Seriously, I've tried to explain the importance in survival situations of vitamins and minerals etc. I read once where a man survived 90 days at sea. He had cans of water. But he started craving various organs and parts of the fish he'd catch such as eyes and liver. Somehow his mind told his body what to eat. He survived. Listen to your body.
Liver is typically a tissue filled with many dangerous substances undergoing various processes of biological breakdown. In other words, an awful gamble to make if you're going to eat liver, especially when in a weakened condition.
@@guyman1570 while this is true for some animals, such as polar bears where they’re liver is so vitamin filled you’ll actually overdose on vitamins from eating it, it’s generally not the case with fish. Just about every fish organ is safe and edible (with very few exceptions like pufferfish as the video mentioned) and you should absolutely eat them if starving on a desert island. There’s vitamins and nutrients in organs that aren’t in the meat and they’ll help keep you alive. You just need to make sure they’re thoroughly cooked first, same as regular fish fillets
2 things: once I eat only rice for 45+ days. I got sick... looked sick and started to develop infections from nowhere. once I eat a unknown tree nut, very tasty. 30 minutes later my sense of smell was boosted to 300%. 15 minutes more I was vomiting like a rocket engine. A couple more moments later I was also shitting myself. No toilet paper, just leaves with allergic compounds. Very nice experience.
@@hoti47 almost that... I was camping and miscalculated the amount of food needed for the time I would stay. I had to experiment with local plants. Plants rarely do you any real harm, but mushrooms are much worse. I don't know how I'm still alive, it was a lot of luck.
I was marooned on a desert island last week and after setting up a signal fire I was able to get broadband. After that I made a simple computer from coconut shells and sea anemones powered by jellyfish. I came across this video on you tube, it gave me so many ideas on how to survive I could have lived quite comfortably for who knows how many weeks. I was actually in the process of installing solar panels made from very thin sheets of volcanic glass and palm leaves when a passing ship noticed the 10 metre seawalls I'd been building around the island as part of a futureproofing initiative for the rising sea levels. They came ashore and found me, thank god.

A thing I heard about the plant testing thing - do all of these to a boiled plant. Boiling makes plants safer, so it might ensure that you don't discard a plant that's edible when cooked.
@@uDaniels they end up in the water you used to boil them, and you can always take the safe-when-boiled plant and test it again for if it's safe when uncooked Edit: well, some nutrients do decompose under heat.
One of the first things i would do is make or obtain a sturdy walking staff. You can probe ahead in water, or on land. You can prevent slips and falls. Can be used for minor protection against critters.
This is an awesome video! A few minor nits - The zebrafish you must be wary of are of the genus Pterois, not those Danio rerio sold in pet stores you had pictured. - Crab lungs aren't poisonous, just gross.
Yep, I noticed these small errors as well. Additionally, the edible part of the sea urchin is actually its reproductive organ (despite sometimes being called sea urchin roe). Really enjoyed the video overall, learned a lot of things in the off-chance I randomly wake up on a deserted island one day.
Another reason to avoid using rocks as a cooking surface is that, depending on the type of stone and its physical properties, you run the risk of the rock cracking open violently or even exploding due to heat expansion. Another thing to note is that, you can avoid destroying wooden containers while using them to cook via boiling over a fire by ensuring the flames do not rise above the water level inside the container. The water will conduct the heat out of the container faster than it can burn this way. Besides using bamboo, wooden containers can be constructed using strips of inner tree bark either sown or folded together to make rudimentary cups and bowls (think of something like a Chinese take-out box, or a pocket-shapped sown container for inspiration).
Avoid them as cooking surfaces? Yes, but why would you... Avoid the completely? No, heating rocks to throw into water to boil it is extremely useful. Of course might require testing so they don't explode, but generally safe, especially those you find by the sea
An important note with fire bows/plows: the wood you're working to get your powder is an important ingredient, not all wood is created equally. You need a very dry wood with relatively small grains. If you are having little luck with your current piece, it can be wise to find a different type of wood rather than wearing yourself out trying to work wood thats unsuitable
Survival is easy 1. Punch a rock about 50 times to collect 10 "stone" 2. Collect 75 grass and then craft into "basic twine" 3. Punch a tree till it falls over, now collect 10 stick. Now combine all 3 items for "stone axe" Youre pretty much there.
13:14 you can also put cloth clothing like a shirt wrapped around a stick over the boiling vessel to capture distilled steam to wring off as extra clean water. Reduces your net loss from boiling.
"The beach is dangerous! The sun will give you sun poisoning" and "avoid the sun!" In flashing text with this video style really gives me analogue horror vibes
@@Thetarget1also less wild fruits and fish. I was looking out into the woods and realized, it's much easier to catch tropical fish then to hunt small animals in a pine forrest
I'd like to see this too! Mountainous, forested, swamplands, desert and probably most helpful would be urban areas of different climates. Because let's face it, a MFer ending up homeless is a bigger threat than anything else these days.
i really love this channel i can’t express how much i love everything, the visuals the narration the throughly researched info i can’t express how calming yet attention grabbing this channel is
I really appreciate your soft and gentle speaking, it's so nice to hear, and allows me to get into the story you are telling. It's a pleasant contrast to the crowd. Thank you for being you :) p.s. Your choice of music in addition to your voice creates a soothing hypnotic state.
Part of me now worries that watching this has included me in a horror movie esk scenario where I am now a candidate to be captured during my sleep, made unconscious and dropped onto a dessert island filled with hidden cameras in an experiment to see how far my knowledge of this video alone can be used to survive there haha
approved currently in seychelles, where the climate is quite tropical - i do not want to traverse on a hike and go to reach blindly for a tree trunk to move myself more efficiently, on the off chance i touch some goop or a snail
Bamboo fact : 1. The surface has a lot of mini sharp hairs that can cause skin irritation. (very annoying and quite hard to get rid) you should clean it before processing 2. Unsplitted bamboo is basically a continuous chamber separated by joints, so it'll explode if you burn it 3. Some bamboo chamber can contain water or larva inside ( I live in tropical country)
Thank you so much. Im currently stuck on a deserted island with no internet or electricity. All i have is this video on a piece of parchment. Thank you!
In Denmark, there is a show called Øen(The Island) where 14 people go to an island in Panama and have to survive for 30 days. A lot of these tips are demonstrated in the show. It's worth watching if you cancfind it with english subtitles. Btw, crab lungs arent toxic. They just taste really bad. Great vid.
Quick word from a Marine Ecologist. If digging through the sand for edibles avoid polychaetes (bristle worms) unless you know what you are looking at. Yes, some like the Palolo Worm are edible, but most are not. You really need to be absolutely sure of your identification. That does not make them useless however, while they may be inedible for you they make great bait for catching fish or crustaceans, either on hook or in traps, and they can be dug up with relatively little effort. Certainly less effort than it would take to catch bait fish. What you are really looking for though are various bivalves such as clams. Almost all of these are edible, but always make sure the shells are firmly shut before cooking them. If they are slightly open then discard them as you would mussels. Healthy bivalves will close up if they feel threatened. Virtually all limpets are also edible, you need to knock them off the rock in one swift move, if you give them enough time to settle onto the rock, especially if they are on their home scar, they are damned near impossible to prise off. Its best to catch them as the tide is going out, when they are grazing. Don't even bother trying when the tide is out and they are settled on their home scar, it would be almost as easy just breaking the rock as it would be trying to prise them off it.
This came to me recommended and I have to say, I'm very impressed with the honesty in here. No clickbait, no nothing, just good information. I salute you sir
I don't know if you mentioned it, and I missed it, but SEAWEED is loaded with Vitamin A, B, C, E, antioxidants, and fiber. Most all seaweed is edible, however some species can be hard to digest, but it's everywhere and will be a good addition to the seafood.
If you manage to find a kettle or you made a pot out of clay, or just made a cup out of bamboo, it may be easier to boil water by throwing hot stones into the vessel than trying to boil it normally like you do it on your kitchen.
Also, dried coconut husks from the tree or from the fruit are incredibly useful for fire kindling. Also, coconuts do not have milk in it, it has liquid endosperm i.e. coconut water and hard, jelly-like endosperm. The dried coconut mentioned before hardens the 'coconut endosperm' gives coconut oil when crushed, or can be a high calorie snack if needed. It's a delicious thing, and very useful. Shoutout to coconuts 🔥
I ate a coconut once. When I finally got the damn thing open (it wasn't easy), there was no liquid inside, only a white interior that felt like eating a brick. My teeth hurt for days after I finally finished it, lol.
I have been waterloss minimizing in my day to day life ever since I found this video and now im fitter and happier than I ever was before. I haven’t spoken a word in months, I just nose breathe - competely sober
This is a real work of art, as an editor myself, I do appreciate your style... the type setting and colours, very nicely done. ...A most pleasant escape you have created.
An important thing missing in the burning bamboo thing. Bamboo has pockets that explode and send ash and embers flying. If you only have it to burn make sure you split it first.
What a great and really enjoyable, informative video. I love the relaxing "holiday" music in the background as if describing bring on holidays, not surviving!
If you have plenty of loose rock available, you can also build tidal traps. They're built like a U or a V a few feet across with the open end pointed toward shore. They're basically a small, low wall you build on the part of the beach that becomes exposed at low tide. At high tide, the water overflows the trap, but when the water retreats at low tide they can trap or strand a number of fish in them. They're not super reliable but once built they can be a low-energy means of food gathering.
I’ve always loved the idea that I could survive in extreme conditions. When I found out I needed glasses when I was 10 I thought “damn maybe I wouldn’t have survived a few thousand years ago as a hunter gatherer.”. A few years after that I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and for some reason it’s so hard for me to live with the fact that I couldn’t even survive in some parts of the world today, and nowhere more than 100 years ago.
@@WilhelmFreidrich do you know how to pilot a helicopter? Personally I’d bring my country, so America is just somewhere in the South Pacific instead of where it currently is. Actually this would have its benefits, while being further from Europe is bad we are much closer to east Asia so it opens some nice trade opportunities
I spent a week in the woods with nothing. At the time I was an avid reader. Anyway. The way you survive is slowly. You don’t waste calories by moving fast or making useless movements. So during the day you are busy because there is a lot of little things to do just for comfort and a lot of big things that are needed for life.. But it is when it gets dark if you can’t sleep it is insane how you miss distraction. Any kind of distraction… The first evening as you watch the darkness grow is maddening. Waking up scared and not knowing why while laying in the dark is the worse..
11:30 Do not just smash rocks into the coconut. Thats the fastest way to cut yourself. Use one sharp rock against the coconut, and smash that rock with a piece of wood, or another coconut if there isnt any wood around. Its a bit more awkward to do, but it mostly prevents any injuries.
Get a nice size strong, straight piece of stick about 3ft long. Sharpen both ends. Drive one end onto the ground about a foot deep. The sharp end that is pointing up can tear open a coconut in seconds with a little practice. Can work with green coconuts, but work much better with brown coconuts. If you're not going to climb the tree, you will most likely be harvesting brown coconuts anyway.
@@blackbwayit seems like making a spear is just a good idea in general. Probably not going to have any animals to stab with it on an island, but having a sharp stick is just so versatile
@@georgiykireev9678 A sharp stick is basically another appendage. Primal man has used it for thousands of years and it's basically one of the most simple and effective tools ever invented. Everything from creating levers to spearing or help when climbing. If you're in a survival situation and have a problem, you can probably solve or improve it with a stick. Sticks are just that incredible.
i wasn't expecting this format, i loved it. its also well explained and not rushed as fast as possible like 99% of the videos about anything on youtube, so i actually paid attention and tried to understand what i could.
If there's any chance your desert island is in the Caribbean, you should learn in advance to recognise the manchineel tree. This can kill you just with prolonged contact, even if you don't ingest it.
They can kill you without you even coming into contact with it. You just need to stand under one while it's raining and then your skin will blister from the sap dissolved in the water. And then if the blisters get infected, Bye bye.
I've lived in the Caribbean for most of my life and I don't know this plant in person. I've been seeing it on the internet time after time since the past 8 years. Being searching for it in person, haven't found it yet.
Ah, stonefish! We call them rock puppies in Australia, and they're very common and the reason we like to wear fairly serious footwear in shallow ocean water
Sometimes the infamously enigmatic algorithm hits the Spot. I (therefore 'it' ^^) discovered your channel today and it's causing quite a binge'ish afternoon. Great combination of visuals, topics & nuanced information. Thank you.
Legit stuff to add,;- 1, build a fish stockade trap (some were a mile of more long) between tide lines so any lingering fish are caught when the tide drops without any effort and they can be funneled to another covered pool (for birds) and kept alive for days. 2, rusty rocks may by pyrite and pyrite will spark if stuck with another hard stone. 3, a ring of fresh ashes is a partial deterrent around your "house" for insects and snakes ( I've slept right over a big piles of leaves I burned. Just swept-out a spot in the middle). 4. Eat brains and gonads. They are fat. You won't make it on lean meat as mentioned. Bones are food. Just paste them with a rock in your coconut cup I guess. 5. All polypore (gill-less) shelf mushrooms (no classic stalk) are not poisonous. Some will be wood like. The broth from cooked ones is nutritional no matter how tough they are. Ganaderma is global. 6, split bamboo are used as blades often. Dulls fast but there's more around easy. 7, spit on your cordage when you roll it on the top of your leg with your palm. Old ladies making the first ply for hemp rope chew leaves of something to keep it flowing. 8, rub mud into scales or feathers and coat the animal with a few inches of it and bake in the coals. When you peel ot off it takes the skin and you don't have to scale or pluck. 9. There are several tropical honeybees that are smaller and under leaves instead of in something. There's the only sugar you'll get and a known antibiotic and food preservative.
Get a job at UPS, make a plan to propose to your significant other & then board the doomed aircraft. Maybe go to the dentist before that, just for convenience.
I remember reading the SAS guide again and again as a teenager. I remember the “rub the plant on the inside of your elbow” part, the distilling methods and the shelter types. I’m happy to report that no skill learned from the boos has ever been needed, so far
Love the plant edibility test, I’ve been subconsciously conducting that test on kale and sprouts for years!!! But seriously; thanks to all the crazy people who ate poisonous plants so we could cross them off the list 🤭
I'm still trying to figure out how someone discovered how to make pokeweed edible. You have to boil it, drain it, cool then boil it again, to make it safe to eat, and this is only for the young leaves and stems. So who was it that watched his buddy die eating it raw, then watched another buddy die after boiling it up, and figured "maybe if I boil it a second time?"
I've played Factorio my man. Give me like 8 hours and I'll have a a humvee and rocket ship. Seriously tho nice vid, love the style in addition to the good bullet points from the SAS handbook
its made by nature. they get hit and then fire brakes out. This is to get rid of old trees and shit in woods. Then its growing again. Nature has it all my man
35:10 smoky fires can also be used to slightly preserve foods, just hang your morsels near it and then they'll be stored in a space that bugs generally tend to avoid, and get a bit of potentially tasty smoky flavor. EDIT: as @bwackbeedows3629 pointed out this might not always be safe.
@oxygenenjoyer1712 @esk3let1c05 wasn't quite right, all woods can give off CO when burnt in some conditions, the problem with using some for smoking is that they have poisonous smoke.
@@KarolOfGutovo you could use burning embers and cover the food completely overnight for example, that way it would be too hot for insects to go in and start eating the left over food?
Interesting how abbreviated the SAS version of the universal edibility test is in comparison to the US Army version which takes 24 hours per part of each plant. Essentially, you're going to spend your starvation time trying to find parts of plants you can eat
i mean, as long as you have water and are able to catch fish/animals etc you wont die of nutrient deficiency until after a couple of months, while many plants are extremely toxic and can kill you within minutes. Its probably very dependent on the situation (ie have you been hunting/fishing successfully or do you have to resort to eating plants)
@@checker297 "resort to eating plants"? Let me guess, you don't like vegetables. Seriously, did you watch the video? Plants are an absolute necessity in a long term survival situation. It is impossible to get all of your nutrients from meat or plants alone, you have to eat both. And you can't be eating ANYTHING else during either universal edibility test.
@@jmi967 resort to eating plants within the first days because you're unable to acquire food in any other way for the time being. An unknown plant might be toxic but eating one more quickly may be better than dying of starvation.
More good survival tips: If you see berries or small fruits, NEVER EAT THE SEEDS. The seeds often contain various types of poisons such as cyanide-releasing agents (apples and apricots, for instance), coumarins cause lethal irritation and photosensitivity (the Manchineel has poisonous flesh, bark, and leaves), and many fruit seeds which have the typical neurotoxin. There are certain seeds that are edible after cooking, like the Inga Edulis tree, but this tree doesn’t grow on desert islands. Tubers, like Cassava, need to be soaked in water for at least twenty four hours to remove cyanide. Not doing so would cause cyanide poisoning, or by incomplete soaking, cause a chronic condition known as Konzo. Uncooked tubers can also affect the ability of the body to absorb nutrients.
Is there any chance you could make one but for the mountains or something? I really enjoy listening to your narration, it's very soothing and there's a far higher chance I'd be stranded there than some island in the pacific
We're all chuckling to ourselves because this is relatively useless, but you'll be pissed when you're stuck on an island and remember watching this video, but nothing it told you
Nothing is more useless than a person with no survival skills in a life or death scenario. Things can go bad very quick. Pandemics, world wars, supply chain interruptions, droughts, fires, civil unrest.. Nah, nothing like that could happen.
You actually can survive purely on fish, but you must eat the whole fish, this means cooking/boiling parts of the fish to ensure that they are clean. Fish also need proteins, carbs and nutrients to survive, so they will have them in their bodies.
I know inuit traditionally survived on almost 100% animal diet but from what I understand things like whale blubber and seal fat is very important for this and furthermore, eating it raw at least part of the time. Is their really enough vitamin C ie in fish not to get scurvy? Why then did sailors get it before they started bringing things like lemon juice?
@jonweman6128 when your not consuming carbs your bodies hormones change and you become more efficient at extracting vitamin C from food. As long as you're eating organ meats from fish you'll survive.
Easy. Just find your nearest tree, break it, and then use it to build a crafting table. Break some grass for seeds, make a hoe, and you’re set. Just make sure to build a shelter to avoid mobs at night ✅
@@Laku987654321Find a cave, if there isn’t one you’ll have to go mining. I recommend strip mining as you have access to more surrounding stone.

Plss 😭😭😭
Make sure you're all inclusive while you're there.😒
Start your each day with positive affirmations like "I can do this" 🤗
Another reason to avoid using rocks as a cooking surface is that, depending on the type of stone and its physical properties, you run the risk of the rock cracking open violently or even exploding due to heat expansion.
Another thing to note is that, you can avoid destroying wooden containers while using them to cook via boiling over a fire by ensuring the flames do not rise above the water level inside the container. The water will conduct the heat out of the container faster than it can burn this way. Besides using bamboo, wooden containers can be constructed using strips of inner tree bark either sown or folded together to make rudimentary cups and bowls (think of something like a Chinese take-out box, or a pocket-shapped sown container for inspiration).
Theory, theory and more theory. The practice is easier.
Facts
Gilligan used coconut shells and that's good enough for me.
Also tin foil (provided that this floats up as trash).
Avoid them as cooking surfaces? Yes, but why would you... Avoid the completely? No, heating rocks to throw into water to boil it is extremely useful. Of course might require testing so they don't explode, but generally safe, especially those you find by the sea
An important note with fire bows/plows: the wood you're working to get your powder is an important ingredient, not all wood is created equally. You need a very dry wood with relatively small grains. If you are having little luck with your current piece, it can be wise to find a different type of wood rather than wearing yourself out trying to work wood thats unsuitable
Survival is easy
1. Punch a rock about 50 times to collect 10 "stone"
2. Collect 75 grass and then craft into "basic twine"
3. Punch a tree till it falls over, now collect 10 stick.
Now combine all 3 items for "stone axe"
Youre pretty much there.
13:14 you can also put cloth clothing like a shirt wrapped around a stick over the boiling vessel to capture distilled steam to wring off as extra clean water. Reduces your net loss from boiling.

"The beach is dangerous!

Ah yes my favorite analogue horror... Reality!
Could you make one for other climates? I think it would be cool to see how they compare
yeah it'd be cool to get this for a temperate/european climate, i wonder if its as dangerous as in the tropics
Deserts would amazing. However, I think nautical knowledge is Horses' specialty.
@@iwvks It´s considerably tougher, as you have the same dangers as the tropics + you´re constantly in danger of freezing to death.
@@Thetarget1also less wild fruits and fish. I was looking out into the woods and realized, it's much easier to catch tropical fish then to hunt small animals in a pine forrest
I'd like to see this too! Mountainous, forested, swamplands, desert and probably most helpful would be urban areas of different climates. Because let's face it, a MFer ending up homeless is a bigger threat than anything else these days.
i really love this channel i can’t express how much i love everything, the visuals the narration the throughly researched info i can’t express how calming yet attention grabbing this channel is
I really appreciate your soft and gentle speaking, it's so nice to hear, and allows me to get into the story you are telling. It's a pleasant contrast to the crowd. Thank you for being you :) p.s. Your choice of music in addition to your voice creates a soothing hypnotic state.
Part of me now worries that watching this has included me in a horror movie esk scenario where I am now a candidate to be captured during my sleep, made unconscious and dropped onto a dessert island filled with hidden cameras in an experiment to see how far my knowledge of this video alone can be used to survive there haha

Pro tip for moving in jungle environments: don’t touch a surface you can’t see.
approved
currently in seychelles, where the climate is quite tropical - i do not want to traverse on a hike and go to reach blindly for a tree trunk to move myself more efficiently, on the off chance i touch some goop or a snail
That's pretty good advice in general.
Step on a sharp creature with bare feet in the water while fishing. You will regret it bigly.
Brings me back to when I studied the SAS handbook as a twelve year old, preparing for inevitable disaster. Love it
Same here😂 I remember convincing my parents to buy a box full of canned food and supplies
Bamboo fact :
1. The surface has a lot of mini sharp hairs that can cause skin irritation. (very annoying and quite hard to get rid) you should clean it before processing
2. Unsplitted bamboo is basically a continuous chamber separated by joints, so it'll explode if you burn it
3. Some bamboo chamber can contain water or larva inside
( I live in tropical country)
How do you easiest remove the mini hairs without tools?
Thank you so much. Im currently stuck on a deserted island with no internet or electricity. All i have is this video on a piece of parchment. Thank you!
In Denmark, there is a show called Øen(The Island) where 14 people go to an island in Panama and have to survive for 30 days. A lot of these tips are demonstrated in the show. It's worth watching if you cancfind it with english subtitles.
Btw, crab lungs arent toxic. They just taste really bad.
Great vid.
Yea they're called Deadman where I'm from
@@josephjohnson6849 They are not toxic, but they are also not digestible, and they taste horrible.

Quick word from a Marine Ecologist. If digging through the sand for edibles avoid polychaetes (bristle worms) unless you know what you are looking at. Yes, some like the Palolo Worm are edible, but most are not. You really need to be absolutely sure of your identification.
That does not make them useless however, while they may be inedible for you they make great bait for catching fish or crustaceans, either on hook or in traps, and they can be dug up with relatively little effort. Certainly less effort than it would take to catch bait fish.
What you are really looking for though are various bivalves such as clams. Almost all of these are edible, but always make sure the shells are firmly shut before cooking them. If they are slightly open then discard them as you would mussels. Healthy bivalves will close up if they feel threatened.
Virtually all limpets are also edible, you need to knock them off the rock in one swift move, if you give them enough time to settle onto the rock, especially if they are on their home scar, they are damned near impossible to prise off. Its best to catch them as the tide is going out, when they are grazing. Don't even bother trying when the tide is out and they are settled on their home scar, it would be almost as easy just breaking the rock as it would be trying to prise them off it.
This came to me recommended and I have to say, I'm very impressed with the honesty in here. No clickbait, no nothing, just good information. I salute you sir
Using 4:47 to 6:44 as my morning motivation ritual. It's the right mix of surreal, calming, and powerful. Very life affirming. 10/10 would recommend.
I don't know if you mentioned it, and I missed it, but SEAWEED is loaded with Vitamin A, B, C, E, antioxidants, and fiber. Most all seaweed is edible, however some species can be hard to digest, but it's everywhere and will be a good addition to the seafood.
This video is so soothing to me. It makes me feel that even if I was stranded on a desert island, everything will be fine.
just remember, if you skip eating plants, you WILL die!
Thank you for making a retro looking video that actually looks retro. It's usually overdone, but this one is done perfectly.

If you manage to find a kettle or you made a pot out of clay, or just made a cup out of bamboo, it may be easier to boil water by throwing hot stones into the vessel than trying to boil it normally like you do it on your kitchen.
When you are in a deserted island, first thing to do is to connect to a Wi-Fi network and watch this video 😂🥁
Also, dried coconut husks from the tree or from the fruit are incredibly useful for fire kindling. Also, coconuts do not have milk in it, it has liquid endosperm i.e. coconut water and hard, jelly-like endosperm. The dried coconut mentioned before hardens the 'coconut endosperm' gives coconut oil when crushed, or can be a high calorie snack if needed. It's a delicious thing, and very useful. Shoutout to coconuts 🔥
grating the meat of a mature coconut and pressed will give you coconut milk.
It's both. It's a regional thing. the liquid is either called water or milk depending where you live.
I ate a coconut once. When I finally got the damn thing open (it wasn't easy), there was no liquid inside, only a white interior that felt like eating a brick. My teeth hurt for days after I finally finished it, lol.

An important thing missing in the burning bamboo thing. Bamboo has pockets that explode and send ash and embers flying. If you only have it to burn make sure you split it first.
I absolutely love this video! The information is delivered so well and feels rightly paced, as well as the whole visual aspect I CANT GET ENOUGH OF IT
What a great and really enjoyable, informative video.
I love the relaxing "holiday" music in the background as if describing bring on holidays, not surviving!
If you have plenty of loose rock available, you can also build tidal traps. They're built like a U or a V a few feet across with the open end pointed toward shore. They're basically a small, low wall you build on the part of the beach that becomes exposed at low tide. At high tide, the water overflows the trap, but when the water retreats at low tide they can trap or strand a number of fish in them. They're not super reliable but once built they can be a low-energy means of food gathering.
I’ve always loved the idea that I could survive in extreme conditions. When I found out I needed glasses when I was 10 I thought “damn maybe I wouldn’t have survived a few thousand years ago as a hunter gatherer.”. A few years after that I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and for some reason it’s so hard for me to live with the fact that I couldn’t even survive in some parts of the world today, and nowhere more than 100 years ago.
You would survive, the fact you are thinking about it gives you an edge ❤

Love this video but it made me realize that I'm not getting nearly enough nutrition as someone who's NOT stranded on an island
I was thinking the same thing.
Yea same I don't eat enough fruits.
Honestly this is a great video I don’t care about the subject but the format is so perfect thanks man
With my short attention span, I think being alone like this would kill me fast
I spent a week in the woods with nothing. At the time I was an avid reader.
Anyway. The way you survive is slowly. You don’t waste calories by moving fast or making useless movements. So during the day you are busy because there is a lot of little things to do just for comfort and a lot of big things that are needed for life..
But it is when it gets dark if you can’t sleep it is insane how you miss distraction. Any kind of distraction…
The first evening as you watch the darkness grow is maddening. Waking up scared and not knowing why while laying in the dark is the worse..
11:30 Do not just smash rocks into the coconut. Thats the fastest way to cut yourself. Use one sharp rock against the coconut, and smash that rock with a piece of wood, or another coconut if there isnt any wood around. Its a bit more awkward to do, but it mostly prevents any injuries.
Get a nice size strong, straight piece of stick about 3ft long. Sharpen both ends. Drive one end onto the ground about a foot deep. The sharp end that is pointing up can tear open a coconut in seconds with a little practice.
Can work with green coconuts, but work much better with brown coconuts.
If you're not going to climb the tree, you will most likely be harvesting brown coconuts anyway.
@@blackbwayit seems like making a spear is just a good idea in general. Probably not going to have any animals to stab with it on an island, but having a sharp stick is just so versatile
@@georgiykireev9678 Whenever I see sharp thing my monkey brain activates and tells me "yeah, I need that"
@@georgiykireev9678 A sharp stick is basically another appendage. Primal man has used it for thousands of years and it's basically one of the most simple and effective tools ever invented. Everything from creating levers to spearing or help when climbing. If you're in a survival situation and have a problem, you can probably solve or improve it with a stick. Sticks are just that incredible.

If there's any chance your desert island is in the Caribbean, you should learn in advance to recognise the manchineel tree. This can kill you just with prolonged contact, even if you don't ingest it.
They can kill you without you even coming into contact with it. You just need to stand under one while it's raining and then your skin will blister from the sap dissolved in the water. And then if the blisters get infected, Bye bye.
The first thing I thought of when he said to prioritize fruits. Manchineel apples kill. 💀
I've lived in the Caribbean for most of my life and I don't know this plant in person. I've been seeing it on the internet time after time since the past 8 years. Being searching for it in person, haven't found it yet.
@@blackbway I've seen one on St. John, USVI. I was all :O but my cousin who's from there was just like "oh yeah just don't touch it, it's fine".

Same but it was a few days ago and I added it to my watch later
i love everything about this video, the topic is interesting and the way you show it in the video is fun and intresting
Legit stuff to add,;- 1, build a fish stockade trap (some were a mile of more long) between tide lines so any lingering fish are caught when the tide drops without any effort and they can be funneled to another covered pool (for birds) and kept alive for days. 2, rusty rocks may by pyrite and pyrite will spark if stuck with another hard stone. 3, a ring of fresh ashes is a partial deterrent around your "house" for insects and snakes ( I've slept right over a big piles of leaves I burned. Just swept-out a spot in the middle). 4. Eat brains and gonads. They are fat. You won't make it on lean meat as mentioned. Bones are food. Just paste them with a rock in your coconut cup I guess. 5. All polypore (gill-less) shelf mushrooms (no classic stalk) are not poisonous. Some will be wood like. The broth from cooked ones is nutritional no matter how tough they are. Ganaderma is global. 6, split bamboo are used as blades often. Dulls fast but there's more around easy. 7, spit on your cordage when you roll it on the top of your leg with your palm. Old ladies making the first ply for hemp rope chew leaves of something to keep it flowing. 8, rub mud into scales or feathers and coat the animal with a few inches of it and bake in the coals. When you peel ot off it takes the skin and you don't have to scale or pluck. 9. There are several tropical honeybees that are smaller and under leaves instead of in something. There's the only sugar you'll get and a known antibiotic and food preservative.
You forgot something.

I'm still trying to figure out how someone discovered how to make pokeweed edible. You have to boil it, drain it, cool then boil it again, to make it safe to eat, and this is only for the young leaves and stems.

I’ve always heard the warnings about tall solitary trees but never really understood how the tree gets that tall if it's that prone to being struck.
maybe it didn't grew as a solitary tree, but due to things happening became alone ? idk man
Lots of other tall trees that the lightning angels hate more/need to destroy first
its made by nature. they get hit and then fire brakes out. This is to get rid of old trees and shit in woods. Then its growing again. Nature has it all my man
Its the last one standing
lightning often misses its target so even if the tree itself doesn't get struck, the surroundig area will
35:10 smoky fires can also be used to slightly preserve foods, just hang your morsels near it and then they'll be stored in a space that bugs generally tend to avoid, and get a bit of potentially tasty smoky flavor.
EDIT: as @bwackbeedows3629 pointed out this might not always be safe.
That depends on the fuel being used. Plenty of wood that's useful for burning can be deadly if used for food preservation.

@@KarolOfGutovo you could use burning embers and cover the food completely overnight for example, that way it would be too hot for insects to go in and start eating the left over food?
Interesting how abbreviated the SAS version of the universal edibility test is in comparison to the US Army version which takes 24 hours per part of each plant.
Essentially, you're going to spend your starvation time trying to find parts of plants you can eat
i mean, as long as you have water and are able to catch fish/animals etc you wont die of nutrient deficiency until after a couple of months, while many plants are extremely toxic and can kill you within minutes. Its probably very dependent on the situation (ie have you been hunting/fishing successfully or do you have to resort to eating plants)
@@checker297 "resort to eating plants"? Let me guess, you don't like vegetables.
Seriously, did you watch the video? Plants are an absolute necessity in a long term survival situation. It is impossible to get all of your nutrients from meat or plants alone, you have to eat both.
And you can't be eating ANYTHING else during either universal edibility test.
@@jmi967 resort to eating plants within the first days because you're unable to acquire food in any other way for the time being. An unknown plant might be toxic but eating one more quickly may be better than dying of starvation.
@@jmi967I am calling BS. You can live off meat alone for a very long time.
@Skrenja look at inuit of the artic. They do eat plants, but nothing much. Mostly a meat based diet.
More good survival tips: If you see berries or small fruits, NEVER EAT THE SEEDS. The seeds often contain various types of poisons such as cyanide-releasing agents (apples and apricots, for instance), coumarins cause lethal irritation and photosensitivity (the Manchineel has poisonous flesh, bark, and leaves), and many fruit seeds which have the typical neurotoxin.
There are certain seeds that are edible after cooking, like the Inga Edulis tree, but this tree doesn’t grow on desert islands.
Tubers, like Cassava, need to be soaked in water for at least twenty four hours to remove cyanide. Not doing so would cause cyanide poisoning, or by incomplete soaking, cause a chronic condition known as Konzo. Uncooked tubers can also affect the ability of the body to absorb nutrients.
Is there any chance you could make one but for the mountains or something? I really enjoy listening to your narration, it's very soothing and there's a far higher chance I'd be stranded there than some island in the pacific
We're all chuckling to ourselves because this is relatively useless, but you'll be pissed when you're stuck on an island and remember watching this video, but nothing it told you
Nothing is more useless than a person with no survival skills in a life or death scenario. Things can go bad very quick. Pandemics, world wars, supply chain interruptions, droughts, fires, civil unrest.. Nah, nothing like that could happen.
@@scottashe984You basically restated my point, but without any subtlety
You actually can survive purely on fish, but you must eat the whole fish, this means cooking/boiling parts of the fish to ensure that they are clean. Fish also need proteins, carbs and nutrients to survive, so they will have them in their bodies.
I know inuit traditionally survived on almost 100% animal diet but from what I understand things like whale blubber and seal fat is very important for this and furthermore, eating it raw at least part of the time. Is their really enough vitamin C ie in fish not to get scurvy? Why then did sailors get it before they started bringing things like lemon juice?
@@jonweman6128sailors often took food with them. Which meant a lot of dried and otherwise preserved food as opposed to whole fresh fish
@@jonweman6128also sailors often go through large areas which aren’t inhabited by enough fish to live off
@jonweman6128 when your not consuming carbs your bodies hormones change and you become more efficient at extracting vitamin C from food. As long as you're eating organ meats from fish you'll survive.
How could you boil things if you don’t have a pan?
Easy. Just find your nearest tree, break it, and then use it to build a crafting table. Break some grass for seeds, make a hoe, and you’re set. Just make sure to build a shelter to avoid mobs at night ✅
