Two close friends head for the Amazon rain forest and get lost in the jungle. They have to survive the dangers of the jungle and hold on to sanity as they find their way home.
Such a shame they didn't pack up a survival kit and a brain! Who the heck goes into an immense rainforest with no guides and no satellite radio? This is totally survivable. Aborigines live in the outback of Australia. That is larger than this little forest. It's the size of Europe. There is nothing at all in the outback except more dangerous animals than anywhere else on earth.
So what was in his rucksack? The compass, the camera and a little bit of water? Not even a first aid kit, insect repellent, snacks, a jacket ...?? After 2 years of planning that's what they came up with? 🤔 I have more stuff in my handbag when I just go to the corner shop ... Very odd
Dave was lost in more ways than one. Crystal says "we" decided not to get back together. Dave says "she" decided not to get back together. Poor Dave, he's still lost and still heading south.
As someone who hikes MODERATELY it blows my mind that people with little to no environmental awareness/hiking experience trust themselves in a place like the rainforest without a guide. So lucky to be alive.
Yes i am also surprised. Its somehow proves, that most of these catastrophic events happened by very stupid attitude and decisions and stupid planning without any imaginations of the risks, in the first place.
The western world is so naive to nature....staggeringly naive. Who in their right mind would take a 3 hour hike in the dense rainforest like it ain’t no thang smh 🤦🏼♀️
The western world aren’t idiots to survival. These types of people live all over the world because they live in cities were they don’t have to survive. I don’t get why everyone thinks the western world people are stupid. When not everyone here is stupid. I find it hard to believe that any person who likes to hike even thinks that they can survive long term just because they are on a man made trial. Many people who hike actually do not actively practice using the environment and your tools in the backpack for survival. I know for a fact they don’t practice it. Go out and ask someone who hikes and not on the comment section so they can look it up. Ask a random person how they can make a fire without a lighter when the environment is wet like the rain forest. I bet they only can give you one way and when you ask for a demonstration they cut do that one thing. Starting fires with the environment that you see around you is a lot harder then it looks and does require practice.
I think its lack of a clear picture of the sizes involved. The size of the rainforest, the size of the danger, the size of thier own ignorance, the size of their own vulnerability....
They researched the Amazon for two years, yet weren’t sure if they could drink the water. These two are lucky to have survived life, in general, much less the damn Amazon.
@@Holy.HannaH Yup, if only their 'research' was about practical things like basic survival as much as things they wanted. Gosh come to think of it I wouldn't let these two near a stove even with the fire brigade next door.😂
Just a tip for people reading this comment: if you ever get lost in the woods STOP the second you realize that you're lost. Don't ever try to find the way back or your way out. People will come looking for you and you will be found if you don't walk further. This might save your life one day. Stay safe folks
@@mimosa27 that occurred in 1972, there were no mobile phones, no distress beacon or modern technology on board of planes at that time, which explains why they couldn’t be located. The only way to find them was an aerial search, but the plane was white and half buried into the snow. Plus, the weather conditions over the Andes were very dangerous for the type of searching aircrafts they had back in the time, and, as it was mid winter, they considered no one could’ve ever survived a single night in such a harsh environment, so they couldn’t see any point in keeping the search going on. One of the survivors said that you have more chance of surviving in the jungle than in high mountain
@@mimosa27 I’m really interested about that story actually, and I’ve read Piers Paul Read’s book as well. I hope one day I’ll travel to Argentina and hike to the crash site, or even better, attend to a live speech by Nando Parrado or Roberto Canessa
Same. I think we have the sanctuary of our own safety and that allows us to listen to a horrific story of someone else's plight. Knowing the end will be good at least but, we can experience their fear also.
"shes been three days without her antidepressants, she may become depressed again at anytime"... i think that would happen the moment she realized they were lost
Lol this really did make me laugh. Forgetting the map is one thing and if he found his way back without it he may have succeeded in getting her back. But then deciding to go in the OPPOSITE direction... he's lucky he's even in the friend zone and not having his car keyed and then ghosted 😆
@@EarJuice So you threw away a good friendship for no reason other than you wanted to date or nothing. To the point she was upset to lose the friendship. Friendship with women is not a runner up prize or “being kept around” but your loss I guess. Sounds like you lost big.
rasta man : Didnt thought that way, rasta way. But you could be right : maybe he ''forgot'' the map on purpose ... It also would explain why he didnt forgot the camera. He maybe wanted to get lost on purpose - and then he plays the ''hero'' who can remember the map ,and safes his ''love'' , and makes a cool foto of that moment. Its also explains his confessions (while lost) to her ''love'' : that ''when this thing is over, he wants to marry her. He probably also used her depressions in the first place, to get the girl. But than in the rainforest everything went south ... literally south xD
Because only the stupid people are on these type of shows, Others actually know what they're doing that's why they're not on I shouldn't be alive lol 🤣
I have been in dense tropical forest. live not too far from one. if off trail just 50 meters, could be extremely disorienting. First thing if you are lost though, make a spear. If night coming, climb a suitable tree and brace yourself. make fire for insects.
2 months in the Amazon is crazy. My mother in law and a group of her friends go on lots of trips and they decided a week in the Amazon like this. They were begging their guides to take them back early by the 2nd night and paid them extra to do so.they couldn’t believe how crazy it got at night.
For real! Everything was "they were attacked by a pack of wild pigs, Crystal's depression gets the best of her" lmfao like wheres the correlation?! You can tell the show is old cause they clearly had no real understanding of depression 🤦🏽♂️😭
Because when you have depression you have no motivation to do anything and loose the will and hope to live and if u don’t have the will to live or any hope in that situation your fucked
Why didn't they turn around at the beginning when they realized they were off the trail, just go back the way you came, they weren't to far from the arrow marker.
Armchair survivalist here. It's city people/tourists not recognizing a game trail from a broken human trail. The trails are quite convincing at some points, but they obviously narrow and wind where a human path wouldn't. Hard for me to personally imagine but the majority of people lack that common sense. Hard to say since we weren't in that situation.I'm quite curious on why they didn't follow the game trail back or why they left it all together.
That's why I'm starting to think maybe there's something they are not saying. Because I refuse to believe someone can be this directionally challenged. Even my young children watching this started saying "why aren't they going back the other way?"
Ok, I am 11 minutes and 31 seconds in the show and just want to see if I am getting this right. So... They walked a couple of hours when they realised that they are lost. Guy says "let's go South 'cause that's where home is!". Then they walk all bloody day, they are still not at the hut but (for some strange reason) the guy keeps thinking that South is the right direction even though it is clearly not. Sooo clearly not! I mean wtf?! He seems like a nice guy but he isn't the sharpest tool in the box.
South was the correct way 2 go but this fool 4got the map and when he drew the map on the ground, the hut was 2 his north. In reality, the hut was 2 the south but since the map on the ground was backwards, he tought south it is...inky 2 get in deeper and deeper. ..lost... Fool I tell u...
I’m from that region and what happen sometimes is the smell of an type of vine in the jungle that is in the air when temperature change and when you breathe it you start loosing the sense of route and thinking and that is when you get into trouble.
Ok as someone who hikes really frequently, I can tell right away when I’ve left the main trail, Because.... it doesn’t look like the main trail anymore, lol. And say you do hit a side trail by accident, and it slowly gets more dense, you just turn around and follow the side path you followed in until you hit the main trail again. And once they started going the wrong direction and figured they should’ve been there by now, youre not supposed to keep going!!!! youre supposed to realize “oh, we went the wrong direction, let’s backtrack the distance we just traveled and we should end up where we should”.
@@mrsinkzn that’s why you prepare for these situations before hand. That’s why you do training exercises and problem solving practices before hand. That’s why people study and train and practice in any given activity especially high stress and dangerous situations (emergency services, combat sports, sports, motor sports, anything competitive, anything with danger). Especially navigation and trekking you must be prepared before hand. Fail to prepare; prepare to fail. Why does entering any dangerous worksite require prior training ? Because it prepares you to succeed in moments of shit hitting the fan. I’ve gone off course once or twice. How did I recover? Because I premeditated steps and processes that will help lead me back to safety. Like having a map and knowing how to use it (first you must practice using a map before knowing how to use it). Understanding the area you are in and studying it before hand, your life may depend on that studying. Knowing what actions will make your situation worse and what actions will increase your chances of survival. These are all things (amongst much much much more) one should learn, to minimize risk and maximize safety. Survival mode? Your comment is just using that as a scapegoat. Replace survival mode with “not prepared”. If they thought of that then they would’ve been prepared, is what I think you mean to say
He had a knife he should’ve marked trees the moment he thought they were lost so if they got turned around they could have something they left to look for to know they was in the direction they came from until they got back to a arrow trail marker they were familiar with
I was thinking that, too. Also, not to be gross, but why weren’t they drinking their own urine instead of that sketchy, murky jungle water? At least you know there’s no parasites in it.
I remember reading about this story 20yrs ago because they were in town and going to be on the show. There was an update a few years ago about what they're up to. Last night something reminded me of it and it finally hit me(way later than it should have) he was my kid's fucking teacher hahaha
I could see the pain in Dave's eyes when he just wanted to marry her after being rescued. Unfortunately she denied. I've had this experience myself so I can feel his pain. I hope he finds someone who loves him as much as he loved her
it was trauma bonding. and the fact he pussed out and wanted to die and got them lost showed he was not a good man (provider, calming force, strong, etc). she made the right choice but she should have recognized it much earlier and probably was lying to herself about a lot of things.
Agree ! Super nice guy and she has her issues with depression. He was willing to go with the flow and overlook that, yet she rejects him. Move on Dave.
No emergency pack, no gun or a form of protection side from a dinky knife,no map or any idea what’s where...even after researching the amazon rainforest for 2 years?! Wow. Update. 18 minutes in and all I can think of is a part of a episode of spongebob...east? I thought you said weast 🤣
Also how do you walk off the trail and suddenly your lost, they decided to bang in the forest, got off the trail as there was a chimp watching, got lost.
@@skarecrowster they werent suddenly lost, they were 7 miles off the trail before they realized ... they were lost. how can you retrace your steps if you dont know which direction you came from? and lastly, the guy thought they had been hiking north the entire time so he thought by going south they were headed back to the cabin.
Not that I would ever go to the jungle, but this show has really taught me, NEVER GO TO THE JUNGLE. and also if you ever get lost in the forest, JUST STAY WHERE YOU ARE.
Yup- 1. Don't go 2. Seriously. Do not go. 3. If you just insist on going, and you get lost, stop. That bout says it all. Master rule number 1, you won't even need 2 and 3.
I spent a number of years in the Amazon jungle of Peru and Ecuador between the ages of 5 and 15 and loved it. It's safer than most US cities, believe me.
@@jasbirjassi5306 They did that in order to stay awake for the first night since they knew that there were just too many small noises to simply shrug off as mere environmental sounds rather than predators walking around them.
@Andrew Stack good for you. Good job on being so cautious about everything. They arent becauss they got complacent. It's a common occurence so dont pass off judgement as if what they did was next level stupid stuff. They forgot things. We all do
For every two ppl that survived, its hard to imagine how many ppl have not had luck on their side. Note: Never take stupid decisions in an unknown terrain.
Once they saw the trail disappearing they should’ve made their way back, I know they were busy admiring the place around them, but how irresponsible can u be in such a foreign area. 🤦🏽♀️
No they should NEVER have gone in at all without a GUIDE. I know educated folks who have gone more than once and ALWAYS ALWAYS have an experienced guide.
I don’t get it, who laid down the map facing south? in the video, it says it is not laid down the usual way, he did? Then I agree with you, what an idiot.
@@sipapito the video doesn't specify who made the map, but whoever did should have specified the orientation and Dave should have brought it, as well as an actual map of the area, with him. One of many smart decisions he chose not to make in favor of dumb ones.
I have made peace w my lack of ability to follow directions. We have to been lost & I give him the decision reins without discussing it w me. I'm better at finances so I handle all that.
This guy dodged two bullets; the Amazon and depressed Suzy who blamed everything on him when she’s just as responsible. Hope he finds a nice, non-medicated girlfriend
This part struck me as weird as well. Usually, when you skip a dose or two (most SSRI meds), depression doesn't just set in. Mostly you get brain zaps etc., then you feel more aware and alert... Idk, sounds like the producers put a spin on this.
I don't think they know how depression works.....or just regular emotions. Lost in the woods with a guy you friend zoned would make anyone feel a little crazy.
The Drug of... I'm now the one on the depression drugs because this girl promised me we'd get married if we made it out so I didn't kill myself and now that she broke up with me I totally regret chosing life.
everybody always says what they would do in this kind of scenario. you do realize when panic sets in, some people don’t respond as easily. i’ve gotten lost in the woods for hours, trying to retrace my steps. it’s hard. everything looks the same.
@@Dopaaamine27 I agree but in this case what these people did was just plain retardedness time after time ! As in not retracing your steps instead they kept moving forward, then went to try north east south and west like what!?!?! these people were not the brightest
Yeah it might be hard but it is all about being prepared. If you are going to venture into the wilderness, take precautions. And bring a freaking map!!
@awe Ruby last comment you said you survived "MONTHS" and now you say it was just one? Which is it liar? You the same guy that said the british are better at doing things than anyone else and named the US especially. If your gonna be an annoying bragger do it without insulting a fellow allied country that's fought together in ww2 and the history they have.
@awe Ruby when you have no way of escaping somewhere and your stuck in someplace where you know help wont be coming and you have the realization that you can actually die trust me YOU WILL feel fear and feel all sorts of troubling ways. No one is immune to fear my friend. No one! Frustration anger and fear are things we will always experience at times! Believe it
It was him. She was mentally unprepared and ill. Sad to say. She got suicidal. He was foolish a guy to leave all the stuff behind. He started the problem but also solved it
Can you imagine the feeling they had when they took a shower, laid in bed and fell asleep for the first time after this experience?? Almost have goose bumps thinking about it 😫
I had a close call on a solo kayaking trip in Alaska with hypothermia and the bath I had the night I got back was the best bath I ever had in my life. The feeling of comfort and warmth radiates gooey kaleidoscope syrup was like nothing I ever felt … indescribable
Reminds us of how comfortable our lives are and how our ancestors survived and how much struggle we as a species had to go through to be where we are today.
But then waking up to hear that your girl doesn’t want to be with you anymore.. probably no skin off her teeth tho, maybe just went an married a survivalist instead out of spite lol.
Can you honestly blame her? I mean the doofus claimed he spent 3 months preparing and didn’t even know the direction of their lodge. That’s a MASSIVE amateur mistake. How do you not know how to properly orient a map if you’re planning on going to one of the largest forrests on the planet?
Dave, like Georges Costanza, should do the exact opposite of what his natural instinct tells him to do: wanna go south, hit north, wanna get jiggy with it, keep it to yourself, wanna travel to the Amazon, stay home!
She was smart not to marry him. Lol Me and my wife lived in AZ for 8 years, anytime we were out on the desert trails. That’s exactly what we did, remained in the actual trail. How someone could walk off a trail because they were staring off at nature is just absolutely silly. I feel like they went off trail to find their own adventure but did not want to own up to it. 😂 It’s a life or death decision…..1+1
I’ve always been highly afraid of getting lost when in the forest. I want to see the trail every second. Take the Geraldine Largay lady, found I. 2015, 2 yrs after she was lost & died of starvation. She was hiking the Appalachian Trail, so she was Experienced but she went off the trail to pee & never found it again.she died alone, in her tent , she left a journal, she was so close to the trail, and hikers walked close by, her body was found a few years later . Sad.
i would think a desert trail is much different than a trail in the amazon. You have packed dirt to follow. There is constant deadfall, vegetation, and game trails which can throw you off. Not saying what they did wasn't dumb, the second your lost you retrace and make landmarks but i'm sure it is not as clear cut as it seems getting lost in the amazon
Always bring more survival gear than you think you'll need for a short hike. I keep water purifying tablets, a butane lighter, a fire starter, a knife, a solar blanket, crank flashlight, compass and a water bottle with me on all hikes. It's not heavy and takes up little space. If you do get lost, stay put and use your gear. You never know if or when you'll be in an emergency situation
After watching 50 of these episodes I carry all that with me when I go to the restroom 2 doors down for a pee at night. Who knows what could happen during my journey!! 🤷♂️
These people did every single thing wrong, i have never been in more shock at one of these episodes. This was pure luck i cannot believe they didnt die.
Recipe for disaster! Some things are just not common sense. The Amazon is a beautiful yet deadly trap from what I've seen/read. Why would anyone dare go there so unprepared. Just my two cents.
When you go to the Amazon forest the guides tell you that if you drink water from the rivers you get amoeba and they teach you how to cut certain plants to collect rain water, which is the cleanest you can find there . Guides also teach you how to capture tarantulas luring them out of their holes and cook them on the fire. It tastes like lobster apparently. You read this on guide books. Did they really prepare for this? Nope
They were gonna be out there for a month, didn’t he say? And they’d only been there a few days by the time they got lost? I seriously doubt anyone would’ve found them in time if they’d stopped and waited - especially since the place was supposed to be secluded.
In the sequel Dave takes another girl he likes on a date in the Amazon. Sadly, Dave was rejected again. But on the bright side they were confronted by cannibals who invited them to dinner.
What an interesting way of thinking we walked a few hours away from the lodge and now we're going to walk for days to get back... somehow the math just does not add up. 🤷♂️
Anti depressant withdrawal - i.e. missing one dose of mine - makes me feel dizzy and I get these weird things called brain zaps. Krystal must've been on some that were not as strong, because she didn't mention feeling ill. So rather than withdrawal, it probably was that her depression was coming back!
I feel so sorry for the girl who lost in the jungle with the boyfriend who didn't know where to go and what to do anyway but I am happy to hear that they are not together anymore. I think that she would be better without him.
This program is becoming me a professional survival expert by learning from their mistakes and buying gear to solve every single challenge they face . I’m enjoying the outdoors a lot and I feel very confident thanks to this show
But people, don't learn keep making the same mistake over and over again with no tools at all just small things like enough water energy drink knife small blanket some snacks salt and sugar fruits 😋 a torch 🔦 few extra batteries compass 🧭 for directions for forest to wear protective clothes
satellite gps with sos would have saved these people in all the episodes. you can make any mistake and as long as it doesn’t kill you the real experts will be able to find and rescue you.
Les Stroud will teach you how to survive with nothing but a pocket knife. Survivorman is the blueprint every other survival show in production. EVERY. SHOW. His book is very practical. He doesn't recommend tons of gear because "knowledge weighs nothing." A good multitool and practical knowledge combined with a MacGyver can-do attitude can keep you alive until rescue can pinpoint your location via the epurb you better have with you. His biggest message is to make sure someone knows where you're going, possible detour routes you might take based on real-world obstacles that weren't on the map (flood/storm debris blocking the route, wildfire, etc.), and most importantly, when you anticipate returning. If you're overdue, that responsible person will alert emergency services immediately. The epurb is also useful in case you get into trouble well before your scheduled return date. Like, you planned a 7 day hike, but on day 3, a storm dropped a tree on your leg. You might not make it to day 8 for EMS to be alerted. Knowledge is powerful, but planning is critical.
If they had just stayed put when they realized they were lost they would’ve been home in a day or two max. Their biggest mistake was running off into the jungle hoping to find their way back. The jungle isn’t like most places. In the desert or arctic you can generally see at least a mile in any direction. In the jungle if you run 500 yards you might as well be 10 miles away. Stay put the moment you realize you’re lost and blow a whistle every few minutes and searchers will find you within a day or two max anywhere you are.
he's an idiot. doesn't bring a map. has the map upside down. keeps heading the wrong way when they should have figured it out 3 hours in. doesn't hire a guide. doesn't bring any necessities after supposedly planning this trip for 2 years. starts ZIGZAGING in the fucking jungle. heads every direction (without sticking to one in particular) but the right one because he's an idiot who made an upside down map. total moron.
Im sure they learned from it and he got some good camera shots. I thought he wss going to eat the fly. He should have killed something to eat. He has no survival instinct. Good luck in life.

Lol this really did make me laugh. Forgetting the map is one thing and if he found his way back without it he may have succeeded in getting her back. But then deciding to go in the OPPOSITE direction... he's lucky he's even in the friend zone and not having his car keyed and then ghosted 😆

She was weak, tired, in pain, itchy and facing death. It's the straw that broke the camel's back.
Last straw perhaps?
ngl it be that way
Wow this guy was deeper in the friend zone than the actual amazon they got lost in.
yepp, def deeper than the mariana trench
He's gotta get outta that fren zone n just move on. I did years ago. She was upset but good. I was over feeling like crap while kept around.
What a blessing
@@EarJuice So you threw away a good friendship for no reason other than you wanted to date or nothing. To the point she was upset to lose the friendship.
Friendship with women is not a runner up prize or “being kept around” but your loss I guess. Sounds like you lost big.
🤣🤣🤣
Want to get yourself a girl ? Be like Dave get lost in the jungle leave your map behind and hope for the best.
You mean-if you DON’T want YOUR girl anymore.....!!
rasta man : Didnt thought that way, rasta way. But you could be right : maybe he ''forgot'' the map on purpose ... It also would explain why he didnt forgot the camera. He maybe wanted to get lost on purpose - and then he plays the ''hero'' who can remember the map ,and safes his ''love'' , and makes a cool foto of that moment. Its also explains his confessions (while lost) to her ''love'' : that ''when this thing is over, he wants to marry her. He probably also used her depressions in the first place, to get the girl. But than in the rainforest everything went south ... literally south xD
LOOL...If she wasnt sure she made the right decision three years ago...well......SHE SHO IS NOW!!!
That map would be utter useless if he doesn't know how to read it.
😂😂😂
Plot twist: Crystal married the man that rescued them and asked Dave to be a bridesmaid
If you get Lost turn directly around and check the ground for the footprints you just made. How come no one uses common sense in any of these?
For sure....Tracking 101
We wouldn't have a single episode of "I shouldn't be alive" if they used common sense.
Because only the stupid people are on these type of shows, Others actually know what they're doing that's why they're not on I shouldn't be alive lol 🤣
I have been in dense tropical forest. live not too far from one. if off trail just 50 meters, could be extremely disorienting. First thing if you are lost though, make a spear. If night coming, climb a suitable tree and brace yourself. make fire for insects.
Or just stop. Someone will find you. You would be better off lost in the woods with little red riding hood then with this dude!

2 months in the Amazon is crazy. My mother in law and a group of her friends go on lots of trips and they decided a week in the Amazon like this. They were begging their guides to take them back early by the 2nd night and paid them extra to do so.they couldn’t believe how crazy it got at night.
2 months? They were lost for 6 days. Did they plan on golf for 2 months? I missed that 😅 if they did, that's really naive.

Why didn't they turn around at the beginning when they realized they were off the trail, just go back the way you came, they weren't to far from the arrow marker.
And they don't climb a tree before deciding to go south
I thought that too , just continuing further away is just foolish
Armchair survivalist here. It's city people/tourists not recognizing a game trail from a broken human trail. The trails are quite convincing at some points, but they obviously narrow and wind where a human path wouldn't. Hard for me to personally imagine but the majority of people lack that common sense. Hard to say since we weren't in that situation.I'm quite curious on why they didn't follow the game trail back or why they left it all together.
That's why I'm starting to think maybe there's something they are not saying. Because I refuse to believe someone can be this directionally challenged. Even my young children watching this started saying "why aren't they going back the other way?"
@@kaykepop4084 lol im no survivalist but that was my initial thought.

Ok, I am 11 minutes and 31 seconds in the show and just want to see if I am getting this right. So... They walked a couple of hours when they realised that they are lost. Guy says "let's go South 'cause that's where home is!". Then they walk all bloody day, they are still not at the hut but (for some strange reason) the guy keeps thinking that South is the right direction even though it is clearly not. Sooo clearly not! I mean wtf?!
He seems like a nice guy but he isn't the sharpest tool in the box.
My thoughts EXACTLY!!! I get it can be disorienting in a dense environment like that... but you have a compass!!!!🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
South was the correct way 2 go but this fool 4got the map and when he drew the map on the ground, the hut was 2 his north. In reality, the hut was 2 the south but since the map on the ground was backwards, he tought south it is...inky 2 get in deeper and deeper. ..lost...
Fool I tell u...
No worries, I'll get uall out of ANY JUNGLE, ANY...RECON MARINE HERE....LET'S GOOO....

Ok as someone who hikes really frequently, I can tell right away when I’ve left the main trail, Because.... it doesn’t look like the main trail anymore, lol. And say you do hit a side trail by accident, and it slowly gets more dense, you just turn around and follow the side path you followed in until you hit the main trail again. And once they started going the wrong direction and figured they should’ve been there by now, youre not supposed to keep going!!!! youre supposed to realize “oh, we went the wrong direction, let’s backtrack the distance we just traveled and we should end up where we should”.
I guess if they thought of that they wouldn’t be in a survival mode,easier said than done ✅
@@mrsinkzn that’s why you prepare for these situations before hand. That’s why you do training exercises and problem solving practices before hand. That’s why people study and train and practice in any given activity especially high stress and dangerous situations (emergency services, combat sports, sports, motor sports, anything competitive, anything with danger). Especially navigation and trekking you must be prepared before hand. Fail to prepare; prepare to fail.
Why does entering any dangerous worksite require prior training ? Because it prepares you to succeed in moments of shit hitting the fan.
I’ve gone off course once or twice. How did I recover? Because I premeditated steps and processes that will help lead me back to safety. Like having a map and knowing how to use it (first you must practice using a map before knowing how to use it). Understanding the area you are in and studying it before hand, your life may depend on that studying. Knowing what actions will make your situation worse and what actions will increase your chances of survival. These are all things (amongst much much much more) one should learn, to minimize risk and maximize safety.
Survival mode? Your comment is just using that as a scapegoat. Replace survival mode with “not prepared”. If they thought of that then they would’ve been prepared, is what I think you mean to say
@@KevAlberta Congratulations!

@@Sunset553 it is the jungle, it is near impossible to backtrack once you’ve gone off the trail
He had a knife he should’ve marked trees the moment he thought they were lost so if they got turned around they could have something they left to look for to know they was in the direction they came from until they got back to a arrow trail marker they were familiar with
Thats what I thought. Also, I would have left markers as I was traveling down the intial trail.
All they had to do was follow back the animal trail they had veered off on!
I was thinking that, too. Also, not to be gross, but why weren’t they drinking their own urine instead of that sketchy, murky jungle water? At least you know there’s no parasites in it.

The good news is that she didn't marry him out of gratitude. This is also important.

WHY WOULD YOU NOT GO BACK THE WAY YOU CAME IN ORDER TO FIND THE TRAIL???
cos they'd risk finding their BRAINS back there maybe!

Also how do you walk off the trail and suddenly your lost, they decided to bang in the forest, got off the trail as there was a chimp watching, got lost.
@@skarecrowster they werent suddenly lost, they were 7 miles off the trail before they realized ... they were lost. how can you retrace your steps if you dont know which direction you came from? and lastly, the guy thought they had been hiking north the entire time so he thought by going south they were headed back to the cabin.
Um, because they lost track of all the steps they had taken, and all the trees look the same...
Not that I would ever go to the jungle, but this show has really taught me, NEVER GO TO THE JUNGLE. and also if you ever get lost in the forest, JUST STAY WHERE YOU ARE.

yes, these *shouldn't be alive* episodes always end with a suicide pact
This part struck me as weird as well. Usually, when you skip a dose or two (most SSRI meds), depression doesn't just set in. Mostly you get brain zaps etc., then you feel more aware and alert... Idk, sounds like the producers put a spin on this.

Me and my wife lived in AZ for 8 years, anytime we were out on the desert trails. That’s exactly what we did, remained in the actual trail. How someone could walk off a trail because they were staring off at nature is just absolutely silly. I feel like they went off trail to find their own adventure but did not want to own up to it. 😂
It’s a life or death decision…..1+1
I’ve always been highly afraid of getting lost when in the forest. I want to see the trail every second. Take the Geraldine Largay lady, found I. 2015, 2 yrs after she was lost & died of starvation. She was hiking the Appalachian Trail, so she was Experienced but she went off the trail to pee & never found it again.she died alone, in her tent , she left a journal, she was so close to the trail, and hikers walked close by, her body was found a few years later . Sad.
I thought the same thing, they went exploring. Oopsie
i would think a desert trail is much different than a trail in the amazon. You have packed dirt to follow. There is constant deadfall, vegetation, and game trails which can throw you off. Not saying what they did wasn't dumb, the second your lost you retrace and make landmarks but i'm sure it is not as clear cut as it seems getting lost in the amazon
Always bring more survival gear than you think you'll need for a short hike. I keep water purifying tablets, a butane lighter, a fire starter, a knife, a solar blanket, crank flashlight, compass and a water bottle with me on all hikes. It's not heavy and takes up little space. If you do get lost, stay put and use your gear. You never know if or when you'll be in an emergency situation

When you go to the Amazon forest the guides tell you that if you drink water from the rivers you get amoeba and they teach you how to cut certain plants to collect rain water, which is the cleanest you can find there . Guides also teach you how to capture tarantulas luring them out of their holes and cook them on the fire. It tastes like lobster apparently. You read this on guide books. Did they really prepare for this? Nope

i know it’s been 6 days of walking in one direction but we’ve gotta be close now, right?
@@kayk3555 😂😂
right when he decides to go the right direction, she flips out on him...
He was saved twice, first jungle, second getting married with her. And he still dont get it.
I get lost in the parking lot trying to find my car.
Kkkkkk
That’s me 😂
Stay still!! They could of been found in two days instead of 6.
*could've

Step 1 of getting out of the friend zone:
- Don’t make them want to kill themselves.
"Krystals depression is back."
no, its anti-depressant withdrawal lol
She It is not someone I would want to be lost with.
That depression obsession is such a sacred cow. Just enough of that!!!
Anti depressant withdrawal - i.e. missing one dose of mine - makes me feel dizzy and I get these weird things called brain zaps. Krystal must've been on some that were not as strong, because she didn't mention feeling ill. So rather than withdrawal, it probably was that her depression was coming back!
@@fightthefairy everyone reacts differently. i’ve tried multiple different types and dosages and they’re all so different in how you feel coming off
Yep, ran out of dope.
I feel so sorry for the girl who lost in the jungle with the boyfriend who didn't know where to go and what to do anyway but I am happy to hear that they are not together anymore. I think that she would be better without him.
Glad the cameramen survived. #SurvivalOfTheFittest
LOL
😂😂😂
😭😭
these are re-enactments of the story lol
😅🤣
This program is becoming me a professional survival expert by learning from their mistakes and buying gear to solve every single challenge they face . I’m enjoying the outdoors a lot and I feel very confident thanks to this show
But people, don't learn keep making the same mistake over and over again with no tools at all just small things like enough water energy drink knife small blanket some snacks salt and sugar fruits 😋 a torch 🔦 few extra batteries compass 🧭 for directions for forest to wear protective clothes
Stay save is not so save out there
EVERY single piece of gear to face EVERY possible challenge? Can you actually carry 200 pounds?
satellite gps with sos would have saved these people in all the episodes. you can make any mistake and as long as it doesn’t kill you the real experts will be able to find and rescue you.
Les Stroud will teach you how to survive with nothing but a pocket knife. Survivorman is the blueprint every other survival show in production. EVERY. SHOW. His book is very practical. He doesn't recommend tons of gear because "knowledge weighs nothing." A good multitool and practical knowledge combined with a MacGyver can-do attitude can keep you alive until rescue can pinpoint your location via the epurb you better have with you. His biggest message is to make sure someone knows where you're going, possible detour routes you might take based on real-world obstacles that weren't on the map (flood/storm debris blocking the route, wildfire, etc.), and most importantly, when you anticipate returning. If you're overdue, that responsible person will alert emergency services immediately. The epurb is also useful in case you get into trouble well before your scheduled return date. Like, you planned a 7 day hike, but on day 3, a storm dropped a tree on your leg. You might not make it to day 8 for EMS to be alerted. Knowledge is powerful, but planning is critical.
This show always makes me grab a water bottle and thank God I have it
I have a cold glass of lemonade with ice. I drink it and enjoy it while watching this 🤣
For sure
If they had just stayed put when they realized they were lost they would’ve been home in a day or two max.
Their biggest mistake was running off into the jungle hoping to find their way back.
The jungle isn’t like most places. In the desert or arctic you can generally see at least a mile in any direction.
In the jungle if you run 500 yards you might as well be 10 miles away.
Stay put the moment you realize you’re lost and blow a whistle every few minutes and searchers will find you within a day or two max anywhere you are.
Guy seems like a MAJOR bonehead...
he's an idiot. doesn't bring a map. has the map upside down. keeps heading the wrong way when they should have figured it out 3 hours in. doesn't hire a guide. doesn't bring any necessities after supposedly planning this trip for 2 years. starts ZIGZAGING in the fucking jungle. heads every direction (without sticking to one in particular) but the right one because he's an idiot who made an upside down map. total moron.
Sums up why he was friendzoned.
@@anumeetsingh6218 🤣
@@Sara-jy2bt she was an idiot too
@@dustinbrite2422 she's not the idiot who lead them in the wrong direction until 6 pm when they were supposed to be back by afternoon lol
Lost the trail, forgot the map, so unprepared, so many bad decisions that lead to such an agonizing adventure. They were very lucky to survive!
Im sure they learned from it and he got some good camera shots. I thought he wss going to eat the fly. He should have killed something to eat. He has no survival instinct. Good luck in life.
They should realize what they forget in the first mile.
They seriously should have just gone to the zoo.
