We need something like this on TV again. Growing up with Mythbusters taught me to think critically, and to look at problems from all angles because there is often times more than one "right" solution.
@@hipjoeroflmto4764 I used to do that kinda stuff all the time in the Boy Scouts (not always a lot else to do if, say, rain sabotages the trip by making the hiking trail unsafe). Sandals, hats, wallets, even rudimentary gloves...it's easier than it looks. They don't keep more than a week or so at best, but it'd buy you the time to get something better in a survival situation.
Right?! I knew Adam had some hatmaking knowledge/experience, but he didn't have traditional leather nor any of his milliner supplies. That hat looks great.
@@BornIn1500 Really? I was convinced that they were dropped off on a deserted island in the middle of the pacific ocean with nothing but their clothes and duck tape. You've spoiled my pleasure of watching this video. :-(
Yea it's just movie magic. As a spear fisherman, I can say 100% he didn't land that pathetic shot unless it died right before that and he somehow hit it floating on the surface. It's just TV and people being gullible. Hunting takes years of practice, and I'm just not seeing any of that on display here literally at all.
i keep a little of everything a lighter some butane a filter from a house water system one of the string ones as it holds about 30 yards of string, bits of metal batteries tools etc if im going far out of the area especially if im goinf in the woods its nice to have and not need than need and not have
This was one of my all-time favorite episodes. Despite not being friends, Adam and Jaime had a lot of mutual respect for each other. If they were in a real life-and-death situation together, I think they would both survive.
2:34 It was great how Adam came up with the duct tape island idea there on the spot, saved the episode! (If they can't think of something to do, the cameramen go home and there's no episode filmed that day)
Oh boy, the newspaper article at 3:12: "Walruss attacks redhead". I lost it!! 😀 And overall the fact that the whole 3 seconds of this was for TV and nobody will ever read it there. So much dedication! That it purely awesome
I want to see how they’ll get the island to the desert range they used to blow stuff up. “In this episode, we dig up the island and helicopter it to California”.
That boat was amazing. In no time at all, they sailed around the entire world and made it back to their starting point. That's what they did right............!?

Saying “I’d kill for a work bench right now” while in a situation where you’re desperately trying to find water for survival is the most Adam Savage thing ever 😂😂😂
The only thing I would have liked to see is them use the duct tape itself as fire starter. The inner layer is highly flammable. Not the "plastic" side or the sticky side but that stuff in between it, the stuff that gets left behind with old duct tape being torn off, is highly flammable.
@@johnwest7993 It's not an actual deserted island, and local laws probably got in the way. The chickens may be protected, or they may have to be hunted with a gun or bow rather than caught in a trap (many locales prohibit traphunting). Either that, or the wild chickens can be unsafe to eat (parasites for example) so it was safer to catch one for demonstration purposes and then let it go. No point killing it if they aren't going to eat it.

He has some views (mostly political), opinions and behaviors (he is very very petty and meticulous) that drive me crazy and we regularly argue about when we discuss politics. But we work well together. You don't have to like every colleague, but you have to be professional enough not to let work suffer because of personal issues.

I haven’t watched mythbusters for probably 10 years. It’s interesting to see how enthusiastic and good Adam is at delivering lines but it’s not really Jamie’s thing lol
I have an old pair of sandals which I've had for probably 2 years now. The left one snapped about a year ago and I just wrapped a bunch duct tape around it and voila.

I still use them almost daily because of the incredible sound, unfortunately the left one (ha) popped off of the rest of the set at the pivot point.

They're quite a bit tighter fitting which gives them SO much more depth and life. The bass in these things is incredible since the fix. All with just duct tape 👍 .
Its such a shame you guys broke up. Loved watching yall work on things and solve problems often with the experience of a combination of both of yalls ideology’s. You guys so often accomplished the seemingly impossible with mainly knowledge granted there was a huge budget, every tool imaginable, and a good bit of extra manpower at times, but the knowledge was key, and yall shared that with us for decades. Thank you guys. I miss seeing yall and your shenanigans.
Imagine you just paddled to another deserted island but this one is now a fresh start with fewer supplys (only what you brought here) but with a lot more survival skills. Like reaching the next level.
@austins.2495 where did you learn that phrase? Oftentimes, when people get their feelings hurt, they will project what has been said to them that made them hurt. So, who hurt you? This is the second reply of your's that I've read that says the same thing. What's wrong? Go back to the nursing home, grandpa, we don't want you on UA-cam anymore.
When i was a kid i would have a reoccuring nightmare based on this episode. Lmao. Standed on an island with only duck tape and the Mythbusters. And for some reason, a witch.
I've already expected thousands trying to say that they fake this and that about the survivability and tedium, heck they're even transparent about the caveats of the episode (27:07 and everything else), but even if that's really the proven case, this video doesn't change its purpose: to teach the things that can be done with duct tape in survival situations. After all, no ordinary survivalist will have like hundred pounds of duct tape to start in an island lmao
It still makes me sad that off screen, these two didn't like each other. Not that they hated each other, but they were very open about not wanting anything to do with each other outside of the show.
yea i mean just because they werent friends doesnt mean they didnt respect each other or they didnt work well together. plenty of times people wont necessarily get along but can still work well together, also times were people are good friends but dont work well together
@@silverstone9836 In interviews they've made, both during the show and after. They were coworkers, at that's all. They were not friends, didn't hang out after work, didn't go to each other's house and have a bbq. Not really all that unusual. I don't invite anyone over from work either.
this is how survival shows should be, have a weird gimmic, don't actually hurt cute animals, don't pretend your actually starving the actors, ect. would have liked another reminder that unfiltered un boiled water is unsafe too but still great
@alanl719 Nope. Water studies reveal that all rivers and lakes are polluted now. Is it much better than stagnant water, yes, but would need to be boiled for safety.
@JenC1214 polluted with what? Anecdotally I spend my summers as a guide in the western united states, I'll drink all my water without boiling or filtering and haven't gotten sick in almost a decade of work.
Watched this show and every time they used duct tape I yelled at the tv. They would put the second layer of tape at a 90 degree angle. If you have used duct tape you find out it will tear across or lengthwise if you put the second layer at a 45 degree angle it is tear resistant. Simple thing but it seems to have escaped every one on the show.
And they also fried the chicken so evenly in deep fat and that strange roll that seemed to have been cooked in foil for a couple of days. And how did they manage to light a fire doing it wrong? :D
@JemmC89 Are you waiting comments like "I took the idea of... It's all I wanted to say here." ? :DDD You can't give any useful info this way. But if you saying something done wrong or faked, it IS useful to other people who, YES, may be wanted to see all real and have no expertise and/or experience to detect if it's true or not. And isn't it bad to make people shure you made fire with a stick when you actually failed so they will in hope of this method being in challenging situation and they may fail on this and there will no kind crew who will feed you?
Water is the #1 priority...so we are going to make a giant SOS , we gonna make hats , we gonna make shoes and then we are going to start looking for water ... So #4 priority?
Think about it though. Imagine you're washed ashore, and a rescue party is looking for you WAY SOONER than you anticipated. You might not have a sign to say SAVE ME because you're too busy pissing around making a water jug out of bamboo. Water is essential of course but you can bypass the whole hunt for water if you, well, just get saved.
its number 1 priority, but you also have roughly 2 days to look for it before things get serious... hat can shield you from the sun which help you conserve water in the long run, shoes can help avoid getting your feet injure and get an infection.
Priorities and objectives are 2 different things. Their priority to obtain water is number one but to achieve priority number 1, you must get through a few objectives first. When it comes to survival you really have to break things down and assess what are your immediate threats. What are your more long term threats and then you have to balance both as well. Working on objectives that help you achieve the more priorities at once the better your survivability. The sun and cuts are your most immediate threats in a situation like this. You can go a couple days without water. You can go a few days without food. But unless you have really good cloud or tree coverage, the sun could be rather deadly and at the very least give you a really bad sun burn which makes you uncomfortable which then of course leads to your morale dropping. The shoes are another big one as looking for food and water in a forest full of poky things like pine needles, rocks, sticks, etc. can protect you from getting cuts or what these guys pointed out, parasites. Getting sick and throwing up what little food and water you are able to scrounge up is extremely dangerous. Creating a hat and creating shoes are 2 key objectives that help you achieve just about every single priority simultaneously. Shelter/sleeping arrangements are something I would be thinking of while looking for clean sources of water and if i dont find one by a certain part of the day, i might build the most basic comfortable sleeping arrangements i can make to get through night 1. This means day one im not spending a ridiculous amount of energy trying to accomplish 1 task and i can get through the night relatively comfortably to get me well rested and ready for day two. The hope is to find water during day 1 but if unsuccessful, next plan is to wake up at the crack of dawn where there is barely daylight, because that is when the heat wont be crazy. Weather also plays a major factor, if it is a tropical island, it most likely will rain quite a bit. If it seems rainy day 1 and/or 2 I might only spend some time looking for fresh water, and spend more time gathering large leaves and find ways of capturing as much water as i can. If the days are dry then the focus would primarily be spend all day looking for fresh water. The point I am making is along with the priorities/objectives concept i mentioned earlier is that you have to be able to adapt at a moments notice. You need to be able to make quick assessments of the environment around you and determine the best course of action that leads to best survivability. Sometimes your priorities might shift at a moments notice. You might find animals to capture along your journey for water. depending on how desperate you need water might make you switch to capturing that animal; that is only if you are 100% certain you will find fresh water of course. if there is any doubt, about your ability to find water, then the best thing to do in that situation is ignore the animal and hope it shows up again later. Now keep in mind i am no expert. ive never been in a survival situation but i have educated myself alot. but nothing can truly prepare you for a survival situation than being thrown into it. My views are simply what I would attempt to do if i found myself in this type of scenario. I am not trying to say they are the best advice or even guarantee survivability; because every situation is unique in just about every way. The key skill that is your best friend is adaptability. If you can quickly think on your feet to find a solution to your most immediate issue, then your chances increase. But remember, you might get fortunate cuz you never know what the tide could bring you! ;)
To be fair if you are truly in a no shoes situation you will definitely need to fix that before hiking up a mountain or going onto a reef bed, thats like a cheese grater
They could have consumed the stagnant water as an enema. They would have received hydration without getting ill. It's disgusting, but survival is just that. You do what you must to survive.
So I looked this up, and from what I've read online, this is extremely dangerous since you're putting contaminated water directly into your intenstnes. It might work for a time, but you'll end up getting infected and dying from that rather than dehydration
Well he probably not. Its extremely hard to just spear a fish like that. Actual survival shows tell you how freakin hard it actually is without any practice. There is no way he just threw the spear a few times into the water (fish usually tend to not swim around a human running around in the water) and perfectly catches a small ahh fish, hitting the perfect angle. The water surface really does not make it easy to see a fish in waters like that.
Considering that is a major brand name I would hope that those watching this show had that level of common knowledge... Then I remember that I'm in the U.S. and the government makes every effort to make people too ignorant to be self sufficient.
This is one my all time favorite episodes of Mythbusters. I love that they didn’t kill a live chicken and used a store bought one lol which is ironic since every survival show has people killing and eating real wild life.
My favorite thing about this episode is that you can clearly see the building in the background during the escape at 43:42 makes me laugh every time. lol
Guysssss both DUCK and DUCT are correct. It was originally duck tape but has been referred to as duct tape more commonly and more consistently throughout its history due to the shift in its main use. Just because one came before the other does not make it any more correct. Use either.
This show was the only reason my brother and I would watch the discovery channel, i remember watching this in middle school (im 25 now) this is nostalgic.
It's called Duck Tape, it's always been called Duck Tape since it was first made from duck cloth in the 1890's. "Duct tape" is a misspelling/mispronunciation that people started calling it recently for some reason.
@@geigertec5921 I googled it!....Duck tape is merely a brand of tape! Duct tape is the strong silver tape used specifically for ducting.... Google has all the answers🤷🥴🤣🤣🤣🤣
Laying out SoS sigs gets often overlocked but its the most important bc you will die in 99%of cases in a Longterm Survival situation sonner or later so geting rescude fast means survival
I mean they did state in the episode "no so deserted island" and "Hawaii" The point was that Adam and Jamie were never actually in danger or stranded. But it doesn't change the validity of the experiment/mythbusting. they also stated "We're not gonna kill this chicken, the chicken we'll be eating later is store bought." As in they were never hiding the fact that they weren't really stranded.
Yeah “Duck tape” is a brand that makes all kinds of tape.. including this DUCT tape. Maybe the video is sponsored by Duck Tape, but then you’d think they would at least mention that. 🤷🏻♂️
Actually, it was called duck tape first. I believe it comes from ww2, where it was used to waterproof ammo cases. It was called Duck tape as a reference to it being watertight!

36:15 Saw what we weren't supposed to see from the gap between the trees on the left.
yeaaa
Rescues not comming, guy casually walks past the trees with hes dog @36.15
yep, noticed that too! lol You can also see large buildings (hotels?) at 43:41
I bet after this Jaime was like, “no more duct tape episodes” lol
I've already expected thousands trying to say that they fake this and that about the survivability and tedium, heck they're even transparent about the caveats of the episode (27:07 and everything else), but even if that's really the proven case, this video doesn't change its purpose: to teach the things that can be done with duct tape in survival situations.
After all, no ordinary survivalist will have like hundred pounds of duct tape to start in an island lmao
It still makes me sad that off screen, these two didn't like each other. Not that they hated each other, but they were very open about not wanting anything to do with each other outside of the show.
Are these like old episodes or do you just mean they used to not like each other. Or still dont
They just aren’t friends….it’s not that big of a thing. They respect and like each other fine.
yea i mean just because they werent friends doesnt mean they didnt respect each other or they didnt work well together. plenty of times people wont necessarily get along but can still work well together, also times were people are good friends but dont work well together
@@silverstone9836 In interviews they've made, both during the show and after. They were coworkers, at that's all. They were not friends, didn't hang out after work, didn't go to each other's house and have a bbq.
Not really all that unusual. I don't invite anyone over from work either.
they dont just not like each other- they're mortal enemies. they meet up every winter solstice to duel with blades
For starters, it's DUCT TAPE. FFS. Duck !
this is how survival shows should be, have a weird gimmic, don't actually hurt cute animals, don't pretend your actually starving the actors, ect. would have liked another reminder that unfiltered un boiled water is unsafe too but still great
Yeah the bush girl in me was like ehhhhhhh you should probably boil that first 🥲
@@ChromiumFilms it's flowing water, it'll be fine
@alanl719 Nope. Water studies reveal that all rivers and lakes are polluted now. Is it much better than stagnant water, yes, but would need to be boiled for safety.
@JenC1214 polluted with what? Anecdotally I spend my summers as a guide in the western united states, I'll drink all my water without boiling or filtering and haven't gotten sick in almost a decade of work.
This is hands down my favorite episode MythBusters!
I've been waiting for this one for soooooo long. 😊
me too
Watched this show and every time they used duct tape I yelled at the tv. They would put the second layer of tape at a 90 degree angle. If you have used duct tape you find out it will tear across or lengthwise if you put the second layer at a 45 degree angle it is tear resistant. Simple thing but it seems to have escaped every one on the show.
24:44 there is absolutely no chance he cought that fish 😂
It's actually not that difficult if you get the angle right.
Was nice the chicken got a pass, but are fish the lowest form of life or something?
@@4RedDwarf3 yes
@@4RedDwarf3 Always was
@4RedDwarf3 not really but like a little lower then chicken. It's more about the viewers not getting pissy
I came here looking for an episode of MythBusters and was surprised to see it was an episode of Red Green.
Amaizing how they cut the bamboo so clean ,a true miracle !
And they also fried the chicken so evenly in deep fat and that strange roll that seemed to have been cooked in foil for a couple of days. And how did they manage to light a fire doing it wrong? :D
@@Ma_X64 it was mentioned that the food they'll be eating would be store bought and so it was. most of what they've done were proof-of-concepts
@@nitori_kawashiro its funny how people only want this to be 100% legit and not try to take away the ideas given
They also made darktape knifes
@JemmC89 Are you waiting comments like "I took the idea of... It's all I wanted to say here." ? :DDD You can't give any useful info this way. But if you saying something done wrong or faked, it IS useful to other people who, YES, may be wanted to see all real and have no expertise and/or experience to detect if it's true or not. And isn't it bad to make people shure you made fire with a stick when you actually failed so they will in hope of this method being in challenging situation and they may fail on this and there will no kind crew who will feed you?
Just imagine if you add an endless assortment Od zipties to this setup 😂
Red Green would be proud of the use of Duct Tape.
Adam, it's the same island! 🤣
That little boat should be in the Smithsonian!
Water is the #1 priority...so we are going to make a giant SOS , we gonna make hats , we gonna make shoes and then we are going to start looking for water ... So #4 priority?
Think about it though. Imagine you're washed ashore, and a rescue party is looking for you WAY SOONER than you anticipated. You might not have a sign to say SAVE ME because you're too busy pissing around making a water jug out of bamboo. Water is essential of course but you can bypass the whole hunt for water if you, well, just get saved.
its number 1 priority, but you also have roughly 2 days to look for it before things get serious... hat can shield you from the sun which help you conserve water in the long run, shoes can help avoid getting your feet injure and get an infection.
Priorities and objectives are 2 different things. Their priority to obtain water is number one but to achieve priority number 1, you must get through a few objectives first. When it comes to survival you really have to break things down and assess what are your immediate threats. What are your more long term threats and then you have to balance both as well. Working on objectives that help you achieve the more priorities at once the better your survivability. The sun and cuts are your most immediate threats in a situation like this. You can go a couple days without water. You can go a few days without food. But unless you have really good cloud or tree coverage, the sun could be rather deadly and at the very least give you a really bad sun burn which makes you uncomfortable which then of course leads to your morale dropping. The shoes are another big one as looking for food and water in a forest full of poky things like pine needles, rocks, sticks, etc. can protect you from getting cuts or what these guys pointed out, parasites. Getting sick and throwing up what little food and water you are able to scrounge up is extremely dangerous. Creating a hat and creating shoes are 2 key objectives that help you achieve just about every single priority simultaneously. Shelter/sleeping arrangements are something I would be thinking of while looking for clean sources of water and if i dont find one by a certain part of the day, i might build the most basic comfortable sleeping arrangements i can make to get through night 1. This means day one im not spending a ridiculous amount of energy trying to accomplish 1 task and i can get through the night relatively comfortably to get me well rested and ready for day two. The hope is to find water during day 1 but if unsuccessful, next plan is to wake up at the crack of dawn where there is barely daylight, because that is when the heat wont be crazy. Weather also plays a major factor, if it is a tropical island, it most likely will rain quite a bit. If it seems rainy day 1 and/or 2 I might only spend some time looking for fresh water, and spend more time gathering large leaves and find ways of capturing as much water as i can. If the days are dry then the focus would primarily be spend all day looking for fresh water. The point I am making is along with the priorities/objectives concept i mentioned earlier is that you have to be able to adapt at a moments notice. You need to be able to make quick assessments of the environment around you and determine the best course of action that leads to best survivability. Sometimes your priorities might shift at a moments notice. You might find animals to capture along your journey for water. depending on how desperate you need water might make you switch to capturing that animal; that is only if you are 100% certain you will find fresh water of course. if there is any doubt, about your ability to find water, then the best thing to do in that situation is ignore the animal and hope it shows up again later. Now keep in mind i am no expert. ive never been in a survival situation but i have educated myself alot. but nothing can truly prepare you for a survival situation than being thrown into it. My views are simply what I would attempt to do if i found myself in this type of scenario. I am not trying to say they are the best advice or even guarantee survivability; because every situation is unique in just about every way. The key skill that is your best friend is adaptability. If you can quickly think on your feet to find a solution to your most immediate issue, then your chances increase. But remember, you might get fortunate cuz you never know what the tide could bring you! ;)
To be fair if you are truly in a no shoes situation you will definitely need to fix that before hiking up a mountain or going onto a reef bed, thats like a cheese grater
Hmm, what did I say?
They could have consumed the stagnant water as an enema. They would have received hydration without getting ill. It's disgusting, but survival is just that. You do what you must to survive.
So I looked this up, and from what I've read online, this is extremely dangerous since you're putting contaminated water directly into your intenstnes.
It might work for a time, but you'll end up getting infected and dying from that rather than dehydration
I can't believe Jaime actually speared a fish. that was insane lol
Defo did not
Well he probably not. Its extremely hard to just spear a fish like that. Actual survival shows tell you how freakin hard it actually is without any practice. There is no way he just threw the spear a few times into the water (fish usually tend to not swim around a human running around in the water) and perfectly catches a small ahh fish, hitting the perfect angle. The water surface really does not make it easy to see a fish in waters like that.
@@godoftestoe7956 “well he probably not.” oh yea, im going to listen to you 😂 stay in school, kid. You’re the future
@@austins.2495 your* the future

29:20 I recognize some of those chicken parts from the local fast-food place.
i miss grant :(
This was by far more entertaining than a 'survivor' show with all the drama. It makes me want to test myself at some skills, too.
People who never watched past episodes won't know that Duct Tape can be called Duck Tape as well.
Considering that is a major brand name I would hope that those watching this show had that level of common knowledge... Then I remember that I'm in the U.S. and the government makes every effort to make people too ignorant to be self sufficient.

My body chews through water like a fire hose. I would have been unalive about halfway through making the SOS sign. 😆
This is one my all time favorite episodes of Mythbusters. I love that they didn’t kill a live chicken and used a store bought one lol which is ironic since every survival show has people killing and eating real wild life.
I mean they didn’t cook that at all 😂
Rewatching this knowing that adam savage doesnt even like duct tape makes it so much funnier ngl
15:51 That's a big wet hole.
That's what he said
My favorite thing about this episode is that you can clearly see the building in the background during the escape at 43:42 makes me laugh every time. lol
Guysssss both DUCK and DUCT are correct. It was originally duck tape but has been referred to as duct tape more commonly and more consistently throughout its history due to the shift in its main use. Just because one came before the other does not make it any more correct. Use either.
NUH UH!!!
You're incredibly wrong. It is tape for ducts. No one can say "duct" ..then DUCK tape came out😅
@@LadywatchingByrd I thought so, too, but you're wrong. "Duck tape" is recorded in the OED from 1899. "Duct tape" emerged in the 1960s.
@@LadywatchingByrd You say that but it’s clear you haven’t actually double checked you’re correct before commenting

Duck tape? I thought it was duct tape., because it's used on ducting🤷 Shows how much i know🤤
It's duct tape...but they do make a brand name called duck tape
@@jamiejenkins5643 Which is designed specifically for use in ducting... I've used it for ducting. 🤷 I dunno 🥴
It's called Duck Tape, it's always been called Duck Tape since it was first made from duck cloth in the 1890's. "Duct tape" is a misspelling/mispronunciation that people started calling it recently for some reason.
@@geigertec5921 I googled it!....Duck tape is merely a brand of tape! Duct tape is the strong silver tape used specifically for ducting.... Google has all the answers🤷🥴🤣🤣🤣🤣
Laying out SoS sigs gets often overlocked but its the most important bc you will die in 99%of cases in a Longterm Survival situation sonner or later so geting rescude fast means survival
43:25 big ass building right there lol
I mean they did state in the episode "no so deserted island" and "Hawaii"
The point was that Adam and Jamie were never actually in danger or stranded. But it doesn't change the validity of the experiment/mythbusting.
they also stated "We're not gonna kill this chicken, the chicken we'll be eating later is store bought." As in they were never hiding the fact that they weren't really stranded.
@@samdillard1824 we know, it's just fun to point out after you see it so many times , other have done it and will keep doing it.
thanks for uploading this to youtube
Duck tape? DUCK tape???
I think it's a brand name?
@@matthewdawson9364it's a brand of cheap shitty knock off duct tape that has 1/4 of the strength of regular duct tape lol
@@matthewdawson9364 They never disclose brand names of the products they use.
My guess is the editor is 21 and never had a tool in his hand up to this day.
Yeah “Duck tape” is a brand that makes all kinds of tape.. including this DUCT tape.
Maybe the video is sponsored by Duck Tape, but then you’d think they would at least mention that. 🤷🏻♂️
Thank you sooooo much for uploading these!!!!!! :) man i miss mythbusters!
First things in a survival Situation are:
1. Find water.
2. Find shelter/fire.
3. Find food.
4. Signal help.
Always love these dudes ambition
Please tell me that title is a typo and Americans don't actually call it DUCK tape lmao
Thank you for mentioning this. I was starting to question my sanity.

Actually, it was called duck tape first. I believe it comes from ww2, where it was used to waterproof ammo cases. It was called Duck tape as a reference to it being watertight!
@@juliusbrom I had to verify this, but you're absolutely right en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duct_tape
