If you ever feel lonely, watch this video. It makes you realize we can accomplish incredible things despite our feelings. Without a doubt one of the best adventure documentaries I’ve ever seen
I'm a female I don't know, i really want to know,if a *man* stay alone like this can he somehow ,sometime,someway or seomwhat he can feel horny??? And foundout his *weapon* become hard !!!. I meant the situation so desperately forcing him to see how hard to live, can he still feel 'horny'???. & How he can be calm down , i'm asking this to this guy or ,because he got that experience or any guy who did come across this situation.
"Sometimes it's hard, here, to get the motivation. But today, I woke up, and I say, yeah, cool, I'm gonna do the bench. And now in the evening, I have a bench. I have *my* bench. I'm happy." This.
🥹 him carrying the screaming pig for hours and still being so kind about it was PRECIOUS! This is such a capable, strong yet gentle, masculine man! I’m so impressed at this fortitude!
Inferno Credits like I haven’t watched the video and without any context this makes absolutely no sense because it’s not even a proper sentence. The fact you understand it is worrisome lol
You can tell how happy he was to go and help a friend in need, just so he can be in their company! Can‘t imagine how hard it is to be alone all these months.
At first i was like “man, an hour long?” and then i thought about it and realized this man spent almost an entire year in the wild filming himself and he cut down all that footage to an hour. After watching the entire thing i think this belongs on netflix or somewhere more people can see it
Lol if anyone in his position you would walk that long to save a stranger or even a wounded animal this is what Bordem does to a human, in the end all that walk helped him relieve his bordem.
Yup..everyone on youtube thinks they are so clever with the same formatted jokes and rarely offer any actual feedback but the worst part is the mass of people who upvote the garbage tier comments to the top.
Crazy how human contact quickly changed his demeanour. From not wanting to start a fire or do anything, to walking 6 hours to another village to help somebody other than himself.
It shows everywhere that when humans have nothing we are at our most generous but we must always keep in mind our own needs as well sometimes that is simple companionship and that can be worth any price to us
Incredible. This is what youtube is for. That hour just flew by and was captivating. Amazing story. Thank you for painstakingly documenting and sharing with us
Man, when he was reflecting on Piggy leaving.... "And if one day before I leave if she wanna come back and say 'hello,' i'd be very happy"..... that really played my heart strings. What an incredible journey.
The beauty of this movie is the deeper simplification of what life is, and the different seasons one endures. You grow a seed and invest in your habitat every day a little

Best part was when he said “I’m quite happy because I have...a bench” Shows that when you set your mind to making something, even as “basic” as a bench, it brings great satisfaction. Should definitely be a show on Netflix or something. Deserves to be seen by way more people.

@@loganoreilly7763 And what if it wasn't a piggy but the mother of that piggy that he would slaughter? Would you still want to cry? A man from a 1st world country goes intentionally to a distant island to kill animals because he needs to "survive" for his little project, what a world we live in... He didn't even keep the friend he so desperately wanted... just abandoned him in the nearest island he could find... just wow.
“Today, I woke up and I said, “Yeah, cool, I’m gonna do the bench.” And now in the evening, I have a bench. Eheh, I have my bench..... I’m happy.” Edit: Time stamp: 45:31 ^.^
this impressive yes but might I recommend you watch Ed wardles solo survival in the Canadian wilderness. the full documentary is on RUclips I believe or on some streaming services online. this guy surviving on Tofua at least has human contact from time to time, Ed wardle has none whatsoever once he is dropped off in the Canadian wilderness, I hate to say this but its more extreme than this guy, Ed literally loses his mind from 0 human contact and also is in danger from bear attacks pretty much daily. plz check it out its brilliant, I watched it with my uncle when I was about 18 years old, never forget it it's so brave and scary all in one. oh sorry I forgot to mention it is called Ed wardle, alone in the wild.
When you watch it feels like he’s talking to you, but for him he was alone talking to a camera for a year before he could even edit this for someone to see
I have a small penis But, yes I understand that. I mean that he had it all recorded in loneliness and couldn’t show it till it was all over with and edited. Have you ever tried to have real conversations to a camera it’s actually a pretty hard skill to get a good camera presence.
Lo vi hace unos años, hoy lo compartí a mi primo,ya aquí son las dos de la mañana , lo veré mañana otra vez ❤ gracias RUclips por no quitarlo y gracias desconocido por hacer este vídeo
14:41 “What I realize now is that I start feeling lonely, because I have nobody to talk, I have nobody to change opinion and then I talk to myself, but I always agree with me, then it’s not fun”.... beautiful moment.
Best 50 minutes spent on youtube. Felt the pain in his voice, saw what true happiness looks like, felt his lonelines and became grateful to what I have. I really wish I could meet you in person.
I come back to this video every once in a while, usually when I'm about to make some important decision in my life. Thank you for sharing this amazing experience, God bless you.
i wasn't really expecting staying for an hour watching Robinson Crusoé on his volcano island. But i have to admit, it was the best thing i did during a boring morning. And now i know how to make a leaf roof.
same here. My sweety had the same experience as you and this morning he was telling me about this video, then he found it and we were just gonna watch for a bit and I ended the same as both of you, mesmerized the whole hour.
If only there were no music at all, this would have been infinitely more watchable. It also would have been nice if a professional audio/video person had gone over it and actually bothered adjusting the volume so the speaker isn't whisper quiet sometimes and blaring at other times.
@ended era I feel like maybe I just have a hard time making decisions. Like I’ll be like I hate this thing and then I don’t and then I just can’t decide. My mind be scrambled.
@@Nemo7The7Pirate7 Hey man, multiple opinions aren't a bad thing, even if those opinions come from multiple you's. Now if ya start naming your multiple opinions... That's probably not good.
once you live such an experience, your view on life changes radically, you get to know how little things can be cherished and how little we are versus nature, it also teaches us how little we need as human beings compared to how much we get. such an experience must be humbling and eyes opening for sure
@@Gamer-products the guy who came to him for help saving his friend's finger (and likely his hand or even his life) gave him a puppy as a present and I got emotional over it because I love animals haha
I dont think discrediting his journey based on some lone encounters throughout the video is a good idea... Most of us would probably not make it a weeks time in that.
@Nill Gddy good for you man, I hope someone sees your comment and sends you a cookie through the mail. A big fucking cookie, with chocolate chips and maybe some thc in it so you chill out lol
What an adventure, wow. Almost nobody in modern society could do this and stay sane. An amazing achievement and I am very proud of you Olivier after going through such hardship. May you live out the rest of your days in peace my friend.

I am in tears. Such a beautiful life event. I wish I had the valor and determination to challenge myself this way. Thank you for sharing this event with us, that only dream of doing it.
I actually met Xavier in a bar on the main island of Tonga Nuku'Alofa in August 2008 right before he started his adventure. I remember he told me about it and I was so impressed! It really fueled the adventurer in me as well being at the start of the world trip I was doing with my girlfriend. So nice after more than 10 years to stumble upon this video and to see his achievements on the island. Deep respect! And I enjoyed the film so much! :D
I really want to be alone like you sir.. at least for a week.. I really want inner peace. so much has happened in my life that I really want to shout to the whole island.Maybe I can do that when I have enough money. I know I can do that but I don't know when.. thanks to god sir that you passed all the trials and lived a simple life according to the gift of nature.No one lives alone on an island. But a quiet place can give peace to your heart and mind..,👍🙏❤
@@TARNATIONPLANTATION I dont remember if he said how long he had the pig but honestly, pigs will find a way to eat. They literally root up the ground for food. that pig most likely didn't die.
The amount of wisdom this video has. This man is really brave, a true strong man, I respect this man a lot. Ive thought about it that this video is just like our life. Even I have a hard time when somethings ends even when I still get to see them, but this adventure really has to end and you never get to see them again, just have to go and move on on life. I guess this is what life is about, to experience new things and everything has to end and you jus have to accept it. This video just came across my recomendation, I feel blessed to encounter this video. And Just like this video it has to end and its really hard to accept that someday even we watch this many times, it still has to end. How cruel. But somehow gloriously beautiful.
How did I end up watching this entire thing at 1 AM? And now all of a sudden I can appreciate my life more and how easily accessible everything is, clean water, food, shelter, electricity, how much we take these things for granted.
Why do we always think about deep things in life in the middle of the night? And when dawn breaks all of those stuff that we thought about all night goes down the drain... Story Of My Life.
@@napster339 It's 1AM as I'm writing this and I also can't help but wonder why our houghts change so much at this time of day. It might be the fact that even if we have chores ahead of ourselves, they are impossible to accomplish at night - you can't go to the bank, call someone or just start vacuuming. So, even though we might have plenty of time to sit around thinking during the day, there's suddenly nothing else to do and nothing else to think about but the thoughts we suppress all day because we have to do something more time sensitive. I also loved to go for a walk in the middle of the night and I realise now that it allowed me to enjoy solitude without truly being alone. I was in a town, surrounded by man made structures and people - but none of them were around to affect me, be it negatively or even positively.
and the homeless people sees a Mc Donalds cheeseburgare the are so happy. But all we "normal" people are disappointed when the get clothes for Christmas or birthday present. That bench was really good
amazingly inspiring video, i watched this years ago and now as someone who wants to travel the world this is the extreme level of exploration and survival absolutely brilliant well done my french friend!
If you ever feel lonely, watch this video. It makes you realize we can accomplish incredible things despite our feelings. Without a doubt one of the best adventure documentaries I’ve ever seen

A man from a 1st world country goes intentionally to a distant island to kill animals because he needs to "survive" for his little project, what a world we live in...
He didn't even keep the friend he so desperately wanted... just abandoned him in the nearest island he could find... just wow.
Michael Afanasiev you do realise he would eat just as many animals, if not more when at home
I find myself coming back and watching this every few years. It might be my favorite type of media ever.
Thank you

You must have a lot of time on your hands to see most shows on Netflix...
this impressive yes but might I recommend you watch Ed wardles solo survival in the Canadian wilderness. the full documentary is on RUclips I believe or on some streaming services online. this guy surviving on Tofua at least has human contact from time to time, Ed wardle has none whatsoever once he is dropped off in the Canadian wilderness, I hate to say this but its more extreme than this guy, Ed literally loses his mind from 0 human contact and also is in danger from bear attacks pretty much daily. plz check it out its brilliant, I watched it with my uncle when I was about 18 years old, never forget it it's so brave and scary all in one. oh sorry I forgot to mention it is called Ed wardle, alone in the wild.

When you watch it feels like he’s talking to you, but for him he was alone talking to a camera for a year before he could even edit this for someone to see
Jake_of_the_Jungle 98 he would have only had the camera when he was doing something worthwhile he wouldn’t record himself 24/7
I have a small penis But, yes I understand that. I mean that he had it all recorded in loneliness and couldn’t show it till it was all over with and edited. Have you ever tried to have real conversations to a camera it’s actually a pretty hard skill to get a good camera presence.

If only there were no music at all, this would have been infinitely more watchable.
It also would have been nice if a professional audio/video person had gone over it and actually bothered adjusting the volume so the speaker isn't whisper quiet sometimes and blaring at other times.

You have to submit this to a film festival! This was absolutely fantastic, start to finish.
@Nill Gddy lmao he was alone 280 of the 300 days. Only had his friend there for two weeks. Watch the whole video.
I dont think discrediting his journey based on some lone encounters throughout the video is a good idea...
Most of us would probably not make it a weeks time in that.
@Nill Gddy good for you man, I hope someone sees your comment and sends you a cookie through the mail. A big fucking cookie, with chocolate chips and maybe some thc in it so you chill out lol
Thank you David, this movie is a bit too old to enter film festivals, that's why I put it here
@Nill Gddy So let's think of who he had. Temporarily a pig, a dog, couple encounters with random people. Sounds like basically being alone to me
I remember sitting down thinking "no way I'll watch an hour of this" just about an hour ago.
I did the exact same thing.

Soloman 5k ok libtard
@ Soloman 5k Other animals kill each other as well. That's nature my dude.
mental health in such a place is equally important to eating. if he is lonely and without company, he will eventually give up. he found more value in the pig as a friend.

I actually met Xavier in a bar on the main island of Tonga Nuku'Alofa in August 2008 right before he started his adventure. I remember he told me about it and I was so impressed! It really fueled the adventurer in me as well being at the start of the world trip I was doing with my girlfriend. So nice after more than 10 years to stumble upon this video and to see his achievements on the island. Deep respect! And I enjoyed the film so much! :D
Awesome!

I know I can do that but I don't know when.. thanks to god sir that you passed all the trials and lived a simple life according to the gift of nature.No one lives alone on an island. But a quiet place can give peace to your heart and mind..,👍🙏❤
I cried a little when he said:
and if one they she will come back and say hello i'd be very happy.
loneliness felt.
At least he wasn't stuck only with a volleyball named Wilson.
Idk why, but I had this strong urge to fling the piglet against a rock when it was super squealing.
@@TARNATIONPLANTATION
I dont remember if he said how long he had the pig but honestly, pigs will find a way to eat. They literally root up the ground for food. that pig most likely didn't die.

The amount of wisdom this video has. This man is really brave, a true strong man, I respect this man a lot. Ive thought about it that this video is just like our life. Even I have a hard time when somethings ends even when I still get to see them, but this adventure really has to end and you never get to see them again, just have to go and move on on life. I guess this is what life is about, to experience new things and everything has to end and you jus have to accept it. This video just came across my recomendation, I feel blessed to encounter this video.
And Just like this video it has to end and its really hard to accept that someday even we watch this many times, it still has to end.
How cruel. But somehow gloriously beautiful.
Thank you 🙏
How did I end up watching this entire thing at 1 AM? And now all of a sudden I can appreciate my life more and how easily accessible everything is, clean water, food, shelter, electricity, how much we take these things for granted.

Why do we always think about deep things in life in the middle of the night? And when dawn breaks all of those stuff that we thought about all night goes down the drain...
Story Of My Life.
@@napster339 It's 1AM as I'm writing this and I also can't help but wonder why our houghts change so much at this time of day.
It might be the fact that even if we have chores ahead of ourselves, they are impossible to accomplish at night - you can't go to the bank, call someone or just start vacuuming. So, even though we might have plenty of time to sit around thinking during the day, there's suddenly nothing else to do and nothing else to think about but the thoughts we suppress all day because we have to do something more time sensitive.
I also loved to go for a walk in the middle of the night and I realise now that it allowed me to enjoy solitude without truly being alone. I was in a town, surrounded by man made structures and people - but none of them were around to affect me, be it negatively or even positively.
“Now, I have my bench...I’m happy.” So little to make a man happy who has nothing.
and the homeless people sees a Mc Donalds cheeseburgare the are so happy. But all we "normal" people are disappointed when the get clothes for Christmas or birthday present. That bench was really good

I think he actually looks better health wise after the 10 months. You can see it in his face. He probably got good exercise everyday
R. B. He wasn’t eating any processed foods. All natural stuff. It probably did wonders for his health
Yes but he was also eating very onesided. It was basically fish and coconuts. Rarely did he get other foods so you could see that as something bad
Fifty Empire fasting can work wonders. He wasn’t fasting but he wasn’t eating 4K calories a day
That's the point
I totally deesagree. It would take so much longer for his body to adopt to that food to be considered healthy
