with a stick because i don't think coconuts contain magnesium vitamin a vitamin c vitamin e diamond riboflavin niacin vitamin b6 folate vitamin b12 and of course it's vegan paleo keto all the things when we're at home or living out of the van we keep this jar in the fridge but when we're living out of a suitcase again i stuff as many of these travel packs as i can in my bag so this is proof that we really love this stuff i had to bring enough to make sure we had some for every single day until we go back home again so if you'd like to try ag-1 which we highly recommend that you do if you click the link below you can get the ag-1 immunity bundle your first purchase will include this jar the shaker five free travel packs and a year supply of these vitamin d drop they help support your immunity and nate and i also take these every day i promise you won't regret it all right back to the video we're going on a celebratory swim [Music] this is so great we learned the importance of keeping our body temperature in a nice cool level trying to conserve as much water in our body as possible instead of sweating it all out nate did not get the memo and continue doing lots of things that made him sweat which unfortunately is going to lead him to feeling worse than anyone tonight i kid you not we just found what's left of a shovel back in the woods oh yeah that's perfect hurry you nailed it is that sharp enough i think so a snake just fell out of a tree right in front of my face look at its tongue sticking out it is the most camouflaged animal i've ever seen whoa look at it go up this tree we learned in our training that there are snakes here but they're harmless garden snakes i feel pretty good that it's not going to bite us or eat us i kind of want to eat him so coconuts are going to be our sole source of water for this entire experience there's really two types of coconuts here on the island we have the green coconuts which are the ones that are still up in the trees and are growing and the one that almost fell on kara's head then we have the brown mature coconuts the crazy thing about these is the majority of them didn't even come from this island they fall into the water and then they wash up on shore and these can survive out in the ocean for nine months and still have drinkable liquid inside so the green coconuts you open with a machete but the brown coconuts because the outside of them has gotten so hard you have to open them using a coconut spike which is the pointy stick that we just put in the ground yes and 10 minutes later you have the inside of the coconut even though there were drinkable brown coconuts all over the ground little did we know this would be one of our last nate was still fresh enough to crack this one open but soon none of us would have enough energy to even make a dent i'm definitely feeling tired and hungry and thirsty and we just got here but knowing that like we've skipped lunch we haven't had anything to drink and we have not stopped since we got here we deserve this we've been told that you can drink as many of the green coconuts as you want but if you drink more than four or five of these brown ones you know diarrhea i don't know if that's gonna stop me from drinking more of these though well today this is definitely lunch because that's peace down my throat this is the only food we have we also built a bench this tastes amazing right now by the feeling i'm gonna be so sick of coconuts by day three he looks like a two-year-old being force-feed green beans she still hasn't chewed it we've already lost the girls we've only been out here for about six hours but it is just so hot and we've had so little water that everyone's already feeling a little lethargic sarah is what we call a coconut drunk that's holding on to the edge while she's still sleeping well jealous if i'm being honest after my little nap i decided to continue gathering dead palm branches for our shelter until where is it i think it's a tarantula or just the biggest spider i've ever seen in my entire life i also think it might be dead or close to dead nope not dead oh that's disgusting let's get it far far away from our camp get him out oh my oh my gosh oh wow look at that that is the meanest looking spider i've ever seen he's like we almost put him in our bed get him out i can't get him out you're gonna have to do it i'm sorry whoa look at those fangs get out of here don't go torch camp oh we were warned about a lot of things but not those and we just built the entire top of our roof out of those brown branches that we found that tarantula in and we're using them for our bedding unfortunately we're running low on palm leaf branches for our shelter and we're only about halfway so nate and dusty have made this contraption and have pulled down a couple more dead ones it's definitely looking sheltery so we have about an hour and a half until the sun sets and our two biggest concerns at this point is one the roof is not finished and two we haven't found a good way to get green coconuts so we're all very thirsty and if it rains tonight we're definitely getting wet the brown ones just take so much energy to open it's almost not even worth it it worked it was fresh water so this is called a bottle still and basically you cut the top off of a smaller bottle and put some salt water in it and the bottom off of a two liter and fold the bottom of it up then you stick this in the sand and put this on top and let the sun heat up and the condensation runs down into this bottom vent and creates fresh water it doesn't yield much but it's better than nothing don't try it [Music] it doesn't taste like salt water but it tastes like plastic that's true it's a little plasticky we're also drinking out of trash so so this is an old termite mound basically this is just the home that the termite mound makes they chew the bark spit it out they build their house but within that there's a an insecticide and so when it burns it releases that pheromone or whatever it may be but it it makes quite a sweet sense almost like a justice incense stick and keeps the samples away so we're going to light these on fire and stick them around our shelter tonight and hope that repels at least some of the bugs also i slice my ankle open on a thorn we thought no shoes would be a fun little addition to this challenge but that's proving to be one of the toughest parts the sun is setting on our first day of survival and it has already been a roller coaster i feel like earlier this morning we started on such a high but then as the afternoon went on we quickly realized that coconuts and green palms were going to be much harder to obtain than we thought we've been able to poke one out of the tree other than that we're just scrounging the brown coconuts off the ground and spending all of our energy trying to open them on the spike but all in all we got a little water today we started a fire and we have the majority of a shelter complete so i don't think we could be too hard on ourselves but one thing lucas said to us before we left was savor this time because few people get the opportunity to ever start a survival situation from scratch so even though we're very thirsty and starting to get a little uncomfortable and do our best to soak it all in kara thoughts i'm a little bit hungry and thirsty but my spirits are high i'm starting to already worry about tomorrow which is not a very healthy way to think all right before it gets too dark to film let me show you our sleeping situation for the night we've got our termite mounds burning to hopefully keep the bugs away we've got our fire set up right in front of our shelter so that the smoke is blowing back into the shelter to also keep the bugs away termite mound termite mound termite mound and then the plan is to just sleep on this massive pile of palm leaves i highly doubt we're getting any sleep tonight thanks for doing this with me [Music] that was one of the craziest nights of my life [Music] [Music] last night just kind of all feels like a bad dream so first we crawl into the shelter and then we realize we're getting smothered by the fire that we created we're just went down trying to go to sleep and we're realizing that we've made a mistake building the fire a foot in front of the entrance of the shelter it's hard to breathe in there no bugs i'm gonna sleep like this good night and then as soon as the smoke and the light go away the crabs come out i'm talking crabs this big they're called halloween moon crabs but we had no way to stop them from coming in bed with us crawling on top of us crawling over our arm crawling over our leg running into our heads at one point in the middle of the night i literally had one climb up the back of my shirt it was constant and you couldn't sleep and then the sand flies came out they're as small as the tip of a needle and these little black bugs that bite you and make you itch really bad not sure if you can see those red marks those are sand fly bites and they're all over my hands my feet then the rest of the night was a mixture of sand flies and crabs it was crazy shampoo is bad last night yeah you can see where my sleeve ended very clearly so the most important thing that we have to figure out today is how to get green coconuts and more water yesterday we had these two sticks attached with a rope at the very end and we were trying to reach those two sticks up to the coconuts and then wrap their string around the coconut and pull it down out of the tree the problem is 99 of the coconuts on this island were just out of reach of our stick so this morning we are going to attempt to build a ladder that'll let us get a little bit higher to be able to reach those coconuts and pull them down we found two pieces of bamboo that have washed up on the beach and we're cutting holes in the bamboo and then we're going to cut rungs that are going to go into the holes and then we're going to use tree bark to tie the ladder together nature's toothbrush this is a hibiscus tree and little fibers in here kind of feel like a toothbrush they definitely make your teeth feel clean which is better than nothing so when you're not eating anything and you're barely drinking anything your mouth tastes pretty gross [Applause] wow that kind of looks like a ladder now we just have to figure out a way to make it stay together it's pretty good oh it actually feels pretty solid super solid ready yeah here goes nothing oh it's such a high first step it's working you made a ladder i'm so close to the coconuts good work nicely done i feel so good right now i still can't believe i haven't had coffee i'm impressed i feel like i need some coffee i also didn't build a ladder this morning so dusty had the genius idea to build a lasso out of hibiscus bark on top of our really long piece of bamboo so the goal is climb up the ladder loop the lasso around the coconut and pull it down it feels pretty strong i think this is strong enough i think standing on the ladder and trying to loop it is going to be more difficult than it appears ah okay plan f so this was what we were trying yesterday but we didn't have enough pipe to reach any of the coconuts but we're hoping we can stick this string either over a coconut or in behind it and then we'll twist these two together and then we'll just pull and that'll break the coconut off the tree theoretically just follow me up as high as you can highs and lows highs and lows they said okay while the guys continue to attempt to get the coconuts down i'm gonna work on our bed situation we've got to do something about the crabs i'm starting by putting some logs on either side however crabs can climb straight up trees so that's not going to do much but what they can't climb is plastic so my plan is to dig a trench on the outside of our logs i'm gonna line it with bottles and then bury them in my little crab fence construction project really took it out of me and it turned into another mini nap time then i woke up to what i thought could only be a drain oh my gosh beautiful water water oh oh it's so good oh this just solved the hardest challenge of the trip we kept the fire going we're collecting water thank you that was absolutely amazing i drank four bowls of water falling out of the tree and then as we were collecting it in this whole two liter i realized it looked like this it was just like falling down through the bark of the palm leaves and got a little color but this is more water than i had to drink all of yesterday what a way to wake up i was still half asleep and i heard nate say it was raining so it kind of scooched behind our shelter that we made and i was like oh i'm still dry and then i wasn't our bed is now soaking wet feels like i had a little bit of a shower oh i'm torn though i want to take this coffee i mean i want to take this water and make a coffee so i can feel alive but i know coffee is dehydrating and water is a little hard to come by right now you think you got this no nice wow nicely i can't believe i'm drinking dirty rain water out of trash wow i cannot believe we got all this water it only rained for like what 20 minutes what do i win do i get something just when we were finished celebrating our one bottle of rainwater a second rainstorm came through and we got 11 bottles of water for breakfast i'm attempting to make us some toasted coconut i'm just putting the coconut meat directly on the embers and we've been told that once it cooks it tastes a little bit like popcorn at this point anything that doesn't taste exactly like coconut sounds pretty good oh my gosh it smells so good whoa it tastes more like barbecue than popcorn it's so good mmm i meant more we have one last plan to try so taking the paracord off of the bow drill tied a rock to the end of it and i'm going to attempt to throw this rock hope the paracord loops around the coconut and then pull it down even though we had what felt like a lifetime supply of water it still wasn't enough for all four of us to stay hydrated for the next 48 hours so the green coconut challenge continued got a branch like even if we get the coconut down because we have water it doesn't mean like that big of a score yeah i agree the coconuts can kind of wait until tomorrow i guess it's so crazy how quickly i'll go from here to here we were all feeling so good we caught all that rain we had eaten our coconut popcorn i had so much energy and then just all of a sudden i've crashed some of it could be the caffeine addiction i barely feel like i can hold the camera just trying to remind myself that we chose to do this and we get to do this we've had a slight setback remember how i said we were going to do primitive fishing for the first 36 hours i had weaved 15 feet of this super thin line and then i left it laying on a log last night and i'm pretty positive a crab carried my homemade fishing line into the woods even though it's tiny and it's made out of bark i can't break it even if i'm using all of my might so that was plan a for catching a fish plan b is to take apart the paracord that i was just using to try to get the coconuts and inside the paracord there are about six smaller ropes and we'll tie all of these together and then we'll use this bone hook that we made to hopefully snag a fish i'm sorry it's okay i think i found another one oh no i think the crabs literally buried it and then just chopped it up they did not want us to fish stupid cribs kept us up all night ate our fishing line i'll get it set up and dusty and i will try to go catch some fish we all decided to take a nap during the hottest part of the day but not sure if that was a great idea we're all feeling pretty lethargic after that but dusty and i have gotten ourselves up we're gonna hopefully go catch some fish i think the lack of food is really what's hitting us now almost math is hard right now almost 30 hours in at this point all we've had is coconuts eating several different ways so sarah and i have hit a second wind and now since they're going to catch fish we are using seashells to scrape out this coconut flesh into a bowl and then we're going to squeeze it to make coconut milk to eat coconut curry for dinner so this is our fishing setup we've wrapped the line from the paracord around a plastic bottle we have the bone hook tied on to the end and then we're using a little crab for bait wish this walk good luck our only bone hook is stuck on a rock first cast no way oh okay we have about an hour and a half until the sun sets and this homemade fishing contraption that the hook just fell off of is not working at all i mean fish are biting it we just can't catch them with this bone technically we were not supposed to use the fishing kit that we brought with us until hour 36 it's currently hour 31 but we've decided to make a compromise we are going to use the fishing kit five hours early in hopes of eating something besides coconut tonight do i feel a little guilty about bending the rules yes am i starving also yes let's go see if we can catch some fish no no you lost it calories so the new fishing setup is almost exactly the same we're still using a plastic bottle we just have real fishing line and most importantly a real hook hey we have a fish come on get him up whoa it's a small guy i got one oh it's a good one it's a good one if i can get it up no gosh no it was like this big we've shaved as much coconut as we humanly could and now we are using this natural burlap that comes from the palm tree to hopefully squeeze out some beautiful fresh coconut cream it's beautiful [Music] oh no i just wasted half our coconut cream it's okay we have more it's not much but it's dinner all right we're gonna store our coconut cream in this cute glass bottle we found on the beach one man's trash is a survivor's treasure wow that's a lot i cannot believe we made this so fishing was not quite as fruitful as we had hoped for but we are eating more than coconut tonight so this afternoon sarah and i made some hibiscus sun tea we can pick these beautiful red and orange ones yeah and just make a sun tea you don't need to cook it you just steep it in water so fun so we're gonna have a little sunset tea time it really lifted my spirits cheers day two of survival this is luxury it's nice to have something added to the coconut yeah it's half coconut water and half rain water it's about to get dark honestly i'm hurting a little bit more than i thought i would like if i played ping-pong a three-year-old could beat me right now you just do everything like so much slower and weaker it seems i definitely am looking forward to like pizza honestly any food that's not coconut i mean it could be my least favorite food in the world and i would still love it celery i'd take some celery you would eat celery right now probably the biggest disappointment of today though was how hard neonate works to build that ladder and then the ladder actually working but then it not helping anything yeah a hermit crab wow it's 2 30 in the morning just started raining and i came out to start the fire back up so that we don't lose it i don't think i've slept at all the crabs are even worse tonight one pinched my toe well i can confidently say that that was the worst night of sleep in my entire life somehow the crabs were worse and they got back just from sleeping on the ground for the night before i just can't take it anymore the night's definitely the hardest part of this none of us said it out loud to each other at the time because we didn't want to bring down the group but later we learned that we all woke up feeling the same on this morning which was terrible we had major headaches and we're all a little nauseous [Music] i need this this morning in addition to crabs and rain last night i also feel like i just sweated the entire night morning last night was so wild first of all there was no wind and it was just so hot somehow there were more crabs last night than the night before because of the barrier i made i think they were all trapped in here really hoping i can get a cup of coffee this morning it's been 48 hours and we've had zero caffeine i think we have enough water that it's not an irresponsible decision maybe it still is but i really need some i feel so much better after that swim last night when we all had more energy and we were sitting around the fire we decided today we could either survive or thrive surviving would just be sitting around drinking the rain water that we collected yesterday and pretty much just not doing very much of anything until the boat picks us up tomorrow morning but we decided we'd rather remember our time here on the island as thriving so we've set three goals for ourselves want to make a coconut fish curry shell necklaces as souvenirs to remember the trip pie and this morning i'm going to finally attempt to make carrot coffee using a coconut we'll see if we can all muster up enough energy to accomplish these three things so here's the plan for coffee we're going to attempt to boil water in this gourd we're going to take this coconut that has a hole in the bottom and we're going to put the natural burlap from the palm tree down in the coconut as a filter then we'll pour the boiling water over the coffee and it'll drip down to our cup it's like an island pour over okay here goes one very valuable bottle of water the gourd can't go directly in the fire so i'm having to just surround it with inverse oh it's falling apart no coffee we have coffee but it's not gonna be easy to make our coconut curry later today without our bowl that i burnt to a crisp that is the longest it's ever taken me to make coffee and the end was the most stressful coffee making experience that i've ever had in my life thank you wow it's the strongest coffee i've ever had in my life it is also the most anticipated cup of coffee i've ever had but i currently feel the weakest i've ever felt in my life this probably isn't what i should be drinking but it's all i want i can't do it anymore you look like a two-year-old being force-feed green beans she still hasn't chewed it it is crazy how much our taste buds are changing even things we were eating yesterday like the roasted coconut no one in the group can think about that without gagging a little bit cara hasn't even finished her coffee honestly i just don't want my brain to explode okay now that i have a little bit of an energy boost from my coffee i thought i'd give you a full tour of our camp starting with our shelter it's not quite waterproof we're calling it water resistant but it's enough and most importantly i think it's a good shelter from coconuts that are falling so knowing that i can sleep in a coconut wouldn't hit me directly in the head helps me relax a little bit more i wouldn't say that our bed is comfy when the crabs are moving around it's just so much louder which is also kind of a good thing because then i know they're coming and i can sit up and shoot them away speaking of crabs my crab fence that i made out of plastic bottles that i found on the beach i don't know if it did anything at all i can confirm that it did nothing at all i think the crabs were worse last night than they were the first night they dig these little holes like that's a crab hole that's a crab hole crab hole gravel crab hole no telling how many of these are under our bed it's not their fault but i do resent them at this point because they got into my coffee bag they ate nate's homemade fishing line and they keep me up all night okay moving on over here we have our fire pit at nate and destiny with their own two hands this is a very multi-purpose area it's like the sit-down area on these little flat benches that we brought over here up here above the fire is a great quick drying place because you have the heat and the breeze and things up here dry in like five minutes throughout the day we'll all grab some firewood and we've been storing it over here in these nice little piles that dusty's made for us here in the middle of the living area we have a coffee table made out of this bucket that washed up on the beach underneath the bucket we're keeping some of our fire starting supplies just in case it rains we want to keep this nice and dry this is the coconut that almost knocked me out last night we were just sitting here enjoying the fire we heard the branches we heard it breaking and we all just went like this and it fell right in the middle of the fire very dramatic sparks flew and missed us all just by a few feet very scary this is the view we get to go to sleep and wake up to every day but we've just been so focused on surviving that we haven't taken it in enough moving on to the kitchen first aid kit just in case we've created a little makeshift kitchen table right here using a piece of foam we found on the beach here we have our fishing hooks chopsticks we made out of hibiscus leaves whoa our coffee our bowls the coconut cream mancera made and all the water that we caught yesterday is just sitting right here in front of the kitchen table we are down to one half half quarter we're pretty much down to two full bottles of water to last us the rest of the day which i think is enough this area is what we're calling the workbench it's kind of like the garage we have this stump that we've sharpened to open the coconuts right here and this is where we can kind of assemble things these are all of our coconuts that we've chopped open we're not very tidy here on the island we just kind of throw things down when we're done here we have another clothesline that we've made out of hibiscus tree bark if you follow me down to the sea i'll show you where our bathroom is i don't know about everybody else but i've been using this little nook as my bathroom nice little private area and no doubt the best view i've ever had from the potty also since we're not eating very much we're not having to deal with number twos very much as you can imagine hibiscus sleeves make great natural toilet paper feels very natural i really enjoy it behind me is where nate and jessie have been fishing every day so the beach just kind of turns into rock right here and you can follow it all the way around this peninsula and last but not least we have the world's largest saltwater pool like we said before this survival challenge was full of highs and lows and we realized that we were a lot better at capturing the high moments than the low ones at this point i had half a coconut of espresso coursing through my blood and i was able to really turn it on for the camera however just before this simply walking to the beach to use the potty would make my heart pound i'd have to sit down and catch my breath before walking just 30 steps back to the camp so even though it's a little hard to tell for every cheerful moment you see just know there was also a low moment or at least a nap for lunch today we're gonna attempt to make a coconut fish curry basically fish in coconut milk yesterday sarah and i made this beautiful creamy coconut cream so that mixed with the little rain water makes more of a coconut milk so we're gonna pour that in this bowl i'm gonna pour the rain water in our milk jug just to make sure we get every last bit we worked hard for this coconut cream that looks really good now we're gonna heat up our coconut milk on the fire and that's gonna be our broth so dusty and i went out fishing early this morning and we caught these two little guys they've been cleaned and gutted on the inside so i'm just wrapping it in two leaves and then i've just cut some strips of the hibiscus bark i'm just gonna wrap it around and tie it up and now we're gonna throw these on the fire to fully cook before adding them to the broth the leaf is stuck to his skin got to try a little piece of this by itself oh it's still good it's unfair because if i chewed on this chopstick long enough it might taste good oh my goodness we almost died oh my gosh again oh my gosh bowling ball feeling and weighted thing just fell out of the tree straight onto our bed this island is safe in so many ways but also deadly in a couple ways like getting hit in the head with a coconut there's also the deadliest tree in the world just a few hundred meters down the beach it begins by being delicious and you go i'm loving this and then it gets peppery and you start to feel tingling and your throat can close and you can asphyxiate as a final touch we're adding just a few of these little island succulents they're very salty and just have a little bit of crunch to them kind of like a snap pea just makes this curry feel extra fancy okay first bite oh my gosh that literally just melted in my mouth man today's a good day coffee and curry we're definitely thriving [Applause] i think in my everyday life i would actually love this but because i've had so much coconut i'm just gonna stick with a plain fish something about the smell and tasty coconut gives me a little bit of a gag reflex i might be over coconut too so it's all mine man this is my day you see the little teeth on this guy wow eating and digesting takes a lot of water in your body so if you are dehydrated and then you eat you're even more dehydrated so we were told if we weren't drinking enough water throughout the day then we probably shouldn't eat either what's crazy is we've been thirsty more than we've been hungry so i think our bodies naturally know not to give us those hunger pains because we need water more than we need food we also learned that fat takes the most water in your body to digest and coconut is pretty much all fat it makes sense that we're over it we're just standing here brushing our teeth and realize that we have no idea what day of the week it is not a clue and then brushing our teeth with this stick almost feels normal at this point bling it's amazing to me that you haven't properly eaten or drank in three days and you're still worried about the shot being cooked we had a super restful afternoon there were a lot of naps taken and there was also a lot of jewelry made i made a bracelet and we have mounting necklaces it might not look like much but the fact that you can make rope this small using the bark of a tree like i hand wove this entire necklace this was a fun way to pass the time this afternoon without it spending too much energy can you hear that plane it's so weird when you live away from like city noise how loud a plane is going overhead i never recognize a plane going overhead in normal everyday life but here i'm like ah what is that machine today we thrived we marked off all three things on our to-do list and i feel like i still have a little extra energy left over weirdly enough i think all four of us feel the best we felt this evening but it almost feels like our bodies are kind of getting used to it there's literally no food unless i go physically get it i was gonna say our only two options are coconut and fish actually that is incorrect even though we pretty much only ate coconut and fish there were several other food options on the island including a noni tree aka starvation fruit which is actually a superfood but we weren't starving yet however all of these things were on the opposite side of the island and walking even a hundred yards literally felt equivalent to running a marathon in the sahara desert so as crazy as it sounds we just didn't have the energy plus in a weird way our bodies just didn't want food i'm very proud of us and i'm very grateful that you've done this with me it really is a life-changing experience in every way i'll never be the same i feel like anything we have words are kind of hard right now i feel like anything we do after this is gonna feel easy yeah that and just appreciating every little luxury as small as a toothbrush or deodorant and then like all the food we have access to all the running water and trash oh my gosh i'm never using a plastic bottle again i think the biggest difference between what we've experienced here and the survival shows that i used to watch as a kid is when i was watching on tv i was like oh i'd be building all this stuff i was thinking about all the things i would do but then when we got here we started doing it i realized you just have no energy to do these things it's this constant game of anything i want to build do or eat how much energy is that going to take okay now all we have to do is sleep one more night with the crabs and then the boat comes to pick us up at 8 am the sunset's so bittersweet because it's like oh wow oh it's so beautiful and it's not hot i literally can't see anything for the rest of the night and i have to get in bed with crabs and then you just hear them [Music] okay i'm about to turn a light on to see how many crabs are in our bed one two three get out of here out get out there's a lay in there under the leaves and i see you now i'd like you to leave get out out no not under my pillow our rescue boat arrives in 30 minutes somehow it didn't rain all of last night as soon as we got out of bed this morning get me off this island i can't believe it's over i'm not sure that we did a great job of capturing it but standing there in the rain we all agreed this was the hardest thing we had ever done but knowing the boat would arrive any minute kept our spirits high even after being out here for a full three days it's still hard for me to fathom what it would be like in a real survival situation where there was no timeline or even a guarantee that rescue was coming the boat ended up being 15 minutes late due to the heavy rain and even that short amount of time felt like an eternity a boat engine has never sounded more beautiful it's so beautiful oh we did it we survived we did your dream is it a dream come true yeah dream come true that i never want to have again there you go team nice work guys i appreciate it wait daddy you're on the boat i've never been so happy to see this boat oh it's so hard let's go to civilization if you've enjoyed these last two videos and you want to try it for yourself we've left a link for desert island survival in the description below as

Are they auditioning for fake reality TV shows like Survivor or Naked and Afraid?
