THE ISLAND 96-Hour Survival Challenge: Fishing & Shelter Build
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- Day 3 of this island survival adventure and my 3rd priority is to get food. Finally, the conditions are good and my selection of lure was good enough to entice a small grouper to bite the bait. The shelter of the previous day wan't finished so I collected more wood to build a functional lean-to. What fishing lures or bait would you use in this environment?

If you would like to travel with me to an exotic destination in the world, along with a small group of other adventurous travelers, then take a moment to fill out this quick survey asking where and when you'd like to go and then we'll start planning: my.trovatrip.com/public/l/survey/chad-zuber
14.29 I see someone walking your behind
@@Ridwan_sandart That technique is not simple to build. It can be done but it's actually a lot easier and faster to climb coconut trees to get water.
@@nozhapratama1650 Yes, you're right. Someone was hiking the beach. I don't know who and I didn't interact with the person. I knew there was a possibility of someone appearing here. It's difficult to find places, especially islands, where there are no humans. Those that are void of humans are usually protected with restricted access.
I filled out the survey, it would be a dream to take a trip like that!
@@nozhapratama1650I saw it too
With less than 1,100 of those snakes left in the world. Once in a life time sight
I feel honored to have witnessed it.
In a true survival situation, the lizard, snake & fish would have gone in the pot (coconut shell), along with baited crabs and tree rats. Its all protein!
@@DDedenyummy 😊
@@yan3066 Better than starving! This morning, I woke up in my hammock, saw a tree rat (Polynesian brown rat) climbing a cocopalm to get some breakfast.
@@DDeden I totally agree with you. My comment wasn't sarcastic. In a true survival situation, a snake having a lizard in his mouth is better than only coconut water. On this we agree friend. 😀👍
The one thing that I appreciate the most is the shots you get of you essentially walking away, going about your next task so we have a sense of deeper immersion, just for you to have to double back and retrieve the camera and set it up for the next walk by. The extra work it takes and energy is required to do many things twice for the camera is insane to think about especially in a situation that your energy is limited. All that to say, I appreciate your dedication to giving us that deeper sense of being there with you, watching.
I really appreciate that. Yes, it is a lot of work. I really need a drone to accurately capture the distances though. When watching the video it seems that the distance between the camp and the beach is really short. It's not that far but the coastline is really rugged so it takes a little while to get there. Carrying all that stuff makes the effort tougher too.
@@ChadZuberAdventures A wide angle time lapse would convey the journey really well i think. Would be hard to find a spot that would capture the entire journey.
Kudos to you Chad, for not only going on these adventures by yourself but bring us amazing storytelling videos
Thank you
Respect putting that fish back. I'm a true life or death situation anyone would eat it. But fair play for releasing it
That's my feelings exactly. A lot of people criticize me for not killing and eating more animals but the reality is that the wildlife populations of many species are greatly diminished. I want to practice catching them. Eating them is the easy part and anyone can do that.
This is what living life should be an taught to all children! Adventure! Nature knowledge!
U said it all my friend !!
Wow. That footage of the Antiguan racer was something special
It really was. I was fortunate to be there and have the camera next to me.
I love this series and how you decided to change the usual scenery of survival to an island. Much love and thanks for your content 🙏👍
I'm glad you like it. Where should I go next?
@@ChadZuberAdventures I'm not picky, your content always delivers. That being said in the (long) future you could always consider either a cold environment or a forest/jungle one. But those are arguably more dangerous too, you definitely know better. Cheers
hello, greetings from turkey, I am looking forward to the continuation of your videos, also sharing with subtitles makes it easier for us to watch, thank you..
Thank you!
I enjoy this island survival series very much.
I'm glad
The burp at the end was the icing on the cake. 😂😂
The videos of this series on the island are sensational. 👍🏻🙂
Hahahaha! I actually have quite a few on camera burbs from other times too.
@@ChadZuberAdventures 🤣🤣
I love this kind of videos. It's true wilderness living
14:25 I guess that's what you mean by "there's more food than just coconuts".
Lols I'm not the nly 1 who noticed aey
@@jameshull7261 you're not!
This is what it is like being a cast away, survival day to day, trying to improve your situation. Chad I'm surprised that you haven't done more beach combing. If you found rope and netting, what other useful stuff might there be, like some sort of container. A little adventure might reveal a water source and better conditions.
Good job so far. ;-)
There wasn't a lot of trash actually on this piece of coastline.
Ini yang di tunggu tunggu salam dari Indonesia aku suka vidio pertualangan yang hebat 😇👏👏
I appreciate all the nuggets of truths you include in your video ☺️👍🙏 "my life should be directed by compass (where am I heading) not a clock"
Yeah, it took me a long time to understand that quote. I like it a lot.
This is an awesome change up from primal tendencies. I do really like your survival challenge videos. That would be super cool if you started doing week long challenges in different areas of the world, or even the United States. Don't get me wrong. I did like the primal tendency series but I like these much more. Excellent videos Chad. Keep em coming, stay safe, and THANK YOU!
Okay, thanks for your input. I'm planning to do more of these. I really enjoy them. They do require travel which can be expensive. That's why I wasn't doing them. I couldn't afford it but I'm finding new ways to make some money to fund more trips. I hope you like the future ones!
i thought you were alone at that island... but at 14:27 you can see people walking down the beach lol
I was alone. I didn't stay with anyone. Someone, I don't know who, walked by and left. I can't control that. It's not my island. Sorry.
that true i saw one its a guy
yeah me too@@jewelyongque5598
I seen 😂😂😂😂
The way you are replying to all those comments....really shows how humble and caring person you are.........thanks for the epic content lots of love❤ #india🇮🇳
Great series! It's a nice change of pace from your usual videos, it works well. Hard to believe that Snake Island was so long ago
I really enjoyed the change of scenery too
Chad:
Your commentary is great!! I think the bluff idea was great I too, I recall biting midges in the tropics, they sure make life miserable. My solution to being in those conditions is to always wear long sleeves, no shorts and to bring a bandanna for neck wear. The midge bites itch like crazy for a long time and they seem to get to you whenever there is no breeze . Your idea of using natural fragrance and oils is spot on. I had to use Vicks in a pinch as the biting bugs were driving me crazy. I did notice that there was a brief period between sunset and sunrises that I could do a "bathroom break" so that the mosquitoes or midges wouldn't bite. Anyway keep up your commentary Your a voice that needs to be heard.
One tip if I may add is to use a machete the locals use that tool, for so many things and it's easier to open the coconuts 😊.
Thanks! In the past I used to wear long sleeves, a head net, socks on my feet and hands, etc. I totally covered up to reduce the bites but I still got lots of bites. Those biting midges will crawl under your clothes. They are brutal. Plus it is really uncomfortable in a warm climate to be totally covered like that. No more! By accident I happened to sleep on a hill at the end of a peninsula one night and there was a steady breeze and no insects. That's when I figured it out. My new rule now is to follow the wind. If that's not possible then I would use a smokey fire to repel the insects. The insect repellant really seemed to work as well but I haven't yet tested it out overnight in an insect infested location... Regarding the knife. I know that a machete is more effective to open coconuts. In fact, a machete is more effective for a lot of cutting tasks. I wasn't looking for a knife specifically for this adventure. I just used what I had. At first I was thinking of doing it all primitive style but I changed my mind because I know how much time it then takes to perform simple tasks.
@ChadZuberAdventures
Chad:
Here's a question I always wandered and sometimes asked, but the response was mixed. I noticed that a lot of native peoples from the tropics are seldom bothered by the mosquitoes or midges. I always wandered. Why is that? I've always thought perhaps the food, but I'm not sure. Any thoughts on this?
I remember watching Isla de la Culebra series, really nostalgic to see this island adventure years later, thanks for sharing your experience and thoughts with us Chad you're the best.
The water is 80 degrees f?? Say what! I'd rough it there in a heartbeat! Beautiful. I wonder if people reuse any of Chad's creations. 😊 nice ending 😂excuse youuuuu
The worst thing here are the biting insects and the oppressive heat if you are dehydrated.
This is just incredible!! I have no words, what an adventure.
I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Hey Chad it's really nice to see you in a different setting. Cuz usually you're in the desert. Now you're on like a tropical island which is pretty cool. Just be careful don't hurt yourself
Thanks. Where should I go next?
@@ChadZuberAdventures what about a Jungle survival? Those with bamboo in it. So you could built stuff with bamboo or eat fresh bamboo shots
"Coconuts!" -Chad Zuber
As always excellent wholesome content. Thank you for the entertainment.
Thanks for watching
Im digging this series. Great job.
Absolutely stunning. U should try do a survival in an arctic terrain. That would be something new
While we are at it let's find an Eskimo and make them survive in the Mojave Desert
A friend of mine from Canada came to visit and said that the desert is definitely tougher than Canada.
@@ChadZuberAdventures nothing beats that dry heat and oppressive sun! :)
Just avoid using a submersible.
I love these!
That place still looks paradise to me :)
It looks like paradise but doesn't feel like it if you get 1000 insect bites.
Brother this is getting better by the episode. Keep up the great work 💯
Thanks!
Nice episode, Mr. Zuber! I really liked part where you explain in some way begging questions, but also in some way obvious stuff about fish, coconuts, bugs etc.
Hey Chad you want to know what I just realized about this video. You're actually talking in it. You usually don't talk in your videos you do like a voice over sometimes. But it's nice to actually hear you talk in one of your videos. Thank you for doing that.
For a long time I believed that people hated my voice because whenever I talked in those videos hardly anybody watched them.
youre a pro at climbin those coconut trees
you can use the coconut tree leaves as a roof cover instead of dry grass and you can also make a rope with coconuts hair
Originally I was going to do that but the grass is right there. The coconut branches are heavier and I'd have to carry them a good distance to get there. I know it seems really close in the video because I don't shoot video of the entire hike between the beach and my camp but it's further than you think.
i remember watching this guys snake island series in elementary school when he had just a few hundred subscribers… so cool be able to see how far you’ve come man!
Thanks buddy! I appreciate that.
This is such a good video🏆
Awesome Chad 👍I've been really enjoying watching the island adventure
Glad to hear it!
I think alot of us would love to put ourselves in a position to see how we would do being on an island survival situation. Keep living the dream!
Many would like to think about it. That’s why they watch others and then judge their actions while having all their comforts at home.
14:19 - as someone that lives in the desert and spent 8 months (including the whole summer) without running water or a working vehicle a couple years ago, i can definitely confirm that working for your water does make you appreciate it more. i spent that whole 8 months walking back and forth between my house and a local park 6-8 times per week with gallon jugs for drinking water, and 5 gallon buckets for bathing, washing clothes, washing dishes, and flushing the toilet.
i appreciate the hell out of running water
one of the best videos on internet for sure . i wish that i can do the same and be out of the city
Those no-see-um bugs are only this ` big but their teeth are this \\ big. I wonder if your insect repellant helps with the sun as well. I am amazed that you can avoid sun poisoning without sunblock. I am a shade dweller. I have been looking forward to this one.
Sun poisoning?? I never heard of that term. No, I believe that the sun is very good. Of course in moderation and within reason. I did get burned on this trip. The sun here was much stronger than that of the desert. But it healed up nicely.
very good, I believe I would have to make a parasol on the first day. Or mud up
Wonderful. I am skinning one of our rabbits as i watch this video
I'm surprised you didn't pick up some rocks or stones to put around the fire just to kind of prevent it from spreading.
It wasn't necessary. I just swept up the dry grass around it. Actually later I did add a few rocks but that wasn't recorded. Also later in the night I did lie down in the shelter for a little while to try resting there. The temperature was really nice and comfortable but the ants were crawling on me. I just needed to get the ants out or build a bed above ground.
I am loving this series! I do wanna know where you got those pants though, I really like the detachable legs to turn them into shorts
I didn't buy them. Someone gave me them for my birthday or something.
@@ChadZuberAdventures ah ok. They're pretty cool, I may have to find me a pair somewhere
In the video you can see a person walking behind the camera. You are not alone on that island. :)
2 week survival challenge would be awesome !❤
Que tal amigo Chad un gusto ver tus vídeos . a las hormigas no les gusta la ceniza asi que puedes hacer una cama de ella en el piso de tu refugio y eso las mantendrá a raya
Buen consejo. Has hecho esto? Yo nunca probé esa técnica. Hay que probar.
It’s very nice to see you go enjoy yourself this was definitely a good get away for you especially being in the desert for so long
Yeah, I need to try different locations. Any suggestions?
@@ChadZuberAdventures have you ever been to any Rocky Mountain landscapes I definitely think there can be so much done in a lush forest maybe southern Alaska ?
I just have to say you're an amazing survivalist knowledgeable and you do what you preach I would absolutely love to see a season of you and les stroud doing a challange.
Thanks. You are too kind.
shelter looks cozy asf
Best series in the channel! There is other similar to this one? Greetings!
Chad Zuber you really deserve Oscar mana... Your vlogging adventure your totality your authentic style all are Top Notch way above Hollywood artist
You really Master of Survival skill
You deserve your Own Netflix Story Dude
Gotta said Awesomeness at Max level
imma so hype about Adventure style mana... Really Masterpiece
The quote at the beginning means, to me, "don't worry about time, worry about going in the right direction"
Time certainly is a factor but if we get hung up on the time it takes then we may never begin the journey.
Looks like you are having a rough start on the island. Hopefully you will have better luck with the next video content. Timing and location is key. Think of Swiss family Robinson and what would they do.
Before I came here I had all kinds of ideas of what I was going to do but I ended up doing hardly any of it. Filming takes a lot of time and energy and there are always many unforeseen things that will happen. I just need more time so I can address all the issues that come up. It actually wasn't a hard time though. This was easy compared to a lot of other adventures I've been on. Despite not getting great sleep I felt very energized every day. Even on a calorie-restricted diet. I was really surprised how good I felt.
Well.. if you feel like you are doing good so far . Then you are definitely on the right track. You definitely need to build a bed off the ground to keep the annoying ants and other biting and stinging creepy crawlers off you. You said this was going to a 90 day adventure?. Are there any trees on the high ground? If so maybe you could utilize that area for the shade to minimize the dehydration factor. I would really like to see you thrive in that environment for the 90 day challenge.
What a pretty fish! I wonder if there are other edibles in the rocks you could find, like shellfish and crabs. Inspired by your last video I looked up how to propagate coconut palms and it's really simple! They would grow like weeds if everything didn't love eating them. HaHaHa
Yeah, there are chitons which are edible mollusks. I've eaten them many times before. Also a lot of sea urchins which are edible.
I noticed someone walking at the shore 14:25
A day hiker. I thought I was far enough away.
Nice clip Chad. Really looking forward to your next one. I love the new setting at the ocean. So beautiful there. 🫶
Saludos desde Argentina!❤
Saludoooooosss!
Great vid as always Chad. There is a technique that Asian and Indian tree-climbers use with a rope or cordage tied around the feets. It helps with the climb and stability up top.
I've done that before. It helps a little. I want to build my strength so I do it the hard way.
very great work! I've a question: how do you manage to open your eyes under the salt water? I suppose in couple years you should be able to drink it 🤣. seriously, how?
I just open them. It doesn't really sting. Vision is blurry underwater but it's good enough to see if there are any fish around.
@@ChadZuberAdventures got u! big thanks for that you always read and answer commentaries!
@@ChadZuberAdventures Eyes do not sting underwater, they sting when surfacing, due to the saltwater drying leaving tiny salt chrystals on the eye surface, very irritating. Afaict.
Great video, Chad really reminds me of Les Stroud. A certain Authenticity that you just don't see online.
I thank you for your kind words
Great job on the new vid I love it keep up the amazing work and stay strong
Thanks!
@@ChadZuberAdventures you’re welcome crush it and never quit
Having lived on the east coast of the USA most of my life and now in New Mexico for the last 10 years, I obviously have never attempted it but I know that many indigenous people used a binding around the ankles to provide leverage so they can climb tall coconut trees much easier. Just a suggestion for future use.
I’ve used that technique before too. It didn’t seem to help that much.
Hi.... great series
It's very exciting to see you on an adventure, it feels like you want to join It's very exciting😂....
You are gaining my respect sir! First one of your island survival videos popped up in my UA-cam recommendations and I thought: "What the heck, I'll give it a shot." Montane forests and the alpine transition zone at treeline are my favorite habitats. Moreover, I am not a big fan of the insects, venomous reptiles and arachnids that typically inhabit hotter climates than my usual hangouts above 45-degrees N. Thus, I rarely watch outdoor adventure videos recorded in tropics. That said, your island survival series has been entertaining and the videography commendable. I appreciate your straightforward and humble narrative style. For my tastes: Well done!
Would you mind revealing the make and model of your knife to enable my further research?
My late father carried a Marbles sheath knife in WW2, others carried Case, Western or other popular brands. Guy Clark famously penned and performed the song "Randall Knife" in tribute to his own father's WW2 service and the keepsake that commemorated it for him. I mention these things as preface to saying that I have some appreciation for knives with clip points, a blade fuller and a stacked-leather-discs handle, though I personally prefer a full tang with durable, riveted scales.
I'll confess skepticism of the practicality of saw-toothed backs, especially given the prevalence of exaggerated examples of the form that followed upon the popularity of the initial "Rambo, First Blood" movie. Whether the apparent efficiency of your knife's saw-toothed back in cutting the bamboo was a product of the bamboo material's deteriorating state, or actually due to an effective design has made me curious.
I don't have a lot of experience with knives. I'm no expert. I bought this knife a few years ago at an army surplus store. I once owned one 24 years ago and it held up well so I bought another. The saw edge worked quite well but I can't compare it to any other because of my lack of experience. I usually use stones for cutting.
Just cool!
Awesome that you brought pemmican. It's the best survival food.
I seriously had way more energy than I expected in only 1000 calories per day of pemmican.
Dear Mr. Zuber
👍👌👏 Another great episode. Very well done (video and work). But seriously??? 😱 At last you caught an eatable fish and put it back in the water!? 🙈 It wasn't that small and would've been a good addition for your diet. But I guess because of all the pemmican and the coconut calories it was worth to save a young life. 😁;-)
2) Please kindly allow me to suggest that you use a belt sling out of 4 to 6 rope pieces to help you climbing the palm trees. Or a belt made out of the sturdy green fishing net. This contraption would at least spare your forearms.
Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and health in particular.
Thanks.
You can do it very well. I have to wait to follow you next episode. Can I be more strange? If you can do it, I do it all the time.
If you tie a short length of rope to your feet, you can climb up trees more easily as the rope grasps the trunk.
love this series awesome work
To extract water, you need to do the following: dig a hole a little further from the coast, where there is sand, sand is a filter and water will seep more purified than in the ocean, let this water settle from turbidity for 2 hours right in the hole. Then the water from the pit is passed through coal and sand.
Have you done this? That would have to be a deep hole. I really don't see how it would not be salty though. From my understanding salt can't be filtered out. Only by distillation can it be separated from water.
A tall mountain base collects fresh water which flows into the sea below the surface.
Sería interesante que en un episodio te dedicaras a la pesca.
Sim, gosto muito da pesca. Mas neste lugar não era ótima.
@@ChadZuberAdventures era español no portugués xd
Finally the wait is over ❤🎉😘
That fish now has a story to tell his/her children
Very Very Good ! Thanks. The best.
Zubers stone man it's legendary
Or Zubers Rock
Great series, I always look forward to your videos. Why don’t you use a loop of rope around your ankles to help climb the trees?
I've done that before but I didn't find it that much easier. ua-cam.com/video/pkxKsPKHFCw/v-deo.html
Nothing like a magnesium stick to light a fire. But damn, I love seeing you create that fire using that mini bow.
I wanted to do friction fire but didn't seem to have the time to collect resources.
Wow wow super ❤❤❤❤
I'm really enjoyed thanku brother
i really suggest a machete next time, in jamaica we can whack open coconuts is just a few quick swings. use to love jelly coconuts (green) as a kid but sadly dont get them where i live now. costco sells the water at least aha
I know
Chad luôn biết cách làm mới mình, tuyệt lắm anh trai
Another awesome episode. I really love these. Thanks Chad!
Thanks for watching.
One of my favorite youtuber ❤❤❤
Legends is back ❤❤
Let's do this!
This was pretty cool. Cheers, Chad! ✌️
You did great , shooting it too.
14:28 I saw someone walking behind
It was Aquaman
probably because Chad is close to a beach resort with tourists LOL
Yeah, someone hiking the beach. I don't know. I didn't interact with anyone. I knew that there was a possibility that someone could appear. It's hard to find places these days, especially on islands, where humans don't go.
sooo nice i'd love to do an adventure like that by my own
Chad! tem um visitante na ilha! 14:25
Sim, todo o mundo já me disse. Eu não sabia. Nem vi essa pessoa até ler os comentários. É difícil achar um lugar neste mundo onde não chegam mais pessoas.
Chad, the fish you caught seems to be a kind of grouper or garoupa usually lives among / between the rocks on the sea-bed.
Yeah, it's a spotted grouper.
🎉🎉🎉
مرحباً لِمَ لا تربط حبلا إلى خصرك مع الشجرة كما يفعل متسلقوا أشجار النخيل فهذا سيعطيك راحة أكثر أثناء قطاف جوز الهند وكذلك بعض الأمان أثناء التسلق ❤
Only a true Chad swims in salt water with their eyes open.
Heeeyyy👏👏👏
Love your videos and skills you show
Hi there's all sorts of different ways. Of cooking good on you for trying it
