Dollar General Island Survival Challenge

- ECOFLOW: us.ecoflow.com/?aff=141 Can you buy what you need at the Dollar General to survive on an island? They don't sell fishing gear at the Dollar General so I thought doing a survival Challenge with just stuff I buy at the Dollar General would be a special twist to this island survival challenge. How will I catch and cook and survive the night without proper survival gear?

One thing I haven't seen is a yard sale challenge. $50 yard sale finds only, location and duration up to you. Keep up the great work and stay strong in your faith brother
50 bucks and only gets 4 yards
I like this challenge idea
Great idea
Id say as much yards till he spent the $50
go for 25$ haggle for survival :D
should've kept the "duck" tape and traded in the fancy pink lighter for a cheaper lil bic to keep it under $100 😂
Bro i was thinking the same.
Yeah, $6 was too much for that, plus its hard to beat a Bic for reliability anyway.
seriously, especially when traveling over water in a duct tape boat
Or a few thing of floss
Maybe he was thinking about the wind putting out the flame of the bic. The butane in the other lighter is more wind resistant.
Respect for not just throwing the shower curtain back on a random shelf 👏🏼👏🏼
I was wondering would he put it back 🤣
Thought the same after working in retail when I was younger, that really annoyed me (still does when I see it shopping) when you find a steak not just on a random unrefrigerated shelf but actually hidden behind something, I mean is it too difficult to put it back where you picked it up or if you are lazy which you are if you just dump stuff take it the till when you checkout and hand it in there to have a staff member return it for you. Rant over lol.
agreed
@@AlienHunterification infuriating.
13:40 and not eating that white bunny
It’s amazing how much faster you wake up when your outside! Honestly I feel better when I sleep outside!
Amen Brother :)
It's YOU'RE *
I slept outside yesterday with my niece. We were playing and then she got cranky and laid on my chest and fell asleep but I didn’t sleep until she woke up😂 when I woke up she was eating a moldy orange peel even tho I gave her biscuits and juice
@solidsnakesimulation666 nope. I just checked the Websters encyclopedia for re*ard f***ots and it's yurrrr

Hey buddy, I lost my 13 year old son on April 22 I just want to thank you for making a clean channel for us to enjoy together. We loved watching you, the wooded beardsman, and Greg ovens. I just want you all to know you touched the life of a wonderful young man.I also mailed a letter and a couple photos to Fowler’s makers and mischief.
I am so sorry for your loss.
Thank you. He was such an awesome kid.
i'm sorry bro he's in a better place now!
No parent should ever lose a child so sorry.... How'd he pass? If you don't mind me asking.
Bless brother I hope you find peace in your heart for your lost one.
I can't imagine the pain your going through.
But all that matters is love brother.
Peace
Hey you should do a tractor supply CO for a survival challenge
i could easily do a 7 day survival challenge inside a tractor supply co store 😏
He'd call it Target about fifty times 😁...
@@jeffreybozeman6245 yep lol
He'd be set with that one 😆
Thats not a challenge. Thats just camping LOL
Yes, I've nearly cried over gross but much appreciated instant coffee, too.
Loved the scripture quotes and nods to our Creator. It was refreshing content.
As a current DG Employee, I couldn't help but stress watching this as my brains going, "You can find that over there, no wait the tarps were just in the aisle-" It was great watching you shop through the aisles, as usual we're short on most supplies. The video was great, I know I'm a year late but keep up the great work!
Interesting video. My daughter who worked at DG over the summer sent this to me. I'm a vendor who works in several DG stores. When you kept talking about not finding anything to make fish hooks out of we were both yelling at the screen " SEWING SIDEWING NEAR THE LAUNDRY AISLE!!!" lol
Yo@ ✔ List . Soda- Pop can. Does it have the tab 🤔 two. Always recycle ♻️. Love you 1st guess 2nd and depends on 3rds. "Damn! The food (fish) is burning.... Anyway till this day'. You can jig all night long
@@nlee6038 LOL
Dollar stores seriously, are not cheap 😂
@@arimewillow4278 ya dollar tree is only one that lives e the live to their name but now their at like 1.25
Do you mean "Sidecap"
I saw you in Union on my way home from Togus. My wife laughed cause I wanted to stop and say hi and thanks for your videos, but you were recording. Have a great day
Nice 👍
Nice self restrain :)
Not gonna lie I would not have been able to not stop lol I would have wanted a photo for sure
I would stopped and done the brain in the background... 😈
Lol I saw his car on the road the other day and geeked out! I tried to be respectful and not honk or wave. I did take a picture of his car to brag to wife and friends tho. Lol
I admire your tenacity and your positive attitude. Your faith is your victory! Any instant coffee is going to suck. Next time boil some real coffee grounds and strain it through your sheet. MUCH LOVE Lil'brother
34:20 almost fell out of my chair when i saw that spider... well played sir
🤣 I love that there is just a random rabbit chillin' and eating while he was dumping out the water from his kaya.
yep, I would have tried to locate his source. :}
Also an underwater dinosaur at 22:21
Should've ate the 🐇 😆
I was hoping i wasnt the only one who saw that
Hahaha ye i was just about to ask the comments about it 😂 it was so funny, he just sat there there eatin some carrots.
I love how he's literally pointing at the sign and still says the wrong store name, because I'm entirely capable of the same thing. It's nice to see someone else mess up sometimes.
ua-cam.com/video/PGUXngjyg4A/v-deo.html
We call them “General Family Tree Dollar Stores”!😂
We call them DOLLAR AND THEN SOME store
A friend of mine and I took our bug out bags camping to see how we did putting them together. Probably the best trip ever doing that.
Damn that's the best idea to check if you realy realy got everything you tought you needed or not, or even thinks well i don't know but cant do anything with these items, but guess for shtf of camping is a big difference still lol, but to check like the basics you thought you got everything right, best thing to do👍🏻✌🏻 i might going to do that myself with a friend too, think it will become very much fun and usefull self knowledge.
@user-cx2zg4hr9k It went well for us, but I did have to upgrade my tent - the zipper broke before I even got to sleep in it. It was cold that night.
@@jillinidaho that’s a great time to find out about it, would have been disastrous if that happened when you actually need it. The best gear in the world is the gear you have trained with
Everyone should aspire to be this optimistic and grateful
He called it “family dollar” as he was looking directly at the “dollar general” sign haha.
I saw the R burned out on the sign and it reminded me of someone asking me for a "dolla"....
Did you just say family?
@@obama7195 DOM TORRETO
Family is the only thing that matters
Fun fact you can be just as creative at Family Dollar as you are at Dollar General if not more because Family Dollar is normally cheaper than Dollar General
Thanks for showing when things don’t go right… when people are training or primitive camping they need to know that 7/10 things go wrong. It is why survival is WORK.
I was literally thinking "oh, no; the cashier is going to think he is a serial killer"
Haha they don't care they don't get payed enough to care about that😂
I would have used the tarp to water proof the boat. Use that white card to tie it around the bottom. Loved it.
This guy doesn’t let stuff bother him salt of the earth kind of guy! Over to watch when you made boat lol
Yeah that's an understatement. Took all that and more when he won Alone.
Mainers learn about extreme acceptance at an early age... With the blizzards and freezing rain storms. Still camping there is awesome... Just don't forget your bug spray. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Laundry basket would of made a great fish trap. Try that next time. Love the adventures thank you for taking us with you on it.
ua-cam.com/video/PGUXngjyg4A/v-deo.html
Came for the interesting title, stayed and subscribed for the personality and perspective on life. Love the upbeat attitude, the philosophy and humor. Keep em up!
🤣🤣🤣 I'm sorry but the drinking Folger's instant coffee out of the frying pan made me ROFL 🤣🤣🤣Thank you Zachary for the fun times!
I question the legitimacy of a "survivalist" who passes on duct tape. 🤣
He already had it with the boat. If he had gotten it, it probably would have save him some boat troubles...
If you cant fix it with duct tape and bailing wire then it's just plain broke
Galactic_Ape
I question the legitimacy of people who can't do without duct tape.
I thought survival was as much primitive skill as possible
Guessing he didn't want it to be too easy on him. It is a challenge video, but there are shades of gray concerning what will make it too easy and thus defeat the point of a challenge! Depends on the individual.
Watched you with my boy scout troop they fell out and called you nuts.
Love you for experimenting for us and being so funny about it thanks again you are an ADVENTURER
This was def an adventure!
ua-cam.com/video/PGUXngjyg4A/v-deo.html
Stumbled along this video tonight. The first I've seen of yours. I love your energy! Never lose that positive outlook. Your going to help so many!
I gotta say I have so much more respect for you showing content where you get honestly skunked. It is refreshing and makes it feel real!
"Straws to catch some turtles"
That dark joke hahaha
And of course, being a boomer, it went right over my head, and I recognized it at the time, but...
I love it haha. "THANK YOU LORD FOR THE FOLGERS COFFEE"🙏. Sometimes it really is all about the small things! Loved the Video!
Where
That part had me dying😂💀
ua-cam.com/video/PGUXngjyg4A/v-deo.html
Hey brother, I needed that scripture. It hit to the heart. I appreciate your prayer and spirituality
For someone with an advanced amount of experience, Im surprised things went the way they did. Proving that in survival, a positive attitude is crucial.
Well done, sir.
I laughed at the waterworld reference calling the people in the boat "Smokers" haha
Highly underrated movie
Ok so I’m not the only who caught and thought it was in fact a water world reference..
Waterworld: the best worst movie ever.
I just caught that, love that movie!!
I remember thinking in the move, "are they called smokers because they smoke a lot or because their boats and jet skis smoke a lot?" And I still dont know! Haha
13:24 There just happened to be a rabbit on this island eating a carrot.
And it was glorious!
Hahaha wtf?
That’s an edit
@@chrislovesannick no way! I thought the rabbit swam out there with the carrot in his mouth lol 🐇 🥕
Fowler practicing is movie magic lol
Amazing, more realistic survival video than many I saw here on UA-cam. I appreciate you shared moment of breakdown. That's probably most important moment of survival experience. For viewers to recognise if they ever come to situation of survival desperation.
you’re joking
“ I feel sorry for him but he’s going to catch me my dinner”
Ok I will use that statement for when I’m stuck on a island!
I'd be really impressed with a Dollar Tree survival challenge--jest sayin'.
Well he has learned something so he should try again
I’m down to try this
Same dude
A $20 dollar tree challenge
He will probably call it dollar - general throughout the vid 🤣
Speaking of the bugs coming out after dark next time take some duct tape throw a couple strips on the ground that way you can have some bait in the morning
Lol smart!
That’s the most organized dollar general I’ve ever seen 😂
Coming from Texas where we eat tortillas quite often. My guess is they're dissolving in the water.
I truly enjoy your content and I'm a new subscriber. Who appreciates the survival tips. 💪😊
As someone who works for Dollar General, I think I speak for all of us when I say thanks for putting the shower curtain back where you got it from. 👍 Customers don't understand how much we appreciate that.
I'm known for straightening up the clearance aisle as I look through it. Ì can't stand it when it is messy.
I love how he put the duct tape back even tho he had like 5 spools of floss lol
Duct tape was a "might need", floss was to be his fishing line, therefore a "will need" item.
Thank you for another fun video, giraffes, mice , and rabbits and all! I really needed that pick me up! (I totally missed all those little critters the first time...thanks to your other viewers for pointing them out!)
Not gonna lie, I was super tense during that duct tape boat situation. 🤣
same
This was so much fun to watch! The paddling to and from the island had me cracking up and yelling at my screen "Paddle faster!". Also...did anyone else see a giraffe at 25:37? If not...well then neither did I...
Yes I did. Lol
Thought the bud was kicking in huh
Or the rabbit...13:25
Did you see the killer bunny when he was emptying out the boat
36:33 there was a rat or mouse
Few thoughts...
The outer layer of the tape probably had to be put in the opposite direction, so that it doesn't open the seams when dragged against the water flow. Additionally when seams are open (as seen on the video) it may create an extra drag to slow you down.
The tears at "it's so gross but it's so good" touched me deeply. Back when I wasn't certain of being able to eat every day, I scrounged hodge podge of things, whatever I could find. It was so gross. But so good. All there was to do was be thankful.
YOU ARE SO FUNNY! You have me laughing every episode.You and I would 28:14 keep each other and the public happy and more educated...
Anyone else see the bunny rabbit watching Fowler empty out his kayak
Where did that bunny come from I wonder.
It looked domestic. He had to have seen it, but no mention of it.
Saw it also, it's chowing down on a carrot.
It's not real ppl. They just edited the bunny into the shot.
@@elmeromero5605 Lol!
something i personally keep in the back of my mind is the tab to an aluminum can can be made into a bit of a hook, doesnt have barbs but probably better than a bobby pin
Same thing I said lol how do you call yourself a fisherman and not know the beer can trick
Didn't bring a can tho
I'm sure there was something at the Dollar store with a pull tab. But when it comes to fishing, he could have taken a whole tackle box full of fishing lures and still caught nothing. Fishing is like that sometimes, especially when you want or need to catch at least one. @@justincaseypoohed1823
What an absolute joy it is to watch your videos! So pure and wholesome yet so entertaining and funny. Really makes me happy, easiest sub of my life! Thank you for your content and beautiful to see how appreciative and positive you are even in frustrating circumstances. :D
You are so sweet! I love that you care about the frog. This was by far one of the best survival shows I’ve seen.
lol
I admire your confidence, I understand how people must look at you while walking around recording yourself and though I live in a seemingly busier location I don't doubt the interactions are still a bit awkward. And great content man I'd love to see more.
ua-cam.com/video/PGUXngjyg4A/v-deo.html
Watching different UA-camrs I also think about what it would look like if someone came into my store recording and talking like that.. it probably seems pretty silly but here I am watching him talk to myself 🤣
Earrings would be great for a fishing hook. You gotta find the kind with a hook on the end. It’s ready to go after you take the decorations off.
Depending on the earring, might be a spoon style lure
That match light briquettes idea for a fire is genius. Can't believe I've never thought of it. I'll have to try it out this summer
"its a beautiful day in the neighborhood, the neighborhood" if youre a dad youd know where this is from. Love it!!
Subbing because of that
I think it would be cool to flex seal the duct tape kayak and make it water tight and a bit more sturdy.
I hope you read this. Your videos have helped me get through a rough month. Thanks for doing what you do and showing love to nature!
Smokers? A Waterworld reference! That needs to be a thing.
Thank you for sharing Scripture. James 1:2-3 was one I had never visited in James.❤
Just binge watched season 3 of alone. All I can say is wow! Rooted for you from the start. Congratulations on your win! Your will power was incredible.
A pull-tab from any aluminum can cut properly makes a great fish hook. I've even seen a couple of beer companies put cut lines on their pull tabs to make hooks
People should be aware of alternate methods of fishing. Nets, dams, traps...
@@granmabern5283 it’s not legal everywhere
LOL, which reminded me of a cousin who worked for Zebco. They sold a spoon lure that doubled as a bottle opener for a promo item.
awww man the turtle and straw joke got me. hahahaha
Just watched this and I'm a fan.Love your whole outlook on life and simple methods of trying things.Very enjoyable to watch.From the west of Ireland I'll be watching a lot more.😀
Your tears...were so precious...felt it how hard Life would be when stomach starts making noises..
I think this came up on my recommendation feed cause my husband likes fishing but either way I’m glad it did. I’ve a feeling I’m bout to go on a binge watching session lol I did cover my eyes when you were hooking the frog but my goodness this looks fun. I like playing wilderness survival games but you can’t really do it IRL where we are, but I’ve always liked the idea of Robinson Crusoing it for a while lol
ua-cam.com/video/PGUXngjyg4A/v-deo.html
Wow what a long sentins
I'm so glad you got back to the shore in that boat! Very impressive and a great video! Thanks!
Lmao. So funny in that kayak reminds me of stuff we did as a kid.
That spider at 34:23 was HUGGEEEE and you laid right on top of it 😣
That’s terrifying. 🕷🕷
LOL I think it was put in during editing. It just disappears before he lays on it
Yea, it was just a joke, you can tell by the outline
@@lukedaduke9682 yea I just noticed it just disappears , I wonder if his editor was playing a prank on him or something.
What about the mouse on far left at 36:33
I'm glad you found the sewing and stitching kits, because I was gonna say that's where to start.
Man. After seeing how hard it was for you to get out of that….canoe.. it’s scary to think what may have happened if it didn’t make it to the island 😬
Edit:
PS the Clove hitch (or Claw hitch as I was taught- I’ve definitely heard both) might be my favorite quick knot
Nothing better then Spam and eggs after a failed fishing trip! 😁
May be it was a unsuccessful trip for you sir, but I personally so much enjoyed watching. Everyday I wake up I see building walls. Seeing beautiful sceneries, catch & cook, spending nights in the forest or island, it looks so amazing. I just wish that if I can go for camping with you. I enjoyed your videos sir.
ua-cam.com/video/PGUXngjyg4A/v-deo.html
Making trips like this is what makes you appreciate the little things in life.
I must say you are so cool. You paddled out to a tiny island and began fishing and foraging the second you got there.
UA-cam just recommended your channel to me. First time viewer and instantly I dig it. You got a new fan. Thank you for your content
Check his season on alone the show season 3 I believe
ua-cam.com/video/PGUXngjyg4A/v-deo.html
Your a happy dude, can't wait to watch more of your adventures.
I would love to see you cultivate, harvest and process your own flour for that blueberry pie😯
Great video! Thanks :)
I was surprised you had so much trouble finding food on the island. Chris didn't seem to have a problem at all with foraging. Maybe the maple bacon tree was no longer in season? :-)
there was the rabbit at 13:44 he could have had🙂
ua-cam.com/video/PGUXngjyg4A/v-deo.html
@@zimmerlicker lool things stuck
Fowler doesn't forage well.. relies heavily on animals
looks like he forages a little too well.
foraging includes animals btw. plants will not sustain you.
What is funny is that the dollar store on the corner of my street, here in Canada, have some fishing gears for sales....
Some dg or fd have around the toy aisle kiddie poles
Great video. You showed so many things that can be done if you just think and are creative
You could've made a home made crawfish trap with a water bottle some beef jerky, and a knife and a rock or two to help keep the trap down. Knife to help cut the bottle to make it.
I would have cut off some beard hair and tied it on to make a maribou jig and would have used just the weight of the safety pin instead of a rock.
we love your videos.
That's right on.
Lol
When "so gross" is the highlight of your day! Awesome trip. Thank you.
I love this guys attitude and positivity, great video.
25:50 "it's not pretty, but she's snug"
I feel that bro 😂
should have got a can of soda or something and use the tab as a hook ;)
I don't think he brought a multi tool. He should have allowed it
Use a piece of wood and sharpen both ends and use as a hook.
You’re an inspiration. Consider it all joy! That’s the spirit!
Just watching this to see if I can get some ideas for my bush craft and survival activities with my youth group at work. Great video
Of all the things to do with out “Duck” tape was not the right choice in my opinion. It’s the most useful item you had in that cart 🤦🏻♂️
A bunch of long flexy twigs, 1/4" w strips of D-tape & you've got a simple funnel type fish trap, make hoops of graduated sizes, weave 3-4 sticks through the rings, alternating, then use the strips of tape to add more . Could use floss but tying tiny knots with cold hands... Not so much.
This is the kind of place where I like to do guerilla gardening.
I'd sneak into wild spaces like this and plant edibles that are local to the area.
Blueberries, raspberries, pear trees squash plants. Ect.
I transplanted a wild fig tree that although not native to the pacific northwest was still 3 years old or so on its own before. Plucked it off the side of a trail and moved it where local wildlife would be able to enjoy it more..
Weed?
@@alekswhy88 why would I plant weed out in the wild? It's legal to grow, smoke and possess here and I don't smoke it anyhow.
@@ryanmcewen415 😄eh who knows. To have a complete garden on a personal oasis for camping
@@alekswhy88 island like this would be a great little retreat/fishing spot. Adding an apple tree or something would just be icing on the cake.

"We can live without the duck tape" duck tape boat: "ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT"
Yep when took a as seen on tv fry pan over duct tape...some colorful words came out of my mouth. SMDH 🥺
Seeing how difficult it was for him to get his feet out of the kayak he's probably lucky the thing didn't sink and pull him under.
Hahaha 🤣
I really enjoy watching you, u are the epitome of a happy man. I would love to join u on a trip if it were to happen in Canada
Should have bought some sardines at the dollar and a quarter store, would've had some fish for sure that way, lol. Love your show, just discovered it yesterday.
please don't be discouraged zach! definitely try this challenge again maybe in a different location! i thoroughly enjoyed this video just for its spontaneous creativity! or maybe ill just watch absolutely anything you upload! Hello from AUSTRALIA
Thanks for the video. I really appreciate the fact that this didn't go like you planned and you posted it anyways. It's encouraging to the rest of us plebs
Dollar General carries sowing kits! That would of been PERFECT for fishing line and homemade hooks.
I'm honestly so happy he included the spam and eggs afterwards, it was cathartic XD
Spam is a pork product and he wrapped it in bacon. LOL.
My girlfriends mom got us that pan and while I was incredibly skeptical at first I have grown to seriously love it. Best nonstick I've ever use. Downside is that its an incredibly uncomfortable handle.
ua-cam.com/video/PGUXngjyg4A/v-deo.html
Absolutely PAINFUL for my skinny fingers!
i find it so refreshing to see someone proclaim their faith so openly on a platform like this. this is my first time watching you and i am a fan after this
Do yourself a favor and check out 30 day survival in the Rockies. You won’t be disappointed
So is his new stuff lol
