Strick is back for a new Survival Challenge Series! He's re-visiting different survival stories while travelling up the remote stretches of the Great Barrier Reef. There's tales of heroic survival against all odds, and some tragic endings... Join him in the exact location of these scenarios to test his own survival skills and share their crazy stories.
In this Episode Strick is revisiting one of the craziest stories of survival against all odds... In 1858 A young French cabin boy was deserted on a remote beach in Australia and left for dead... 17 years later he sails back into France with the newspapers reporting him 'The White Savage'. But what happened during those 17 years is crazy! This is the story of Narcisse 'Pierre' Pelletier.
In order to survive on these desert islands they will need to catch Giant Mudcrabs barehanded, use bushcraft skills like making a handpear to catch fish and stingrays, making a friction fire and utilising the environment for shelter. Hope you enjoy coming along on this Survival Challenge!

Here's the new Episode guys (and maybe the best yet): ruclips.net/video/LZqjxoflnaw/видео.html
Hey Strick, you have shared bits and pieces of your life. Have you ever thought of putting together videos of an autobiography? You are so attached to the earth and your skills and knowledge are amazing. Life is grand.
I totally agree the background of Strick is now even more interesting I hope he will take up
Your suggestion
Thanks for the kind words mate, I appreciate that. Umm I feel like I'm just getting started... Maybe years later, but I've got a lot of things I want to do first :)
@@BacktoBasics as long as you share all the adventures. My wife and I wait for Sunday morning coffee to see Back 2 Basics and the Castaways.
I really love hearing the great stories from Australia's past.
I have seen a lot of survival channels but the fact you have history in a lot of your videos are just so amazing. Education and entertainment!!!
This video was terrific! It was longer than usual, but I didn't notice one bit. Watching you take us through history on a recreation of sorts of a real survival story that happened several hundred years ago, was fascinating. Seeing you eating off the land had me thinking, "I could do that"! I really enjoyed this video! Thanks!
Love these episodes of tales from long ago brought to life. Your own life is pretty interesting too, Please keep them coming!
ye
And people think old times are great😂
@lariosa6449 ye lol like when we were infested by parasites and battling hunger... uh hmmnmmm, what i meant was strong and at the top of the food chain..... ha ha.......
@@Clipsandcontent-not just that, old time people are more savages too, low morale and murdering some people like it's norm.
@@steppilariosa6449 ye lol u got a point too
love how much effort you put in to these videos , greatly appreciated
These episodes are just wonderful ! Love watching them and hearing these tales . I keep looking out for your lovely girl Friday Fran 🙏 Happy New Year guys 🙏
I dont know what the big secret is - the place where Pelletier was left is Cape Direction at a point known as "First Bed Rock Point" near Lockhart North Queensland.
A little more info: After 17 years with the tribe, Pelletier was rediscovered by the crew of pearling schooner the John Bull. He was brought aboard the ship and the crew claimed later that the tribe were holding him for ransom in exchange for trade. However, Pelletier maintained that this was not the case, and that he had greatly wished to return to his tribe but was afraid of the guns aboard the pearling ship.
After his rescue-turned-kidnapping, Narcisse Pelletier was quickly returned to France. Pelletier eventually married and became a lighthouse keeper, choosing to live in isolation. Dix-sept ans chez les sauvages, the only contemporary book published about his experience, includes some of the earliest sheet music to record Aboriginal songs, with the lyrics written phonetically in-language. The book also includes several copies of the letters he wrote home to his family during the return voyage to France in 1875.
John Otley reintroduced him to his native French on his journey from Summerset to Sydney after being kidnapped by the crew of the John Bell at Night Island. He was abandoned at a site called Waanthala AKA Dinner Creek south of Cape Direction. The TOs of this area have never been dispossessed and continue to farm their land and sea. A bit of poetic license being taken here but good luck to them.
@@ghostladydarkling3250 i agree with your second point, but the man did say the native women found him half dead. He did not state that the kid survived at all alone. He said the opposite about both his survival of the shipwreck and the women finding him after the crew dumped him on the shore.
As far as his "rescue" goes, at least the tribe he stayed with didn't end up getting wiped out as their "reward" for taking him in, which is what I was expecting to discover after being warned that there was a sad ending to the story.

Hope you enjoyed this Ep, thanks for being here legends! 🙏
They sadly don't ship to new zealand 😔
I have an old friend that is a Christian Missionary, and he says that if you are on the beach and need fresh water, back up from the water's edge about 200 feet and dig down. He says that the sand filters everything out of it including salt. It works for fresh water lakes too.
Strick, yu mangi Kavieng ah? Yu tok em stret o'nogat??
Ah!You tube blurred cartoon drawings...
What a great and rivetting story. You're a great story teller and with living the land at the same time, it was awesome!
Honestly one of the best channels on RUclips.
You've just made a new subscriber my friend. I find your content very educational yet simplified enough to watch with the kids.
Keep up the good work mate 👍
I absolutely love this series.
One of the most interesting channels on RUclips !! Thanks for your hard work Strick !!

Incredible videos. Really enjoying them
Great story telling and skills Strick! Thank you!
🤭
been watching a few of your videos and I got too say your one of the most interesting people I have ever had the good fortune to come across on the internet, your a entertainer, a teacher, and story teller, and a survival expert all rolled into one package, thank you for sharing these stories with us.
I really like these story survival challenges!
Amazing survival story I think Bush craft is also amazing the ingenuity of people the things the natives can do with all natural sustainable resources is absolutely brilliant...
Great episode, appreciate the history!
Keep it up ! Love the stories
Loved the content, and the story was amazing. This Is now my favourite RUclips Channel.
I really enjoyed this episode. The history of 'Pierre' Pelletier was very insightful, as was some of your family backround Strick. Your knowledge of survival skills are spot on, and I believe you could have survived back in 1858. The best line I heard in this video was "As crooked as a politician". 🤣 How true a statement.
These are awesome mate thank you 👍👍
Spectacular story telling. I also loved the background video. I think this is my new favorite video on all of RUclips! Thank you sir. You earned my subscription and my like.
I saved it to a playlist so other people may watch it. Thanks
- What a *crazy* story ! Omg 😲
Really enjoyed your experience woven into young Pierre's. Great way to go
I really enjoy the historical incorporation into your videos keep this type comming
Strick, that was a terrific episode. I am wanting to find that book to read now. Much appreciated.
I see the author is Constant Merland but not sure book name
Great video and great historical commentary. What is that book about Pierre called?
Love the history guys🙌🏼!
A wonderful, fascinating story.
Love the story. Cheers mate
Great episode, Thankyou.
Thanks for the Story, Great Ep Mate!
Loved this vid keep it up bro ❤ peace and love all the way from the middel east bahrain
this is the best survival series i’ve ever seen
Absolutely fascinating story.
Great video mate i lived the storytelling along with the hunting
Interesting story of young Pierre. Great video.
Cool story thanks for sharing it and your survival adventure.
Awesome .
Thanks for sharing the journey.
What's the name of the book you reference.
I'd like to read it.
Regards.
Greg
Fascinating story, thanks
You are amazing!! Thank you!!
Loving your background music really adds to your recording 👍👍👍
Top series! Thanks for showing these amazing areas and explaining the history. The story of your youth is always fascinating.
Heat the wood on the outer curve (convex) as the moisture will evaporate and shrink that side, therefore straightening the piece (spear).
I would straighten while wet, holding it down for hours while it dried near the fire. Then I would apply fire directly to affix the correction and seal against insects. edit, obvs I would get rocks or something to hold it.
Proud to be a Papua New Guinean, watching this..
Plus, I also get to hear the name Pierre being used all throughout this video..
Awesome story and adventure.
Thank's 4 sharin.
Magical Strick. 👏🏽👏🏽
Awesome Episode bro!...
I believe! I have been lacking belief, but I’m in a new place with my redeemer, my saviour, my closest friend. Thank you Rob. This means a lot 😊
Just to make survival life easier next time, with the native hibiscus stick (identify heart-shaped leaves and yellow flowers, growing along the beach edge) leave the bark on when bending over the fire. This helps hold it together so it won't break. In your survival kit, have three steel lengths each one foot long (available in a single length from Bunnings) and sharpened at one end, plus a coil of copper wire (from Jarcar) and a tube of araldite. This will make the difference between a struggle for survival and the good life. Hope you don't mind, Strick, great stuff you are doing. Every kid in Oz should learn what you teach.
Bit of a trick for the next time you straighten a stick!
Leave the bark on it will hold the moisture in longer for the steam effect you need, with the bark off the wood splits easier
Great story the story reminds me of Juana Maria the lone woman of San Nicolas Island she lived 18 years by herself on the outermost island of the Channel Islands off the West Coast of California there was a book written about it the book was a historical but fictional tale of her time. Her story ends with a very sad ending also. There's only one picture of her and she is completely miserable in the picture breaks my heart😢
Even without your normally and pleasantly distracting sidekick Fran, this is one of the most interesting videos of yours I've watched! Most enjoyable... having Fran in it would have been the frosting on the mud crab!!
just found this channel, great vid! i've subbed
Good show mate!
You need more of this AG1, I swear!😅😂
What an incredible story!
Jack you are a hero.
Love the stories watch all B2B episodes
Thanks, Back 2 Basics.
Those bigger ones are my favorites, you can make chowders, many appetizers etc.
Fun to watch, and think what I'd do differently. All the glass bottles around for water... leaves... evaporate some sea water for salt on the yams and ray. And most importantly, find a tidal pool to rest the clams in so they spit out the excess sand.
This is fascinating 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great story!
When I was just a kid, we were at our Bach, on the boulder bank, across from Nelson, NZ, grandad had his line out, in the afternoon it went crazy he had hooked a big bloody stingray, he reeled it in, left it alone for an hour or so to die, went to unhook it, the thing was still alive and it stung him with it's barb right in the big muscle in his right thumb, honestly I have never seen anything like it, his thumb was the size of a baseball and purple. But grandad was a real tough old guy, never even complained once, but man that must have hurt, two Panadol's and 3 flagons of beer and he was all good lol..
those clams oxygenate the ocean, helping the coral grow and cleaning the water, its also banned in some places in america I heard too
Very good episode again thank you...Your new name Strick is Yum Yum! The Ray meat is a lot like our Skate here delicious ! Cheers for now...
The manta ray when cut like scallops tastes like that when cut from the wings. I like watching your videos and how much you enjoy living off the land.
Loved it / Mud Crab Wow.
Love the channel. Next time try adding water to your branch so that you steam the branch, maybe make scratches where you want to bend so that the water gets in more easily, this makes it easier to bend. Or use a fresh / green branch, as moisture is needed to bend it.
A thumbs up. A good video. Cheers.
Awesome fire 🔥
I LOVE your videos
Such a struggle now to teach children properly, when they go to public schools.
A simple camping trip can be a nightmare for other children.
You are doing an amazing thing right now!❤🥃🤙
prob time to invest in improving public schools. the long-term solution to pretty much every problem.
That stingray looked nasty! 😂🤣
Great content
I'd love to know the name and author of this book. Great video! Thanks for sharing!
“Castaway: The extraordinary survival story of Narcisse Pelletier...”
Thanks!@@richardbell5792
Substance and education on youtube with a survival challenge, keep it up stricksy.
Turtle and Dugong can still be hunted by first nations people.. also, you say Aboriginal people use to cook sting ray like you have on the hot coals.. we still do lol all in all, great videos! Would love to see some up in the straits!!
That was unreal l subscribed
What a captivating video and story. I’ve never heard of Narcisse Pierre Pelletier. I could not find a movie about his life. I am going to buy his autobiography right now after watching your video. Thank you for sharing his story.
Serge Aillery produced a number of docos with English subtitles. Stephanie Anderson's book is by far the best factually.
Yup. It's definitely looking straighter.. straight to the woodpile!!! lol... sorry.. shouldn't laugh... much enjoyment here. keep 'em coming!!
Fascinating story and cool episode! Does anyone know the name of the book being referenced in the episode? Many thanks, cheers 💟
Beautiful view 🎉
Hello from the states Fran and Strick!! Great content ! I'm really curious if you know the title of the book about "Pierres'" life and struggles during that time ! I dont think you mentioned it , tia mate!!
Stephanie Anderson did the translation of the original French work of Constante Merland in the late 1800s
Shells like those your are eating at the fire live under the sand/mud. They send up a syphon and breathe that way. If you bother, they withdraw into the hole. So 6-12" below is the hard shell. Depending on the size of the shell. Used to live Mid Pacific on a tiny island.
Cracking Video Jack, any Idea why we do not eat stingray more in Aussie? Seems to be a popular catch throughout greater Asia. Do you have a link to some of these books your are reading, they sound like perfect gifts / things to read while we have some holidays. Cheers for being such a great story teller. Dive safe, have fun! 🍻👍👌
very cool video, good on ya....Purslane is a weed which grows in almost any environment that gets rain on a regular basis...it is chockful of vitamins, antioxidents: mag, iron, calcium, Vit A & C and more. I'm seeing a lot of it in various cuts on your video. A great view of it is @15:39 it's that succulent plant which has a reddish stalk and fat green leaves (like a jade plant). Would be great to add some plant foods to our diet in ways in addition to your AG1. Additionally it can be used on your wounds as a topic treatment. You can also use purslane as a topical remedy for irritated skin and help wounds heal faster.... not calorie dense but makes up a good part of the additional body needs.
Good show.
Hey mate not sure if you said in the video. What was the name of the book. Thanks for such great videos.
Amazing story of survival and adaptability. He must have been incredibly depressed to have been taken back to France.
5:13 I've found the same shaped bottle before 🤯
