Man I’ve watched RUclips fulltime for some 10+ years. And it is not often I have found such a masterpiece of storytelling, cinematics and adventure in one single video. Simply marvellous!
What a fantastic, informative and insightful doco. This guy is a real hero. The Aboriginal people who saved the 2 Germans were heroes too. Bravo to the Aboriginal community for allowing this filming and granting permits to be on their land. Your country is awesome.
shoutout to the True North crew for offering sustenance. it's the Kimberley way to check in and offer what you have, to whoever, even when you reckon someone is absolutely fine, and i've been lucky enough to receive such genuine kindness on many occasions. such a magnificent part of the world, for so many reasons.
After watching thousands of nature and survival videos, I feel this is one of the best survival films I have watched. Some people with camera and support team can’t do the same job. Kiddos 👏 and keep doing the amazing work.
I lived in Kununurra in the early 90s ,Built a humpy on the banks of the Ord river where I lived for 18 months. Made a spectacular trip to Kalumbru in an old Holden with my mate. The old landing strips from WW2 in the bush. One place had hundreds of 44 gallon drums with USMC stenciled on them. The first mission ,crocks and Barra. Really is a land made for adventure. Brought back a lot of great memories. You can gain and lose many things during the course of a life time. But the memory of an adventure is a precious place to be able to visit. Really enjoyed the video.
Wow , what an amazing re-construction of a historic event , if not redesigned to ensure safety , but also possibly made harder being done alone , .. Incredible photography and great narration , thank you and congratulations on your feat , quite an achievement..wishing you luck with your future endeavours.. Much respect for your acknowledgement of the local Aboriginal owners of the land and their involvement in saving those men ..
Amazing story of history As an American that was hands down, one of the best history lessons I've ever seen or heard. Thank you for sharing this with us all. And many more thanks to the Aboriginal people for allowing this. Their huge hearts and extremely kind ways are truly amazing. My step-Mum is from Australia so this touches in so many more ways than most. God bless 🙌 🙏
Thank you for sharing this remarkable historic recreation, filming such beautiful scenery off our own country... Also, a fantastic job, expertly done cinematography, documentation and narrating this adventure, it is truly remarkable what you have achieved... Congratulations...
Australia is such a a beautiful country, and the awsome accent doesn't hurt either. Thank you for taking me on your survival journey. God Bless you and all of Australia.
This is by far one of the most tasteful and respectful productions on RUclips. What an epic adventure. Thanks for showing a South African a part of the world I would otherwise never have had the chance or privilege to see.
Kudos to this author; firstly for showing respect to the Aboriginal people whose land he traversed and, secondly, for his discipline and adventure. A great video to watch.
I have been through the kimberley region, and including wyndom. It is truly amazing, almost like land that time forgot. It's a harsh but spectacular and beautiful place. The fate of the navigators was remarkable. This film honours their plight and that of the precious land and local people. I have watched this and not blinked 😂 Thank you for your endurance and commitment to this film making. Thank you for showing and sharing 100% respect 🙏🏻 from 🇬🇧
A truly magnificent adventure - well done, congratulations and a big 'thankyou' for giving us the chance to come along with you ... albeit without all the uncertainty, suffering and great endurance. Terrific effort mate!
I have always watched RUclips, but this is truly one of the best videos/films I have watched. Your story telling ability is top notch and inspired me to research their story more. Great job! Going to have to watch it again now!
good job! glad you held on....I did as well, thank God my father taught me how to survice, we are Cherokee, and..... Thanks for this beautiful adventure, Have you ever got a buffalo and survived on it, I did, so again thank you... D
This is better than most Hollywood documentaries on human survival stories and is a testament to the two airmen and the aborigines that helped rescue them … all beautifully told … well done 👍
Incredibly well produced and edited. Great music … extremely high caliber. You took us on a soaring journey of wonder and accomplishment. Speaks to something primal and raw inside us all. Well done!
Wow as a person who lives in wyndham and knows the country you have Been too is absolutely mind blown that’s a incredible journey and a massive accomplishment well done and thank you for taking us along your amazing adventure. Really appreciate it ❤️🙌👌🤙🍻
Wish I could turn the volume of the background music down. Sadly it annoys me and makes it hard to hear. Guess I will resort to captions. 13:51 volume of music down!
Didn’t know anything about this story going in. Learned a ton and got a very entertaining video. Phenomenal work, makes me think of how many other insane survival story’s from the past none of us know about!
The journey to the starting point alone is a crazier adventure then most "survival" cannels will ever make. Paired wiht amazing level of detail, editing, filming and effort it alomst hurts to see this vidoe doesnt have more views. Genuenly sould get 10 Mio. views... I hope you will recive the sucess you deserve one day! Defenitely got me subscribing!
Extremely well produced. And thank you for highlighting the kindness and beautiful spirit of the indigenous people. May they forever retain stewardship over this part of Australia.
Cool man very unique to retrace the steps of Aviators. Its truly amazing to see what someone can accomplish out there knowing that most within the first few days would die from dehydration. I have to say that guy with this boat offering you food and stuff knowing he had heard you were out there was kinda wrong for that knowing you hadn't seen real food in days and were trying to accurately recreate their journey. For you to turn him down flat out immediately when he offered knowing how hungry you had been took a lot in you and showed great resilience and for that I say you deserve respect for.
The editing, the music, the voiceover, the flashbacks, the seriousness, the goofs. Easily one of the best long format RUclips videos I’ve seen. Love the content brother
I must be living in the outback.....self tracking drones, tiny moving cameras etc.....blown away at this quality.....Going to binge everything on your channel!!!!!
Thanks mate for letting me live vicariously one of the great adventures I've always dreamed of doing but will not be able to do. And God bless the wonderful aboriginal people, their land, their history, their future and their boundless kindness.
This deserves so much more attention, views and likes. The production quality is AMAZING. I sat the full hour and watched every second, it was just incredible. One of the best documentary films I’ve watched, well done.😊
This was so respectfully done, not just in homage to the Germans and Aboriginals who found them but more down to the fact that you asked permission to access the land. Brilliant piece and well put together 👏
Sitting in the comfort of home after a hearty meal and watching this this video and the effort required to not only make, it but film it even more amazing
so true! I constantly need air conditioning if it gets a little warm. And it just seems like there is always something trying to ki11 you in Australia.
Australia is relatively safe compared to so many places the only large predator is crocodiles and thats only in the top of Australia it's a very small portion of Australia people from other countries always say how deadly everything is its so dumb what about Africa go for a walk at night by yourself so many animals can eat you in Australia there is just snakes which hardly ever kill people
Looks like a cool video but the commentary is just way too hard to hear. For future productions I'd recommend turning down the background music a lot! And less compression on the narration track!
Did not notice this at all. Perfect balance for me. How did you watch it? Like what kind of a setup? I notice you've gotten some likes on this post so there must be others that also experienced trouble
I'm really struggling to understand anything that's said too. It's particularly bad on my TV. All speech totally drowned out by the overbearing music. Shame, it looks like an interesting doco, it's just not watchable for me. I hoped the music would stop but appears it doesn't.
Amazing video! alot of courage to put yourself out there as those pilots were and film the whole thing alone. cant say many survivalists would willingly endure that! well done mate
I saw you on Alone Australia/NZ. I swear it's you. Did an incredible job, gotten taken off the job against your wishes. Hats off to you sir. I love these kinds of videos
No gimmicks, no drama, no click-bait, no nonsense. Just a guy testing himself and making a massive effort to share with everyone else for the pure purpose of doing and sharing. You can feel the commitment and the love for his project. More of this everywhere. Least I can do is subscribe.
Wow, you pour so much of your heart and soul into these videos. Wish you all the best in life, and hope you remain safe out there. As some one that grew up watching Survivorman, man vs wild and spent a few years in the army myself, I really enjoyed this. Really hope your channel blows up.
I'm only 20mins in and i can already tell you that i'm giving you a like and a sub and i'm definately going to watch the rest now in 1 sitting. Beautifully made video, also the funny parts in between are great to take a tiny moment away from the seriousness of the video. Nice effort and really really good, informative, great video and production, absolutely love it.👍😊
I am ever grateful that you showed us this! Amazing camera work and thanks for leaving such a detailed description of the Pilots journey and your own - backstory was so great!
Absolutely amazing mate. You told the story so well. I love living in remote Northern Australia, you just hear of so many amazing stories, such as this one.
‘Really found this very emotional watching this. I found your doco really interesting. I have the upmost respect for you too mate for doing this. I hope you feel proud of yourself for completing your mission. I hope you got a nice big meal and hot shower! I did enjoy the commentary. Thankyou!! 😊
You remind me so much of the original bushtucker man Les Hiddens. I love that you give a bit of history about the places that you are exploring. One of the biggest things that stands out for me, is the fact that you refused to take the food on offer…staying true to your mission. May the wind fill your sails, and the sun light your way.
I REALLY enjoyed watching this documentary. What an amazing journey, and Mikes aptitude, great attitude and humor really aided him in getting to the end successfully.
I love the translation of the Aboriginal People's viewpoint of life... and the value they place on EVERY living thing. They're older than the Buddhists and just as nice. This was a great hour of my time... Thanks, Mike. You are a remarkable human being to "show & tell" us that History lesson.
Amazing the best thing I've ever seen- I'm going to watch this with my wife who doesn't wach anything but will surely enjoy this Amazing guy & his endurance.

What a fantastic, informative and insightful doco. This guy is a real hero. The Aboriginal people who saved the 2 Germans were heroes too. Bravo to the Aboriginal community for allowing this filming and granting permits to be on their land. Your country is awesome.
this is one of the best survival videos I have ever seen....absolutely amazing...i would have watched this for hours if it was longer
While I enjoyed it too there wasn't much "survival" content in here.

For the Algorithm so more people can enjoy this one.😅
Thank you
You brought me here
New here looks absolutely intriguing and beautiful scenery!
Derp🥴

It’s one thing to do this alone, it’s another to do it alone and film it with this high level of quality. WELL DONE 😊😊

God bless you too 🙏
Thank you for such kind words ✌️
Thank you 💕😊 you too
Australian accent is not easily understandable for non English speakers
Love everything about Australia.... can't bare the accent sorry!!
- Well said my friend! Love from The USA 🇺🇸 ❤
This is by far one of the most tasteful and respectful productions on RUclips. What an epic adventure. Thanks for showing a South African a part of the world I would otherwise never have had the chance or privilege to see.

indeed but still a great video!!

Portland, OR, USA checkin in! Love the vid. Subbed.

mate that was tops. I'm really impressed by how you managed to film it all. Surviving is tiring but filming it all must've been back breaking.
This is by far the best survival doco film on RUclips! What a great survival story!
this man has balls bigger than anyone alive to do this without a satellite phone. Honestly props to you completely for this masterpiece!
Cool man very unique to retrace the steps of Aviators. Its truly amazing to see what someone can accomplish out there knowing that most within the first few days would die from dehydration.

I must be living in the outback.....self tracking drones, tiny moving cameras etc.....blown away at this quality.....Going to binge everything on your channel!!!!!
One of the best videos on the internet
I was about to say the same thing
Then you realise he's not even in the outback 🙄
He put on a good show either way
Guy is a fraud
💯 enjoyed it.
Thanks mate for letting me live vicariously one of the great adventures I've always dreamed of doing but will not be able to do. And God bless the wonderful aboriginal people, their land, their history, their future and their boundless kindness.
One of the best I've watched . Hope you do more.
What an incredible adventure and also a masterpiece of cinematography.
So enjoyed this.
Thank you for sharing.
It’s called money with a drone. It’s easy
@@brendonaldson8056 Off you go then. Give me a shout when you have produced your masterpiece.
Big respect .....one of the most genuine survival videos i have seen...Thank you. David from England UK.
This deserves so much more attention, views and likes. The production quality is AMAZING. I sat the full hour and watched every second, it was just incredible. One of the best documentary films I’ve watched, well done.😊
why its just like les stroud survivor man he isn't doing anything new
Best video I've seen on RUclips in years. Your country is absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing your adventure with us.
This was so respectfully done, not just in homage to the Germans and Aboriginals who found them but more down to the fact that you asked permission to access the land. Brilliant piece and well put together 👏
LOVE the respect you showed and taught. Amazing to chill on my sofa and watch 🤟
- 27:07 That is where back 2 basics video people went. There was a skull && bones in the cave 💀 .. *Great video bro!* so glad you made it out alive.
Sitting in the comfort of home after a hearty meal and watching this this video and the effort required to not only make, it but film it even more amazing
The natives of this land must be incredibly strong and intelligent to be able to survive and thrive is such an inhabitable place. ❤
so true! I constantly need air conditioning if it gets a little warm. And it just seems like there is always something trying to ki11 you in Australia.
@@Dan-xx5jq Our biggest threats to life are the ones you can't see , And the sun does more damage to people here than animals . ✌️

Sounded fine to me.
It sounds good on my phone, but it was pretty bad with my earbuds
I wish creators just added the song on the video and we could mix it how we want.
Thanks for sharing your love of history , a people and a country. Unecpected gem indeed.
I'm not sure how that raft managed to support the weight of this mans STEEL BALLS.
😂 true
Amazing video! alot of courage to put yourself out there as those pilots were and film the whole thing alone. cant say many survivalists would willingly endure that! well done mate
An incredible achievement. Amazing footage ❤❤❤❤
Loved this, love our First Nations people. Love this land. 🖤 💛❤ 🇦🇺
This is easily one of the coolest things I’ve watched on RUclips.
The noisy Background Sound is sooo loud, that it is really difficult to understand the voiceover...
It gets better after the first ten minutes. So loud at first. Great documentary and story thou, worth it 👍
Booohoooo
I saw you on Alone Australia/NZ. I swear it's you. Did an incredible job, gotten taken off the job against your wishes. Hats off to you sir. I love these kinds of videos

I love it, dude. Do you think the engine problems could have been that cover over it, not enough air flow?
Crazy adventure! very impressive to solo film this whole thing as well.

Upload a version without music please? Too hard to understand :D
Rather they need to reduce the sound.
Music is just a little too high.
Mate, I lived up there for a long time. You've got big balls going out there on that raft alone. Bravo on a great story and great cinematography.
music is abit loud mate
Good work, I'm enjoying this channel
Wonderful movie. In days when short style videos are the norm, to be caught up for an hour...
Was my pleasure. Thanks for a great piece of work.
Beautiful country.Really enjoyed this video and the story of the aviators.THANKS
Amazing the best thing I've ever seen- I'm going to watch this with my wife who doesn't wach anything but will surely enjoy this Amazing guy & his endurance.
Thank you for letting me see the real beauty of your life and country!
One of the best survival documentaries I've ever seen. And all by one man. Amazing
Great story, but background music makes it really difficult to hear your commentary
Not really
The discoveries about yourself & what's at the heart of the Australian people is beautifully presented👏🌹
Music is way too loud.
What an amazing documentary and what an amazing story. One of the best things I have ever watched on youtube.
