Some things I learned: Xander is way more jacked than I thought, tropical suits him more than I would have thought, he needs to do some more of these long form video's where he's out of the snow and Canadian outback, he's funnier than I thought too. Good stuff Xander!
I watched this with my little boy (6). He asked loads of questions and we learned a lot from your good example. Inspiring work you do showing those survival skills and your constructive attitude. Thanks.
I started off with watching the video about being stranded on Amazon rainforest and here i am on another stranded situation, your videos are really addictive man, im so involved and submerged while watching em, alrighttt onto to the next stranded episode, good workk!!
Hey, algorithm just showed me this video randomly, I’ve never seen any of your videos. 1 hour in the video and I’m so submerged and mesmerized! Awesome work bud
Oh, wow. You have so much to see with Xander's channel! I've been watching him for over 2 years now, and I still get excited when he drops a new video. I hope you get a chance to check out all of his older videos 😃🙌
Warning ! Xander's videos are very addicted...You start to see the first, you need to see the others. There are no end. Perhaps this guy is very attractive too 😅😅. I think so.
53:32- 54:06 is why I watch. Every other survival/camping content creator seems so serious, but Xander gives all of his videos a great lightheartedness that I really enjoy!
i dont know what it is about your vibe but i really like it. like, even the ad had me feeling good and ready for meditative nature adventures. thanks for doing this in such a genuine way, and the work that goes into recording these rather than just doing them
I remember in a video long ago, Xander said he figured out what to do on the channel. First he would explore the outback, then get a car to explore North America, then a boat to explore the world. The finally he would get a spaceship to explore the universe. He is 3/4 so far, don't underestimate this guy. He'll go where no one else has one day!

*one tips- if u want drink coconut water with better taste, shake the coconut first, if u hear the water inside shaking, thats defenitly the wrong one. if it dont shaking, thats the good one. it's coconut taste just so good and better than, and eazy to scratch too. im an south east asian, coconut water is my blood. trust me
@LEMAO-hm3hg but he didn't want to climb as it clearly was using to much energy and it wasn't as easy as just poking them down. You can't test a coconut that's hanging on the palm. It needs to already have been hit to the floor at which this time he might as well drink it regardless of it having much coconut water inside, due to him being on an island for 5 days. You don't get picky when in that situation.
Yes, friend. You might be scrolling through the comments, like me, reading all these motivational comments. If you're reading this at night, you should get some sleep and not stress about everything going on in the world or what you're going through. Don't dwell on things from the past, don't stress about your future. Just live your life, because you only have one. Do whatever makes you happy, not what others want from you.
I just opened this video and you were the first motivational comment! Thanks, really needed it. I’m gonna go to sleep… after watching this video and reading all the comments.
Sometimes when I have trouble going to sleep, I play out in my mind a fantasy where I wash up on the beach and have to survive. Your adventure was a lot like that, so fun and refreshing! Loved it! Thanks for the effort Xander.
19:56 just a big tip for anyone wanna climb a coconut tree that tall. > if you have a machete like he has, just cut a foothold around the tree.. like basically turning the tree into a ladder. IT won't harm the tree, and ur basically just climbing a ladder. Extremely easy if you do it that way. I used to do it that way. basically starting from the bottom you just work your way up, very easy. > the string trick he's doing isn't bad but ur supposed to use a bigger rope not something thin like what he is using cuz ur feet is going to be bleeding.
My parents were on the same course as you and they have been very excitedly waiting for this video. We've just sat down and watched it whilst we had dinner, and they paused the video every 5 mins to tell me about their experience 😂
My primary takeaway from this video is simply how much time and effort it takes a "primitive man" to simply not die. You spend the majority of your waking moments just trying to get water and food and not be killed by the elements. Quite amazing and a real testament to how impactful the concept of cultivating plants and animals was. Without that, we'd still all be scrabbling for the basics.
@@johnfranktullo3463 you underestimate our ancestors and our potential, it was not "lucky". like those that say humans without guns are nothing. we killed mamooths with spears for fks sake, there is no luck involved.
My favorite part about these is how after a few days you have so clearly been alone and kind of are in a minor way losing your mind. It is very entertaining because you stay so positive.
From a Canadian- Caribbean Island boy, seeing you use the bamboo to pick the coconuts made me smile as it's how we get them in the Caribbean. Just one piece of advice for the future. We attach a blade to the end of the stick to cut them (and other fruits) down from the tree(s). Thanks for the vid budz.
My favourite survival content is "island with nothing surviving" but you made me love "geared camping/surviving" but this that you do my favourite content and its YOU, MY GOD you are the BEST❤
tips with the coconut, when its heavy its right and ripen means it has thin meat but has more water and sweet, but if its almost the same size but light that means its quite old, brown just means very old and more lighter, the lighter the coconut the thicker meat it has, when its ligher and has thicker meat it means it has less water in it and might also have less sweeter taste. coming from an islander myself.
Drinking too much coconut water can cause diarrhea in some people. Coconut water is high in potassium, which can lead to an electrolyte imbalance and diarrhea if consumed in excess. Coconut water also contains fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols (FODMAPs), which are short-chain carbohydrates that can cause digestive issues like diarrhea.
In the beginning of drinking only coconut water lets say for survival, the electrolytes can cause a top down colonic rinsing out the small/large intestines. It's important to keep perspectives on things. After the intestines clean out old processed food/etc, the body can optimize its use of the coconut water & the body's digestion will adapt to the coconut water electrolytes.
So too many powerade and Gatorade can cause diarrhea due to high electrolytes? Would explain why I rarely had a solid one while playing football, that and all the protein shakes mixed with raw eggs and chocolate milk of course
I love my boy Xander. Drinks 90 coconuts over the course of three days and thinks the reason he has stomach problems is he may have accidentally had some fresh sushi. Your videos are next level my man. Starting to remind me of Survivorman.
haha at the start of the video I remember hearing some where to much coconut can cause diarrhea esp if eating them too. But I'll admit I thought it was the fish that caused the runs.
Yeah, raw meat isn't going to hurt you at all if it's from a natural healthy animal. I've been eating raw animal foods for years and I've never been sick a single time. If I was in his position I'd have ate at least one of those fishes raw, there's actually more nutrients in it raw than there is cooked. I also just prefer raw meat but yeah.
Those crabs will be talking about you for years: "Remember when that Canadian guy showed up and chucked out all of those perfectly good coconuts?" "Remember? I've still got some of the coconut in my freezer".
That is what UA-cam should be all about... the algorithm took me here and I was amazed. You're serious figuring out survival stuff but still you are funny in the same time. Much respect, man!
If you enjoyed this, check out on UA-cam, "the island with bear grylls". Its a TV show about survival that took place on this same island, just a few years earlier.
Xander! Please film yourself going back home as well! Would be so cool to see how much of a change it was and how much you appreciate your actual home. Fantastic video though!
You did a great job surviving on an island for 5 days without anything but limited tools...Coconut for 5 days is what makes you a survivor...I'm a fan from the Philippines💯💪
Those little crabs and ants are the most happiest ones...and really thankful to you more than your subscribers. They wont forget you ever in their life for such a treat you have given to them. A lot of sweet opened coconuts !!!
"You have to cook the coconut by burning it, it will be very delicious. By peeling off some of the skin and burning the whole thing, it's really amazing. You should try it at least once." 😊😊thaifood😊😊
I love the big outdoors, but life with a multi handicapped child is restrictive to say the least.. but being able to take a few short breaks here and there with our regality and being able to watch your great content Xander is refreshing. please, never stop what you are doing. you are not only entertaining but also a safe haven for people like me :) best regard from Norway
I was just going to post this. I got a little worried when he said that coconuts were going to be his main source of food and water, because I had a feeling this was going to happen!
Congratulation, you're the first person I've ever seen successfully drilling a fire with material from the place (+paracord). I know, it's harder than it looks. Love your videos
In Australia we also call a Trigger Fish a Leather Jacket. Best way to get to the meat is to peel the leather off / skin it. From the head to the tail. Pretty simple once you know how. Awesome video and good to see you exploring outside of your own backyard (Canada).
That was insane Xander! I always thought the show “Survivor” should be more about your adventure and less about stabbing each other in the back. I figured you’d elevate your sleeping off of the earth due to the crabs and pests but you did alright. I think your stomach issues were less about the fish and more about the coconuts. Glad you brought us along for the adventure!
I usually don't leave comments on UA-cam videos, but this one was a masterpiece. I love watching your videos while having brunch or before falling asleep, since the music you use and the scenery you capture are mesmerizing. However, this one kept me awake for the entire length.
Your tenacity is infectious. You showed how hard and how important water is in the outdoors. Loved this episode. Still laughing about the beginning scene of you floating in the water...Classic! Your humor is fantastic Xander. Thanks again!
stepping up the camping game....dont let the tropics fool anyone...it can be harsh if you dont know how to fend properly. I was born and raised in Tonga...I watch you call coconuts ripe.... the ripe ones are the old ones. the young ones are the sweeter ones...typically heavier too. Great stuff my friend..!
Walk the entire island before climbing a tree for coconuts. You will find a source without having to climb. Coconuts for hydration is a last resort. If coconuts are too young or old the milk becomes a diuretic. Shake the coconut if there is no sound drink, if you hear it slosh only eat the meat. The best way to find water is to travel to the woodline past the beach and dig a hole. The water may taste brackish but it is safe to drink. Wiseman, John (2014). SAS Survival Handbook: The Ultimate Guide to Surviving Anywhere (3rd ed.).
@@Willinox your answer is sea level plus one foot deep for a two foot wide hole. The explanation of how to find better sources of water, will peak your interest, how natural springs work. It's worth the read.
could create you a distiller with heated rocks, 2 coconuts and a plastic bag bro. surviving is easy if people use technology like plastics. even if u didnt have the plastic bag the reeds can be twisted into a tube formation very very very easily.
Clearly you haven't watched real survivalists. They dig holes and make make shift plastic films using leaves with trash they find to make magnifying glasses to heat leaves in a dirt pit during the day which condensates and drips water and they bring zero equipment other than a camera. This dudes a los*r
A tip from me, its easier to open cocomut from the side, just make a V cut and you need 4-6 swing. The side is not as thick as the top or bottom of coconut
My favorite part about this guy is he doesnt do all the 'i am a professional' theatrics. Sure, he knows exactly what hes doing, but hes just a normal guy with a passion for this stuff. A lot more enjoyable than some of the other guys. You and Outdoor Boys are the GOATS of this sphere. Props for doing what 99% of us could never do
It’s these videos where he spends most of his time without a shirt that I’m reminded that Xander used to be a model. Handsome, intelligent, resourceful, and kind. 😍
@@russianman07 Yes. I absolutely am. Now that I’ve answered your strange curiosity in regards to activities in my bedroom, I hope you have a great day! 😘
Xander, the effort you put into this whole production, the filming of the event, constant camera adjustments to capture worthy footage for us viewers, not to mention the island survival itself - it’s insane, massive kudos to you sir!
one of the best video i have ever seen!! i just love the place . i can feel the dude’s feelings after leaving the place where he experienced a lots. the shelter he made ,the coconut leftovers , the snails, fish ,the fire he lit ,leaving all behind,he surely missed the place after getting home .
This frustrating bc it’s such a misnomer. Most people can digest coconut water just fine and won’t get diarrhea or excess urination even after eating all those coconuts. Most people’s kidneys can handle the potassium compounds
a simple tip on cooking the trigger fish. the fish has natural thick skin so it doesn't need scaling and you can put it directly on the hot coals without wrapping it. in that way, the flesh from the inside will be cooked properly. you don't have to worry about burning the skin because it isn't edible after all.
1 hour in and I must say, this was more realistic than some of those surviving videos. The comments about drinking coconut water is just annoying, because they insist on making you be like the other videos. They go right to fires and fishing before even touching on basics like you did, just ensuring you have some kind of hydration. Thats realistic as it gets. Of course having a tool greatly helped.
I think most of the coconut commenters are just giving him tips on how to consume coconut water in a potentially better way, if he had the option in the future :)
Iaorana (Bonjour)Xander Thank you for this amazing video. Surviving in tropical islands seems easier than you thought...You are Lucky to be in an island where there are coconut trees. This tree offers you life. Eating nuts, drinking water, building hut with leaves...Hope you will find also tropical fruit trees inside the island. Hope as well you will make a mat with coconut leaves, you need practice for that. Here are some advices : 1-Not drinking too much coconut water, more you drink more you will never be satisfied. 2-Make fire smoke to distant mosquitos 3-Use Hermite crabs to catch fish. Big friendly hugs from Tahiti French Polynesia. Have a good and safe trip stunning Xander.😊
Well it literally is a survivorman clone. All these camping channels are. Not that I'm knocking him, just saying, Les should be getting a commission lol.
coconuts are known for giving diahrea bro. you have been drinking WAY too many of those. you really shouldnt be drinking more than 3 of those in a day because it will definitely run right thru you. also, next time use the land to your advantage. the crabs like the coconuts at night. set a pit full of the coconuts and collect the crabs for a nice breakfast. also instead of the sea water, use green foilage for the inside of the bottles. they produce much more water when the sun heats them up and wont give you a salty taste haha. and of course never eat a fish if ur not sure what kind it is. the wrong one can be your last!
Learn to make a fish trap, its easy. Make two cone-shaped baskets with that rope and sticks by sharpening the entery end on the smaller cone leaving the bottom open so fish can enter and obviously the smaller cone must be open on both ends. The larger cone is closed at the small end and open at the large end. Insert the smaller cone inside the larger basket cone and fit them tightly. Put food/bait in the basket with a rock and rope attached. Drop the basket/fish trapand you will never go hungry. Also, learn desalination. You have a fire and plenty of trash, use it.
You might think thats a good trap but its not. You might get a single fish if your lucky its a good way for like longer term staying on the island but its better to survive on coconuts if its 5 days
Fishing with bait and hook is way more productive then a fish trap. Unless it’s a large cage trap that can hold a lot of fish. The cone trap you’re talking about won’t hold a lot of fish and it takes awhile to make. Most likely would waste more energy making it than the calories you’d gain from the fish caught.
I've watched so many videos of yours in the past few weeks youve quickly become my favorite wilderness you tube channels. I think what puts you ahead of other youtubers is the SOUND. You really let nature shine and the quality is so crisp. Looking forward to more awesome videos, much love dude.
This is like abstinence from every shit that's happening around the city and this experience will surely make him appreciate little things around him a little more. Kudos to you Xander!
GREEN COCONUT are the ONES for DRINKING, because they’re freshly n more drinking water, also nicely soft coconut to eat. We do not eat/drink the brown coconuts, they’re mature and not much JUICE unless we use them for other purposes/cooking etc, so forth,😊
Here in Portugal we eat snails in the summer. You wash them in running water, then put them inside a boiling Pan with water for 10 minutes. After that you cook them for about 10 minutes in low heatt. Then you want to add salt, a bouillon chicken cube, crushed garlic with the bark, chopped onion, oregano leaves, Bay leaf. Increase the heat, as the water start to boil keep that way for 5 minutes. Just keep taking out the foam it gets. Know you can eat this with beer so good!
Those crabs that appeared at the 1:14 mark should have been captured and eaten. They migrate more actively on full Moons and could no longer ignore all those Coconuts you were stacking up. They've been in the sand, but you need to find different breeds of crab that dig in during the incoming tides. I kept waiting for you to have diarrhea (1:17) from eating so many Coconuts (60+ in 2.5 days). The Sand Flies are a horror show... you definitely have heart and soul to endure 5 days/nights with them. Good to see your videos again, Xander. I've watched almost all of them in the past... but I need to decompress from these troubling times as well. Congrat's on committing to Meditation, X. It will be 38 years on Thanksgiving and I still haven't missed a morning prayer, meditation, and yoga day. Namaste.
I feel like the only time I have a true escape from everything negative in my life is when I watch these videos it’s the only time I feel relaxed when I feel like nothing I watch xander. Thank you
Coconut water is a diuretic, so while it does have a bunch of nutrients (though not all the nutrients you need), it isn't sustainable for long-term hydration. For that, you likely need to find a freshwater source you can pot and boil or create a solar still to convert seawater to drinkable water, both of which are easier said than done. As for nutrients, if you add cooked clams or crabs and seaweed to your coconut diet that should satisfy the full repertoire of nutrients your body needs to survive indefinitely. Finally, just as a general rule for survival: never sweat more than you can afford. Always try to figure out how to do the most you can with the least amount of work. Our strength as humans is in our brains first and our persistence second.
The body gets adapted to coconut water in survival situations. In my view, coconut water becomes the perfect survival food & drink, after the body adapts from eating processed modern foods/products/etc. Initially, coconut water rinses out the intestines of old junk, it's important to keep perspectives, as the body will be adjusting from modern foods/drinks. After the body let's go of old waste rinsed by the coconut water, then the body can acclimate to utilizing the coconut water hydration etc. Many of the "concepts" society shares about health and survival are full of distorted misinformation. In general, when humans are suddenly put into survival mode, the body often goes through a cleansing process, where it let's go of old waste - can include diarrhea, fevers, etc as the body let's go of old toxic modern addictive processed foods & products. A living body is always in adaptive transition with its changing environment
Or make a fresh water source. if beach combing for supplies didn't turn upuseful items, that blanket would have worked with some cordage as an evaporator/solar still to make fresh water.
I love how he washes up to shore and acts totally surprised and then is like, "Welp, time to get my gear" and walks over and grabs a full backpack and a kit lol
@motoman2428 I’m joking about how he makes it seem like he randomly washed up on shore with his gear totally intact and sitting next to him. Relax. I like his videos.
@motoman2428 for sure,,, first thing he pulls is a machete🤣 all cam gear... how could u believe that if he pulls a 3 hand out of his bag? My thoughts on this .. if u have a knife like this its called camping 🙂 but okay hes not the only one call it survive^^
I prefer this kind of videos than some people doing pranks. This dude is amazing living in a island without foods, getting injured is by no means ordinary. His persistent and courage to do this is very admirable. I love how the video is no filter just pure natural.
The resorts I've been to have them on ice in canoes. They actually crack them open and just hand them to you with a straw in it. No limit 🤷 lol... They're limiting your alcohol 😅
34:43, the problem you had with the morakniv is how the blades are forged. They are forged in a mass-producing press that press out the blade out of a shape, meaning they have the same strength throughout the blade. The edge is as strong as the spine. A hand forged blade will be a lot more beaten and compacted on the edge making them extremely sharp and durable. Got this advice from my blacksmithing instructor of 16 years.

Hey man. Just watched this. You knowing you only had 5 days surely made this mentally easier but, your knowledge saved you. I may have eaten that fruit. So glad you showed that. Now I know to be vigilant in my journeys if ever I share a circumstance as this.
Another awesome video, Xander! I have to say a huge WOW to all the plastic that washed up on that beach. The amount of junk we have polluted our oceans with is absolutely appalling. I love how conscientious you are about not harming the environment when you do these trips. Well done to you!
Xander, thank you so much. I stumbled upon your channel a few weeks ago and I have to say, I think you're one of the most talented content creators out there. There's something so calming, genuine and pure about you and your videos even though your editing, camera angles and drone shots are phenomenal and professional. Keep on doing what you do and thank you so much for delivering these amazing pieces of art ❤
Tip for coconut. Remove the husk after drinking the water. Then roast it. It will produce some oil. Put oil on skin. Instant moisturizer and insect repellent

Felt like 1 and a half hours of watching him cutting coconuts open though.
@@LSFD7 yes lol chop chop chop chop chop chop lol
Yep
My primary takeaway from this video is simply how much time and effort it takes a "primitive man" to simply not die. You spend the majority of your waking moments just trying to get water and food and not be killed by the elements. Quite amazing and a real testament to how impactful the concept of cultivating plants and animals was. Without that, we'd still all be scrabbling for the basics.
Agreed
With tools.
One needs to realize just how lucky our ancestors were to survive in ancient times with just bare hands sticks n stones
@@johnfranktullo3463 you underestimate our ancestors and our potential, it was not "lucky". like those that say humans without guns are nothing. we killed mamooths with spears for fks sake, there is no luck involved.
@@XxvoleistulxX true but what was the ratio ? What was the end effect yes u had meat but u had lots of injuries and death
My favorite part about these is how after a few days you have so clearly been alone and kind of are in a minor way losing your mind. It is very entertaining because you stay so positive.
Got to be the best intro ever haha
Great performance 🎭
Now he just need a buzz cut and some military training lol
Classic Xander
Great intro. How you gonna top it
He was acting his ass off and we loved it
From a Canadian- Caribbean Island boy, seeing you use the bamboo to pick the coconuts made me smile as it's how we get them in the Caribbean. Just one piece of advice for the future. We attach a blade to the end of the stick to cut them (and other fruits) down from the tree(s). Thanks for the vid budz.
My favourite survival content is "island with nothing surviving" but you made me love "geared camping/surviving" but this that you do my favourite content and its YOU, MY GOD you are the BEST❤
tips with the coconut, when its heavy its right and ripen means it has thin meat but has more water and sweet, but if its almost the same size but light that means its quite old, brown just means very old and more lighter, the lighter the coconut the thicker meat it has, when its ligher and has thicker meat it means it has less water in it and might also have less sweeter taste. coming from an islander myself.
Underrated comment. Thanks for the the knowledge!
Drinking too much coconut water can cause diarrhea in some people. Coconut water is high in potassium, which can lead to an electrolyte imbalance and diarrhea if consumed in excess. Coconut water also contains fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols (FODMAPs), which are short-chain carbohydrates that can cause digestive issues like diarrhea.
In the beginning of drinking only coconut water lets say for survival, the electrolytes can cause a top down colonic rinsing out the small/large intestines. It's important to keep perspectives on things. After the intestines clean out old processed food/etc, the body can optimize its use of the coconut water & the body's digestion will adapt to the coconut water electrolytes.
True
I agree, coconut water can cause all these symptoms, it is much better to die of thirst or in this case drink sand
So too many powerade and Gatorade can cause diarrhea due to high electrolytes? Would explain why I rarely had a solid one while playing football, that and all the protein shakes mixed with raw eggs and chocolate milk of course
Guess he never watched Castaway. Tom Hanks taught us about surviving on coconuts.
I love my boy Xander. Drinks 90 coconuts over the course of three days and thinks the reason he has stomach problems is he may have accidentally had some fresh sushi.
Your videos are next level my man. Starting to remind me of Survivorman.
There’s no evidence than coconut water is bad for you or causes diarrhea
yah the magnesium content in cocwater will mess up your shits for sure
haha at the start of the video I remember hearing some where to much coconut can cause diarrhea esp if eating them too. But I'll admit I thought it was the fish that caused the runs.
Yeah, raw meat isn't going to hurt you at all if it's from a natural healthy animal. I've been eating raw animal foods for years and I've never been sick a single time.
If I was in his position I'd have ate at least one of those fishes raw, there's actually more nutrients in it raw than there is cooked. I also just prefer raw meat but yeah.
@@psychedelaholicLmao this is the worst take I've ever seen.
Those crabs will be talking about you for years: "Remember when that Canadian guy showed up and chucked out all of those perfectly good coconuts?"
"Remember? I've still got some of the coconut in my freezer".

THE CRABS WERE SO CUTE! so many things to say about this video but the crabs MADE me comment
I love how on the first night he just keeps laying down on the bed and getting up and drinking tons of coconut water
For me it was just annoying to watch. Either go to bed or drink your coconuts, make up your mind

That is what UA-cam should be all about... the algorithm took me here and I was amazed. You're serious figuring out survival stuff but still you are funny in the same time. Much respect, man!
If you enjoyed this, check out on UA-cam, "the island with bear grylls". Its a TV show about survival that took place on this same island, just a few years earlier.
It's a great channel. Xander has a great art of observing and participating in nature.

Survival? this dude will die if this is real scenario
Xander! Please film yourself going back home as well! Would be so cool to see how much of a change it was and how much you appreciate your actual home. Fantastic video though!
I really admire his ability to survive. It seems like no matter where you throw him, he can survive. 😍
You did a great job surviving on an island for 5 days without anything but limited tools...Coconut for 5 days is what makes you a survivor...I'm a fan from the Philippines💯💪
Penge Biko.
Those little crabs and ants are the most happiest ones...and really thankful to you more than your subscribers. They wont forget you ever in their life for such a treat you have given to them. A lot of sweet opened coconuts !!!
Why is this better than a movie? It’s so relaxing at the same time
41:48 someone know this sound or how many frequence? please this such my brain
@@muhammadhamzah6603what
yes yes, usually when you find yourself on an island alone, you always have a machete and a flashlight... batteries included
@@bananabringer9109Yeah, actually. Those would be pretty common items to have on a ship or boat. Something similar to a machete at least.
@SMAIYLKA 👋👍✌
"You have to cook the coconut by burning it, it will be very delicious. By peeling off some of the skin and burning the whole thing, it's really amazing. You should try it at least once."

I love the big outdoors, but life with a multi handicapped child is restrictive to say the least.. but being able to take a few short breaks here and there with our regality and being able to watch your great content Xander is refreshing. please, never stop what you are doing. you are not only entertaining but also a safe haven for people like me :)
best regard from Norway
Coconuts, like if you have more than four or so, are a natural laxative. Enjoy having your system purged! Great video, full movie length!
I was just going to post this. I got a little worried when he said that coconuts were going to be his main source of food and water, because I had a feeling this was going to happen!
Coconut Budnick
I was thinking the same thing lol.
Mainly the coconut flesh he ate causes that, not the water.
But that's not a bad thing doh
UA-camr Field Days myth-busted that.
Coconuts contain potassium. Which make it a mild laxative if consumed in large amounts.
Yeah I seen dude eating all those coconuts and was wondering when the squirts were gonna hit lol
I’m sure he was shitting pretty good
Congratulation, you're the first person I've ever seen successfully drilling a fire with material from the place (+paracord). I know, it's harder than it looks. Love your videos
In Australia we also call a Trigger Fish a Leather Jacket. Best way to get to the meat is to peel the leather off / skin it. From the head to the tail. Pretty simple once you know how. Awesome video and good to see you exploring outside of your own backyard (Canada).
Yea leather jackets good eating just skinning them is pain in the butt
@@matt948 Very good eating, I used to make sure they were super dry, easier to grip when skinning.
That was insane Xander! I always thought the show “Survivor” should be more about your adventure and less about stabbing each other in the back. I figured you’d elevate your sleeping off of the earth due to the crabs and pests but you did alright. I think your stomach issues were less about the fish and more about the coconuts. Glad you brought us along for the adventure!
Yeah coconut make you go bathroom
@@terryhuggins9199 It's just indigestible fiber.
Are you simple? 18 coconuts in one day??!! 😂 this dude's videos are an absolute lie
@@adamnolton388 Why do you say that? Have you seen his other videos?
@@adamnolton388this guy is legit lmao
I usually don't leave comments on UA-cam videos, but this one was a masterpiece. I love watching your videos while having brunch or before falling asleep, since the music you use and the scenery you capture are mesmerizing. However, this one kept me awake for the entire length.
Your tenacity is infectious. You showed how hard and how important water is in the outdoors. Loved this episode. Still laughing about the beginning scene of you floating in the water...Classic!
Your humor is fantastic Xander. Thanks again!
stepping up the camping game....dont let the tropics fool anyone...it can be harsh if you dont know how to fend properly. I was born and raised in Tonga...I watch you call coconuts ripe.... the ripe ones are the old ones. the young ones are the sweeter ones...typically heavier too. Great stuff my friend..!
Walk the entire island before climbing a tree for coconuts. You will find a source without having to climb. Coconuts for hydration is a last resort. If coconuts are too young or old the milk becomes a diuretic. Shake the coconut if there is no sound drink, if you hear it slosh only eat the meat. The best way to find water is to travel to the woodline past the beach and dig a hole. The water may taste brackish but it is safe to drink. Wiseman, John (2014). SAS Survival Handbook: The Ultimate Guide to Surviving Anywhere (3rd ed.).
how deep to find enough water for a full day
@@Willinox your answer is sea level plus one foot deep for a two foot wide hole.
The explanation of how to find better sources of water, will peak your interest, how natural springs work. It's worth the read.
could create you a distiller with heated rocks, 2 coconuts and a plastic bag bro. surviving is easy if people use technology like plastics. even if u didnt have the plastic bag the reeds can be twisted into a tube formation very very very easily.
That book :D
Cold have had crab soup
i love how most of the comments mentions about him talking about coconuts. i mean you cant blame the guy its the only resource he can easily get to
Nope I strongly disagree...he has DINNER ... PROTEIN ALL AROUND HIM... EVEN DELIVERING ITSELF TO HIM "
Clearly you haven't watched real survivalists. They dig holes and make make shift plastic films using leaves with trash they find to make magnifying glasses to heat leaves in a dirt pit during the day which condensates and drips water and they bring zero equipment other than a camera. This dudes a los*r
@@WendyMeads the coconut problem seams to be mainly because of water needs, not food or protein
@user-yj6io8tm5k WATER is the main priority, its contained within Coconuts, .......
Coco co coco coco cocoooocoonat 😂😂😂
The moon crabs swarming with the full moon was a sight to see.
Imagine someone actually ends up deserted on this island and sees all the coconuts already cut open😂
Genio, abuso del recurso
A tip from me, its easier to open cocomut from the side, just make a V cut and you need 4-6 swing.
The side is not as thick as the top or bottom of coconut
i watched a guy open and drink coconuts for 1:36:30
and you loved it
haha😂
My favorite part about this guy is he doesnt do all the 'i am a professional' theatrics. Sure, he knows exactly what hes doing, but hes just a normal guy with a passion for this stuff. A lot more enjoyable than some of the other guys. You and Outdoor Boys are the GOATS of this sphere. Props for doing what 99% of us could never do

Oh hell yeah 5 minutes after I wake up this drops. What a great way to start my Saturday morning.
SAME thing bro, thats sooooo good
Better than Sat. morning cartoons!!! 😁
Why are you online 5 min after waking?
one of the best video i have ever seen!! i just love the place . i can feel the dude’s feelings after leaving the place where he experienced a lots. the shelter he made ,the coconut leftovers , the snails, fish ,the fire he lit ,leaving all behind,he surely missed the place after getting home .
The drone footage of the sea birds flocking and swirling around is magical.
I don't recall him mentioning that he was also carrying a drone
tip for future: eating too much coconut can give you indigestion and you shouldn't rely on it as your only food source
You can also get pretty bad diarrhea from it as well.
It's also really high in potassium, if you drink and eat only this for a couple weeks your heart won't like it.
Also, the fat requires a LOT of water to digest (much more water than the coconut itself contains) and can further dehydrate you
This frustrating bc it’s such a misnomer. Most people can digest coconut water just fine and won’t get diarrhea or excess urination even after eating all those coconuts. Most people’s kidneys can handle the potassium compounds
@@PatrickCWaltersit's only old coconuts that give you that
a simple tip on cooking the trigger fish. the fish has natural thick skin so it doesn't need scaling and you can put it directly on the hot coals without wrapping it. in that way, the flesh from the inside will be cooked properly. you don't have to worry about burning the skin because it isn't edible after all.
For climbing I recommend making notches in the tree with the machete and sticking small planks into the notches as steps
1 hour in and I must say, this was more realistic than some of those surviving videos. The comments about drinking coconut water is just annoying, because they insist on making you be like the other videos.
They go right to fires and fishing before even touching on basics like you did, just ensuring you have some kind of hydration. Thats realistic as it gets. Of course having a tool greatly helped.
I think most of the coconut commenters are just giving him tips on how to consume coconut water in a potentially better way, if he had the option in the future :)
You can't subsist solely on coconut water.
The algorithm just pop this up to me and i immediately watch it. Now I'm invested onto watching more videos from thos channel.
Me too
Iaorana (Bonjour)Xander
Thank you for this amazing video. Surviving in tropical islands seems easier than you thought...You are Lucky to be in an island where there are coconut trees. This tree offers you life. Eating nuts, drinking water, building hut with leaves...Hope you will find also tropical fruit trees inside the island. Hope as well you will make a mat with coconut leaves, you need practice for that. Here are some advices : 1-Not drinking too much coconut water, more you drink more you will never be satisfied. 2-Make fire smoke to distant mosquitos 3-Use Hermite crabs to catch fish. Big friendly hugs from Tahiti French Polynesia. Have a good and safe trip stunning Xander.😊
TFP sooo beautiful!!
I am coconut producer and drink ONLY coconuts (from 6 to 10 every day): absolutly no any problèm (and I am not alone to do this)
@@thaiinfranceReally !!! It depends of the sort of coconut and how u drink it. Look at Xander how many coconuts He has drunk to be satisfied...
Xander gives his 200% always. This is real survival. He risked it all and came out unscathed.

High quality coconutting
coconuts are known for giving diahrea bro. you have been drinking WAY too many of those. you really shouldnt be drinking more than 3 of those in a day because it will definitely run right thru you. also, next time use the land to your advantage. the crabs like the coconuts at night. set a pit full of the coconuts and collect the crabs for a nice breakfast. also instead of the sea water, use green foilage for the inside of the bottles. they produce much more water when the sun heats them up and wont give you a salty taste haha. and of course never eat a fish if ur not sure what kind it is. the wrong one can be your last!
Learn to make a fish trap, its easy. Make two cone-shaped baskets with that rope and sticks by sharpening the entery end on the smaller cone leaving the bottom open so fish can enter and obviously the smaller cone must be open on both ends. The larger cone is closed at the small end and open at the large end. Insert the smaller cone inside the larger basket cone and fit them tightly. Put food/bait in the basket with a rock and rope attached. Drop the basket/fish trapand you will never go hungry. Also, learn desalination. You have a fire and plenty of trash, use it.
You might think thats a good trap but its not. You might get a single fish if your lucky its a good way for like longer term staying on the island but its better to survive on coconuts if its 5 days
Fishing with bait and hook is way more productive then a fish trap. Unless it’s a large cage trap that can hold a lot of fish. The cone trap you’re talking about won’t hold a lot of fish and it takes awhile to make. Most likely would waste more energy making it than the calories you’d gain from the fish caught.
Ya super easy
Everyone, gather 'round to watch Xander's hunt for the elusive wild coconut! What a fun adventure and I'm excited to see more stuff like this.
I've watched so many videos of yours in the past few weeks youve quickly become my favorite wilderness you tube channels. I think what puts you ahead of other youtubers is the SOUND. You really let nature shine and the quality is so crisp. Looking forward to more awesome videos, much love dude.
This is like abstinence from every shit that's happening around the city and this experience will surely make him appreciate little things around him a little more. Kudos to you Xander!
MORE OF THIS!!! I could watch this style stuff for hours. Literally. Survivorman type stuff is by far best.
Try looking at field days, he does this kind of stuff
GREEN COCONUT are the ONES for DRINKING, because they’re freshly n more drinking water, also nicely soft coconut to eat. We do not eat/drink the brown coconuts, they’re mature and not much JUICE unless we use them for other purposes/cooking etc, so forth,😊
Here in Portugal we eat snails in the summer. You wash them in running water, then put them inside a boiling Pan with water for 10 minutes. After that you cook them for about 10 minutes in low heatt.
Then you want to add salt, a bouillon chicken cube, crushed garlic with the bark, chopped onion, oregano leaves, Bay leaf.
Increase the heat, as the water start to boil keep that way for 5 minutes. Just keep taking out the foam it gets.
Know you can eat this with beer so good!
Those crabs that appeared at the 1:14 mark should have been captured and eaten. They migrate more actively on full Moons and could no longer ignore all those Coconuts you were stacking up. They've been in the sand, but you need to find different breeds of crab that dig in during the incoming tides. I kept waiting for you to have diarrhea (1:17) from eating so many Coconuts (60+ in 2.5 days). The Sand Flies are a horror show... you definitely have heart and soul to endure 5 days/nights with them. Good to see your videos again, Xander. I've watched almost all of them in the past... but I need to decompress from these troubling times as well. Congrat's on committing to Meditation, X. It will be 38 years on Thanksgiving and I still haven't missed a morning prayer, meditation, and yoga day. Namaste.
I feel like the only time I have a true escape from everything negative in my life is when I watch these videos it’s the only time I feel relaxed when I feel like nothing I watch xander. Thank you
Coconut water is a diuretic, so while it does have a bunch of nutrients (though not all the nutrients you need), it isn't sustainable for long-term hydration. For that, you likely need to find a freshwater source you can pot and boil or create a solar still to convert seawater to drinkable water, both of which are easier said than done.
As for nutrients, if you add cooked clams or crabs and seaweed to your coconut diet that should satisfy the full repertoire of nutrients your body needs to survive indefinitely.
Finally, just as a general rule for survival: never sweat more than you can afford. Always try to figure out how to do the most you can with the least amount of work. Our strength as humans is in our brains first and our persistence second.
The body gets adapted to coconut water in survival situations. In my view, coconut water becomes the perfect survival food & drink, after the body adapts from eating processed modern foods/products/etc. Initially, coconut water rinses out the intestines of old junk, it's important to keep perspectives, as the body will be adjusting from modern foods/drinks. After the body let's go of old waste rinsed by the coconut water, then the body can acclimate to utilizing the coconut water hydration etc. Many of the "concepts" society shares about health and survival are full of distorted misinformation. In general, when humans are suddenly put into survival mode, the body often goes through a cleansing process, where it let's go of old waste - can include diarrhea, fevers, etc as the body let's go of old toxic modern addictive processed foods & products. A living body is always in adaptive transition with its changing environment
@SMAIYLKA
Or make a fresh water source. if beach combing for supplies didn't turn upuseful items, that blanket would have worked with some cordage as an evaporator/solar still to make fresh water.

The coconut water is causing your tummy issues. Caribbean resorts actually limit pina coladas due the diarrhetic effects.
The resorts I've been to have them on ice in canoes. They actually crack them open and just hand them to you with a straw in it. No limit 🤷 lol... They're limiting your alcohol 😅
haha sure, don't drink too much cocktail now, the coconut water could cause problems. Oh alcohol？whats that?
Just watched the full thing. This was amazing. Such a good vid (as usual). This may be your best yet.
34:43, the problem you had with the morakniv is how the blades are forged. They are forged in a mass-producing press that press out the blade out of a shape, meaning they have the same strength throughout the blade. The edge is as strong as the spine. A hand forged blade will be a lot more beaten and compacted on the edge making them extremely sharp and durable. Got this advice from my blacksmithing instructor of 16 years.
in our country we carve mini steps on the trunk of the coconut trees so we can get a better grip on our foot
when climbing.
Wouldn't that hurt the tree? just wondering
@@dennisbagatin4480 not really since it dries up quickly and it doesnt release any sap, the steps were not that deep its just so your feet could get a better grip. its 1-2
