    Is it just me, or are there other people who would rather 'survive' on a desert island for a week than do what they're supposed to be doing right now?

      +Tom Mcelroy-Wild Survival I just stumbled on your channel. This video was great. The pace was good and I loved learning about all the new, (to me) survival skills. Its inspiring and empowering to see that it is possible to live free, without money. It wouldn't be "easy" but how easy is it to live the way we live now? Not too easy from my experience. Have you heard of the "re-wilding" movement? I read a really good book by Miles Olsen which described the how and why. The thought of living free on a tropical island has an appeal. Thanks for making these videos I look forward to seeing them all.

    I can't believe there aren't more likes out of a million and a half views. Your vids are phenomenally packed with information, training, and a general appreciation for all that is the great outdoors. I'll be rewatching and taking notes.
    Thanks to both members of your survival team.

  • @wildsurvivalskills
    @wildsurvivalskills  9 років тому +182

    Thanks for the great response. Glad most everyone likes the video. I'll be sure to make more so keep an eye out for that. If interested in going out on an excursion like this, November 8th-14th check out wildsurvivalskills.com/ or MtVictoryCamp.com . Class will be held November 8th to the 14th in a very similar location on the Western side of St Croix. It'll be the adventure of your life, get some friends together and we'll pack it with as many skills as humanly possible. Also, if you'd like to keep seeing these videos please consider chipping in a few bucks for the next one in the Amazon. I will be with a remote tribe hunting and gathering and showing you how to survive as we head out into the jungle with the people that really live this stuff. Donate here www.gofundme.com/494qcytk

I wish to ask you, what was the music playing at the end, the one with the violin strokes like whale cries. Would love to know it, it's magical. Peace and serenity.

      abialo2010 How many youtubers genuinely expect to find themselves stranded on a desert island? Especially one so rich in resources? While still being in possession of a knife or machete?
      It looks like about 70,000 or so.
      I remember the last time I tried to take a letter opener in my baggage at the airport.
      The rubber gloves were probably the worst part of that ordeal.

  • @BobLoblawbob
    @BobLoblawbob 6 років тому +3

    I'd have to agree. Couple decades ago, I worked like Hell to fulfill a childhood fantasy: spend 10 days alone on a deserted beach in Australia. Out of choice, I brought limited gear (a lot more than Tom) , no food or water and a book on wild plants. The flies feasted on me, sun cooked me, had a run-in with a brown snake, thought dolphins were sharks, lost 15 lbs., and almost went insane listening to the night sounds and talking to myself. Had the time of my life! Never had the guts to read my journal. One day maybe.

  • @mataschmata
    @mataschmata 7 років тому +310

    Honestly even though I would most likely eat my words if I was ever forced to be put on a deserted island, it seems like it would be really liberating. Being able to collect things for myself and working from the ground up rather than doing irrelevant jobs that don't relate to any of the things I need for survival, it kind of sounds awesome. And in what other situation would you be in a place on earth that's not somehow claimed by someone else? Where so much as cutting down a sapling would be a violation of territory? Seems like it'd be pretty awesome to just be somewhere that's unclaimed.

    Great stuff, guys. Very educational. And hey, if you're going to be stranded on a desert island, you might as well pick one with a view! 14:12
    I really love your reverse wrap method; the one I've seen before was holding each strand between fingers and weaving them slowly, so yours is much more efficient. You guys show some very nice advanced skills. Climbing on trees to get coconuts and spearfishing don't look like things that most people would be able to do without skill and some serious muscle soreness later - and I suspect many would be unable to do them at all.
    I would also point out that most people don't carry a machete or big knife around, so if they end up on a desert island, it won't instantly turn into a "dessert island", if you catch my drift. ;) But you can make some pretty nifty cutting or chopping tools by chipping away at a stone with another, then polishing it when you have the time so that it lasts longer.

      I've never climbed a tree. I'm vertically challenged anyway and was super careful even as a kid, so I never tried it. I'm also scared of heights. I'm sure I'd figure it out, but like... even climbing a tree in the most straightforward fashion, for me, would feel like extreme parkour or something, lol. I just... I dunno. I dunno. I'd hope to be with another person and trade off some other activity with them. I'll skin the kills if they climb the trees or something.

    I am from Trinidad, West Indies. Gentlemen, I am impressed. But you must have learned from island people. The natural meat tenderizer papain from the papaya tree, your coconut-tree climbing skills and the knowledge of the coconut and its many uses. Your use of the versatile bamboo is excellent. Good shelter too. We used that type of plant leaves for its fibres also. How to open the conch, cooking the fish.....nice. Bamboo framed and barred box-type fish trap works well in that type of water. Much respect to you. Regards. Trinidad & Tobago.

      +InTheNameOfJustice Well, that's what you get usually. Especially if you have an allergy to the acids in the oil. Stages of ripeness eases the laxative effect too. You want the water, not the milk. Which wouldn't be easily available either since it has to be made.

    @brodieclamp5090 6 років тому +1

    A good way to spear fish to is to split bamboo that's about an inch in diameter multiple times and use sticks to keep the prongs seperated but lash it so its tight then sharpen some of the more blunt points, it makes it so you can hit a larger amount of space, also instead of spear fishing in the ocean you're better of using a net or a line since the water is to deep and will slow you down a lot so you can't be as effective as say near some shallows in a lake or pool of water.

    Dude, great video and thank you for taking the time to do it.....but, When you make the shelter show what to look for area, standing trees, the limbs used. when you gathered the roof, maybe show were you got the limbs. Its like there was just a big pile of them lying around. Im trying to look at it from a true stranded person. There is an art to climbing those trees. And im sure your trying to keep your video time down, but i think you have so much more knowledge to share that your maybe skipping over key points because its second hand to you. And back to the beginning, DUDE GREAT VIDEO!!!!!!

      Joe Shmoe You can survive without water for 3-4 days. A rainstorm could easily come within hours and if you haven't got a shelter there's a good chance you'll stay cold and wet and probably die of hypothermia. Get a shelter up then consider water sources.

I also heard that in the most brutal conditions he was not out there alone or all night or anything like that but that he would sleep in the nice warm place with the camera crew.. that was scripted TV and a lot of it was fake

    I admire your skills. i am an avid kayaker 100 lbs soaking wet in the back country of the Florida Keys. I can not figure out how to get water and food among the mangroves. Would you consider coming to the Florida Keys sometime to work with the materials we have in the back country. Cocnuts there are rare to find, no bamboo, lots of fish and cordage. I would appreciate your expertise in this mosquito and deer fly environment without H20, I use a mosquito net hammock and camp out by myself at age 56. Willing to learn if you are willing to teach. We do have Iguanas fortunately or unfortunately as they are not indigenous. Thanks
